Links between maternal feeding practices and children's eating difficulties. Validation of French tools
2012
Abstract: The main objectives of the study were to validate a measure of young children's eating difficulties and maternal feeding practices in a French sample, and to assess the links between these practices and children's eating difficulties. Mothers of French children aged 20-36 months completed 4 questionnaires that were validated using a Structural Equation Modelling approach. Links between children and maternal components were investigated using a PLS regression. The Children's Eating Difficulties Questionnaire yielded a 4-dimension solution: Neophobia, Pickiness, Low Appetite and Low Enjoyment in food. The Feeding Style Questionnaire assessed 3 dimensions: Authoritarian, Authoritativ…
Educational styles, peers’ approval and adolescent self-injurious behaviours
2010
The present research aims at understanding how the same body may became object of aggression and destruction by adolescents' self-injurious behaviours.

The research aims at studying the relationship between educational styles, self-injurious behaviours and the social representation of the phenomenon in a group of adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years. Research has shown that on the basis of self-injurious behaviours there are the perception of an authoritarian educational style and approval by peers and brothers. (C) 2010 Elsev…

Autoritarisme de dretes: antecedents i perspectives de futur
2012
Aquest article presenta els principals antecedents per a l'estudi psicològic de l'autoritarisme de dretes. Per a tal fi es parteix dels treballs del Grup de Berkeley (1950) sobre la personalitat autoritària, posteriorment s'introdueix el concepte de dogmatisme proposat per Rokeach (1960) i després es comenten les aportacions d'Altemeyer (1981, 2004) sobre l'autoritarisme de dretes. Després es discuteix la possibilitat de l'estudi de l'autoritarisme en el continu ideològic d'esquerres i finalment s'exposen alguns dels avanços de l'última dècada sobre la dimensionalitat del constructe (Funke 2005, Mavor, Louis & Laythe 2011, Smith & Winter 2002), que permetrà avançar en l'esclariment del conf…
State and Religion in Ethiopia
2016
In this chapter, Steen-Johnsen presents a study of religious peacebuilding in Ethiopia to depict how religious peacebuilders are affected by the political strategies of state authorities related to civil society. She outlines how Ethiopian politics have been historically dominated by an Amhara-Orthodox elite. This dominance persists in contemporary political life in Ethiopia. Steen-Johnsen also presents the current political strategies of the Ethiopian authoritarian regime aimed at controlling political mobilization in the civil and religious spheres. She outlines how religious and civil actors in the country have historically been submissive to state authorities and suggests that this form…
Co-operative wineries: Temporal solution or efficient firms? The Spanish case during late Francoism, 1970–1981
2015
Part of economic theory has regarded co-operative firms as useful tools for dealing with market failures during periods of economic contraction, but also as suffering severe efficiency problems during periods of growth. The main aim of this article is to test this hypothesis in the case of Spanish co-operative wineries during the years of late Francoism. In order to do this, the balance sheets of 75 co-operative firms from the 1970s have been subject to financial-ratio analyses. The main conclusion is that these firms were inefficient due to their excessive financial debt. The Spanish Francoist government promoted their creation and granted financial aid – for their value as social and econ…
Left-Authoritarians and Voter Turnout in West European Countries
2017
Parties with a left profile on economic issues and an authoritarian profile on socio-cultural issues have been largely absent from the supply side of the typical post-World-War-II policy space of West European democracies. As a result, citizens with economically left and socio-culturally authoritarian policy positions have faced difficulties in identifying parties that match their preference bundle. Building on previous inquiries into the party preferences of left-authoritarians, this study hypothesizes that the cross-pressures left-authoritarians typically encounter when looking for a party that matches their preferences translate into an overall lower likelihood to turn out to vote in nat…
Do as the Romans do: On the authoritarian roots of pseudoscience
2020
Recent research highlights the implications of group dynamics in the acceptance and promotion of misconceptions, particularly in relation to the identity-protective attitudes that boost polarisation over scientific information. In this study, we successfully test a mediational model between right-wing authoritarianism and pseudoscientific beliefs. First, we carry out a comprehensive literature review on the socio-political background of pseudoscientific beliefs. Second, we conduct two studies (n=1189 and n=1097) to confirm our working hypotheses: H1 – intercorrelation between pseudoscientific beliefs, authoritarianism and three axioms (reward for application, religiosity and fate control); …
Pandemia e capitalismo del XXI secolo. Gestione securitaria della crisi tra individualizzazione neoliberista e ristrutturazione delle forze produttive
2020
Il contributo propone una riflessione sul Sars-Cov-2 quale epifenomeno del modo di produzione capitalistico ed in particolare della sua fase neoliberista. La pandemia, accelerando dinamiche e contraddizioni del capitale già preesistenti, è indubbiamente correlata agli aspetti più predatori del modo di produzione capitalistico, particolarmente nei confronti della natura e della biodiversità. Il saggio cerca anche di far riflettere su altri due aspetti emersi durante la pandemia: la gestione della pandemia, non solo in termini sanitari, è profondamente legata ai processi di individualizzazione, visti quali esiti delle trasformazioni sociali indotte dal neoliberismo; inoltre, il modo in cui si…
The mothering of conduct problem and normal children in Spain and the USA: authoritarian and permissive asynchrony.
2005
Ninety-two clinic-referred and nonclinical mother-child dyads in Spain and the USA were observed in their home settings under naturalistic conditions for a total of 477 hours. Children in the clinic-referred dyads were considered troubled because of conduct problems. The observations were aimed at assessing two forms of mother-child asynchrony, either of which was expected to differentiate clinic referred from nonclinical dyads. Authoritarian asynchrony was defined as a mother's indiscriminate use of aversive reactions to her child, whereas the permissive form entailed indiscriminate positive reactions. Results showed the American mothers to generate more permissive asynchrony, whereas the …
