Beliefs and Experiences of Individuals Following a Zero-Carb Diet
2021
The adoption of carbohydrate-restrictive diets to improve health is increasing in popularity, but there is a dearth of research on individuals who choose to severely restrict or entirely exclude carbohydrates. The present study investigated the beliefs and experiences of individuals following a diet that severely limits, or entirely excludes, dietary carbohydrates, colloquially known as a ‘zero-carb’ diet, for at least 6 months. Zero-carb dieters (n = 170) recruited via a social networking site completed an online qualitative survey prompting them to discuss their motives, rationale, and experiences of following a low-carb diet. Transcripts of participants’ responses were …

Potencialidades de Google Maps en la investigación social aplicada
2019
In recent years, Google has devoted resources to build a complete map of the world. They constantly scan the territory, collecting a large amount of data that provides updated and complete geographic information. This allows us to have an interoperable map that provides the end user with a search tool, not only of routes but also of shops, equipment and any type of geo-referenced information. In addition, Google Maps provides a series of Application Programming Interface (API), which provides a library of set of subroutines, functions and procedures (in object-oriented programming) that can be used by other software to automate the extraction of information of the Google platform. These fre…
La relazione clinica mediata dallo schermo nella psicoterapia di gruppo online
2021
La psicoterapia di gruppo online è una esperienza molto recente in Italia, dove non era mai stata praticata prima delle restrizioni imposte dalla emergenza sanitaria. In quella occasione i terapeuti di gruppo hanno effettuato il passaggio dal setting in presenza a quello online apprendendo dalla esperienza diretta come gestire la relazione clinica mediata dallo schermo, in particolare rispetto alla amministrazione del setting, alle dinamiche del gruppo e allo stile di conduzione. Questi e altri fenomeni sono stati indagati attraverso un questionario compilato da 26 terapeuti di gruppo dopo tre mesi di pratica, che ha permesso di evidenziare impressioni, vissuti, difficolt&agr…
Individual differences in adaptive choice strategies
2003
Abstract Individual differences in compensatory and non-compensatory choice processes remain an unresolved issue for decision process researchers. This study investigates the stability and nature of individual differences in choice processes when individuals adapt to changes in the structure of the choice environment, namely the correlation among the choice attributes. By means of process tracing techniques, between-subjects differences in choice processing (option-based or attribute based) were found to be stable across different tasks. Individuals with higher openness to experience and ability to solve reasoning tasks were found to be more adaptive, that is to switch more promptly their c…
Social Viewing in Cinematic Virtual Reality: Challenges and Opportunities
2018
Cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR) has been increasing in popularity in the last years. However, viewers can feel isolated when watching 360° movies with a Head-Mounted Display. Since watching movies is a social experience for most people, we investigate if the use of Head Mounted Displays is appropriate for enabling shared CVR experiences. In this context, even if viewers are watching the movie simultaneously, they do not automatically see the same field of view, since they can freely choose the viewing direction. Based on the literature and experiences from past user studies, we identify seven challenges. To address these challenges, we present and discuss design ideas for a CVR social movie…

Methods: GPs (N = 26) practising in Australian clinics participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis. Results: Results showe…
From Multiple Perspectives to Shared Understanding: A small group in an online learning environment
2008
The aim of this study was to explore how learners operating in a small group reach shared understanding as they work out joint research questions and build a theoretical framework and to identify the resources and tools they used in the process. The learners' own interpretations of their group activities and learning were also taken into account. The data, consisting of group discussions and the documents produced by the group, were subjected to a qualitative content analysis. The group members employed a variety of resources and tools to exchange their individual perspectives and achieve shared understanding. Summaries of relevant literature laid a foundation for the group's theoretical di…
