Social welfare, Self-esteem and Recognition: Empirical Study on Crime and Exclusion Based on the Category of Contempt of Axel Honneth. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1, pp.11-26.  Epub 25-Maio-2021. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v30n1.80978.

The work is based on a first empirical approach to the category of contempt of Axel Honneth, for whom the struggle for recognition consists of an intersubjective negotiation that the subjects establish among themselves to achieve the consideration of their identity claims . According to this author, recognition displaces the conception of justice from its traditional meaning of material redistribution to the notion of a satisfactory life. This article will examine in particular the hypothesis that crime, in its interconnection with social exclusion, would be a consequence of the denial of recognition. Thus, a quantitative study was set up with subjects residing in Spain, grouped into: prisoners (n=117), people at social risk (n=131) and individuals who were not in the previous conditions (n=294). The variables used were: self-esteem, subjective social welfare, fatalism, and self-efficacy. The results of the statistical analyzes indicated the validity of Honneth's category of contempt and confirmed the hypothesis investigated.
