With this aim, a category system has been built, which organizes the psychosocial processes identified in previous studies related to violence legitimation. Based on the proposed category system, a content analysis was conducted on 21 statements of ETA, released between 1998 and 2011. An intraobserver and inter-observer reliability analysis reveals high level stability and replicability of the categorization. The results show, firstly, that outgroup components have a predominant presence over ingroup components. Secondly, in the components hierarchy, we observe that elements referring to identity come in first place, followed in similar frequencies by those related to violence representation and the definition of the situation.Fundación Infancia y AprendizajeUniversitat de Barcelonainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/2445/33444eng(c) Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje, 2013info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

The study briefly examines the immediate reaction to the attack, before focusing on the collective reactions that characterized the behavior of the majority of the population between the events of 9/11 and the response to it in the form of intervention in Afghanistan. In studying this period an eight-phase sequential model (Botcharova, 2001) is used, where the initial phases center on the nation as the ingroup and the latter focus on the enemy who carried out the attack as the outgroup. The study is conducted from a psychosocial perspective and uses "social identity theory" (Tajfel & Turner, 1979, 1986) as the basic framework for interpreting and accounting for the collective reactions recorded. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the interpretation of these collective reactions is consistent with the postulates of social identity theory. The application of this theory provides a different and specific analysis of events. The study is based on data obtained from a variety of rigorous academic studies and opinion polls conducted in relation to the events of 9/11. In line with social identity theory, 9/11 had a marked impact on the importance attached by the majority of U.S. citizens to their identity as members of a nation. This in turn accentuated group differentiation and activated ingroup favoritism and outgroup discrimination (Tajfel & Turner, 1979, 1986). Ingroup favoritism strengthened group cohesion, feelings of solidarity, and identification with the most emblematic values of the U.S. nation, while outgroup discrimination induced U.S. citizens to conceive the enemy (al-Qaeda and its protectors) as the incarnation of evil, depersonalizing the group and venting their anger on it, and to give their backing to a military response, the eventual intervention in Afghanistan. Finally, and also in line with the postulates of social identity theory, as an alternative to the virtual bipolarization of the conflict (U.S. vs al-Qaeda), the activation of a higher level of identity in the ingroup is proposed, a group that includes the United States and the largest possible number of countries¿ including Islamic states¿in the search for a common, more legitimate and effective solution.Peace Science SocietyUniversitat de Barcelonainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/2445/20483eng(c) Peace Science Society, 2005info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

En concreto, se estudia el abuso psicológico aplicado en grupos manipulativos como algunas sectas, el aplicado en la violencia de pareja y el aplicado en el contexto laboral (mobbing). A través de un amplio análisis de las investigaciones realizadas y de las escalas de medida construidas sobre el tema, se obtienen, desde un enfoque psicosocial, tres nuevas clasificaciones de estrategias de abuso psicológico, una para cada ámbito, que permiten el análisis comparativo de los tres fenómenos. La comparación muestra un importante paralelismo entre las estrategias utilizadas en los tres ámbitos, especialmente entre las utilizadas para el sometimiento de un adepto al grupo y las utilizadas para el sometimiento del cónyuge o pareja.Universitat de Barcelona, Facultat de PsicologiaUniversitat de Barcelonainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/2445/20484spa(c) Universitat de Barcelona, Facultat de Psicologia, 2005info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

It sought to compare employees' understanding of workplace bullying in two different world regions: Central America and Southern Europe, regarding three aspects of workplace bullying: psychological vs. physical harassment, hierarchical vs. horizontal bullying, and direct vs. indirect aggression. A convenience sample of 246 workers provided their own definition of workplace bullying through a single, open-ended question. The results showed that employees from Central America emphasized the physical component of workplace bullying more than the Southern European employees. However, similarities in the conceptualization of workplace bullying across both cultures were found as well. Both Southern European and Central American employees defined workplace bullying mainly as a hierarchical phenomenon, where the aggression took the form of direct strategies. Such differences and similarities bring to the field some positive inputs for the development and implementation of different strategies for dealing effectively with this phenomenon.Psychology PressUniversitat de Barcelonainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/2445/20485eng(c) Psychology Press, an imprint of the Taylor and Francis Group, 2011info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

Based on a literature review, the aim of the present study is two fold: firstly to propose a new taxonomy of mobbing strategies and to provide an operational definition for each of them, and secondly, to assess this taxonomy with the aid of several experts, by using a Delphi survey, and to evaluate the severity of each of the mobbing strategies. The experts were asked to evaluate the adequacy and the severity of the definitions for each mobbing strategy. Thirty experts working in various professions (psychology, medicine, law, sociology, etc.) participated in a two-round Delphi survey. The experts estimated that the new taxonomy and the operational definitions were appropriate, establishing content and construct validity. They ranked the workplace bullying strategies in terms of descending importance: strategies of direct nature, followed by indirect strategies. Theoretical implications of the study, its limitations and future research are discussed.Universidad Complutense de MadridUniversitat de Barcelonainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/2445/20486eng(c) The Spanish Journal of Psychology, 2010info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

The aim was to provide a taxonomy of the consequences of psychological violence and to validate this taxonomy, by means of a content analysis of 37 testimonies of victims of terrorist violence. The taxonomy of consequences of psychological violence is made up by four components: 1. the effects on the context of the persons affected, 2. on their emotional state, 3. on cognition and 4. on behavior. Results show a predominance of contextual consequences and negative cognitions. Intra-observer and inter-observer reliability analysis showed high stability and reproducibility coefficients. This study shows that harassment and psychological violence have major consequences not only for victims but also for family members, threatened collectives and even the society as a whole.Universidad Complutense de MadridUniversitat de Barcelonainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/2445/20487eng(c) The Spanish Journal of Psychology, 2011info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
