Abstract(s)
Integrado na monitorização ambiental – aspectos psicossociais –, este estudo tem
como objectivo modificar as atitudes de stress e de mal-estar, de percepção de
risco e percepção de poluição da população circundante a uma ETRS. Para o efeito,
e mediante um programa de estratégias de educação ambiental, desenhou-se uma
investigação quasi-experimental, com pré e pós-teste, grupo experimental (GE) e
grupo de controlo (GC), com início em 2003 e fim em 2007. Para avaliar a eficácia
deste programa, aplicou-se uma medida antes e após a experiência. Esta medida
consistiu numa escala de atitudes com 5 factores: (1) percepções de risco; (2) aceita bilidade/conformismo; (3) credibilidade; (4) reacção à mudança; e (5) negativismo. Os
resultados permitem-nos concluir que a participação num programa de modificação
de atitudes face a uma ETRS diminuiu significativamente as percepções de risco, a
reacção à mudança e o negativismo face à mesma, mas manteve a credibilidade e
diminuiu a aceitabilidade/conformismo.
This study is integrated in an environmental psychosocial research. The principal aim is to modify participants stress attitudes, risk perception and pollution perception toward a solid waste incineration system. For this purpose, we designed a quasi- -experimental research, with pretest and posttest, an experimental and a control group, since 2003 until 2007, when an environmental educational program was applied. The program efficacy was evaluated by a pre and a posttest. This measure consists on an environmental attitude scale with five factors: (1) risk perception; (2) acceptability; (3) credibility; (4) change reaction; and (5) negativism. The results show that the participation on an attitude’s modify program toward a solid waste incineration can improve risk perception, change reaction and negativism, but not the credibility neither the acceptability.
