- Abstract
- Diving into the psychological depths of climate change, this thesis unravels the intricate dance between climate anxiety, coping mechanisms, and environmental identity. It probes how strategies like problem-focused, emotion-focused, and meaning-focused coping influence our mental response to climate threats, revealing their powerful impact on our environmental self-perception and emotional well-being. The research underscores the complexity of our psychological battles in the face of a warming world.
