“…Consistent with this notion, as Wiley and colleagues (2008) report, over the course of time individuals become aware of collective negative representations of their group. Similarly, Oppin et al (2015) report that second generation North Africans living in France were less likely to perceive accusations of violating social norms as legitimate. They correctly viewed themselves as belonging to French culture, having been born and raised in France, and regarded attempts to cast their behavior as discrepant with cultural norms to be illegitimate and discriminatory.…”

“…Foreign-born individuals may be less aware of the role of race in social relations in the U.S. (Cook et al, 2009; Torres & Ong, 2010; Waters, 1994; Ying et al, 2000; Yip et al, 2008; Yoo & Lee, 2009). Foreign-born individuals may lack experience with standards of behavior in U.S. social contexts or may be unfamiliar with the cues that yield information about the perpetrators’ motivation for maltreatment (Oppin, Nugier, Chekroun, & Guimond, 2015). Foreign-born individuals may not automatically regard themselves as belonging to those racial groups routinely targeted for race-based maltreatment in the U.S. (Deaux et al, 2007; Waters, 1994; Wiley et al, 2008).…”

Researchers have suggested that perceptions of discrimination may vary depending on place of birth and the length of time spent living in the U.S., variables related to acculturation. However, the existing literature provides a mixed picture, with data suggesting that the effects of acculturation on perceptions of discrimination vary by race and other sociodemographic factors. This study evaluated the role of place of birth (POB: defined as U.S.-born vs. foreign-born), age at immigration, and length of residence in the U.S. on self-reported discrimination in a sample of urban-dwelling Asian and Black adults (n= 1454). Analyses examined POB effects on different types of discrimination including race-related stigmatization, exclusion, threat, and workplace discrimination. Sociodemographic variables (including age, gender, employment status and education level) were tested as potential moderators of the relationship between POB and discrimination. The results revealed a significant main effect for POB on discrimination, with U.S.-born individuals reporting significantly more discrimination than foreign-born individuals, although the effect was reduced when sociodemographic variables were controlled. Across the sample, POB effects were seen only for race-related stigmatization and exclusion, not for threat and workplace discrimination. With the exception of limited effects for gender, sociodemographic variables did not moderate these effects. Younger age at immigration and greater years of residence in the U.S. were also positively associated with higher levels of perceived discrimination. These findings suggest increasing acculturation may shape the experience and perception of racial and ethnic discrimination.

“…Por último, en un estudio llevado a cabo por Oppin et al (2015) sobre las relaciones entre la legitimidad y la inteligencia emocional se encontró que las competencias emocionales configuran la interacción continua para orientar las conductas de los individuos a su entorno social; es decir, que cuanto más se percibe el apropiado establecimiento normativo de las autoridades, más se experimenta un mejor dominio emocional. No obstante, cuando no se percibe legitimidad, se experimenta hostilidad (Oppin et al, 2015). De hecho, Johnson et al (2014) pusieron en evidencia que, cuando el individuo percibe que la legitimidad no se presenta claramente al ver situaciones injustas, esto conlleva tanto a la manifestación de emociones negativas como a la pérdida de la regulación de emociones con respecto al entendimiento de lo considerado justo por parte de las autoridades.…”

Investigaciones previas sugieren que las conductas antisociales y delictivas son más prevalentes en individuos que presentan una baja inteligencia emocional, así como en aquellos que perciben una baja probabilidad de sanción y una nula legitimidad de las autoridades. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los efectos de la inteligencia emocional, la disuasión (específicamente la percepción de probabilidad de recibir sanción) y la legitimidad de las autoridades en la conducta antisocial en reclusos en comparación con un grupo control. El grupo de reclusos estuvo compuesto por 105 sujetos provenientes de un Centro de Reinserción Social de una ciudad del noroeste de México, con una media de edad de 32.03 años (DE = 8.986); y el grupo control, por 105 adultos sin antecedentes penales, con una media de edad de 32.08 años (DE = 10.094). Ambas muestras seleccionadas por conveniencia. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en las escalas de inteligencia emocional (t = –4.14, p < .001), legitimidad (t = –3.09, p < .01) y probabilidad de castigo (t = –4.66, p < .001); específicamente, la d de Cohen indicó que la muestra control presentó mayor inteligencia emocional (d = –0.81), mayor percepción de legitimidad (d = –0.60) y mayor percepción de probabilidad de sanción (d = –0.90) en contraste con la muestra de reclusos. Dentro del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, las variables de inteligencia emocional y percepción de probabilidad de castigo influyeron en el comportamiento antisocial, lo cual indica que posiblemente las competencias emocionales podrían repercutir sobre el temor de recibir alguna sanción ante la comisión de determinadas conductas antisociales.
