Resumen
En la última década, la literatura en ciencia política ha introducido un nuevo concepto denominado “polarización afectiva” para caracterizar una forma de polarización política en la que predominan actitudes de favoritismo por el propio grupo y desprecio hacia el grupo rival. Este nuevo concepto nace en un escenario de fuerte tensión entre grupos políticos rivales en diversas democracias modernas. En este artículo, presentamos una revisión sistemática y crítica de la literatura empírica sobre polarización afectiva. El objetivo es poder realizar sugerencias metodológicas a tener en cuenta en la futura investigación en esta área. Como punto positivo, destacamos la variedad de medidas que se han utilizado para medir la polarización afectiva, desde medidas explícitas e implícitas hasta conductuales. Criticamos la ambigüedad con la que viene siendo utilizado el concepto de polarización afectiva, sugiriendo maneras de sobrepasar los problemas identificados. También señalamos la necesidad de una definición precisa de los objetos hacia los cuales las actitudes van a ser medidas. Por último, resaltamos la necesidad de mayores esfuerzos para establecer la validez convergente y discriminante del constructo de polarización afectiva.
In the last decade, the political science literature has introduced a new concept called “affective polarization” to describe a form of political polarization in which attitudes of favoritism for one’s own group and contempt for the rival group predominate. This new concept is born in the context of strong tension between rival political groups in different modern democracies. In this article, we present a systematic and criticalreview of theempirical literature on affective polarization. The goal is to present methodological suggestions to be taken into account in future research in this area. As a positive aspect, we highlight the variety of measures that have been used to measure affective polarization, from explicit and implicit to behavioral measures. We criticize the ambiguity with which the concept is being used, suggesting ways to overcome the identified problems. We also point out the need for precise definition of the objects towards which political attitudes are to be measured. Finally, we highlight the need for further efforts to establish the convergent and discriminant validity of the affective polarization construct.
