Priming Effects on Commitment to Help and on Real Helping Behavior
2014
Years of research on bystander apathy have demonstrated that the physical presence of others can reduce the tendency to help individuals needing assistance. Recent research on the implicit bystander effect has suggested that simply imagining the presence of others can lead to less helping behavior on a subsequent unrelated task. The present study was designed to contribute to previous findings on the implicit bystander effect by demonstrating these effects on commitment to help and on real helping behavior, rather than simply on intentions to help. Studies 1a and 1b demonstrate that merely priming participants with the construct of being in a group at Time 1 created significantly less commi…
The Zero Violence Brave Club: A Successful Intervention to Prevent and Address Bullying in Schools
2021
Bullying among peers in schools is a growing problem affecting children and adolescents from an early age worldwide. The consequences of bullying victimization in the emotional development of children and youth and their academic achievement are adverse for them and the rest of the school community, with its negative impact extending into the mid and long run. The Zero Violence Brave Club is implemented in schools in the framework of the Dialogic Model of Violence Prevention, a successful educational action according to the INCLUD-ED project [Strategies for inclusion and social cohesion in Europe from Education] (6th Framework Program of Research of the European Commission). The Zero Violen…
L’OPACIZZARSI DEL CONFLITTO FRA GIOVANI E ADULTI E L’AFFERMARSI DELLA VIOLENZA FRA PARI
2013
L'ipotesi formulata in questo lavoro riguarda la possibilità che la violenza intra-generazionale ha preso il posto di conflitto intergenerazionale tra i giovani e gli adulti. In altre parole, la violenza non è una modalità di comportamento interpersonale ma il substrato, la base su cui è articolato un insieme complesso di interdipendenze e trasversali azioni e reazioni tra pari. Ne consegue un modello di coesione deviante, che ci permette di affermare che: 1 la violenza esplode senza conflitti o escludendo qualsiasi possibilità di conflitto e della successiva mediazione e negoziazione tra gli attori sono coinvolti nella relazione anzi; 2. La violenza è diventato l'unico "collante" tra giova…

Antitumor Cell-Complex Vaccines Employing Genetically Modified Tumor Cells and Fibroblasts
2014
The present study evaluates the immune response mediated by vaccination with cell complexes composed of irradiated B16 tumor cells and mouse fibroblasts genetically modified to produce GM-CSF. The animals were vaccinated with free B16 cells or cell complexes. We employed two gene plasmid constructions: one high producer (pMok) and a low producer (p2F). Tumor transplant was performed by injection of B16 tumor cells. Plasma levels of total IgG and its subtypes were measured by ELISA. Tumor volumes were measured and survival curves were obtained. The study resulted in a cell complex vaccine able to stimulate the immune system to produce specific anti-tumor membrane proteins (TMP) IgG. In the g…
Prosocial priming and bystander effect in an online context.
2022
The present study tested the effect of priming the concept of prosociality on the bystander effect in an online environment. Participants were sent an e-mail requesting a plea for help and randomly assigned to one of four conditions in a 2 (Bystander: 0 vs. 14) × 2 (Priming: present vs. absent) design. The results demonstrated support for the study hypothesis. As expected, the virtual presence of many others significantly reduced e-mail responsiveness except when the request for help is preceded by prosocial priming. Implications of these findings for the literature on the bystander effect and priming are discussed.
