Abstract
En la actualidad, la conservación del medio ambiente se ha convertido en una preocupación crucial a nivel global. La adopción de comportamientos proambientales es fundamental para abordar estos desafíos ambientales. Para comprender y promover dichos comportamientos, es necesario analizar las variables psicológicas que influyen en ellos.
En este contexto, el objetivo del presente estudio es diferenciar teórica y empíricamente la metapercepción de otros constructos afines, como la norma social y la norma subjetiva, en relación a la conservación del agua en población general. La metapercepción se refiere a la percepción que una persona tiene de cómo los demás perciben su comportamiento respecto al cuidado del medio ambiente.
Para lograr este objetivo, se llevó a cabo un estudio con una muestra de 231 personas (68.8% mujeres y 27.3% hombres) con una media de edad de 36.73 años. Los participantes cumplimentaron un cuestionario online que medía metapercepción, norma social, norma subjetiva, actitud, control conductual percibido, intención conductual y comportamiento. Los resultados muestran que la metapercepción es un término diferente de la norma social y la norma subjetiva, confirmando lo encontrado en la literatura científica. A la hora de analizar la capacidad explicativa, las variables control conductual, norma subjetiva, identidad y metapercepción resultaron ser predictores significativos de la intención, y la identidad predictor significativo del comportamiento. Además, los datos indican que la metapercepción podría estar actuando como antecedente de la identidad al explicar la conducta proambiental
Currently, environmental conservation has become a crucial global concern. The adoption of pro-environmental behaviours is fundamental to address these environmental challenges. To understand and promote such behaviours, it is necessary to analyse the psychological variables that influence them. In this context, the aim of this study is to theoretically and empirically differentiate metaperception from other related constructs, such as social norm and subjective norm, in relation to water conservation in the general population. Metaperception refers to a person's perception of how others perceive his or her behaviour with regard to environmental care. To achieve this aim, a study was conducted with a sample of 231 people (68.8% female and 27.3% male) with a mean age of 36.73 years. Participants completed an online questionnaire measuring metaperception, social norm, subjective norm, attitude, behavioural control, behavioural intention and behaviour. The results show that metaperception is a different term from social norm and subjective norm, confirming findings in the scientific literature. When analysing explanatory power, the variables perceived behavioural control, subjective norm, identity and metaperception were found to be significant predictors of intention, and identity as a significant predictor of behaviour. Furthermore, the data indicate that metaperception could be acting as an antecedent of identity in explaining pro-environmental behaviour
