{"title":"Bribing and Social Desirability in Peru: A Mixed Methods Approach","authors":"Viviana Baraybar Hidalgo, Yamile Guibert, Paula Muñoz","doi":"10.7440/colombiaint110.2022.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7440/colombiaint110.2022.02","url":null,"abstract":". Objective/Context: What could lead some individuals to be more prone to lie about engaging in corruption? We contend that a psychological approach to the study of corruption can be employed to understand who lies about corrupt behavior and why. Since social desirability bias (SDB) is related to the appropriateness of behavior, conflicting social norms in a context where corruption is widespread— like in several Latin American countries—can result in SDB in the context of surveys that directly ask for past corrupt behavior. Moreover, due to conflicting norms, some subgroups of the population might be particularly affected by SDB. Methodology : Together, focus groups, list experiments, and survey data provide evidence that supports our psychological approach. Conclusion : Overall, we confirm that SDB is at work even in a context in which corruption is widespread like Peru. Statistically speaking, we only find evidence in support of the existence of gender socialization as an important source of SDB when directly reporting past bribing behavior in Peru. However, other substantive—not statistically significant—differences related to age merit further discussion and research. Originality : This work has two main contributions; first, it highlights the importance designing unobtrusive measures when studying the prevalence of corrupt practices in Latin America; and second, it shows that policy interventions to fight corruption may not be equally effective across different groups of the population. os referentes sociais poderiam explicar as diversas atitudes e comportamentos dentro da sociedade. Metodologia : os grupos focais, o experimento de lista ( list experiment ) e os dados de enquetes oferecem evidência que apoia nossa abordagem psicológica. Conclusão : em geral, confirmamos que o SDB funciona inclusive num contexto no qual a corrupção está muito propagada, como no Peru. Quanto ao aspecto estatístico, evidenciou-se que a socialização de gênero é uma fonte importante de SDB quando é informada diretamente sobre comportamento de suborno no passado. Contudo, outras diferenças substanciais, não estatisticamente significativas, relacionadas com a idade, merecem maior discussão e pesquisa.

Objective/Context : Citizen support for democracy is in question. In the Latin American case, after having increased at the beginning of the 21 st century, indicators of support for democracy showed marked decline throughout the last decade. This is particularly evident in the Andean countries, where recent setbacks in the legitimacy of democratic institutions have been accompanied by problematic electoral processes that were deeply questioned by their citizens. Methodology : Using recent data from two of the main sources of comparative public opinion available for Latin America—AmericasBarometer and the World Values Survey— this work focuses on indicators of citizen support for democracy in four countries of the Andean region (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru), investigating the effect of government approval on the evaluation of democracy. The study uses a methodological design that recognizes different levels of support for democracy, to discuss the hypothesis that effects should be different between the levels analyzed. Conclusions : The results show that more concrete levels of support for democracy are more strongly influenced by individual political positions, while the values that sustain democracy are not affected at a statistically significant level. Originality : The methodology allows identifying the multidimensionality of citizen support for democracy and how this support depends on different factors according to the studied level. The conclusions evidence the existence of dynamics common to different societies in relation to democracy.","PeriodicalId":35154,"journal":{"name":"Colombia Internacional","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44775826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective/Context : The article focuses on the discussions on the Anthropocene and Capitalocene in eco-marxism, especially in the Metabolic Rift and World-Ecology schools. These entered into a conceptual confrontation on how this new state of the Earth System should be named, its characteristics, agents, 16 genesis and relationship with capitalism. Methodology : A critical reading of the recent bibliography on the concepts of Anthropocene and Capitalocene is made, especially that produced by eco-marxism. Conclusions : The main differences between the aforementioned schools are related to the beginning of the Anthropocene and the Capitalocene, which for the first would refer to the beginning of capitalism, while for the second it would refer to the Industrial Revolution, or the Great Acceleration; the relevance of the nature-society dichotomy has also been debated. It is also possible to identify several fundamental agreements on the central role of capital accumulation, the responsibility of capitalists in the process of global change, and the systemic character of the contemporary crisis of capitalism. Originality : The article makes a systematic review of one of the most important discussions of eco-marxism, a field of great relevance within Marxist theory at present. Although a few analogous reflections have been published, these are biased due to their ascription to one of the two competing schools.","PeriodicalId":35154,"journal":{"name":"Colombia Internacional","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43288291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
