Coupling Research on Urban Green Financial Network Environmental Governance Performance and Public Mental Health Perception
Dongxia LiAbstract
Objective
Worsening urban ecological problems bring long-term environmental psychological pressure to residents, trigger anxious mental states and hidden psychological anxiety, and negatively affect public mental health. This paper explores the coupling relationship between urban green financial network environmental governance performance and public psychological perception. It aims to clarify how environmental governance optimizes public mental states, ease ecological psychological pressure and improve residents’ overall mental health.
Subjects and Methods
This study selects residents of typical Chinese pilot cities for green finance as research subjects. It adopts coupling coordination degree model, questionnaire survey and spatial correlation analysis. It collects data on urban environmental governance performance, public ecological psychological pressure, real-time mental states and mental health satisfaction, and analyzes the interactive coupling mechanism between objective governance effects and subjective public psychology.
Results
The improvement of green financial environmental governance performance significantly reduces residents’ environmental psychological pressure, alleviates negative mental states caused by ecological concerns, and effectively boosts public mental health. Meanwhile, positive public psychological perception can further promote public participation in environmental protection and lift the overall efficiency of urban green governance.
Conclusions
There exists obvious dynamic coupling between green financial governance performance and public psychological perception. Optimizing urban green financial network construction can continuously relieve residents’ ecological psychological pressure, stabilize positive mental states, protect public mental health, and realize the coordinated development of urban ecological governance and public psychological well-being.
