The need to grow, learn and develop – how does management affect motivation for professional development?
2018
This article argues that knowledge management and social recognition is important for organisational learning and professional self-esteem in academic libraries. An anonymous survey was issued in 2016 to investigate how library staff’s self-esteem is affected by how they experience their management’s view and overview of their knowledge. The need for what Axel Honneth refers to as social recognition will also be discussed as an important part of how professional self-esteem and work satisfaction is experienced and further how this affects motivation to participate in professional development.
Sporting habits of urban runners: Classification according to their motivation
2019
This study analyses the sporting habits of runners participating in short-distance urban running events to identify groups with different motivations towards the practice of endurance running and participation in urban running events. A sample consisting of 937 participants in the Valencia running circuit was interviewed using a questionnaire consisting of a scale of 22 items to analyse their motives for participating in popular races. An exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis was carried out to check the validity of the instrument, and the analysis identified the following four factors into which the indicators were grouped: psychological and physical motives (3 items), social mot…
Recognition in multicultural societies. Intergroup relations as second-order recognition
2015
Since the 1990s, the notion of social recognition has developed into a key concept for sociological theory. Recognition theory seems especially promising as a means of understanding intercultural conflicts, as the sociology of intercultural relations often addresses claims of recognition of a specific identity that is different from that of the main society. The aim of this article is to show that recognition theory can be used as a key concept in examining group inclusion in multicultural societies. Nevertheless, the existing theoretical approaches to recognition are insufficient for that purpose. Therefore, I develop my own approach to the recognition of minority groups as second-order re…
La honte d’exister
2013
RésuméÀ la différence de la honte sociale, la honte ontologique se distingue nettement de la culpabilité. La culpabilité a trait à ce que l’on fait (ou ce que l’on est supposé avoir fait), tandis que la honte ontologique se rapporte à ce que l’on est (ou à ce que l’on se sent être). Cette honte se manifeste sous diverses formes : échecs involontairement entretenus, agressivité, déni. La honte ontologique est fréquemment liée au handicap en raison de ce qu’il représente pour soi (ne plus être soi après l’accident), pour sa famille (la venue d’un enfant qui a un handicap de naissance). Mais la honte d’exister n’est pas réservée aux personnes qui ont un handicap, de même qu’il n’est pas obliga…
Entrevista semiestructurada para la exploración de la violencia sexual sobre las mujeres en la relación de la pareja (EVS)
2016
La violencia sexual en el ámbito de la relación de pareja es un problema grave experimentado por un alto número de mujeres. Sin embargo, es difícil su detección por la ausencia de reconocimiento social. Este tipo de violencia con frecuencia se da ligado a otras formas de maltrato, no obstante observamos que diferentes protocolos de entrevista publicados para explorarla, no la evalúan o lo hacen de forma superficial. Esto se suma al hecho de que algunas de las mujeres que lo sufren no son conscientes del maltrato, ni de la gravedad e impacto real que tiene sobre ellas. Por todo ello, nuestro objetivo es proponer una herramienta de recogida de información sobre la violencia sexual en la parej…

Age as a determining variable in the practice or abandonment of physical exercise among young people
2021
Background Numerous studies have reported a gradual decline in the practice of physical exercise with age, confirming high dropout rates in the adolescent period. The aim of this study was to investigate the motivation or barriers that lead to greater or lesser adherence to physical exercise among children and adolescents. Methods In this study, 1,081 individuals volunteered to participate [239 children (age: 10.89 ± .66 years) and 842 adolescents (age: 14.9 ± 1.75 years)]. For this purpose, we used the Self-Report on Motivation for Exercising (AMPEF) and Self-Report on Barriers to Exercising (ABPEF) questionnaires. Results The most significant motivational factors in the practice of physi…
Predicting and Measuring Decision Rules for Social Recognition in a Neotropical Frog.
2022
AbstractMany animals use signals, such as vocalizations, to recognize familiar individuals. However, animals risk making recognition mistakes because the signal properties of different individuals often overlap due to within-individual variation in signal production. To understand the relationship between signal variation and decision rules for social recognition, we studied male golden rocket frogs, which recognize the calls of territory neighbors and respond less aggressively to a neighbor’s calls than to the calls of strangers. We quantified patterns of individual variation in acoustic properties of calls and predicted optimal discrimination thresholds using a signal detection theory mod…
The Legend of Excellent Businessman. A Neuroethical Perspective
2019
If the question about the causes of the crises has generated a good deal of literature in Spain, the key issue in recent times has been how to create that tangible and intangible wealth that only companies can give. One of the proposals that specialists agree upon is to revitalise the business entrepreneurial spirit, presenting the entrepreneurs’ way of life as an attractive option, due to the good they produce and the social recognition they enjoy. Accepting the suggestions of the so-called “narrative turn”, the article analyses the virtualities of business narratives in order to enhance the role of entrepreneurs. To this end, the article aims to cover three stages: (1) narratives are nece…
Social mirrors. Tove Jansson’sInvisibleChildand the importance of being seen
2016
ABSTRACTThis article examines the experience of being seen and analyzes its central role in the formation of a coherent sense of self. Tove Jansson’s short story from 1962, ‘The Invisible Child’, serves as the red thread of the article, and the story is analyzed in the light of Donald Winnicott’s work on social mirroring. The analysis is enriched by the psychoanalytic insights of Veikko Tahka and Heinz Kohut, and complemented by Axel Honneth’s philosophical elaborations as well as by recent developmental findings as presented by Vasudevi Reddy. The article is divided into an introduction and three sections. After summarizing Jansson’s story in the introduction, the first section elaborates …
