Influencia de la inducción del individualismo y el colectivismo en la aceptación y el rechazo de la desigualdad en jóvenes españoles y costarricenses
Las actitudes y comportamientos ante la desigualdad económica varían de una sociedad a otra, sin embargo el estudio transcultural de la desigualdad está todavía en sus primeros pasos. Considerando esto, realizamos una investigación experimental en dos sociedades, una de Europa (España, N = 332, M edad = 26.01, DT = 4.47, mujeres = 54,5%) y otra de Latinoamérica (Costa Rica, N = 338, M edad = 22.23, DT = 3.77, mujeres = 46,4%), con el objetivo de …

En una primera parte teórica comienza describiendo algunos aportes de la perspectiva de la psicología social sobre la desigualdad en la distribución de recursos económicos. En una segunda parte revisa varios estudios científicos recientes sobre la relación entre e…
The Influence of Individualism and Collectivism on Costa Rican Children, Adolescents and Young adults’ Decisions Facing Inequality in Resource Distribution
We examined how induced cultural orientation (individualist or collectivist) influences decisions in resource distribution in middle childhood (N = 166, M age = 9.85, SD = 0.96, females = 51.5%), early adolescence (N = 254, M age = 13.42, SD = 0.72, females = 50.8%) and young adults (N = 338, M age = 21.41, SD = 3.77, females = 46.4%), among Costa Rican samples. We found influence of induced individualism in rejection of highly unfair offers in t…
Does poverty promote a different and harmful way of thinking? The links between economic scarcity, concrete construal level and risk behaviors
We tested the relationships between economic scarcity, concrete construal level and risk behaviors. We manipulated the lack of economic resources using a priming task in Studies 1 and 2, and participants reported their real income and completed the BIF scale to measure their construal level in Study 3. Studies 1–3 supported the link between perceived economic scarcity and the concrete construal level. Study 4 demonstrated the mediating role playe…
Health or wealth? The influence of perceived health and wealth threats and style of thinking on protective behaviours and well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain ( ¿Salud o riqueza? La influe…
The present research explored the influence of thinking style and the perception of threats to health and wealth on protective actions and well-being within the framework of the first wave of COVID-19 in Spain. We expected that an abstract (versus concrete) thinking style would be related to greater protective behaviours while maintaining a higher sense of well-being. Through an online questionnaire ( N = 1,043), we explored these relationships a…
The Relationships between Economic Scarcity, Concrete Mindset and Risk Behavior: A Study of Nicaraguan Adolescents
Background : Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in Latin America, with an extremely low human development index (HDI). Fifty-two percent of the Nicaraguan population are children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Nicaraguan adolescents present several risk behaviors (such as teenage pregnancies, consumption of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis). Our study examines the links between risk behaviors, fatalism, real economic scarcity, and concre…
Attachment insecurities, life satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction from a dyadic perspective: The role of positive and negative affect
The purpose of this research is to examine the association between attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance) and both subjective well‐being (positive affect [PA] and negative affect [NA] and life satisfaction) and relationship satisfaction. There were 174 Spanish heterosexual couples with a mean length of relationship of 13.9 years who participated in the study. The hypotheses were tested according to the actor–partner interdependence model…
Long‐term partners' relationship satisfaction and their perceptions of each other's attachment insecurities
In this research, we examined actors' and partners' perceptions of each other's attachment insecurities and the associations of these perceptions with relationship satisfaction. A sample of 148 heterosexual couples completed measures of self and partner attachment insecurities and relationship satisfaction. Results indicate that partners agree in their perceptions of their own and each other's attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance). Base…
Abstractness leads people to base their behavioral intentions on desired attitudes
Prototypical Anger Components: A Multilevel Study
This study explored the effects of psychological and cultural variables on self-reported emotional prototypes of anger. Eight anger components were examined using a multilevel analysis. Competitiveness, interdependence, gender, instrumentality, and expressivity were entered as individual variables, and individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, and the Human Development Index (HDI) were entered as cultural variables. All highlight the im…
A violência de gênero no contexto da América Latina
In 2011, 60 women died in Spain, victims of violence by men who were, or had been their partners. They died by the hands of those who were supposed to take care and protected them, those who should have loved them. What took place on Spain, also occurred in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, sometimes with more cruelty. This phenomenon cannot be ignored by those who work with human rights protection, because it is, essentially, a human rights i…
The present projects past behavior into the future while the past projects attitudes into the future: How verb tense moderates predictors of drinking intentions
Cognitive, Attitudinal, and Emotional Effects of News Frame and Group Cues, on Processing News About Immigration
This study aimed to contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms explaining the so-called framing effect. Experimental research (N = 355) was carried out with a 2 × 2 between-subjects factor design in which the news frame and group cues were manipulated in a news story on the consequences of the increase in immigration in Spain, and their impact on cognitive, attitudinal, and emotional variables was assessed. The results show that the type o…
Implicit theories about interrelations of anger components in 25 countries
We were interested in the cross-cultural comparison of implicit theories of the interrelations of eight anger components (antecedents, body sensations, cognitive reactions, verbal expressions, nonverbal expressions, interpersonal responses, and primary and secondary self-control). Self-report scales of each of these components were administered to a total of 5,006 college students in 25 countries. Equivalence of the scales was supported in that s…
