Life satisfaction and tax morale: The role of trust in government and cultural orientation
2022
Taxes are essential for a government to function correctly, because they fund public services and promote long-term growth in a country. Tax morale is a positive attitude toward taxation shaped by extrinsic and intrinsic motivations, including numerous psychological factors. However, these factors are far from completely clear and a better understanding of what drives tax morale can greatly help governments in the design of tax policies and their administration. In this paper we test the novel hypothesis that life satisfaction is one of the psychological aspects affecting tax morale. Using longitudinal data from the World Value Survey, we show that people more satisfied with their own life …
Sensibilidad intercultural y satisfacción con la vida en alumnado autóctono e inmigrante
2019
El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido explorar la relación entre diversas variables personales y escolares (empatía, autoconcepto y percepción de ayuda del profesor), la sensibilidad intercultural y la satisfacción con la vida en alumnado de tercer ciclo de educación primaria. Además, se han analizado posibles diferencias en estas variables entre alumnado autóctono e inmigrante. En esta investigación participaron 473 alumnos (92,2% autóctonos; 7,8% inmigrantes), 52% chicos y 48% chicas, de entre 10 y 13 años (M = 10,79; DT = 0,74).

Political and religious aspects of community according to Kant
2016
Based on the concept of community, Kant's conception of religion may be connected, on my view, to the question of which mental attitude is suitable for the collective life of human society. It is possible to imagine a successful community, even if such a community does not exist in the empirical world, and to be oriented toward this ideal without ever being able to realize it. According to Kant, human moral self-understanding is developed by human reason, and this explains the structural similarity between the secular republic and the Kingdom of God under the specific conditions of the enlightened consciousness of a person who thinks for herself. Thus the anthropological "fact": the self-un…
Les systèmes éducatifs engendrent-ils des inégalités de bien-être ? : une recherche comparative internationale
2018
This study investigates the association between post-secondary education and well-being in international comparative perspective, conceptualizing well-being as a capability-informed measure of flourishing. Based on a combined human capital–capability approach, post-secondary education, operationalized as highest post-secondary educational credential, is hypothesized to relate positively with well-being net of individual-level and country-level controls at both the micro and macro levels of analysis. Prominent critiques of these approaches, suggesting indirect effects through occupational sorting at the individual level and economic factors at the country level, are also explored.Beyond thes…
“La victoria de la técnica”, según Ortega y Gasset (una alternativa a Heidegger)
2013
ABSTRACT Ortega y Gasset's "Mediation on Technique" is part of his historical diagnostic of modern and contemporary life, wich we can resume by means of the expression "the victory of technique". But, secondly, Ortegian reflections upon technique is decisive for understanding human being, its reason and universal history. And, thirdly, it represents an alternative to the herdeggerian way, not only in relation to technique, but to philosophical thinking in general, although wothout accepting naturalism as way out. RESUMEN “Meditacion de la tecnica” de Ortega y Gasset forma parte del diagnostico historico de la vida moderna y contemporanea, que puede resumirse mediante la expresion “la victo…
The Role of Employees’ Work Patterns and Office Type Fit (and Misfit) in the Relationships Between Employee Well-Being and Performance
2018
Nearly half of workers agree that their workspace is unsuitable for their work tasks. Furthermore, it is assumed that happy workers often perform better than unhappy ones. Nevertheless, due to the effect of the emotional-cognitive processes, the misfit between employees’ office type and their work patterns (complexity and interactivity) may hamper this relationship between well-being and performance. This diary study on 83 office workers ( n = 603 time points) combines information about work patterns identified by using cluster analysis with Neufert’s office type classification. Results show that the work pattern–office type (mis)fit moderates the relationship between well-being and perfor…

Pupils' psychosocial skills in primary education : analysis of their relationship with teaching practices and pupil achievement
2021
The explanation of the differences in success between pupils in primary schools has already mobilized a great deal of research in the field of education. In this thesis, we explore the development of six psychosocial skills (WHO, 1994): cooperation, empathy, self-control, anxiety, self-esteem and internality. Given the prevalence of the effect of teaching practices on the student's educational pathway (Bressoux, 1994, 2001; Hanushek, 2002, 2014), we hypothesized that (1) the interactional profile of primary school teachers was related to the level of development of psychosocial competencies, and (2) the level of development of psychosocial competencies in relation to the teachers' profile h…
Beyond the eidetics of living beings: contingency, plasticity, individuality
2021
Saving living phenomena means saving their contingency, their plasticity, their individuality. A fruitful dialogue between metaphysics, phenomenology and morphology can be of help to investigate the ontological question of form, giving us the possibility to investigate the question of form and its epistemological significance providing a revision of that eidetic approach which instead is in danger of losing the sense of the continuous plastic morphogenesis of living beings.
