„A Reflexive Thematic Analysis of Biographical Interviews on Anxiety and Coping Strategies – Insights from Poland.”
The presented study explored how people experience anxieties and other emotions related to the environment within the context of their life stories. Fifteen biographical interviews with men and women of different ages from Poland were subjected to reflexive thematic analysis. The analysis revealed a broad spectrum of emotions directed toward various environmental issues, which we discuss in relation to people’s reflections on the environment and the course of their biographies.
