Md. Villuendas et al., SOCIOECONOMIC UNDERSTANDING - INEQUALITY BETWEEN RICH AND POOR COUNTRIES, Revista latinoamericana de psicología, 28(3), 1996, pp. 497-522
We work in this article from different theoretical perspectives for kn
owing how the economic concept of inequality in the social organizatio
n of the states, get in the notions which are used by the human being.
The following question is basic: How the children, adolescents and th
e adults organise and understand the economic inequalities of the coun
tries/states? We made psychogenetic interviews with spanish sujects (b
etween 6 and 50 years of age) to study the interpetations that they ha
ve in the different ages and social class, about the wealth and povert
y in the countries, the economic differences and the possibilities for
the change of situation. The results found out, permit us to open a b
ig discussion about the diversity of explanations that the sujects gav
e in the different themes.
