For example, they applied it to male and female students at a public university in Sinaloa, a northern state in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They found that: \u201cthe more sexist attitudes a person has, the less open they will be to a vision of new masculinities and vice versa,\u201d explains V\u00e1zquez. Although this association may sound obvious, their study demonstrates it with evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To their surprise, another of their findings was that, among these students, there is a <strong>high rate of women with sexist behaviors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2075-4698\/13\/5\/104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third study<\/a>, they analyzed the relationship between complex thinking and the presence of sexist behaviors. <a href=\"\/en\/human-social\/complex-thinking-for-the-future-of-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complex thinking<\/a> is a set of cognitive skills that allow us to s<strong>olve problems or real-life situations<\/strong> by connecting different aspects of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn it, scientific thinking, argumentation, innovation and creativity are used to question what we have been taught and see things in a different way,\u201d explains the researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the study, they used both their scale to measure machismo attitudes and a tool to measure complex thinking in students. They found that both men and women who showed a<strong> low level of complex thinking<\/strong> were those who had a higher rate of sexist attitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This idea was confirmed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/378308455_Positive_Masculinities_and_Complex_Thinking_A_Study_of_Mexican_University_Students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">another study<\/a> where they measured the <strong>relationship between complex thinking and positive masculinities<\/strong>, finding that those who showed more complex thinking were more open to positive masculinities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cComplex thinking is a valuable skill not only for our professional development, but also to help us build our identity,\u201d says V\u00e1zquez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Towards a Future of Equality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, their studies indicate that the country still has a long way to go to achieve positive masculinities for the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To broaden the scope and fully understand the phenomenon, V\u00e1zquez invites other interested research groups to collaborate with the team to continue studying the <strong>prevalence of machismo in different states of the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key aspect to advance towards equality is to <strong>promote critical thinking in schools<\/strong>, in order to move together towards a more prosperous future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn Mexico, these gender norms are very rooted in society, which in turn impact the vision of <strong>what it means to be a man and a woman,<\/strong>\u201d he says.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Were you interested in this story?

Mi trabajo ha sido publicado en medios como Science, Science News, Newsweek, Nexos, \u00bfC\u00f3mo ves?, entre otros. Estudi\u00e9 Biolog\u00eda en la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM y ah\u00ed descubr\u00ed mi pasi\u00f3n por comunicarle a todas las personas el conocimiento cient\u00edfico y su relevancia social. Creo que la ciencia, al fomentar el pensamiento cr\u00edtico, puede empoderar a la humanidad y, al ser la base de los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos, puede ayudarla a vivir en las mejores condiciones posibles.","url":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/author\/igutierrez\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
