Abstract
En el presente estudio participaron 170 estudiantes de dos carreras de la Universidad de Costa Rica:
Derecho e Ingeniería. Se realizaron dos estudios, los cuales combinaron técnicas de investigación
cualitativa y cuantitativa con el propósito de estimar la pertinencia de la teoría de la infra-humanización
en el contexto costarricense. La primera hipótesis en estudio supone que las personas atribuyen a sus
grupos de pertenencia más emociones secundarias (sentimientos) que primarias (emociones) y con
ello estarían atribuyendo al propio grupo más esencia humana que a los exo-grupos. La segunda hipótesis
indica que a mayor atribución de emociones primarias al exo-grupo mayor nivel de prejuicio moderno.
Los resultados respaldan las hipótesis de trabajo y por lo tanto, abren paso a la necesidad de profundizar
más la temática, en el contexto latinoamericano.
Two studies combining qualitative and quantitative techniques were developed in order to test the relevance of the theory of infra-humanization in Costa Rican contexts. Participants were 170 students from two Careers at the University of Costa Rica: Law and Engineering. The first hypothesis stated that people tend to attribute more secondary emotions than primary emotions to the ingroups, and thus tend attribute more human essence to ingroups than to outgroups. The second hypothesis stated that a larger allocation of the primary emotions to the exogrupo will correlate with higher level of modern prejudice. The results of this study support the hypothesis of the study and point out to the need for more research on infra-humanization in Latin American contexts.
