Sulla fortuna di «Misero pargoletto»: materiali e ipotesi
2020
The aria "Misero pargoletto", sung by Timante in the third act of Pietro Metastasio's "Demofoonte", enjoyed exceptional fortune throughout the eighteenth century. The text was set tu music dozens of times not only as part of the opera it belongs to, but also as an independent piece. This essay discusses the judgements expressed on "Misero pargoletto" by several men of letters and theorists, examines some buffo parodies of the aria that demonstrate its wide notoriety, and formulates some hypotheses about the reasons for such a great success, which can be partially justified by the new conception of fatherood that emerged in the so-called Age of Sensibility.
Emozioni, sensazioni, intelletto. Riflessioni sulla problematica opposizione razionale/irrazionale
2022
The opposition between a rational and an irrational behavior or thought poses difficulties in understanding: what do we really mean by «irrational»? A behavior or a thought that adheres to emotions and does not arise from slow reflection can be considered irrational; on the other hand, can we state that emotional reactions and intuitions are «irrational»? I draw from Aristotle’s De Anima the idea of bringing emotions, sensations and intellect back to a unitary movement and placing them in a certain distinction with respect to dianoetic reason; Aristotelian’s bestowal of cognitive value on emotions was then lost, in Western gnoseology, in parallel with the devaluation of the prerogatives of …
Motion in Experience. Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives
2020
Under the title Motion in Experience, the phenomenon of movement is discussed as a trait of experience in a wide range of interpretations. Moving and being moved come into play not only as physical phenomena, but also as inner developmental movements. The aim of this issue is to foster a common and interdisciplinary reflection on the phenomenon of movement as a decisive moment of experience.
Eccesso di scelta e stress decisionale tra cognizione ed emozione
2008
Partendo da una breve rassegna della recente letteratura psicologica sui limiti cognitivi, emozionali e motivazionali della presa di decisioni, il presente contributo segnala la necessità di rivedere criticamente la diffusa convinzione secondo cui avere la possibilità di scegliere è sempre vantaggioso e gratificante per l’individuo. La sovrabbondanza di decisioni richieste dalla società odierna rischia, infatti, di tradursi in una stressante “tirannia di troppa scelta”.
Effect of family structure and TPH2 G-703T on the stability of dysregulation profile throughout adolescence
2015
Abstract Background Two different polymorphisms (TPH2 G-703T and 5-HTTLPR) involved in the serotonergic pathway have been reported to play a role, both alone and in interaction with the environment, in early and adult emotion regulation. As most of these studies are cross-sectional, we know little about the impact of these polymorphisms over time, particularly during adolescence. Methods Because we were interested in the effects of these polymorphisms and environment (i.e., family structure) at different time-points on the emotional dysregulation profile, we performed a path analysis model in a general adolescent population sample of a five-year follow-up study. Results We found a high stab…
Emotional intelligence in children with severe sleep-related breathing disorders
2019
Background. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects up to 4% of a pediatric population, with many comorbidities in the medium-long term. Functional alterations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may explain why OSAS impacts aspects such as executive functions, memory, motor control, attention, visual-spatial skills, learning, and mood regulation. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a complex neuropsychological function that could be impaired in many clinical conditions. Purpose. The aim of the study is to evaluate the difference in emotional intelligence skills among children with OSAS and healthy subjects (nOSAS). Methods. 129 children (72 males; mean age 7.64±1.98 years) affected by OSAS w…
Emotional and meta-emotional intelligence as predictors of adjustment problems in students with Specific Learning Disorders
2017
The purpose of this study was to analyse adjustment problems in a group of adolescents with a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), examining to what extent they depend on the severity level of the learning disorder and/or on the individual‟s level of emotional intelligence. Adjustment problems,, perceived severity levels of SLD, and emotional and meta-emotional intelligence were examined in 34 adolescents with SLD. Results demonstrated that emotional beliefs, emotional self-concept and emotional intelligence are very important factors in the psychological adjustment of adolescents with SLD. These results provide evidence for the importance of considering meta-emotional intelligence in both dia…
L’intelligenza emotiva: rassegna dei principali modelli teorici, degli strumenti di valutazione e dei primi risultati di ricerca.
2008
La rassegna prende in esame i diversi modelli teorici di intelligenza emotiva, che l’hanno definita ora come un insieme di tratti disposizionali (trait emotional intelligence), ora di abilità cognitivo-motivazionali (ability emotional intelligence). Vengono descritti inoltre gli strumenti di misurazione disponibili (scale self-report e test abilitybased) e commentati i risultati della letteratura scientifica sul rapporto tra intelligenza emotiva e qualità della vita, benessere, uccesso scolastico, accademico e lavorativo. Per le incongruenze e le controversie emerse nel panorama di ricerca si sottolinea la necessità di pervenire sia ad una definizione teorica condivisa del costrutto che a m…
The use of Technology in the promotion of Children's Emotional Intelligence: The multimedia program "Developing Emotional Intelligence"
2018
"Developing Emotional Intelligence” is an Italian language multimedia tool created for children between 8 and 12 years of age. The software is based on the four ‘branches’ of model of emotional intelligence proposed by Mayer and Salovey and aims to evaluate and improve abilities in perception of emotions; using emotion to facilitate thought; understanding emotions; and managing emotions. In the software, four characters represent the four branches of emotional intelligence and guide children through the ‘world of emotions’ using drawings, animations, music, sounds and verbal instructions. The software is comprised of two components, namely an assessment section (27 items) and a training sec…
EMotional Intelligence And Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome In Children: Preliminary Case-Control Study
2017
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects up to 4% of pediatric population, with many co-morbidities in the medium-long term. Functional alterations in prefrontal cortex (PFC) may explain why OSAS impacts aspects such as: executive functions, memory, motor control, attention, visual-spatial skills, learning and mood regulation. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a complex neuropsychological function that could be impaired in many clinical conditions. Aim of the study is to evaluate the difference in emotional intelligence skills among children with OSAS and healthy subjects Materials and methods: 29 children (16 males) mean age 9.5 ± 1.54 years, affected by OSAS were compare…
