Item type:Publication, Cybersociety and university sustainability: The challenge of holistic restructuring in universities in Chile, Spain, and Peru(MDPI, 2020-07-02)The global challenge of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals present a framework of opportunities, in which universities must respond to the demands of a sustainable social organisation by addressing the issues of quality education, the participation and inclusion of different sectors, and the need to promote university social responsibility. In response to this situation, we examine three experiences that highlight the reorganisation demanded at each of the three organisational levels: (1) Macro: the need for cooperation between different universities in Chile’s “macrocampus”; (2) Meso: the organisation and running of faculties in light of the challenges to renew curriculums with the experience implemented by the Social Sciences Faculty of Pablo de Olavide University in Spain; and, (3) Micro: the integration of students and commitment to the needs of the social surroundings, with the E-QUIPU experience implemented at Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) in Peru. The report we present is based on a case study, and the findings and conclusions lead us to propose a new holistic-organisational paradigm to facilitate the sustainability of universities. The results of the restructuring allowed us to conduct a meta-evaluation of the sustainability of organisations within a problematic situation (COVID-19), which tested the results of the restructuring objective of Cybersociety.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dimensions of wisdom perception across twelve countries on five continents(Nature Research, 2024-12-01)Wisdom is the hallmark of social judgment, but how people across cultures recognize wisdom remains unclear—distinct philosophical traditions suggest different views of wisdom’s cardinal features. We explore perception of wise minds across 16 socio-economically and culturally diverse convenience samples from 12 countries. Participants assessed wisdom exemplars, non-exemplars, and themselves on 19 socio-cognitive characteristics, subsequently rating targets’ wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Analyses reveal two positively related dimensions—Reflective Orientation and Socio-Emotional Awareness. These dimensions are consistent across the studied cultural regions and interact when informing wisdom ratings: wisest targets—as perceived by participants—score high on both dimensions, whereas the least wise are not reflective but moderately socio-emotional. Additionally, individuals view themselves as less reflective but more socio-emotionally aware than most wisdom exemplars. Our findings expand folk psychology and social judgment research beyond the Global North, showing how individuals perceive desirable cognitive and socio-emotional qualities, and contribute to an understanding of mind perception. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Economic Well-Being of Nations Is Associated with Positive Daily Situational Experiences(Elsevier B.V., 2023-01-01)People in economically advantaged nations tend to evaluate their life as more positive overall and report greater well-being than people in less advantaged nations. But how does positivity manifest in the daily life experiences of individuals around the world? The present study asked 15,244 college students from 62 nations, in 42 languages, to describe a situation they experienced the previous day using the Riverside Situational Q-sort (RSQ). Using expert ratings, the overall positivity of each situation was calculated for both nations and individuals. The positivity of the average situation in each nation was strongly related to the economic development of the nation as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). For individuals’ daily experiences, the economic status of their nation also predicted the positivity of their experience, even more than their family socioeconomic status. Further analyses revealed the specific characteristics of the average situations for higher HDI nations that make their experiences more positive. Higher HDI was associated with situational experiences involving humor, socializing with others, and the potential to express emotions and fantasies. Lower HDI was associated with an increase in the presence of threats, blame, and hostility, as well as situational experiences consisting of family, religion, and money. Despite the increase in a few negative situational characteristics in lower HDI countries, the overall average experience still ranged from neutral to slightly positive, rather than negative, suggesting that greater HDI may not necessarily increase positive experiences but rather decrease negative experiences. The results illustrate how national economic status influences the lives of individuals even within a single instance of daily life, with large and powerful consequences when accumulated across individuals within each nation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Emotion Regulation Strategies and Psychological Health Across Cultures(American Psychological Association, 2023-11-16)Emotion regulation is important for psychological health and can be achieved by implementing various strategies. How one regulates emotions is critical for maximizing psychological health. Few studies, however, tested the psychological correlates of different emotion regulation strategies across multiple cultures. In a preregistered cross-cultural study (N = 3,960, 19 countries), conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we assessed associations between the use of seven emotion regulation strategies (situation selection, distraction, rumination, cognitive reappraisal, acceptance, expressive suppression, and emotional support seeking) and four indices of psychological health (life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and loneliness). Model comparisons based on Bayesian information criteria provided support for cultural differences in 36% of associations, with very strong support for differences in 18% of associations. Strategies that were linked to worse psychological health in individualist countries (e.g., rumination, expressive suppression) were unrelated or linked to better psychological health in collectivist countries. Cultural differences in associations with psychological health were most prominent for expressive suppression and rumination and also found for distraction and acceptance. In addition, we found evidence for cultural similarities in 46% of associations between strategies and psychological health, but none of this evidence was very strong. Cultural similarities were most prominent in associations of psychological health with emotional support seeking. These findings highlight the importance of considering the cultural context to understand how individuals from diverse backgrounds manage unpleasant emotions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Kaleidoscopic Reflection on Territory and Property Histories, Cultures and Inequalities(University of Torino, 2023-12-31)The multiple meanings of Indigenous territory and property are explored here by means of a multidisciplinary lens. An ethnological journey through different geographies and times is undertaken to explain some property formation processes and illuminate how they unfold in the Andean region and, particularly, in Peru. Based on four core notions of anthropology—time, space, culture and power—Indigenous territory and property are described showing how land commodification has imposed detrimental effects on indigenous peoples. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Variations in Need Supports in Education as a Function of Cultural and Economic Factors: Perspectives from Self-Determination Theory(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025-12-01)Self-Determination Theory (SDT) posits that the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are universally essential to high-quality motivation and wellness in educational settings. A strong focus of SDT has been on the affordances and obstacles to supporting these basic needs, which can vary considerably between classrooms, schools, school systems, and cultures. In this review, we briefly review the evidence for SDT’s “universality without uniformity” claims, showing that the importance of these three basic psychological needs for student well-being and academic functioning is empirically well established across cultures. However, examining variability, our discussion focuses on how economic, societal, and cultural factors may impact parent and teacher practices and educational policies, affecting the extent to which learners’ basic needs are supported. Illustrating this, we describe the ways in which SDT has been received or applied in 10 different societal-cultural contexts. These observations suggest that as yet few countries have enacted educational policies with students’ basic needs in the forefront. Many instead emphasize practices and policies with little supportive evidence, such as pervasive grading, a focus on high-stakes testing, and limited content choice, factors that can lead to basic need frustration and disengagement for students and educators. Cultural ideologies can also create a bias against a focus on flourishing for all, and economic factors often limit teachers’ access to training and resources. Yet, some educational systems have incorporated SDT principles, and we identify factors that have contributed to this. We conclude by calling for a stronger focus on supporting learners’ basic psychological needs as part of both teacher training and educational policies.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Stakeholders' perceptions of an ethical crisis caused by employees and its impact on corporate image and reputation(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-09-05)The objective of this study is to understand and analyze the consequences of an ethical crisis caused by the unethical behavior of employees at a banking company, which demonstrates a lack of commitment and poor alignment with the organization's values. The research examines the perceptions of employees, clients and non-clients regarding the media crisis and the communication response provided by the company to its stakeholders. Finally, the research offers recommendations on how to effectively manage a media crisis. Design/methodology/approach The study analyzed, through 1,182 questionnaires, the perceptions of employees, clients and non-clients regarding the ethical crisis caused by the employees of a bank in Peru regarding the pre-sale of tickets for the Peru vs. Colombia match in the Russia 2018 qualifiers. The study was complemented by in-depth interviews with two key executives of the company. Findings The results showed that stakeholders react differently to the company's response to the crisis caused by employee misconduct. The study reflected that those who felt most affected by the incidents and perceived the crisis to be more serious were employees, as opposed to clients and non-clients. In addition, the results revealed significant differences in stakeholders' perceptions of how the company handled the crisis, with non-clients being the most critical. Research limitations/implications Although the case concerned a single company in Latin America, due to the media nature of the facts, there was diverse and important information that allowed us to analyze the internal part of the company and evaluate the impact of the crisis on the company's image and reputation outside the company, specifically with customers and non-customers. Likewise, the study proposed recommendations and communication strategies to respond to a crisis. Practical implications The research offered a series of recommendations consisting of a set of strategies for companies and their leaders to deal with business crises caused by negative employee behavior. Social implications The study analyzed how an ethical crisis situation can lead to a media crisis, which can damage the brand and the company's reputation. It can also have a social impact, since the marketing strategy with good intentions on the part of the banking company became a negative action at a social level, generating disorder, disbelief and discomfort in a matter of national interest, such as the match between the Peruvian and Colombian national football teams in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Originality/value The research analyzed the relationship between corporate culture and the creation of commitment in employees as a key tool to prevent possible business crises due to lack of trust and integrity of employees; which can prevent a possible crisis in the image and reputation of the company.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, I see sick people: Beliefs about sensory detection of infectious disease are largely consistent across cultures(Elsevier BV, 2025-08-01)Identifying cues to contagious disease is critical for effectively tracking and defending against interpersonal infection threats. People hold lay beliefs about the types of sensory information most relevant for identifying whether others are sick with transmissible illnesses. Are these beliefs universal, or do they vary along cultural and ecological dimensions? Participants in 58 countries (N = 19,217) judged how effective, and how likely they were to use, cues involving each of the five major sensory modalities in an imagined social interaction during a flu outbreak. Belief patterns were strongly consistent across countries (sight > audition > touch > smell > taste), suggesting a largely universal conceptualization of the role of sensory information for interpersonal respiratory disease detection. Results also support a safe senses hypothesis, with perceivers reporting that they would use senses that function at a distance—and thus reduce pathogen transmission risk—more than would be expected given participants’ beliefs as to the efficacy of these senses for disease detection. Where societal variation did emerge, it was captured by a cohesive set of socio-ecological factors, including human development, latitude, pathogen prevalence, and population density. Together, these findings reveal a shared lens through which contagious respiratory disease is assessed, one that prioritizes minimizing risk to perceivers, and may offer leverage for designing interventions to improve public health.4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Examining the connection between position-based power and social status across 70 cultures(Wiley, 2025-04-01)Even in the most egalitarian societies, hierarchies of power and status shape social life. However, power and received status are not synonymous-individuals in positions of power may or may not be accorded the respect corresponding to their role. Using a cooperatively collected dataset from 18,096 participants across 70 cultures, we investigate, through a survey-based correlational design, when perceived position-based power (operationalized as influence and control) of various powerholders is associated with their elevated social status (operationalized as perceived respect and instrumental social value). We document that the positive link between power and status characterizes most cultural regions, except for WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) and Post-Soviet regions. The strength of this association depends on individual and cultural factors. First, the perceived other-orientation of powerholders amplifies the positive link between perceived power and status. The perceived self-orientation of powerholders weakens this relationship. Second, among cultures characterized by low Self-Expression versus Harmony (e.g., South Korea, Taiwan), high Embeddedness (e.g., Senegal), and high Cultural Tightness (e.g., Malaysia), the association between power and status tends to be particularly strong. The results underline the importance of both individual perceptions and societal values in how position-based power relates to social status.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
