Disposizione all'ottimismo e prestazione sportiva: uno studio condotto su nuotatori master/Disposition to optimism and sport performance: A study on master swimmers
No full textAim of the research is to investigate on the relationship between optimism and fifty four swimmers at " master level"; 28 men and 26 women, aged from 22 to 55 years, participated at the research. Subjects were asked to answer to the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ, Peterson et al. 1991)and to revised version of the
About one month later, at the end of one of the usual timekeeping test provided for the training program, the coach gave to each of the participants a false feed back about the results of the test, making him/her believe to have obtained an excessively higher time in front of his potential and asking him/her to repeat the test.
An index of the differences between the two performances has been calculated and has been utilised as independent variable within a multiple regression which considered the scores of ASQ and LOT-R as predictors. The results show that both these predictors contribute significantly to determine the forecast
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
