MATTOS, Cristiane Passos de; IRVING, Marta de Azevedo; DE MELO, Gustavo Mendes  and  OLIVEIRA, Elizabeth. Psychosociology and Tourism: Uncovering Investigative Interconnections. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2021, vol.16, n.1, pp. 1-19. ISSN 1809-8908.

Psychosociology is an interdisciplinary field, focused on the investigation of social interaction. This interaction also characterizes the main aspect of tourism, which is understood as a contemporary social phenomenon. Considering Psychosociology as a possibility of interpretative lens for the decoding of this phenomenon, it seeks to analyse the extent to which tourism has been approached in scientific production in this field. The methodology involved a survey and a systematization of academic production, in this interface, in the Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Two themes predominate in the specialized literature: gastronomy, in its various interpretative nuances, and theoretical and methodological aspects involved in the study of tourism. Moreover, the production of knowledge about tourism from a psychosociological perspective, incipient in the Brazilian context, is based on dynamics of exchange and interaction between tourists and the resident population research, thus representing a fertile path for academic research.

Keywords : Psychosociology; Tourism; Literature review.
