La generatividad a través de la cultura. Una revisión sistemática

Esta revision sistematica pretende resolver la controversia que existe en la relacion entre generatividad y cultura, para asi clarificar el modo de estudio generativo desde una perspectiva cultural en futuras investigaciones empi-ricas. Los articulos incluidos en la revision, publicados entre 1990 y 2019, debian ser articulos cientificos revisados por pares con contenido explicito acerca de am-bos terminos. En la busqueda se utilizaron cinco bases de datos combinando repo-sitorios multidisciplinares con bases especializadas, obteniendo un total de treinta articulos elegibles para esta revision ( n = 30). El analisis de los articulos se articu-la en cuatro categorias que aportan informacion acerca de diferentes dimensiones de la relacion entre ambos conceptos: los limites de la generatividad cultural, com-paraciones transculturales de la estructura de la generatividad, efectos e interpre-taciones culturales de la generatividad y evidencias culturales de su aplicacion y utilidad potencial. En conclusion, los aspectos mas psicologicos que estructuran la generatividad son comunes interculturalmente, sin embargo, los motivos, la con-cepcion y la interpretacion del comportamiento generativo parecen variar intensa-mente de un tipo de cultura a otra. This systematic review aims to resolve the controversy that exists in the relationship between generativity and culture, in order to clarify the approach of generative study from a cultural perspective in future empirical research. The articles included in the review, published between 1990 and 2019, should be peer-reviewed scientific articles with explicit content about both terms. In the search, five databases were used combining multidisciplinary repositories with specialized databases, obtaining a total of thirty articles eligible for this review ( n = 30). The analysis of the articles is divided into four categories that provide information about different dimensions of the relationship between both concepts: the limits of cultural generativity, cross-cultural comparisons of the structure of generativity, effects and cultural interpretations of generativity, and cultural evi­dences of its application and potential usefulness. In conclusion, the most psycho­logical aspects that structure generativity are common interculturally, however, the motives, conception and interpretation of generative behavior seem to vary in­tensely from one type of culture to another.
