Abstract：
The increasing number of losses and damages caused by the climate crisis has rendered the psychometric assessment of the climate crisis more important than ever, specifically in developing countries, such as Turkey. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-13), using exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) on the cross-sectional data collected from 445 adults (286 females and 159 males; Mage = 29.76, range 18-65). The results supported the four-factor solution of the original version in the Turkish sample. Further analysis confirmed the invariance of the HEAS-13 across genders. The results demonstrated significant correlations of the HEAS-13 subscales with the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the Anthropocentric Narcissism Scale (ANS), except for that between the behavioral symptoms subscale of the HEAS-13 and the ANS. Both the total and the subscale scores of the HEAS-13 were also found to be reliable, given the internal consistency and test-retest reliability values. The Turkish version of the HEAS-13 can expand the scientific understanding of eco-anxiety, which can help develop mental health services to mitigate the negative mental health impacts of the environmental crisis.
摘要：
气候危机造成的损失和损害越来越多,使得对气候危机的心理评估比以往任何时候都更加重要,特别是在发展中国家，比如土耳其。这项研究的目的是检查土耳其版本的Hogg生态焦虑量表（HEAS-13）的心理测量特性，使用探索性结构方程模型（ESEM）对445名成年人（286名女性和159名男性；Mage=29.76，范围18-65）收集的横截面数据。结果支持土耳其样本中原始版本的四因素解决方案。进一步的分析证实了HEAS-13在不同性别之间的不变性。结果表明，HEAS-13分量表与简短症状量表（BSI）和以人为中心的自恋量表（ANS）显着相关，除了HEAS-13和ANS的行为症状量表之间的差异。HEAS-13的总分和子量表得分也被认为是可靠的，给定内部一致性和重测可靠性值。土耳其版本的HEAS-13可以扩展对生态焦虑的科学理解，这可以帮助发展心理健康服务，以减轻环境危机对心理健康的负面影响。
