Resumen
PARAMO, Pablo y ROA, Edgar. The conceptual structure of urban fears. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.11, n.1, pp.135-146. ISSN 1794-9998.
This paper focuses on fears experienced by the dwellers of the city and the conceptual structure shared on the situations that currently are feared. The results of 130 semi-structured interviews aimed at identifying the most common fears of men and women associated with the city and the conceptual structure underlying these fears are analyzed. The results were analyzed trough a Multidimensional Scaling, which identified the conceptual fear structure of participants to different situations. Actions in an attempt to reduce the perception of insecurity in the city are proposed.
