Unique aspects of the professional identity of tattooed psychologists : the professional self-esteem, sense of not belonging and intentional behavior…
2013
Tatuointien ja lävistysten kasvava suosio on alkanut yleistyä kaikissa sosiaalisissa ja ammatillisissa luokissa, mukaan lukien psykologian opiskelijat ja jopa ammattilaiset psykologit. Tatuoinnit eivät ole enää pelkkä rikollisten ja kapinallisten merkki – niistä on tullut kaikille saatavilla oleva muoti-ilmiö. Ne eivät ole ennenkuulumattomia koristeita monelle nykyiselle ja tulevalle psykologillekaan, joiden työ vaatii oman ulkoasun harkintaa ja nojaa hyvin pitkälti vuorovaikutussuhteen laatuun. Tämä laadullinen tapaustutkimus neljästä tatuoidusta suomalaisesta psykologian ja psykiatrian alan ammattilaisesta pyrkii tutkimaan mitä mahdollisia vaikutuksia tatuoinneilla voi olla psykologin kok…
Aquiescence produce methods bias?: A study across self-esteem scales
2011
Un exercici corrent a les escales d’autoestima és presentar ítems en la direcció del tret, així com ítems en el sentit oposat. Aquesta pràctica ha esdevés habitual donat la presència d’aquiescència, entesa com la tendència a respondre de manera afirmativa amb independència del contingut dels ítems. Existeix abundant evidència a la literatura que el seu ús genera variància de mètode, fent aparéixer efectes de mètode no associats amb els trets d’interés. En aquest sentit, la present investigació pretén ampliar l’evidència i l’estudi de l’efecte de mètode associat als ítems negatius en el context de les escales d’autoestima. Es valora si aquest es presenta, no només quan l’autoestima es mesura…
The Relationship between Knowing Sign Language and Quality of Life among Italian People Who Are Deaf: A Cross-Sectional Study
2023
Deafness is a medical condition with important relational implications. This condition could affect well-being and self-esteem and cause social anxiety. Sign language is not only a simple mimic but can be considered as a different kind of communication that could be protective for those who have learned it. However, some people do not use sign language because they think it can be marginalizing. The present study aimed to compare the quality of life (QoL) between people who learned Italian sign language as their first language with those who had never learned it or learned it later. This cross-sectional study involved 182 deaf Italian adults (70.3% females) who were recruited from Ente Nazi…
Prosociality and life satisfaction: A daily-diary investigation among Spanish university students
2018
Abstract With a diary study, we tested the positive effect of prosociality on life satisfaction. Fifty-six Spanish undergraduate students (45 females; Mage = 21.08 years) rated their life satisfaction, prosociality, self-esteem, and physical appearance for 5 consecutive days. Multilevel results indicated that within-individual positive deviations in prosociality (i.e., behaving more prosocial than usual) were uniquely and significantly associated with higher life satisfaction on that specific day. Students' self-esteem, physical appearance, and positive daily events were also predictive of life satisfaction. Exploratory analyses revealed that the positive effect of prosociality on life sati…
Internet out of control: The role of self-esteem and personality traits in pathological internet use
2017
Objective: Young people seem particularly likely to develop pathological Internet use (PIU) with the use of social networks, chat, and videos. Sensation-seeking, neuroticism, introversion, and low self-esteem are personality features frequently associated with the disease. The aim of this study was to replicate and to extend previous findings by exploring the combined effect of personality traits and self-esteem on PIU. Method: A sample of 652 male students attending vocational technical schools in Palermo (Southern Italy) was assessed using the following measures: the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire to evaluate personality traits; the Multidimensional Self-Concept Scale to asse…
The Impact of Adolescent Internet Addiction on Sexual Online Victimization: The Mediating Effects of Sexting and Body Self-Esteem
2021
Adolescents’ problematic use of the internet and the risk of sexual online victimization are an increasing concern among families, researchers, professionals and society. This study aimed to analyze the interplay between adolescents’ addiction to social networks and internet, body self-esteem and sexual–erotic risk behavior online: sexting, sextortion and grooming. While sexting refers to the voluntary engagement in texting sexual–erotic messages, sextortion and grooming are means of sexual–erotic victimization through the use of the internet. Participants were 1763 adolescents (51% girls), aged 12 to 16 years (M = 14.56
The associations of quantitative/qualitative job insecurity and well-being: The role of self-esteem.
2019
Job insecurity is recognized as one of the most prominent job stressors for employees. Despite decades of research, the concurrent examination of both quantitative (i.e. perceived threat of job loss) and qualitative (i.e., perceived threat of losing some job features) job insecurity and the analysis of their different relationships with well-being at work have received relatively scarce attention. This study examined a moderated mediation model of the relationship between quantitative job insecurity and well-being at work. In doing so, the focus was on the mediating effects of qualitative job insecurity and the moderating effects of self-esteem in the abovementioned relationships. Drawing f…
