Travellers' Types

This paper uses subjects’ self-reported justifications to explain discrepancies between observed heterogeneous behavior and the unique equilibrium prediction in a one-shot traveler’s dilemma experiment (TD). Principal components (PC) analysis suggests that iterative reasoning, aspiration levels, competitive behavior, attitudes towards risk and penalties and focal points may be behind different choices. Such reasons are coherent with same subjects’ behavior in other tests and experiments in which these particular issues are prominent. Overall, we identify types of subjects whose motivations are consistent across tasks.

Colaboración fabricante-distribuidor en la era del shopper marketing con la gestión por categorías como eje estratégico de actuación

A lo largo de este trabajo fin de grado se lleva a cabo una investigación sobre la actual situación de la colaboración entre fabricantes y distribuidores, con especial interés en el área de la demanda de la cadena de suministro, área más desconocida y con amplio campo de conocimiento aún por descubrir. Comenzamos analizando el estado actual de los estudios realizados en materia de colaboración en la cadena de suministro, fruto de una extensa revisión bibliográfica. Analizadas las propuestas teóricas nos situamos en la praxis empresarial recogiendo un par de casos de experiencias prácticas desarrolladas por fabricantes y distribuidores, en sintonía con los planteamientos más avanzados de colaboración y divulgadas como mejores prácticas de colaboración. Finalmente, y como aportación original de este trabajo, se lleva a cabo una propuesta de colaboración para un fabricante de productos ecológicos y un distribuidor de los mismos de nuestro entorno local, con el fin de mejorar la rentabilidad de ambos y añadir valor para el cliente final, fin último de toda propuesta de Shopper Marketing.

Impact of Cyberprogram 2.0 on Different Types of School Violence and Aggressiveness

Some antibullying interventions have shown positive outcomes with regard to reducing violence. The aim of the study was to experimentally assess the effects on school violence and aggressiveness of a program to prevent and reduce cyberbullying. The sample was comprised of a randomly selected sample of 176 adolescents (93 experimental, 83 control), aged 13-15 years. The study used a repeated measures pre-posttest design with a control group. Before and after the program, two assessment instruments were administered: the "Cuestionario de Violencia Escolar-Revisado" (CUVE-R [School Violence Questionnaire- Revised]; Alvarez Garcia et al., 2011) and the "Cuestionario de agresividad premeditada e impulsiva" (CAPI-A [Premeditated and Impulsive Aggressiveness Questionnaire]; Andreu, 2010). The intervention consisted of 19 one-hour sessions carried out during the school term. The program contains 25 activities with the following objectives: (1) to identify and conceptualize bullying/cyberbullying; (2) to analyze the consequences of bullying/cyberbullying, promoting participants' capacity to report such actions when they are discovered; (3) to develop coping strategies to prevent and reduce bullying/cyberbullying; and (4) to achieve other transversal goals, such as developing positive variables (empathy, active listening, social skills, constructive conflict resolution, etc.). The pre-posttest ANCOVAs confirmed that the program stimulated a decrease in: (1) diverse types of school violence teachers' violence toward students (ridiculing or publicly humiliating students in front of the class, etc.); students' physical violence (fights, blows, shoves... aimed at the victim, or at his or her property, etc.); students' verbal violence (using offensive language, cruel, embarrassing, or insulting words... toward classmates and teachers); social exclusion (rejection or exclusion of a person or group, etc.), and violence through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT; violent behaviors by means of electronic instruments such as mobile phones and the Internet); and (2) premeditated and impulsive aggressiveness. Pre-posttest MANCOVA revealed differences between conditions with a medium effect size. This work contributes an efficacious intervention tool for the prevention and reduction of peer violence. The conclusions drawn from this study have interesting implications for educational and clinical intervention.
