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 …
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…
The relationship between emotion regulation, emotion knowledge and adjustment in preschoolers: A mediation model.
2016
The study explored the total, direct and indirect effects of emotion knowledge on adjustment in preschoolers ans examined whether emotion regulation mediated the relationships between emotion knowledge and adjustment (social competence, and behavioral difficulties, such as anxiety–withdrawal and anger–aggression). Two hundred forty children (118 boys and 122 girls) from 3 to 5 years of age (mean age = 4.23, SD = .80) were administered a vocabulary test to check their verbal ability and a measure of emotion knowledge. Teachers filled out two questionnaires about children’s regulation and adjustment variables. A mediation model was tested combined with an assessment of the indirect effects to…
La valutazione del temperamento infantile: osservazioni dirette e indirette delle espressioni emotive nel primo anno di vita
2016
Lo studio si propone di esaminare le differenze individuali nell’espressione delle emozioni di gioia, rabbia, interesse e paura e nel livello di attività di bambini nel primo anno di vita, utilizzando un approccio multi-metodo basato sull’utilizzo di uno strumento di osservazione diretta, la Lab-TAB (Goldsmith e Rothbart, 1999), e uno strumento di osservazione indiretta, il questionario IBQ-R (Montirosso, Cozzi, Putnam, Gartstein e Borgatti, 2011). I dati delle osservazioni dirette sono stati rilevati attraverso due diversi sistemi di codifica: molecolare e globale. Obiettivo dello studio è anche di verificare se i risultati ottenuti con i due sistemi di codifica delle osservazioni converga…
Beyond emotional intelligence: The new construct of meta-emotional intelligence
2023
Meta-emotional intelligence is a recently developed multidimensional construct that, starting from the original ability model of emotional intelligence, focuses on the cognitive aspects of emotional abilities and on the metacognitive and meta-emotional processes that influence our emotional life. Thus, meta-emotional intelligence is the combination of emotional abilities and meta-emotional dimensions, such as the beliefs about emotions, the self-concept about one's emotional abilities, and the self-evaluation of performance. This article aims to illustrate the theoretical and methodological background of this construct and to describe the IE-ACCME test, an original multi-method tool that ha…
