Os problemas ambientais gerados pelo comportamento humano são antigos, mas certamente se agravaram com o avanço tecnológico, de modo que a preocupação com o destino do nosso planeta é também uma preocupação com as relações que as pessoas estabelecem com o ambiente. A psicologia ambiental busca construir modelos explicativos para tal interação, considerando a influência recíproca entre as pessoas e o ambiente. Entre outras contribuições à psicologia ambiental, a teoria das representações sociais tem se mostrado de grande valor para a compreensão desta complexa relação. No campo ambiental a teoria das representações sociais tem assumido um valor incontestável na busca da compreensão das dinâmicas sociais, pois permite conhecer os processos cognitivos e simbólicos que norteiam as práticas direcionadas ao mundo que nos cerca. Esse estudo teórico busca colocar em pauta as contribuições que a teoria das representações sociais pode trazer a compreensão da relação entre pessoa e ambiente.<br>The environmental problems generated by the human behavior are old, but they are aggravated with the technological advance, in way the concern with the destination of our planet is also a concern with the relations the people establish with the environment. Environmental psychology inquires to construct clarifying models for such interaction, considering the reciprocal influence between the person and the environment. Among others contributions to environmental psychology, the social representations' theory has shown of great value for the understanding this complex relation. In the environmental field the social representations' theory has an undisputed value in the search of the social dynamic's understanding. It allows knowing cognitive and symbolic processes that guide the practical ones directed to the world around us. This theoretical study inquires to place in guideline the contributions that the social representations' theory can bring the understanding the relation between person and environment.Date

Sociodemografic and psychological characteristics of voters for SNSD and SDP BiH: Two faces of social democracy in Bosnia & HerzegovinaPuhalo Srđan (Društvo psihologa Srbije, 2008-01-01)There are two social democratic parties in Bosnia Herzegovina: SNSD and SDP BiH. These two parties differ regarding their origin and their political activity in Bosnia Herzegovina. Thus, it was assumed that voters of the two parties differ regarding their national composition, socio-demographic characteristics and political attitudes. In May of 2007 a face to face interview was conducted with 260 voters of SNSD and 147 voters of SDP BiH. SNSD’s voters were found to be less tolerant, less liberal and more prone to nationalism and the feeling of ethical superiority relative to voters of SDP BiH. As a matter of fact, SNSD’s voters were more similar to voters of some nationalistic political parties like SDS then to voters of SDP BiH. The observed differences between political attitudes of SNSD and SDP BiH voters was explained by increasing ethnic tensions in Bosnia Herzegovina in Spring of 2007 and by their essential dissimilarity: SNSD’s primary objective is Republika Srpska and its survival, while SDP BiH insist on unity of Bosnia Herzegovina.
