Muestreos utilizados en investigación educativa en España
2002
En este trabajo se expone un estudio bibliográfico de distintas investigaciones que se han publicado recientemente en España, en las actas de congresos sobre educación. De todas las investigaciones que se han revisado, se analiza el tipo de muestreo que han empleado, cómo han sido seleccionadas y la aplicación de los instrumentos para la recogida de información, así como la forma en que han sido recogidos esos datos. Se pretende resaltar la importancia de la selección de muestras representativas, sobre todo para que los resultados tengan mayor relevancia y repercusión en el desarrollo del conocimiento educativo.
Consumer biases in the perception of organizational greed
2022
This article extends current models of how consumers judge or perceive organizations as greedy by employing the theoretical framework of motivated moral reasoning. We show that inherent features of an organization (size and “black sheep” status) and its behavior (relative frequency) bias consumer perceptions of organizational greed. We use an experimental methodology, present subjects with vignettes describing different scenarios, validate our questionnaire using confirmatory factor analysis, and test our hypotheses by employing a general linear model with covariates. Our findings suggest that consumer perceptions of organizational greed are subject to three effects: the underdog effect (St…
Attentional biases toward emotional images in the different episodes of bipolar disorder: an eye-tracking study.
2014
Attentional biases toward emotional information may represent vulnerability and maintenance factors in bipolar disorder (BD). The present experimental study examined the processing of emotional information in BD patients using the eye-tracking technology. Bipolar patients in their different states (euthymia, mania, depression) simultaneously viewed four pictures with different emotional valence (happy, neutral, sad, threatening) for 20 s while their eye movements were monitored. A group of healthy individuals served as the control. The data revealed the following: (i) a decrease in attention to happy images in BD patients in their depressive episodes compared to healthy individuals, and (ii…

Mindfulness, empatía y compasión: Evolución de la empatía a la compasión en el ámbito sanitario
2019
En el ámbito de la atención a la salud mental, la empatía es un aspecto especialmente importante, ya que supone la base sobre la que se sostiene elvínculo terapéutico y se articulan las diferentes actuaciones psicológicas, al facilitar un entendimiento de la vida y de las situaciones de los pacientes. En este sentido, las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness y compasión (IBMC) se han mostrado efectivas para aumentar la empatía en los profesionales sanitarios. Sin embargo, actualmente siguen existiendo algunas inconsistencias en el estudio de la empatía y su relación con mindfulness y compasión. En este artículo, se expone una visión global de estos constructos, subrayando la importancia de…
Propagation of precipitation measurement biases into the hydraulic modelling of urban drainage systems – A case study of the Parco D’Orleans sub-urba…
2020
Aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of Precipitation Measurement Biases (PMBs) of tippingbucket rain gauges onto the hydraulic modelling of urban drainage networks. As a case study, the monitored experimental suburban catchment of Parco d’Orleans located in the University Campus of Palermo, Italy and managed since 1987 by the Department of Engineering of the University of Palermo is considered. . Two tipping-bucket rain gauges provide a good spatial coverage of the catchment area and an acoustic level gauge is installed at the outlet of the drainage network for flow mesaurements. Contemporary high temporal resolution rainfall and runoff data series are available between 1993 to 1998…
Perché le teorie liberali moderate non devono temere la behavioral economics o la heuristics and biases psychology
2021
In this article I will explain the content of soime cognitive bias and the content of liberal theories. I will argument that people commit less cognitive errors than Conly and others think. Secondly, some behaviours that Conly and others think are cognitive bias are not. Finally, it is clear in the studies of Kahneman and Tversky that the majority of cognitive bias are not incorrigibles (in the correct sense of this word)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BEHAVIORAL FINANCE: FROM MANAGERIAL BIASES TO IRRATIONAL INVESTORS
2014
Corporate governance is concerned about the ways in which investors assure themselves of getting a return on their investment, on one hand, and is focus on motivating managers to increase the company profit, on the other hand (the agency theory). Corporate governance emerges from the interaction between managers and investors. Managers are often more likely to invest the extra cash-flow or profit than to return it to shareholders. But, both managers and investors are lees then fully rational. Sometimes their behavior is based on cognitive psychology. In this context, we are dealing with two problems: managerial biases and irrational investors. Managerial biases focus on the illusion of opti…

2023
The world of public research seems at first sight to be very little concerned by themanagement issues of the business world in which the right decisions must be taken and forwhich there is an obligation to perform. The very idea of coaching researchers seemsincongruous. The purpose of this study is to challenge this idea, by describing precisely whatthe profession of researcher is in the world of public research - their belonging to very complexstructures and the demanding challenges they have to face - then by studying thecontributions of cognitive-behavioural coaching methodologies. The analysis of the practiceshows that coaching based on constructivist psychology can lead to a better pra…
