Representaciones Sociales de la Historia Universal: Posicionamientos Diferenciales en Función de la Ideología Política, Religiosidad y Nacionalismo en una Muestra Argentina

Abstract

In order to analyze the social representations of history through the feelings elicited by 24 world history figures, a modied version of the questionnaire constructed by Liu et al. (2005) was applied to an intentional sample (n=369) from Argentina (55.7% women, mage=36.20, sdage=11.16). The non-hierarchical cluster analysis identied 4 groups related to the religiosity, nationalism, and the ideological positioning of participants. On the other hand, a second hierarchical cluster analysis based on the feelings toward the historical gures identied 2 clusters, named heroes and villains. The religious and political figures are those that call for the most dissent.
