A comparison between motivations and personality traits in religious tourists and cruise ship tourists
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the motivations and the personality traits that characterize tourists who choose religious travels versus cruises. Participating in the research were 683 Italian tourists (345 males and 338 females, age range 18–63 years); 483 who went to a pilgrimage travel and 200 who chose a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea. Both groups of tourists completed the Travel Motivation Scale and the Big Five Questionnaire. Results show that different motivations and personality traits characterize the different types of tourists and, further, that motivations for traveling are predicted by specific —some similar, other divergent— personality traits
Nuovi scenari familiari e omoparentalità: autopercezioni e relazioni sociali
Le trasformazioni strutturali e relazionali che hanno coinvolto l'asse coniugale e quello genitoriale, rappresentano mutamenti che hanno messo in discussione il tradizionale modello di famiglia costituita da una coppia eterosessuale coniugata e dai figli biologici (Garro, Salerno, 2014).
Building Resilience due to violence: The struggle of Mexican Communities
In Psychology the term resilience refers to man’s ability to respond to stressful events in a positive manner.

Homophobic bullying and preventive actions at school: from laws to gender studies in Italy
The evolution of thought relating to sexual orientation and the greater visibility of gay and lesbian people, at media level also, haven’t been efficient for the revisiting of homosexual rendering from public acceptance and for a cultural transformation. The violent events on young homosexual students urge to reflect on the need that trainers should introduce educational models capable of providing different models of gender identification, fighting the stereotype that tries to substitute the reality itself. The homophobic bullying is intended as a fight to safety and well-being of young students. A multi-disciplinary and network approach seems to be for health practitioners a valid startin…
