Abstract
To determine the characteristics of scientific productivity generated within the field of environmental psychology in Mexico, a bibliometric analysis of 143 documents produced in the area from 1960 to 1996 was carried out. The results show a pronounced tendency to generate theoretical-descriptive work and to use adults as study groups. It is argued that it is necessary to develop more research in the area, taking into account more vulnerable groups like the elderly and children. Actions taken and aimed at the strengthening of a communication network for Iberian and Latin American specialists are also described. Finally, emphasis is placed on the convenience of continuing to generate bibliometric, informetric, and scientiometric research showing research trends in environmental psychology.
