My colleagues and I are investigating this in connection with manifestations of eco-anxiety (or climate anxiety) in adults aged 18 to 35.
A $50 (CAD) prepaid credit card will be drawn amongst participants. 💳
We are completely independent in conducting this study and are doing so on a volunteer basis. None of the researchers are receiving funds nor a salary from any video-game or other company.
This study is approved by the Research Ethics Board of the Faculty of Literature and Social Sciences of the University of Sherbrooke. 🎓
Thank you for your help! 🙂
There is a difference between climate concern, where you desperately want to do anything to fix the climate problems, and climate anxiety, where you are so overwhelmed by the climate issues that it interferes with your ability to take any action.
I suspect this study is focusing only on the latter.
Concerned about anxiety? Try ignoring it with video games!
