    El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la percepción de los profesionales de la Economía y la Psicología acerca de la responsabilidad social en las actividades bancarias.

    La información utilizada proviene de una encuesta realizada a tal fin, habiéndose utilizado tanto las técnicas estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales para presentar y analizar los datos, respectivamente. Los resultados indican que la mayor parte de los participantes en ambos grupos (Psicología y Economía) no perciben que las actividades bancarias sean esenciales para el desarrollo económico y social de Puerto Rico. La mayoría está de acuerdo en que las instituciones financieras de carácter cooperativo superan a los bancos en lo que a la provisión de fuentes de financiación se refiere.

Most participants agree that financial cooperative institutions are better than banks in terms of providing access to sources of finance
