    La comprensión de las relaciones entre el comportamiento proambiental y los recursos psicológi-cos se encuentra en un creciente desarrollo. Este es un estudio descriptivo-correlacional, compara-tivo-transversal realizado con 406 estudiantes, quienes respondieron las escalas de Comportamiento Proambiental y de Bienestar Psicológico, más una ficha sociodemográfica. Los resultados presentan niveles mayores en factores proambientales y niveles medios en factores del bienestar psicológico. Se identifican diferencias significativas entre los factores medidos respecto de la facultad a la que per-tenecen. Existen correlaciones significativas entre los factores del bienestar psicológico y los factores proambientales, con menores magnitudes ante los factores antiambientales. La norma subjetiva y la autonomía son los predictores que mejor contribuyen a la intención del comportamiento proambiental. Se espera que el fortalecimiento de los factores señalados, en conjunto con el dominio del entorno y las creencias proambientales, pueden contribuir a una mayor intención de comportamiento proam-biental; no obstante, se requieren más estudios que evalúen otras variables psicológicas implicadas.

    The understanding of the relationships between proenvironmental behavior and psychological resources is under increasing development. This is a descriptive-correlational, comparative-cross-sectional study carried out with 406 students, who answered the scales of Pro-environmental Behavior and Psychological Well-being, plus a sociodemographic card. The results show higher levels in pro-environmental factors and medium levels in psychological well-being factors. Significant differences are identified between the factors measured with respect to the faculty to which they belong. There are significant correlations between psychological well-being factors and pro-environmental factors, with lower magnitudes for anti-environmental factors. Subjective norm and autonomy are the predictors that best contribute to pro-environmental behavioral intention. It is expected that the strengthening of the noted factors, in conjunction with environmental dominance and pro-environmental beliefs, may contribute to greater pro-environmental behavioral intention; however, further studies assessing other psychological variables involved are required.
