Temperature influences mood: evidence from 11 years of Baidu index data in Chinese provincial capitals
The findings suggest that temperature fluctuations have a complex and regionally dependent impact on public mental health. The moderating role of climate characteristics and seasonal patterns underscores the importance of localized climate policies and mental health interventions. This study provides empirical evidence based on objective behavioral data, contributing to climate-related public health strategies and adaptive policy design.
