Resumen
El objetivo del presente artículo se centra en el análisis de la influencia de la dimensión de masculinidad-feminidad como indicador cultural y la expresividad como indicador individual; en el conocimiento de los antecedentes, las reacciones mentales y los mecanismos de autocontrol emocional. Para ello, se ha utilizado una muestra compuesta por 1549 sujetos de 6 países (Bélgica, España (País Vasco, Madrid, Málaga y Almería), Suiza, México, Chile y Bolivia) con representación de 9 comunidades. Los sujetos respondieron a un cuestionario compuesto por preguntas relativas a variables socio-demográficas e indicadores culturales; Inventario de Roles Sexuales de Bem (1974) y Escalas de prototipos emocionales (alegría, tristeza y cólera-enfado) (Páez y Verga- ra, 1992b). En cuanto a los resultados, las regresiones entre variables muestran que, las culturas expresivas comparten patrones de fuerte sentimiento y pensamiento en situaciones emocionales. Por su parte, las culturas masculinas, al tener reacciones emocionales más basadas en los atributos internos y la expresión de estos, necesitan de un mayor control emocional, enfatizando así el autocontrol de emociones negativas. Finalmente, las personas con una imagen de sí expresiva muestran una mayor capacidad de regulación emocional.
The aim of this paper is the analysis both of the influence of the masculinity-feminity dimension (as a cultural indicator) and of its expression (as an individual indicator) on the knowledge of antecedents, mental reactions and forms of emotional self-control. 1549 subjects composed our sample. They represented six different countries (nine different communities): Belgium, Spain (Basque Country, Madrid, Málaga and Almería), Switzerland, Mexico, Chile, and Bolivia). Subjects answered a questionnaire which included sociodemographic questions, cultural indicators, the BSRI and several scales of emotional prototypes (happiness, sadness, anger) originally developed by Páez and Vergara (1992b). Regression analyses showed that expressive cultures share patterns of strong feeling and thought in emotional situations. In addition, masculine cultures, whose emotional reactions are based mainly on internal attributes and their expression, are in more need of emotional control. As a consequence, their self-control of negative emotions turns out to be higher. Finally, persons with an expressive self-image show an increased ability of emotional regulation.
