Tears evoke the intention to offer social support: A systematic investigation of the interpersonal effects of emotional crying across 41 countries
2021
Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in limited generalizability. This project examined the tears-social support intentions effect and possible mediating and moderating variables in a fully pre-registered study across 7007 participants (24,886 ratings) and 41 countries spanning all populated continents. Participants were prese…
Defining user experience goals to guide the design of industrial systems
2015
The key prerequisite for experience-driven design is to define what experience to design for. User experience (UX) goals concretise the intended experience. Based on our own case studies from industrial environments and a literature study, we propose five different approaches to acquiring insight and inspiration for UX goal setting: Brand, Theory, Empathy, Technology, and Vision. Each approach brings in a different viewpoint, thus supporting the multidisciplinary character of UX. The Brand approach ensures that the UX goals are in line with the company's brand promise. The Theory approach utilises the available scientific knowledge of human behaviour. The Empathy approach focuses on knowing…
Spontaneous Order: Origins, Actual Spontaneity, Diversity
2015
In this paper, we aim to revive the research project on the spontaneous order by examining it critically. We aim to show that normative formulations of the spontaneous order suffer from one main flaw: they focus on the origin of orders rather than on how orders actually perform. In particular, we argue that such normative formulations tend to qualify orders as spontaneous according to two main requirements: unintendedness and negative liberty.

IL DIALOGO EDUCATIVO CENTRATO SULL'EMPATIA
2013
Il tentativo è quello di istituire l'empatia come categoria pedagogica ed educativa, giustificando la nozione di intenzionalità vicariante, che definisce sia la struttura dell'empatia sia il dinamismo proprio del processo educativo. Facendo ricorso al linguaggio della filosofia e della pedagogia classica, nel saggio se ne parla come di una virtù, insieme etica e dianoetica. Il nucleo centrale di tutto diviene la fenomenologia dell'empatia, l'analisi delle intenzionalità costitutive di tale singolare virtù personale: la disposizione veritativa, l'attitudine etica e l'istanza spirituale.
Il ruolo dell’empatia nell’alfabetizzazione affettiva [Le rôle de l’empathie dans l’alphabétisation affective],
2014
Il ruolo dell’empatia nell’alfabetizzazione affettiva Solo di recente è sorta una riflessione sull’empatia come categoria pedagogica ed educativa. È al fondo una esperienza di condivisione dei vissuti delle persone incontrate; non è dote spontanea, ma è una virtù che esige di essere formata nelle sue dimensioni costitutive - in questo saggio definite veritativa, etica e dialogale. Così intesa, essa rivela la sua essenzialità per pervenire alla conoscenza di sé; e in particolare la sua insostituibilità per apprendere a cogliere e a significare il proprio modo di sentire. Il lavoro di alfabetizzazione emotiva regolata dal codice empatico è opera innanzitutto di un’intelligenza verbale, per de…
A systematic narrative review of prosociality in educational leadership
2018
Organizational scholars have vigorously and long studied being prosocial in defining ‘prosociality’ as motivation, behavior, and impact to help or benefit others. This study attempts to provide an overview of previous studies that have approached the elements of being prosocial in educational leadership contexts. However, most of the prosocial elements in education are not explicitly defined as prosociality and have not yet been systematically studied. Thus, this study explored the research questions: (a) What elements could be involved in prosociality within educational leadership? (b) Who could be involved in the process of prosociality in educational leadership? The final corpus of this …
Historicism: Some Thoughts on Life-World
1993
More than three decades ago, Walter Biemel read a paper at the Third Colloquium of Philosophy at Royaumont on “The Decisive Phases in the Development of Husserl’s Philosophy” that seemed to be definitive.1 Notwithstanding the great value of the facts and reflections that he provided, and the numerous studies devoted afterwards to the same problem, it is not easy to fix different stages in Husserl’s work. This difficulty is increased by the lack of a strict synchrony between the works that Husserl himself published and those that remained unpublished after his death and have been laboriously recovered by his disciples. Actually, in manuscripts belonging to early moments in his life we find t…
Emozioni e relazione educativa nella scuola secondaria. Saggi sulle competenze degli insegnanti
2021
Teacher education has long been at the heart of pedagogical research. However, especially if we consider the recent Italian pedagogical research, we observe that most of the attention has been devoted to disciplinary and didactic skills, which are a necessary but not sufficient condition for the acquisition of an adequate professional profile. Especially for secondary school this gap is evident: while the training paths of educators, primary school and kindergarten teachers include a specific and broad pedagogical attention to the care of relationships and therefore to emotional competence, this is not the case in the current training paths of secondary school teachers nor in specialization…
The meaning of slow nursing in dementia care.
2015
Research literature in the dementia field lacks examples of ‘best-practices’ demonstrating concretely how it is possible to support the sense of coherence in people with dementia. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the nurses’ views concerning a caring approach that may support the sense of coherence in people with dementia. The data were collected through participant observation and focus group interviews during a four-month period in 2011. Sixteen registered nurses recruited from two Norwegian nursing homes participated in this study. The data were interpreted using a phenomenological-hermeneutical method. Three themes were identified: ‘being in the moment’, ‘doing one thing at a…
