- ItemAuthoritarians and social dominators view career women markedly different (but only if they fail)(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2021) Süssenbach P.; Carvacho H.© 2021 The Authors. Journal of Applied Social Psychology published by Wiley Periodicals LLCIn three studies (N1 = 160, N2 = 100, N3 = 135), the effects of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) on the social judgment of working women (i.e., perceived warmth and competence) were examined. In each study, type of job (traditional vs. nontraditional job background) as well as the job-related success (Studies 1a and 1b) or political success (Study 2) of women was manipulated. Across studies, we found that RWA and SDO affected liking for a target who violated shared expectations (woman with a nontraditional job background without job-related/political success) in contrasting ways—with RMA predicting increased liking and SDO predicting decreased liking. Perceptions of stereotypic targets (e.g., the woman with a traditional job background without success, the woman with a nontraditional job background with success) were not consistently related to ideological attitudes. Theoretic implications as well as consequences for working women are discussed.
- ItemConsensus and dissent in historical memory and in attitudes toward reparation in three generations of chileansConsenso y disenso en la memoria histórica y en las actitudes hacia la reparación en tres generaciones de chilenos(2013) Carvacho H.; Manzi J.; Haye A.; González R.; Cornejo M.In 2 correlational studies conducted in Santiago de Chile (N1 = 996 and N2 = 841)-with samples based on quotas of socioeconomic status, age, and gender-2 hypotheses were tested: (a) that Chileans socialized in different political context (before, during or after the dictatorship) and who have different political orientations (left, center or right) exhibit consensus in their historical memory, but differ concerning the evaluation of reparation policies toward victims of the dictatorship, and (b) that ideological attitudes (authoritarianism, support for democracy, and orientation towards social dominance) explain differences in the evaluation of the reparation policies. Analysis of an open question showed consensus between generations and between political groups about considering the coup d'état in 1973 and the transition to democracy as the central elements of Chilean political history. Results of structural equation modeling showed that political groups differ in their evaluation of reparation policies (with the left being more supportive). Dissent was explained by the ideological attitudes underlying the left-right distinction. © 2013 by Psykhe.
- ItemLadies First: Gender Stereotypes Drive Anticipatory Eye-Movements During Incremental Sentence Interpretation(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2021) Guerra E.; Bernotat J.; Bernotat J.; Bohner G.; Carvacho H.© Copyright © 2021 Guerra, Bernotat, Carvacho and Bohner.Immediate contextual information and world knowledge allow comprehenders to anticipate incoming language in real time. The cognitive mechanisms that underlie such behavior are, however, still only partially understood. We examined the novel idea that gender attitudes may influence how people make predictions during sentence processing. To this end, we conducted an eye-tracking experiment where participants listened to passive-voice sentences expressing gender-stereotypical actions (e.g., “The wood is being painted by the florist”) while observing displays containing both female and male characters representing gender-stereotypical professions (e.g., florists, soldiers). In addition, we assessed participants’ explicit gender-related attitudes to explore whether they might predict potential effects of gender-stereotypical information on anticipatory eye movements. The observed gaze pattern reflected that participants used gendered information to predict who was agent of the action. These effects were larger for female- vs. male-stereotypical contextual information but were not related to participants’ gender-related attitudes. Our results showed that predictive language processing can be moderated by gender stereotypes, and that anticipation is stronger for female (vs. male) depicted characters. Further research should test the direct relation between gender-stereotypical sentence processing and implicit gender attitudes. These findings contribute to both social psychology and psycholinguistics research, as they extend our understanding of stereotype processing in multimodal contexts and regarding the role of attitudes (on top of world knowledge) in language prediction.
- ItemPsicología y Pueblos Indígenas(Annual Reviews Inc., 2022) González R.; Carvacho H.; Jiménez-Moya G.© 2022 Annual Reviews Inc.. All rights reserved.La pregunta sobre la existencia de características comunes inherentes a la psicología de los pueblos Indígenas de todo el mundo ha sido objeto de mucho debate. Nosotros argumentamos que los pueblos Indígenas comparten la experiencia de la colonización, así como sus consecuencias sociales y psicológicas. Desarrollamos este argumento en cuatro secciones: (a) La historia global de la colonización y las desigualdades sociales; (b) aspectos relativos a la identidad y los procesos grupales, incluidas la transmisión intergeneracional de valores compartidos, la conexión con la naturaleza y la promoción del cambio social; (c) el prejuicio y la discriminación hacia los pueblos Indígenas y el rol que juegan los procesos psicológicos para promover relaciones positivas entre los pueblos Indígenas y no-Indígenas; y (d) el impacto del trauma histórico y del colonialismo en la cognición, la salud mental y el bienestar de los pueblos Indígenas, así como la base para el desarrollo de intervenciones exitosas que integran los conocimientos Indígenas. Por último, abordamos los desafíos futuros de la investigación sobre estos temas.
- ItemPsychology and Indigenous People(Annual Reviews Inc., 2022) González R.; Carvacho H.; Jiménez-Moya G.© 2022 Annual Reviews Inc.. All rights reserved.Whether there are common features inherent to the psychology of Indigenous peoples around the globe has been the subject of much debate. We argue that Indigenous peoples share the experience of colonization and its social and psychological consequences. We develop this argument across four sections: (a) the global history of colonization and social inequalities; (b) aspects concerning identity and group processes, including the intergenerational transmission of shared values, the connection with nature, and the promotion of social change; (c) prejudice and discrimination toward Indigenous peoples and the role of psychological processes to improve relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples; and (d) the impact of historical trauma and colonialism on dimensions including cognition, mental health, and the well-being of Indigenous peoples as well as the basis for successful interventions that integrate Indigenous knowledge. Finally, we address future challenges for research on these topics.
- ItemThe dynamic socioecological model of economic inequality and psychological tendencies: A cycle of mutual constitution(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2023) Gobel M.S.; Carvacho H.© 2023 The Authors. Social and Personality Psychology Compass published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Economic inequality is one of the defining challenges of our era. Social science research links higher levels of economic inequality to a range of undesirable outcomes, including more crime, social anomie, and ill health. Social psychological research is at the forefront of investigating how economic inequality shapes the human mind and behavior, but it has mostly focused on explaining how economic inequality at the societal level causes individual level manifestations. In this review, we reconceptualize economic inequality as a dynamic system, and we adopt a socioecological perspective to explain how economic inequality and psychological tendencies mutually constitute each other. First, we show how the psychological experience of economic inequality is afforded by social and physical environments that people interact with. Next, we show that through mechanisms such as norm formation, individuals and institutions can maintain or change economic inequality. Our socioecological perspective highlights the self-reinforcing cycle of economic inequality and individual behavior, and it discusses to what extent lived experiences and psychological manifestations of economic inequality may differ across economic strata. We end by discussing the implications of our model for the research agenda in the social psychology of economic inequality.
- ItemTrust in political institutions in Chile: A model of the main components of trust judgmentsConfianza en instituciones políticas en Chile: Un modelo de los componentes centrales de juicios de confianza(2008) Segovia C.; Haye A.; González R.; Manzi J.; Carvacho H.Citizen's trust in political institutions is important for democracies. However, there are doubts regarding the nature of trust judgments. We argue that trust judgments concerning political institutions centrally involve the consideration of both the preparation and resources of the institutions that enable it to fulfill its goals (capacity), and the orientation of such goals toward the wellbeing of citizens (benevolence). Results are based on a survey carried out in Santiago, Chile, during 2005 on 996 people. We conclude that both capacity and benevolence are strong predictors of trust and that, beyond the direct influence of each of them, they also have a joint effect on trust judgments.
