IL LATO OSCURO DELLA COLPA!
2018
Francesco Mancini e Amelia Gangemi propongono una tesi duale sul senso di colpa delineando le caratteristiche della colpa deontologica – sensazione di avere trasgredito una norma morale senza che vi sia una vittima – e della colpa altruistica – sensazione di aver violato un principio altruistico senza la trasgressione di una norma morale. Gli autori presentano alcune prove comportamentali, cognitive e neurofisiologiche che dimostrano che i due sensi di colpa hanno tratti distintivi diversi
Community Participation in Urban Suburbs: The Italian Case of Z.E.N. Slum of Palermo
2015
Based on Kurt Lewin’s Action Research theory, the paper focuses on an Action Research project issued in Southern Italy, in the disadvantaged suburb of Palermo (Sicily), called Z.E.N., sadly famous as a dangerous and “criminogenic” urban slum, in order to stimulate social participation and to develop social change. The principal goal was the empowerment of ordinary inhabitants, obtaining their collaboration through participation, giving them acquisition of knowledge for a real social change.
Goal-setting strategy and psychological differences in marathon runners compared by gender
2019
Prior to a marathon race, we conducted a cross sectional study with 122 male and 18 female recreational runners at the Expo. Demographic information, running experience, competition level, training details, goal and finishing times, and PODIUM questionnaire on psychological state variables were collected. Motivation, training volume, experience, and relative performance were comparable between male and female marathon runners. However, men were more ambitious and perceived higher self-confidence and fitness, although overestimated their goals ( M dif = -10.4, SD = 16.7] minutes, p < .001). Women perceived higher social support, reported higher anxiety levels, were more accurate in their est…
La metafora di Edipo. Revisited.
2015
L’uso della metafora è stata una modalità di rappresentare in simboli alcune funzioni dell’inconscio in psicanalisi. Tale uso sembra essersi un po’ perso, per la maggiore attenzione che le scienze, soprattutto l’infant research, hanno riposto sul funzionamento del bambino e sul funzionamento psico-fisiologico più in generale dell’uomo. In realtà, a mio avviso, il riprendere l’uso della metafora, ed in particolar modo i simboli, non è in contraddizione con l’acquisizione delle nuove conoscenze scientifiche. Anzi, collegate a queste, possono aiutarci ad ampliare il nostro modo di rappresentazione della funzionalità psichica. Uno dei lavori classici più rappresentativi, ripresi metaforicamente…
A VR-Enhanced Rollover Car Simulator and Edutainment Application for Increasing Seat Belt Use Awareness
2021
Most countries have active road safety policies that seek the objective of reducing deaths in traffic accidents. One of the main factors in this regard is the awareness of the safety measures, one of the most important being the correct usage of the seat belt, a device that is known to save thousands of lives every year. The presented work shows a VR-enhanced edutainment application designed to increase awareness on the use of seat belts. For this goal, a motorized rollover system was developed that, synchronized with a VR application (shown in a head-mounted display for each user inside a real car), rolls over this car with up to four passengers inside. This way, users feel the sensations …
Cognitive assessment of OCD patients: Neurovr vs neuropsychological test
2014
This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Neuro- Virtual Reality as tool for the neuropsychological assessment in OCD patients. We used the neuropsychological battery and a virtual version of the Multiple Errand Test (V-MET), developed using the NeuroVR software, in order to evaluate the executive functions, the ability to plan ahead on complex problem solving tasks in daily life in 30 obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) patients and 30 healthy controls. The results showed the presence of difficulties of OCD patients: lower levels of divided attention and higher levels of errors; higher mean rank of inefficiencies, interpretation failures and rule breaks and longer ti…
Spatial-temporal interactions in the human brain
2009
The review summarises current evidence on the cognitive mechanisms for the integration of spatial and temporal representations and of common brain structures to process the where and when of stimuli. Psychophysical experiments document the presence of spatially localised distortions of sub-second time intervals and suggest that visual events are timed by neural mechanisms that are spatially selective. On the other hand, experiments with supra-second intervals suggest that time could be represented on a mental time-line ordered from left-to-right, similar to what is reported for other ordered quantities, such as numbers. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological findings point towards the posterio…
El humor verbal en situaciones comunicativas de mediación informal
2022
El presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar, desde una perspectiva sociopragmática (Norrick y Spitz 2008, Schnurr y Plester 2017), los usos y funciones del humor verbal en situaciones comunicativas informales de mediación. Partimos de la hipótesis de que el hablante que actúa como mediador emplea marcas e indicadores humorísticos durante su interacción con las partes en conflicto para relativizar la disputa, proteger su imagen y reconstruir las relaciones interpersonales (Jacobs 2002, Fraser 2007). En aras de verificar dicha conjetura, esta investigación utiliza el corpus Val.Es.Co. (Briz et al. 2002, Pons 2022) y analiza las secuencias conversacionales en las que se producen situaciones …
