Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
If there is a link between personality qualities & a pro-environment outlook, more investigation can be done to determine whether those who exhibit these particular personality features take part in climate action. Studying peoples personalities & attitudes toward their environments on a larger scale could assist policymakers in creating effective policy recommendations that are suited to various personality types. Alternately, examining the personality characteristics of people who are not prone to eco-anxiety would aid in future research so that we can examine particularly destructive consumer behavior regarding the environment, among these people.Timepoint: 7 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Studying the personality traits of individuals who are more prone to climate anxiety will help identify vulnerable populations & help formulate therapeutic treatment plans that can help alleviate climate anxiety.Could help study climate anxiety as a motivating force that results in climate action.Timepoint: 7 months
