Gendered Profiles of Classism Toward People in Poverty: Hostile and Paternalistic Manifestations
Ambivalent classist representations shape support for poverty eradication strategies, yet little is known about how these attitudes differ when directed toward women versus men. We address this gap by conducting latent profile analyses to examine the emergence and prevalence of gendered ambivalent classism profiles across five countries ( N = 4,116; Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico). Results revealed a consistent range of classism pr…
Está la psicopatología relacionada con el terrorismo? Una revisión sistemática sobre las evidencias disponibles en actores grupales y solitarios
Over the past two decades, research on terrorism has expanded considerably. Within this field, one central line of inquiry concerns the factors associated with this form of violence, and the relationship between psychopathology and terrorism has emerged as one of the most debated topics. Early studies largely concentrated on individuals operating within organizations. More recently, however, the rise of lone actors has led to growing scholarly at…
Intergroup contact with people experiencing poverty reduces hostile but not benevolent classism
Intergroup contact can reduce bias against disadvantaged groups, yet it may differentially shape ambivalent attitudes. This project examines how contact with people experiencing poverty relates to ambivalent classism and its policy consequences. We hypothesized that positive and frequent contact would have mixed effects, reducing the hostile dimension of classism while reinforcing benevolent forms (protective paternalism and complementary class d…
Context-Tailored or User-Tailored: Which Approach Is Better for Violent Extremism Prevention Programs
It is taken-for-granted that the one-size-fits-all approach does not work for extremism prevention programs. However, to what extent it is necessary to adapt these programs to the context or the user remains an unanswered question. This study attempts to provide evidence on which type of customization has a greater impact. Using data from the evaluation of the Fénix Andalucía prevention program, we analyzed if a reduction in the significance ques…
El proceso de radicalización de la célula terrorista del 17-A, o cómo el extremismo puede dejar su huella en el lenguaje
En agosto de 2017, un grupo de jóvenes de Ripoll, conocidos como la célula del 17-A, llevó a cabo dos atentados terroristas en Barcelona y Cambrils, España, que causó la muerte de 16 personas y dejó más de un centenar de heridos. En un intento de entender lo que sucedió, y, sobre todo, cómo se llegó hasta ahí, en este trabajo de investigación exploramos la conducta verbal de esta célula terrorista a través de los textos hallados en sus ordenadore…
The paradoxical effects of PVE programs: An example of an evaluation using person-centered methods
Risk and protective factors in the radicalization process of the 17-A terrorist cell
Hostile classism and admiration: Antecedents of the perceived humanity of low- and high-socioeconomic-status groups / Clasismo hostil y admiración: antecedentes de la humanidad percibida de los grupos…
Previous research shows that animalistically dehumanizing low-socioeconomic-status (SES) groups, compared to high, favours maintaining socioeconomic differences. Less is known about the variables that trigger the (de)humanization of these groups. We rely on previous literature about the causes of dehumanization to perform an extended analysis of the variables that potentially predict the attribution of humanity to these groups. In a large study (…
Social alienation as a bridge between unemployment and support for political violence
What Made Me Change: Transformative Experiences in the Jihadist Radicalization Process
Disentangling the roots of radicalization leading to violence is a worldwide challenge. Unfortunately, empirical data are scarce. Through fieldwork conducting interviews with Muslim persons deprived of liberty (PDL) in Spanish prisons, this research examines transformative experiences that may have influenced radicalization leading to violence from the 3N model and the life-course perspective lenses. PDL because of jihadist terrorism (n = 30), co…

Analysis of the radicalization of the 17-A terrorist cell: An empirical approach using the 3N model ( Análisis del proceso de radicalización de la célula terrorista del 17-A: una aproximación empírica…
Radicalization is a complex process given the fact that several factors interact in it. In order to gain an overview of these factors, a case study was performed of the cell that carried out the terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. The 3N model of radicalization was used, which proposes three factors: needs, narratives and networks. The content of the order handed down by the National High Court and the police proceedings of Mossos d’Esqu…
Urban environments favorable to radical narratives: The case of El Puche
This paper aims to study the process of violent radicalization in El Puche, a marginal neighborhood of Spain with a high percentage of disenfranchised Muslims. Particularly, we explore whether this neighborhood exhibits the factors proposed by the 3N model of radicalization: needs, networks, and narratives. We present two studies in which we analyze these factors. In the first study, we compare needs and networks between Muslims ( N = 47) and Chr…
Strategies for Preventing Radicalisation: Insights from the Practitioner Perspective
Violent extremism is one of the biggest problems nowadays. Particularly, some characteristics of young people make them more vulnerable to radicalisation, so different prevention strategies have been developed. However, these strategies do not always take into consideration risk and protective factors, nor the skills that professionals should have. Therefore, this research aims at identifying prevention strategies through the reinforcement of pro…
How do people understand the causes of poverty and wealth? A revised structural dimensionality of the attributions about poverty and wealth scales
The attributional process, defined as the process of inferring the causes of the events that surround individuals in their daily lives, can potentially shape the understanding of poverty and wealth. For instance, it might influence how people behave, what they expect from poor and wealthy groups in their society, and how they judge them. However, the existing measures that capture these attributional phenomena have several limitations. Some attri…
Adaptation and validation into Spanish of the Workplace Dignity Scale
Introduction and objective: Workers contend with many threats while performing their daily routine that could undermine their dignity, such as denigrating comments from supervisors or co-workers. Denying workers’ dignity constitutes a direct threat towards their well-being. The aim of this paper is to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Workplace Dignity Scale (WDS). Method: An instrumental design was executed in order to adapt the scal…
Spanish adaptation of the Ambivalent Classism Inventory (ACI)
Introduction: Hostile and benevolent classism influence the derogation of poor people and groups, with negative consequences. The present study aims to adapt and validate the Ambivalent Classism Inventory (ACI) to obtain an adequate tool for expanding research on this topic among the Spanish-speaking population. Method: Toward this end, the researchers back-translated the ACI version originally developed for English speakers. Exploratory and conf…
Fact-checking on Twitter: An analysis of the hashtag #StopBulos
The fact-checking is an important tool to improve the quality of the information that circulates in virtual networks. Although there are different fact-checking verification agencies, we also found some more informal strategies such as the use of the hashtag #Stopbulos. Thus, this research aims to characterize the #StopBulos hashtag on Twitter as a way to verify information and control the spread of fake news. The results showed that there was di…
The role of vulnerable environments in support for homegrown terrorism: Fieldwork using the 3N model
The 3N model of radicalization proposes that violent radicalization is the result of the contribution of needs, networks, and narratives. Although research has mainly been supportive of this perspective, a substantial amount of ground remains uncovered regarding the network component of the model. Within this framework, we examine why individuals living in certain social environments tend to harbor more positive attitudes toward homegrown terrori…
Minority‐ versus Majority‐Status Group Intentions to Transgress the Law When Oppression Is Perceived
Oppression, frustration, and humiliation are some of the most critical variables when predicting political violence. There are, however, other factors, such as group support and violent narratives/ideologies, involved in this relationship. Moreover, contextual and group characteristics should also be taken into account. Thus, we conduct an empirical study in the context of Catalonia versus Spain conflict, taking into account group status and othe…
On the way to fusion through the pilgrims’ route: Factors that maintain identity fusion in collective rituals
Identity fusion, a visceral union between personal and group identity is considered to be triggered and maintained by collective rituals with certain characteristics (e.g., opaque causal actions, synchrony, high excitement) and by recalling such rituals. The purpose of the present research was to determine the factors that maintain identity fusion after taking part in the pilgrimage of the Way of Saint James. We conducted a study with pilgrims ( …
