Abstract

Climate change, risk perception, and eco-anxiety are subjects of growing research interest in the modern time. However, there is paucity of research about these variables and their overall impact. Additionally, these variables have been studied in a limited nature in the context of Theory of Planned Behaviour. The current study aimed to confirm whether measures of eco-anxiety and risk perception capture distinct emotional responses to climate change. Additionally, it also aimed to examine how all these constructs can be understood in the light of Theory of Planned Behaviour. It was found that attitude, norms, PBC, risk perception and eco-anxiety has a significant positive correlation with Climate Change Adaptation Behaviour Intention. Implications suggest that the understanding of the sub-components of Theory of Planned Behaviour along with a deep understanding of risk perception and eco-anxiety may help to create psycho-education modules which may help to promote Climate Change Adaptation Behaviour Intention.
