Ítem Designations and consumer perceptions: An experimental study and implications for agricultural policy(Emerald, 2015-03-02) Marano-Marcolini, Carla; Parras-Rosa, Manuel; López-Zafra, EstherPurpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the labeling and denominations of olive oils and to examine to what extent these factors confuse consumers. Specifically, the authors analyze the extent to which the different denominations of olive oil prevent consumers from distinguishing among the types of olive oil. Furthermore, the authors analyze whether the current generic names of olive oil affect consumer perceptions regarding the product’s various qualities and characteristics. Design/methodology/approach The authors performed an experiment with 128 participants divided into two groups (experimental n=64 and control n=64). In the pretest, participants completed a survey with 12 terms related to olive oil. The experimental group was then trained in the meaning of each term, after which the group returned to complete the same survey. Findings The authors can confirm H1 and H2. Results show that there is no clear knowledge regarding some of these terms. Social implications This study provides positive implications to both consumers, providing them a clear information, and producers and marketers, helping distinguish in the market olive oils of more quality. Originality/value This paper is pioneer in the literature. The authors provide a number of proposals and amendments regarding olive oil names to improve the knowledge and clarity of olive oil with direct implications for agricultural policy.Ítem Does transformational leadership predict group emotional intelligence in work settings? / ¿Es el liderazgo transformacional un predictor de la inteligencia emocional grupal en los contextos laborales?(Taylor & Francis, 2017) López-Zafra, Esther; Pulido-Martos, Manuel; Berrios-Martos, María Pilar; Augusto-Landa, José MaríaContagion of emotions is a widely accepted characteristic of transformational leaders. However, the impact they may have on the Emotional Intelligence of their subordinates is an open question. In this paper, we analyse whether Transformational Leadership (LTF) perceptions influence the Emotional Intelligence of their groups (GEI). This is a novel approach within the actual interest on emotional intelligence and its role in group results. The participants were 272 subordinates from 52 groups that belonged to different private and public organizations in Spain. They completed a questionnaire including the variables of interest. Our study helps to clarify the relations between TFL perceptions and GEI, showing that TFL and GEI relate at the group level and that TFL is one of the predictors of the perception of GEI in work settings. Thus, the development of emotionally competent transformational leaders will produce emotionally competent groups that might increase their performance, efficiency and other processes (i.e., engagement).Ítem In search of a consumer-focused food classification system. An experimental heuristic approach to differentiate degrees of quality(Elsevier, 2018-06-01) Torres-Ruiz, Francisco J.; Marano-Marcolini, Carla; López-Zafra, EstherThe present paper focuses on the problems that arise in food classification systems (FCSs), especially when the food product type has different levels or grades of quality. Despite the principal function of these systems being to assist the consumer (to inform, clarify and facilitate choice and purchase), they frequently have the opposite effect. Thus, the main aim of the present research involves providing orientations for the design of effective food classification systems. To address this objective, considering the context of food product consumption (related to heuristic processing), we conducted an experimental study with 720 participants. We analysed the usefulness of heuristic elements by a factorial 2 (category length: short and long) × 3 (visual signs: colours, numbers and images) design in relation to recall and recognition activities. The results showed that the elements used to make the classification more effective for consumers vary depending on whether the user seeks to prioritize the recall or the recognition of product categories. Thus, long categories with images significantly improve recognition, and short categories with colours improve recall. A series of recommendations are provided that can help to enhance FCSs and to make them more intuitive and easier to understand for consumers. Implications with regard to theory and practice are discussed.Ítem Liderazgo religioso: el liderazgo sobresaliente de Nazaria Ignacia March(Jaén : Universidad de Jaén, 2012) Jiménez-Hernández, María-del-Rocío; López-Zafra, Esther; Universidad de Jaén.

Departamento de PsicologíaLa tesis presentada tiene como objetivo principal analizar la tipología y los factores psicosociales clave en la violencia psicológica offline y online en las relaciones de pareja entre adolescentes y jóvenes. Para ello se han llevado a cabo 6 estudios, en los que los resultados muestran la elevada prevalencia de esta violencia de forma bidireccional en adolescentes y jóvenes, especialmente en el plano offline. Además, se comprueba el impacto que tienen los mitos del amor en sus comentarios para justificar la violencia presente en la relación, observándose una baja percepción de esta violencia. Muestra cómo los factores individuales y socioculturales están interrelacionados y la importancia de analizar las características de ambos miembros de la pareja para una mejor comprensión de este fenómeno. En conclusión, es necesario continuar profundizando en la violencia psicológica y su percepción, para contar con herramientas eficaces que permitan a los jóvenes establecer relaciones de pareja saludables The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the typology and key psychosocial factors involved in offline and online psychological violence in intimate partner relationships among adolescents and young adults. To achieve this, six studies were conducted, revealing a high prevalence of bidirectional violence in adolescents and young adults, particularly in offline contexts. Furthermore, the research confirms the influence of love myths on their attitudes, often used to justify the violence present in the relationship, while revealing a low perception of such violence. The findings illustrate how individual and sociocultural factors are interrelated and emphasize the importance of analyzing the characteristics of both partners for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. In conclusion, the study advocates for continued research into psychological violence and its perception to develop effective tools that empower young people to establish healthy relationships.
