The winner knew it all? Conspiracy beliefs and hindsight perspective after the 2016 US general election
2018
Abstract The political campaigns preceding the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election received worldwide media attention that many people followed with great interest. Before the election, there were rumors of how the outcome of this election might be rigged, there was additional suspicion that individuals who were not eligible to vote were seen at voting booths, and other assumptions that might be connected to a conspiracy mentality. In this contribution, we report the results of one case study (N = 173) regarding inter-individual differences in conspiracy mentality, uncertainty, and hindsight perceptions of inevitability and foreseeability between voters of the major parties' candidates, namely,…
The Selection and Deselection of Technocratic Ministers in Democratic Spain
2017
This chapter analyses the presence of non-political ministers in the Spanish cabinet in the democratic period since 1977, where one out of five ministers did not belong to the ruling party at the time of her appointment and one out of three can be considered as a non-political minister. By observing the selection and deselection of these individuals, it shows the cabinet dynamic behind the ministerial appointments and the differences between the more political type of ministers and those coming from outside political pathways. Despite some outstanding exceptions, non-political ministers are often recruited from outside the parliament and have fewer chances to develop a relevant ministerial …
Proces selekcji kandydatów partii politycznych w wyborach Prezydenta RP – motywacje, dylematy, strategie
2022
Wybory prezydenckie pomimo dużego stopnia spersonalizowania, stanowią ważną przestrzeń rywalizacji międzypartyjnej. Doświadczenia polskich elekcji prezydenckich pokazują, że są one zdominowane przez kandydatów partyjnych. Podstawowym celem niniejszego artykułu, jest ukazanie procesu selekcji kandydatów partii politycznych na urząd Prezydenta RP, jako jednego z kontekstów wyborów prezydenckich w Polsce. Istotnym punktem rozważań jest odniesienie wskazanego procesu do aktywności przywódców partyjnych w tym zakresie, a dokładnie zauważalnej tendencji do rezygnacji z kandydowania. Trend ten wiąże się z wykorzystywaniem przez partie polityczne tzw. surogatów, czyli kandydatów zastępczych. Porusz…

Our results reveal the need to compare these representations and work to narrow the gap between the caregivers and the users, in order to improve the relationship between the different protagonists of the interaction and, consequently, the possibilities of g…
La presa in carico residenziale: percorsi di ricerca nelle comunità per minori.
2012
Le comunità residenziali possono essere concepite come “campi esperienziali”, luoghi di esperienza condivisa all’interno dei quali, nel qui e ora della quotidianità e nell’intreccio di storie, esperienze, culture, visioni del mondo, orientamenti e bisogni diversi, gli “abitanti” della comunità, minori e operatori, intrecciano reti relazionali complesse. L’esplorazione di tali campi esperienziali e del loro funzionamento, la definizione di setting di lavoro clinico e formativo nei quali avviare percorsi trasformativi, è l’interesse che ha mosso il progetto di ricerca e intervento che qui presentiamo. Nella prospettiva della valutazione del lavoro clinico e della qualità dei servizi offerti a…
Religion, Religiosity, Sex, and Willingness to Express Political Opinions: A Spiral of Silence Analysis of the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
2014
This study analyzes the extent to which an individual's sex, religion, and religiosity influence their willingness to voice an opinion about Barack Obama's ethnicity in the 2008 election. Results from 569 college students surveyed reveal sex to be a nonsignificant predictor, whereas religion and religiosity significantly influence willingness to voice an opinion about Obama's ethnicity. More religious individuals were more likely to voice an opinion about Obama's ethnicity as a voting issue in the campaign. There were significant differences among religious groups and their willingness to voice an opinion on this issue.

Towards a ‘Virtual’ Rationality?
1999
Psychology has, for a long time, shown the boundaries of human rationality. The rationalistic model of human behaviour assumed by neoclassical economics has broken down; the idea that companies are guided by managers who are able to weigh all the options and make the most rational or optimum decisions in accordance with maximizing principles, such as ‘profits’, cannot be held any more.
