Misurare e valutare alle frontiere incerte tra quantità e qualità.

. Measuring strategies and instruments at the uncertain frontiers of quality and quantity. As a development of previous contributions in this section on methodology, and with a specific reference to the ongoing discussion in the literature on the reliability and relevance of quantitative measures of qualitative dimensions such as satisfaction, the present comment underlines the need of a 'cultural' approach to the problems which are a mix/crossroad of quality and quantity. Two most recent very brief, didactical, provocative publications, by a woman mathematician and a famous world-renowned economist respectively, are suggested as model examples of the need and potential contribution of a broader, multidisciplinary, culturally contextualized research strategies and instruments.
