Many young people report experiencing negative emotional responses to their awareness of climate change and the threats it poses to their future. With that, an increasing number of survey instruments have been developed to examine young people's negative emotional responses to their awareness of climate change. This report describes a protocol for a systematic review that aims to identify, synthesise and critically appraise how negative emotional responses to climate change among young people have been measured in survey research. The research questions addressed in this review are: (1) How has negative emotional responses to climate change been defined and measured among young people? (2) How do survey instruments measuring young people's negative emotional responses to climate change vary in terms of reliability and validity? (3) What factors are associated with negative emotional responses to climate change among young people?
Seven academic databases (CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, and Environment Complete) will be searched to retrieve studies published between 1 January 2006 and 31 March 2022 and published in English. Studies including survey instruments that measure negative emotional responses among young people (aged 10-24 years) will be eligible for inclusion. Targeted journals will be hand-searched. This review will follow Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines for systematic reviews. The methodological quality, in terms of reliability and validity, of the included studies will be assessed using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist for risk of bias of patient-reported outcome measures. To rate the quality of the instruments, we will use a modified Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations technique defined by the COSMIN guidelines.
Ethical approval is not applicable for this study. We will disseminate the findings through publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations.

许多年轻人报告说，他们意识到气候变化及其对未来的威胁，会产生负面情绪反应。随着这种情况的出现，越来越多的调查工具被开发出来，以检验年轻人对气候变化的认识所产生的负面情绪反应。本报告描述了一项系统评价的方案，旨在确定、综合和批判性评价调查研究中年轻人对气候变化的负面情绪反应是如何测量的。本综述提出的研究问题是：（1）年轻人对气候变化的负面情绪反应是如何定义和测量的？（2）测量年轻人对气候变化的负面情绪反应的调查工具在可靠性和有效性方面有何不同？（3）哪些因素与年轻人对气候变化的负面情绪反应有关？
将检索 7 个学术数据库（CINAHL、ERIC、MEDLINE、PsycINFO、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Environment Complete），以获取 2006 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 3 月 31 日期间发表的英文研究。包括测量年轻人（10-24 岁）负面情绪反应的调查工具的研究将符合纳入标准。将对目标期刊进行手工检索。本综述将遵循 2020 年系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南进行系统评价。使用共识基础的健康测量仪器选择标准（COSMIN）清单，对纳入研究的可靠性和有效性进行偏倚风险评估，评估纳入研究的方法学质量。为了评估仪器的质量，我们将使用 COSMIN 指南定义的修改后的推荐、评估、制定和评价技术（Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations，GRADE）进行评分。
本研究不需要伦理批准。我们将通过发表在同行评议的期刊上和演示文稿来传播研究结果。
