This research examined how direct and extended intergroup contact can promote reconciliation in the aftermath of the Liberian civil wars (N = 181 refugees). We measured intergroup contact and attitudes toward each of the 16 ethnic groups in Liberia, and used multilevel analyses to investigate the relation between contact and attitudes toward each o...
Este número de MIDEvidencias reporta los datos de la encuesta Foco Ciudadano de MIDE Sociedad, realizada en diciembre de 2015 a personas entre 18 y 64 años de zonas urbanas de Chile. La encuesta indagó los diferentes tipos de participación política en Chile, y cómo dicha participación se relaciona con diferentes manifestaciones de descontento respe...
The influence of social norms in the context of intergroup relations has long been recognized by social psychologists, yet research on intergroup contact and social norms have usually remained disconnected. We explored the influence of direct and indirect friendship on attitudes towards ethnic minorities in Norway, and in particular the role of in-...
This paper reports a study which analyzes attitudes and orientations of a group with growing significance in Chilean politics: people who do not identify with political parties or coalitions. The study was organized around a set of hypotheses derived from Social Identity Theory and previous research on generalized political attitudes. Participants...
Knowing that fellow ingroup members have cross-group contact can affect how people think, feel, and behave towards an out-group. Previous research on extended contact focused almost exclusively on positive cross-group interactions, neglecting the fact that extended contact can also be negative. In this contribution, we introduce negative extended c...
Studies on the influence of family and school climates on the relationships between sibling and school bullying victimization and children’s subjective well-being (SWB) in Indonesia are still scarce. The aims of this study are to investigate family and school climates as protective factors for children from the negative consequences of bullying by...
Adolescent mental health research highlights the importance of individual strengths and well-being, which have been organized by different conceptual models. The covitality model is one example that proposes a meta-construct integrating different domains. Even though some prior research examines the relationship between covitality and bullying, the...
Gender attitudes are of interest to psychology due to their correlation with various risk behaviors such as aggressive behavior among adolescents, greater violence in their romantic relationships, perpetration of physical violence against the female partner and homophobic attacks. In Chile, gender attitudes are of public concern due to the rates of...
Bullying among adolescents is associated with different mental health issues, for both victims and aggressors. This association has been evidenced in different contexts, but its relationship to other aspects of schooling, such as school climate, have not always been considered. The purpose of this study was to examine how school climate—as perceive...
Student participation has been associated with positive student outcomes, such as civic development, an active public life, and prosocial behaviors. However, the impact of student participation in other areas of student development remains unexplored. Here, we hypothesized that students’ participation in the functioning of schools might also improv...
This paper presents a qualitative study carried out with young people from four excluded neighborhoods in Santiago de Chile: La Legua, José María Caro, Lo Hermida and Los Robles. The methodological design involved a variety of data production techniques, allowing us to identify the subjective narratives of their inhabitants, as well as the external...
Este número de MIDEvidencias reporta los resultados de un módulo de la encuesta Foco Ciudadano de MIDE Sociedad, en el que nos enfocamos en caracterizar el uso de Internet y redes sociales en la población chilena, explorando las creencias, motivaciones y temores asociados a este uso, y su relación con aspectos relativos con el bienestar psicológico...
Múltiples investigaciones internacionales han mostrado que estudiantes de grupos minoritarios se ven enfrentados a situaciones que pueden generar estrés por aculturación, producto de desafíos identitarios y una acumulación de experiencias discriminatorias. En este contexto, la literatura muestra claros indicadores del efecto de estos procesos en el...
La educación constituye una dimensión central para el desarrollo personal y social. Aunque ciertamente es vista como un ambiente privilegiado para la transformación social, también puede ser vista como un contexto de reproducción social.
Cada día es más difícil ignorar los grandes niveles de contaminación ambiental en nuestro país, por lo que generar un cambio en las actitudes y conductas de nuestra sociedad en relación al medioambiente es fundamental. En el presente número de Midevidencias, exploramos la manera en que las disposiciones y creencias individuales, el entorno comunita...
La educación constituye una dimensión central para el desarrollo personal y social. Aunque ciertamente es vista como un ambiente privilegiado para la transformación social, también puede ser vista como un contexto de reproducción social. Esto es especialmente saliente en Chile, un país con niveles muy altos de desigualdad económica que se ve reflej...

This article tests a longitudinal model of the antecedents and consequences of changes in identification with indigenous (Mapuche) among indigenous and nonindigenous youth in Chilean school contexts over a 6-month period (633 nonindigenous and 270 Mapuche students, Mages = 12.47 and 12.80 years, respectively). Results revealed that in-group norms s...
El propósito de este trabajo es analizar el efecto que tiene el contacto intergrupal, es decir, el contacto entre distintos grupos sociales, en la reducción del prejuicio y en la generación de actitudes positivas entre dichos grupos. Concretamente, nos centramos en el efecto de dicho contacto entre niños/as de distintos grupos que comparten y convi...
This research tests how perceived school and peer norms predict interethnic experiences among ethnic minority and majority youth. With studies in Chile (654 nonindigenous and 244 Mapuche students, M = 11.20 and 11.31 years) and the United States (468 non-Hispanic White and 126 Latino students, M = 11.66 and 11.68 years), cross-sectional results sho...
Peer relations constitute a main developmental context for adolescents. Peers offer an instance for identity definition and set the norms of acceptable and valued characteristics, behaviors, and attitudes, representing a societal model that allows and restrains avenues for adolescents' socioemotional development. The present article departs from th...
Este trabajo presenta en primer lugar una discusión que tiene por objetivo explorar posibilidades de integración entre la literatura sobre efectos de barrio y la literatura de contacto intergrupal. Esta integración se basa fundamentalmente en el estudio de la micro-ecología del contacto intergrupal, que representa un punto de conexión entre estas t...

Integrated education can reduce intergroup prejudice by enhancing contact. In this area, most research has measured explicit attitudes using self-report questionnaires, but only few studies have measured implicit attitudes . This article aims to evaluate both types of attitudes toward People with Down syndrome (PWDS). Eighty Chilean pupils (11-15 y...

La integración escolar puede disminuir el prejuicio entre sus miembros a través del contacto. En esta área, las investigaciones suelen utilizar medidas explícitas pero son escasas las que han usado mediciones implícitas. En este artículo se pretende evaluar ambos tipos de actitudes hacia las personas con síndrome de...
The main argument developed in this thesis is that individuals are not only affected by their own experiences of intergroup contact, but also by the contact they perceive is occurring around them. A pivotal reason for this is a change in the perception of ingroup norms regarding intergroup interactions, which can shape intergroup attitudes and make...
The present research demonstrates a dissociation between explicit and implicit intergroup evaluation in the reciprocal attitudes between indigenous (Mapuche) and non-indigenous Chileans. In both social groups, the explicit measures of attitudes towards the respective in-group and out-group were compared with the Implicit Association Test scores. Th...
We propose the Category-Focus IAT (CF-IAT) as an instrument to measure the implicit associations of single concepts. The CF-IAT directs respondents’ attention to a subset of the experimental materials. In a first study using the CF-IAT, Chilean adolescents (N = 49), members of either the indigenous minority (Mapuche) or the nonindigenous majority,...
The effects of school inclusion programs on male and female nondisabled students' stereotypes and attitudes toward people with Down syndrome were studied. Nondisabled students (11–15 years of age) from schools with and without inclusion programs reported positive and negative attitudes toward people with Down syndrome. As hypothesized, girls and st...
This paper reports a survey (N = 1,465) conducted in Chile that was conceived to understand the role of coalition identification as an important sociopsychological mechanism for promoting positive affects toward own-coalition party members in a multiparty system, above and beyond interparty political differences. Participants judged their own polit...
