Personal identity. A theoretical and experimental analysis

Published as article in: Journal of Economic Methodology, 2010, vol. 17, issue 3, pages 261-275.This paper aims to analize the role of personal identity in altruism. To this end, it starts by reviewing critically the growing literature on economics and identity. Considering the ambiguities that the concept of social identity poses, our proposal focuses on the concept of personal identity. A formal model to study how personal identity enters in individuals' utility function when facing a Dictator Game decision is then presented. Finally, this 'identity-based' utility function is studied experimentally. The experiment allows us to study the main parameters of the model, suggesting that we should move with caution when attributing identities to individuals.The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support received from the Centro de Estudios Andaluces (S0CH2.05/43) and MCI (SEJ2007-06309/ECO and SEJ2006-00959/SOCI)

Barcelona Virtual Mobility Lab: the multimodal transport simulation testbed for emerging mobility concepts evaluation

New sustainable mobility concepts and smart resilient ideas are arising every day. However, there is not an easy way to bring these ideas into reality, or to test how good they are as mobility solutions. Virtual Mobility Lab offers the opportunity to evaluate the impact of new mobility concepts before taking them to the real world. In this work, a multimodal macroscopic traffic simulation model of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area is developed, including both public and private transport network. This paper explains the remarkable features developed for this model, such as the network hierarchy and the multimodal public network interchangers, allowing demand to exchange between public transportation modes along their origin-destination paths.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Evaluación del sexismo ambivalente en las y los profesionales de la red de salud mental de Andalucía. Resultados preliminares

Una línea de investigación clave actualmente en Psicología es el estudio del constructo sexismo que aparece relacionado con factores de riesgo psicosocial y de salud en población femenina general. El objetivo de nuestra investigación se dirige al análisis del sexismo ambivalente (hostil y benévolo) en profesionales de salud mental pública de Andalucía mediante un estudio correlacional en una muestra de 945 profesionales, analizando la relación entre sexismo ambivalente y algunas características sociodemográficas, laborales y profesionales. Los resultados mostraron puntuaciones bastantes bajas en sexismo (inferiores a las encontradas en otros estudios) así como diferencias de género significativas tanto en sexismo hostil como benévolo, siendo más sexistas los hombres. De todas las profesiones de la red de salud mental, la Psicología Clínica se mostró como la menos sexista. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en sexismo en función del Modelo Teórico, salvo en quienes usaron Perspectiva de Género, que aparecieron como menos sexistas. Se encontró que a mayor sexismo menor detección de problemas relacionados con la desigualdad de género en la consulta, pero no se encontró relación entre sexismo y formación recibida en Perspectiva de Género.A currently very important line of research in psychology is about Ambivalent Sexism (that has two sub-components: hostile sexism –SH- and benevolent sexism –SB-). This construct appears related to health and psychosocial risk factors in the general female population. This research aims to investigate the relationship between the ambivalent sexism and some features of the professionals of mental health in Andalusia. Using a correlational methodology, we examined the relationship between sexism and some socio-demographic and labor characteristics of 415 professionals working in public mental health services in Andalusia. The results showed that scores in both types of sexism were quite low (less than those found in other studies), and significant differences were found between men and women in sexism (men scored higher on both types of sexism). Of all the network of mental health professions, clinical psychology seems the less sexist. No significant differences were found in sexism depending on the theoretical model (c-behavioural, psychoanalysis, systemic…), except with those who adopted a gender perspective, which appeared as less sexist. Finally, sexism was negatively related to the detection of problems associated with gender in the consultation, but not with training in gender issues

Elaboration of a teaching program in development cooperation in the University of Alcalá

COOPUAH, a group of teachers and researchers of the University of Alcalá (UAH), who belong to different disciplines, consider that the training offered to students in Development Cooperation by their institution has some deficiencies. The group pursues the general objective of reflecting about and evaluating in particular how this field is included in the university curricula in order to propose a teaching program that could fill the that gap. The main results highlight that the current teaching offer is insufficient, it comes from the environmental and health sciences fields, and in organizational level, is concentrated in the 2nd semester. We therefore believe that we need a multidisciplinary work to expand this teaching offer, redistribute it both semesters, and to offer a program addressed to all students of the University of Alcalá and recognized officially by the institutio

The role of genetic variability in the GABRA6, 5-HTT and BDNF genes in anxiety-related traits

Objective:  The aims of this study were to test the individual association of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4), the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF) and the GABAAα6 receptor subunit gene (GABRA6) with anxiety-related traits and to explore putative gene-gene interactions in a Spanish healthy sample. Method:  A sample of 937 individuals from the general population completed the Temperament and Character Inventory questionnaire to explore Harm Avoidance (HA) dimension; a subsample of 553 individuals also filled in the Big Five Questionnaire to explore the Neuroticism dimension. The whole sample was genotyped for the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism (SLC6A4 gene), the Val66Met polymorphism (BDNF gene) and the T1521C polymorphism (GABRA6 gene). Results:  Homozygous individuals for the T allele of the T1512C polymorphism presented slightly higher scores for HA than C allele carriers (F = 2.96, P = 0.019). In addition, there was a significant gene-gene interaction on HA between the 5-HTTLPR and Val66Met polymorphisms (F = 3.4, P = 0.009). Conclusion:  GABRA6 emerges as a candidate gene involved in the variability of HA. The effect of a significant gene-gene interaction between the SLC6A4 and BDNF genes on HA could explain part of the genetic basis underlying anxiety-related traits

The evolution of the zooplankton community in the gulf of Cadiz, SW Iberian Peninsula

The Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) has been conducting a multidisciplinary study of the marine ecosystem in the Gulf of Cadiz (GoC; SW Iberian Peninsula) since 2009 within the frame of the program Time Series of Oceanographic data in the Gulf of Cadiz (STOCA, in Spanish). The program maintains repeated observations along five across-shelf transects: three times a year from 2009 to 2012 and quarterly on hereafter. In this paper we present the temporal evolution of the zooplankton community in the GoC. In particular, we focused on samples from three stations located off the Guadalquivir river mouth: GD1 (20 m depth), GD3 (80 m) and GD6 (450 m). Samples were taken with bongo-40 cm paired zooplankton nets (mesh size 200 mm). Double oblique hauls were conducted from top to bottom or to a maximum depth of 200 m) while the ship was steaming at 2.5 kn. A total of 43 samples per station were included in the analysis. Samples were imaged with ZooScan. Full images were processed with ZooProcess which generated set of associated features measured on each identified object (Gorsky et al, 2010). These objects were sorted following a common taxonomic guide using the web application EcoTaxa (http://ecotaxa.obs-vlfr.fr). As a sanity check, a variable number of aliquots were directly identified by light microscopy. These results permitted the description of the mean and variable components of the plankton community, their seasonal in the context of the thermohaline and transport variability in the 2010s
