Survey data on artificial intelligence use, awareness of AI's environmental impact, climate anxiety and pro-climate behavioural intentions

Overview

Cross-sectional consumer survey data collected within the research project "Opportunities in the transition towards low carbon economy mitigating climate change: Stimulating low carbon consumption through behavioral incentives and nudges (TRANSCLIMA)" (ref. PID2021-123686OB-I00), University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU.

The dataset supports a model in which the intensity of consumers' use of artificial intelligence services is associated with pro-climate intentions through a sequential pathway running from climate anxiety to climate commitment, with awareness of AI's environmental impact moderating the association between use intensity and climate anxiety.
