A multimodal analysis of facework strategies in a corpus of charity ads on British television

2013

Abstract The aim of this article is to carry out a qualitative multimodal analysis of the codification of verbal and non-verbal politeness strategies in a sub-corpus of five charity commercials aired on British television. Brown and Levinson's (1987) verbal politeness strategies are taken as a starting point together with a detailed analysis of facework that is realized through paralinguistic and extralinguistic modes of communication ( Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006 , Machin, 2010 ). In what we have identified as the problem phase of the commercial, our analysis has revealed that advertisers deliberately attempt to create threats to the viewer's positive and negative face by making him/her fe…

Blaming the Victim: The Effects of Extraversion and Information Disclosure on Guilt Attributions in Cyberbullying

2013

Cyberbullying victims' success in coping with bullying largely depends on schoolmates and other bystanders' social support. However, factors influencing the degree of social support have as yet not been investigated. In this article, the concept of victim blaming is applied to cyberbullying incidents. It is assumed that a cyberbullying victim receives less social support when the victim's behavior is perceived as very overt. It is further assumed that this effect's underlying process is the partial attribution of responsibility for the incident to the victim and not to the bully. The hypotheses are tested with a 2×2 online experiment. In this experiment, varying online self-presentations of…

Hyperuricemia and high blood pressure at rest and during exercise: Guilty or innocent? The jury is still out

2018

The authors investigated the hypothesis that high serum uric acid concentrations may be related to an exaggerated systolic blood pressure (SBP) response to maximal exercise testing in men with normotension, independent of potential confounding variables. In 4640 healthy men with normotension who underwent maximal treadmill exercise testing and fasting blood chemistry studies, including serum uric acid concentrations, an exaggerated SBP response, defined as SBP ≥ 210 mm Hg, was detected in 152 men (3.3%). After adjusting for potential confounders, participants in the highest quartile of serum uric acid (>6.6 mg/dL) had a higher odds ratio of demonstrating an exaggerated SBP to maximal exerci…

After a brief presentation describing the main traits of the literary Romanian exile, this article aims to reveal some aspects of Matei Vişniec’s poetical originality, a Romanian francophone writer who defines himself as a «lucky exiled man». The poem we’ve chosen, «At the table with Marx» («La masă cu Marx»), involves the main line of the book with the same title that was published in Romania in 2011. His explicitly political regard relates him to another text that circulated as an anti-communist manifesto during the previous years of the communist dictature fall: the well-known poem entitled «The sailing ship» («Corabia»). A parable of complicity and colective guiltiness, «At the table wi…

The balancing act: How do moral norms and anticipated pride drive food waste/reduction behaviour?

2022

Food waste is a serious problem that impacts the environment and sustainability by increasing greenhouse gas emissions from landfills. Food waste also represents a social challenge because it raises serious concerns about food security. While acknowledging that households waste a great deal of food because they lack a proper routine for reusing leftovers and purchase more food than required, few studies have extensively examined the drivers of leftover reuse and over-ordering. We address this gap using the stimulus-organism-response paradigm. Moral norms and anticipated pride are conceptualised as stimuli that impact the organismic state of intentions against food waste and response in the …

DANNO, RISARCIMENTO E RICONOSCIMENTO DELL’“ALTRO” NELLA GESTIONE DEI CONFLITTI IN OMERO

2019

Atto ingiusto, reato? Nel mondo omerico abbiamo a che fare: 1. con atasthalìai (in Omero solo al plurale), cioè con “eccessi-volontari-e-consapevoli fondati-sulla-fiducia nella-propria-forza/capacità/potere”, di cui si è responsabili (mentre non si è responsabili o si è innocenti se si obbedisce a cause materiali/umane di forza maggiore), o 2. con àte, l’offuscamento mentale che rovina se stessi e a volte gli altri e che si è avuto per propria imprudenza, mancanza di calcolo o perché gli dei puniscono di una precedente offesa fatta loro. In quest’ultimo caso, si può rimediare oppure bisogna aspettare i tempi della divinità. Nel caso di offese ad altri uomini, bisogna risarcire materialmente…

"I ciechi" di Cesare Pavese tra echi psicanalitici e sincretismo letterario

2014

The article provides a close reading of the short dialogue "I ciechi" included in "Dialogues with Leucò" (1947) by Cesare Pavese. The aim is to demonstrate that I ciechi" is essential to correctly understand Pavese's unfaithful and original approach to three fields: ethnology, psychoanalysis and literature.

The role of guilt in the willingness to pay : application to purchase for the child and to purchase organic food products

2011

Guilt in marketing is a concept which is mostly analysed by anglo-saxon researchers. French research on this topic is limited. This concept has always been analysed as a persuasion tool or after a purchase. The guilt that could explain a consumer’s purchase doesn’t seem to have been analysed much. The purpose of this thesis deals with the following topic : the role of guilt in the consumer behaviour. We have particulary wondered whether guilt stimulation could increase the willingness to pay.

The whip and the Bible : punishment versus internalization

2021

First published online: 27 August 2021 A variety of experimental and empirical research indicate that prosocial behavior is important for economic success. There are two sources of prosocial behavior: incentives and preferences. The latter, the willingness of individuals to “do their bit” for the group, we refer to as internalization, because we view it as something that a group can influence by appropriate investment. This implies that there is a trade-off between using incentives and internalization to encourage prosocial behavior. By examining this trade-off we shed light on the connection between social norms observed inside the laboratory and those observed outside in the field. For ex…
