Flaherty's cross-cultural theory purports to account for variation in the perceived passage of time. Recent events in Argentina provide an opportunity to assess the applicability of this theory to a Latin American nation. We conducted interviews with 198 persons who participated in various kinds of political activism. The respondents who felt that time had passed “quickly” emphasized an increase in governmental and personal activity. For those who said “slowly,” the focus was on suffering, unpleasant emotions, and waiting. Those who were unable to specify reported a mixture of factors associated with “quickly” or “slowly,” while those who said “synchronically” were unaffected by the turmoil in their country. These findings offer strong support for the theory in question, and they suggest that variation in the experience of time occurs not because there are different kinds of people but because people find themselves in different kinds of circumstances.
El objetivo de este artículo es describir un procedimiento para la construcción de uno de los indicadores de la variable trayectoria ocupacional, en el cual se comparan la ocupación desempeñada a los 25 años y la actual (o última en el caso de retirados/jubilados). El estudio en el cual se usará el indicador tiene como objetivo general analizar los procesos de reproducción y cambio ocupacional, en el marco de las clases sociales. Los datos provienen de una encuesta aleatoria multietápica realizada en 2015-2016 entre 1065 miembros de hogares residentes en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA), de la cual se ha seleccionado un subuniverso de mujeres y varones de entre los 35 y 50 años de edad. En el procesamiento de los datos para la construcción del indicador de corte transversal se utilizó el paquete estadístico Stata.
