The perception of infant emotions is an integral part of sensitive caregiving within the mother-child relationship, a maternal ability which develops in mothers during their own attachment history. In this study we address the association between maternal attachment representation and brain activity underlying the perception of infant emotions. Event related potentials (ERPs) of 32 primiparous mothers were assessed during a three stimulus oddball task presenting negative, positive and neutral emotion expressions of infants as target, deviant or standard stimuli. Attachment representation was assessed with the Adult Attachment Interview during pregnancy. Securely attached mothers recognized …

Who is willing to pay for science? On the relationship between public perception of science and the attitude to public funding of science.

2012

This article examines the relationship between the general public's understanding of science and the attitude towards public funding of scientific research. It applies a multivariate and discriminant analysis (Wilks' Lambda), in addition to a more commonly used bivariate analysis (Cramer's V), to data compiled from the Third National Survey on the Social Perception of Science and Technology in Spain (FECYT, 2006). The general conclusion is that the multivariate analysis produces information complementary to the bivariate analysis, and that the variables commonly applied in public perception studies have limited predictive value with respect to the attitude towards public funding of scientif…

Public responses to intimate partner violence against women: the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility.

2009

This paper explored public willingness to act when exposed to cases of intimate partner violence against women, by analyzing the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility on two types of responses: mediating and reporting to the police. Results (N = 419) yielded main effects of personal responsibility for both types of responses. No main effects of perceived severity were found. A significant interaction between perceived severity and personal responsibility was found only for reporting responses. Results are discussed in light of the helping behavior research tradition. Implications for public education and advocacy programs are also considered. Marisol.lila@uv.es; Enriqu…

VALIDACIÓN DE UNA ESCALA PARA EL ANÁLISIS DE LAS PERCEPCIONES DE LOS RESIDENTES SOBRE EL IMPACTO SOCIAL DE UN CENTRO DEPORTIVO

2019

Resumen La finalidad de este estudio es validar una escala para el análisis de las percepciones de los residentes sobre el impacto social de un centro deportivo. Se recogió una muestra de 406 residentes del municipio de Moncada (Valencia), con un error de muestreo de ±4,82, que contestaron a una encuesta de 31 ítems que recogían posibles impactos sociales derivados de la presencia del centro deportivo en la localidad. La aplicación de análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio redujo la escala a 28 indicadores distribuidos en siete dimensiones de impacto: impacto sociocultural, impacto socioeconómico, impacto en la imagen y la promoción del municipio, impacto en el desarrollo urbano y …

El Prácticum de Ciencias Sociales en dos Universidades Iberoamericanas

2019

El artículo presenta un estudio comparativo de algunas de las percepciones que tienen futuros docentes de la Universitat de Valencia (Valencia-España) y Francisco José de Caldas (Bogotá-Colombia) sobre su desempeño docente. Las fuentes utilizadas para su análisis han sido los informes de las prácticas elaborados finalizada su intervención de aula. El trabajo se realiza desde una perspectiva cualitativa acudiendo al estudio de caso, que permite comprender un fenómeno de manera detallada. La formación inicial de profesores en didáctica de las ciencias sociales se ve influenciada por sus percepciones, que manifiestan diferencias entre las prácticas de aula y las teorías que se proponen en las …

Acceptability of domestic violence against women in the European Union: a multilevel analysis

2006

Study objective: The acceptability of domestic violence against women (DVAW) plays an important part in shaping the social environment in which the victims are embedded, which in turn may contribute either to perpetuate or to reduce the levels of DVAW in our societies. This study analyses correlates of the acceptability of DVAW in the European Union (EU). Design: Three level ordinal logistic regression of 13 457 people nested within 212 localities (cities), nested within 15 countries of the EU. Sampling is multistage with random probability. All interviews were face to face in people’s homes. The outcome variable was acceptability of DVAW. Multiple correlates at the individual, locality, an…

Un'architettura robotica per l'honest signalling nell'interazione uomo-umanoide

2017

Questo contributo descrive l’architettura di un sistema di rilevazione e classificazione integrato con robot umanoidi per specificare una classe di segnali biologicamente rilevanti che contribuiscono a rendere l’interazione con l’uomo naturale e affidabile. Si presenterà inizialmente la teoria biologica dell’honest signalling e quindi la sua estensione nella sociometrics. Infine, si illustreranno i moduli dell’architettura progettata come genera- trice di modelli di percezione sociale testabili per una classe delimitata di segnali sociali. This paper describes the architecture of a detection and classification humanoid integrated system, which is designed to specify one class of biologicall…

At‐risk children's causal inferences given emotional feedback and their understanding of the excuse‐giving process

1994

Italian male school children, ranging in age from 7 to 10 years, were identified as at‐risk children on the basis of self‐reports, teacher questionnaires, and peer nominations assessing aggression, emotional instability, and pro‐social behaviour. Together with a normal control sample, these children participated in two studies guided by attribtional theory. In Study 1, following teacher emotional feedback of anger or sympathy for failure, attributional inferences regarding low ability or lack of effort as the cause of that failure were rated. In Study 2, controllable and uncontrollable causes of a social transgression were given, and participants rated the anticipated anger of the ‘victim’…

Personality Expression and Impression Formation in Online Social Networks: An Integrative Approach to Understanding the Processes of Accuracy, Impres…

2014

In this paper, we investigate personality expression and impression formation processes in online social networks (OSNs). We explore whether, when and why people accurately judge others’ personalities (accuracy), successfully manage the impressions that others form of them (impression management) and accurately infer others’ impressions of them (meta–accuracy) at zero acquaintance. On the basis of targets’ OSN profiles (N = 103), overall perceiver impressions were collected and compared with targets’ self–view, desired impression and meta–perception. In addition, independent groups of thin–slice perceivers based their personality impressions solely on one of four kinds of information withi…
