    This study applies the “psychometric paradigm” of risk perception to the heavy mineral spill in the Sonora River (Mexico). A total of 241 inhabitants of the polluted area with a mean age of 46.3 years participated in the study, completing an interview questionnaire at the onset of the disaster. The results allow us to establish a profile of the 18 characteristics comprising the model and a multiple regression analysis shows that some characteristics of the dimensions of dread risk and unknown risk explain a percentage of the magnitude of the perceived risk. In addition, the behaviors recommended by the authorities were classified by the participants according to their estimated usefulness. Significant differences were observed. Avoiding contact with the water was considered the most effective, followed by recommendations on the use of the water, with actions related to the environment and how to avoid pollution being considered the least effective. In sum, the strategy deployed allows us to observe how the victims perceive the disaster and organize the behaviors proposed by the authorities

    En este estudio probamos, mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, los efectos del Flow Psicológico en las acciones de cuidado del ambiente, la Gratitud hacia acciones de ahorro de agua, la Orientación al Futuro, la Hedonia y la Eudaimonia sobre una medida de autoinforme de ahorro de agua. Analizamos las respuestas obtenidas de una muestra intencional de 460 participantes provenientes de dos ciudades mexicanas (221 varones y 239 mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre 15 a 66 años (M= 34.5 años; DE= 13.40 años). El modelo exhibió bondad de ajuste y logró explicar un 30% de la varianza en la conducta de ahorro de agua. Tender al futuro y experimentar gratitud ante acciones de cuidado del agua promueven el ahorro de este recurso, mientras que la Hedonia disminuye la práctica de dicha conducta.In this study, we tested, through a structural equation model the effects of Psychological Flow on environmentally-protective behaviors, as well as the influence of Gratitude toward water conservation actions, Future orientation, Hedonia and Eudaimonia on a self-reported measure of water conservation behavior. We analysed the responses of a purposive sample of 460 participants from two Mexican cities (221 men and 239 women), aged between 15 - 66 years (M = 34.5 years; SD = 13.40 years). The model showed goodness of fit, explaining 30% variance of water conservation behavior. Being future oriented and experiencing gratitude towards water conservation actions promote the protection of this resource, while Hedonia decreases this conservationist practice

    PSYCHOLOGICAL MEANINGS OF “POSITIVE SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT” AND “PLACES TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD”

    The spaces that surround and sustain daily life significantly influence people’s way of thinking, feeling and behaving. They also reflect personal and meaningful aspects of their lives. This study was aimed at investigating conceptions regarding spiritual environments and characteristics of places wherein individuals communicate with God or a “higher power”, seeking to find empirical support to the idea of positive spiritual environments (spiritual contexts that, simultaneously, promote human wellbeing and environmental conservation). Ninety-one undergraduate students participated in the study. The network of spiritual environment generated a network size of 137 words with a core of 28 words. The highest semantic weights were produced by peace, God, tranquility, love, faith, church, pray, harmony, beliefs, wellbeing, happiness, and relaxation. Characteristics of the place wherein people communicate with God produced a network size of 104 words and a core of 27 words. The most important of those words were: church, home, calm, room, quiet, school, sacred, natural, alone, street, prayer, and clean. Few words communicating concern for environmentally conservation behaviors were found within the network

    Las virtudes de la humanidad, justicia y moderación y su relación con la conducta sustentable

    Get PDF
    Basado en la idea de que la conducta sustentable es un tipo de comportamiento virtuoso, el presente estudio explora la relación entre tres virtudes universales - Humanidad, Justicia, Moderación - y cuatro instancias de conducta sustentable - acciones altruistas, pro-ecológicas, frugales y equitativas - las cuales se consideran necesarias para alcanzar los ideales de un desarrollo sostenible. Se investigaron las respuestas que dieron cuatrocientas personas de la población general, en una ciudad del noroeste mexicano, a reactivos del Inventario de Virtudes y Fortalezas Psicológicas (VIA Survey, Peterson & Seligman, 2004) y a un instrumento que investigaba conductas sustentables. Los resultados se procesaron dentro de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, el cual produjo factores de primer orden para las tres virtudes y los cuatro tipos de comportamiento sustentables. A su vez, el grupo de virtudes generó un factor de segundo orden (virtudes) y eso mismo ocurrió para el de conductas sustentables (CS). La covariación entre el factor superior de virtudes y el de CS fue alta y significativa lo que parece indicar que las conductas prosociales y proambientales son de naturaleza virtuosa, por lo menos en lo concerniente a las tres virtudes aquí analizadas.

    School environment as a mediating variable between family support and social wellbeing in high school students

    Get PDF
    Educational institutions are crucial environments to promote students’ wellbeing. This introduces major challenges into the processes of executing and evaluating programmes such as the ones focused on achieving bullying-free schools. The concept of social wellbeing that is used throughout the present paper is associated to the subjective sense of action in the social construction and understanding of reality. The primary objective was to examine the relationship between Family Support (FS) and Social Wellbeing (SW) of high school education students in the state of Sonora, Mexico, as well as the effect of potential mediation of the School Environment (SE). This research was carried out with a cross-sectional sample of 265 teenagers (average age = 16 years old, SD=1.35), who responded to a self-report scale developed for this research study. The structural model has shown a high predictive power of SE as a mediating variable between FS and SW. Furthermore, both immediate contexts of students, i.e. family and school, were found to be relevant to their emotions and SW, which translates into a lower probability of being a victim of bullying. Therefore, we discuss a concept of SW seen from a perspective related to emotions, where material, economic, and/or monetary factors are not a priority.peer-reviewe
