Abstract
Social identity and emotional climate in a rural community of Peru: an empirical study
Highlights
Many communities from the northern coast of Peru have shown a progressive disintegration of social and communitarian relations
In time, diminished capacities interacting with economic and social problems introduced an emotional climate characterized by the lack of confidence (La Barrera, Espinosa, Cueto, & Ferrándiz, 2012)
These collective emotions could have an impact on the social identity of these communities, since the emotions of the whole community affect the group’s cohesion and cultural identity (De Rivera, 1992)
Summary
Many communities from the northern coast of Peru have shown a progressive disintegration of social and communitarian relations. In time, diminished capacities interacting with economic and social problems introduced an emotional climate characterized by the lack of confidence (La Barrera, Espinosa, Cueto, & Ferrándiz, 2012). These collective emotions could have an impact on the social identity of these communities, since the emotions of the whole community affect the group’s cohesion and cultural identity (De Rivera, 1992). The situation described has as its main historical precedent the Agrarian Reform process, which took place in Peru during the decades of the sixties and seventies (Eguren, 2006). The expropriated haciendas were replaced by villages which had associative trades such as production cooperatives, agricultural societies of social interest and rural businesses of social property (Eguren, 1989)
