Biography
I am a PhD student in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Granada. In my doctoral thesis I study the effects of the perception of inequality on attitudes towards democracy and institutions. I also investigate the psychosocial consequences of inequality, wealth and democracy on cooperation and civic participation.
Main interests
- Antecedents and psychosocial consequences of the perception of economic inequality.
- Attitudes towards inequality: intolerance and support for inequality.
- Sociopolitical attitudes: trust in institutions, perception of democracy, democratic values, satisfaction with government and political efficacy.
- Attitudes towards collective actions, cooperation, civic and social participation.
