Resumen (es)

Esta investigación surge de la necesidad de encontrar nuevos hábitos de consumo sustentable y está enfocada en la identificación de los factores psicológicos asociados al uso habitual de la bicicleta como un transporte sostenible. Se evaluaron varios grupos de variables en estudiantes universitarios (N = 492). Se consultaron los tres predictores de la Teoría de Acción Planeada, algunas características sociodemográficas y los hábitos de transporte. Mediante una taxonomía de modelos lineales se integraron y analizaron estas variables. Los resultados señalan que las personas de mayor edad, mayor actitud y mayor control comportamental percibido son la mejor caracterización significativa que se puede tener de los estudiantes biciusuarios. También se encuentra que el control comportamental percibido es el correlato más fuerte con el uso de la bicicleta. Se discuten las implicaciones para campañas dirigidas a la promoción del uso de la bicicleta en los estudiantes universitarios.

Resumen (en)

This research arises from the need to find new habits of sustainable consumption, and it is focused on the identification of psychological factors associated with the regular use of the bicycle as a sustainable transportation. Several groups of variables were evaluated in 492 undergraduate students. The three predictors of the Theory of Planned Behavior, some sociodemographic characteristics, and transportation habits were consulted. Through a taxonomy of linear models, these variables were integrated and analyzed. Results indicate that older people, greater attitude, and greater perceived behavioral control are the best significant characterization that can be achieved of bike-user students. We found perceived behavioral control is the strongest correlation with the use of bicycles. Implications for campaigns aimed at promoting the use of bicycles in students are discussed.
