Coastal zones are complex systems where sustainability needs local participative governance, whose absence may
result in conflicts between social actors. In its absence, the first step should be a diagnosis of the current situation
based on integrative conceptual frameworks such as the DPSIR. However, in conflicting situations, the generated
model...
This chapter provides insight into the achievements and weaknesses of the Chilean transition and its relationship with recent social mobilizations and the present and future of its democracy. We begin by describing the main achievements of the transition, followed by its major shortcomings and how the social unrest (generated by the unresolved issu...
Se presenta el diseño y validación inicial de un test de intereses profesionales con fines de orientación vocacional para estudiantes secundarios chilenos de colegios públicos científico-humanistas. Se revisan antecedentes sobre intereses profesionales, la perspectiva de la teoría sociocognitiva de carrera y consideraciones acerca de los instrument...
El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo identificar el rol de la clase social en la participación o no participación de las personas en acciones de protesta, en el marco de las movilizaciones socioambientalistas, llevadas a cabo el año 2016 en la Isla de Chiloé, en el sur de Chile. Para esto, se realizó un estudio cuantitativo transversal, aplicándo...
The recent literature on social movements has highlighted the fundamental role of leaders in their emergency and development. One of the most important discussions in this regard has focused on understanding the relationship between agency and structure in the context of collective protests. Using conceptual tools proposed by Bourdieu (1986), it ha...
The Chiloé Island, located in Southern Chile, is worldwide known for its culture, originated in the syncretism between ancestral groups and colonizers, and molded through the interactions with the isolated ecosystems and extreme weather conditions. In this chapter, we analyze the state of the island’s social-ecological systems, the drivers (direct...
El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el nivel de coincidencia existente entre las demandas pedagógicas que el Modelo de Formación por Competencias (MFC) hace a los docentes universitarios y las que expresan los estudiantes. Se ha construido un modelo de lo que constituiría un «Docente Universitario Competente» según el MFC, para compara...
Este artículo reporta los hallazgos de una investigación acerca de la presencia de patrones de género en las respuestas de estudiantes universitarios chilenos a un Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Docencia (CED). Se analizaron 9.132 cuestionarios, los que fueron aplicados a alumnos de una facultad de Ciencias Sociales utilizando estadística multiva...
With the objective of theoretically and psychometrically updating the Regional Identity Scale (RIS) proposed by Zúñiga and Asún in 2004 and expanding the population for which it shows evidence of validity, a revision and revalidation of this instrument was performed via two studies. The first study included 1,113 university students from four regio...
Tomando en cuenta la relevancia de que los estudiantes de Pedagogía tengan creencias positivas acerca de su futura eficacia como docentes y la ausencia de instrumentos validados en la población chilena que midan dicho constructo, en esta investigación se realizó la validación convergente y factorial de la Escala de Creencias de Eficacia en la Enseñ...
The idea that item response theory (IRT) models yield invariant parameter estimates is widely accepted among scholars interested in achieving truly scientific measurements in social and behavioral sciences. Starting from a conceptual and mathematical definition of invariance, this article presents a critical examination of the theoretical and empir...
La presente investigación muestra y discute las ventajas empíricas de emplear herramientas estadísticas modernas (i.e., correlaciones policóricas, análisis factorial de ítems y modelos de ecuaciones estructurales) específicamente desarrollados para analizar variables latentes medidas con ítems ordinales categóricos, y compara estos procedimientos c...
This study compares the performance of two approaches in analysing four-point Likert rating scales with a factorial model: the classical factor analysis (FA) and the item factor analysis (IFA). For FA, maximum likelihood and weighted least squares estimations using Pearson correlation matrices among items are compared. For IFA, diagonally weighted...

El presente trabajo se propone estudiar la relación entre los procesos de identificación grupal y discriminación intergrupal, a través del estudio de un caso idiosincrático, como es la relación entre la identidad nacional y las identidades regionales en Chile, desde la perspectiva de la Teoría de la Identidad Social. Vara ello aplicó un cuestionari...
The objective of present study was to assess the capability of the Social Identity Model (MISM) and of the Psychosocial Motives Model (MMP) to explain participation in regionalist social protests in Chile. We applied a survey in a representative sample of 1200 subjects over 18 years old living in four regions of the country. Results from multiple l...
This research was aimed to determine the level of matching between the pedagogical demands the Competencies Formation Model (CFM) puts on university teachers and those expressed by university students. For this, we have constructed a model of what would constitute a "Competent University Teacher" according to CFM and compared it to discourses of st...
A case study of social identity is analyzed, the Magallanic identity, to discover the elements that are important for the social identity theory in general, as well as the distinctive qualities and meanings of this particular regional identity. Research was conducted on a representative sample of the region's university student population, because...

The aim of this paper is to describe how students from the Social Sciences Faculty at Universidad de Chile conceptualize a "proper teacher". After verifying the low production of Chilean studies about the subject, six focus groups with students of this faculty were created and analysed. The results indicate that student's demands are wide, diverse,...
This article presents the results of a research project on subjective integration and its association to perception of institutional support among secondary students in Santiago, Chile, using psychosocial alienation and anomie constructs. Intermediate levels of general alienation and high levels in lack of social cohesion were found. Institutions t...
The present study is about the social integration of young people, in this case, through the concepts of alienation and psychosocial anomie, addressing the normative condition posed by the social world, in objective, institutionalized and subjective aspects such as the relationship of the individual with respect to «the others» and the «other» in a...
Self-categorization theory explicitly recognizes the possibility that distinct identities have "nested" relationships among themselves, so that there is no incompatibility or conflict among them, as they are located at different levels of abstraction for the subjects. Our objective was to test this premise through the study of an idiosyncratic case...
In a sample of Chilean students in their last year of high school (N = 343) anomie and psychosocial alienation were measured with a questionnaire validated in an analogous study done in 1989. This study compared the results of 1989 with those of 2007. This comparison contributes to the psychosocial characterization of social and normative integrati...

A pesar de sus ventajas en la investigación psicométrica, la Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem (TRI) no ha logrado imponerse en la práctica cotidiana de medición de constructos psicológicos o actitudes sociales. En esta investigación se muestra la utilidad de trabajar con modelos de TRI politómicos a través de su comparación con la Teoría Clásica, al est...
Despite its advantages in psychometric research, Item Response Theory (IRT) has not been regularly used in the measurement of psychological constructs or social attitudes. This study used a scale of intolerance to demonstrate the usefulness of working with polytomous models of IRT in comparison with the Classical Test Theory to study attitudes. It...
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue diseñar y validar una escala tipo Likert para medir identidad regional. Para esto se aplicó un instrumento de 38 ítems a 249 estudiantes seleccionados en forma aleatoria de las universidades de la Región de la Araucanía, Chile. Utilizando el análisis de ítems, el cálculo de la fiabilidad del instrumento...
