Archicottura: architettura e pratiche sociali
2020
In una realtà interattiva e reattiva non stupisce il crescente interesse per la relazione tra architettura e pratiche sociali (Archi_Cottura). Delle molteplici declinazioni in cui il rapporto può essere inteso è utile soffermarsi, fra ‘cose’ e ‘dispositivi’, sui luoghi e gli spazi che individuano delle diverse potenzialità identitarie. Architettura e pratiche sociali intrattengono un legame più profondo se li consideriamo come forme di interpretazione del rapporto fra la memoria ancestrale dell’uomo e il dinamismo spaziale che si coagula in idee e azioni di progetto. Trovandoci nell’era della domotica questa tensione ermeneutica del costruire viene controbilanciata, all’interno dell’organis…
Privileged places in the city: urban quality, livability, sustainability

Unfortunately, conurbation phenomena have taken over, leaving local places and identities to disintegrate, marking a clear break between community and settlement, obstructing the common good and the use of public spaces.

Prosociality and life satisfaction: A daily-diary investigation among Spanish university students
2018
Abstract With a diary study, we tested the positive effect of prosociality on life satisfaction. Fifty-six Spanish undergraduate students (45 females; Mage = 21.08 years) rated their life satisfaction, prosociality, self-esteem, and physical appearance for 5 consecutive days. Multilevel results indicated that within-individual positive deviations in prosociality (i.e., behaving more prosocial than usual) were uniquely and significantly associated with higher life satisfaction on that specific day. Students' self-esteem, physical appearance, and positive daily events were also predictive of life satisfaction. Exploratory analyses revealed that the positive effect of prosociality on life sati…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…
