HIGUCHI, Maria Ines Gasparetto  y  CUNHA, Daniele da Costa. Práticas de envolvimento socioambiental com moradores do entorno de uma reserva florestal em Manaus-AM. Psicol. Am. Lat. [online]. 2008, n.13. ISSN 1870-350X.

This work discuss the motivations and the distinct interactive processes among members of adults residents near to a Forest Reserve in Manaus-AM. This study based on participative research was developed through multiples living processes constructed by the group during two years. In addition of the specific intersubjectivity and sociability of the members, it was observed a peculiar temporality of social interaction in the group trajectory. The different chronology of the social mobilization of the group demanded different strategies for concrete actions, in the same way that the collective actions for socio-environmental care were associated to living experiences in a day-to-day basis among them, inside and outside the group. The members were only fully involved when the activities could strength their social recognition.
