Eco-Emotions and Pro-Environmental Behavior Survey Data from Dutch and German Participants

311 survey responses from a Dutch and German population examining relationships between eco-anxiety, eco-guilt, eco-grief, and pro-environmental behavior. The cross-sectional data was collected via an online survey and analyzed using mediation models. The dataset was authored by Michele Petkovski and last updated on 2026-05-19.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the mediating role of eco-guilt between eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behavior based on the described model.
• Investigating the moderating effect of age on the relationship between eco-anxiety and eco-guilt as mentioned in the study.
• Replicating the study's findings on the non-linear, suppressor-like effect of eco-guilt using the provided data.
• Exploring correlations between the three measured eco-emotions and pro-environmental behavior.

Strengths

• Includes data from 311 participants, providing a basis for statistical analysis.
• Examines a specific population (Dutch and German) at relatively high risk for climate change effects like floods.
• Data is structured for mediation analysis with eco-guilt and eco-grief as mediators, and age, gender, and proximity to water as moderators.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
