Resumen

Se presenta un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que relaciona las actitudes ambientales (ACA), las intenciones de comportamiento proambiental (ICA) y el comportamiento proambiental (CPP) en estudiantes de ingeniería e ingenieros activos. Las variables se relacionan mediante tres hipótesis que son validadas estadísticamente con información obtenida de 873 estudiantes y 573 ingenieros mediante un cuestionario, y se usa la técnica de mínimos cuadrados parciales. Los resultados indican que hay una diferencia en la relación entre las variables de las ICA y el CPP, siendo estas más altas en los ingenieros activos que en los estudiantes. Se pudo demostrar una relación directa y positiva entre las ACA y CPP, así como entre las ACA y las ICA, las cuales son estadísticamente iguales.
