The development of social values in childhood and early adolescence: A systemat...

Values are central to human social life. As conceptualised in Schwartz’s (1992) Theory of Basic Human Values, they are core to a person’s self-concept and drive individual actions towards both personal development and social transformation. Although, cross-cultural research with adults shows a consensus regarding value structure and priorities, research with young populations is still very recent. In this paper...

National perceptions of over-70s' status as a moderator in the link between vol...

This study examines the moderating role of national subjective social status (SSS) perceptions of the general population about individuals over the age of 70 on the relationship between volunteering and subjective well-being (health, happiness, and life satisfaction) of older adults. We hypothesize that in countries where the over-70s are perceived to have higher status, the relationship between volunteering an...

Leaders or villains? The role of corruption in shaping the stereotypes of polit...

The ways in which politicians are stereotyped contribute to perceptions of the legitimacy of their power, status and leadership. In this research, we examined how corruption impacts the stereotypes of politicians. By examining stereotype content, we posited that corruption should elicit morality-related traits, while in contexts of no corruption, both morality and competence should emerge as key dimensions.

Tuttavia, l’ambiente costruito esistente ri- mane ancora insufficientemente accessibile, in particolare nella progettazione delle “green streets”, che integrano modalità di mobilità attiva come biciclette e monopattini in...

Age-friendly cities and active mobility: A thematic analysis based on immersive...

Public outdoor spaces in cities need renovation to accommodate new mobility forms and attend an ageing population. The quality of public spaces is rarely assessed, and when it is, it typically relies on post-occupancy methods that have marginal impact. Incorporating older adults' perceptions during the design phase to influence public space development is even less common. Digital technologies, such as virtual ...

Each workshop, facilitated by two certified art therapists, involved groups of 5 to 13 students. The workshops includ...

Engineered Ashbya gossypii for single-cell oil production from non-detoxified E...

In addition to riboflavin, engineered A. gossypii strains are capable of producing other compounds of interest for the food and feed ...
