Abstract

Climate change distress has been shown to be associated with markers of negative mental health. However, it is unclear whether climate change distress is also associated with suicidal ideation and whether this association might be mediated by perceptions of entrapment. On this background, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between climate change distress/impairment, entrapment, and suicidal ideation. Participants were recruited at a university in the Ruhr region in Germany. Overall, 323 participants (68.4% female; Mage=26.14, SDage=8.35, range: 18–63 years) filled out self-report questionnaires on climate change distress/impairment, entrapment, and suicidal ideation online. Climate change distress/impairment was significantly positively associated with suicidal ideation. Entrapment completely mediated the association between climate change distress/impairment and suicidal ideation. Results underlines how stressful and existential climate change is experienced by many young persons. Findings underscore the need to develop and evaluate interventions to target climate change distress/impairment.

气候变化带来的困扰、禁锢和自杀意念
气候变化的困扰已被证明与消极心理健康的标志物有关。然而,目前还不清楚气候变化的困扰是否也与自杀意念有关,也不清楚这种关联是否会受到被困感的影响。在此背景下,本研究旨在调查气候变化困扰/损害、禁锢和自杀意念之间的关联。研究人员在德国鲁尔区的一所大学中招募。共有 323 名参与者(68.4% 为女性;平均年龄为 26.14 岁,最小年龄为 8.35 岁,年龄范围为 18-63 岁)在线填写了有关气候变化困扰/损害、禁锢和自杀意念的自我报告问卷。气候变化带来的困扰/损害与自杀倾向呈显著正相关。禁锢完全介导了气候变化困扰/损害与自杀意念之间的关联。研究结果凸显了气候变化给许多年轻人带来的压力和存在感。研究结果强调,有必要制定和评估针对气候变化困扰/损害的干预措施。

期刊介绍: Climatic Change is dedicated to the totality of the problem of climatic variability and change - its descriptions, causes, implications and interactions among these. The purpose of the journal is to provide a means of exchange among those working in different disciplines on problems related to climatic variations. This means that authors have an opportunity to communicate the essence of their studies to people in other climate-related disciplines and to interested non-disciplinarians, as well as to report on research in which the originality is in the combinations of (not necessarily original) work from several disciplines. The journal also includes vigorous editorial and book review sections.
