Impacto de la imagen de Colombia en la identidad y autoestima de los colombianos.
Keywords:
Ethnical identity, colombian self-steemAbstract
We tried to determine whether the negative images vehiculated about Colombia (drugs, violence, poverty) would modify the Colombians ethnical identity and self esteem, both inside and outside their own country. The results seemed to indicate that these images have not significantly altered the answers given by 156 Colombians living in Europe and Colombia (36 and 120 respectively). who were submitted to Phinney's Ethnical Identity Test (1992) and Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Inventory (1984). However, two significant aspects were found: First, the women possessed a stronger sense of ethnical identity than men; on the other hand, the latter seemed to come into contact comparatively more easily with other ethnic groups. Second, the subjects of the test living in Colombia possessed a stronger self-esteem than those living in Europe: in addition, they used more positive adjectives and less negative ones when describing Colombians than when describing Europeans. The Colombians see the Europeans as an individualistic, cold, hard-working, ciever, distrutful and pacific people, they see themselves as a hard-working, happy, individualistic rowdy. religious and expressive people.
