El propósito fue analizar la influencia de expresiones ideológicas conservadoras, como el autoritarismo de derecha (RWA) y la orientación hacia la dominancia social (SDO), en las percepciones sobre el sistema normativo y el sistema político en el Perú en una muestra accidental de 201 peruanos. Se aplicaron las escalas RWA, SDO, percepción del sistema normativo y cinismo político. Por medio de análisis de varianza, t de Student, análisis factorial exploratorio, correlaciones de Pearson, regresión lineal múltiple y path analysis, los resultados muestran, a nivel descriptivo, que las percepciones sobre los sistemas normativo y político son mayoritariamente negativas. En general, se observan relaciones directas entre los indicadores de autoritarismo y dominancia, con una evaluación positiva del sistema normativo y con una mayor tolerancia hacia prácticas corruptas en el sistema político y sus instituciones. Se parte de una definición del cinismo político como una expresión de desconfianza generalizada hacia el sistema político, que se enriquece con 2 nuevas dimensiones conceptuales relevantes para la comprensión del fenómeno en sociedades latinoamericanas como la peruana: posibilidad de cambio del sistema político y laxitud moral política.Palabras clave: percepción sistema normativo, dominancia social, autoritarismo de derecha, cinismo político, path analysisThe purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of conservative ideological expressions like right wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social domination orientation (SDO) on perceptions related to the normative and political system in Peru in an accidental sample of 201 Peruvians. The RWA, SDO, normative system perception, and political cynicism scales were administered. Based on variance analyses, Student's t tests, exploratory factor analyses, Pearson correlations, multiple linear regressions, and path analysis, descriptive results show that perceptions on the normative and political systems are mostly negative. In general, results reveal direct relationships between the authoritarianism and dominance indicators and a positive evaluation of the normative system and greater tolerance of corrupt practices in the political system and its institutions. The study rests on a definition of political cynicism as an expression of generalized mistrust towards the political system, which is enriched with 2 new conceptual dimensions relevant for understanding the phenomenon in Latin American societies such as the Peruvian: the possibility of change in the political system and political moral laxity.Keywords: normative system perception, social domination, right-wing authoritarianism, political cynicism, path analysis En el contexto peruano existe una larga historia de corrupción y transgresión normativa (Quiroz, 2008(Quiroz, /2013, produciéndose una suerte de precarización del sistema político y las normas que lo respaldan, lo que, a su vez, se traduce en muy bajos niveles de confianza institucional (Latinobarómetro, 2015).

The purpose of this study is to analyse the influence of different musical genres with Andean influences (Huayno, Chicha and Rock/Fusion) on the components of Peruvian national identity. To this end, we enlisted the participation of 92 upper-middle-class people (M = 19.91, SD = 1.95). The participants were randomly assigned each music genre in three experimental groups: Huayno (n = 30), Chicha (n = 31) and Rock/Fusion (n = 31). The results show that Rock/Fusion is the most highly rated musical genre with the most positive influence on some stereotypical components of national identity, attitude towards music and positive emotions. In contrast, the more 'Andeanized' genres, especially Chicha music, are perceived more negatively and have fewer positive effects on the stereotypical components of national identity, attitude towards music and positive emotions. The discussion suggests that the influence of the musical expressions evaluated depends on the ascribed status of the social group where these expressions were originally conceived and are currently consumed.

This study investigates; (1) how Political Cynicism is structured and, (2) how this structure relates to Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) in 11 Ibero-American countries (N=2388). The results show that the structure of Political Cynicism is composed of four dimensions: (1) Mistrust, (2) Perception of Corruption, (3) Need for Change and, (4) Political Moral Laxity. Furthermore, the study reveals that there is no homogeneous model of relations between the dimensions of Political Cynicism with RWA and SDO by country. However, at a general level it is noted that Mistrust acts as a diffuse indicator of dissatisfaction with the political system that increases Political Moral Laxity, while the Perception of Corruption, functions as a specific indicator of dissatisfaction that is directly associated with the Need for Change and, inversely, to Moral Laxity. Both RWA and SDO increase the negative manifestations of Political Cynicism, but the most interesting result is the stability of the observed relationship between SDO and Moral Laxity in 10 of the 11 countries considered in the study. The results are discussed in terms of the costs that Political Cynicism represents for the consolidation of Democracy, especially in its manifestation of moral laxity.

Populism is a phenomenon that is gaining attention in Political Psychology. The goal of the current study was to determine the relationship between populist attitudes, based on the populist demand and the perception of the populist offer, and several indices of political cynicism and attitudes toward democracy in Peru. To do this, a quantitative correlational study including 391 participants from diverse Peruvian locations was carried out. Both populist attitudes and critical perception of the populist offer are found to be directly related to Political Cynicism in its dimensions of Political Distrust, Political Hopelessness, and Political Moral Laxity, and inversely related to the dimension of Political System Change. Similarly, both dimensions of populism are directly related to Democratic Support and inversely related to Democratic Satisfaction. The findings support the notion that populist attitudes emerge in the context of distrust of the system and express an ambivalent relationship with democracy. Furthermore, the various approaches developed by the social sciences to address the populist phenomenon are discussed in terms of their strengths and limitations.
