We are the people and you are fake news: a social identity approach to populist citizens’ false consensus and hostile media perceptions

2018

This study aims to investigate the relationships between citizens’ populist attitudes, perceptions of public opinion, and perceptions of mainstream news media. Relying on social identity theory as an explanatory framework, this article argues that populist citizens assume that public opinion is congruent with their own opinion and that mainstream media reporting is hostile toward their own views. To date, only anecdotal evidence suggests that both assumptions are true. The relationships are investigated in a cross-sectional survey with samples drawn from four Western European countries ( N = 3,354). Multigroup regression analysis supports our hypotheses: False consensus and hostile media p…

Associated factors to psychiatric morbidity in postmenopausal phases.

1998

Abstract Background: The greatest risk of psychiatric morbidity during the climacteric years is linked to a greater exposure to stressful life experiences, women's dissatisfaction with their role in society and to an absence of social backup. The question to be posed now is the extent to which the longitudinal surveys can confirm, refute or complement the results of the cross-sectional analyses. Methods: A study involving population-based cohorts was carried out on a sample of 120 women who had been previously identified as being premenopausal or menopausal during a cross-sectional examination conducted between 1987 and 1988 within the city of Valencia (Spain). The aims were to analyze the …

Malinteso e conflitto: il sottile confine tra negoziare e agire

2014

"Misunderstanding" originates from the comunicative difficulties that arise between two people or groups due to linguistic or cultural issues, and stems from the difficulties produced by the difference between the subjects involved in a relationship. A peculiarity of misunderstanding is the anticipation of a possible resolution. This allows us to keep the relationship in a suspended state, preserving its progression while waiting for clarification or separation. By contrast, in a conflictual situation, both partners are engaged in a long-lasting relationship, which transforms the contenders' nature itself. Indeed, both the parties involved in a conflict shape themselves in a reciprocal rela…

Viittomakielisten nuorten aikuisten käsityksiä kaksikielisyydestään

2017

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka viittomakielisten nuorten aikuisten kaksikielisyyttä on heidän lapsuudessaan ja nuoruudessaan tuettu (vai onko tuettu lainkaan?) ja minkälaisia vaikutuksia tällä on heidän multimodaalisen kaksikielisyyden käsitykseen tutkimushetkellä. Tarkoituksena oli tarkastella aihetta kielen käytön sekä kulttuuriin identifioitumisen näkökulmasta. Tutkimuskysymykset ovat: Millainen käsitys viittomakielisillä nuorilla aikuisilla on kaksikielisyydestään ja kaksikulttuurisuudestaan? Miten viittomakielisten nuorten aikuisten kaksikielisyyden kehittymistä on heidän omasta mielestään tuettu? Miten viittomakieliset nuoret aikuiset toivoisivat lasten kaksikieli…

Trust and team identification at multicultural workplaces : perceptions of Finnish HR professionals

2017

Growing global mobility has rapidly diversified workplace demographics across the world. Finland that has traditionally been considered a relatively uniform nation in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity has also experienced a shift in its population in recent decades. Despite the growing multiculturalism, established diversity management practices are yet to be developed in many Finnish organizations, and the subject has not gained much academic attention either. Still, competent intercultural leaders are often vital for both successful business results and for the well-being of their multicultural teams. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the current state of international human…

El monumento como instrumento de identidad nacional. El caso italiano

2018

Between 1860 and 1950 Italian architecture had the task of building the modern image of a young nation. Politics asked to architects to convey, through their work, identity messages to the collectivity. This process was particularly present during the period of fascism (1922- 1943), at the disposal of the government of Benito Mussolini. Through strong messages deeply rooted to the ancient Roman tradition, fascism sought to restore a national identity that would guarantee the duration of the regime. The fundamental elements on which constituted this identity were the memorial monuments, places where the mass of the people feels the need to recognize each other to express the cult of the home…

Colonie, Imperi e Migrazioni. Un inquadramento postcoloniale dell'Europa multiculturale

2012

The article considers the multicultural roots of the European Union from a postcolonial perspective. Therefore, European history is outlined from colonialism to imperialism, concluding with recent regulations on international migration. The etymology of the terms colony and culture, both derived from the Latin verb colĕre (to cultivate), is the link that connects these themes, highlighting a conception of the relationship between Europeans and the otherness based on exploitation and domination. Through this view, differential colonialism merges with social self representation (antropopoiesi) inherent in the concepts of culture and education and already disclosed by the Greek paideia.
