  • Beyond Malpractice

    Open AccessManuel Cárdenas-Castro, Manuel Cárdenas Castro et al.ARTICLEHypatia2026

While obstetric violence primarily focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, gynecological violence includes healthcare experiences throughout the entire life cycle of individuals assigned female at birth, beyond maternity. The concept aims to highlight physical, psycholo…

  • Hierarchy and authority

    Open AccessFelipe Obregón, Joaquín Bahamondes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2025

    Prejudice and anti-immigrant attitudes are strongly motivated by more general ideological attitudes. Considering the current situation of migration in Chile, we conducted two studies on the ideologies underlying rejection of the affirmation of the rights of the Latin American migrant population in Chile. The first study ( n = 1,103) examined the associations between right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) on the o…

It occurs within healthcare settings in the context of gynecological care, and despite its prevalence, there's a dearth of research exploring strategies to combat it. This qualitative study aimed to investigate the coping mechanisms adopted by women and individuals assigned female at birth (cisgender, gender nonconforming, and…

  • Numbing the perception of stigma

    Open AccessJoaquín Bahamondes, Fabiola Gómez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2020

    System justification theory posits that perceiving society as fair and legitimate provides palliative benefits to people who endorse such beliefs. Despite mixed evidence among socially disadvantaged groups, recent evidence shows that members of disadvantaged groups minimize perceptions of discrimination in order to reap palliative benefits. We tested this hypothesis in a sample of gay men and lesbians in Chile ( N = 467). Specifically, we examine…

    Based on Pettigrew and Meertens’ Blatant and Subtle Prejudice Scale (1995), a new scale for assessing the expression of prejudice is proposed in this article.
