The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on daily life
According to several studies, the Covid-19 pandemic has also impacted the home environment and daily life, leading to tensions and sometimes conflicts among family members. To explore these domestic dynamics, quantitative research was conducted to investigate social issues related to contemporary living conditions, ideas, and problems. In this context, a web survey conducted in 2021 with international students allowed for a deeper examination of …
The Gender Perception Towards the Future during the Pandemic
The aim of this paper is to explore the consequences resulting from global emergencies cases, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on the perceptions toward the future in a gender perspective. To this end, the analysis investigates results obtained from a web-survey, conducted in 2021, whose target group is characterized by all the Sapienza University of Rome students’ that, during the last three years, have spent an academic mobility …
La discrasia dei voti verdi. Uno studio sulla variazione del sostegno ecologista tra Europa e Italia
È ormai indiscussa la centralità che riveste il tema della sostenibilità sia sul piano istituzionale pubblico che sul piano privato: esso sta al centro delle politiche di intervento internazionali e nazionali e le persone se ne sentono sempre maggiormente coinvolte, tanto da sviluppare sensibilità individuali a questi temi spesso sempre più marcate e rinvenibili anche in modifiche concrete dei propri orientamenti e stili di vita. Partendo da tale…
Pluralismo metodologico nello studio delle dinamiche di opinione. Sociometria, web survey, agent-based modelling
The taste of contemporaneity
As the twenty-first century begins, Benjamin’s aura as the quality of an authentic-art-object might be outdated, but the notion of kitsch remains essential in a post-Warholian world. The following discussion is an attempt to assess Western contemporaneity. By using a few examples, so to dissect problems into their smallest components, I suggest that the current popularity of kitsch inclinations and behaviours in Western societies are not a means …
Enattivismo», intenzionalità, simulazione computazionale. Una prospettiva di ricerca
The question of the eligibility of the intentional action model calls into question the theses on the limits of conscious control of action and on the overcoming of the dualist conception of the mind-brain relationship. In this regard, the theme of the heterogenesis of ends – present for some time in the sociological tradition – finds its origin in the dynamics of social interdependence within which teleologically oriented acts fall. All this has…
Simulazione e crimine. Una modellizzazione a scenari
The use of the first simulative methods in the social sciences dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, but its growth and real diffusion was in the early nineties. This method has however been coupled with traditional methods of research for the study of criminal phenomena only in recent times. Surpassing the traditional statistical technique of logistic regression, this type of model has proved to be suitable for capturing complex and non-linear syst…
"On the Interplay between Extortion and Punishment. An Agent Based Model of "Camorra
This paper presents an Agent-Based Model aimed to reproduce the demographics, economic and employment variables of a Southern Italian region (Campania) where one specific variant of Extortion Racketeering Systems (Erss), camorra, is highly active and prosperous. Preliminary results of a set of simulations show the effects of varying levels of extortion and punishment on the rates of inactivity, employment, etc. of a population of agents endowed w…
Modellizzazione e simulazione nelle scienze sociali. Questioni teoriche e operative nella costruzione di modelli ad agenti
This study stems from the central issue: «Does simulation consent prediction?». It outlines the process of model building at the basis of simulation procedures in social sciences, and aims to demonstrate how a specific type of social simulation, agent-based simulation, can be considered a useful instrument able to reproduce social phenomena and their complexity. In particular, through an excursus on theoretical and methodological implications of …
