Resumen

El propósito de esta investigación es examinar las respuestas emocionales hacia diferentes tipos de estigmas, y observar como estos sentimientos se relacionan con el modelo reflejo-reflexivo de Pryor, Reeder, Yeadon y Hesson-McInnis (2004). Los estigmas analizados variaban en el grado de responsabilidad en su origen—controlables, neutros e incontrolables. En primer lugar, los participantes expresaron sus reacciones ante personas con diferentes tipos de estigma. Para ello se empleó una tarea de ordenador en la que se medían las variaciones momento a momento de sus respuestas expresadas mediante los movimientos del cursor durante un periodo de 10 segundos. A continuación, los participantes contestaron a un cuestionario que incluía una escala de sentimientos. Los resultados mostraron correlaciones entre las respuestas emocionales y las variaciones momento a momento con un patrón diferencial en función de la controlabilidad del estigma.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the specific emotions evoked by perceived stigmas and how these emotions relate to the Reflexive-Reflective Model (Pryor et al., 2004). Stigmas tested included predetermined levels of high, medium and low controllability. The participants were asked to indicate their emotions towards people with different kinds of stigma. For this, a computer-related task was used where moment by moment reactions were measured through cursor movements over a 10-second period. After completion of this task, participants were given a questionnaire to assess their specific emotional reactions to these stigmatizing conditions. Results indicated correlations between emotional responses and the moment by moment variations showing a differential pattern with regard to the controllability of stigma.
