Conference Paper
Full-text available
The self is a pervasive aspect of human experience, influencing crucial areas like mental health and manifesting in the texts we produce. Previous research indicates a significant correlation between the use of self-related expressions-terms and linguistic structures individuals use to refer to themselves, such as first-person pronouns-and various...

This paper presents a split of a Slovenian news corpus based on the readers' political leaning. By combining Slovenian news data with a large survey giving data on media consumption and self-reported political orientation, we create sub-corpora of news outlets consumed by left-, centre, and right-leaning readers and use it to build a political orie...

Social biases are biases toward specific social groups, often accompanied by discriminatory behavior. They are reflected and perpetuated through language and language models. In this study, we consider two language models (RoBERTa, in English; and UmBERTo, in Italian), and investigate and compare the presence of social biases in each one. Masking t...

This paper presents our ensembling solutions for detecting signs of depression in social media text, as part of the Shared Task at LT-EDI@RANLP 2023. By leveraging social media posts in English, the task involves the development of a system to accurately classify them as presenting signs of depression of one of three levels: “severe”, “moderate”, a...

Automatic term extraction (ATE) is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) task that eases the effort of manually identifying terms from domain-specific corpora by providing a list of candidate terms. As units of knowledge in a specific field of expertise, extracted terms are not only beneficial for several terminographical tasks, but also support and...

In cognitive science, it is unclear what precisely presence (both in the sense of objecthood and immersion) refers to in lived experience. The present study addresses the research question of what the relationship between presence is and lived space. A hundred and seventeen phenomenological interviews were conducted with 14 participants. We sampled...
Thesis
Full-text available
Dissolution experiences (DEs) are experiential episodes during which the perceived boundaries between self and world (i.e., nonself) become fainter or less clear. This is usually accompanied by a sense of unity with the world or elements of it. Experiences matching the definition of DEs are reported in different strands of literature, both academic...
Preprint
Philosophical and qualitative studies of presence emphasize its spatial nature. The aim of this study is to investigate lived space – that is, space as it appears in experience – in alterations of presence. A transdiagnostic approach was undertaken. Rather than focusing on a single type of alteration, a variety of different contexts are considered...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The process of change is universally referred to when explaining the human psyche in the domain of attitude and behavior change. However, change is either presumed to simply exist without further elaboration, or it is reduced to neurobiological processes. While there is a substantial effort to detect, forecast and induce change, especially in the m...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
We report on an exploratory empirical phenomenological study investigating the so-called dissolution experiences (DEs), characterized by the subject experiencing a) a dissolution of her psychological or sensory boundaries and/or a fading of the sense of the self as a separate entity, and/or b) a feeling of unity or identification with (elements of)...

Emotion regulation refers to the ability of effectively responding to emotions, shaping the expression and experience of those emotions. This project investigates the effects that the way people look at art could have on this process. It is hypothesized that focusing on the positive aspects of negative art leads to be able to better deal with emoti...
