Thesis: THE HYBRID NATURE OF ECOLOGICAL CONCEPTS: EVIDENCE FROM MULTIPLE METHODOLOGIES
No full textClimate change represents one of the greatest challenges of the modern era. Due to the increasing suffering of the Planet and living beings for environmental transformations that are, in most cases, generated by human conduct, a broad body of research has worked to identify factors leading to pro-environmental behaviors. Strikingly, several aspects were deepened, except cognitive representations of ecological events.
Thus, my research contributions aimed to fill this gap, investigating for the first time the conceptualization of ecology in light of studies on abstract and concrete concepts and also comparing different age groups. Across four experiments, I examined the semantic organization, representation, and processing of ecological concepts by relying on multiple data (ratings, word associations, reaction times, Event-Related Potentials) collected through both behavioral (rating task, semantic fluency tasks, Go/No-Go task, feature verification task) and neuro (EEG) methodologies. All my works tested the hypothesis that ecological concepts might constitute a hybrid conceptual domain, showing properties of abstract and concrete concepts, and that their conceptualization might vary across generations.
Overall, results depicted ecological concepts as more similar to abstract concepts (mainly in semantic organization and conceptual representation, as expressed by feature retrieval) or more abstractly characterized than them (mainly in semantic organization and conceptual processing). We found minimal age differences, with older adults slightly differing in the knowledge related to ecology and showing a richer, more complex, and less abstract characterization of the domain than their younger counterparts.
Findings are relevant from different perspectives. On a theoretical side, the malleable and multifarious nature of ecological concepts challenges the traditional concrete-abstract dichotomy, highlighting the flexible character of abstractness; on a societal side, our results might inform awareness policies and interventions on climate change; on a scientific side, they might help raise research on this increasingly urgent topic by equipping the scientific community with two free available databases (TECo and O-TECo) containing semantic norms for ecological concepts tailored to both general population and older adults
Nutritional Quality, Environmental Impact and Affordability of Alternative Proteins as compared to animal proteins using a meta-analysis approach
No full textAlternative proteins refer to non-traditional high protein foods. These innovative foods aim to compete with conventional animal products by offering sustainable, nutritious, and tasty protein-rich sources. They include plant-based meat, lab-grown meat, fermented products and edible insects. In other to reduce the impact of animal protein on health and the environment. Scientist are innovating alternative protein solution. Though, researches are being conducted on the environmental impact, nutritional quality and affordability of alternative protein sources, a comprehensive analysis comparing these alternative protein sources to animal protein sources is lacking. This study therefore has been designed to fill in this gap in knowledge by making a comprehensive comparison of alternative protein sources comparing their environmental impact, nutritional quality, and affordability to the animal protein sources.
This study will contribute to new knowledge through meta-analysis of existing studies with alternative protein sources, providing a comprehensive comparison in terms of environmental impact, nutritional quality, and affordability across protein sources

如何通过再分配提振消费、促进经济增长
No full text本文提出稳增长政策应重视收入分配结构与促消费、稳增长的关系。文章在已有研究的基础上，分析宏观收入分配结构对经济增长的影响，并针对我国居民可支配收入占比低、再分配调节不够合理、民生领域支出有待增加等实际情况，从增加居民部门可支配收入、提高边际消费倾向、引导需求结构向消费倾斜等方面，提出一系列政策建议。同时，本文基于对政府债务提升空间的测算，提出通过增发国债等政策弥补资金缺口，优化资金使用。本文贡献在于系统论证了再分配政策对消费的传导路径，指出政策应兼顾短期刺激与长期改革、平衡消费与投资，为有关部门优化收入分配格局、释放内需潜力提供了理论依据和实践方向
Is Relevancy Everything? A Deep-Learning Approach to Understand the Effect of Image-Text Congruence
No full textFirms increasingly use a combination of image and text description when displaying products and engaging consumers. Existing research has examined consumers' response to text and image stimuli separately but has yet to systematically consider how the semantic relationship between image and text impacts consumer choice. In this research, we conduct a series of multimethod empirical studies to examine the congruence between image- and text-based product representation. First, we propose a deep-learning approach to measure image-text congruence by building a state-of-the-art two-branch neural network model based on wide residual networks and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers. Next, we apply our method to data from an online reading platform and discover a U-shaped effect of image-text congruence: Consumers' preference toward a product is higher when the congruence between the image and text representation is either high or low than when the congruence is at the medium level. We then conduct experiments to establish the causal effect of this finding and explore the underlying mechanisms. We further explore the generalizability of the proposed deep-learning model and our substantive finding in two additional settings. Our research contributes to the literature on consumer information processing and generates managerial implications for practitioners on how to strategically pair images and text on digital platforms
Don't expect robots to be creative:Why and when organizational dehumanization is a creativity killer
No full textDrawing on regulatory focus theory, this study examines whether, how and when organizational dehumanization affects frontline service employees’ creativity. Aiming to test our hypotheses, we conducted a three-wave survey of 228 leader–employee dyads in a hotel group in China. Data analyses revealed that organizational dehumanization has disruptive effects on frontline service employees’ creativity. In addition, we found that promotion focus mediates the link connecting organizational dehumanization to frontline service employees’ creativity. Furthermore, frontline service employees’ core self-evaluation and job social support are two important moderators that attenuate the direct influence of organizational dehumanization on frontline service employees’ promotion focus, and its indirect effect on frontline service employees’ creativity via promotion focus. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings
