- Mi sono chiesto quali fossero le fonti di un articolo di La Repubblica che parla di over 60 e digitale, ma non citando alcuno studio scientifico. Così ho chiesto a Chatgpt di ✔️ leggere l’articolo ✔️ individuare ogni passaggio in cui si fa riferimento a ricerche/dati ...
- ✔️ trovare le possibili fonti scientifiche originali ✔️ valutare quanto fosse affidabile l’associazione tra ciò che scrive la giornalista e gli studi trovati. 📌 Risultato? Diverse affermazioni si basano su studi specifici che l'AI è riuscita ad individuare ...
- altre invece sono più generiche o difficili da verificare. In ogni caso, mi è sembrato un esercizio utile per individuare le affermazioni che più probabilmente si basano su ricerche specifiche 💡 La trasparenza sulle fonti dovrebbe essere la regola, anche nel giornalismo! ...

- New paper out 🎓: Personality Traits and Provision of Grandparental Childcare: Evidence from Europe (w/ @valeriabordone.bsky.social, Giorgio Di Gessa & @mdkraemer.bsky.social Using data from @share-eric.bsky.social, we find personality matters for grandhild care provision doi.org/10.1080/1535...
- Results in brief: Personality matters. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion & agreeableness → higher likelihood of grandchild care provision conscientiousness (and mildly neuroticism) → higher likelihood of weekly care. Data: SHARE waves 7–8, 27 European countries
- Takeaway: Beyond socio-demographic factors, personality influences grandparental childcare Methodological implication: account for personality in studies on determinants or effects of grandchild care Fixed-effect model may (partially) account for personality given its stability
