Italian School Psychology as Perceived by Italian School Psychologists: The Results of a National Survey.
No full textInternational research in school psychology has suggested that Italy is among the remaining nations that have not generated systematic inquiry to clarify the practice of psychology in its schools. Italian school psychology has long been presumed to be nonexistent due to historical factors hindering its development and lack of local research readily available to a wider readership. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the growing knowledge base of Italian school psychology by presenting the findings of the first systematic nationwide research initiative targeted to gain an understanding of the profession. Surveys were collected from 1,251 schools and 690 school psychologists as respondents to obtain their perceptions of the profession. Characteristics, interface between the school and psychologist, professional practice, evaluation of professional practice and professional perceptions are discussed. Findings from this research initiative suggest that school psychology in Italy has followed a distinct evolution which has developed thus far into refined forms of consultation that are strongly correlated with relational ties between school psychologists and their schools. Implications for the training needs of school psychologists, the changing trends of interventions and areas of subsequent research are discussed
Valutazione di un programma di sensibilizzazione prosociale: «Young Prosocial Animation» (YPA)
No full textIn questo contributo sono presentati i risultati di uno studio quasi sperimentale volto a valutare un nuovo programma di sensibilizzazione prosociale negli adolescenti: lo Young Prosocial Animation (YPA). Dodici classi, 134 maschi e 116 femmine (età gruppo intervento = 14,2 anni; gruppo di controllo = 15,2), della provincia di Brindisi hanno partecipato allo studio. La prosocialità dei partecipanti è stata valutata tramite misure self-report all'inizio e alla fine dell'intervento. L'efficacia dell'intervento è stata testata tramite una regressione gerarchica controllando per lo status socio-economico, per il sesso e per i valori iniziali di prosocialità dei ragazzi. I risultati indicano che dopo l'esposizione allo YPA il gruppo di intervento ha incrementato la sua prosocialità rispetto al gruppo di controllo (p < .05). Vengono discussi aspetti metodologici per future implementazioni del programma e implicazioni relative alla promozione della prosocialità negli adolescenti
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
