Abstract
The earth is under a great threat of destruction due to careless and exploitative anthropological actions. The current research explored the relationship between eco- anxiety (EAn), eco-activism (EAc) and environmental concern (EC) while determining the extent to which eco-activism gets determined by eco-anxiety and environmental concern. Three scales, namely, Hoggs Anxiety Scale, Pro Environmental Behaviour Scale and Taj Environmental Attitude scale were used. Pearsons correlation and regression were used for statistical analysis. A significant (0.01 level) mild positive correlation of 0.22 between eco-activism and eco-anxiety and of 0.33 between eco- activism and environmental concern was found. Regression analysis showed that eco- anxiety and environmental concern significantly predicted eco-activism. The relationship between the variables was further explained in the discussion section.
