This study explores the coexistence challenges among Buenos Aires subway passengers. It focuses on analyzing coexistence problems, perceptions, and participation in conflicts, as well as tolerance towards norm deviations. An online survey with 768 riders revealed that conflicts among passengers reproduce violence and create a social climate of mistreatment, normalizing disrespectful behaviors. Participants reported a stressful environment leading to contradictory behaviors: they are both vigilant and detached, paying less attention to others’ needs and more tolerance towards uncivil behavior. The findings suggest that the lack of adherence to social norms exacerbates the tense atmosphere, highlighting the need for better regulation and enforcement to improve passenger coexistence.

Los medios digitales posibilitan la aparición de distintas actividades que proveen de nuevas formas de participar en la vida social y política. Internet permite llegar a grupos que son normalmente inactivos o menos activos en las formas convencionales u offline de la participación política. Se buscó explorar la influencia que la frecuencia de conexión a Internet, la participación social Internet y la discusión política (hablar de política) tienen sobre la participación política en Internet en tres generaciones distintas (n=502, edad: 18-67). Los más jóvenes presentan mayor frecuencia de conexión y de realización de actividades en Internet mientras que el grupo generacional de mayor edad exhibe mayor frecuencia de discusión política. Tomadas en un nivel general las tres variables planteadas son relevantes para explicar actividad política en Internet, sin embargo, el pes...

Digital media allows the emergence of different activities that provide new ways to participate in social and political life. The Internet allows reaching groups that are normally inactive or less active in conventional or offline forms of political participation. We sought to explore the influence that frequency of Internet connection, Internet social participation and political discussion (talk about politics) have on political participation on the Internet in three different generations (n = 502, age: 18-67). The youngest participants presented a higher frequency of connection and activities on the Internet, while the older generational group exhibited a greater frequency of political discussion. In general , the three variables are relevant to explain political activity on the Internet; however, the weight of each variable is different depending on the generation considered.

Based on the Evaluative Model of Normative Appeals (EMNA), we designed a diagnosis tool that allows forecasting the extent to which employees may comply with a set of norms. We first performed two cross-sectional studies to apply the tool within a general sample of workers (Study 1, N = 382) and within a sample of employees of a specific organization (Study 2, N = 82). Two months later we tested in the same organization (Study 3, N = 80) whether the willingness to comply with a set of normative appeals was aligned with the diagnosis generated in Study 2. The results support the validity of the tool to diagnose the perception of and willingness to comply with normative appeals.

The influence of the context on behavioral and emotional reactions to a war crime situation military cadets (N = 315) is analyzed. The study is based on Milgram’s experience and the tragedy of My Lai.It examines personal and peer obedience to an anti-normative order (asking participants whether they would obey an order to shoot unarmed civilians) in five vignettes or scenarios that reproduce Milgram’s conditions and MyLai scenario. This is an experimental between-within study of five scenarios by two conditions (Milgram, 1974). Personal and collective obedience of other military, emotional reactions and values of Schwartz (2012) were measured. Showing enhancement of self-bias it is reported that the pairs would be more likely to shoot than one would. Replicating Milgrams’s results, obedience is greater when the order is given directly by an authority, and lower when there is c...

Se analiza la influencia del contexto en las reacciones conductuales y emocionales ante una situación de crimen de guerra en cadetes militares (N = 315). El estudio se basa en la experiencia de Milgram y en la tragedia de My Lai. Examina la obediencia personal y de los compañeros ante una orden antinormativa (preguntando a los participantes si obedecerían una orden de disparar a civiles desarmados) en cinco viñetas o escenarios que reproducen las condiciones de Milgram y el escenario de MyLai. Se trata de un estudio experimental entre dos escenarios por dos condiciones (Milgram, 1974). Se midió la obediencia personal y colectiva de otros militares, las reacciones emocionales y los valores de Schwartz (2012). Mostrando el aumento de la auto-prejuicio se informa de que los pares serían más propensos a disparar que uno. Replicando los resultados de Milgram, la obediencia es mayor cua...
