Resumen

Promover empaques sostenibles en el entorno digital genera una clara fricción estética: las narrativas ecológicas tradicionales ya no bastan para impulsar el engagement dentro de segmentos de alta gama. Esta investigación examina los determinantes visuales que modulan la interacción hacia el eco-lujo en Pinterest, contrastando la “paradoja de la presencia de manos” y el rendimiento de la materialidad premium frente a la estética rústica. Desde la convergencia entre la psicología de la Gestalt, la teoría de la señalización y el antropomorfismo, se analiza la transición desde la pedagogía medioambiental explícita hacia la señalización estética implícita. Metodológicamente, se adopta un enfoque multimétodo que procesa N=11,030 registros de Pinterest, donde el engagement se operacionalizó a partir de las interacciones de los usuarios (reacciones, comentarios y guardados), mediante visión computacional, regresión por mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO), potenciación del gradiente (GBR) y agrupación K-means. Los hallazgos revelan que los modelos no lineales superan a los lineales (R²=0.2025) e identifican las composiciones de naturaleza muerta orientadas al estilo de vida y las paletas de “verdes botánicos” como predictores más robustos de la viralidad. La presencia de manos actúa como detractor crítico del engagement (β=-0.4599; p<0.001), mientras que el segmento Eco-Élite alcanza mayor interacción mediante composiciones abstractas, no infografías educativas. El estudio aporta una taxonomía inédita de eco-personas digitales, proporcionando a los profesionales herramientas prácticas para segmentar consumidores, orientar el diseño de empaques y optimizar las campañas visuales en redes sociales enfocadas en el lujo sostenible.
