Este estudio busca contribuir a la formulación y aplicación de políticas públicas y académicas para combatir, prevenir y erradicar el acoso sexual en las instituciones de educación superior del Ecuador. El diseño y validación de un instrumento de medición del acoso sexual, así como los datos que se obtenga, permiten viabilizar la intervención de las autoridades frente a una problemática conocida pero ocultada. El resultado final es parte de un largo e intenso proceso colectivo, donde los debates académicos, ideológicos, técnicos y políticos fueron una constante. Esto explica que el texto refleja una variedad de contenidos que van desde los insumos teóricos hasta el manual de aplicación de una encuesta. El documento tiene distintas pretensiones. Por un lado, es una contribución al debate teórico sobre el tema del acoso sexual y la violencia de género; por otro lado, aporta con información valiosa para aquellas personas interesadas en el tema; adicionalmente, proporciona insumos metodológicos y un instrumento para replicar el proceso en cualquier universidad del país y de la región. Una de las constataciones más relevantes, al aplicar la encuesta, fue la hegemonía masculina en los puestos de decisión de las universidades nacionales. Aunque a nivel del estudiantado las mujeres son mayoría en casi todas las instituciones, los puestos de dirección están ocupados predominantemente por varones. Esta circunstancia fue determinante al momento de llevar a cabo la encuesta, debido a la oposición de docentes, decanos y personal directivo que percibían a la investigación como una amenaza al statu quo académico y administrativo

An exploration of how psychological mechanisms produce intuitions, beliefs, behaviors, and experiences that are misattributed as being unique outcomes of religious or spiritual influences. Written from a social psychology perspective, this book proposes that religious and spiritual content represent one possible interpretation of the output of processes that also produce and govern nonreligious content. In looking at why people believe in God, and why belief in God is often linked with a range of positive outcomes such as prosociality, morality, health, and happiness, the author uses a critical lens that challenges past theories of religion's functions and adds new perspectives into a discipline that is often limited by an exclusive focus on evolutionary theory. This book features several cross-cutting themes-including "dual process" theory and an exploration of how various social cognition mechanisms and biases can channel or shape religious content-and provides a continuous through-line linking the underlying building blocks of thought, as studied in the cognitive sciences of religion (CSR) to specific religious and spiritual concepts using a social cognition lens.

The rapid developments of new communication technologies have facilitated the popularization of digital games, which has translated into an exponential growth of the game industry in the last decades. The ubiquitous presence of digital games has resulted in an expansion of the applications of these games from mere entertainment purposes to a great variety of serious purposes. In this edited volume, we narrow the scope of attention by focusing on what game theorist Ian Bogost has called "persuasive games", that is, gaming practices that combine the dissemination of information with attempts to engage players in particular attitudes and behaviors. This volume offers a multifaceted reflection on persuasive gaming, that is, on the process of these particular games being played by players. The purpose is to better understand when and how digital games can be used for persuasion, by further exploring persuasive games and some other kinds of persuasive playful interaction as well. The book critically integrates what has been accomplished in separate research traditions to offer a multidisciplinary approach to understanding persuasive gaming that is closely linked to developments in the industry by including the exploration of relevant case studies.

This book is about postcolonial memory in the Netherlands. This term refers to conflicts in contemporary society about how the colonial past should be remembered. The question is often: who has the right or ability to tell their stories and who do not? In other words: who has a voice, and who is silenced? As such, these conflicts represent a wider tendency in cultural theory and activism to use voice as a metaphor for empowerment and silence as voice’s negative counterpart, signifying powerlessness. And yet, there are voices that do not liberate us from, but rather subject us to power. Meanwhile, silence can be powerful: it can protect, disrupt and reconfigure. Throughout this book, it will become clear how voice and silence function not as each other’s opposites, but as each other’s continuation, and that postcolonial memory is articulated through the interplay of meaningful voices and meaningful silences.
