Motivation and Academic Success in Tertiary Education
The motivations that push young people to enrol in tertiary education have been long analysed, and many studies have tested the association between motivations and academic success. The paper aimed to systematically review these studies and summarise their findings regarding (1) how motivation is conceptualised, (2) how academic success is measured, and (3) the association between motivation and academic success. We selected 13 studies. The compa…
Through the Lens of the Press
The growing number of older adults in our societies has not been matched by balanced representation in the press, which tends to portray older people stereotypically. This study used computational methods to analyze the representation of older people in a large corpus of articles from a sample of major Italian newspapers between 2017 and 2024. The results suggest that, although the range of topics associated with older people has increased compar…
Gender and academic intentions
Despite women being frequently overrepresented in higher education, their presence across various disciplines is not balanced. They are particularly overrepresented in the humanities and underrepresented in scientific courses. The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of several factors in explaining the gender gap in major intentions in these two domains, including gender-science stereotypes, self-concept, and agentic and communal goa…
Online Sex Work and Subscription-Based Digital Platforms
The rise of adult content creation platforms is triggering a deep revision of the social acceptability of new habits and the relations between the human body and marketing practices. However, academic research on this phenomenon is still scarce. This scoping review aimed to summarize and discuss the studies about content creators sharing adult content on subscription-based digital platforms. Based on the protocol established a priori, we selected…
Flexibility as a justice fix? A systematic review of demand-side response implications for energy-vulnerable households
Demand-Side Response (DSR) programmes reshape how energy is consumed at the residential level to ease pressure on the electricity grid by encouraging more responsive consumption patterns. Although often presented as a neutral optimisation mechanism, DSR can have differentiated impacts across social groups. This systematic review synthesised empirical evidence from 66 articles on the association between DSR and energy vulnerability. Using a vulner…
Gender-essentialist beliefs and the gender gap in STEM
Horizontal gender segregation persists and is higher in more developed countries (gender-equality paradox). According to the theory of gender essentialism, more developed countries are characterized by more individualism, which in turn pushes individuals to rely more on personal characteristics when deciding about their future careers. The presence of both essentialist beliefs on gender and the endorsement of the stereotypical beliefs that math a…
On the association between gender-science stereotypes’ endorsement and gender bias attribution
The existence and persistence of stereotypes on gender and science, as well as their influence on attitudes and behaviors, have been largely studied worldwide. Current measures of gender-science stereotypes are mainly descriptive and do not ask respondents their opinions about the perceived cause(s) of these gender differences. However, empirical evidence suggests that gender bias attribution, i.e., the difference in the causes to which gender di…
Gender stereotypes and empowerment of women in energy cooperatives
Energy cooperatives are witnessing substantial growth across the European Union. However, despite the desire to be inclusive and to foster diversity, the representation of women in energy cooperatives is still limited. The study aimed to verify the strength of the endorsement of gender stereotypes within energy cooperatives and, in the case of women, the factors stereotypes are associated to. Data were collected in two cooperatives, ènostra in It…
The conundrum of gender-science stereotypes
Stereotypes do not have a unique definition, being mostly considered a generalized belief on the quality and characteristics of members of specific groups or social categories. Hence, various scales and measurements have been proposed to assess the endorsement of beliefs on the association of gender and scientific/language-related skills. The aim of the paper was to summarize, compare and discuss those measures, distinguishing between explicit, i…
Discrimination in grading
Gender bias in the classroom
Parents and teachers’ compensatory strategies during Covid-19 school closures
After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries decided to close schools in 2020 to slow down the spread of the virus. The abrupt closure of schools required teachers and families to adapt quickly to an online setting for school activities. The literature review presented here focuses on this adaptive process, summarising research on how parents and teachers tried to curtail the potentially detrimental effects of school closure and re…
Implicit gender-science stereotypes and college-major intentions of italian adolescents
Gender stereotypes are often viewed as one of the root causes of the gender gap in STEM. According to Eccles’ model, they would indirectly influence major choices by shaping expectations of success and values attached to the viable options. However, empirical findings on the link between implicit gender-science stereotypes and college major intentions are limited. To fill this gap, the current study examines this association in a mixed-gender sam…
