The Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS)
2021
Abstract. The current study proposed the adaptation of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS) to the religious domain as an instrument to measure both individuals’ religious identity formation processes (when a variable-centered approach is adopted) and religious identity statuses (when a person-centered approach is adopted). The scale has been tested on a sample of 727 Italian participants aged 13–65 years, by collecting evidence of score structure, convergent, and criterion-related validity. Regarding the score structure validity, we confirmed that religious identity formation consists of three processes (commitment, in-depth exploration, reconsideration of commitm…
Quality of life at work in academia: preliminary results for the validation of a tool for Italian university
2019
Purpose: Research on quality of working life in academia appears surprisingly rare in many countries, and in some cases nearly absent. Trying to fill this gap, a team formed by W/O psychologists from 16 Italian universities developed a tool for the assessment of psychosocial risks as well as workers health and wellbeing in universities. The validation of this tool (theoretically based on the Job Demands- Resources model) will be presented in this contribution. Design: A pilot study was conducted on a sample of 120 Italian university researchers/teachers, to make a preliminary test of the psychometric properties of the tool. In order to finalize the validation of the tool a second study was …
La politica buona
2016
Il primo pilastro di una buona politica è la sua ispirazione etica o tensione ideale… La difficoltà nel realizzare una buona politica è oggi accentuata dalla crisi di valori, che induce chi ha il potere a posporre i valori all’efficacia, la qualità alla quantità. Pertanto, per la realizzazione di una “buona politica”, è necessario cambiare mentalità. (dall’introduzione di Padre Bartolomeo Sorge)
Building Resilience due to violence: The struggle of Mexican Communities
2015
In Psychology the term resilience refers to man’s ability to respond to stressful events in a positive manner. Cases of feminicide in Mexican society provide significant information regarding the relationship between violence and the development of a capacity for resistance in order to preserve life in the long term. Given that the promotion of empowered actions is closely related with issues of community, power and precariousness, this article will discuss cultural and socio-economic factors in institutional violence against Mexican women and will provide a comprehensive look at a theoretical framework for understanding resilience within this context, starting from the relationship between…
CAPIRE E GESTIRE LA VIOLENZA NELLA SCHIZOFRENIA
2017
Il problema della violenza nelle persone affette da schizofrenia pone spinosi dilemmi clinici e sociali. Da una parte, il comportamento aggressivo nella schizofrenia può essere una pericolosa, anche se rara, complicanza della malattia. I medici sono tenuti ad anticipare, valutare, gestire e ridurre i rischi di violenza dei loro pazienti, con interventi e trattamenti adeguati. D’altra parte, pazienti psichiatrici capaci di decidere autonomamente, spesso riducono o sospendono il trattamento nel corso del tempo, il che è un loro diritto, e in ogni caso molte cause di violenza non possono essere trattate con i farmaci (Swanson et al., 2008a). Inoltre, concentrarsi semplicemente sul potenziale d…

Positive Effects of Videogame Use on Visuospatial Competencies: The Impact of Visualization Style in Preadolescents and Adolescents
2019
Use of videogames (VGs) is almost ubiquitous in preadolescents' and adolescents' everyday life. One of the most intriguing research topics about positive effects of VG use is about the domain of visuospatial competencies. Previous research show that training with videogames enables children and adolescents to improve their scores in visuospatial tests (such as mental rotation of shapes and cubes), and that such training could overcome gender differences in these domains. Our study aimed at (1) verifying the positive effects of videogame use in the visuospatial domain both for male and female adolescents and preadolescents and (2) verifying whether the visualization style (2D or isometric 3D…

La progettazione di interventi per il benessere individuale e di comunità
2022
I progetti di intervento in ambito sociale e psicologico prevedono azioni volte a creare una rete non solo tra istituzioni e supporto informale, ma anche un'opportunità di cambiamento per i beneficiari. In tal senso, nel 2020, 6 giovani dei Servizi della Giustizia Minorile di Palermo hanno par-tecipato ad un progetto ottenendo un'opportunità di cambiamento attraverso la promozione del benessere, sia come individui sia come membri di una comunità. In generale, tali interventi consistono nel sostenere le categorie sociali e gli individui più vulnerabili. L'adozione dello sport acquatico è una metodologia valida, poiché si basa sulla condivisione di norme oltre che sulla responsabilità individ…
Work commitment and engagement in south Italian volunteers
2009
Objectives. Recent research on volunteering has increased its interest in integrating different theoretical models such as motivational and socio-psychological ones. The current research replicates and extends a Swiss survey (Guntert, 2008) among a sample of Italian volunteers. The aim was to examine the antecedents (mainly in terms of motivational factors and identification) of outcomes such as commitment and engagement towards volunteering. Methods. To examine these antecedents and the outcomes, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 165 young Italian adults who were engaged in various voluntary associations in south Italy (Campania and Sicilia). Results. Our analyses, underlinin…
