This article analyzes the relationship between successful dealing with deviant acts (i.e., acts of corruption) and social cohesion. We conducted an experimental research with 148 university students based on the subjective group dynamics theory. We informed the research participants of some corruption cases in Chile (ingroup) and Argentina (outgroup) during the last year, with two modes of efficiency in their legal control: high efficiency (95% of the cases were judged and sanctioned) and low efficiency (5% of the cases were judged and sanctioned). The mediational analysis shows that the induced ingroup effectiveness causes a better emotional climate, greater perceived collective efficiency in dealing with deviance, increases confidence in social control and reinforces national identification. We conducted a comparative analysis with a sample of Portuguese university students, finding th...

Este artículo revisa la definición de corrupción y sus correlatos individuales, macro y micro sociales. En un estudio de campo experimental con una muestra representativa peruana (N= 1,254), se informó a los participantes de una gestión jurídica del control de la corrupción de alta eficacia (un 95% de los casos fueron juzgados y sancionados) versus un control de baja eficacia (solo un 5% fue juzgado y sancionado). La información inducida sobre la eficacia en el control y sanción de la corrupción provocó una mayor percepción de eficacia colectiva para tratar la desviación y una mejor balanza de clima socioemocional en el grupo de alta eficacia. La inducción experimental de mayor eficacia interactuó con el interés en la política y produjo mayor percepción de eficacia en el control de corrupción y mejor balanza de clima socioemocional en las personas de alto interés. Adi...

The aim of this study is to explore the patterns of emotion recognition in Mexican bilinguals using the JACFEE (Matsumoto & Ekman, 1988). Previous cross cultural research has documented high agreement in judgments of facial expressions of emotion, however, none of the previous studies has included data from Mexican culture. Participants were 229 Mexican college students (mean age 21.79). Results indicate that each of the seven universal emotions: anger, contempt, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise was recognized by the participants above chance levels (p < .001), regardless of the gender or ethnicity of the posers. These findings replicate reported data on the high cross cultural agreement in emo- tion recognition (Ekman, 1994) and contribute to the increasing body of evidence regardingthe universality of emotions.

This article reviews the definition of corruption and its individual, macro and micro-social correlates. In an experimental field study with a representative Peruvian sample (N = 1254), participants were informed of a highly effective legal management of corruption control (95% of cases were tried and punished) versus a control of low efficacy (only 5% were tried and punished). The induced information on the effectiveness in the control and sanction of corruption led to a greater perception of collective efficacy in dealing with deviation and a better balance of socio-emotional climate in the high-efficacy group. The most effective experimental induction interacted with interest in politics and produced a greater percep-tion of efficacy in the control of corruption and a better balance of socio-emotional climate in people of high interest. Additionally, it is observed that the ident...

The following meta-analytic review focuses on the relationship between social capital and mental health in the migrant population. Based on 15 studies, with 23 samples and N = 24,000 subjects, a random effect of r = .188 (CI = .121 to .254) was found, explaining 3.5% of variance on wellbeing in comparison to 1% explained by biculturalism as strategy of acculturation. The impact of social capital is greatest on psychological well-being, medium on mental health, and least on subjective well-being. The impact of subjective cognitive measurements is greater than that of structural and mesosocial measures. The effect is greater in men, in older immigrants and in employees. The results confirm that the social capital seems to play a protective role in migrant populations’ mental health and well-being.
