bajos ingresos, comportamiento proambiental, autoeficacia

Resumen

Introducción: La pobreza y los problemas ambientales son dos preocupaciones principales que enfrenta la humanidad en su búsqueda de una mejor calidad de vida.

Objetivo: Relacionar estos dos temas al revisar la literatura sobre personas de bajos ingresos y su comportamiento pro ambiental desde una perspectiva psicológica y de gestión ambiental.

Métodos: En la búsqueda de los artículos que se iban a revisar se tuvieron en cuenta tres criterios principales: 1. los artículos están relacionados con un cierto tipo de comportamiento pro ambiental en un contexto específico y tienen un enfoque de gestión ambiental; 2. las personas de bajos ingresos son el foco central de la investigación, no solo otro aspecto sociodemográfico; 3. los artículos se basan en una de las dos principales teorías psicológicas aplicadas a la gestión ambiental y el comportamiento pro ambiental, la teoría cognitiva social y la teoría del comportamiento planificado.

Resultados: Los once artículos analizados comparten la conclusión de que los factores psicológicos, especialmente la autoeficacia, contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de las posibilidades e impedimentos para que las personas de bajos ingresos practiquen un comportamiento pro ambiental.

Conclusión: Los artículos van más allá del análisis relacionado con los ingresos, que socava la problemática de un problema de dinero. Ellos, contribuyen significativamente a la mejora de las políticas que pueden incluir a las personas de bajos ingresos en el esfuerzo por preservar la naturaleza.
