Teachers’ implicit theories and their impact on educational opportunities of gifted students|TEORIE IMPLICITE DEGLI INSEGNANTI E IMPATTO SULLE OPPORTUNITÀ EDUCATIVE DEGLI ALUNNI PLUSDOTATI
No full textIl lavoro di Cornoldi (2020), adottando un modello gerarchico dell’intelligenza per spiegare il fenomeno della plusdotazione intellettiva, offre una chiave di lettura utile a far chiarezza sull’eterogeneità dei profili di funzionamento dei bambini plusdotati (Vogl e Preckel, 2014). Fra i punti di forza del modello proposto, oltre a considerare la specifica rilevanza dei domini e il grado di controllo operato su di essi dalle abilità mentali generali, si può sicuramente identificare l’interazione fra le abilità cognitive, i fattori emotivo-metacognitivi e l’ambiente socioculturale. In particolare, in un’ottica sistemico-evolutiva, i fattori relazionali e contestuali, unitamente a quelli genetici, sembrano assumere un ruolo critico nel favorire l’espressione del genio: perché il suo talento possa svilupparsi è necessario, infatti, poter contare su processi relazionali e contesti appropriati che sappiano coltivarlo e valorizzarlo
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Precursors of narcissism. A longitudinal study in childhood|Precursori del narcisismo Uno studio longitudinale in età evolutiva
No full textDuring childhood, particularly in the preschool age, narcissistic traits can be adaptive and favor an unrealistic and particularly positive self-view. However, later in development, it is possible that a narcissistic self-view may consolidate, depending mainly on external evaluations, which exposes the child to oscillate between the fear of loss and the desire to acquire signals about his or her personal value. This self-representation seems to be linked both to temperamental aspects and to parenting styles oriented towards excessive indulgence. In order to investigate the association between parental precursors (narcissism, parental overvaluation and positive and negative parenting) and the child’s development of a narcissistic self-view, in the present study a longitudinal design was implemented assessing parental precursors and one year later, the expected outcome. The research was conducted on a sample of 103 children, with a mean age at first recruitment of 9.68 years (SD = .65, range = 9-11). The results showed that maternal and paternal parenting styles have a different role in the development of the child’s narcissistic self-view. Negative maternal parenting (inconsistent and harsh discipline) and overvaluation were significant independent predictors of child’s narcissism one year later. Lastly, as a confirmation of what has already been demonstrated in the literature, results supported the idea that narcissism and self-esteem are two different constructs
