Left-handers associate left with nice, right with ugly

Left-handers tend to associate the left with nice and good things and the right with ugly and bad things, a research has found.

The above conclusion is a part of the many studies compiled by professor Julio Santiago de Torres, from the Department of Experimental Psychology and Behavioural Physiology at the University of Granada, published in Ciencia Cognitiva: Revista Electrónica de Divulgación.

Researcher Daniel Casasanto (Stanford University) found out that left-handers tend to associate the left with nice and good things and the right with ugly and bad things, which goes against the enormous power of cultural context in which they live and the language they use.

In one of his experiments, Casasanto presented participants a diagram that depicts a character who was planning a trip to the zoo, and who loves zebras and thinks they are good, but dislikes pandas and thinks they are bad. The participant had to draw a zebra in the box that best represented good things and a panda in the box that best represented bad things.

Most of right-handed people located good things in the box on the right while left-handers placed them in the box on the left. Interestingly, only 14 percent of participants thought that his election had to do with what his dominant hand was.

Then, to see whether the left or right location could affect rating dimensions on abstract personality, he asked another group of participants to rate pairs of objects depicted in another drawing, indicating which of the two seemed more intelligent, more honest, more attractive and happier. And in a final experiment, participants were asked to assess which candidate would they chose for a job, or what product would they buy in a store.

In all tasks, right-handers tended to evaluate the object on the right better, while left-handers favoured the one on the left. Therefore, UGR professor says, “these results demonstrate that perceptuomotor experiences, in this case the greater ease and fluidity of interaction with one or another side of space, are sufficient to generate stable associations between specific dimensions, such as space, and concepts of a high degree of abstraction, such as kindness, intelligence or honesty.”

El mar cubriría la Estatua de la Libertad si se derriten los casquetes polares

El mar cubriría la Estatua de la Libertad si se derriten los casquetes polares

Si todos los casquetes polares se deshicieran tendríamos unos sesenta metros de subida del nivel del mar», explicó la investigadora española en declaraciones a Europa Press, al tiempo que comentó que este proyecto pretende valorar la estabilidad de la Antártida durante episodios de elevadas temperaturas y altas concentraciones de CO2 ocurridos en el pasado, y de esta forma prever su resistencia en el actual escenario de cambio climático.

«Estamos en la costa de la Antártida que está en frente de Australia haciendo una perforación de los fondos marinos y recolectando sedimentos que se han estado acumulando durante millones de años en las cuencas marinas. Es una aventura científica», apostilló.

En este sentido, indicó que antes de que existiera la Antártida la zona estaba poblada por bosques de coníferas y que gracias a un enfriamiento global se formó el continente antártico. Además, apuntó que el casquete polar ártico se formó posteriormente, por lo que durante millones de años tan sólo existió la Antártida.

Para ello, los 29 científicos de 14 nacionalidades, entre ellos tres españoles y uno de ellos procedente de un instituto japonés, realizarán hasta marzo un total de cuatro perforaciones en pozos marinos de hasta 1.400 metros de profundidad, para obtener muestras que contengan la evolución completa del casquete desde su origen.

Así, Escutia relata que una vez alcanzado el suelo marino se realizarán perforaciones de entre 200 y 1.400 metros, lo que permitiría recolectar cerca de 2.600 metros de sedimento marino. El \’Joides Resolution\’, como así se llama el buque, dispone de numerosos laboratorios donde los expertos descifran de forma preliminar sus componentes (microfósiles, partículas, campo magnético terrestre, entre otros) para posteriormente estudiarlos más a fondo en sus respectivos centros de investigación.

«El barco de perforación tiene su torre y una especie de tubería que se extiende hacia el fondo marino a través de la columna de agua. Ahora estamos haciendo el primer pozo y acabamos de pasar los primeros 650 metros de sedimento», concretó.

De hecho, señaló que es importante conocer de qué forma se \’ha comportado\’ el casquete a lo largo de la historia porque éste cuando se deshace causa una subida del nivel global del mar y también tiene mucha influencia en la circulación oceánica global de las aguas frías y profundas.

Igualmente, indicó que la Tierra ha sido más fría y más cálida de lo que es en la actualidad y que ésta como planeta no tiene problemas con el cambio de clima, pero sí el ser humano al contar con mucha actividad, como la agricultura, y un gran porcentaje vive en poblaciones costeras a las que afectaría ese cambio en el nivel del mar.

«Cada vez que se deshace un glaciar de la Tierra aumenta el nivel del mar, aquí tenemos las grandes masas de hielo terrestre y sabemos muy poco qué causa su deshielo y bajo qué condiciones se deshacen o no y de qué forma», agregó.

Asimismo, explicó que han podido comprobar gracias a los sedimentos recopilados hasta la fecha una «clara evidencia» de que hace unos quince millones de años hubo un calentamiento en la Tierra, pero en el que todavía no ha podido descifrarse de qué forma reaccionó el hielo en el momento.

La ruta de la nave, que partió el 3 de enero de Wellington (Nueva Zelanda), se dirige hacia el territorio Wilkes, en la parte oriental de la Antártida, al sur del océano Índico. Es la primera vez que se realizan perforaciones en este sector del continente. En los últimos 15 años, se han desarrollado dos expediciones de este tipo, una en la Península Antártica y otra en la bahía de Prydz. El viaje concluirá el próximo 9 de marzo en Hobart, la capital de la isla de Tasmania (Australia).

Este proyecto pertenece al Programa Internacional de Perforación Integrada del Océano (IODP, por sus siglas en inglés), un consorcio de investigación internacional dedicado al análisis de la historia de la Tierra a través del estudio de los sedimentos marinos y participado por 22 países, entre ellos España, que paga una cuota anual.

Los modelos climáticos actuales apuntan a que la transición de una Tierra cálida (sin casquetes de hielo) a una Tierra fría se originó por un descenso en la concentración de CO2 en la atmósfera. «Dada la tendencia actual de incremento de gases de efecto invernadero y el correspondiente aumento de las temperaturas globales, tanto atmosféricas como marinas, estudios sobre la estabilidad de los casquetes de hielos, como éste, resultan prioritarios», concluyó la experta del Instituto Andaluz de Ciencias de la Tierra (centro mixto del CSIC y la Universidad de Granada).

Un ciclo de conferencias conmemora el 200 aniversario de la entrada de Napoleón en Granada

Un ciclo de conferencias conmemora desde hoy el bicentenario de la entrada y ocupación «pacífica» de Granada por parte de las tropas napoleónicas, para cuya celebración también se han programado una serie de conciertos, visitas guiadas y publicaciones especiales.

Los actos del Bicentenario de la Ocupación han sido presentados hoy en el Ayuntamiento de Granada por Melchor Sáiz-Pardo, defensor del ciudadano, y César Girón, representante de la comisión ciudadana encargada de la conmemoración, que ha destacado que la «rendición» fue «muy productiva» porque salvaguardó «las propiedades y la forma de ser granadina».

El legado de los franceses en la fisonomía de la ciudad se puede ver en su urbanismo, con aportaciones como los jardines del Salón, la plaza de la Trinidad o el Puente Verde, ha detallado Sáiz-Pardo, que también ha aclarado que hubo aportaciones negativas como el desfalco de la Hacienda Pública y la deportación de las obras de arte de los palacios y los conventos granadinos.

El ciclo de conferencias será inaugurado esta tarde en el Salón de Plenos del Ayuntamiento con una conferencia a cargo del profesor José Antonio López Nevot bajo el título de «La invasión napoleónica de Granada 1810-1812», y continuará durante los dos próximos meses con siete charlas más en la sede de CajaGranada.

Girón ha destacado también la colaboración del Mando de Adiestramiento y Doctrina (MADOC) del Ejército con el cual se editará un libro conmemorativo, y se organizará un concierto de marchas militares, en el que también participará el Coro de la Universidad de Granada, así como una exposición sobre la invasión el próximo mes de octubre.

Las visitas guiadas sobre estos años de impulso del «afrancesamiento» cultural tendrán una duración de dos horas, y contarán con grupos limitados de hasta cincuenta personas, en dos sábados de febrero.

«La presencia de los franceses supuso un antes y un después», ha aseverado Girón para añadir que algunos historiadores fechan en 1810, con la entrada de José I en la capital granadina, el paso del antiguo al nuevo Régimen en España que dos años después culminaría con la constitución de las Cortes de Cádiz.

Si hoy se conmemora la entrada de las tropas en Granada, ayer se realizó un acto en el que se reinterpretó la capitulación ante Napoleón en Pinos Puente, un hito sólo comparable a la otra capitulación ocurrida en la historia granadina: ante Boabdil varios siglos antes.

La comisión ciudadana encargada del Bicentenario, compuesta por 22 personas, ha previsto para el 16 de marzo, coincidiendo con el fin del ciclo de conferencias y con el bicentenario del viaje josefino, una conferencia-coloquio en el Colegio de Abogados, junto a la Chancillería donde se alojó el rey José I quien, desde allí, ordenó arriar la bandera francesa que ondeaba en la Torre de la Vela y sustituirla por la española.
