Perspectivas y contextos de la prosocialidad y la convivencia

Abstract

This work presents the findings of different disciplines, methodologies and fields of action of social scientists, in which an intra and extra-disciplinary dialogue is established on coexistence and prosociality. For this reason, the compilation includes complementary references in methods, experiments, correlations, studies of social networks, etc.; concepts, verbiage, executive functions, environmental conditions, cultural aspects; and units of analysis, for example, individual, culture, groups, texts, etc. The chapters present research results carried out in specialized settings both at university and in socially situated contexts. This book is in line with the scientific agenda and the national current challenges such as the educational impacts of the conflict as regards the post-peace agreement with the FARC-EP; the group dynamics of the groups of victims; the conflict associated with urban life, the physical violence against women; the fulfillment of education goals for sustainable development and local governance, among others. Each chapter presents specific recommendations on the findings for scientists and professionals with social interests, as well as open theoretical discussions and future studies. This wealth of scientific and professional voices highlights the central role of research centers, in terms of the type and quality of research and professional performance for the construction of peace culture in Colombia.
