SPEECH VERSUS ACTION IN ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR

Abstract

La necesidad de repensar la cultura de consumo de la sociedad actual trajo el interés en investigar la relación entre los hábitos de consumo y la preservación del medio ambiente. Aunque haya valoración de las prácticas sostenibles, la comparación entre cómo esas personas actúan como consumidores y suyas posición ética levantan preguntas. Los consumidores profesan una preocupación por los temas ambientales, pero las investigaciones indican que los hábitos de consumo siguen siendo los viejos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las convergencias y divergencias entre el discurso y la conducta de consumo responsable con el medioambiente desde la perspectiva de las teorías de la acción (Argyris, Putnam & Smith, 1985). La investigación utilizó entrevistas en profundidad y de auto-informe, utilizando un libro de registro, para recopilar de forma cualitativa información acerca de los discursos y comportamientos de consumo ambientalmente responsable de 11 participantes. La recopilación y análisis de datos explorado las dimensiones del comportamiento ambientalmente responsable (Stern, 1999, 2000): dominio personal; dominio comportamental; dominio contextual; habilidades personales; y los hábitos y rutinas. La investigación sugiere que el comportamiento ambientalmente responsable no siempre es coherente con el discurso de la responsabilidad ambiental debido a elementos motivacionales (impotencia, falta de interés, sacrificio, y comodidad) y contextuales (situación financiera, falta de políticas públicas, falta de tiempo, y la cultura).

A necessidade de repensar a cultura de consumo da sociedade contemporânea traz o interesse em investigar como os hábitos de consumo se relacionam com preservação ambiental. Ainda que haja valorização de práticas sustentáveis, a comparação entre a forma como as pessoas atuam como consumidores em relação à postura ética que apresentam levanta questionamentos. Os consumidores professam preocupação com questões ambientais, mas pesquisas indicam que seus hábitos de consumo continuam antigos. Este estudo analisou as convergências e divergências entre o discurso ambientalmente responsável e o comportamento de consumo sob a perspectiva das teorias da ação (Argyris, Putnam, & Smith, 1985). A pesquisa utilizou entrevistas em profundidade e autorrelato, por meio de um diário de bordo, para coletar qualitativamente informações sobre discursos ambientalmente responsáveis e comportamentos de consumo de 11 participantes. A coleta e análise dos dados explorou as dimensões de comportamento ambientalmente responsável (Stern, 1999, 2000): domínio pessoal; domínio comportamental; domínio contextual; capacidades pessoais; e hábitos e rotinas. A pesquisa sugere que o comportamento ambientalmente responsável nem sempre é coerente com o discurso, pela existência de elementos motivacionais (impotência, falta de interesse, sacrifício, comodidade) e contextuais (condição financeira, ausência de políticas públicas, restrições de tempo e cultura).

The need of rethinking the consumption culture in contemporary society brings up the interest in researching how consumption habits are related to environmental preservation. Even though sustainable practices are valuable, the comparison amid how people act as consumers and their assumed ethical stance raises questions. Consumers advocate a concern for environmental issues but research shows that their consumption habits are still old fashioned. This study target the convergence and divergence between environmentally responsible speech and consumption behavior under the perspective of theories of action (Argyris, Putnam & Smith, 1985). Research utilized in-depth interviews and self-reports, using a logbook, to collect information about environmentally responsible discourse and consumption behavior of 11 participants. Data collection and analysis explore dimensions of environmentally responsible behavior (Stern, 1999, 2000): personal domain; behavioral domain; contextual domain; personal capabilities; and habits & routines. Results suggest that environmentally responsible behavior is not always consistent with the discourse due to influence of motivational issues (impotence, lack of interest, sacrifice, and convenience) and contextual issues (financial situation, lack of public policies, time constraints, and culture).
