S-Frame Vs. I-Frame Interventions: The Transformation-Robustness Trade-off in Behavioural Policy
Debate over whether behavioural policy should focus on individual-level (i-frame) or system-level (s-frame) interventions has been rich, but mostly qualitative.What remains underdeveloped is a formal comparative account of how errors in policy assumptions change the relative performance of these two families of interventions.We address that gap with an agent-based model because the comparison depends on spillovers, network structure, threshold ef…
Methods and Instruments in the Study of Meaning-Making
The Representation of Immigration. A Retrospective Newspaper Analysis
The article reports a comparative study of the representation of migration in media from three countries (Greece, Italy, and Turkey), over 2001–2018 period. Analysis showed the salience of two main frames – the view of migration as a matter of security and human beings as well. Themes framing the media discourses on migration are grounded on a semantic structure that is quite similar across the three countries compared, despite their considerable…
Do cognitive styles affect vaccine hesitancy? A dual-process cognitive framework for vaccine hesitancy and the role of risk perceptions
Globalization, demand of sense and enemization of the other: A psychocultural analysis of European societies’ sociopolitical crisis
The paper outlines a cultural–psychological interpretation of the current European societies’ socio-institutional crisis. To this end, preliminarily, the cultural psychological view of social behaviour is outlined, focusing on the idea that socio-political choices depend on how people make sense of their world. Second, the paper provides an interpretation of the current socio-political European scenario of crisis, based on the main results of a r…
Utilizing Matrimonial Web sites Among Saudi Users: An Empirical Study
Given that little research has been done on unconventional means of finding and courting a potential spouse via matrimonial Web sites, this emerging form of courtship, differs substantially from Western-style online dating. This research examines the impressions Saudi users intended to form when constructing their profiles on matrimonial Web sites, the characteristics these users seek in their potential spouses, and the acceptable Saudi script fo…
Big Data is not only about data: The two cultures of modelling
The contribution of Big Data to social science is not limited to data availability but includes the introduction of analytical approaches that have been developed in computer science, and in particular in machine learning. This brings about a new 'culture' of statistical modelling that bears considerable potential for the social scientist. This argument is illustrated with a brief discussion of model-based recursive partitioning which can bridge …
The challenges and opportunities of ‘nudging’
Consider the following selective evidence\nof human behaviour in the domain of\nhealthcare. The numeric-cognition feeds\ntypically provided during public vaccin-\nation campaigns are less effective than\naffect-based perception of risk. It is\ncommon to avoid seeing doctors and/or\ndoing health checks because of anxiety\nand fear of receiving bad results. The latter\nmeans that a perceived ‘loss today’\nin the\nhealth status has a stronger impact…
Microblogging and nanotweets: Nanotechnology on Twitter
The social web represents a new arena for local, national and global conversations and will play an increasing role in the public understanding of science. This paper presents an analysis of the representations of nanotechnology on Twitter, analysing over 24,000 tweets in terms of web metrics, latent semantic and sentiment analysis. Results indicate that most active users on nanotechnology are distributed according to a power law distribution and…
Information flows and centrality among elite European newspapers
Combining citations and network analysis, this study examines information flows between 10 European elite newspapers from 2000 to 2009 and identifies this network’s most central actors, sub-groups and structural features. At the same time, the article contributes to the literature with an alternative and network approach to the study of the European public sphere. Results indicate that The Times and The Guardian are the most quoted by other forei…
