Carlos Marcelo Reyes Valenzuela, Gino Grondona-Opazo, Marcelo Rodríguez
The present study explores gender differences in aspects related to political-religious ideology and emotional expression in people reported in the Report of the Truth Commission of Ecuador (ICVE), which compiled information on human rights violations in the period 1983-2008. Sixty-four direct victims participated, evaluating perception by political-religious ideology, assessment of the work of the Commission, affectivity and social sharing of emotions. The results identify statistically significant differences between men and women in the variables of age, ideology, evaluation of the ICVE and social inhibition (all p < .05). The implications of a gender analysis in subsequent phases of Truth Commission work in Latin America are discussed.
