Resumen
DE ALMEIDA LIMA, Nathália Ronfini y N. CAMPOS, Milton. Between Media Programming and Selflessness: Environment in Youth Network Communities. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.1, pp.37-53. Epub 01-Ene-2020. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.4846.
This article presents a hybrid case study (qualitative and quantitative) on what young people (18 to 24-year-old) in the low income psychosocial context of the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, Brazil, think about the environment and express themselves with regard to this topic on Facebook. An integrated theoretical framework weaving the Ecology of Meanings theory and sustainability criteria was adopted. We sought to understand the youths’ feelings, perceptions and judgment about the environment through semi-structured interviews and Facebook postings. Results suggest that although youngsters do have an interest on ecology, postings about it are limited, content created by them is not disseminated, and friends from Facebook communities have little interest in the subject.
