Mental constructions and psychological distancing: a bibliometric study

Resumen

We live here and now. What has happened or will happen and what is physically, temporal, or socially distant requires transcending the here and now in a way that we can imagine, conceive, or represent what is not near. Just as we physically moving away from an object we lose focus on the details and begin to notice its general characteristics the psychological distancing in relation to events, people, objects, locations and possibilities changes our view of them. The distinct mental representations of near and distant events are the focus of the Construal Level Theory (CLT). We analyzed, through a bibliometric study, the development of the CLT in two periods, seeking to identify the origins of theory, its unfolding and eventual untying of authors and seminal theories that supported its development. The results of the exploratory factorial analysis of the citations in the two periods studied indicate that the CLT dissociates itself from the seminal theories that grounded it by gaining its own theoretical body
