معرفی
Gabriele Di Cicco serves as a Researcher at the Institute of Psychology within the Faculty of Philosophy at Jagiellonian University. His academic focus bridges political science and psychology through rigorous analysis of contemporary socio-political phenomena.
His research specialization encompasses:
- Radicalization processes using the 3N model framework
- Populist attitude formation mediated by cognitive closure needs
- Conspiracy belief systems and political engagement pathways
- Psycho-linguistic analysis of social media discourse (particularly Facebook and Twitter)
- Significance loss mechanisms in extreme ideologies
- Epistemic and significance motivational pathways in political behavior
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals methodological sophistication through text-mining systematic reviews and large-scale social media data analysis. His work consistently examines Italian political contexts, with particular attention to leaders like Di Maio and Salvini. A distinctive pattern connects societal threats (pandemics, war) to populist sentiment through cognitive and motivational mediators, while his linguistic analyses uncover gendered biases and ideological framing in online political discourse.
