In COVID-19 Health Messaging, Loss Framing Increases Anxiety with Little-to-No Concomitant Benefits: Experimental Evidence from 84 Countries
2022
Contains fulltext : 284232.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) The COVID-19 pandemic (and its aftermath) highlights a critical need to communicate health information effectively to the global public. Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it more effective to frame COVID-19 health messages in terms of potential losses (e.g., "If you do not practice these steps, you can endanger yourself and others") or potential gains (e.g., "If you practice these steps, you can protect yourself and others")? Collecting data in 48 languages from 15,929 participants in 84 countries, we…
How environmental gain messages affect cause involvement, attitude and behavioural intentions: the moderating effects of CSR scepticism and biospheri…
2022
PurposeThis study examines the direct effect of outcome message frames (gain vs loss) on cause involvement and the moderating roles of consumers' corporate social responsibility (CSR) scepticism and biospheric values. Furthermore, the authors analyse (1) the effects of gain-framed messages on consumer attitudes towards an environmental cause (i.e. the use of reusable coffee cups) and towards the company promoting the cause (a coffee shop chain); (2) how consumer attitudes towards the cause affect their attitudes towards the company; and (3) how consumer attitudes towards both the cause and the company affect their behavioural intentions towards both the cause and the company.Design/methodol…
The effects of populism as a social identity frame on persuasion and mobilization: evidence from a 15-country experiment
2020
This article investigates the impact of populist messages on issue agreement and readiness for action in 15 countries (N = 7,286). Specifically, populist communicators rely on persuasive strategies by which social group cues become more salient and affect people's judgment of and political engagement with political issues. This strategy is called ‘populist identity framing’ because the ordinary people as the in‐group is portrayed as being threatened by various out‐groups. By blaming political elites for societal or economic problems harming ordinary people, populist communicators engage in anti‐elitist identity framing. Another strategy is to blame immigrants for social problems – that is, …
Análisis comparativo de las funciones de predicción del riesgo cardiovascular SCORE y Framingham y sus versiones calibradas, SCORE calibrada y REGIDO…
2009
Introducción: Las recomendaciones del ATPIII y las SSCC europeas en prevención primaria cardiovascular aconsejan para la estimación del riesgo individual las funciones de Framingham y SCORE respectivamente. Ambas disponen de versiones calibradas para la población española. Todas, excepto Framingham(ATPIII), han sido derivadas para aplicarlas en un rango de edad limitado. Por otra parte, ninguna de estas funciones predice el riesgo cardiovascular total, ya que SCORE y SCORE calibrada sólo estima el riesgo de muerte y Framingham(ATPIII) y REGICOR el riesgo coronario. Sin embargo todas las medidas preventivas van dirigidas a la prevención de la enfermedad cardiovascular globalmente y las funci…
Loss framing effect on reducing excessive red and processed meat consumption: Evidence from Italy
2023
A reduction of meat consumption is crucial for addressing public health problems, especially in industrialized countries. Among low-cost interventions, emotionally provocative health-information strategies could be effective options in fostering meat reduction. Through an online experimental survey, administrated to a quota-based national sample (N = 1142), this study analysed the profile of Italians consuming red/processed meat above World Health Organization (WHO) recommended amounts. Via a between-subjects design, the research tested whether two health frame-nudges (societal impact and individual impact of over consumption) persuaded these individuals to reduce future meat consumption. R…
Brevi note sulla qualificazione giuridica dei beni costituenti la rete ferroviaria
2015
The paper synthetically describes how Italian courts and scholars interpret- ed the legal transformations occurred to the railway market, and notably to the rail-network’s infrastructure components property regulation, since the end of the twentieth century. The authors refute the (prevailing) opinion assuming a substantial continuity between the current stage of regulation and the regime of public property provided by the 1942 civil code; they show the reasons why, on the contrary, the rail-network components have to be considered as goods sub- ject to private property law both on the formal and the substantial floor. For this purpose, the paper emphasizes how the public interests aimed by…

Talking about Migration: the Online Discourse of Some Italian Political Party Leaders
2020
The aims of the article are to deconstruct the frames of migration crisis embedded on the official web sites, social networks and blogs belonging to the leaders of the main Italian political parties, positioned on different points of the left or right political spectrum, in the period 2015-2016. According to the relevance of the Italian context, we are also going to study the position of a party that can be considered a post-ideological movement that represents itself as outside of a traditional political spectrum: the Five-star Movement. We analysed text, images and videos published on the Internet 2.0 sites in order to show the legacy of colonialism that was characterized by the ambivalen…

The European media discourse on immigration and its effects: a literature review
2018
To understand public opinion about immigration in Europe, one has to understand the media’s role in it. We present a literature review on research on media discourse on immigration and their effects. Despite differences in the way immigration and migrant groups are represented in European media, we can observe common patterns. Migrants are generally under-represented and shown as delinquents or criminals. Although, media framing differs based on specific migrant groups the discourse is focusing on, immigration coverage is often negative and conflict-centred. Frequent exposure to such media messages leads to negative attitudes towards migration, may activate stereotypical cognitions of migra…
