Testing the Trust Game with undergraduates: An experiment with wealth heterogeneity
2017
Ponència presentada a 3rd International Conference on Higher Education Advances, HEAd’17, Universitat Politècnica de València, València, 2017 Trust, reciprocity and a fair distribution of resources are cruzial in the sustainability of any economic system. As a matter of fact, those are values that should be promoted among the new generations, especially among university students enrolled in degrees that are related to economics. Under this context, we are interested in enhancing criticism and active reflection among undergraduates with respect to social values. With such a goal in mind, we designed a two step classroom task that includes playing the Trust Game (TG) in the first place and, s…
Food community networks as leverage for social embeddedness
2013
Social embeddedness, defined as the interaction of economic activities and social behavior, is used in this study as a conceptual tool to describe the growing phenomenon of food community networks (FCNs). The aim in this paper was to map the system of relations which the FCNs develop both inside and outside the network and, from the number of relations, it was inferred the influence of each FCN upon the formation of new socially embedded economic realities. A particular form of FCN was taken under consideration: solidarity purchase groups (SPGs). Performed with the aid of social network analysis on a sample of SPGs in Sicily (a region in southern Italy), the study allowed us to identify a r…
Authenticity and well-being on social network sites: A two-wave longitudinal study on the effects of online authenticity and the positivity bias in S…
2014
In offline settings, authentic behavior has frequently been linked to increased well-being. Social network sites (SNSs) provide a new venue for authenticity, yet the effects of online authenticity are largely unknown. The present study investigated the reciprocal effects of authenticity on SNSs and the psychological well-being of SNS users in a two-wave longitudinal study (N=374). The results demonstrate that online authenticity had a positive longitudinal effect on three indicators of subjective well-being. The data further illustrate that this beneficial effect of SNS use is not equally accessible to all users: participants with low levels of well-being were less likely to feel authentic …
LA CRESCITA EDUCATIVA DELLE NUOVE GENERAZIONI NELL'INCONTRO TRA LE CULTURE
2011
Viene presa in esame l'unica ricerca empirica, condotta sul territorio nazionale, sugli immigrati di seconda generazione. I risultati non sono esaltanti: l'integrazione è problematica, i conflitti si moltiplicano e non sembra facile gestirli. Nel saggio si tenta di dar senso ad una forma di comunicazione interculturale che consenta di accogliere l'altro in modo incondizionato e di comprenderne le idee; si fonda su questo il dialogo autentico e una prospettiva adeguata di educazione interculturale
Influència de Kohlberg en el programa de compromís social del centre penitenciari d' "El Dueso"
2018
espanolTras anos de innovacion i puesta en practica de diferentes formas de intervencion en el mundo penitenciario, en el Centro Penitenciario de El Dueso se aplica el programa de Compromiso Social. La Teoria del Desarrollo Moral de Kohlberg esta sirviendo de apoyo para potenciar la prosocialidad asi como el desarrollo moral de los internos a traves de aquellas actividades en las que se convierten en protagonistas de la ayuda a terceras personas, promoviendo su propio cambio personal i generando un proceso de reciprocidad con el exterior de la prision. Se defienden las actividades de tipo prosocial como excelente herramienta de trabajo en las prisiones. catalaDespres d’anys d’innovacio i de…
A new lattice action for studying topological charge
1996
We propose a new lattice action for non-abelian gauge theories, which will reduce short-range lattice artifacts in the computation of the topological susceptibility. The standard Wilson action is replaced by the Wilson action of a gauge covariant interpolation of the original fields to a finer lattice. If the latter is fine enough, the action of all configurations with non-zero topological charge will satisfy the continuum bound. As a simpler example we consider the $O(3)$ $\sigma$-model in two dimensions, where a numerical analysis of discretized continuum instantons indicates that a finer lattice with half the lattice spacing of the original is enough to satisfy the continuum bound.
Institutional Entrepreneurship, Trust, and Regulatory Capture in the Digital Economy
2019
In regard to the problem of the new markets' opening and their regulation, some scholars have introduced the concept of “institutional entrepreneur” in economic literature. This new definition of entrepreneur is important to highlight, albeit in informal and descriptive terms, the existence of functional relationships between activities typical of private market competition and those more specifically, of the public sector. Even if this new economic character can provide an interesting key to understanding what can really happen in the narrow zone that separates the public and private markets, it does not consider some conceptual components that are not minor for the purposes of complete ch…
Instrucción en estrategias de comprensión lectora mediante enseñanza recíproca: efectos del agrupamiento de los estudiantes
2013
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two grouping formats on the reading comprehension. Reading comprehension Instruction used reciprocal teaching (RT) that is an instructional procedure to teach students cognitive strategies that might lead to improved reading comprehension. A sample of 43 students in the fourth year of primary education was selected: 18 children were instructed in regular classroom (GG), 8 were instructed in small group (PG), while the remaining 17 made up the comparison group (GC). Two types of comprehension measures were used: tasks of specific effects (getting the main idea, comprehension-monitoring test) and transfer effect measures (standardized test, …
Spatially chaotic configurations and functional equations with rescaling
1996
The functional equation is associated with the appearance of spatially chaotic structures in amorphous (glassy) materials. Continuous compactly supported solutions of the above equation are of special interest. We shall show that there are no such solutions for , whereas such a solution exists for almost all . The words `for almost all q' in the previous sentence cannot be omitted. There are exceptional values of q in the interval for which there are no integrable solutions. For example, , which is the reciprocal of the `golden ratio' is such an exceptional value. More generally, if is any Pisot - Vijayaraghavan number, or any Salem number, then is an exceptional value.
A Saturation Avoidance Technique for Peer-to-Peer Distributed Virtual Environments
2007
This paper presents a multi-agent framework oriented to animate groups of synthetic humans that properly balance task-oriented and social behaviors. We mainly focus on the social model designed for BDI-agents to display socially acceptable decisions. This model is based on an auction mechanism used to coordinate the group activities derived from the character's roles. The model also introduces reciprocity relations between the members of a group and allows the agents to include social tasks to produce realistic behavioral animations. Furthermore, a conversational library provides the set of plans to manage social interactions and to animate from simple chats to more complex negotiations. Th…
