          Abstract

          Una revisión de la literatura relevante muestra que el interés de la mayor parte de los psicólogos ambientales se centra en el estudio de los eventos antecedentes (variables disposicionales históricas y situacionales) que promueven la conducta sustentable. Esta conducta se define como un conjunto de acciones encaminadas a la conservación de los recursos naturales y socio-culturales del planeta, las que permiten el bienestar de las presentes y futuras generaciones. A pesar de que múltiples esquemas teóricos en psicología -especialmente el conductista- reconocen la importancia de las variables consecuentes (repercusiones) positivas en el mantenimiento e incremento de la conducta sustentable, se detecta actualmente poco interés en su estudio, especialmente en lo referente al rol que juegan las consecuencias intrínsecas de esa conducta. Dado que un buen número de esas consecuencias se ha descrito recientemente en reportes de investigación, el presente escrito discute de qué manera esas repercusiones positivas pueden promover el desarrollo de estilos de vida sustentable y cómo podrían conectarse los eventos antecedentes con los consecuentes, de manera que la probabilidad de generar comportamientos pro-ambientales y pro-sociales sea mayor en los ciudadanos. El escrito revisa también una posible alternativa para conectar la conducta proambiental individual con la práctica cultural de acciones sustentables.

          Translated abstract

          A review of the pertinent literature shows that the interest of most environmental psychologists focuses on studying the antecedent events (i.e., historical-and-situational dispositional variables) that promote sustainable behavior. This behavior is defined as the set of actions aimed at conserving the Earth's natural and socio-cultural resources, so that the wellbeing of present and future generations can be guaranteed. Although several psychological frameworks -eminently the behaviorist- acknowledge the importance of the positive consequent variables (i.e., positive repercussions) on the display and maintenance of sustainable behavior, a limited interest in their study is detected, especially in regard to the role played by intrinsic consequences. Since a number of those consequences have been recently reported in research reports, this paper discusses how the positive repercussions might promote the display of sustainable lifestyles and how the antecedent events could be connected with the consequent ones, so that a higher likelihood of generating pro-environmental and pro-social behaviors among citizens may be achieved. The paper also reviews a possible way of connecting individual proenvironmental behavior with the cultural practice of sustainable actions.
