Gender inequality and cultural values in explaining gender differences in positive and negative emotions
The coronavirus pandemic posed a major challenge to mental health. Existing evidence shows that COVID-19 is related to poor emotional well-being, particularly among women. However, most work on the subject uses single-country samples, limiting the ability to generalize the disparity or explain it as a function of societal variables. The present study investigates the expression of positive and negative emotions during the pandemic as a function o…
Acciones colectivas de protesta de trabajadoras sexuales
Los estudios sobre las acciones colectivas de las trabajadoras sexuales se han centrado principalmente en la esfera pública, abordando procesos de organización sindical, movimientos sociales y articulación de redes para la reivindicación de sus derechos. Sin embargo, han prestado escasa atención a las acciones que les permiten sobrellevar los agravios en su contexto laboral. Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender las acciones colectivas coti…
People don't change. Are you sure? Deradicalization of opinion among young people
Since the Chilean social outburst in 2019, the country has experienced a process of political polarization and radicalization. The social support and participation in violent, disruptive, and radical protests rapidly increased, particularly among young individuals. However, in 2022, a rapid deradicalization process took place and ended with the constitutional proposal derived from the social outburst being rejected. Nowadays, national surveys rev…
The Precarity of Progress
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic saw a shift toward a more traditional division of labor–one where women took greater responsibility for household tasks and childcare than men. We tested whether this regressive shift was more acutely perceived and experienced by women in countries with greater gender equality. Cross-cultural longitudinal survey data for women and men ( N = 10,238) was collected weekly during the first few months of the pandemic…
La identidad social como mediadora entre las emociones y la participación en acciones colectivas
This article explores the mediating role of social identity in the relationship between emotions—both positive and negative—and participation in collective action. The study sample included university students from Peru (N = 599; M = 24.5 years) and Chile (N = 592; M = 22.2 years). A structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that, in both countries, social identity mediated the relationship betw…
Intentions to be Vaccinated Against Covid-19
Understanding the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is important to inform policy decisions and plan vaccination campaigns. The aims of this research were to: (1) explore the individual- and country-level determinants of intentions to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, and (2) examine worldwide variation in vaccination intentions. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted during the first wave of the pandemic, involving 6697 responden…
Protestando en la cuna del neoliberalismo. Factores explicativos macrosociales del movimiento estudiantil universitario chileno en la postdictadura (1990- 2019)
El reciente auge de la protesta social en América Latina ha tensionado las tesis que auguraron que las reformas neoliberales debilitarían el rol de los movimientos sociales. El movimiento estudiantil chileno es paradigmático en este sentido, tanto por su masividad como por surgir en uno de los países de mayor consolidación del neoliberalismo. Utilizando una base de datos que compila las protestas universitarias registradas durante 30 años (1990-2…
Normative and non-normative collective action facing repression in a democratic context
This work addresses collective action in the context of a social movement facing police repression in a democratic country. The movement studied was carried out in a region of southern Chile, had a very high citizen participation and deployed normative and non-normative actions. We aim to understand why people decided to participate and how they came to consider violent action as a legitimate option. We use a mixed methods approach. In a quantita…
Identifying important individual‐ and country‐level predictors of conspiracy theorizing
Psychological research on the predictors of conspiracy theorizing—explaining important social and political events or circumstances as secret plots by malevolent groups—has flourished in recent years. However, research has typically examined only a small number of predictors in one, or a small number of, national contexts. Such approaches make it difficult to examine the relative importance of predictors, and risk overlooking some potentially rel…
Lockdown Lives
We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences of loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March and May 2020. The results demonstrated that although online contacts help to reduce feelings of loneliness, people who feel more lonely are less likely to use that strategy. Solidarity played only a small role in s…
Why do people engage in violent tactics during a protest campaign? Understanding radical activist through regionalist mobilizations in Chile
Objective This article seeks to better understand the differences between radical and moderate activists who come from the same mobilization process. Methods Using an original survey data of participants in a regionalist movement in Chile, we employed latent class analysis on 15 different tactics. We found support for a radical, a moderate, and a non‐activist profile. Next, we applied multinomial logistic regression models to explain differences …
Modelling the mediating effect of multiple emotions in a cycle of territorial protests
Nowadays it is customary to incorporate emotions as explanatory variables of protest participation, since \nnumerous studies have provided evidence for their relevance. However, the incorporation of emotions in \nquantitative research continues to emphasise the effect of a limited set of emotions (normally one or two \nwith negative valence, such as anger or contempt) that are modelled as mediators between nonemotional \nmotives and participation…
We are all in the same boat’
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global health crisis. Consequently, many countries have adopted restrictive measures that caused a substantial change in society. Within this framework, it is reasonable to suppose that a sentiment of societal discontent, defined as generalized concern about the precarious state of society, has arisen. Literature shows that collectively experienced situations can motivate people to hel…
Technological and analytical advancements in intergroup contact research
The prolific expansion of intergroup contact research has established that intergroup interactions are tightly linked to social integration. In this review, recent technological and statistical innovations with the potential to advance this body of research are presented. First, concerns over the validity of longitudinal models are discussed before innovative analytical techniques are introduced that explore change over time. Next, intensive repe…

Attributions about homelessness in homeless and domiciled people in Madrid, Spain
Causal attributions of homelessness may affect both the design and acceptance of public policies aimed at improving the situation of homeless people and the strategies that homeless people themselves decide to adopt in order to cope with their situation. This article analyzes the differences in causal attributions of homelessness based on gender, age, nationality, educational background, perceived social class, evolution of personal economic situ…

Content and Uniformity of Stereotypes and Meta‐stereotypes of Homeless People in Madrid (Spain)

The research took place in Madrid (Spain), based on data provided by a representative sample of homeless people (n = 188) and a sample of people at no risk of becoming homeless (n = 180). Results show that stereotypes of homeless people and homeless people's meta‐stereotypes predomina…

The domiciled se…
