“…Experiences of victimization elicit a vast array of emotions that eventually lead to an increase in pro-social behaviors and other forms of individual and collective participation, such as those based on cultural and artistic activities (see e.g., Bateson, 2012 ; Dorff, 2017 ; Oosterhoff et al, 2018 ; Nussio, 2019 ). However, the potential influence of self-perceived victimization on cultural participation (see e.g., Reyes-Martínez et al, 2020 ) and the influence of some types of cultural participation on the effects of victimization have been scarcely supported (see e.g., Bustamante, 2017 ; Gaitán and Segura, 2017 ).…”

IntroductionConsidering the increasing incidence of crime in Mexico, it is necessary to understand the strategies that individuals utilize in response to victimization and the effects of this on their subjective well-being.MethodsA generalized structural equation modeling (GSEM) analysis with data from the 2012 Self-reported Well-Being Survey (BIARE, n = 10,654); dependent variables: subjective well-being (i.e., cognitive well-being and affective balance); independent variables: self-reported victimization (i.e., by domestic violence, community violence, and structural violence) and cultural participation (i.e., cultural attendance, engagement, and consumption).ResultsResults show an overall positive and statistical influence of the cultural participation activities on the subjective well-being of victims of community and structural violence (but not of domestic violence), because, for those who reported higher levels of cultural participation, the probability of better subjective well-being were higher.ConclusionsVictims potentially coped and adapted to stressful and traumatic situations (i.e., experiences of victimization) via cultural participation activities. However, there are distinctive effects according to different forms of violence, which may be accounted for in formulating public policies related to victims. This has implications for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in improving the general quality of life of victims and the general population.

“…Thus, we recommend conducting a cross-cultural study in countries with similar sociocultural conditions but with and without long-term internal conflicts (e.g., Colombia and Costa Rica). Such studies would also allow analyzing the potential confounding role of other sources of violence in Latin America (e.g., urban violence) and the outcomes observed in people exposed to armed conflicts (Nussio, 2019). In a study of this nature, it would be relevant to evaluate differences between civilians with low exposure of both countries, and between these civilians and active actors of the Colombian conflict to understand how these subtypes of aggression influence civilians.…”

The Reactive-Proactive aggression Questionnaire (RPQ) evaluates the construct of intrinsic motivation of aggression and has been tested in adults exposed to armed conflicts. We aim to validate the structure and reliability of internal consistency of the RPQ in Colombian population exposed to armed conflicts. We start by evaluating the two-dimensional factorial structure of its original version. Then, we perform an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in 254 subjects, and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in 797 subjects. Sex and exposure to experiences associated with armed conflicts are used as independent variables to evaluate construct validity in a subgroup analysis. As a result, a novel reduced version of the RPQ was obtained with the two original dimensions (reactive/proactive aggression), with adequate goodness-of-fit in EFA and confirmed with CFA. Additionally, adequate internal consistency and construct validity were observed in the new questionnaire and its dimensions. This new version relates the severity of items at each dimension. Therefore, it explores the way aggressive behaviors in adulthood are accentuated and how they can be intensified by violent environments. Public Significance StatementWith this study, we provide a validated instrument to inform about the intrinsic motivations of aggression in adults that have been exposed to situations associated with armed conflicts. With this instrument, we expect to facilitate the diagnosis, promotion, and prevention programs, and evidence-based interventions in regions exposed to violent contexts.

“…A growing number of studies suggest that collective violence does not necessarily disrupt communities and that collective coping with the adversity of war may be much more common than traditionally assumed. For example, a recent meta-analysis (Bauer et al 2016) of nearly 20 studies conducted in over 40 countries has found a strong, persistent pattern that exposure to war violence tends to increase social cooperation at the local level, including community participation and prosocial behaviour (for similar findings see also Arjona et al 2016;Bellows and Miguel 2009;Fritz 1961Fritz / 1996Gáfaro et al 2014;Gilligan et al 2014;Nussio 2019;Vélez et al 2016). Why this occurs, however, is still poorly understood.…”

This volume bridges two different research fields and the current debates within them. On the one hand, the transitional justice literature has been shaken by powerful calls to make the doctrine and practice of justice more transformative. On the other hand, collective memory studies now tend to look more closely at meaningful silences to make sense of what nations leave out when they remember their pasts. The book extends the scope of this heuristic approach to the different mechanisms that come under the umbrella of transitional justice, including legal prosecution, truth-seeking and reparations, alongside memorialization.The 15 chapters included in the volume, written by expert scholars from diverse disciplinary and societal backgrounds, explore a range of practices intended to deal with the past, and how making the invisible visible again can make transitional justiceor indeed any societal engagement with the pastmore transformative. Seeking to combine contextual depth and comparative width, the book features two key case analyses -South Africa and Sri Lankaalongside discussions of multiple cases, including such emblematic sites as Rwanda and Argentina, but also sites better known for resisting than for embracing international norms of transitional justice, such as Turkey or Côte d'Ivoire. The different contributions, grouped in themed sections, progressively explore the issues, actors and resources that are typically forgotten when societies celebrate their pasts rather than mourning their losses and, in doing so, open new possibilities to build more inclusive processes for addressing the present consequences of past injustice.
