Changing frame, not the climate: a study on the interaction between eco-anxiety and need for cognitive closure on pro-environmental behaviors

The aim of this study is to have a deeper understanding of what eco-anxiety is and what effects it has on pro-environmental behaviors. We also want to understand how different frames of the same message regarding climate change can elicit willingness to adopt pro-environmental behaviors and which frame is the most effective. Lastly, we want to consider the role of social norms and personal norms, the need for cognitive closure and political orientation on pro-environmental behaviors.
