The politics of Argentina today: human rights and Kirchnerismo
2016
After the effects of bloody dictatorship that whipped the region, Argentina as many other Latin American countries experienced a great trauma which not only altered the ways politics was lived, but also undermined the social trust of citizens respecting to their institutions. The rise of Kirchneristes and Kirchnerismo post stock and market crisis of 2001, initiated a new age in Argentina. Kirchnerismo opened the doors for the vindication of many claims of human rights organisations, but at the same time, the discourse of human rights was adjusted to the interests of Cristina Kirchner and her followers. As a result of this, the cause of human rights allowed government to produce a new way of…
Franco’s dictatorship in recent school textbooks: A critical review
2018
Este artículo analiza de forma panorámica el tratamiento de la dictadura franquista en los manuales escolares españoles de educación primaria, secundaria y bachillerato de los últimos veinte años. Se parte de la siguiente premisa: el tratamiento educativo de un pasado conflictivo y “candente” como el del franquismo debe preocupar de forma especial a la comunidad de investigadores y profesores de Historia, en tanto en cuanto tiene profundas repercusiones potenciales en la construcción de las identidades sociopolíticas de las nuevas generaciones. En este sentido, el artículo, aunque no niega los avances producidos, focaliza su atención en las carencias metodológicas, epistemológicas e interpr…
Participación en la distribución: un análisis experimental de las instituciones políticas
2009
Este artículo analiza el papel de de las instituciones políticas sobre la distribución de recursos en procesos de negociación política. Para ello, recurrimos a la metodología experimental y estudiamos 3 instituciones políticas diferentes en el laboratorio, con el fin de determinar los resultados (desde el punto de vista del bienestar y de la igualdad) de la democracia y la participación directa en las instituciones. En la institución no democrática (Dictadura), un dictador es elegido aleatoriamente al comienzo del experimento para elegir como distribuir una cantidad constante de recursos. Dos instituciones democráticas son comparadas a este tratamiento base: (i) Democracia Indirecta, en la …
From being alone to being the only one: Neuroticism is associated with an egocentric shift in an alone context
2019
Objective This research presents evidence for an egocentric shift occurring among individuals high in Neuroticism by the mere thought-and actual state-of being alone. Method Four experiments and one experience sampling study (N = 719). In the experiments, Neuroticism was measured, and participants were randomly primed to adopt either an alone or a "with others" social context mind-set. The experiments measured different expressions of egocentrism. Study 1 measured perspective-taking, Study 2a was focused on social value orientation, Study 2b measured money allocation in a dictator game, and Study 3 measured self-reported and behavioral interpersonal trust. Trust was also the focus of Study …

The effects of personality, risk and other-regarding attitudes on trust and reciprocity
2022
Abstract This paper reports experimental results on the determinants of trust and reciprocity in the context of a genuinely sequential, binary Trust Game. Apart from behavior in the main experiment, subjects’ risk attitudes and inequality aversion are elicited, as well as the traits of neuroticism and agreeableness, captured through the five-factor model. The findings suggest that trustors’ (first movers) behavior is affected by their loss aversion, while trustees’ (second movers) reciprocal behavior is not explained by any of their other-regarding attitudes, but, rather, by their agreeableness.

Las campanas y practicas politicas desarrolladas por el movimiento feminista en Espana fueron acompanadas de simbolos y lemas que formaban parte de la produccion simbolica del movimiento feminista como movimiento social. Estas representaciones simbolicas ayudaron configurar una id…
Building emotional agents for strategic decision making
2015
Experimental economics has many works that demonstrate the influence of emotions and affective issues on the process of human strategic decision making. Personality, emotions and mood produce biases on what would be considered the strategic solution (Nash equilibrium) to many games. %CAMBIO% Thus considering these issues on simulations of human behavior may produce results more aligned with real situations. We think that computational agents are a suitable %CAMBIO% technology to simulate such phenomena. We propose to use O3A, an Open Affective Agent Architecture to model rational and affective agents, in order to perform simulations where agents must take decisions as close as possible to h…
