Resumen

Objetivo: Examinar cómo la identidad social y la observación de apoyo social influyen en la solidaridad y la eficacia colectiva tras el sismo de 2017 en México. Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal con 100 estudiantes de la UNAM, utilizando el instrumento de Drury et al. (2016) y preguntas abiertas. Los datos se recolectaron mediante cuestionarios en línea. Resultados: La identidad social predice significativamente el apoyo emocional y coordinado, así como la eficacia colectiva. La observación de actos de apoyo fomenta comportamientos prosociales y una mayor resiliencia tanto personal como comunitaria. Conclusiones: La identidad social y la observación de apoyo son cruciales para promover la solidaridad y la resiliencia comunitaria. El estudio subraya la importancia de estrategias que fortalezcan estos factores para una recuperación efectiva y el empoderamiento comunitario. Se recomienda implementar políticas públicas que refuercen la identidad social y la organización comunitaria para mejorar la respuesta a desastres.
