Citizenship culture and collective efficacy; psychometric properties and relationships with crime and demographic factors in Mexican university students

Levels of Citizenship Culture (CC) and Collective Efficacy (CE) were measured in three Mexican cities. Participants were 1007 university students from Chihuahua, Guadalajara, and Puebla, with a mean age of 19.7 years, who were mostly women (65.1%). CC and CE scales showed high internal reliability a...

Participants were 1007 university students from Chihuahua, Guadalajara, and Puebla, with a mean age of 19.7 years, who were mostly women (65.1%). CC and CE scales showed high internal reliability and factor solutions relevant for the theories of each construct. CC and CE showed significant direct correlations (0.237, . <.001). Relationships were also found between these variables and socioeconomic status, age, and sex. Moreover, the inverse and significant relation between CC and CE with victimization and criminality was confirmed. The city with the lower CC and CE was Chihuahua, which, in turn, displayed the highest victimization and crime rates. Given that the subjects in this study were university students, results should be interpreted with caution as regards their external validation. However, these findings suggest the usefulness of these scales for performing diagnoses, formulating policies, and assessing actions and programs focused towards reducing violence and insecurity by strengthening solidarity, norm compliance, and citizen participation, which may contribute to the promotion of peace.  Se midieron los niveles de Cultura de Ciudadanía (CC) y Eficacia Colectiva (EC) en tres ciudades mexicanas. Los participantes fueron 1007 estudiantes universitarios de Chihuahua, Guadalajara y Puebla, con una edad promedio de 19.7 años, en su mayoría mujeres (65.1%). Las escalas de CC y EC mostraron una alta fiabilidad interna y soluciones factoriales relevantes para las teorías de cada constructo. CC y EC mostraron correlaciones directas significativas (0.237, p <.001). También se encontraron relaciones entre estas variables y el estatus socioeconómico, la edad y el sexo. Además, se confirmó la relación inversa y significativa entre CC y EC con la victimización y la criminalidad. La ciudad con menor CC y EC fue Chihuahua, que, a su vez, presentó las tasas más altas de victimización y criminalidad. Dado que los sujetos en este estudio eran estudiantes universitarios, los resultados deben interpretarse con cautela en cuanto a su validación externa. Sin embargo, estos hallazgos sugieren la utilidad de estas escalas para realizar diagnósticos, formular políticas y evaluar acciones y programas enfocados en reducir la violencia y la inseguridad mediante el fortalecimiento de la solidaridad, el cumplimiento de normas y la participación ciudadana, lo que puede contribuir a la promoción de la paz. application/pdf application/epub+zip text/html application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9745 10.62174/{psocial}.v9i2.9745 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9745/8284 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9745/8285 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9745/8286 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9745/8287 Copyright (c) 2024 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 2422-619X CITIZENSHIP CULTURE, COLLECTIVE EFFICACY, CITIZEN SECURITY, VICTIMIZATION, CRIMINALITY.
