Abstract(s)
As alterações climáticas são consideradas atualmente como uma das maiores
emergências que o planeta Terra enfrenta. Foi com esta preocupação em mente que
surgiu o foco de estudo da presente dissertação, na tentativa de promover um melhor
entendimento da motivação individual relativamente ao comportamento pró-ambiental
e, possivelmente, da intervenção existente especifica na área da Psicologia.
Desta forma, o estudo focou-se em observar a relação entre três variáveis do
campo motivacional, a autodeterminação e a perspetiva temporal de futuro como
preditoras do comportamento pró-ambiental, onde o principal objetivo do estudo foi o
de observar correlações positivas entre variáveis de motivação intrínseca e da perspetiva
temporal de futuro com variáveis do comportamento pró-ambiental.
Para tal, foi elaborado um protocolo para a recolha de dados online, entre Janeiro
e Abril de 2020, composto pelos três instrumentos de resposta correspondentes: Escala
da Autodeterminação, o Inventário de Perspetiva Temporal de Futuro (IPT) e a escala de
avaliação do Comportamento Pró-ambiental.
Em geral, comprovando a literatura já existente e considerando apenas as três
variáveis principais, conseguimos observar uma correlação positiva entre a
autodeterminação e o comportamento pró-ambiental. Por outro lado, não se observou a
mesma correlação positiva entre a perspetiva temporal de futuro e o comportamento
pró-ambiental.
Climate Change is considered, in the present days, as one of the biggest emergencies the planet Earth have been facing. The feeling of urgency towards this topic was the trigger to the present study while trying to promote a better understanding of the individual motivation connected with their pro-environmental behavior and possibly to a better understanding of specific intervention methods in Psychology field. Considering the stated, the present work focused on observing the relation between two variables of the motivational field, self-determination and future time perspective as predictors of the pro-environmental behavior, where the main goal was to observe positive correlations between self-determination variables and future time perspective with variables from pro-environmental behavior. To do so, a protocol for an online collection of the data was made. The collection occurred between January and April of 2020 and the protocol consisted of three instruments: Scale for Self-determination, Inventory of Future Time Perspective and a scale for the evaluation of pro-environmental behavior. In the end, together with the results observed in previous investigations and the correlations observed in the main variables, we were able to recognize a positive correlation between self-determination and pro-environmental behavior. On the other hand, it was not observed in our results a positive correlation between future time perspective and pro-environmental behavior.
