- Abstract
The problem of inequality in the distribution of wealth and the importance and contribution of social psychology in its discussion and understanding, in relation to individualism and cultural collectivism (CI), is raised. A critical content analysis based on a systematic search of scientific literature was carried out, giving priority to the bibliography of the last ten years, with the aim of analyzing the influence of the individualist-collectivist orientation of culture on inequality and inequality. socioeconomic stratification from a psychosocial perspective. After reviewing the literature, the content was organized in descending logic, from the most general to the most particular. First, a relationship between psychology and culture is presented; Next, the cultural CI is presented from an ecological perspective. Subsequently, the CI is reviewed with respect to the image of itself. Next, the CI is linked with its vertical and horizontal perspectives. Finally, associations between CI, socioeconomic inequality and social stratification are presented. It is proposed that there is a relationship between individualist-collectivist cultural orientation and socioeconomic inequality, where more collectivist societies show higher levels of inequality, which may be related to a higher level of social conformism, tolerance of injustice and obedience to law. authority, which are part of the way in which hierarchical structures that are mental and material are built psychosocially, at the same time, in both dimensions they dynamically interdepend with each other.
