Resumen

La Conectividad con la Naturaleza (CNS) y la Identidad Ambiental (EID) se han propuesto para la incorporación del ambiente natural en el sí mismo (self), sin embargo, no hay información concluyente de su papel como predictores del Comportamiento Proambiental (CPA). Se analizan las respuestas de 306 estudiantes universitarios a un cuestionario compuesto por ambas escalas y una de Intención de Comportamiento Proambiental. Para reducir el efecto de la deseabilidad social, se formularon además preguntas orientadas a medir el compromiso de los participantes con actividades informativas y de conservación ambiental, cuyas respuestas permitieron elaborar un Indicador de Compromiso Proambiental (ICP). Los resultados muestran que subyacen tres factores al CPA, que se corresponden con conductas Ecologista, Urbana y Campista. Se observa una relación estrecha entre la conducta Ecologista y las demás medidas. Se discute la contribución de la CNS y EID al estudio del CPA.
