Resumen

La corrupción es una práctica extendida en las sociedades actuales que, a pesar de su relevancia social, se ha estudiado desde postulados mayoritariamente economicistas. Se revisó y analizó de manera crítica este fenómeno desde distintos aportes de la psicología social, tanto en el ámbito anglófono como latinoamericano. En el primer caso, se destaca la in-fluencia del comportamiento de los iguales y las normas sociales, las percepciones de riesgo, el papel de las emociones, la ética comportamental y la relación de la corrupción con el poder. Por su parte, los modelos latinoamericanos centran su interés en la influencia de las estructuras supraindividuales, como los valores éticos y las instituciones, en la conducta de los individuos. Se propone que la investigación apunte hacia el estudio de los principales factores psicosociales de manera sistemática y hacia la formulación de marcos teóricos específicos que expliquen este fenómeno social.
