    Hate speech e inteligencia emocional en estudiantes Universitarios
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2025-02-24) Toapanta Chiriboga, María Fernanda; Pino Loza, Eulalia Dolores
    Hate speech is a historical issue that, with the expansion of the internet and social media, has intensified and spread rapidly, negatively affecting social cohesion and emotional well-being. This phenomenon is characterized by discriminatory expressions directed at individuals or groups based on traits such as ethnic origin, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. In the university context, these divisive narratives can impact students, who face challenges related to their emotional ability to manage and respond to these adverse situations. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and the role played in response to hate speech among university students, using two previously validated instruments. The sample consisted of 160 students from the Social Work program at the Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Through a quantitative approach, data were collected and analyzed using statistical tools that allowed for the identification of behavioral patterns and relationships between the study variables. The results showed a significant correlation between emotional intelligence levels and participation in hate speech contexts. Students with higher emotional intelligence skills were less likely to take on roles as victims, perpetrators, or passive observers in hate speech situations. Additionally, it was found that students’ emotional intelligence levels fluctuate throughout their academic training, improving in intermediate stages but declining in the later semesters, possibly due to factors such as academic stress and professional anxiety. It is noteworthy that emotional intelligence not only acts as a protective factor against hate speech, but also fosters assertive responses and reduces the prevalence of these negative dynamics. Skills such as self-control, empathy, and social competence proved essential for managing interactions related to hate speech. Furthermore, it was observed that Social Work students tend to adopt a measured observer role rather than that of victims or perpetrators; this passivity could perpetuate the phenomenon if it is not transformed into preventive or intervention actions.

    El stalking en redes sociales digitales en la etapa de enamoramiento en estudiantes universitarios
    (Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2024-02) De La Cruz Tubón, Karen Dayana; Martínez Bonilla, Carlos Alberto
    Stalking in digital social networks during the infatuation stage refers to the inappropriate use of intemet browsing that relates to communication with one's partner, through online applications where posts, connectivity, location, and views are activated, in order to stalk, control, harass, and intrude repeatedly and intrusively. The research focused on analyzing the influence of stalking during the infatuation stage in university students, specifically examining the factors and characteristics of digital harassment in Communication students at the Technical University of Ambato. A mixed approach was used, using the survey as a quantitative technique and the questionnaire to assess abuse in teenage relationships (CARPA) created by Calvete, Machinbarrena, González, and Fernandez in 2021, consisting of 21 items distributed in four dimensions - online control, actions, reactions, and self-perception of the relationship. The target population consists of 360 young people, with a sample of 187 individuals, within a limited range of 18 to 25 years old. In the qualitative part, a focus group with 3 participants who were stalking victims was conducted using the interview guide created by Zbairi in 2015, consisting of five questions that covered the dimensions of knowledge, experimental situation, past experiences, victim's perspective, and solution opinions. This exploratory, descriptive, and correlational study employed an analytical-synthetic, hypothetical-deductive, and inductive method. The results reveal the presence of problematic behaviors, showing appropriate use of digital platforms and influence on romantic relationships. The perception of stalking derives from digital violence, referring to a neologism of espionage, for obtaining information and control of movements. Based on the schematization of the narratives, the lack of knowledge about stalking and gender differences in responses highlight the need for a gender-sensitive approach in understanding and addressing digital stalking in university settings.

    La legislación penal ecuatoriana y perspectiva de género
    (Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2023-09) Buenaño López, Eduardo Vinicio; Acosta Morales, María Gabriela
    This research aims to shed light on the biases present in the Ecuadorian judicial system, particularly in relation to gender crimes. It focuses on challenging and dismantling stereotypes that may influence judicial decisions, aiming to create a justice administration that is impartial, equitable, and respectful of all gender identities. Preliminary findings suggest a lack of adequate knowledge and understanding by the judicial system when it comes to gender crimes. This knowledge gap not only undermines justice but can also have devastating consequences for the victims of these crimes. Since the classification of femicide as a specific crime in Ecuador in 2014, more than 1,200 cases have been registered. However, until September of the current year, just over 400 conviction sentences have been issued. This number, however, does not account for the severity of the crimes, as many of these sentences seem not proportional to the severity of the damage caused by the perpetrators. Moreover, it has been observed that sentences rarely include adequate reparations measures for the victims. To better understand these issues, judges and experts in criminal law were interviewed, who provided valuable insights and knowledge for the research. The findings suggest a widespread negligence in the administration of justice in cases of gender crimes, which further exacerbates the trauma and injustice experienced by the victims.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2020-11) Aldaz Logroño, Cristhian Alberto; Acosta Morales, María Gabriela
    The purpose of this certificate is to analyze the execution of the integral reparation of the victim in the commission of the crime of murder. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, substantive and procedural norms are analyzed both in criminal, civil and constitutional matters that make up Ecuadorian positive law. International standards and doctrinal and jurisprudential sources that serve as support for the investigation are also analyzed. The methodology used is based on a qualitative, descriptive, non-experimental investigation of bibliographic documentary design, using as an analysis technique the hermeneutics of records that derive from the direct and passive observation of legal documents. It was obtained as an outstanding conclusion that the Ecuadorian legislation despite not expressly establishing comprehensive reparation to the victim in the crime of murder; However, the legal assumptions in force for other criminal offenses are applicable in cases of comprehensive reparation of the victim of the crime of murder, whose estimate of the damage to be repaired is made in the sentence declaring the guilt of the accused.
