Evaluación de impacto de una experiencia de socialización política en una organización social sobre las atribuciones en torno a la desigualdad social en niños cordobeses

Effect of political socialization on children: quasi-experimental study with Argentinian children / Efecto de la socialización política en población infantil: estudio cuasi-experimental con niños/as argentinos/as

“…Sociopolitical participation. Indicators constructed in Córdoba (Argentina) (Imhoff & Brussino, 2015) were used which enabled us to capture the children's participation in a variety of social and political activities, grouped into two dimensions: 'Citizen participation' and 'Pre-citizen participation'. The former includes actions (e.g., participating in marches or demonstrations, organizing with neighbours to submit requests or proposals) in which children of this age seldom participate (Imhoff & Brussino, 2013), and in which the participation of adolescents and adults is more common.…”

“…These data enable us to complement the measurement of the frequency of engaging in different forms of citizen participation (citizen and precitizen) with indicators that reveal the children's real and prominent level of involvement in them (Hart, 2000(Hart, , 2004, or what some authors call the quality of their participation experiences (Ferreira et al, 2012). This more detailed analysis enabled us to re-categorize the activities in which each child participated, distinguishing between real participation (with active, prominent involvement which could lead to real empowerment of the children) and symbolic participation (simulated involvement: simulations of participation managed by the school, and expressive activities which do not entail empowerment) (Imhoff & Brussino, 2015).…”

“…Attitudes towards equality. We worked with a scale designed in Córdoba (Argentina) (Imhoff & Brussino, 2015) Right-wing authoritarianism. An instrument constructed in Córdoba (Argentina) (Imhoff & Brussino, 2017) based on the Spanish version of the Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) scale (Seoane & Garzón, 1992) was administered.…”

“…Attitude towards unfair behaviour by authorities. We worked with an Argentinian scale (Imhoff & Brussino, 2015), in which the children express their degree of agreement with statements on their expected attitude in a situation of abuse of power by an authority (teachers, headmasters, parents, etc.). The 11 items inquire into attitudes of submission (seven items; α = .74) or confrontation (four items; α = .55) when faced with these events.…”

“…En ese sentido, se les otorgaban a los/as niños/as tarjetas con las opciones de respuesta de las escalas utilizadas, en las cuales indicaban su respuesta, la cual era consignada en el cuestionario por la entrevistadora. Todos los instrumentos, excepto el utilizado para evaluar los niveles de empatía 1 , fueron testeados previamente en un estudio instrumental con niños/as de las mismas edades y características socio-demográficas que quienes participaron de los estudios reportados en este escrito, ratificándose las adecuadas propiedades psicométricas y validez ecológica de las medidas (Imhoff & Brussino, 2015). Al respecto, los índices de confiabilidad reportados a continuación se corresponden con los obtenidos en dicho estudio instrumental.…”
