• Resumen

  • El propósito de este estudio es analizar y comparar las distintas respuestas individuales, psicosociales y psico- ambientales de personas mayores que residen en diferentes entornos. El marco conceptual de referencia es el Modelo de Complementariedad-Congruencia entre la persona y su entorno (Carp y Carp, 1984), que examina los cambios importantes en la relación entre una persona y su entorno a lo largo de su vida, prestando especial atención a los procesos de envejecimiento. Los participantes (N = 201 de más de 65 años, procedentes de entornos urbanos y rurales) rellenaron un cuestionario que evaluaba una serie de medidas. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las personas mayores de procedencia rural y las de procedencia urbana en bienestar psicológico, entorno social, identidad colectiva, y actitudes hacia el traslado. La dimensión psicosocial y la psicoambiental ejercen mayor influencia que la dimensión individual y la intrapersonal sobre las actitudes hacia los traslados por períodos cortos y largos. En concreto, una mayor competencia ambiental, un menor apego al lugar y un entorno social más pobre se asocian con actitudes hacia el traslado, tanto por períodos largos como por períodos cortos. Por último, la competencia ambiental resultó ser el antecedente más importante del bienestar psicológico
