SUMMARY:

Climate change has produced impacts that extend beyond the environmental sphere to encompass psychological dimensions, with evidence that female adolescents in contexts of socioenvironmental vulnerability constitute a particularly exposed group. In Brazil, the intersection of structural inequalities related to gender, race, and territory with the increasing frequency of extreme climate events represents a scenario that remains largely underinvestigated in psychology. This dissertation aims to investigate eco-anxiety levels among female adolescents in socioenvironmental vulnerability contexts and to understand, from the adolescents' own perspectives, the impacts of climate change on their territories and daily lives. The research will be conducted in two complementary stages. Study 1 consists of an integrative literature review on eco-anxiety in adolescents. Study 2 is an empirical study with a qualitative-quantitative approach and exploratory character, conducted through ecological insertion, a method that presupposes the researcher's entry into the participants' context with the aim of understanding their lived reality from their own perspectives. Participants will be female adolescents aged 12 to 18 involved in the project promoted by Instituto Gol Girls, in municipalities of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The instruments include a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Youth Self-Report (YSR) and the Brazilian version of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS). Data collection will employ the participatory methodology known as Photovoice, which enables participants to represent and reflect on their reality through photographic records, complemented by field diary notation.
