Resumen La investigación se interesa tanto en variables ecológicas como identitarias (sociales) que participan en el aumento del compromiso ambiental en el cuidado antártico. Dos estudios con habitantes del sur austral de dos ciudades, y otro con una muestra nacional de tres zonas geográficas diferentes (norte, centro y sur) participaron contestando una encuesta autoaplicada. Los instrumentos midieron la percepción de responsabilidad personal en el cuidado antártico en el presente y futuro, la valoración antártica, la identidad regional ecológica antártica y creencias ambientales. Los resultados centrales muestran que la identificación con el territorio antártico resulta importante para determinar la percepción de responsabilidad y compromiso en su cuidado, y que este proceso es mediado por el valor que se le otorga al continente helado. Dicha mediación se observó tanto en la muestra de locales como de nacionales. Se discuten estos resultados en torno a la importancia de considerar variables identitarias al desarrollar modelos orientados al fomento de la actitud proecológica.
The research is interested in both ecological and identity (social) variables involved in increasing environmental commitment to Antarctic care. Two studies with inhabitants of two cities in the extreme south, and another with a national sample from three different geographical areas (north, center and south) participated by answering a self-administered survey. The instruments measured the perception of personal responsibility for Antarctic care in the present and future, Value of Antarctica, Antarctic regional ecological identity, and environmental beliefs. The core results show that identification with the Antarctic territory is important in determining the perception of responsibility and commitment to its care, and that this process is mediated by the value given to the polar continent. This mediation was observed in both the sample of locals and nationals. These results are discussed in relation to the importance of considering identity variables when developing models that aim to promote a pro-ecological attitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
