Abstract
This paper describes the outcomes of a study about the differences among Psychology students from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile and Spain in sociodemographic aspects, attitudes about emigration, use and confidence in mass media, attitudes towards politics (electoral participation, interest in politics, etc), participation in groups and associations, confidence in institutions and stressful life events. Participants have important similarities (gender, age, training, etc.) and also have relevant differences in some aspects; some of those could be linked to the different economic and social development of the four countries.
