EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRE-ADOLESCENT IMMIGRANTS OF SECOND GENERATION
The goal of this research has investigated if individual levels of EI in adolescent immigrants of second generation are related to different indicators of psychological adjustment such as individual well-being and peer relationships. To this aim, a group of 266 students of two schools in Palermo: 63 immigrants and 203 autochthonous aged from 10 to 18 (M=13.6, SD=25.3) EI was measured using a recently published Italian test IE-ACCME (D’Amico, 2013) addressed to preadolescents and adolescents and aimed at measuring the four branches of emotional intelligence described in Mayer & Salovey’s model (1997) using both self-report and performance measures. Psychological well-being was measured using…

Il ruolo dell’Intelligenza Emotiva nell’adattamento psico-sociale di adolescenti immigrati di seconda generazione.
L'obiettivo di questo studio è indagare se un training in intelligenza emotiva (IE) in pre-adolescenti immigrati di seconda generazione, aiuta a migliorare il benessere individuale e l’accettazione sociale, favorendo così l’inclusione sociale. A tal fine, sono state coinvolte due classi di un istituto comprensivo di Palermo: una sperimentale e una di controllo, per un totale di 38 partecipanti di cui 17 immigrati e 21 autoctoni, tra i 12 e 15 anni di etá. Il training ha integrato metodologie e attivitá dei programmi INTEMO (Ruiz-Aranda 2013) e “Sviluppare l’Intelligenza Emotiva” (D’Amico e De Caro, 2008). Entrambi i programmi si basano sul modello di ability IE di Mayer e Salovey, (1997). G…
