Sustainable conservation: the state of art and the need of guidelines about protection and enjoyment of the archeological Heritage
2019
Within the scientific debate about the conservation, in general, of Cultural Heritage and, in particular, of Archaeological Heritage which are characterized by a dual tangible and intangible nature; and in consistence with Technological Culture for its features concerning the right development and enjoyment of the Heritage, the present essay offers a critical interpretation of the literature about a protection system with an architectural shelter for archaeological sites. On the basis of the critical elements detected in the activities that took place over the past sixty years, this essay underlines the absolute impossibility to postpone the definition of the guidelines which need to be alw…
La realidad virtual en la fase precompra del turismo de cruceros: un estudio experimental basado en la variable presencia
2023
En el ámbito del turismo, nuevas tecnologías disruptivas como la Realidad Virtual (RV) están remodelando la experiencia del consumidor (Beck et al., 2019; Flavián et al., 2019). En la fase precompra, la RV se posiciona como una herramienta especialmente útil al proveer al consumidor de una simulación sensorial de la experiencia turística de manera previa al viaje (Tussyadiah et al., 2018). Entre las cualidades distintivas de la RV destaca la alta capacidad para generar la sensación de presencia (Biocca, 1997), definida como un estado psicológico en el que el usuario se siente en el entorno virtual representado (Steuer, 1992). No obstante, la exploración y adaptación de la RV en turismo toda…
Finnish students’ enjoyment and anxiety levels during fitness testing classes
2020
Background: Fitness testing is a commonly applied learning and teaching practice implemented in both secondary and elementary school physical education (PE). Many teachers believe that by using a variety of different tests, they are able to provide students with feedback regarding their fitness status, and furthermore, increase students’ willingness to be physically active later in their lives. However, empirical evidence concerning students’ affective responses during fitness testing classes is limited. Purpose: The primary aim of the study was to investigate whether students’ perceptions of enjoyment and anxiety differed between two different types of fitness testing classes and PE in gen…
Las elecciones de 9 de marzo de 2008 en España
2008
Este artículo describe con detalle las elecciones generales de 2008 en España. Su interés no sólo está en la exhaustiva presentación de los datos, sino también en el punto de vista de la propia autora: se trata de análisis de la política española realizado desde Italia. La posición del observador facilita un relato más aséptico de los acontecimientos que dan cuenta de los comicios en los que, por segunda vez consecutiva, Zapatero fue el más votado. En el texto podemos comparar las estrategias electorales de los dos grandes partidos (PSOE y PP), sus diferencias programáticas y el contexto sociopolítico español, desgraciadamente marcado por la violencia terrorista.
Édouard Marsoin, Melville et l’usage des plaisirs.
2019
Avec Melville et l’usage des plaisirs, Edouard Marsoin fait une contribution innovante et importante a la critique d’un des auteurs americains majeurs du dix-neuvieme siecle. Innovante parce que le theme du plaisir n’est pas souvent associe a Herman Melville, dont la fiction, pour un grand nombre de lecteurs, comme le rappelle Marsoin, « serait ‘noire’, pessimiste et misanthrope » (12) — meme s’il y a depuis longtemps des etudes qui montrent que cette image est reductrice. Et importante parc...
Prediction of enjoyment in school physical education
2012
The specific aim of this study was to examine whether motivational climate, perceived physical competence, and exercise motivation predict enjoyment in school physical education within the same sample of adolescents across three years of secondary school. A sample of 639 students (girls = 296, boys = 343) aged between 13- to 15-years at the commencement of the study completed the Intrinsic Motivation Climate in Physical Education Questionnaire, Physical Self-Perception Profile, Physical Education Motivation Scale, and Physical Education Enjoyment Scale. Results derived from path analyses indicated that task-involving motivational climate predicted enjoyment in physical education via perceiv…

Effect of an internet-based intervention for adjustment disorder on meaning in life and enjoyment
2022
Abstract Introduction Positive psychological variables, such as meaning in life and the capacity for enjoyment, are important resilience factors against negative behaviors and symptoms. These constructs are related to better emotional regulation strategies, a greater perception of control over one’s life, and better mental health in general. Adjustment disorder (AjD) is a prevalent condition defined as the failure to adapt to a stressful event. Objective This study presents secondary analysis data on the effect of an Internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention (iCBT) for AjD on meaning in life and capacity for enjoyment, compared to a control group. Method The sample consis…
Affect in the Context of Self-Determination Theory
2018
Self-determination theory has been applied to understand the role of affect in motivation and behavior in health contexts. According to self-determination theory, autonomous forms of motivation, reflecting self-endorsed reasons for acting and the satisfaction of psychological needs, are related to participation and persistence in health behavior. Research examining the role of affect in determining health behavior from the perspective of the theory is relatively sparse. Affect has served as both an outcome and process in applications of the theory to health behavior. Positive affect and psychological well-being have been identified as important outcomes of participating in behaviors for aut…
