Se construye y valida psicométricamente una escala de actitudes negativas hacia personas trans (EANT) como expresión del prejuicio hacia las mismas. Se reportan dos estudios secuenciales interdependientes por cuestionarios a partir de muestreos no probabilísticos. El estudio 1, con 203 participantes, en su mayoría estudiantes universitarios, aborda la construcción y análisis exploratorio de la EANT. El estudio 2, con 408 participantes según cuotas sociodemográficas establecidas por el censo nacional en la población general, estudia los análisis factoriales confirmatorios y la validación externa de la escala. Se obtuvo un instrumento unifactorial de 9 ítems, con una consistencia interna aceptable (α = .886) que sugiere una adecuada aplicabilidad en población general, así como relaciones esperables convariables típicas (ATLG, RWA, SDO y religiosidad).
This is an interpretative, critical, and selective review of scholarly contributions that explore Latin America’s religious landscape. We present data, both qualitative and quantitative, from Latin America and analyze the explanations given to make sense of it. After assessing the literature that uses either secularization theory or the “religious economy” approach, we study explanations that highlight a Latin American style of “popular religiosity.” These three models, in different ways, put the emphasis on religious institutions—their vitality, commands, competition, and authority. We propose, instead, a focus on the religious practices of regular believers. We speculate that embarking from that focus, the idea of an “enchanted modernity” will help make sense of Latin America’s religious landscape. Nuanced elucidation of Latin America’s religious particularities will situate them in dialogue with other regions of the world, like western Europe and the United States, while also acknowledging the fact that Latin America is experiencing a modernization process distinct from the North Atlantic one.
En el marco de una reflexión analítica sobre los medios masivos de comunicación como objetos y referentes ideológicos del posicionamiento político, se estudia la relación entre consumo mediático e ideología política. A nivel empírico, se aplica un cuestionario a 273 ciudadanos mayores de 18 años de Córdoba/Argentina, seleccionados por un muestreo no probabilístico según cuotas de género, edad y nivel socio-económico. Entre los principales hallazgos, se observa tanto una tendencia hacia un esquema de consumo concentrado que reproduce los parámetros de competencia impuestos por el propio mercado mediático, como diferencias significativas en materia de selectividad ideológica entre quienes se identifican con alguna dimensión progresista o de izquierda y quienes se auto-posicionan hacia la derecha o son identificados como conservadores.
The aim of this study was to create an explanatory model that allows analyzing the predictive power of a set of variables related to political knowledge; more specifically, to analyze the relationship between the education level of young adults and the variables, interest in politics and internal political efficacy. We also analyzed the combined relationship between these variables, together with age, and political knowledge. We worked with a sample group of 280 young adults between the ages of 18-30 from the city of Córdoba (Argentina). The data was subjected to a structural equation modelling SEM analysis, which allowed for the corroboration of the following hypotheses: the higher the education level, the more the interest in politics; the higher the education level, the better the perception of internal political efficacy; the higher the education level, the more the political knowledge; the more the interest in politics, the more the political knowledge; and the better the perception of internal political efficacy, the more interest in politics. Moreover, the following hypotheses could not be verified: the older an individual, the more the political knowledge; and the better the perception of internal political efficacy, the more the political knowledge. The model obtained allows for discussion of the explanatory value of these socio-cognitive variables.
