In three periods of time (2010, 2012 and 2017) students at university and technical/technological careers (total number: 12,171) from the 32 capital cities of each department in Colombia responded to a Scale of Social Representations of Democracy (ERSD) and to a list of sociodemographic variables. In a macro-level analysis, departmental averages of Democracy Balance were crossed with macro indicators of crime, extreme poverty, life expectancy and indigenous population percentage. Results show a seven dimensions factorial structure without significant relationships with age, gender or social class. At a macro level, regions with a high proportion of indigenous population showed a more positive evaluation of democracy over time, while higher crime rates are associated with a more negative evaluation of democracy. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender los principios organizadores de las representaciones sociales de la democracia en estudiantes de educación superior en Colombia y su anclaje en variables sociodemográficas y territoriales. En tres periodos de tiempo (2010, 2012 y 2017), estudiantes universitarios y de carreras técnicas/tecnológicas (número total: 12,171) de las 32 capitales de cada departamento de Colombia respondieron a una Escala de Representaciones Sociales de la Democracia (ERSD) y a una lista de variables sociodemográficas. En un análisis a nivel macro, se cruzaron los promedios departamentales del Balance de Democracia con indicadores macro de criminalidad, pobreza extrema, esperanza de vida y porcentaje de población indígena. Los resultados muestran una estructura factorial de siete dimensiones sin relaciones significativas con la edad, el género o la clase social. A nivel macro, las regiones con una alta proporción de población indígena mostraron una evaluación más positiva de la democracia a lo largo del tiempo, mientras que las tasas más altas de criminalidad están asociadas con una evaluación más negativa de la democracia. application/pdf application/epub+zip text/html application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9749 10.62174/{psocial}.v9i2.9749 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9749/8292 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9749/8293 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9749/8294 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9749/8295 Copyright (c) 2024 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 2422-619X SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS, DEMOCRACY, INDIGENOUS POPULATION, CRIME, SOCIAL FABRIC.
