Zusammenfassung:Sustainable development is based on three pillars: environment preservation, cost-effective production and human development. Within this context, emerges Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a solid methodology for assessing the impact of products and services. Whereas Social LCA (S-LCA) is an early-stage approach, currently under development, requiring theoretical and methodological improvements. This study aimed at mapping the main gaps in S-LCA to identify potential contributions from the Psychology field. A preliminary literature review indicated several constraints: consensus between social indicators; methods for measuring subjective data; predominance of secondary data; underutilization of the Social Sciences, etc. Therefore, this study outlines multiples intersection points where the Social Sciences, more specifically, psychology could contribute to filling some of the theoretical and methodological gaps in S-LCA. KEYWORDS: social life cycle assessment, social impact, sustainable development, labour psychology, transdisciplinarity O desenvolvimento sustentavel ocorre por tres pilares: preservacao do meio-ambiente, producao com custo economico eficiente e desenvolvimento humano. Nesse contexto surge a Avaliacao do Ciclo de Vida (ACV), que determina metodos para avaliacao de impacto de produtos e servicos. A ACV Social (ACV-S) e uma abordagem em desenvolvimento, requerendo avancos a plena aplicacao. Este estudo objetivou mapear as principais lacunas teorico-metodologicas da ACV-S para a identificacao convergencias com a psicologia. A revisao da literatura indicou diferentes lacunas: consenso entre indicadores sociais; metodos para mensuracao de dados subjetivos; primazia de dados secundarios; subemprego das Ciencias Sociais etc. Assim, este estudo apontou pontos de intersecao onde as Ciencias Sociais, especificamente, a Psicologia podera contribuir para preencher algumas das lacunas teorico-metodologicas da ACV-S. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: avaliacao social do ciclo de vida, impacto social, desenvolvimento sustentavel, psicologia do trabalho, transdisciplinaridade
