Abstract

Amaç: Kesitsel olarak planlanan bu çalışmanın amacı yetişkin bireylerde eko-anksiyetenin sürdürülebilir besin tüketim davranışları ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma verileri anket formu kullanılarak online platformlar aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Anket formunda; genel bilgiler, Eko-Anksiyete Ölçeği ve Sürdürülebilir Besin Tüketim Davranışları Ölçeği yer almaktadır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 432 bireyin %82.4’ü kadın olup ortalama yaş 31.9 ± 13.0 yıldır. Daha genç yaştaki bireylerde, öğrencilerde ve asgari ücretin altında gelire sahip olanlarda eko-anksiyetenin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Çeşitli karıştırıcı faktörlere göre düzeltme yapıldıktan sonra Sürdürülebilir Besin Tüketim Davranışları Ölçeği’nin toplam puanı ile alt boyutlardan Satın Alma Tercihleri ve Beslenme Tercihleri puanlarındaki artış, Eko-Anksiyete Ölçek puanındaki artışla ilişkili bulunmuştur (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak eko-anksiyetesi yüksek olanların satın alma tercihlerinin ve besin tüketim tercihlerinin daha sürdürülebilir olduğu görülmüştür. İklim değişikliği farkındalığına yönelik etkili müdahalelerin ve bilgilendirme politikalarının geliştirilmesi bireylerde eko-anksiyetenin azaltılarak sürdürülebilir besin tüketim davranışlarının kazanılmasına katkı sağlayabilir.

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the relationship between eco-anxiety and sustainable food consumption behaviors in adults.
Material and Method: Study data were collected via online platforms using a questionnaire form. The questionnaire included general information, Eco-Anxiety Scale and Sustainable Food Consumption Behaviors Scale.
Results: Of the 432 individuals who participated in the study, 82.4% were female and the mean age was 31.9 ± 13.0 years. It was determined that eco-anxiety was higher in younger individuals, students and those with an income below the minimum wage (p<0.05). After adjusting for various confounding factors, an increase in the total score of the Sustainable Food Consumption Behaviors Scale and the Purchasing Preferences and Nutrition Preferences sub-dimensions were found to be associated with an increase in the Eco-Anxiety Scale score (p<0.05).
Conclusion: As a result, it was observed that the purchasing preferences and food consumption preferences of those with high eco-anxiety were more sustainable. The development of effective interventions and information policies for climate change awareness may contribute to the acquisition of sustainable food consumption behaviors by reducing eco-anxiety in individuals.
