cycle advancement. The life cycle in its integrity becomes the nucleus of natural intelligence’s informational
processes, including the consistent expression of emotions along the maximization of fitness occasions. In human
societies, the overall ‘economy’ of social emotions is manifest, showing up in the conspicuous interplay between
bonding processes and different classes of social emotions. The essential link between natural intelligence,
emotions, and the life cycle of individuals may harmonize with current progresses – and blind spots – of artificial
intelligence fields such as ‘sentiment analysis.’

Abstrak dengan mendekati konsep Kecerdasan Alami, sebuah jalan baru mungkin terbuka dalam berbagai permasalahan
teoretis dan terapan tentang emosi sosial. Tidak ada keraguan bahwa kecerdasan muncul sebagai fenomena
biologis/informasional, meskipun secara paradoks tidak ada penjabaran yang konsisten mengenai konsep tersebut.
Mengenai emosi, statusnya tidak jelas, sering kali dibatasi pada pendekatan antropologis atau etologis yang lebih
dekat dengan paradigma behavioris. Di sini kami mengusulkan jalur yang berbeda, berpusat pada kemajuan siklus
hidup. Siklus hidup dalam integritasnya menjadi inti dari proses informasi kecerdasan alami, termasuk ekspresi
emosi yang konsisten sepanjang pemaksimalan kesempatan kebugaran. Dalam masyarakat manusia, keseluruhan
'ekonomi' emosi sosial terwujud, terlihat dalam interaksi yang mencolok antara proses ikatan dan berbagai kelas

Pengantar 1. Pendahuluan: Mendekati kecerdasan alamiah

Salah satu cara untuk mendekati kecerdasan alami dalam hubungannya dengan emosi sosial adalah dengan
menempatkan kontrasposisi antara dua jenis kecerdasan: alami dan buatan. Dalam kontradiksi ini, emosi muncul
sebagai salah satu komponen mendasar dari kecerdasan alami, namun pada saat yang sama emosi merupakan salah
satu target yang paling dihargai dari kecerdasan buatan yang diterapkan secara sosial—inti dari “ekonomi
perhatian” (attention economy). Lanham, 2006). Dalam pendekatan kita terhadap emosi sosial dari sudut pandang
yang pertama, kita akan mendapatkan banyak manfaat dari pencapaian biologis baru-baru ini, dengan mencoba
menerjemahkan ke dalam masyarakat manusia sebuah konseptualisasi yang konsisten berdasarkan intersepsi arus
informasi dalam siklus hidup seluler. Kami akan menunjukkan bahwa sifat informasional kita sebagai “individu
seluler” gabungan melibatkan penyebaran emosi yang pelit dalam pencapaian kebugaran individu dalam
lingkungan sosial. Tantangannya adalah bagaimana membangun sebuah narasi kompak yang dapat mengarah pada
siklus sel hidup hingga perilaku otak hewan dan individu manusia dalam struktur sosial. Itulah tepatnya tujuan
utama dari pekerjaan ini.

Mari kita perjelas terlebih dahulu apa yang kami maksud dengan istilah 'kecerdasan alami' yang jarang digunakan. Hal ini dapat
dipastikan, atau lebih baik diinisiasi, melalui

sintesis multidisiplin yang berbeda di antara sejumlah bidang baru yang secara progresif muncul seiring dengan
revolusi biomolekuler dan komputer beberapa dekade terakhir: epistemologi evolusioner, autogenesis, autopoiesis,
bioinformasi, kognisi biologis, biosibernetika, biosemiosis, komputasi alami, bioinformatika, biokomputasi,
bioteknologi, biologi sintetik , biologi sistem, dan sebagainya. Pandangan sintetik yang berbeda tentang beberapa
bidang ini dapat ditemukan di (Armitage dkk., 2005; Corning, 2020;Ganja, 2002;Ganja dan Navarro, 2022;Perez
Velasquez, 2009; Shklovskiy-Kordi dan Igamberdiev, 2022; Slijepcevic, 2018;Timsit dan Gré goire, 2021;van Duijn,
2017). Mari kita perhatikan bahwa istilah kecerdasan sering muncul dalam karya-karya ini, mengacu pada
pemrosesan informasi dan sering kali diperluas ke sel, multiseluler, tumbuhan, sistem saraf, kawanan, dan
masyarakat hewan (Kalvo, 2016; Gershenson, 2021;Solé dkk., 2019;Trewavas, 2017). Namun panorama
konseptualnya jauh dari koheren. Memang, kecerdasan berpartisipasi dalam kesulitan konseptual dari serangkaian
konsep yang sangat terkait seperti informasi, makna, nilai, dan pengetahuan. Faktanya, apa pun bidangnya, konsep
tersebut menjadi tidak dapat disangkal, dan dianggap sebagai informasi yang erat dengan berbagai definisi
pragmatis – terlalu banyak! – terkait dengan bidang tradisional yang menerapkannya: psikologi, ilmu sosial, ilmu
kognitif, ilmu komputer, dll.

mencari interkoneksi yang bermanfaat antara metodologi analisis sentimen dengan kecerdasan alami, yang penting
Pembahasan adalah kemungkinan mendeteksi tidak hanya emosi secara langsung dalam kumpulan teks, keseluruhan valensi,
atau alur lintasan, namun juga menyaring pola kontekstual yang mungkin memicu emosi. emosi yang berbeda. Ini
merupakan bagian dari masalah besar 'konteks', yang dipenuhi dengan jebakan semantik untuk analisis otomatis
apa pun. Enam sumbu pola yang telah kami identifikasi sebelumnya, tiga untuk kasus antarindividu dan tiga lainnya
untuk identitas kolektif, dapat didekati secara sementara melalui beberapa metode bootstrap dan pengklasifikasi
subjek baru yang dipadukan dengan pembelajaran mendalam.

Untuk memfasilitasi eksplorasi AI semacam ini, diperlukan sikap pelit. Mungkin, dengan cara yang sama seperti “kelompok membentuk
emosi” dan “emosi membentuk kelompok” (van Kleef dan Fischer, 2016), kita dapat menyatakan bahwa “konteks membentuk emosi”
dan “emosi membentuk konteks”. Dialektika ini dapat diwujudkan melalui model analisis sentimen yang dilengkapi dengan leksikon
yang memadai di mana kata-kata yang sarat emosi menciptakan konteks (yang kemudian diidentifikasi sebagai pola), dan kehadiran
pola kontekstual membantu mengenali kata-kata emosional lebih lanjut. Leksikon harus dibangun dengan lebih banyak kompleksitas
batin, setiap kata diproyeksikan pada awalnya ke semua (tiga atau enam) sumbu yang ada, dengan gradasi valensi yang lebih kompleks,
dan entah bagaimana membuat hubungan yang memperkuat dengan kata-kata emosional lainnya yang ada dalam kalimat atau
paragraf. Ini adalah metodologi bootstrap yang dirancang dan diimplementasikan melalui NLP dan analisis sentimen. Untuk
memulainya, model sederhana yang terkait dengan setiap polaritas sumbu pola dapat dikembangkan.

Singkatnya, kemajuan pesat bidang baru analisis sentimen, penambangan opini, komputasi afektif, dan AI
emosional, serta berbagai penerapannya di media sosial, pemasaran, layanan kesehatan, survei sosial, perkiraan
politik, dll., meskipun agak Berbeda dengan pandangan- pandangan yang dikemukakan di sini, hal ini juga dapat
mewakili sejumlah peluang bagi kemajuan penelitian jenis baru mengenai emosi sosial... Apakah penerapan AI di
masa depan dapat melampaui “zaman kapitalisme pengawasan” saat ini (Zuboff, 2019) atau tidak, mungkin juga
bergantung pada relevansi penelitian yang diimbangi.

kemajuan siklus hiduplah yang memandu interaksi informasi dengan lingkungan. Kita dapat mempertimbangkan
Simpulan secara umum bahwa emosi adalah kekuatan batin yang memanipulasi lintasan perilaku (atau genetiko-molekuler)
sistem biologis yang sedang berlangsung sehingga peluang kesesuaian baru dalam lingkungan dapat terwujud
dengan baik sepanjang perjalanan hidup.

Kecerdasan alami harus mempelajari pengorganisasian “aliran informasi” yang dikombinasikan dengan lingkungan,
serta sumber daya pemrosesan internal yang terlibat. Trik molekuler yang melekat dalam faktor sigma, dalam pos
pemeriksaan eukariotik, atau dalam sirkuit saraf dari pola tindakan persepsi yang tetap, fleksibel, atau
suprastruktural, semuanya menjadi contoh ad hoc dari kecerdasan alami (biologis).

Dalam pendekatan terhadap emosi sosial, kami ingin memperhatikan minat penelitian terhadap
sosiotipe. Memang benar, konstruksi genotipe dan fenotipe spesies manusia, terlepas dari tingkat
variabilitasnya masing-masing, dapat disertai dengan metrik sosiotipe, yang mewakili keteguhan
relatif dari lingkungan sosial dasar di mana individu-individu spesies kita akan beradaptasi secara
evolusioner.

Domain relasional yang berbeda dalam sosiotipe penting untuk pendekatan yang lebih bernuansa
terhadap emosi sosial. Kita harus menekankan perbedaan antara emosi primer untuk lingkaran
relasional terdekat ('ikatan kuat'), emosi sekunder untuk hubungan antarindividu ('ikatan lemah'),
dan akhirnya beberapa emosi tersier hipotetis untuk domain ultrasosial. Secara keseluruhan, ada
keanggunan desain, sebuah nyataekonomi, dalam korespondensi evolusioner antara kelompok emosi
dan kelas ikatan sosial.

Kemudian, sebagai strategi penelitian, daripada mencari klasifikasi emosi yang lebih canggih, atau
daftar yang lebih luas, kami telah menunjuk pada pola kontekstual yang memandu penyesuaian
sosial- emosional kami. Sumbu pola antarindividu dan ultrasosial yang diusulkan di sini hanyalah
tebakan, namun melalui bootstrap analisis sentimen kita dapat mulai mewujudkan konteks/emosi
keterhubungan dialektis. Setelah itu, penyempurnaan klasifikasi dan perluasan daftar emosi dapat
direnungkan dan dikembangkan dengan cara baru.

Pendekatan terakhir kami terhadap analisis sentimen dalam kecerdasan buatan saat ini telah menunjukkan bahwa
mungkin ada hubungan yang efektif dan efisien antara program penelitian dari dua cabang kecerdasan tersebut—
ada cukup potensi penelitian untuk menerapkan kekuatan AI pada emosi sosial dan keadaan pemicunya.
Kecerdasan alami versus kecerdasan buatan: apa yang dipisahkan harus dipersatukan kembali.

Abstract

This paper presents the major ideas on social psychology at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th at the Royal
School of St Elizabeth (Real Colegio de Santa Isabel) in Madrid. First of all, the school reflects the different social strata: pupils
from the upper and lower classes. Secondly, within the framework of a predominantly Christian culture, the interest in universal
education was manifested in providing free education to the more disadvantaged pupils in Madrid at that time. It was a society
that respected the social strata, projecting differential psychology of diverse characteristics depending on the social class. The
pupils from the upper class received the type of education that reflected their social status, while the curriculum for the lower
class reflected their own social status. These differences were mitigated as the culture gave rise to a global social psychology
whose exponent is the school presented here.

The Royal School of St Elizabeth in Madrid is one of the oldest schools in the capital of Spain, which is
still in existence today. It was founded by Philip II of Spain in 1592 as an orphanage and run by the Augustinian
Recollect nuns, who lived in the nearby convent, until 1649 when it passed into the hands of lay teachers. In 1863
the school was entrusted to the Daughters of Mary Escolapias congregation until 1876 (Sánchez Hernández, 1997,
p.48).

The Assumptionist nuns took over the School in 1876 and it was set up for girls belonging to the ruling
class (HCOL, 1876-1978, p.1), like the other schools run by the same Congregation in various countries of Europe
(ACOSTA, 1931,p.22). However, from the very beginning the Assumptionist nuns started a free school in the same
building for poor girls from the Lavapiés district. It can be affirmed that from a socio-psychological point of view
there was segregation based on social class in the Royal School of St Elizabeth and it was possible to carry out
differential psychology studies in this centre.

There were two entrances to the building; the main door with the coat of arms of Philip V on the lintel
opened onto a hall that was tiled halfway up, with a commemorative plaque of the benefactor Carlos Borja y
Centelles, who made significant improvements to the school during the 18th century. This was the entrance for the

boarders and day pupils. The other entrance was on the other side of the building, below the governor’s house and
was a simple door which led to a few classrooms for the poor pupils of the Free School.

Two Sisters of the Assumption, Sister María Fuensanta and Sister Pilar and the many others who followed,
were devoted exclusively to this stimulating and evangelical task until 1920 when Sister María Nieves took charge
of the School, assisted by a lay sister who also taught and took care of the girls. There were 250 pupils (HCOL,
1876-1978, p. 1). From 1925, the pupils who received free schooling used the same uniform as the boarders
(Annals of 1876-1996, 2 pp.259). This did not change essentially between 1876 and 1942 (Annals of 1876-1996, 5,
p.6). The pupils of the Free School at Saint Elizabeth's did not mix with the fee-paying pupils until 1964. This meant
that segregation lasted a long time.

After the Civil War of 1936-1939, one must stress the consolidation of another charitable initiative, a
Sunday School founded in 1929 for young female workers and employees of St Elizabeth's, where sewing, typing,
music theory and French were taught to those from the Free School who had finished their primary studies. On 30
April, 1945, Dolores Capdevila y Cardona received the Pro Ecclesia et Romano Pontifice medal for her
collaboration in the Sunday School (Annals of 1876-1978, 5 p.133).

The Annals of St Elizabeth's offer more detailed information on the interest shown for the needy as well as
the free school. From its inception, the boarders, who were from the upper class, spent one day making clothes for
the poor, according to the school guidelines given to the parents who wanted to enrol their daughters.

The inauguration of the Ropero de St Victoria (the church organisation that delivers clothing among the
poor), which had been in operation since 1927 to provide clothing to the needy, marked another milestone in social
consciousness for St Elizabeth's pupils. The honorary president was Princess Beatriz, daughter of Alfonso XIII
(Annals of 1876-1996 2, pp.303-325).

Since 1901, on the Epiphany, 6 January, the School had held a lottery or raffle to raise money for the poor.
The drawing was sometimes presided by Princess María Paz, sister of Alfonso and Princess María Teresa, sister of
Alfonso XIII (Annals of 1876-1978, 1 p. 202).

Another charitable initiative, of a spiritual nature, was promoted in 1934 by Mother Inés María Montes
Jovellar, Superior of the School, through St Elizabeth's Catholic Action, which provided religious education to poor
women and their children in the district (Annals of 1876-1978, 3 p. 147).

In the spring of 1942, the Bishop of Madrid-Alcalá asked the mothers of the pupils at St Elizabeth's to
organise a Ropero-Dispensario (an establishment providing food and clothing for the poor) in La Elipa district of
Madrid and where catechism was also taught (Annals of 1876-1978,4 p.386). The pupils contributed voluntarily by
donating one peseta every Saturday.

To promote this project, on 29 April 1942 a meeting, chaired by Monsignor Eijo y Garay, bishop of
Madrid-Alcalá, was held in the Church of St Francis the Great (San Francisco el Grande). Thanks to the efforts of
the women convened and the support of Mr Piugdollers, a good friend of the School of the Assumption (Colegio de
la Asunción), the prelate of Madrid was able to organise a provisional Ropero-Dispensario on November 19th of
the same year to coincide with the feast of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, patron saint of the School. On 20 November
1945 the Dispensario, which was visited by the Home Secretary and Doctor Gómez Ulla among other personalities
could be considered completed (Annals of 1876-1978 5, p.100).

These types of activities formed part of the collective social psychology of the ruling class in Spain at the
beginning of the 20th century.

From what has been mentioned, it must be emphasized that at St Elizabeth's there was clear social
segregation from the very beginning of the period analysed (1876). In one building different sections were used for
classes for girls of the same age, but from different social classes. More than a century had to go by before thit
segregation came to an end.

The curriculum of the upper class girls (boarders and day pupils) was also different from that of the poor
girls (day pupils); in the first case, the goal the Agustinian nuns had in mind when the school was founded, was to
offer the teaching and knowledge that the society demanded. The Assumptionist nuns taught all the subjects
themselves. English and French were taught by the nuns from the Orders of the respective countries, and all the
lessons were in one language or the other at the higher levels, special attention being paid to Spanish and grammar.

It can be said, therefore, that at the higher levels at St Elizabeth's there was real linguistic immersion,
especially for the boarders, which was very positive bearing in mind that we are talking about the 19th century.

The academic year at the end of the 19th century lasted 10 months, from October to July, and the basic
subjects taught were: Spanish, French, English and needlework. In addition (paying separately) the girls could study
what was termed finishing classes: music, singing, drawing, German, Italian and gymnastics.

On the other hand, secondary school education was not introduced at St Elizabeth's until 1927. That was
the first year pupils had to take an entrance examination and when they finished secondary school they sat the
examination at the Cisneros Institute in Madrid. In February 1929, at the request of many parents, secondary school
education was definitively established at St Elizabeth's. Very soon, good results were obtained, since in 1931, for
example, 60 pupils from the school passed their school leaver's exam with distinction. However, St Elizabeth's
continued teaching general culture for those who did not wish to obtain the secondary school leaver's certificate
(Annals of 1876-1996 2, p. 303).

With regard to the Free School, the poorer day pupils only attended primary school, but there is no
record of the subjects taught in the Annals although the curriculum probably consisted of reading, writing
and basic arithmetic. From 1925, the girls from the Free School began to wear the same uniform as those
from The Royal School of St Elizabeth, a measure of social cohesion (HCOL, 11).
It is difficult to judge social segregation at the The Royal School of St Elizabeth from today’s perspective.
It must also be emphasised that we cannot feel responsible for how a pupil from the poor district of Lavapiés felt in
the same class as a pupil from a well-off family from the rich district of Salamanca at the end of the 19 th century. In
all likelihood, they felt uncomfortable and preferred to be with those of their own kind. In addition, it should be
noted that there was constant social awareness at the School of the Assumption through activities such as sewing,
raffles, the Saturday peseta, the dispensario.

Once the pupils from the Free School finished primary school, they could enrol in the Sunday School,
aimed at working women and maids, which, as previously mentioned, began in 1929. They were taught
dressmaking, typing, music theory and French (Annals of 1876-1996, 2 p.238).

Another aspect of social collective psychology for the pupils of St Elizabeth's were the numerous visits the
school received, evidence of which is found in the volumes of the school’s Annals.

Between 1876 and 1945, the Papal Nuncio, representative of the Holy See in Spain, visited the school on
twenty occasions. The first few visits of the secretary to the Nuncio, Mr Guidé, were in 1879 and 1880, followed by
two visits by the Nuncio Angelo Bianchi that same year (1880).

Often, the papal legates presided over certain religious ceremonies such as first communions, Corpus
Christi processions or novices taking their vows. This was the case of Nuncios Mariano Rampolla (1883, 1886),
Angelo di Pietro (1890) or Aristide Rinaldini (1907). On other occasions, they visited St Elizabeth's to officiate at

funeral masses, like those of Pope Leon XIII by Nuncio Rinaldini in 1903, or Jaime Cardona y Tur, the Royal
Chaplain buried in St Elizabeth's church, whose funeral service was officiated by Nuncio Federico Tedeschini (AGP
PER 2611/39). These visits helped to strengthen the bond between the School and the authorities in Rome.

During the period considered for this study, the School and nuns at St Elizabeth's gladly received the visits
of Mother María Eugenia de Jesús, founder of the Assumption Congregation, who was in Madrid in September 1878
and in October 1894. Later, Mother Superiors of the Assumption came to Madrid on thirteen occasions: Mother
Marie Celestine del Buen Pastor (1898, 1900, 1902, 1905, 1911, 1913 y 1917) and Mother Joanna de L’Incarnation
(1922, 1930, 1941, 1943 y 1944). In this way the ties were strengthened between the School and the Motherhouse of
the Assumption Congregation.

The Royal Chaplains made 24 visits to the Royal School between 1876 and 1931. Cardinal Benavides y
Navarrete were at St Elizabeth's in 1877, 1878 and 1890; Royal Chaplain Moreno Mazón visited on four occasions
between 1881 and 1884. Before 1892 they had only visited the School on three occasions. From then on and until
1922, Royal Chaplain Jaime Cardona y Tur frequently visited the St Elizabeth's board of governors, of which he was
head between 1877 and 1888. Between 1925 and 1931, the Royal Chaplains lavished attention on the School; they
visited ten times, eight of which were by Royal Chaplain Muñoz Izquierdo. The visits helped to strengthen the
relationship of the royal prelate and the Royal School.

Between 1885, the year the Diocese of Madrid-Alcalá was founded, and 1945, four of the seven prelates of
Madrid visited the School: Monsignor Ciríaco María Sancha (1888 and 1891); Monsignor Victoriano Guisasola
(1904 and 1905); Monsignor Prudencio Melo y Alcalde (1919 and 1922) and Monsignor Leopoldo Eijo y Garay
(1926 and 1930.

The Royal School of St Elizabeth also received prelates from places where the Congregation had expanded
to: this is the case of the Archbishop of Manila (1889, 1902 and 1907), and the Archbishops of Mondoñedo (1888),
Tenerife (1905 and 1934), Oviedo (1889 and 1907) and León in Nicaragua (1913).

Special mention is made in the Annals of the frequent visits of another Spanish prelate, Monsignor Enrique
Almaraz, who was the confessor to the Order of the Sisters of St Elizabeth between 1886 and 1893. He was
appointed Bishop of Palencia (1893), Archbishop of Seville (1907), Cardinal (1911) and Archbishop of Toledo
(1920). He visited the School on eleven occasions between 1895 and 1920. Another prelate linked to the School,
Cardinal Casanova, confessor to the pupils in 1908, visited St Elizabeth's in 1927.

The School held fairly numerous receptions for religious Superiors such as the Abbot of Silos (1885 and
1903), the Superior of the Assumptionists Fathers (1885), the Provincial of the Jesuits ( 1914) or the Superior of the
Dominicans (1926).

Moreover, between 1880 and 1915 St Elizabeth's received prelates from distant countries or unusual
visitors for that time, such as a bishop from a Syrian denomination (1880), the Bishop of Bucharest (1882), an
Australian Bishop (1883), the Armenian Patriarch (1903) or the Cardinal of Quebec (1915) (Annals of 1876-1978,
4, 113).

The girls at St Elizabeth's became so accustomed to the visits of the prelates, that they were psychologically
predisposed to venerate, respect and obey them, according to the teachings of the School and the practical
application which these pastoral visits made a reality.

Another great field of the collective social psychology of the pupils at The Royal School of St Elizabeth in
Madrid was the visits of the royal family.

King Alfonso XIII had entrusted the Assumptionist nuns with running the School of the Assumption in
1876 (HCOL, (1876-1978). p.5), a royal foundation since Philip II established it in 1592.

The royal family still attends regularly prize-giving ceremonies, school plays or just for the pleasure of
seeing the mother superiors and pupils at their everyday activities, to which they join in with simple and pleasant
familiarity (HCOL, (1876-1978). 9). This summary of the history of the School in the 1920s, makes it easy to
understand the relationship between the royal family and The Royal School of St Elizabeth.

Between the foundation of the School in 1876 and the advent of the Second Republic in 1931, the Annals
of St Elizabeth's make reference to the following visits of the royal family:

- Princess Isabel (daughter of Isabel II): 11 visits between 1877 and 1926.
- Princess María de la Paz (daughter of Isabel II): 5 visits between 1879 and 1906.
- Princess Eulalia (daughter of Isabel II): 3 visits between 1879 and 1883.
- Alfonso XII (son of Isabel II and the crown prince): visited on 30-4-1883 and 6-7-1884.
- María de las Mercedes de Orleans y Borbón (first wife of Alfonso XII) visited on 4-12-1877 and 16-5-
1878.
- María Cristina de Austria (second wife of Alfonso XII): 11 visits between 1883-1905; as queen mother,
5 visits up to 1926.
- Alfonso XIII, before reaching adulthood, 8 visits between 1894 and 1902; in 1904 he visited the School
of Malaga. As king, he visited the School with Victoria Eugenia de Battenberg in 1914 and 1923.
- Princess Mª Mercedes de Borbón (sister of Alfonso XIII); 1 visit in 1896.
- Princess Mª Teresa de Borbón (sister of Alfonso XIII); 4 visits between 1896 and 1908.
- Reina Victoria Eugenia de Battenberg: visited in 1906, 1914, 1917.
- The children of Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia when they were young: 1911, 1916, 1920, 1922.
- Princesses Beatriz and Cristina (daughters of Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia): 1927, 1930.

academic year.

This social intercourse between the pupils at the School of the Assumption and the Spanish royal family
was without doubt intense; this brought about, in the girls as well as the teachers and the families of the pupils,
great devotion for the monarchy which, at the end of the 1920s, was going through a critical period with the
establishment of the Second Spanish Republic.

The visits from the ecclesiastic and civil authorities to the pupils of the Royal School of Saint Elizabeth
were doubtlessly another opportunity for these pupils to socialise and to become aware of the world of influence, be
it religious or civil, to which they were destined as members of the designated ruling classes.

Abstrak Tulisan ini memaparkan gagasan-gagasan besar psikologi sosial pada akhir abad ke-19 dan awal abad
ke-20 di Royal School of St Elizabeth (Real Colegio de Santa Isabel) di Madrid. Pertama-tama, sekolah
mencerminkan strata sosial yang berbeda: siswa dari kelas atas dan bawah. Kedua, dalam kerangka
budaya yang mayoritas beragama Kristen, minat terhadap pendidikan universal diwujudkan dalam
memberikan pendidikan gratis kepada siswa yang kurang beruntung di Madrid pada saat itu. Itu
adalah masyarakat yang menghormati strata sosial, memproyeksikan psikologi diferensial dari
beragam karakteristik tergantung pada kelas sosial. Siswa kelas atas mendapat jenis pendidikan yang
mencerminkan status sosialnya, sedangkan kurikulum kelas bawah mencerminkan status sosialnya
sendiri. Perbedaan-perbedaan ini dimitigasi ketika budaya memunculkan psikologi sosial global yang
eksponennya adalah aliran yang disajikan di sini.

Pengantar School of St Elizabeth di Madrid adalah salah satu sekolah tertua di ibu kota
Spanyol
masih ada sampai sekarang. Didirikan oleh Philip II dari Spanyol pada tahun 1592 sebagai panti asuhan dan
dijalankan oleh para biarawati Augustinian Recollect, yang tinggal di biara terdekat, hingga tahun 1649 ketika biara
tersebut diserahkan ke tangan guru awam. Pada tahun 1863 sekolah tersebut dipercayakan kepada jemaah Putri
Mary Escolapias hingga tahun 1876 (Sá nchez Herná ndez,1997, hal.48).

Para biarawati Asumsi mengambil alih Sekolah tersebut pada tahun 1876 dan didirikan untuk anak
perempuan yang tergabung dalamkelas yang berkuasa(HCOL, 1876-1978, hal.1), seperti sekolah-
sekolah lain yang dijalankan oleh Kongregasi yang sama di berbagai negara Eropa (ACOSTA, 1931,
hal.22). Namun, sejak awal para biarawati Asumsi memulai sekolah gratis di tempat yang sama
bangunan untuk gadis-gadis miskin dari distrik Lavapié s. Dapat ditegaskan bahwa dari sudut
pandang sosio-dari sudut pandang psikologis terdapat segregasi berdasarkan kelas sosial di Royal
School of St Elizabeth dan studi psikologi diferensial dapat dilakukan di pusat ini.

Ada dua pintu masuk ke gedung itu; pintu utama dengan lambang Philip V di
ambang pintu dibuka ke aula yang setengahnya dilapisi ubin, dengan plakat peringatan
dari dermawan Carlos Borja y Centelles, yang membuat perbaikan signifikan pada sekolah
tersebut selama abad ke-18. Ini adalah pintu masuknya
Pembahasan sisi lain, pendidikan sekolah menengah baru diperkenalkan di St Elizabeth's pada tahun
1927
siswa tahun pertama harus mengikuti ujian masuk dan setelah menyelesaikan sekolah
menengah mereka mengikuti ujian di Institut Cisneros di Madrid. Pada bulan Februari
1929, atas permintaan banyak orang tua, pendidikan sekolah menengah secara definitif
didirikan di St Elizabeth's. Hasil yang baik segera diperoleh, karena pada tahun 1931,
misalnya, 60 siswa sekolah tersebut lulus ujian kelulusan sekolah dengan sangat baik.
Namun, St Elizabeth terus mengajarkan budaya umum bagi mereka yang tidak ingin
memperoleh sertifikat lulusan sekolah menengah (Annals of 1876-1996 2, p. 303).
Simpulan Disebutkan secara khusus dalam Catatan Sejarah kunjungan rutin prelatus Spanyol lainnya,
Monsignor Enrique Almaraz, yang merupakan bapa pengakuan Ordo Suster St Elizabeth antara tahun
1886 dan 1893. Ia diangkat menjadi Uskup Palencia (1893), Uskup Agung Seville (1907), Kardinal
(1911) dan Uskup Agung Toledo (1920). Dia mengunjungi Sekolah tersebut sebelas kali antara tahun
1895 dan 1920. Prelatus lain yang terkait dengan Sekolah tersebut, Kardinal Casanova, bapa
pengakuan para murid pada tahun 1908, mengunjungi St Elizabeth pada tahun 1927.
Bidang besar lain dari psikologi sosial kolektif para murid di The Royal School of St
Elizabeth di Madrid adalah kunjungan keluarga kerajaan. Jenis aktivitas ini merupakan
bagian dari psikologi sosial kolektif kelas penguasa di Spanyol pada awal abad
ke-20.
