Although mobile payments have gained considerable attention in academic research, there still are major gaps in our more in-depth understanding of the antecedents of their acceptance and use.

Beyond good and evil: The impact of digital environment in family life

2019

Internet has changed the way we interact with others and has become an essential tool for daily activities. Children and adolescents are the main users of new digital technologies and their first contact with a screen happens increasingly earlier in life. Its premature use can be dangerous: technology represents a “supernormal stimulus” that can act on the brain reward circuit and affect neural development. In this article we describe the effects of technology on the brain, well-being, social and family relationships, highlighting both positive and negative ones: rather than defining a priori any type of technology as “good” or “bad”, we should consider how specific applications are used in…

Prefazione

2014

In un contesto in continua evoluzione per effetto della globalizzazione e della rivoluzione tecnologica, la definizione del concetto di devianza e l’esplorazione dei suoi cambiamenti rendono necessaria una riflessione trasversale a diversi ambiti disciplinari, attraversando il confine tra sociologia della devianza e diritto. In a changing environment as a result of globalization and technological revolution, the definition of the concept of deviance and the exploration of its changes make necessary a cross-reflection in different disciplines, crossing the border between sociology of deviance and law.

Ritorno al futuro. Miti e realtà dei nativi digitali

2012

Due necessità e una tesi di fondo hanno ispirato la stesura di questo libro sul rapporto tra media digitali e minori. La prima necessità, più scientifica, richiede di tenere insieme, attraverso approcci di ricerca multidimensionali, la dimensione micro e macro così da mettere in luce la complessità dei fenomeni evitando di cadere in riduzionismi dicotomici quali apocalittici vs. integrati, nativi digitali vs. immigrati digitali, media come manipolazione vs. media come empowerment. La seconda necessità, più politica, richiede di individuare azioni educative affinché questa complessità venga colta dai minori così che le loro esperienze digitali diventino una forma di azione sociale dove la di…

Digitalization has shaped the newspaper market and nowadays the news consumption of people increasingly takes place in the online environment. At the same time when print newspapers can no longer be considered as the revenue drivers for media companies, especially digital natives remain reluctant to pay for news content in the digital media.

Suomalaiset nuoret verkkolehtien kuluttajina

2017

Digitalisaatio on muuttanut rajusti perinteistä lehdistöä sekä sisällöntuottami-sen ja jakelukanavien muuttumisen että uusien alan kilpailijoiden myötä. Samaan aikaan digitalisaation mahdollistamat muut ajanviettotavat ovat vähentäneet lukemista vapaa-ajalla, ja postmoderni, saturoitunut kulutusyhteiskunta on muuttanut kuluttajien arvomaailmaa ja kulutuskäyttäytymistä. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää nuorten kuluttajien asenteita verkkolehdistön tuotteisiin. Digitaaliajalla moniarvoiseen kulutusyhteiskuntaan syntyneet diginatiivit ovat tulevaisuuden kuluttajia. Heidän asenteidensa ja ostoaikeidensa tunteminen on tärkeää kehitettäessä digitaalisia tuotteita ja palveluita. Tutkie…

Digital natives: Lucky or jellied?

The technology now seems to have involved not only the world of adults, but also and especially that of children, becoming a form of communication and rapid interaction and widespread dissemination.
