Abstract:VALUES PERCEIVED BY ADOLESCENTS AND IDENTIFICATION TELEVISION CHARACTERSThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between 1238 adolescents from a cross-cultural sample encompassing eight different contexts and their favorite television characters, in accordance with the following aspects: identification or degree of empathy and values perceived in them. Our work was based on the idea that the study of identification and values perception in favorite characters would provide us with important information for understanding the effects of the medium on adolescents. The three variables were then analyzed in order to identify any possible relationship which may exist between them. Two measurement instruments were used: the CHTV.02 and the Val. TV 02. The results revealed statistically significant (although moderate) differences in the sample group as a whole. In conclusion, it can be said that the majority of adolescents tend to favor characters who embody prosocial values.Keywords: Adolescence, television, cross-cultural study, favorite characters, empathy, perceived valuesResumen:El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la relación que, 1238 adolescentes de una muestra transcultural, pertenecientes a ocho contextos diferentes, establecen con los personajes favoritos de la televisión atendiendo a la identificación o grado de empatía y los valores que perciben en él. Partimos de la idea básica de que el estudio acerca de la identificación y la percepción de valores en sus personajes favoritos nos proporcionan claves importantes para la comprensión de los efectos del medio sobre los adolescentes. Las dos variables se analizarán buscando una posible relación entre ellas. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos de medida: el CHTV.02 y el Val. TV 02. Los resultados han demostrado que existen diferencias estadísticas significativas en el conjunto de los contextos culturales estudiados; no obstante, son moderadas. En las conclusiones hay que señalar que la mayoría de adolescentes se inclinan por personajes que encarnan valores prosociales.Palabras clave: Adolescencia, televisión, estudio transcultural, personajes favoritos, empatía, valores percibidos.

Despite claims that “cinema is dead” or that it only interests nostalgic old-timers, statistics indicate a global increase in theater attendance. Not only is moviegoing still one of the favorite forms of entertainment, but it especially appeals to young people. Moreover, communication research seems to have neglected cinema, but the relationship between modern-day teenagers and the silver screen needs to be observed. This chapter reports the results of a cross-cultural study based on the uses and gratifications paradigm with youngsters from eight European countries. It presents their cinematographic uses and consumption, their motivations for going to the movies, and their preferences and conceptions regarding different movie traditions. The study also performs cross-cultural contrasts to reveal more about the impact of regional, national, and global forces on the psychological relationship between today’s teenagers and cinema.

Previous studies considered entrepreneurial orientation as a determinant of firms’ growth and performance. In this research, we are interested in spin-offs. Indeed, we aim to study the relationship between their entrepreneurial orientation and their performance. Therefore, we carried out a cross-cultural study in three different countries; Tunisia, Canada, and Morocco. We opted for a personal survey. We addressed our questionnaire to 180 managers of spin-offs and we analyzed the research variables using SPSS 20.00 (Statistical Packages for Social Sciences) and Smart PLS 3 (Partial Least Squares). Our findings highlight a positive correlation between entrepreneurial orientation and performance of spin-offs within the three samples.

The relationship between professional and natural helpers was the subject of similar studies in Iowa and in Ireland and the United Kingdom. As a result, several clusters of natural helpers were identified and a model for professional-natural helper cooperation was developed.

Previous studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in different countries found an increase in anxiety, stress, and an exacerbation of previous mental health problems. This research investigated some of the protective and risk factors of distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, among which were the perception of receiving social support from family members and friends, and a chronic tendency to worry. The study was conducted in three European countries: Italy, Serbia, and Romania. A total of 1100 participants (Italy n = 491; Serbia n = 297; Romania n = 312) responded to a questionnaire. Results from this study show that distress during the COVID-19 pandemic is higher for people who are chronic worriers and those who have higher levels of fear of COVID-19. More specifically, it is confirmed that a chronic tendency to worry exacerbates the relationship between fear and distress: it is stronger for people who have a greater tendency to worry.
