Resumo: O atendimento psicológico clínico por muito tempo foi considerado privilégio das classes elitistas, e essa resistência ainda permeia em nossa sociedade, buscou-se então analisar o valor social no atendimento psicológico clínico, principalmente na visão de acadêmicos ou recém-formados do curso de psicologia, verificando o que compreendiam por valor social na psicoterapia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva e a coleta de dados se deu por um questionário online pelo Google Forms, havendo 4 itens fechados e 7 itens abertos, tendo participação de 52 respondentes, e o método para análise dos dados foi por meio da estatística descritiva dos itens de caracterização e análise de similitude dos itens da associação livre, utilizando o software IrAmUteQ. Nos itens abertos, também foi realizado análise de conteúdo, entendendo o contexto do sentido das afirmações. Como resultados é possível destacar que o atendimento à valor social é importante, ponto de favorabilidade apresentado por 73,1% dos participantes, mas que essa prática pode ser uma desvalorização da profissão, visto que existe um alto investimento de tempo e valor, ponto de desfavorabilidade apresentado por 23,1% dos participantes e isso pode implicar em um exercício limitado que merece ser repensado pelos profissionais da psicologia. Palavras chaves: Valor Social; Psicologia; Atendimento Psicológico Clínico; Sociedade. Abstract: Clinical psychological care has long been considered a privilege of elitist classes, and this resistance still permeates our society, so we sought to analyze the social value in clinical psychological care, especially in the view of academics or recent graduates of the psychology course, verifying what they understood by social value in psychotherapy. This is a descriptive exploratory research and data collection was done through an online questionnaire through Google Forms, with 4 closed items and 7 open items, with the participation of 52 respondents, and the method for data analysis was through statistics descriptive of the characterization items and similarity analysis of the items of the free association, using the IrAmUteQ software. In the open items, content analysis was also carried out, understanding the context of the meaning of the statements. As a result, it is possible to highlight that meeting social value is important, a point of favorability presented by 73.1% of the participants, but that this practice can be a devaluation of the profession, since there is a high investment of time and value, unfavorability presented by 23.1% of the participants and this may imply a limited exercise that deserves to be rethought by professionals in psychology. Keywords: Social Value; Psychology; Clinical Psychological Care; Society.

Objetivo: Identificar la percepción que tienen los adolescentes sobre el uso de las redes sociales y la influencia en la salud mental. Método: Investigación descriptiva-exploratoria con abordaje cuantitativo y cualitativo, realizada con adolescentes de entre diez y diecinueve años que son usuarios de las redes sociales. La muestra estuvo formada por 71 participantes seleccionados mediante la técnica de bola de nieve. El instrumento utilizado para llevar a cabo la recolección de datos fue el cuestionario online, desarrollado por los investigadores por medio de la herramienta Google Forms, y difundido a través de las redes sociales. Los datos fueron tabulados y presentados en gráficos y tablas, a través de estadísticas simples y discusión basada en literatura científica. Resultados: En cuanto al uso de redes sociales, el 100% de los encuestados respondió que las usaba con frecuencia, 27% dijo formar parte de 3 redes sociales, siendo WhatsApp e Instagram las más utilizadas, con 27% cada una. En cuanto a los riesgos de su uso, 34% de los participantes manifestó que se trataba de la divulgación de datos personales. El principal sentimiento que manifestaron en las redes fue el de vergüenza (27%); las contribuciones de las redes sociales son estudios/actualizaciones (29,5%); las consecuencias para la salud mental resultantes del uso fueron la invasión de la privacidad/divulgación de datos (20,5%) y la adicción (19,3%). Conclusión: El uso de las redes es cada vez mayor y provoca el surgimiento de nuevas formas de enfermedad, principalmente mentales, por lo tanto, es necesario que los profesionales de la salud aborden esta problemática para intervenir de forma efectiva. Objective: To identify the adolescents' perception about the use of social networks and the influence on mental health. Method: This is a descriptive-exploratory research study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, carried out with adolescents aged between ten and nineteen years old who are users of social networks. The sample consisted of 71 participants recruited using the snowball technique. The instrument used to carry out data collection was the online questionnaire, elaborated by the researchers and developed through the Google Forms tool, and disseminated through social networks, being subsequently tabulated and presented in graphs and tables, through simple statistics and discussion based on the scientific literature. Results: Regarding the use of social networks, 100% of those surveyed stated using them frequently, 27% said that they participated in 3 social networks, with WhatsApp and Instagram being the most used, with a total of 27% each. Regarding the risks of their use, 34% of the participants stated that it was disclosure of personal data. The main feeling they felt in the networks was that of embarrassment (27%); the contributions of the social networks are related to studies/updates (29.5%); and the consequences for mental health resulting from use were invasion of privacy/disclosure of data (20.5%) and addiction (19.3%). Conclusion: The use of networks is growing and causes new forms of illness to arise, mainly of a mental nature, requiring the health professional to approach this problem in order to intervene effectively.

The present research examines the social value attributed to endorsing the belief in a just world for self (BJW-S) and for others (BJW-O) in a Western society. We conducted four studies in which we asked participants to assess a target who endorsed BJW-S vs. BJW-O either strongly or weakly. Results showed that endorsement of BJW-S was socially valued and had a greater effect on social utility judgments than it did on social desirability judgments. In contrast, the main effect of endorsement of BJW-O was to reduce the target’s social desirability. The results also showed that the effect of BJW-S on social utility is mediated by the target’s perceived individualism, whereas the effect of BJW-S and BJW-O on social desirability is mediated by the target’s perceived collectivism.

This article begins with a parody, a fictitious set of regulations for the production of “traditional” Italian polenta. Through analysis of primary and secondary historical sources we then discuss the various meanings of which polenta has been the bearer through time and space in order to emphasize the mutability of the modes of preparation, ingredients, and the social value of traditional food products. Finally, we situate polenta within its broader cultural, political, and economic contexts, underlining the uses and abuses of rendering foods as traditional—a process always incomplete, often contested, never organic. In stirring up the past and present of polenta and placing it within both the projects of Italian identity creation and the broader scholarly literature on culinary tradition and taste, we emphasize that for so-called traditional foods to be saved, they must be continually reinvented.

We consider cross-space consumption as a form of transnational practice among international migrants. In this paper, we develop the idea of the social value of consumption and use it to explain this particular form of transnationalism. We consider the act of consumption to have not only functional value that satisfies material needs but also a set of nonfunctional values, social value included, that confer symbolic meanings and social status. We argue that cross-space consumption enables international migrants to take advantage of differences in economic development, currency exchange rates, and social structures between countries of destination and origin to maximize their expression of social status and to perform or regain social status. Drawing on a multisited ethnographic study of consumption patterns in migrant hometowns in Fuzhou, China, and in-depth interviews with undocumented Chinese immigrants in New York and their left-behind family members, we find that, despite the vulnerabilities and precarious circumstances associated with the lack of citizenship rights in the host society, undocumented immigrants manage to realize the social value of consumption across national borders and do so through conspicuous consumption, reciprocal consumption, and vicarious consumption in their hometowns even without being physically present there. We conclude that, while cross-space consumption benefits individual migrants, left-behind families, and their hometowns, it serves to revive tradition in ways that fuel extravagant rituals, drive up costs of living, reinforce existing social inequality, and create pressure for continual emigration.

In this paper, we examine the concept of the social balance sheet (SBS) and its evolution in corporate social reports that large companies have to issue today in their yearly statements. The SBS allows companies to evaluate their compliance with corporate social responsibility during a specific period and quantify its level of accomplishment. From a methodological perspective, this research analyzed the information that should be contained in the SBS report comparing economic value added (EVA) with other social value added statements (SVA), analyzing also in detail the case of Spain’s Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) bank as one of the pioneers in offering social reports. Along with this study, their metrics following EVA were recalculated and a more academic SVA statement was proposed for this specific case.

In responsible management, managerial efficiency and sustainable development meet and influence each other. In order to give meaning to their organisation, to respect and look after their collaborators, a manager must promote a set of values on a personal, organisational and societal level. The purpose of this paper is to study the social value attributed to responsible management by students of a technical university. We have therefore undertaken to study a set of seven values attributed to responsible management and, more precisely, their utility and social desirability on a personal, organisational and societal level. The values have been operationalized with personality descriptors. The 60 participants in this study are students from a Romanian technical university. They had to assess, on four scales of seven points each (two for desirability and two for social utility), the value of a person characterised by one of the seven values attributed to responsible management. The results show us that efficiency is the value perceived by the students as being the most desirable for responsible management, and that in terms of social utility, agility is the most appreciated value. We found that there is indeed an effect of the context in which these values are perceived. Efficiency, audacity, dedication and integrity are perceived as more useful at an organisational level, while solidarity was perceived as more useful on a societal level. At the organisational level we also found a gender effect, in the sense that women appreciate people who are efficient, have integrity or are humble more than men do.

A growing interest in Socially Assistive Robotics in Physical Rehabilitation is currently observed; some of the benefits highlight the capability of a social robot to support and assist rehabilitation procedures. This paper presents a perception study that aimed to evaluate clinicians’ and patients’ perception of a social robot that will be integrated as part of Lokomat therapy. A total of 88 participants were surveyed, employing an online questionnaire based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The participants belong to two health care institutions located in different countries (Colombia and Spain). The results showed an overall positive perception of the social robot (>60% of participants have a positive acceptance). Furthermore, a difference depending on the nature of the user (clinician vs. patient) was found.

This paper provides a deeper knowledge of the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) in the Spanish footwear industry, under an exploratory research which has been conducted with a final sample of seven firms. An online questionnaire was developed, supported by phone calls and a personal interview. An 18–24-month-period has been found to be enough to develop solid foundations for a BSC. Financial and non-financial measures are presented in the whole firms and in the majority of the four perspectives, linked by cause-and-effect relationships, showing a high development in the BSC implementation. BSCs with a high grade of development are more likely to identify their intangibles as well as include them in the firm’s strategy. A personal BSC has been identified as a limitation. Although the strategy is spread out with meetings in the whole firms, it is not known at all levels, showing a gap to be fulfilled. Strategy maps are key in BCS implementation: they are present in the majority of the firms and show that the performance drivers reach the strategy. Firms with a high grade of development and expectation, using both financial and non-financial measures linked by cause-and-effect relationships, are more likely to define sustainable measures, integrating them in their own BSC.

Exploring ways in which new technology impacts adolescents’ information behaviours and creates a social space requires holistic investigation. A qualitative study of 21 seniors in an upper-middle-class suburban high school revealed highly individualized use of Facebook and its features. These included: (i) Friends groups of 50—3700 members, with even the largest groups representative primarily of face-to-face connections, and (ii) a clear articulation within those groups of various categories, each with its own distinct communicative channel and style. A meaningful connection was found between the social value of various social network (SN)-mediated relationships and the communicative modes used to maintain and enhance them. Through a comprehensive literature review and clearly grounded analysis of rich data, this work supports the contention that adolescent social groups in which SNs are embedded form a distinct domain, and establishes a rationale for further investigation of adolescents’ contextualized use of SNs within social relationships.
