Resumen
El concepto de preferencias es central en la teoría de la decisión y, de manera derivada, en la teoría de juegos. En las últimas décadas, especialmente de la mano de la economía conductual o experimental, este concepto se ha ido ampliando para incorporar, aparte de las preferencias frente al riesgo y al tiempo, a las denominadas preferencias sociales y, a partir de ellas, poder describir (y en algunos casos explicar) una mayor generalidad de hechos sociales.
Este trabajo propone una estrategia que combina aspectos experimentales y observacionales para realizar una validación de criterio que permita una calibración de las mediciones de (algunas de) las preferencias sociales, especialmente aquellas que se consideran pertinentes tanto en el capital social y la gobernanza de las comunidades locales. El potencial producto de esta estrategia es una batería de ítems, calibrados experimentalmente, que pueda ser incluida en cuestionarios basados en diseños observacionales, ampliando de este modo considerablemente el campo de aplicación de este tipo de mediciones. Se estima que este tipo de productos pueden ser de utilidad a trabajadoras sociales y trabajadores sociales, dado su usual trabajo en territorio y, más en general, a cientistas sociales en sentido amplio, que necesiten la medición de preferencias sociales a poblaciones medianas o grandes en su respectivo lugar de origen.
Cabe destacar que estas dos últimas características usualmente son costosas o inviables de lograr siguiendo estrategias experimentales.

The concept of preferences is central in decision theory and, derivatively, in game theory. In recent decades, especially in the hands of behavioral and / or experimental economics, this concept has been expanded to incorporate, apart from preferences against risk and time, the so-called social preferences and, based on them, to describe (and in some cases explain) greater generality of social facts. This work proposes a strategy that combines experimental and observational aspects to perform a criterion validation that allows a calibration of the measurements of (some of) social preferences, especially those that are considered pertinent both in social capital and the governance of local communities. The potential product of this strategy is a battery of items. experimentally calibrated, that can be included in questionnaires based on observational designs, thus expanding, across this way, the field of application of this type of measurement. It is estimated that these types of products can be useful to social workers, given their usual work in the territory and, more generally, to any social scientist who needs to measure social preferences for medium or large populations in their respective place of origin. It should be noted that these last two characteristics are usually expensive or unfeasible to achieve following experimental strategies.
