With climate change increasingly affecting individuals’ day-to-day lives, interest is growing in the personal and household adaptation behaviors that people can engage in. Many of these behaviors focus on actions to protect oneself or one's household in response to immediate hazards rather than ones that may achieve longer-term adaptation goals. We conducted a content analysis of 75 publications identified through a systematic literature review to learn how researchers from a range of disciplines conceptualize adaptive behavior in the context of climate change and what kinds of specific actions they describe. Based on this review, we propose a comprehensive definition of personal and household adaptation behavior that considers its purpose (i.e., preventing harm or gaining benefits), timing (i.e., proactive or reactive), time scale (i.e., short-term or long-term), as well as who acts (i.e., the individual alone or with others) and who is affected by those actions (i.e., the individual, other people, or the environment). We classify specific individual adaptation behaviors into civic engagement, consumption, coping, household protection, learning, lifestyle changes, migration, and self-protection. Research is needed to better understand the personal and societal benefits of adaptation behaviors and how to more equitably support these actions in different contexts.

随着气候变化越来越影响个人的日常生活，人们对人们可以采取的个人和家庭适应行为的兴趣也越来越大。这些行为中的许多行为着眼于保护自身或家庭以应对直接危害的行动，而不是关注可以实现长期适应目标的项目。我们通过系统的文献综述对75篇出版物进行了内容分析，以了解各学科的研究人员如何在气候变化的背景下概念化适应性行为以及它们描述了哪些具体行动。在此审查的基础上，我们提出了个人和家庭适应行为的综合定义，其中应考虑其目的（即，防止伤害或获得利益），时间（即，主动或被动），时间范围（即，短期或长期），以及谁在行动（即，一个人单独或与他人一起行动）以及谁受到这些行动的影响（即，一个人，其他人或环境）。我们将特定的个体适应行为分类为公民参与，消费，应对，家庭保护，学习，生活方式改变，移民和自我保护。需要进行研究以更好地了解适应行为的个人和社会利益，以及如何在不同情况下更公平地支持这些行为。生活方式的改变，迁移和自我保护。需要进行研究以更好地了解适应行为的个人和社会利益，以及如何在不同情况下更公平地支持这些行为。生活方式的改变，迁移和自我保护。需要进行研究以更好地理解适应行为的个人和社会利益，以及如何在不同情况下更公平地支持这些行为。
