Towards glass ceiling
Purpose Women in managerial roles are targets of negative evaluation and opposition. This research investigated the direct and indirect effects of need for cognitive closure (NCC; i.e. the need to maintain the stability of knowledge) on negative attitudes against women as leaders via the unexplored sequential mediating role of binding moral foundations (i.e. group-protecting moral concerns) and gender essentialist beliefs (i.e. the belief that wo…
Motivations for Plant-Based Diets
The paper describes two studies aimed at validating the Italian version of the Vegetarian Eating Motives Inventory (VEMI; Hopwood et al. PLoS One 55:e0230609, 2020), and to deepen the relationships between vegetarian motives (i.e., animal rights, environmental and health motives) and some variables scarcely considered in previous research: meat, fruit and vegetable consumption, intention to restrict meat consumption, healthy eating, pro-environme…
Use of refillable bottles by Italian students and non-student adults
This study investigated the psychosocial determinants of using refillable bottles for Italian students and non-student adults. It tested the theory of planned behavior (TPB), integrated with past behavior and self-identity as a person who uses refillable bottles. So far, few studies exist on this specific behavior, which may have a relevant impact on plastic waste reduction and sustainability issues. The study adopted a two-wave prospective onlin…
Participant Experiences with Human Biomonitoring in Communities Affected by Chronic PFAS Environmental Contamination in the Veneto Region (Italy)
This exploratory study investigated how health concerns related to chronic environmental contamination and how satisfaction with the human biomonitoring (HBM) process influence the perceived quality of life in the context of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in the Veneto Region (Italy). We administered a questionnaire to 84 residents of the Red Area, where PFAS exposure is classified as most severe. The main findings revea…
The Words of Morality
The present study provides an Italian-adapted version of the Moral Foundations Dictionary (MFD) 2.0, namely Italian version of the MFD (it-MFD), for use in the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count software. The MFD 2.0 was translated and adapted from English into Italian following a multistep process. Subsequently, the reviewers compared the output with the original text to identify semantic discrepancies. Independent judges then evaluated the relevance…
Five parameters for studying leadership styles in orchestra conductors
This study aims to investigate leadership in orchestra conducting and interrogate educational principles to improve conducting pedagogy. Effective leadership implies a set of interpersonal, communicational, and emotional skills combined with a high level of expertise, which may enable the leader to not only achieve excellent outcomes but also create a positive and collaborative working climate and vision for the performance. This work demonstrate…
Felt or Thought
The last two decades have seen a mounting fascination with unethical and destructive forms of leadership. Yet, do we know what all encapsulates this “dark” side of leadership? Despite initial evidence that exploitation is a notable addition to the unethical leadership scene, our understanding of its distinctiveness as well as of how and why it exerts its negative effects is limited. We speak to this gap by testing the distinct mechanisms through …
Predicting Food Waste Avoidance
This research adopted the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to predict intention and behavior to avoid food waste. In a pilot study, behavioral, normative, and control beliefs were identified. In the main study, a TPB model extended with descriptive and moral norms was assessed using a two-wave design and applying SEM. The associations between beliefs and TPB constructs were analyzed by MIMIC models. Attitude, descriptive and moral norms, and perc…
Oral Presentation
Evangelista Purkyn and Frantiek Mare.Psychological topics were also studied in the framework of Pedagogics.After the societal change in 1989, the Department of psychology, the Faculty of Arts, and the Charles University opened to the world and started to develop international relations, including the Erasmus program.All theoretical and applied fields of psychology are fostered at the Department, the research results are published both in books, a…
Sustainable purchase intentions
The fair trade business model represents a strategy to achieve some of the sustainable development goals. The studies reported in this paper examined the intention formation process concerning the purchase of food and non‐food fair trade products. The theoretical framework is the theory of planned behavior (TPB), extended with an additional predictor, the moral norm, and an individual difference variable, the social dominance orientation (SDO). S…
Predicting fruit consumption
Servant leadership in Italy and its relation to organizational variables
This paper aimed to investigate three issues. First, the validation of the multi-dimensional Servant Leadership Survey (SLS) within the Italian context. Second, to enhance insight into the degree of servant leadership behaviour displayed by Italian leaders in organizational settings. Third, to support the fact that in Italy, too, servant leadership is positively correlated to leadership integrity, organizational commitment and organizational citi…
A short version of the Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) Scale
A Contribution to the Validation of the Motivation to Lead Scale (MTL)
The study is a contribution to the validation of the Motivation to Lead Scale (MTL), recently proposed by Chan and Drasgow (2001) in order to reveal three types of motivation to be a leader. Participants are 624 university and post-degree specialization students, both male and female, who answered self-report structured questionnaires. The factorial structure of the MTL Scale was investigated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis a…
