Esperienze di attaccamento e competenza emotiva nei minori abusanti
2014
Le relazioni interpersonali consentono ai bambini di apprendere quale significato attribuire alle emozioni, nonché quali modalità socialmente accettabili utilizzare; tra le variabili in grado di spiegare il comportamento dei minori abusanti appaiono particolarmente significative la scarsa competenza emotiva e l’insicurezza del legame di attaccamento. La valutazione della storia personale e dell’Adult Attachment Interview di due utenti dell’Ufficio di Servizio Sociale per i Minorenni (USSM) di Palermo accusati di un reato sessuale ha permesso di evidenziare una mancanza di intimità nelle relazioni che viene disfunzionalmente compensata attraverso la condotta abusante. L’analisi dei due casi …
Understanding the smartphone generation: is problematic smartphone use associated with low body esteem among adolescent girls and boys?
2020
Contemporary adolescents increasingly engage with social media via their smartphones, and problematic smartphone use has been identified as a growing concern. The aim of the current study was to examine the association between problematic smartphone use and body esteem among adolescent boys and girls. A sample of 647 adolescents (mean age: 14.15 years; 56.7% females) completed measures of problematic smartphone use, emotional regulation, and body esteem. Findings from hierarchical regression models revealed that problematic smartphone use was weakly associated with body esteem among both adolescent girls and boys. Furthermore, difficulties with emotional regulation were moderately associate…
Advising in family firms: shaping relational dynamics and trustful connections in strategy work
2022
The purpose of this article is to explore strategy advisors’ actions and interactions with family actors and nonfamily managers for strategy work in family businesses. By combining the strategy-as-practice perspective with the concept of emotional engagement practices, we interpret the case of a family firm collaborating with an external advisor over a 15-year period. We add to prior studies by showing how advisors work to build trustful and emotional connections that shape relational dynamics within evolving spaces of strategic discussion. We highlight the implications for strategy work, which change as relational dynamics develop over time.
Il racconto giornalistico del dolore tra emozioni, voyeurismo e indifferenza. Uno sguardo sugli effetti imprevisti dell’infotainment
2018
The spectacularization of news, with the recent passage from “information to sensation” typical of emotainment, has made the question of the ethical dimension of newsmedia even more problematic, revealing unforeseen consequences, too often described as risks, of show perspective in journalistic narration. The issue of the social responsibility of the media is addressed through a critical reading of the “Italian declination” of the show- journalism, focusing on the question on the relationship between the vision of suffering offered to distracted viewers of planetary audiences and their concrete possibilities of a consequent action to stop them.
“Sick woman” or “half woman”? Breast and cervical cancer, emotional script and representations of female body in a mediterranean area of Italy
2016
The proposal aims to highlight the semiotic elements of the discourse that refer to the symbolic ones of representations, and that transform the therapy in an exercise of professional dominion aimed to modify the perception of the self of the female patient through the subversion of specific emotional script. The mapping of the emotional scripts of shame and modesty, in their performative evolution, will be useful to demonstrate how and through what relational strategies the medicalization performs a gender violence which leads to exclude and self-stigmatise the sick woman, considered a “half woman”. The reflection that has its incipit in the ascertainment that the female body has been and …

Emotional separation and detachment as two distinct dimensions of parent--adolescent relationships
2011
The study examined adolescents’ emotional separation and detachment from parents, analyzing their relations with connectedness and agency, with some aspects of self—other boundary regulation and with problem behavior. The participants were 331 Italian adolescents, aged from 16 to 19 years (mean age = 17.40, SD = 1.14). Separation and detachment were positively related; they were negatively related to connectedness; detachment was also negatively associated to agency. Emotional separation was negatively predicted by empathic concern, perspective-taking and separate self; emotional detachment was negatively predicted by empathic concern and self—other differentiation. Separation negatively p…
You are not alone – Social sharing as a necessary addition to the Embracing factor
2017
AbstractI argue that the Embracing factor cannot be adequately conceptualized without taking into account the regulatory power of the social sharing of emotions. Humans tend to share their negative emotions with close others, and they benefit from it. I outline how this mechanism works in art reception by regulating and transforming negative emotions into positive experiences.
Tears evoke the intention to offer social support: A systematic investigation of the interpersonal effects of emotional crying across 41 countries
2021
Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in limited generalizability. This project examined the tears-social support intentions effect and possible mediating and moderating variables in a fully pre-registered study across 7007 participants (24,886 ratings) and 41 countries spanning all populated continents. Participants were prese…
