E' possibile educare a scegliere il bene e non il male?
2016
Il bene, che per connaturalità può essere riconosciuto nelle persone buone, nasce come frutto della libertà. Esso è attrattivo e mette in moto colui che ne viene educato verso l'avvenimento della persona buona

L’intervento ha previsto la progettazione, la costruzione e la sperimentazione di una serie di attività attraverso le quali gli insegnanti in collaborazione con i genitori hanno potuto sviluppare la capacità di progettazione e di scelta del futuro professionale ne…
Cardiovascular Management Self-efficacy: Psychometric Properties of a New Scale and Its Usefulness in a Rehabilitation Context.
2015
Self-efficacy beliefs have been shown to affect various effective health-promoting behaviors in patients. Unfortunately, availability of reliable and valid measures of self-efficacy in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is still very limited. Background: Self-efficacy beliefs have been shown to affect various effective health-promoting behaviors in patients. Unfortunately, availability of reliable and valid measures of self-efficacy in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is still very limited. Purpose: The aims of this study were to present a new scale measuring self-efficacy beliefs in managing CVD and to examine its psychometric properties. Methods: The study involved 172 patients (mean age = 66.4…
Autobiographical Memory, Personality, and Facebook Mementos
2019
The present study analyzed the relationships between directive, self and social functions of autobiographical memory, personality traits, as defined by the Five Factor model, and the Facebook mementos. We defined Facebook mementos as objective measures of the textual (i.e., Facebook Status Updating) and visual (i.e., Photos uploading) information people record on their Facebook profiles. Questionnaires gathered data from a sample of 193 Italian Facebook users (148 female; 45 male; age M = 22.8, SD = 6.8). Results at path analysis using AMOS showed direct significant positive associations between personality traits related to extraversion, openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness and Faceboo…
Development and Maintenance of Self-Disclosure on Facebook: The Role of Personality Traits
2019
This study explored the relationships between Facebook self-disclosure and personality traits in a sample of Italian users. The aim was to analyze the predictive role of Big Five personality traits on different parameters of breadth and depth of self-disclosed behaviors online. Facebook users, aged between 18 and 64 years of age ( M age = 25.3 years, SD = 6.8; N = 958), of which 51% were female, voluntarily completed an online survey assessing personality traits and Facebook self-disclosure. Results at a series of hierarchical regression analyses significantly corroborated the hypotheses that high extroverted and openness people tend to disclose on Facebook a significant amount of personal …
Happiness by personality traits: the mediating role of decision-making tendencies
Background: Prior work has shown that happiness is associated with high levels of extroversion and low levels of neuroticism; whereas conscientiousness and agreeableness have also been found to be moderately associated with subjective well-being and happiness.Nevertheless, the reasons why personality traits are linked to subjective well-being remain poorly interpreted. As a consequence, the identification of mediating variables could be strategic for better understanding of the reasons for well-being. One promising avenue has been the focus on individuals’ tendencies in decision-making which may alter happiness levels. The relationships between well-being and maximizing vs. satisficing tend…
The Switch to Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Interplay between Personality and Mental Health on University Students
2023
The switching from traditional to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was challenging for students, determining an increase in physical and mental health problems. The current paper applied a two-step cluster analysis in a large sample of n = 1028 university students (Mage = 21.10 years, SD = 2.45 years; range: 18–30 years; 78.4% females). Participants responded to an online survey exploring neuroticism, trait/state anxiety, general self-efficacy, academic motivation, fear of COVID-19, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical and mental health, and the help requests. Results showed two significant clusters of students having a Maladaptive Academic Profile (n = 456; 44.4%) or…
Il ruolo delle funzioni della memoria autobiografica e dei tratti di personalità nella condivisione degli eventi di vita su Facebook
Introduzione La letteratura ha dimostrato che la memoria autobiografica assolve tre ampie funzioni: dirigere il comportamento futuro, favorire la connessione sociale e promuovere un senso di continuità della propria identità (Bluck, Alea, Habermas e Rubin, 2005). Recenti studi empirici supportano l’idea che l’uso funzionale della memoria autobiografica sia associato ai diversi contenuti informativi che le persone condividono sui social media (Seyfi & Soydas, 2017). Parimenti, una considerevole quantità di ricerche ha evidenziato l’associazione tra le informazioni testuali o visive condivise su Facebook e specifici tratti disposizionali della personalità (p.e. Ryan & Xenos, 2011; Seidman…
Personality and Optimal Experience in Adolescence: Implications for Well-Being and Development
2013
Past research has repeatedly identified relations between optimal experience—or flow—and well-being across the lifespan. In the attempt to identify the conditions favoring this experience, some studies took into account personality traits. While most of them operationalized flow in terms of intensity, we presently focused on perceived occurrence versus absence of flow. Specifically, we investigated the relations between flow occurrence, hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, activities associated with flow, and personality in adolescence. A group of 408 Italian teenagers (mean age = 17.31; SD = 1.13) were administered Flow Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affec…
Do personality traits and self-regulatory processes affect decision-making tendencies?
2018
Objective: This research attempted to clarify the role played by personality traits and self-regulated motivation in affecting decision-making tendencies. Method: Study 1 (n = 209) examined whether the Big Five personality traits predict minimising, maximising, and satisficing tendencies; Study 2 (n = 460) tested the mediating role of self-regulatory orientations in the relationship between personality traits and decision-making tendencies by performing structural equation modelling with latent variables. Results: Conscientiousness emerged as the strongest positive predictor of maximising, whereas openness to experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness emerged as negative predictors of…
