A Comparative Study of Paramilitaries and Guerrillas in Colombia CRISTINA VILLEGAS DE POSADA JORGE FLOREZ NICOLÁS ESPINEL Psicología violence ideology dissonance guerrillas Moral disengagement Moral disengagement mechanisms are strategies to make immoral actions appear moral. This study explores their usage by two Colombian illegal armed groups (guerrillas and paramilitaries), as well as differences between the groups. The analysis covered 367 communiqués issued in 55 months. A deductive content analysis revealed that the most used mechanisms were: attribution of blame, euphemistic labeling, moral justification and labeling with undesirable names. Results showed differences between groups only in the number of press releases, but not in frequency or type of the mechanisms used. The findings are analyzed in the discussion section in relation to the theory of dissonance, extreme violence and motives for joining illegal armed groups. 2018 artículo científico 0121-5469 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=80464411005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/804/80464411005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/804/80464411005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/804/80464411005/80464411005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/804/80464411005/movil 10.15446/rcp.v27n1.62191 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=804 Revista Colombiana de Psicología application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista Colombiana de Psicología (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.27 |
