Considerazioni sull'analisi dei dati come fase del processo di ricerca in psicologia Researchers carrying out their inquiries in psychology are usually more attentive to such aspects of research as context (literature, theories, models, etc.), constructs to be measured, tools to be used (if already existing or made ad hoc), hypotheses to be tested and final discussion. They are instead less trained on data analysis. This is seen sometimes as an insurmountable obstacle, sometimes as an automatism that someone else can deal with, better if in the space of half an hour, sometimes as a solution of faults that are unfortunately of the tool, the sample or even the general structure of research. For all these reasons, it is still quite a common practice that a researcher in psychology carries out a research thinking that the data will be analyzed by someone else, more capable and clever. The present paper wants to remind researchers in psychology that data analysis is a stage of their research, in order to let them think about the possibility of carrying it out by themselves, instead of automatically delegating others to do it.

Gli effetti di fiducia e sicurezza nella valutazione di comportamenti positivi e negativi dell'altro The most recent studies about the connection between attachment and relationship style relate that the attachment style and its internal operating model shape not only close relations but all intimate interpersonal relationships. Researchers are agree about what differentiates a relationship from another, regarding the extent to which it becomes predictable on the basis of the attachment style of the subject, and it is the degree of attachment or mutual involvement. In every interpersonal interaction, the internal operating model will be activated in direct proportion to the degree of mutual involvement and to the extent to which a subject is important for the other. I’ll show here the elements that in the relationship determine the de- velopment of trust, the variable that more than any other determines the success of every care relationship.

Il problema dell'assenza di educazione: riflessioni in merito ai principi che ispirano la moderna scienza dell'educazione e alle sue applicazioni The author examines the fundamental concepts about culture and education, beginning from the classic tradition of the European culture. Views of different personalities are thus presented: Wilhelm von Humboldt, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the amazing observations of Friedrich Nietzsche and at last the educational topics by Theodor W. Adorno. The reasoning proposed by the author demonstrates how the contemporary human deny the intrinsic value of culture and education. These fundamental values loose their attractiveness whenever they are perceived as no-profit. The complexity of the educational processes involved in human development is relegated to mere training.

The Evolution of Cooperation, by Axelrod (1984), is a highly influential study that identifies the benefits of cooperative strategies in the iterated prisoner’s dilemma. We argue that the most extensive historical analysis in the book, a study of cooperative behaviour in First World War trenches, is erroneous. Contrary to Axelrod’s claims, the soldiers on the Western Front were not generally in a prisoner’s dilemma (iterated or otherwise), and their cooperative behaviour can be explained much more parsimoniously as immediately reducing their risks. We discuss the political implications of this misapplication of game theory.
