Need for closure effect on collective action intentions and behavior toward immigrants in Italy: The mediation of binding foundations and political conservatism

Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 2019
Why are people (de)motivated to mobilize in favor of immigrants? Addressing this question, we investigated the role of individuals' epistemic motivation (i.e., need for closure) in influencing the process of becoming motivated to participate in ...

Testing for personality consistency across naturally occurring behavioral contexts in sanctuary chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Sanctuary chimpanzees show consistency of their personality‐based behaviors across real‐life contexts and over time while displaying interindividual differences in the consistency of their personality‐based behavioral profile Abstract Personality is both a reflection of the bio‐behavioral profile of individuals and a summary of how they typically ...

Kurt Lewin, psychological constructs and sources of brain cognitive activity [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Understanding mind-brain-environment relations is one of the key topics in psychology. Kurt Lewin, inspired by theoretical physics, tried to establish topological and vector psychology analyzing patterns of interaction between the individual and her/his environment.

State of the Art of Low‐Frequency Acoustic Modulation: Intensity Enhancement and Directional Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High intensity low‐frequency sound sources hold significant value in many fields. However, their long wavelength, strong penetrability, and tendency to diffract make direction control and intensity enhancement challenging. Acoustic generators and metamaterial‐based acoustic devices still face issues such as low energy efficiency, poor directional ...

Viruses in sanctuary chimpanzees across Africa

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Infectious disease is a major concern for both wild and captive primate populations. Primate sanctuaries in Africa provide critical protection to thousands of wild‐born, orphan primates confiscated from the bushmeat and pet trades. However, uncertainty about the infectious agents these individuals potentially harbor has important implications ...

Effects of Age and Initial Risk Perception on Balloon Analog Risk Task: The Mediating Role of Processing Speed and Need for Cognitive Closure

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
According to the dual-process theoretical perspective adopted in the presented research, the efficiency of deliberative processes in decision making declines with age, but experiential processes are relatively well-preserved.

Shared and Unique Neural Codes for Biological Motion Perception in Humans and Macaque Monkeys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cross‐species fMRI studies reveal distinct neural mechanisms for biological motion (BM) processing. In humans, the posterior superior temporal sulcus (hpSTS) selectively responds to conspecific BM, while monkeys process BM from both species in the middle temporal area (MT).

When good intentions are not enough: Professionals’ perceptions of the South Australian communication partner scheme

Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 970-986, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Children and other vulnerable parties such as those with a cognitive, social or communication impairment frequently struggle to understand, and be understood in, the criminal justice environment. One way this has been addressed in jurisdictions around Australia and overseas is through the introduction of intermediary (or communication partner)

Social Dominance Orientation, Dispositional Empathy, and Need for Cognitive Closure Moderate the Impact of Empathy-Skills Training, but Not Patient Contact, on Medical Students' Negative Attitudes toward Higher-Weight Patients

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Anti-fat bias in healthcare providers and medical students has serious implications for quality of care of higher-weight patients. Studies of interventions aimed at reducing anti-fat attitudes in medical students have generally been disappointing, with ...
