The Economy of Communion as a Social Innovation to Humanise Business
2018
The purpose of this chapter is to better understand the growth of EoC, analysing this movement from the perspective of social innovation and examining the innovative activities of EoC businesses. We have found that EoC is based on solid values and principles, and has a clear objective, which is to fight for a better world, eliminating poverty. Companies inspired by human-oriented management practices are those which move to achieve this objective. We argue in this chapter that EoC is a radical social innovation, as it is social in both its ends and its means, meeting social needs and creating new social relationships and collaborations. This paper analyses three Spanish EoC companies, using…
P-Value, Confidence Intervals, and Statistical Inference: A New Dataset of Misinterpretation
2017
Statistical inference is essential for science since the twentieth century (Salsburg, 2001). Since it's introduction into science, the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), in which the P-value serves as the index of “statistically significant,” is the most widely used statistical method in psychology (Sterling et al., 1995; Cumming et al., 2007), as well as other fields (Wasserstein and Lazar, 2016). However, surveys consistently showed that researchers in psychology may not able to interpret P-value and related statistical procedures correctly (Oakes, 1986; Haller and Krauss, 2002; Hoekstra et al., 2014; Badenes-Ribera et al., 2016). Even worse, these misinterpretations of P-value …
The role of spirituality in coping: Examining the relationships between spiritual dimensions and coping styles
2008
This article explores the role played by spirituality in coping and presents the relationships between spiritual dimensions and coping styles. Spirituality has been considered as an important buffer against stressful events which may help people to overcome their distress and difficulties. Two hundred and eight individuals completed questionnaires which included the Self-description Questionnaire of Spirituality and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. The results suggest that three spiritual dimensions, i.e., Religious attitudes, Ethical sensitivity, and Harmony, play an important role in coping processes. The dimensions have a different impact on particular styles depending on t…

Spirituality and Ethnocultural Empathy Among Italian Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Religious Identity Formation Processes
2019
The current study examined the unique and combined roles of spirituality and religious identity formation processes on ethnocultural empathy among Italian youth. Spirituality was conceptualized as a desire for self-transcendence. Ethnocultural empathy entails concern for those of other cultural backgrounds. It was hypothesized that spirituality would predict ethnocultural empathy indirectly by way of religious identity commitment and in-depth exploration. Religious identity commitment is the extent to which people have invested in a particular religious worldview and community, whereas religious identity in-depth exploration is the degree to which they are actively seeking to learn more abo…
‘That is Why I Gave In to Age My Competitive Ability, but Not My Soul!’ A Spiritual Journey in Endurance Running
2012
In this article, we explore the spiritual dimensions of endurance running. Utilizing existential psychology as our theoretical framework, we approach spirituality as a broad concept encompassing both religious and humanistic worldviews. Through the first author's reflexive narrative and a discourse analysis of a Finnish runner's magazine, Juoksija, this study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how distance runners negotiate dominant discourses on sport and religion in the process of making running existentially meaningful to them. The research results suggest that spiritual aspects of running underlie, but are rarely given voice in, the performance discourse that is dominant in Finnish…
Religione, benessere e job satisfaction: quale nesso possibile?
2022
Il presente contributo nasce dall'esigenza di approfondire il possibile nesso tra la dimensione del "sentire" religioso e quella dell'"agire" lavorativo, nel tentativo di (ri)portare la spiritualità all'interno del dibattito sociologico sul lavoro. Infatti, sebbene nel corso degli ultimi anni la letteratura sociologica ha mostrato come la qualità del lavoro sia un concetto multidimensionale e dinamico, la dimensione religiosa e/o spirituale del lavoratore non ha trovato adeguato spazio nella definizione di qualità del lavoro o negli interventi a suo favore. Attraverso la differenziazione dei concetti quali religiosità, spiritualità e soddisfazione sul lavoro, si giunge alla conclusione che …

Il contributo della religione e della spiritualità allo sviluppo positivo dei giovani. Una rassegna sistematica della letteratura
2020
La prospettiva teorica del Positive Youth Development (PYD) suggerisce come la religione e la spiritualità possano rappresentare risorse, ideologiche e sociali, capaci di sostenere percorsi di sviluppo positivo nei giovani. Considerato ciò, il presente lavoro ha rivisto sistematicamente la più recente letteratura, con l’obiettivo di studiare il contributo di tali risorse. È stata inizialmente interrogata la banca dati Scopus. Diciannove studi, pubblicati dal 2000 in poi e rispettanti i criteri stabiliti, sono stati inclusi nella rassegna. I risultati offrono indicazioni su quali siano le condizioni per le quali religione e spiritualità possono incentivare efficacemente lo sviluppo ottimale …
