Traces of Hope from a New Transnational Well-Being Index: World Love Index
The article discusses the development of a new measurement called the World Love Index, which aims to evaluate people’s capacity to care for others and the world as an indicator of well-being. Drawing inspiration from appeals by intellectuals to shift towards a new form of humanism, the proposed new index aims to mark the transition towards a new social ecology, and it emphasizes the importance of social connections and relationships. In this way…
Brushing Society Against the Grain: Digital Footprints, Scraps, Non-Human Acts, Crumbs, and Other Traces
This article explores the growing role of traces and footprints in social science, giving an outline of the main concepts and empirical questions discussed in this special issue. Remarkably, the study of traces (unobtrusive, necessarily interpretative, theory-driven and data-fueled at the same time) considers them as unwillingly insightful and strategic materials. However, the difference between information "intentionally transmitted" and informa…
What People Leave Behind: Marks, Traces, Footprints and their Relevance to Knowledge Society
This open access volume focuses on a particular but significant topic in the social sciences: the concepts of “footprint” and “trace”.
I valori contano? Una ricerca sui comportamenti pro-ambientali nella città di Roma
This study investigates the relationship between the individual values and the pro-environmental behaviors, as they are actions \nbeneficial for the natural environment. In the literature the pro-environmental behaviors can be classified according to the amount of \nknowledge required to act correctly. Empirical findings show that the young age and the high degree of education influence a wide \nrange of pro-environmental behaviors, especially th…
Challenges for Creating a Transnational Index From Secondary Sources: The World Love Index in the Making
This case focuses on the construction of the World Love Index, a new index built ad hoc on secondary sources with the aim of showing, through transnational comparisons, the different levels of Social Love (SL) present in different countries. The idea is part of the debate “Beyond GDP” which aims to develop indicators of the progress of a society, taking into account the environmental and social aspects of well-being. Within this framework, SL is …
Matthew J. Salganik, Bit By Bit. La ricerca sociale nell’era digitale: Bologna, il Mulino, 2020
La “ricerca sociale digitale”, o “i metodi digitali per la ricerca sociale”, si stanno quasi affermando come un nuovo ambito di specializzazione: in Italia e all’estero si scrivono libri e articoli scientifici; si istituiscono insegnamenti nei corsi universitari che si richiamano a una delle due epigrafi sopra citate. Il libro di Salganik – pubblicato nel 2018 dalla Princeton University Press e tradotto nel 2020 per i tipi de il Mulino – fa quind…
La survey tra crisi e innovazione
The paper analyzes the main methodological innovations of the survey research, within the context of its historical development. Referring to the histori-cal summary proposed by Groves in 2011, three eras of research surveys – the origins, the expansion and the challenges coming from the so-called organic data – are reviewed. The article illustrates the main directions of innovation, both those within research design (Web survey, mixed modes, sur…
L'integrazione tra le scienze sociali e le scienze biologiche nelle biosocial surveys
Biosocial surveys are becoming increasingly popular at an international level as a new type of survey. The expression «biosocial survey» refers to research designed to gather two different types of information from individuals: bi-omarkers and answers to questions of more traditional survey topics, such as at-titudes, opinions, lifestyle, etc. In the paper, we discuss theories and approaches that see biosocial surveys as a research strategy – fro…
Scales and Scaling
In social sciences the term “scaling” encompasses specific processes to measure properties such as sentiment, opinions, attitudes, and so on. “To scale” can mean very different things: by scaling techniques such as Likert scales or Guttman scales the researcher can rank people along a specific dimension; other techniques, if the requirements for their application are met, allow the researcher to quantify the distances among people along a dimensi…
Audience Research
The expression “audience research” usually refers to the empirical study of media consumption that can be done to serve different purposes. When audience research is conducted to estimate how many members of a target population are viewers or listeners of a TV or radio program or, more generally, the number of users of a media service or product, it relies on the strategies and tools of quantitative social research. Audience research can also be …
Self‐Fulfilling Prophecy
Robert K. Merton defines a self‐fulfilling prophecy as a false definition of a situation, which causes a behavior that, in turn, makes the initial false conception come true. As a general representation of a specific relation between beliefs and reality, the concept of self‐fulfilling prophecy is useful to describe and analyze manifold kinds of psychological and social phenomena. Broadly speaking, we can say that the concept of self‐fulfilling pr…
Considerazioni metodologiche sulla Vqr 2011-2014 e possibili sviluppi della valutazione
The work wants to address the methodological and procedural aspects of recent exercise of VQR 2011-2014 from a critical and constructive point of view. After a brief introduction, the longstanding issue of an universally applicable quality research definition, which is functional for organisation of research-outputs evaluation form and for formulation of referee evaluation, is deal with. Subsequently, the procedure for the composition of GEVs, th…
Lo studio dell'opinione pubblica al tempo dei big data. Una sfida per la ricerca sociale
According to many scholars, social networks provide an unobtrusive vision of public opinion, overcoming in this way the problem of social desirability, typical of the study of public opinion through survey questionnaires. Drawing on the media studies tradition devoted to the analysis of the ways in which people use the Internet, the authors argue that the statements posted on a social network, just as the answers to a questionnaire, can be the re…
Just for fun? Alcohol and drugs in youth lifestyles: A Survey
The article presents an analysis of the relationship between young people and alcohol and drug use, examining both their attitudes and behaviors. The analysis is based on statistics collected through a structured-questionnaire survey of 1071 students from the secondary schools of Rome and the Province. The first part of the article examines patterns and levels of alcohol and drug use and typical places of use. The central part is dedicated to the…
Lo studio empirico dell'intervista. Tendenze recenti nel dibattito metodologico
The essay proposes to reconstruct the main orientations of the methodological debate on pre-test questionnaire strategies and on the analysis of interview processes. In particular, the focus is on two techniques that have been recently getting more attention during conventions of international scientific associations: the cognitive interview and the monitoring of the interviews. A restrictive conception of the interviewer emerges from this recons…
