Article
According to sensorimotor simulation models, recognition of another person's emotion is achieved by recreating the motor production of the perceived facial expression in oneself. Therefore, congenital difficulties in the production of facial expressions may affect emotion processing. The present study assessed a sample (N = 11) of Moebius syndrome...

The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor (hereafter ‘Monitor’) is a monitoring and benchmarking tool first developed in 2017 to allow European cities to compare and contrast their areas of excellence and improvement in terms of culture and creativity. Since its first launch, the Monitor has served as a guidance tool for policy makers at local, nati...

While official statistics indicate a growing interest in online music listening throughout the EU, showing ‘how much’ people use the internet for music, the level of detail of the data provided does not allow to understand ‘how’ Europeans are using the internet to this end. This document aims at exploring just this, by monitoring how Europeans sear...

The Resilience Dashboards are multidimensional monitoring tools which assess the Vulnerabilities and Capacities of the European Union and its Member States on four dimensions: social and economic, green, digital, and geopolitical. The statistical assessment presented herein was performed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre’s Competen...

Researchers are increasingly exploiting web-searches to study phenomena for which timely and high-frequency data are not readily available. We propose a data-driven procedure which, exploiting machine learning techniques, solves the issue of identifying the list of queries linked to the phenomenon of interest, even in a cross-country setting. Queri...

The European Green Deal is the most ambitious and challenging goal set by the European Commission. Aiming to make the European Union, the world’s second-largest economy, climate-neutral by 2050, the European Green Deal will transform EU societies and industries. To support the European Commission in this effort, the JRC created a set of indicators...

According to the models of sensorimotor simulation, we recognize others' emotions by subtly mimicking their expressions, which allows us to feel the corresponding emotion via facial feedback. In this contest, facial mimicry, which requires the implicit activation of the motor programs that produce a specific expression, is a crucial phenomenon occu...

In the last decades, policy discussions have increasingly considered participation in arts and cultural activities as a vehicle to reach broader social policy goals, such as social inclusion or active citizenship. However, convincing empirical evidence on the social impacts of arts and culture is still scarce. In particular, little attention has be...

Population aging, which is common in developed countries, highlights issues related to the health and social assistance of frail individuals. The Italian Chronic Disease Program launched by the Ministry of Health proposes the implementation of tools that stratify the population based on health and care needs and enhances the integration of existing...

The aim of this work is to propose a tool for measuring a complex concept, and to apply it to big sets of data measured on ordinal and/or dichotomous scales. An important field of application are subjective data, that are often based on opinions or personal evaluations. Many national and international surveys employ this kind of data, measured amon...

The measure of complex concepts in social science, such as life satisfaction, job quality, or deprivation is a topic still in evolution. In this context, the computation of a synthetic measure is one of the most accepted alternatives, thanks to the readability of the output, especially for inexperienced audiences. This chapter proposes a synthetic...
