Resumen
Los estudios de revisión de la psicología ambiental en Colombia se han centrado en documentar el campo a partir de los artículos publicados en revistas de psicología por autores que se autoidentifican con el área. Sin embargo, hay pocos estudios sobre los trabajos que se publican en otras áreas de conocimiento sobre este campo. Por esto, el trabajo revisa de manera panorámica —sin distinción de áreas— la producción científica en psicología ambiental con muestras colombianas. Se analizaron un total de 105 documentos recuperados de Scopus. En los resultados se reportan la caracterización bibliométrica y los cuadrantes temáticos por relevancia (nicho: gestión ambiental y planeación urbana; motor: cambio climático, investigación en servicios transformativos, educación ambiental y sostenibilidad; emergentes/declive: confort térmico, arquitectura; básicos: actitudes y comportamiento proambiental, percepción del riesgo). Se destaca el carácter interdisciplinar de las fuentes, los temas, la productividad e impacto de los agentes, diferentes a los reportados en otras revisiones. Por otra parte, hay una baja interacción de los autores y una concentración de las citas a trabajos con liderazgo internacional. Estos hallazgos amplían la perspectiva de la psicología ambiental del país, con investigadores de otras disciplinas que contribuyen a la teoría, métodos e intervención. Se discute que la estructura del campo profesional está motivada por una agenda externalista, interdisciplinar y orientada a la intervención; por lo cual, la consolidación y el registro de esta comunidad académica requiere una mayor apertura de las instituciones formales del campo a profesionales de otras áreas y un intercambio científico dinámico e interdisciplinar.
Studies reviewing environmental psychology in Colombia have focused on documenting the field based on articles published in psychology journals by authors who self-identify with the area. However, there are few studies on the works published in other areas of knowledge about this field. For this reason, the paper reviews in a panoramic way -without distinction of areas- the scientific production in environmental psychology with Colombian samples. A total of 105 documents, retrieved through Scopus, were analyzed. The results report the bibliometric characterization and the thematic quadrants by relevance (niche: environmental management and urban planning; driving force: climate change, research in transformative services, environmental education and sustainability; emerging/declining: thermal comfort, architecture; basic: pro-environmental attitudes and behavior, risk perception). The interdisciplinary nature of the sources, topics, productivity and impact of the agents, different from those reported in other reviews, stands out. On the other hand, there is a low interaction of authors and a concentration of citations to papers with international leadership. These findings broaden the perspective of environmental psychology in the country, with researchers from other disciplines contributing to theory, methods and intervention. It is argued that the structure of the professional field is motivated by an externalist, interdisciplinary and intervention-oriented agenda, therefore, the consolidation and registration of this academic community requires a greater openness of the formal institutions of the field to professionals from other areas and a dynamic and interdisciplinary scientific exchange.
