MARIEL SOSA, FERNANDA; DELFINO, GISELA ISABEL; BOBOWIK, MAGDALENA  and  ZUBIETA, ELENA MERCEDES. Representations Social Representations of Universal History: Differential Positioning at the Service of Political Ideology, Religiosity and Nationalism in the Argentinian Context. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1, pp.47-62. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v25n1.45494.

In order to analyze the social representations of history through the feelings elicited by 24 world history figures, a modified version of the questionnaire constructed by Liu et al. (2005) was applied to an intentional sample (N_AGE=369) from Argentina (55.7% women, M_age =36.20, SD =11.16). The non-hierarchical cluster analysis identified 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 figures identified 2 clusters, named heroes and villains. The religious and political figures are those that call for the most dissent.

Keywords : Argentina; world history; historical figures; social representations.
