Tingginya produksi tekstil dan pakaian yang diikuti perilaku konsumtif masyarakat akan meningkatkan limbah pakaian yang berdampak negatif bagi lingkungan. Fenomena ini meningkatkan kecemasan individu akan kerusakan lingkungan
(eco-anxiety). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti korelasi antara tingkat
eco-anxiety dengan intensi membeli produk pakaian ramah lingkungan. Peneliti menggunakan desain korelasional dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 260 partisipan (usia 18-65 tahun). Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah
The Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-13) dan alat ukur
green purchase intention yang telah ditranslasi ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan diadaptasi dengan konteks pakaian
. Hasil analisis korelasi
Pearson menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan dengan efek kecil antara
eco-anxiety dan intensi membeli produk pakaian ramah lingkungan
, r(260) = .24,

The large production of textiles and clothing, followed by the public's consumptive behavior, will increase clothing waste, which will have a detrimental effects on environment. This phenomenon increases individual anxiety about environmental damage (eco-anxiety). The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between the level of eco-anxiety and the intention to purchase eco-friendly clothing products.

The measuring instrument employed is The Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-13) and a green purchase intention measuring instrument that has been translated into Indonesian and applied to the context of clothing. The Pearson correlation analysis shows a significant positive correlation with a small effect between eco-anxiety and the intentions to purchase ecofriendly clothing products, r(260) = .24, p < .01, R2= .058. The results indicated that the greater the level of environmental anxiety, the greater the chance of individuals exhibiting an intentions to purchase ecofriendly clothing products.
