CAMINO, Leoncio Francisco; LEAL, Tatiana Cavalcanti de Albuquerque; SILVA, Saulo Bagatini  e  MENDOZA, Roberto. Analysis of the political crisis in Brazil from 2013 to 2018: a psychosociological perspective. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.54, pp. 431-448. ISSN 2175-1390.

This text analyzes the political crisis that Brazil faced, from 2013 to 2018. It analyzes how the crisis was experienced and how different elements that constitute this context were articulated in citizens consciousness. An empirical study was carried out with 158 undergraduate students in order to understand how the ideological struggle in Brazil translates into people's opinion about the types of political conflict and how these representations are reflected in perceptions about the crisis. The data show the existence of a strong political polarization and corroborate that the way in which individuals locate themselves in the political space is very important to understand the meaning that they will give to the crisis. Finally, the study shows the importance of the representations of the social structure of the conflict as an ideological matrix underlying political behavior.

Palavras-chave : Political Crisis; Political space; Party identification; Ideological polarization; Representations.
