dc.description.abstractEl presente escrito busca determinar el rol de distintos mecanismos cognitivos sobre la perpetuación de trampas de pobreza utilizando una muestra de estudiantes universitarios. Para esto, se realiza una revisión sobre 4 mecanismos cognitivos (desregulación emocional, carga cognitiva, autocontrol y autoeficacia [nuevo]), y se evalúa el efecto de estos mecanismos cognitivos, tanto en sus rasgos como en sus fluctuaciones de estado, sobre el logro de una tarea de valor específica: un examen parcial de los estudiantes participantes. Se encuentra que los cambios de estado en autoeficacia, autocontrol, carga cognitiva y desregulación emocional tienden a estar relacionados entre sí. También, los datos arrojan que la carga cognitiva rasgo tiene un rol importante en la explicación del nivel de logro en tareas de valor, así como el logro pasado en tareas similares y el estatus socioeconómico de los participantes. Si bien el objetivo es arrojar luces sobre las relaciones presentadas con respecto a la trampa de la pobreza, se reconoce que la aproximación aún es limitada dada la población escogida, y las técnicas de medición y análisis de datos utilizadas. Se recomienda para próximos estudios fortalecer el diseño de investigación utilizado para seguir estudiando, cada vez de manera más adecuada, el rol de los mecanismos cognitivos en la perpetuación o salida de trampas de pobreza.
dc.description.abstractThis paper seeks to identify the role of different cognitive mechanisms in the perpetuation of the poverty trap using a sample of university students. For this, a review made on 4 cognitive mechanisms (emotional dysregulation, cognitive load, self-control and self- efficacy [new]), and the effect of these cognitive mechanisms, both in their traits and in their state fluctuations, on the achievement of a specific value task is evaluated: a partial examination of the participating students. It is found that state changes in self-efficacy, self- control, cognitive load and emotional dysregulation tend to be related to each other. Also, the data show that trait cognitive load plays an important role in explaining the level of achievement in value tasks, as well as past achievement in similar tasks and the socioeconomic status of the participants. Although the objective is to shed light on the relationships presented with respect to the poverty trap, it recognizes that the approach is still limited, given: the population chosen, the measurement and data analysis techniques used. It is recommended for future studies to strengthen the research design used to continue exploring, more adequately, the role of cognitive mechanisms in the perpetuation or exit of poverty traps.
