Estetica e vita quotidiana. Prospettive di ricercar-azione negli studi umanistici
2020
Gli studi umanistici sono in crisi ormai da diversi anni poiché in una società incentrata sul profitto questo ramo di studi appare perdente. Tuttavia, la causa non risiede nell’inutilità degli studi umanistici, ma nello iato esistente tra la cultura umanistica e quella scientifica e tecnologica, che è alla base dell’economia. Se si comprende che la prima può servire da volano alla seconda, le scienze umane possono tornare a essere il fulcro di una progettualità finalizzata al benessere collettivo e diventare un social spin-off incentrato sui valori dell’humanitas. In questa direzione l’estetica, intesa come una filosofia del sentire e dell’esperienza quotidiana, può offrire nuovi orizzonti …
Autobiographical Memory, Personality, and Facebook Mementos
2019
The present study analyzed the relationships between directive, self and social functions of autobiographical memory, personality traits, as defined by the Five Factor model, and the Facebook mementos. We defined Facebook mementos as objective measures of the textual (i.e., Facebook Status Updating) and visual (i.e., Photos uploading) information people record on their Facebook profiles. Questionnaires gathered data from a sample of 193 Italian Facebook users (148 female; 45 male; age M = 22.8, SD = 6.8). Results at path analysis using AMOS showed direct significant positive associations between personality traits related to extraversion, openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness and Faceboo…
Personality and Optimal Experience in Adolescence: Implications for Well-Being and Development
2013
Past research has repeatedly identified relations between optimal experience—or flow—and well-being across the lifespan. In the attempt to identify the conditions favoring this experience, some studies took into account personality traits. While most of them operationalized flow in terms of intensity, we presently focused on perceived occurrence versus absence of flow. Specifically, we investigated the relations between flow occurrence, hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, activities associated with flow, and personality in adolescence. A group of 408 Italian teenagers (mean age = 17.31; SD = 1.13) were administered Flow Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affec…
LA VERSIONE ITALIANA DELLA CECA (CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE OF CARE AND ABUSE): L’INTERVISTA PER LA RILEVAZIONE EMPIRICA DELLE ESPERIENZE DI CURA ED ABUSO …
2011
La Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse–CECA (Bifulco et al. 1994), recentemente adattata per la popolazione italiana (Giannone, Schimmenti et al. 2011) è considerata il criterio gold standard per la rilevazione delle esperienze di cura ed abuso vissute in età infantile e adolescenziale. Si tratta di un’intervista retrospettiva semistrutturata, utilizzabile con soggetti giovani e adulti, che esplora le esperienze vissute fino ai 16 anni di età con i genitori ed altre figure significative. È ampiamente riconosciuto in letteratura come contesti relazionali ed esperienze infantili abbiano un ruolo determinante nella strutturazione del Sé (Bifulco e Moran 1998; Fonagy et al. 2002; Giannone et…
La versione italiana dell’intervista CECA (Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse): caratteristiche psicometriche su campioni non clinici e clinici.
2011
La CECA (Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse: Bifulco et al. 1994) è un’intervista retrospettiva semistrutturata, utilizzabile con soggetti giovani e adulti, che esplora le esperienze vissute con i genitori e con altre figure significative nell’infanzia e nell’adolescenza. L’intervista CECA permette di ottenere misurazioni affidabili e utili, in termini clinici e di ricerca, sui contesti di sviluppo, le cure affettive e materiali ricevute e le eventuali esperienze di maltrattamento e abuso. L’uso dell’intervista CECA risponde all’esigenza di valutare aspetti oggettivi piuttosto che percezioni soggettive dell’esperienza precoce, avendo a disposizione un formato ampio di eventi su cui è po…
The promotion of a tourist destination through the definition of the "concept" in a sensorial perspective
2016
According to Anholt, the brand of a tourist destination expresses and sustains its identity; it should depict the main characteristics of the territory and its contents and for this reason it should represent the synthesis, the result rather than the starting point of its promotion. At the operational level there is a widespread tendency of the policy makers to develop the brand strategy of a destination by launching advertising campaigns that enlighten the territorial attractors, aiming to stress the tourist appeal of some geographical areas. In this case the main strategic efforts are usually oriented to develop and support a “comparative" advantage rather than a “competitive” one. An inn…
Presentazione al volume Nilde Iotti : declinazioni di un’esperienza politica e istituzionale
2021
The pages of the volume Nilde Iotti. Declinations of a political and institutional experience, edited by Claudia Giurintano and with the preface by Francesca Russo, President of the Scientific Committee of the Iotti Foundation - testify to the enthusiasm with which some professors of the Department of Political Sciences and International Relations of the University of Palermo (A. Blando, M. Buscemi, D. Ferrara, C. Giurintano, MC Parlato, M. Patti, A. Pera and G. Tumminelli) wanted to join the proposal of the Nilde Iotti Foundation to offer their scientific contribution in the centenary of the birth of a great Mother of our Republic. These are essays that exemplify the specificity of a Depar…
User Psychology in Interaction Design: The Role of Design Ontologies
2008
In the various forms of interaction design, it is essential to analyze, understand, and predict human behavior. This is equally true with devices such as information systems that are meant to interact with people. The importance of these problems has inspired scientists to develop numerous approaches to investigate and explicate human actions. However, they have mainly been characterized by intuitive and folk psychological approaches to the human mentality in interaction. To improve the scientific foundations of design, we present here a psychology-based approach to collecting user knowledge, as well as a related design practice. The former can be called user psychology and the latter the a…
Learning Automata Based Q-learning for Content Placement in Cooperative Caching
2019
An optimization problem of content placement in cooperative caching is formulated, with the aim of maximizing sum mean opinion score (MOS) of mobile users. Firstly, a supervised feed-forward back-propagation connectionist model based neural network (SFBC-NN) is invoked for user mobility and content popularity prediction. More particularly, practical data collected from GPS-tracker app on smartphones is tackled to test the accuracy of mobility prediction. Then, a learning automata-based Q-learning (LAQL) algorithm for cooperative caching is proposed, in which learning automata (LA) is invoked for Q-learning to obtain an optimal action selection in a random and stationary environment. It is p…
