Contemporary Children’s Film, CGI, and the Child Viewer’s Attention

2019

The aim of this chapter is to methodologically characterize a group of contemporary children’s films that have rarely been addressed as a separate category, namely live-action/animation hybrids. Using four recent films, the chapter illustrates a range of possible relationships between the analogue (live-filmed) and computer-generated content and the likely impact on the child viewer of various configurations of such hybrids. In particular, the chapter addresses the role of the live child actor and the function of animated creatures. Because many live-action/animation hybrids are directed toward the younger child audience represented by a G rating, this chapter also addresses the child viewe…

2020

Objective: to evaluate the relation and the moderating effect of the organizational factors on the attitudes towards communication, empathy, and emotional intelligence in the nurses.

The attitudes towards communication were evaluated by means of the specifically designed instrument, those towards empathy with the Jefferson’s Scale of Empathy for Nursing Students, and those towards emotional intelligence by means of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, consisting of 24 items. The effect of the studied variables was assessed by means of ANOVA, multiple linear regression models were applied, and t…

The Structure and Correlates of a Measure of Prosocial Moral Reasoning in Adolescents from Spain

2013

Examined the structure and correlates of a measure of prosocial moral reasoning in a sample of young and middle-aged adolescents. 1556 students (53% male, M age = 13.12, SD = .87) from Valencia, Spain completed paper-and-pencil measures of prosocial moral reasoning (PROM), empathy, prosocial behaviors, and aggression. As expected, a series of confirmatory factor and structural equation modeling analyses revealed a four-factor solution of the PROM to have the best fit (as compared to alternative models) among Spanish youth (across gender and grade). Moreover, higher level and other-oriented forms of prosocial moral reasoning were generally positively related to empathy and prosocial behavior…

The Effects of Perceptions of Parents' Use of Social and Materials Rewards on Prosocial Behaviors in Spanish and U.S.Youth

2016

We examined the links between perceived parental use of social and material rewards and prosocial behaviors across youth from two countries. Six hundred forty adolescents (297 girls; [Formula: see text] age = 15.32 years) from Valencia, Spain, and 552 adolescents (321 girls; [Formula: see text] age = 13.38 years) from the United States completed measures of their perceptions of parental use of rewards, prosocial behaviors, and empathy. Results generally showed that perceived use of social rewards was directly and indirectly positively related to prosocial behaviors via empathic tendencies. In contrast, perceived use of material rewards was directly and indirectly negatively related to pros…

Parental expectations and prosocial behavior of adolescents from low-income backgrounds. A cross-cultural comparison between three countries: Argenti…

2014

Parental expectations are influenced by cultural models, which in turn are subject to a great influence from historically fluctuating features of the socioeconomic background. Parental expectations seem to be linked to children’s social and emotional development in terms of empathy and prosocial behavior. The current study aims to (a) compare low-income adolescents’ perceptions of parental expectations of prosocial and antisocial behavior across three Latin countries (Argentina, Colombia, and Spain), (b) compare the empathy and prosocial behavior between the three countries, (c) compare the prosocial behavior between the three countries, and (d) study the effect of perceived parental expect…

When people in close relationships are not prepared to listen to emotional disclosures

2007

The following article comprises a presentation of  research carried out on a group of 268 adults. The survey aimed at finding answers to questions posed about the meditative role played by social constraints in the relationship between shyness and certain aspects of emotional and social functioning. The results indicate that social constraints are a destructive factor in the everyday functioning of those facing everyday problems. Many shy people experience social constraints - people in close relationships: family, relatives, and friends react inadequately and negatively, demonstrating a lack of empathy, thus discouraging people who are shy from expressing their personal thoughts and emotio…

Definitions and Contexts of Intercultural Dialogue in European Policy Documents

2020

In this chapter, we analyse how the concept of intercultural dialogue is both explicitly and implicitly used in European education policy documents. First, we explore how the concept is explicitly dealt with in the documents and how its meanings are produced in relation to other concepts and terms, such as culture, cultural heritage, identity, inclusion, empathy, tolerance, multiculturalism, citizenship, participation, and social responsibility. We pay special attention to the values and ideals conveyed by the education policy documents in general and these concepts in particular. Second, we discuss the thematic overlap of these concepts and how different concepts, terms, and conceptual exp…

La cura dell'anima. Profili di una pedagogia del sé

2010

La Prima parte del volume presenta una riflessione sul bisogno di riconoscimento, definito bisogno primario della persona. È ad esso che cercano di portare una qualche risposta tutte le imprese umane di cura che definiamo educative; costituisce pertanto il tema proprio e il problema adeguato di una pedagogia fondamentale. La Seconda parte disegna le linee di una fenomenologia dell'esperienza educativa. Il fenomeno originario è descritto come avvenimento della persona, generato però sempre da una relazione interpersonale di reciproco riconoscimento; l'intenzionalità costitutiva di questo evento è definita intenzionalità vicariante. Nella relazione educativa si tratta sempre di una definita p…

PASSENGER SATISFACTION WITH HYBRID ELECTRIC BUS SERVICE IN NORWAY : A PLS Structural Equation Modelling Approach

2019

Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 The use of hybrid electric buses (HEBs) in public transit is one of the global attention received topics in this 21st century because of its environment friendly nature. This study focusses on effect of bus service quality dimensions such as bus driver's quality, bus tangible and empathy to determine customer satisfaction level of bus service in Kristiansand region. Structural equation model is used for an empirical investigation to find out the association of perceived bus service quality dimensions with word of mouth mediated by perceived value and customer satisfaction.
