    La desconexión moral y su relación con la empatía en personas privadas de la libertad
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2024-03-01) Monar Orozco, Gabriela de Lourdes; Gaibor González, Ismael Álvaro Psi.Cl. Mst.
    Violence has increased exponentially in recent years as a consequence, the prison population has grown, having repercussions not only on a social level, but also on the mental health of the population. The objective of this research was to identify whether there is a relationship between moral disengagement and empathy in persons deprived of liberty. A quantitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out. A sample of 96 persons deprived of liberty over 18 years of age, held in a prison in Ecuador, were administered the Moral Disconnection Questionnaire (MMD) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Moral Justification and Perspective Taking were found to be the mechanisms that correlated slightly but inversely, the other mechanisms that make up both variables were not correlated. It appears that persons deprived of liberty do not take into account the perspective of the other tending to justify at a cognitive level their behavior that may be reproachable.
