Transitions among interpersonal motivations
No full textTransitions are defined as the activation of multiple Interpersonal Motivational Systems (IMS) in the context of a
single statement made either by patient or psychotherapist. In this paper the concept of “harmonious and disharmonious
transitions” is discussed. The transitions were analyzed through four transcripts of psychotherapy sessions of four
different patients, each of such a clinical complexity so as to allow for the identification of several Transitions.
Authors will discuss the vicarious function absolved by disharmonious transitions on reaching interpersonal goals in
the presence of a damaged motivational system. Finally, a dimensional harmonious-disharmonious continuum was
suggested, allowing for the diversification of multiple forms of harmonious transitions, with a different meaning and
relevance for psychopathology and attachment disorders
Il problema delle transizioni tra sistemi motivazionali interpersonali:categoria o dimensione
No full textIl Manuale per l'Analisi degli Indicatori della Motivazione Inter-personale nei Trascritti (AIMIT: Liotti, Monticelli, 2008) definisce come "transizione" l'attivazione di più Sistemi Motivazionali Interpersonali (SMI) all'interno di una singola comunicazione del paziente o del terapeuta. Il Manuale AIMIT propone un'ulteriore distinzione tra transizioni armoniche e disarmoniche. Si definiscono armoniche quelle transizioni in cui l'attivazione di più SMI appare comprensibile per l'interlocutore e per il lettore del trascritto, vi sono segnalati processi autoriflessivi e, soprattutto, vi è una spiegazione logica per l'attivazione di più sistemi (rapporti di causa -effetto, successione temporale, presenza di differenti interlocutori). Si definiscono disarmoniche le transizioni in cui i SMI si attivano in modo tale che: (1) l'interlocutore a cui essi sono rivolti appare indefinito oppure mutevole, (2) non ci sono collegamenti o spiegazioni logiche di tale successione, (3) la forma linguistica è caotica o discontinua, (4) la formulazione verbale è ambigua e il suo significato rimanda contemporaneamente a più sistemi
Verso la validazione dell’AIMIT: Uno studio della inter-rater reliability su trascritti di sedute video-registrate
No full textLa validazione dell'AIMIT
No full textLa teoria multi-motivazionale dei Sistemi Interpersonali costituisce la cornice di riferimento dello studio presentato, quale prima fase di validazione dell'AIMIT. I risultati forniscono una prima evidenza empirica dell'affidabilità di tale metodo di studio dei SMI e riconfermano l'importanza della ricerca sulla motivazione interpersonale e sull'intersoggetività nella prospettiva cognitivo-evoluzionista
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
Assessment of interpersonal motivation in transcripts (aimit): an inter- and intra-rater reliability study of a new method of detection of interpersonal motivational systems in psychotherapy
No full textAssessing Interpersonal Motivations in Transcripts (AIMIT) is a coding system aiming to systematically detect the activity of interpersonal motivational systems (IMS) in the therapeutic dialogue. An inter- and intra-rater reliability study has been conducted. Sixteen video-recorded psychotherapy sessions were selected and transcribed according to the AIMIT criteria. Sessions relate to 16 patients with
an Axis II diagnosis, with a mean Global Assessment of Functioning of 51. For the intra-rater reliability
evaluation, fi ve sessions have been selected and assigned to fi ve independent coders who where asked
to make a fi rst evaluation, and then a second independent one 14 days later. For the inter-rater reliability
study, the sessions coded by the therapist-coder were jointly revised with another coder and finally classified as gold standard. The 16 standard sessions were sent to other evaluators for the independent coding. The agreement (ê) was estimated according to the following parameters for each coding unit: evaluation units supported by the ‘codable’ activation of one or more IMS; motivational interaction
with reference to the ongoing relation between patient and therapist; an interaction between the patient and another person reported/narrated by the patient; detection of specifi c IMS: attachment (At), caregiving (CG), rank (Ra, sexuality (Se), peer cooperation (PC); and transitions from one IMS to another were also scored. The intra-rater agreement was evaluated through the parameters ‘cod’, ‘At’, ‘CG’, ‘Ra’, ‘Se’ and ‘PC’ described above. A total of 2443 coding units were analysed. For the nine parameters on which the agreement was calculated, eight [‘coded (Cod)’, ‘ongoing relation (Rel)’, ‘narrated relation
(Nar)’, ‘At’, ‘CG’, ‘Ra’, ‘Se’ and ‘PC’] have ê values comprised between 0.62 (CG) and 0.81 (Cod) and were therefore satisfactory. The scoring of ‘transitions’ showed agreement values slightly below desired
cut-off (0.56). Intra-rater reliability was very good (ê values for Cod = 0.90; ê for all IMS = 0.78). Data seem to support the validity of the AIMIT method in terms of reliability, and encourage to further implementation of the AIMIT approac
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
