Abstract
In this paper we contribute to specify the construct «involvement», including the following aspects:
a) knowledge of its origin and the several theoretical frames to approach it;
b) elimination of potential confusion over other constructs (such as that between involvement and motivation);
c) knowledge of the determinants,
dimensions and consequences of the construct involvement;
d) knowledge of the debate dealing with its conceptualization and the possible joint of different points of view.
