Resumen
La cultura es un elemento clave para determinar las emociones que experimentan las personas cuando enfrentan la muerte. Estudios recientes han mostrado la existencia de un esquema emocional específico ante la muerte (en comparación con estímulos emocionales desagradables o relacionados con la violencia) influenciado por las diferencias individuales, el aprendizaje, así como los contextos sociales y culturales. El objetivo de la investigación fue comparar la respuesta afectiva de dos grupos de participantes (ingleses y españoles) ante diferentes tipos de imágenes afectivas (agradables, desagradables/relacionadas con la violencia, relacio nadas con la muerte y neutras). Un total de 38 adultos jóvenes participaron en una evaluación emocional usando un conjunto de imágenes procedentes del International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Indicaron los valores de valencia, activación y dominancia para cada imagen. Los resultados muestran que las imágenes relacionadas con la muerte fueron menos desagradables y provocaron menos activación para la población inglesa, mientras que no hubo diferencias en las imágenes desagradables/violentas entre los grupos.
