L'eco-ansia è un termine che si sta diffondendo rapidamente nel linguaggio comune. Partendo da un'analisi del cambiamento climatico in atto, la tesi approfondisce i temi del rapporto fra essere umano e ambiente, in particolare le ripercussioni dell'emergenza ambientale sulla salute mentale, in un'otttica interdisciplinare. Per arricchire il dibattito sul tema, la tesi svolge una revisione sistematica della letteratura psicologica con le parole chiave "eco-anxiety" o "ecoanxiety" secondo il metodo PRISMA, chiedendosi in che modo la disciplina contribuisca alla comprensione del fenomeno. Vengono presentati i risultati e in seguito discussi, divisi fra contributi teorici, empirici ed applicativi. In conclusione ci si interroga sul ruolo attuale e quello possibile e futuro della psicologia per affrontare l'eco-ansia.

Abstract
Eco-anxiety is a term that is rapidly spreading in common language. Starting from an analysis of climate change, the thesis explores the relationship between human beings and the environment, in particular the repercussions of the environmental emergency on mental health, in an interdisciplinary way. To enrich the debate on the topic, the thesis carries out a systematic review of psychological literature with the keywords "eco-anxiety" or "ecoanxiety" according to the PRISMA method, wondering how the discipline contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon. The results are presented and then discussed, cathegorized as theoretical, empirical and applicative contributions. In conclusion, we wonder about the current and possible future role of psychology in addressing eco-anxiety.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
