Research[edit]
Catellani works on reasoning and communication effects, as well as the integration between social psychology and artificial intelligence. She studies the effects of counterfactual and prefactual (i.e., “If... then...”) reasoning and communication on impression formation, event explanation, adherence to environmental policies, and a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Her research shows that hypothetical past and future scenarios can differently appeal and convince according to the way they are framed and their match with the characteristics of the recipients. Research is carried out through experimental and correlational studies, and data are analysed through advanced statistical analyses, such as structural equation models, multiple and logistic regression, and machine learning techniques. With Mauro Bertolotti and others, she studied how counterfactual reasoning and communication influence impression formation in attack-defence situations[1][2][3][4] and event explanation in the legal domain[5]. She also investigated the effects of prefactual communication aimed at promoting public policies regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation[6][7][8]. With Patrizia Milesi and Augusta Isabella Alberici she studied how counterfactuals influence responsibility attribution in the political[9] and legal domains[10][11]. With Valentina Carfora she studied how to make public communication on nutrition[12][13] and physical activity[14] more effective, by strategically framing hypothetical future scenarios. Finally, and more recently, with Marco Piastra she studied the integration between social psychology and artificial intelligence[15]. These studies aim at developing digital communication systems that use personalized framing to promote health, well-being, and sustainability[16].
