Overview

Systematic review highlights associations between eco-emotions and mental health in young adults, suggesting necessary data collection improvements.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze the relationship between eco-emotions and mental health outcomes among young adults.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of literature on eco-emotions in young adults (18-29 years).
  • Searched fourteen databases for studies assessing eco-anxiety and its association with anxiety, depression, and stress.
  • Performed meta-regressions to examine variability in reported associations.
  • Found moderate positive associations between eco-anxiety and depression (r = 0.29), anxiety (r = 0.34), and stress (r = 0.30).
  • Identified higher eco-anxiety and eco-fear scores in populations facing direct environmental impacts.
  • Highlighted the need for better data on eco-emotions in low-and-middle-income nations.
