Abstract

Identifying a society's perceptions and, by extension, opinions of a certain social movement can help to understand to what extent the movement has been successful in effecting change. When working to gain such an understanding, a focus on the student population is essential, as their opinions provide insight into the future conditions of society and, thus, into whether the movement has been successful in effecting lasting social change. The present work focusses on the feminist movements and, in line with the above, analyses the perceptions held by a sample of 600 Spanish students enrolled in compulsory secondary, pre-university, and university education. The method employed begins with the use of association tests to extract lexical networks. Then, following a theoretical transformation, the traditional lexical availability index is applied in combination with fuzzy set theory to the sample of lists obtained so as to map the structure of the collective network, a novel approach that results in different levels of compatibility. The highest levels of compatibility reveal the prototypical conceptualisation as well as the sample's shared cognitive perception. The results suggest that although the population under study may have absorbed the feminist movements' messages of equality and respect, distorted perceptions could still remain in certain groups analysed. This work therefore recommends that education centres may wish to consider communicating objective information on the feminist movements specifically to women, as this could ultimately lead to all students fully embracing a feminist awareness distanced from extreme ideologies.

西班牙学生对女权运动的分类认知。
确定社会对某一社会运动的看法,进而确定社会对该运动的意见,有助于了解该运动在多大程度上成功地实现了变革。在努力获得这种理解时,关注学生群体是至关重要的,因为他们的意见可以让人洞察社会的未来状况,从而了解运动是否成功地实现了持久的社会变革。本研究以女权运动为重点,根据上述观点,分析了 600 名接受中等义务教育、大学预科教育和大学教育的西班牙学生的看法。所采用的方法首先是使用联想测试来提取词汇网络。然后,经过理论转换,将传统的词汇可用性指数与模糊集理论相结合,应用于所获得的列表样本,从而绘制出集体网络的结构图。最高程度的兼容性揭示了原型概念化以及样本的共同认知观念。研究结果表明,尽管所研究的人群可能已经吸收了女权运动所传递的平等和尊重的信息,但在某些被分析的群体中,扭曲的认知仍然存在。因此,这项研究建议,教育中心不妨考虑专门向女性传达有关女权运动的客观信息,因为这最终会使所有学生完全接受远离极端意识形态的女权意识。

期刊介绍: Journal of Psycholinguistic Research publishes carefully selected papers from the several disciplines engaged in psycholinguistic research, providing a single, recognized medium for communications among linguists, psychologists, biologists, sociologists, and others. The journal covers a broad range of approaches to the study of the communicative process, including: the social and anthropological bases of communication; development of speech and language; semantics (problems in linguistic meaning); and biological foundations. Papers dealing with the psychopathology of language and cognition, and the neuropsychology of language and cognition, are also included.
