Validation of the Short Version (TLS-15) of the Triangular Love Scale (TLS-45) across 37 Languages.

Love is a phenomenon that occurs across the world and affects many aspects of human life, including the choice of, and process of bonding with, a romantic partner. Thus, developing a reliable and valid measure of love experiences is crucial. One of the most popular tools to quantify love is Sternberg's 45-item Triangular Love Scale (TLS-45), which measures three love components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. However, our literature review reveals that most studies (64%) use a broad variety of shortened versions of the TLS-45. Here, aiming to achieve scientific consensus and improve the reliability, comparability, and generalizability of results across studies, we developed a short version of the scale-the TLS-15-comprised of 15 items with 5-point, rather than 9-point, response scales. In Study 1 (N = 7,332), we re-analyzed secondary data from a large-scale multinational study that validated the original TLS-45 to establish whether the scale could be truncated. In Study 2 (N = 307), we provided evidence for the three-factor structure of the TLS-15 and its reliability. Study 3 (N = 413) confirmed convergent validity and test-retest stability of the TLS-15. Study 4 (N = 60,311) presented a large-scale validation across 37 linguistic versions of the TLS-15 on a cross-cultural sample spanning every continent of the globe. The overall results provide support for the reliability, validity, and cross-cultural invariance of the TLS-15, which can be used as a measure of love components-either separately or jointly as a three-factor measure.

Validation of the Perceived Phubbing Scale to the Argentine Context.

In recent years, the increased use of mobile devices has changed social dynamics. One such change is the rise of phubbing, described as the behavior of ignoring someone in order to pay attention to one's cell phone. The purpose of this research was to validate the Perceived Phubbing Scale (PPS) and examine its relationship with other psychological variables. An Argentine sample was composed of 1608 participants aged between 18 and 65 (M = 45.59; SD 14.03), with 51.6% identifying as female. They were provided with a phubbing scale, along with scales to measure emotional disconnection, fear of missing out (FoMO) and social exclusion, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results indicated that the PPS showed an adequate fit to the data, based on a structure of one factor (X2(20) = 259.353, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.958; IFI = 0.958; RMSEA = 0.089) and the internal consistency (α = 0.93), resulting in a nine-item scale. Participants with high or medium levels of phubbing showed a tendency to suffer FoMO or feel socially excluded or socially isolated. We did not find differences in the levels of phubbing related to the participant's age, gender, or socioeconomic level. It is possible to conclude that PPS can be used as a reliable measure to evaluate perceived phubbing in Argentina. Implications of the variables studied are discussed as possible predictors of phubbing and are to be considered in its approach.

Fear of Missing Out, Emotional Intelligence and Attachment in Older Adults in Argentina.

In recent years, the rise of social networks has changed relationships and lifestyles around the world. This has led to the emergence of the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), which consists of the need to constantly check social media and the anguish that comes from feeling a lack of rewarding experiences. The impact derived from the use of technologies in a digital environment has been widely studied in young people but not so much in older adults. The main aim of this study was to analyze FoMO levels in older adults and their relationships with sociodemographic and formative factors. Another aim of this study was to analyze whether the dimensions of emotional intelligence, the different forms of attachment and psychological symptomatology affect the FoMO levels of older adults. A total of 690 older adults from Argentina aged between 60 and 90 years (M = 69.01; SD = 5.48) participated, 54.5% of whom were women, responding using a geolocated online questionnaire. The main results confirmed that older people show FoMO levels similar to other general samples. In addition, results show several predictor variables with respect to FoMO: emotional attention, insecure attachment, depression and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. The implications of the results observed in older adults are discussed.

Teachers at risk: Depressive symptoms, emotional intelligence, and burnout during COVID-19.

Background: Previous studies indicated that depressive symptoms are common among teachers due to job stress and difficulty in managing emotions. The aim of this research was to determine the levels of depressive symptomatology in a sample of secondary school teachers who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze the relationships with their levels of burnout and emotional intelligence. Methods: The study involved 430 secondary school teachers residing in Madrid (Spain) who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants' age was between 25 and 60 (M = 41.40; SD = 11.07) and the gender distribution was 53.72% men and 46.28% women. We used the Spanish version of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators Survey (MBI-ES) and the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24). Results: The main results indicated that teachers presented high means of depressive symptomatology, with women obtaining higher scores than men. Significant relationships were also observed between the levels of depressive symptomatology and the dimensions of burnout and emotional intelligence. Finally, the three dimensions of emotional intelligence would contribute to the depressive symptomatology of teachers, while of the burnout dimensions only Emotional Exhaustion would make a contribution. Conclusion: The possible consequences of depressive symptomatology in teachers during the pandemic are discussed, as well as the need to enhance protective factors such as emotional intelligence and to study burnout levels.

Validation of the subtle and blatant prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants scale in Argentina.

Even though prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants is one of the main reasons for discrimination in Argentina, there is no valid measure to assess it. The aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the subtle and blatant prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants scale. In addition, we tested correlations with right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, feelings towards Bolivian immigrants, and ideological self-placement. Data was collected through a convenience sample of 431 undergraduate students from Buenos Aires, with an age range from 18 to 45 years old (38.75% men and 61.25% women). Results showed adequate psychometric properties for the scale. Moreover, significant correlations between subtle and blatant prejudice and the other psychosocial variables tested were found. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The dark side of sexism in Argentina: Psychometric properties of the Short Dark Triad Personality measure and its relation with ambivalent sexism.

One of the main evaluation instruments of the dark side of personality has been the Short Dark Triad of Personality (SD3), that includes Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy traits. Although other adaptations of this scale have been made in several countries, its psychometric properties have never been tested in Argentina. Different studies addressed that dark triad scores are related to different expressions of sexist prejudice. One of the issues that have been traditionally considered to understand intimate, yet unequal relationships between men and women, is prejudice toward women. Ambivalent sexism combines two types of sexist attitudes: hostile, and benevolent sexism. While hostile sexism involves attitudes of outright intolerance towards women, benevolent sexism is defined as a set of attitudes that comprises the perception of women in a positive emotional tone. The aim of the study was to analyze the Dark Triad of Personality scale in the Argentinian context and its relationships whit ambivalent sexism. A total of 1,198 individuals residing in different regions of Argentina participated, from different genders (woman = 59.5%), from 18 to 75 years old (M = 45.17 SD = 15.08). Main results indicated adequate psychometric properties for the Short Dark Triad of Personality scale in the Argentinian context. In addition, the three traits of the dark triad were significantly related to hostile and benevolent sexism, which indicate that one of the variables to keep addressing in order to comprise and eventually reduce prejudice towards women would be the dark triad of personality. Main results are discussed, in order to strengthen the understanding of the relationships between the dark triad and ambivalent sexism.

Construct Validity of the Attitudes towards Maghrebis in Education Scale (AMES).

The current article describes the validation of the Attitudes towards Maghrebis in Education (AMES) scale in the Spanish context and examines the relation with other psychosocial variables. A Spanish sample of 807 participants aged between 18 and 80 years old completed the AMES. The analyses were performed using CFA, mainly considering the statistical indices of CFI, RMSEA and Pearson's correlation. The external validity of the scale was tested using measures, such as social dominance orientation (SDO), empathic concern, warmth, competence and contact with Maghrebis. The results indicated that the AMES showed an adequate fit to the data. The AMES was found to be negatively correlated with SDO, whereas it was correlated positively with the rest of the variables. The results demonstrate that the AMES can be used as a reliable measure to evaluate attitudes towards Maghrebi migrants in education in Spain. The implications of the psychosocial variables studied are discussed as possible factors to consider for promoting more intercultural socio-educational environments.

Assessment of social justice dimensions in young adults: The contribution of the belief in a just world and social dominance orientation upon its rising.

The aim of the study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Social Justice Scale, composed by Representation, Recognition, and Redistribution dimensions. Likewise, the contribution of social dominance and the belief in a just world in each dimension were analyzed. A total of 471 young adults residing in Madrid participated in the online preliminary study, with an age range of 18-42 years with different genders (74.1% defined themselves as female). The main results indicated adequate psychometric properties for Social Justice Scale through its three dimensions. In addition, we observed that both social dominance and belief in a just world might be psychosocial variables that modulate the levels of social justice. The main findings of the research and need for replication in future studies are discussed.

Validation of TMMS-24 in Three Spanish-Speaking Countries: Argentina, Ecuador, and Spain.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a fundamental skill related to different aspects of human life, such as psychological well-being or mood states. The present study has a triple objective: first, to explore the psychometric properties of the TMMS-24 in three Spanish-speaking countries (Argentina, Ecuador, and Spain); second, to examine the relation of EI with mood and avoidance of responsibility; and finally, to analyse the influence of sex, age and national differences on EI. The relevance of this study is given by the need for tools to assess EI in different cultures. A sample of 1048 adults (Mage = 21.11 years, SD = 5.84; 52.3% male) was selected by convenience sampling. The psychometric properties of the TMMS-24 were adequate, and the Spanish sample showed lower levels of EI than the Argentinian and Ecuadorian ones. EI was associated with mood and the avoidance of responsibility, with higher levels in women in all cases. Regarding the national and sex-specific differences, the Spanish sample showed significant differences in attention and repair, with men exhibiting higher scores in attention and women having higher scores in repair. In the Argentinean sample, no significant differences were found, and in the Ecuadorian one, women presented higher scores in attention than men. The TMMS-24 can be considered a useful, practical tool to assess EI in adults in different cultures and with different languages.

Cross-cultural validation of the Mood Questionnaire in three Spanish-speaking countries Argentina, Ecuador, and Spain.

This study validates the Mood Questionnaire for adults in three Spanish-speaking countries: Argentina, Ecuador, and Spain. It then analyzes the influence of gender and cultural differences on mood, and whether there is a relationship between mood, emotional intelligence, and the Avoidance of Responsibility. A convenience sample of 1048 adults, with a middle-class socioeconomic background, was selected from three Spanish-speaking countries (Spain, Argentina, and Ecuador). The psychometric properties of the Mood Questionnaire are adequate, which is particularly interesting given the need for transcultural tools to evaluate moods. Moreover, the mood was associated with avoidance of responsibility and emotional intelligence. In addition, differences in mood were observed according to country and gender. These findings are interesting because the Spanish version of the Mood Questionnaire has been validated for children but not for adults, and it compares three Spanish-speaking countries. The use of this diagnostic tool with Spanish adults can be justified according to these results.

Validation of the subtle and blatant prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants scale in Argentina

Abstract Even though prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants is one of the main reasons for discrimination in Argentina, there is no valid measure to assess it. The aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the subtle and blatant prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants scale. In addition, we tested correlations with right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, feelings towards Bolivian immigrants, and ideological self-placement. Data was collected through a convenience sample of 431 undergraduate students from Buenos Aires, with an age range from 18 to 45 years old (38.75% men and 61.25% women). Results showed adequate psychometric properties for the scale. Moreover, significant correlations between subtle and blatant prejudice and the other psychosocial variables tested were found. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Fundamentalismo Religioso y su Relación con Variables Psicosociales en Judíos Ortodoxos / Religious Fundamentalism and its Relation to Psychosocial Variables in Orthodox Jews

Resumen El fundamentalismo religioso expresa un conjunto de creencias basadas en una interpretación literal de un manuscrito considerado sagrado, con una exigencia intransigente de sometimiento a una doctrina. Diferentes variables psicosociales como el autoritarismo, la dominancia social, la necesidad de cierre y la ideología del rol de género han sido estudiadas en relación con fundamentalismo religioso. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo revisar estas relaciones y proponer un modelo teórico que las vincula, en una muestra de judíos ortodoxos. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística de judíos ortodoxos, compuesta por 426 adultos entre hombres y mujeres, con un rango etario de 18 a 69 años. Los resultados observados, en convergencia con estudios previos, confirman las relaciones positivas entre el fundamentalismo religioso y la necesidad de cierre cognitivo, el autoritarismo del ala de derechas, la orientación a la dominancia social y la ideología de roles de género. A partir de ello, se propone un modelo teórico en el que autoritarismo y dominancia social modulan los niveles de necesidad de cierre y fundamentalismo religioso los que, a su vez, inciden en los niveles de ideología del rol de género. Los hallazgos de este estudio pueden contribuir al análisis de los efectos de la radicalización y brindar insumos para el desarrollo e implementación de las medidas preventivas necesarias. Se discuten los alcances y límites de la propuesta teórica.

Abstract Religious fundamentalism expresses a set of beliefs based on a literal interpretation of a manuscript considered sacred, with an intransigent demand for submission to a doctrine. Different psychosocial variables such as authoritarianism, social dominance, the need for closure and the gender role ideology have been studied in relation to religious fundamentalism. On the one hand, authoritarianism and social dominance have been considered as predictors of religious fundamentalism while, on the other hand, the need for closure and the gender role ideology have been studied in their relations with religious fundamentalism. The aim of this work was to review these relationships and propose a theoretical model that links them, in a sample of Orthodox Jews. We worked with a non-probabilistic sample of Orthodox Jews, composed of 426 adults between men and women, with an age range of 18 to 69 years. The results observed, in convergence with previous studies, confirm the positive relationships between religious fundamentalism and the need for cognitive closure, the authoritarianism of the right wing, the orientation to social dominance and the ideology of gender roles. From this, a theoretical model is proposed in which authoritarianism and social dominance modulate the levels of need for closure and religious fundamentalism which, in turn, affect the levels of ideology of the gender role. The scope and limits of the theoretical proposal are discussed.

El Inventario de los Cinco Grandes Factores de Personalidad en el contexto argentino: puesta a prueba de los factores de orden superior / The Big Five Personality Inventory in the Argentinean Context: Testing Higher Order Factors

Resumen El Modelo de los Cinco Factores (ffm) de la personalidad predomina en la literatura científica y el Inventario de los Cinco Grandes (bfi) constituye una de sus principales evaluaciones. Considerando las limitaciones de estudios previos, el objetivo del presente artículo fue explorar la dimensionalidad del instrumento de evaluación bfi, evaluar los factores de orden superior y analizar sus relaciones con la autoestima, la edad y el sexo de los participantes. Participaron 549 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados indicaron adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para el bfiy para el modelo de dos factores de orden superior. Además, se observaron diferencias significativas según el sexo en amabilidad y neuroticismo, relaciones entre edad, neuroticismo y responsabilidad, así como también relaciones entre ambos factores de orden superior y la autoestima.

Abstract The Five-Factor Model (ffm) of personality predominates in the scientific literature, and the Big Five Inventory (bfi) is one of its main evaluations. Considering the limitations of previous studies, the aim of the present study was to explore the dimensionality of the bfi assessment instrument, to test higherorder factors and to analyze its relations with self-esteem, age, and sex of the participants. A total of 549 university students participated. The results showed adequate psychometric properties for the bfi and for the two-factor model of higher order personality traits. In addition, significant differences were observed by sex in terms of agreeableness and neuroticism, relationships between age, neuroticism, and conscientiousness, as well as relationships between both higher order factors and self-esteem.

La caballerosidad como mediador entre el autoritarismo y los roles de género / Chivalry as a mediator between authoritarianism and gender roles / Cavalheirismo como mediador entre autoritarismo e papéis de gênero

Resumen: A lo largo de la historia hombres y mujeres han mantenido relaciones de intimidad basadas en una asimetría o desigualdad estructural, cuyo sostén es un conjunto de actitudes sexistas como la caballerosidad, sumado a un marco convencional y de estabilidad conforme al autoritarismo y los roles de género como creencias de base sobre los atributos pertenecientes a cada género. El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue analizar las relaciones entre la caballerosidad como forma de sexismo benevolente, el autoritarismo y el sostenimiento de ideologías tradicionales de roles de género. Participaron de la muestra 303 sujetos adultos residentes en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 53 años, de ambos sexos. Se observó que, a mayores niveles de caballerosidad, mayores niveles de ideología del rol de género y mayores niveles de autoritarismo. Además, se encontró que la caballerosidad funciona como mediador entre el autoritarismo y la ideología de roles de género. Se discuten las relaciones entre las variables y las diferencias en la fuerza de relación entre variables según el sexo.

Abstract: Throughout history men and women have maintained intimate relationships based on structural asymmetry or inequality, which they maintain is a set of sexist attitudes such as chivalry, added to a conventional framework and stability according to authoritarianism and gender roles beliefs, based on attributes belong to each gender. The aim of the present study was the analysis of the relationships between the cavalry and the benevolent form of sexism, authoritarianism and the maintenance of traditional ideologies of gender roles. The participants were 303 subjects from Buenos Aires, between the ages of 18 and 53, of both sexes. It was observed that at higher levels of chivalry, higher levels of gender role ideology and higher levels of authoritarianism. In addition, we have found that chivalry functions as a mediator between authoritarianism and the ideology of gender roles. The relationships between the variables and the differences in strength between the relationships according to sex are discussed.

Resumo: Ao longo de homens e mulheres de história eles têm mantido relações íntimas com base em uma assimetria ou desigualdade estrutural, cujo apoio é um conjunto de atitudes sexistas como cavalaria, juntamente com um quadro convencional e estabilidade sob papéis autoritarismo e de gênero como crenças básicas sobre os atributos pertencentes a cada gênero. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi analisar as relações entre o cavalheirismo como uma forma de sexismo benevolente, autoritarismo e a manutenção de ideologias tradicionais de papéis de gênero. A amostra foi constituída por 303 sujeitos adultos residentes na Província de Buenos Aires, com idade entre 18 e 53 anos, de ambos os sexos. Observou-se que, em níveis mais altos de cavalaria, níveis mais altos de ideologia de papéis de gênero e níveis mais altos de autoritarismo. Além disso, constatou-se que o cavalheirismo funciona como um mediador entre o autoritarismo e a ideologia dos papéis de gênero. As relações entre as variáveis e as diferenças na força da relação entre variáveis de acordo com o sexo são discutidas.

Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Síntomas Globales Online (ESGO)

A partir del desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías en el campo de la psicoterapia surge la necesidad de contar con pruebas válidas y confiables que permitan indagar la presencia de sintomatología desde el formato on-line. El objetivo del trabajo fue desarrollar una escala que permita evaluar sintomatología de ansiedad, depresión, relaciones interpersonales y psicoticismo. Participaron 550 adultos, quienes respondieron a un cuestionario on-line que incluía cuatro dimensiones (ansiedad, depresión, relaciones interpersonales, psicoticismo). Para analizar la validez externa se utilizó la prueba OQ-45 y SA-45. Se observó una consistencia interna y validez de constructo adecuadas para las cuatro dimensiones evaluadas. Asimismo, en su validez externa se hallaron relaciones significativas con el OQ-45 y SA-45. La prueba construida resulta adecuada para la evaluación de síntomas, siendo una herramienta válida para su uso psicoterapéutico. No obstante, es necesario continuar analizando sus propiedades psicométricas en pacientes con los diagnósticos indagados

With the development of new technologies in the field of psychotherapy comes the need for valid and reliable tests that allow us to research the presence of symptoms in an online format. The aim of the following paper was to develop a scale to be used in the virtual format, which allows us to measure symptomatology for anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships and psychoticism. 550 adults participated, who answered an online questionnaire that included four dimensions (anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, psychoticism). Results shows an adequate internal consistency and construct validity for the four dimensions tested. Also, for the external validity significant relationships were found whit the OQ-45 and SA-45. The test we constructed seems to be a valid tool for psychotherapeutic use. However, it is necessary to continue analyzing its psychometrics, taking into account patients who have the specific diagnoses evaluated by the test.

Relaciones entre el autoritarismo y la dominancia social de acuerdo al nivel de contraste ideológico del contexto socio-político argentino

El autoritarismo del ala de derechas y la orientación a la dominancia social constituyen dos variables claves en el análisis de diversos fenómenos abordados por la Psicología Política. En esa línea, se afirma que se trata de dos constructos independientes que apuntan a visiones del mundo diferentes, pero que se encontrarían vinculados, variando su nivel de asociación, en función de determinadas características del contexto social en el que se estudian. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue analizar las relaciones entre el autoritarismo del ala de derechas y la orientación a la dominancia social en el contexto socio-político argentino caracterizado por su bajo nivel de contraste ideológico. De esta manera, se testeo la hipótesis de Duckitt (2001) en el contexto local, respecto de que las vinculaciones entre ambos constructos serían fuerte en contextos de alta polarización ideológica y débil en escenarios políticos no estructurados en función del eje izquierda-derecha. Para tal fin, se trabajó con cuatro muestras (NTotal = 1511) de estudiantes universitarios/as, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 52 años divididos/as, de los/as cuales 1061 participantes fueron mujeres (70,21%). Las relaciones entre el autoritarismo del ala de derechas y la orientación a la dominancia social varían en los diferentes estudios desde valores débiles a moderados (.25 < r < .35; p < .01). En función de los resultados, se discuten las particularidades que adquiere la vinculación entre estos dos constructos en el escenario socio-político argentino y se sugieren futuras líneas de análisis.

O autoritarismo de direita e orientação à dominância social são duas variáveis-chave na análise de vários fenômenos abordados pela Psicologia Política. Nesse sentido, afirma-se que é duas construções independentes que têm como alvo diferentes visões de mundo, mas que seria encontrada ligada, variando o seu nível de parceria, com base em certas características do contexto social em que são estudados. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a relação entre o autoritarismo de direita e orientação à dominância social no contexto sócio-político argentino caracterizado pelo seu baixo nível de contraste ideológico. Assim, a hipótese do Duckitt (2001) teste no contexto local, sobre as ligações entre as duas construções seriam contextos ideológicos fortes e fracos de alta polarização em cenários políticos não estruturados, dependendo do eixo esquerda-direita. Para este fim, trabalhamos com quatro amostras de estudantes universidade (NTotal = 1511), com idade entre 18 e 52 anos, dos quais 1.061 eram mulheres (70,21%). As relações entre o autoritarismo de direita e orientação à dominância social variam em diferentes estudos de fraca a moderadas (.25 < r < .35; p < 0,01). Dependendo dos resultados, as particularidades entre estas duas construções teóricas são discutidas no cenário sócio-político argentino e futuras linhas de análise são sugeridas.

Right wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation are two main variables for the analysis of different phenomena in Political Psychology. In this line, it is stated that both independent constructs are targeting different worldviews, but that would be found linked, varying its level of relations, based on certain characteristics of the social context in which they are studied. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the right wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation in Argentinian socio-political context characterized by its low level of ideological contrast. Thus, the hypothesis tested in the local context, regarding the linkages between the two constructs would be strong in ideological contexts of high polarization and weak political scenarios unstructured depending on the left-right axis Duckitt (2001). To this purpose, we worked with four university students samples (NTotal = 1511), aged between 18 and 52 years old and 1061 of them were women (70.21%). Relations between right wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation vary in different studies from weak to moderate values ​​(.25 < r <.35; p < .01). On the whole, the particularities acquired by the link between these two constructs in the Argentinian socio-political scenario are discussed and future lines of analysis are suggested.

Visiones del mundo, autoritarismo y dominancia en diferentes expresiones de prejuicio / Worldviews, authoritarianism and dominance in different kinds of prejudice

Resumen Las visiones del mundo son esquemas mentales que se presentan accesibles al individuo a través del proceso de socialización cultural, generando cosmovisiones sociales estables. Dos visiones del mundo, como un lugar peligroso (DW) y como una jungla competitiva (CW), han sido ampliamente estudiadas. Ambas se relacionan con 2 actitudes sociales: la DW se relaciona con el autoritarismo del ala de derechas (RWA), mientras que la CW se asocia a la orientación a la dominancia social (SDO). A su vez, RWA y SDO son 2 actitudes sociales predictoras por excelencia de diferentes formas de prejuicio. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue adaptar y validar la escala de visiones del mundo (WV) al contexto local, para luego testear 2 análisis de senderos con las relaciones entre variables propuestas en los antecedentes. Participaron del estudio 376 estudiantes universitarios con un rango etario de entre 18 y 42 años (M = 24.29; DT = 3.3). Los resultados principales indican adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para el modelo de 2 dimensiones correlacionadas para el estudio de las visiones del mundo. Además, pudo observarse como el análisis de senderos DW-RWA-Prejuicio resultó adecuado, mientras que el análisis de CW-SDO-Prejuicio presentó problemas métricos.

Abstract Worldviews are cognitive schemas available for individuals through the socialization process that generates stable social worldviews. The dangerous worldview (DW) and the competitive jungle worldview (CW) have been widely studied. Both are related to different social attitudes: DW relates to the right wing authoritarianism (RWA) and CW relates with social dominance orientation (SDO). Meanwhile, RWA and SDO are two social attitudes that predict different forms of prejudice. The main objective of this study was to adapt and validate the worldviews scale (WV) to the local context, and then to test two paths analysis with relationships between variables proposed in the background. Participants were 376 university students with an age range between 18 and 42 years (M = 24.29, SD = 3.3). Main results indicate adequate psychometric properties for the bi-dimensional worldviews model. Furthermore, it was also noted that the path analysis between DW-RWA-Prejudice was adequate, while the other including CW-SDO-Prejudice has metric problems.

Dimensiones del autoritarismo, centralidad de la religión y orientaciones religiosas: diferencias en el análisis lineal y no lineal de sus relaciones

La centralidad de la religión y las orientaciones religiosas han sido estudiadas en sus relaciones con el autoritarismo debido a que dichas expresiones de la religiosidad ofrecen un marco social convencional estable, el cual incluye una serie de pautas que rigen el comportamiento del sujeto autoritario. Sin embargo, estudios previos que analizaron estas relaciones no tuvieron en cuenta el aporte específico de cada una de las dimensiones del autoritarismo. El objetivo principal del estudio fue analizar las relaciones entre las dimensiones del autoritarismo, la centralidad de la religión y las orientaciones religiosas. Participaron 431 estudiantes universitarios, con edades comprendidas entre los 20 y 35 años, de los cuales el 72,38% eran mujeres. Se observó que las dos dimensiones del autoritarismo se relacionan con la centralidad de la religión, la orientación religiosa intrínseca y extrínseca personal. Se discuten las relaciones entre las dimensiones, así como su análisis lineal y no lineal.

The centrality of religion and the religious orientations have been studied in its relations to authoritarianism because such expressions of religiosity offer a stable conventional social framework. Such framework includes a set of guidelines that govern the behavior of authoritarian subjects. However, previous studies examining these relationships did not take into account the specific contribution of each of the dimensions of authoritarianism. The main objective of the study was to analyze the relationship between the dimensions of authoritarianism, the centrality of religion and religious orientations. 431 college students participated, aged between 20 and 35 years, 72.38% of them were women. It was observed that the two dimensions of authoritarianism are related to centrality of religion, intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation. Relationships between dimensions are discussed as well as their linear and nonlinear analysis.
