Profile

Professor Josué Rafael Tinoco Amador is interested in social thought processes; he considers that in a culture like ours, religious and political beliefs are fundamental to understanding the behaviors of everyday life: Religion is not limited to the experience of religious worship but is expressed in helping behaviors, respect for others, respect for rules, risk perception, forms of communication and interaction.

The study of religion makes it possible to identify sexual, political, and family patterns that affect people's collective behavior. Thus, the work carried out in the last ten years has focused on looking at social phenomena from the outside. The advantages offered by psychosocial analysis allow us to observe from another approach that religion is more present in people's lives.

In a recent seminar on religion, he has observed that religion is still thought of as a duality of thought, as if good and evil were the only ways in the world of religion. However, due weight needs to be given to what people have to say about how religion is "lived" in people's daily lives. Without the need to take for granted that religion remains an incessant struggle between a binomial that no longer corresponds to social reality. One of the advantages of looking at religion in a different way allows us to see that there is a relationship between political phenomena - to cite one example - and religious phenomena.

This phenomenon must be understood and analyzed from the perspective of the subjects themselves and the contributions that social psychology and the phenomena of religion can provide.

Thus, one of the purposes of her research refers to the search for how religion is experienced these days in different scenarios. For example, with the new SARS-COV 2 pandemic (COVID-19) that has been unleashed throughout the world and particularly in Mexico, the processes of conspiratorial thinking, which has sectarian behaviors, have become evident and is generating new ways of living religiosity, beyond religious structures. It is precisely these forms that social psychology needs to unveil.

These are just two examples of the need to create studies of religion with the different phenomena occurring in these times.
