To Evaluate the Effect of a Group Intervention Based on Emotion Regulation
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of a group intervention based on emotion regulation as a coping strategy for eco-anxiety and eating-related eco-concerns in Mexican adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the intervention group show a significant decrease in eco-anxiety at the end of the intervention and at the four-month follow-up? * Does the intervention group show a significant reduction in eating-related eco-concerns, as well as improvement in emotion regulation and adaptive coping styles? Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to determine whether an intervention based on emotion regulation improves adaptive coping styles. Participants will: * Attend the intervention sessions weekly for 6 weeks. * Complete the assessment instruments at three time points: prior to the start of the intervention, at the end of the intervention, and 4 months post-intervention.
