A partir de un proyecto de investigación UBACyT , se ha elaborado este trabajo con el objetivo de indagar la percepción de la confianza institucional, el poder institucional, la percepción de problemas sociales y el clima emocional social, que una muestra general de la Argentina posee. Asimismo, se busca comprender y ahondar en la relación entre estos indicadores y que efectos generan en la población estudiada. El estudio es descriptivo-correlacional, con una muestra general de 1018 participantes (66% mujeres), residentes en diversas provincias del país. Los resultados indican que los participantes perciben altos niveles de desconfianza y le adjudican mayor poder a aquellas instituciones que más desconfían, perciben que las personas tienen problemas en diversas áreas de la vida social, que justamente son primordiales para poder tener una buena calidad de vida como son conseguir un trabajo, vivir tranquilamente y conseguir una vivienda. Finalmente todos estos indicadores, se relacionan con la percepción de un clima social emocional negativo. En conclusión,se observa que no sólo las personas creen que hay mal funcionamiento institucional sino que perciben emociones negativas, es decir, estas creencias negativas tienen su correlato emocional y social, que merma la calidad de vida de las personas.
