Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
I confini della restorative justice nella più recente normativa europea a tutela della vittima: ragionevole attuazione di una victim-centred justice …
2015
La c.d. restorative justice (RJ) si inserisce a pieno titolo e in modo significativo nel processo di “riscoperta della vittima” nel sistema penale. Eppure, nonostante l’indubbia vocazione vittimo-centrica della RJ, in alcuni recenti interventi normativi europei sembra delinearsi un atteggiamento di cautela, se non di sfiducia, verso l’applicazione “su larga scala” della RJ, specie qualora il reato riguardi soggetti vulnerabili. Si tratta di apportare ragionevoli correttivi ai modelli di RJ, affinché questi possano armoniosamente congiungersi al sistema di giustizia penale e realizzare un’equilibrata victim-centred justice? O forse le cautele introdotte comportano, alla stregua di Sisifo, un…
On the dynamics of disobedience: experimental investigations of defying unjust authority.
2017
Across six Experimental conditions with university student participants (N=600), we examined some of the dynamics underlying expressed defiance to unjust authority. Results revealed disobedience was best enacted by participants low in right-wing authoritarianism and was more likely to occur when: 1) in physical proximity of other rebels, 2) the authority made two demanding requests instead of one, and 3) there had been an earlier opposition to injustice. Results are discussed within the theoretical framework of bounded rationality.
Ethical Dilemmas in Urban Studies
2023
This chapter discusses research into urban studies, and specifically how we might best frame the ethical issues which arise in, and through, such research. One of its central contentions is that ethical sensitivity is developed by researchers as part of a social practice, i.e. through communal activity of a particular kind. Therefore, important as it is to ensure that researchers are aware of their personal ethical responsibilities, understanding what the moral point of view requires—i.e. being sensitive to ethical issues, especially in new circumstances—is something which researchers acquire through involvement in appropriately conducted social practices. The chapter’s suggestion is that t…

The meaningfulness of two curriculum-based national tests of English as a foreign language
2022
This paper addresses the aspect of the meaningfulness of a national assessment in English as a foreign language, applying the fairness framework proposed by Kunnan (2018). We compared students’ performance on two receptive language skills of listening and reading on two subsequent national evaluations in Finland, taken by students at the end of compulsory basic education and at the end of general upper secondary education, respectively. The research questions focus on (1) the relationship between students’ performance on the two tests and their gender, language of schooling and parents’ educational level, and (2) the relationship between the students’ receptive language proficiency at the e…

Le forbici e l’ago. Geometrie del reato ed eccedenze tra vissuti di ingiustizia, limiti del sistema penale e volti della Restorative Justice
2016
Il contributo ricostruisce le direttrici culturali che hanno progressivamente condotto alla consapevolezza dell’orizzonte “altro” della Restorative Justice in area penale. Muovendo dalla messa a fuoco delle meccaniche del processo giudiziario nella sua veste di selettore, idoneo, attraverso i propri filtri, a dar luogo a giudizi di rilevanza circa i dati dell’esperienza del reato meritevoli di far ingresso nel metabolismo della cognizione e della decisione penale, il contributo indaga sulle “eccedenze”, che i perimetri degli apparati della giustizia “tradizionale” collocano oltre le proprie cinte di confine e che pur incidono su dimensioni vitali dell’esperienza dell’offesa penalmente rilev…
The marketplace vulnerability of low-income unbanked consumers : a developing country perspective
2018
Financial exclusion is recognised as an important element of socio-economic inequality where economically vulnerable groups are excluded from basic financial services. The issue of financial exclusion is mainly concentrated in the world’s developing countries. However, research on the issue of financial exclusion in the field of marketing as well as from the perspective of unbanked consumers is lacking. Although financial exclusion impedes low-income consumers’ welfare, there is a shortage of wellbeing related studies on low-income consumers in the context of developing countries. This doctoral dissertation aims to investigate the ways in which low-income unbanked consumers experience vulne…
