“…Overall, in educational contexts, both dimensions of competence and benevolence contribute to students’ assessment of the educational authorities’ trustworthiness [ 24 ] and are vital for number of positive outcomes, e.g., [ 11 , 21 , 40 ]. Trustworthiness is fundamental in regard to the processes required for the healthy functioning of schools and academies, and it predicts students’ engagement [ 21 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. For instance, Mitchell and colleagues [ 42 ] argued that if students believe that they can trust their teachers, they are more actively engaged with instructional goals and more likely to cooperate for cultivating safe schools.…”

“…Participants filled in a written questionnaire including a free-association task, a data collection method commonly used in social sciences, e.g., [30,31]. Participants were instructed to write the first five words or short sentences coming into their minds when prompted by the stimulus word: "a competent lecturer", "a benevolent (well-intentioned) lecturer", "an incompetent lecturer", and "a malevolent (or ill-intentioned) lecturer".…”

Trustworthiness includes at least two dimensions: one dimension captures the authority’s benevolence; the other captures authority’s competence. This qualitative study explores the representation of the two dimensions of authority trustworthiness: competence and benevolence. We collected free-associations about what lecturers’ competence and benevolence actually mean for Italian psychology students (n = 125). The data corpus was content-analyzed. Text units were categorized according to meaning using both a bottom-up strategy, with some categories stemming from the data (inductive reasoning), and a top-down strategy, with some categories following from the analysis of the relevant literature (deductive reasoning). Qualitative content analysis showed that these two dimensions overlapped. Students listed theoretically-defined competence characteristics as indications of both benevolence and competence. The same applied to benevolence. Overall, associations were grouped into two main dimensions: (1) the “can-do” dimension, describing a lecturer’s competence and social skill; (2) the “will-do” dimension, describing a lecturer’s good intentions, integrity, and personal motivation. In conclusion, the two conceptually distinct dimensions of trust are indistinguishable in the students’ words. These preliminary results are in line with scholars debating the multifactorial or mono-factorial nature of trust.

“…According to Moscovici (2001), social representations are related to three basic processes in communication: anchoring, objectification, and naturalization. Anchoring refers to the act by which cultural social representations are used as tools for making sense of social phenomena (Privetti, Melotti, & Bonomo, 2017). Objectification, for its part, conceptualizes the verbal or visual expressions of sense making.…”

This research examines graduating students' conceptions of a good leader and how positive leadership qualities are communicated visually. In order to address this research task, fifteen graduating students in a Finnish upper-secondary vocational college were asked to draw a picture of a good leader and elucidate their drawings verbally. Theoretically, the research draws on the theory of social representations and regards the participants' drawings as reflecting social representations of leadership among graduating students in Finland. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The results show that students regarded a good leader as approachable, caring, supportive, and responsible, as communicated through an either formal or casual but neat physical appearance. This research provides information on graduating students' conceptions of leadership. In addition, it shows the important role leaders' visual nonverbal behavior plays in terms of communicating leadership qualities. The results of this research can provide valuable information for leaders and recruiters on what kinds of assumptions and expectations future employees have of leaders, and what should be taken into consideration when meeting newcomers to the labor market in, for instance, a job interview. In the future, it would be interesting to conduct a similar research with a larger group of

“…The housing and socioeconomic conditions of many Roma 1 communities across the globe can be categorised as substandard (cf. Berescu, 2011 , Bernal, 2005 , Manzoni, 2017 , Pivetti et al, 2017 , Sigona and Vermeersch, 2012 ). However, in recent years Roma have managed to improve their living conditions through their own initiatives ( Creţan and Powell, 2018 , Friberg, 2018 , Tervonen and Enache, 2017 ).…”
