The aim of this study was to analyze the perceptions and acculturation preferences of teachers toward young Moroccans and Romanians using quantitative and qualitative methodology. The quantitative study involved 181 teachers from Spanish public schools (56% female) who evaluated young Moroccans (N = 101) and Romanians (N = 80). In the qualitative s...
Carnism is an ideology that supports meat consumption using arguments known as the three Ns: natural, necessary, and normal. Subsequently, the argument of'nice' was added to these Ns, so the 3Ns became the 4Ns. The primary objective of this study was to improve the Spanish version of the 4N Scale, the most widely used scale to measure this concepti...
Introducción: Los estereotipos son creencias socialmente compartidas sobre los grupos sociales, cruciales para comprender las relaciones intergrupales. El campo de estudio de la Interacción Humano-Animal ha cobrado especial importancia en la investigación reciente, donde se enmarca a los animales como otro grupo social sujeto a una evaluación que g...
Recent research indicates that the same ingroup–outgroup disposition responsible for the psychological representation of human–human relations can be applied to human–animal relations. This work aimed to study the differences between general attitudes toward animals and specific attitudes toward different animal categories (pets, pests, and profita...
People consider animals differently depending on the role society gives them (e.g., companionship, food). Currently, most studies developed in the human-animal interaction field focus on the attitudes toward animals in general, disregarding attitudes toward specific animal categories. The studies that make this distinction emphasize the relationshi...
Two studies were conducted to investigate the role of the morality dimension in the prejudice towards a group of Roma (the Romanian Roma) in comparison with other immigrants (Moroccan and Romanian immigrants). Since prejudice towards Romanian Roma is a subject that is still underexplored, Study 1 describes stereotype content (in terms of morality,...
This study aimed to analyze the relationship among different evaluative reactions of the intergroup attitudes and contact in Spanish adolescents evaluating different ethnic minorities and in immigrant-background adolescents evaluating Spanish youth. This study was based on psychosocial models of great impact in the study of intergroup relations suc...
La creencia de que algunos animales son más valiosos que otros (especismo) se ve influida por un sistema de creencias que legitima el matar animales para su consumo recurriendo a una serie de justificaciones (carnismo). Piazza y colaboradores crearon una escala (Escala 4N) para recoger esta variable, en la que engloban estas justificaciones en las...
In the study of human-animal relationships, it is common to use measures of general attitudes toward animals. However, it is possible that those general attitudes toward animals only reflect specific attitudes toward precise categories of animals, such as pets, profitable animals, along with others. It is therefore relevant to have measures that ca...
This study analyzes the psychometric properties of a Spanish adaptation of two of the most widely used instruments for the measurement of the general attitudes toward animals: Animal Attitude Scale (AAS; there are three versions of 20, 10, and 5 items) and Speciesism Scale (SS). The Spanish adaptation of both scales followed the guidelines of the I...
The importance of assessing the morality of the out-group or their members has undoubted adaptive value. Morality is related to the perceived intentions of others toward us and/or our in-group (whether they pose harm or benefit). When we evaluate the morality of an out-group, our thoughts are quicker, more extreme, and more strongly associated with...
The objective of this study was to analyse the relationship between variables of the family context (perceived family support, quality of parent–adolescent communication and family ethnic socialisation) and the acculturation process (perceptions and preferences of cultural maintenance and adoption) among adolescents of Moroccan origin living in Spa...
Speciesism can be seen as an ideology in which humans appear intrinsically more valuable than
individuals of other species. In the human-nonhuman animal relationship, our treatment or use
of animals can be considered an indicator of the general attitude toward them. Actually, one
of the most widely used measures to assess the general attitude towar...
The literature has shown that the dimensions of social perception used to explain human-human
relationships could also be used to explain human-animal relationships. In recent years, there
has been growing interest of attitudes towards different targets from a network perspective.
From the Causal Attitude Network Model, attitudes are conceptualized...
En este capítulo, trataremos los procesos de aculturación que experimentan las personas y grupos como resultado de su contacto con personas y grupos de culturas diferentes, así como su relación con distintas variables clave en el estudio de las relaciones
intergrupales, como el prejuicio.
La investigación sobre el proceso de aculturación puede co...
El Modelo Ampliado de Aculturación Relativa (MAAR) propone distintos ámbitos de la realidad sociocultural (político, bienestar social, laboral, económico, social, familiar, religioso y de valores) que pueden clasificarse en ámbitos públicos-periféricos o privados-centrales según el grado de preferencia en mantener la cultura de origen y adoptar la...
Although the relationship between stereotypes and acculturation preferences has been previously studied from the majority perspective among adults, the perspective of adolescents and minority groups is understudied. This research analyzed the contribution of four stereotype dimensions (i.e., morality, immorality, sociability, and competence) to the...
Several studies have emphasized the heterogeneity of fibromyalgia patients. Furthermore, fibromyalgia patients are considered a high-risk suicide group. The ideation-to-action framework proposes a set of transdiagnostic psychological factors involved in the development of suicidal ideation. The present study aims to explore the existence of differe...
En el campo de estudio de las actitudes humano-animal, no solo es importante la actitud general hacia los animales, sino también la especie o categoría a la que pertenecen. El objetivo del presente estudio es tratar de establecer perfiles actitudinales en función de las actitudes de las personas hacia los animales en general y sus actitudes hacia c...
El contenido estereotípico relacionado con la moralidad ha mostrado ser de gran importancia para la generación de evaluaciones tanto sobre personas (de forma individual) como sobre grupos de personas. Este trabajo pretende extender el estudio de estas evaluaciones al contexto de las relaciones humano-animal. El objetivo del presente trabajo es anal...
The presence of adolescents with immigrant backgrounds in Spain is a structural phenomenon with major implications and challenges for intergroup coexistence. The purpose of this study is to analyse the possible existence of psychosocial profiles in these adolescents. Using latent class cluster models (LCCM), profiles were identified where these ado...
