Resumen
En el actual contexto de crisis ambiental se instala la necesidad de discutir el modelo de sociedad, repensando el lugar del ciudadano en la construcción de un entorno sustentable. La Psicología Ambiental provee de marcos teóricos y herramientas metodológicas que permiten abordar, describir y explicar las relaciones que las personas y los grupos establecen con su entorno (Pol, Valera & Vidal, 1999). En el marco de este campo disciplinar, el presente trabajo apuntó a analizar los aspectos psicométricos de validez y consistencia interna de la Escala de Actitudes ecocéntricas y antropocéntricas, adaptada al español por González y Amérigo (1999). A tales fines, se trabajó con una muestra no aleatoria de 300 adultos de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Se llevó adelante un análisis factorial exploratorio y luego un análisis factorial confirmatorio, y se calculó el coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. En función de los resultados obtenidos, se discute la utilidad de estas medidas en el contexto local.
In the current context of environmental crisis we identify the need to discuss the model of society, rethinking the citizen´s role in the construction of a sustainable environment. Environmental Psychology provides theoretical and methodologial tools that allows to describe and to make clear the relations that the people and the groups establish with their environment. Within this disciplinary frame, the present research aimed to analyze the psychometric aspects of validity and internal consistency of the Ecocentric and Anthropocentric Environmental Attitudes Scale, adapted to Spanish language by González and Amérigo (1999). In order to achieve this goal we worked with a not random sample of 300 adults of the city of Cordoba, Argentina. We carried out an exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) and then, with a different sample of 401 participants, a confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). To obtain evidence of the Scale's internal consistency we estimated the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. In the EFA we obtained evidence of a bidimensional structure, then confirmed by the CFA. These results support previous research on the bidimensional structure of environmental attitudes. Both factors showed appropriate values of internal consistency. These results denote that this version of the instrument has suitable psychometric properties and it is a valid tool for the research of environmental attitudes in the context of Cordoba / Argentina.
