La Autodiscriminación como Manifestación de la Autoestigma en Estudiantes Universitarios
Resumen
Los estereotipos sociales pueden ser incorporados progresivamente por las personas hasta convertirse en creencias personales, favoreciendo procesos de autoestigma y posibles conductas autodiscriminatorias. En este contexto, el estudio tuvo como propósito aportar evidencia empírica sobre la presencia de conductas de autoexclusión en estudiantes universitarios. Se desarrolló bajo un diseño descriptivo, con una muestra de 587 estudiantes, a quienes se aplicó un instrumento que presentó niveles adecuados de validez y confiabilidad. Se demostró que el 70,2 % de los estudiantes presenta un nivel bajo de autoexclusión; sin embargo, el 25,7 % alcanza un nivel medio y el 4,1 % un nivel alto, lo que evidencia la presencia del fenómeno en aproximadamente tres de cada diez estudiantes. En las dimensiones evaluadas, el 34,9 % presenta un nivel medio y el 4,9 % un nivel alto de internalización de estereotipos. Asimismo, el 5,8 % evidencia un nivel alto de rechazo de la identidad étnico-racial. Respecto a las experiencias discriminatorias, el 29,8 % se ubica en nivel medio y el 4,6 % en nivel alto. Finalmente, el 33,0 % presenta un nivel medio de autoexclusión y el 4,3 % un nivel alto. Los hallazgos evidencian diferentes grados de autodiscriminación en el ámbito universitario.
