Resumen
Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo fue construir y validar una escala de actitudes hacia el medio ambiente natural en adolescentes españoles. Se generaron 72 ítems a partir de los escritos de 264 adolescentes sobre actitudes hacia el medio ambiente. A través del juicio de expertos y de un estudio piloto se efectuó́ una depuración reduciendo la escala a 9 ítems que se administraron a una muestra de 833 adolescentes de ambos sexos. Mediante un análisis factorial exploratorio, se identificaron dos dimensiones, actitud proximal y actitud distal, que fueron replicadas a través de un análisis confirmatorio cuyos resultados mostraron un buen ajuste a los datos. Los índices de fiabilidad fueron adecuados y respecto de la validez se obtuvieron relaciones significativas con la empatía con el medio ambiente natural en sus dos dimensiones, cognitiva y emocional, y el ajuste escolar. También se obtuvieron diferencias significativas en función del género en la actitud distal, pero no en la actitud proximal. Se analizan los resultados obtenidos y se subraya la importancia de esta escala en la investigación ambiental en la adolescencia.
