Raw survey responses on eco-anxiety, subjective well-being, and pro-environmental behavior (Ukraine, N=309)
Description
Participants were recruited through a snowball sampling method, beginning with initial respondents who completed an online questionnaire and were subsequently asked to share the survey link with their personal networks. Data were collected from March 14 to April 22, 2024, using Google Forms. All participants gave their consent electronically before taking part in the study and agreed that their anonymous answers could be used for research. Some personal information like email addresses and last names was collected only for administrative reasons but was kept safe and not used in the analysis. This method helped to gather a diverse group of Ukrainian adults. All identifying information was removed or protected before data analysis to ensure privacy. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Psychology at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University on February 28, 2023 (meeting minutes No. 9). In this dataset, the variables for pro-environmental behavior are labeled as b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8, bs1, bs2, bs3, and bs4. The eco-anxiety scale variables include affective symptoms (H1A, H2A, H3A, H4A), rumination (H5R, H6R, H7R), behavioral symptoms (H8B, H9B, H10B), and anxiety about personal impact (H11X, H12X, H13X). The emotional component of subjective well-being is represented by positive affect (p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6) and negative affect (n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6). The cognitive component of subjective well-being is measured by variables sl1, sl2, sl3, sl4, and sl5.

Steps to reproduce
1. Select and prepare validated instruments for measuring pro-environmental behavior, subjective well-being, and eco-anxiety. Specifically, use the 12-item pro-environmental behavior scale proposed by I. Kryazh; the Ukrainian adaptation of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) for emotional well-being; the Ukrainian adaptation of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for cognitive well-being; and the Ukrainian adaptation of the Eco-Anxiety Scale by T. Hogg. 2. Develop an online questionnaire incorporating these selected scales using a platform such as Google Forms. 3. Recruit participants using a snowball sampling method by distributing the online questionnaire and asking initial respondents to share the survey link with their personal networks. 4. Obtain electronic informed consent from all participants before data collection. 5. Collect data using Google Forms over the specified period. 6. Ensure all identifying personal data (e.g., emails, last names) are collected solely for administrative purposes, stored securely, and excluded from analysis to maintain participant anonymity. 7. Analyze anonymous respondent answers using JASP software (version 0.19.3).
