Conspiracy beliefs, regulatory self-efficacy and compliance with COVID-19 health-related behaviors: The mediating role of moral disengagement
2022
Although recent studies on the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have highlighted the negative effects of moral disengagement on intentions to comply with COVID-19 containment measures, little is known about the mediating role of moral disengagement in the relationship between regulatory self-efficacy in complying with the containment measures, beliefs in conspiracy theories and compliance with COVID-19 health-related behaviors. Data were collected from 1164 young adults (women, N = 796; 68.4%; mean age 25.60 ± 4.40 years) who completed an online survey from 15th May to 22nd June 2021. Results of the multi-group path analyses indicated that higher beliefs in conspiracy theories were assoc…
Exploring the Protective Function of Positivity and Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy in Time of Pandemic COVID-19
2021
Despite several empirical studies on the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic that have highlighted its detrimental effect on individuals’ mental health, the identification of psychological factors that may moderate its impact on individuals’ behavior and well-being remains partly unexplored. The present study was conceived to examine the mediation role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy in the relationship between positivity and anxiety, depression, and perceived self-efficacy in complying with the containment measures to contrast the COVID-19 spread. Furthermore, the moderation role of age was tested. A sample of 1258 participants (64.2% women; Mage = 42.09, SD = 13…
Effects of school climate and teacher self-efficacy on job satisfaction of mostly STEM teachers: a structural multigroup invariance approach
2020
Abstract Background Identification and retention of effective teachers in STEM education play cardinal roles in teacher recruitment exercises worldwide. Studies on factors that characterize effective teachers have therefore gained popularity in recent times. Teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction and school climate are among other factors that have attracted global attention. Thus, proper understanding of the relations between these factors is equally important. The purpose of this study is to validate and cross-validate a model of direct/indirect effects of school climate and teacher self-efficacy on job satisfaction. Results The data used for the current study are extracted from a public…
Sense of coherence and psychological well-being in cardiac patients: Is the association mediated by self-efficacy?

All participants were patients admitted to the cardiology department with coronary heart disease and undergoing medical interventions. All participants were aske…
Validation of Teacher Self-efficacy (QAI) Questionnaire
2021
Negli ultimi anni numerose ricerche nazionali e internazionali hanno messo in evidenza l’importanza della Teacher Self Efficacy. Nonostante nel panorama nazionale esistano già alcuni strumenti che indagano tale costrutto, si notano sovrapposizioni e divergenze nei diversi fattori presi in considerazione, quali ad esempio la percezione di autoefficacia relativa alla possibilità di agire sull’engagement degli studenti e sulla colla- borazione con la famiglia e altre figure professionali. Pertanto l’obiettivo del presente contributo consiste nella costruzione e validazione di un nuovo strumento che tenga conto di entrambi quest’ultimi aspetti. Lo strumento, costituito da 25 item, è stato so…
La escritura expresiva en la orientación. Una metodología educativa para la construcción del proyecto de vida personal y profesional
2020
La scrittura espressiva adottata a scuola come strumento di autorientamento dell’adolescente di 17-18 anni non sostituisce l’intervento educativo dell’insegnante, piuttosto può considerarsi una tecnica efficace per raccogliere tutte le informazioni necessarie con cui formare, con il consenso dell’alunno e insieme a lui, un quadro esaustivo in cui includere lo stato attuale delle sue competenze, le sue attitudini, i suoi interessi, le sue motivazioni, la sua storia formativa, il suo profilo di personalità, i suoi limiti, nonché i suoi obiettivi e le modalità concrete con cui egli pensa di raggiungerli. Essa è pertanto un metodo educativo con cui gli studenti che si approssimano a svolgere gl…

Principal self-efficacy and school climate as antecedents of collective teacher efficacy
2023
The importance of collective teacher efficacy (CTE) has been increasingly emphasised, but few studies have focused on how it can be enhanced. Since CTE is assumed to be related to factors that differ between schools, the belief-shaping sources of CTE could be related to principals’ beliefs of their efficacy. Moreover, a school climate that centralises teachers’ attempts to improve student learning could enhance CTE. This paper examines a proposed analytical model that links principal self-efficacy (PSE) to CTE, as mediated by the school climate. The model is tested via a multilevel analysis with data from 70 Finnish schools and 767 educators. The analysis revealed that PSE is partially and …
La Self-Efficacy del Docente Universitario in Situazione di Emergenza Covid-19
2021
Le convinzioni che i docenti universitari possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia dei loro studenti. La percezione di autoefficacia dei docenti nella didattica a distanza assume un ruolo ancora più importante in situazione di emergenza Covid-19. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 50 docenti universitari dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, rilevando l’eventuale incidenza di variabili quali le esperienze pregresse di insegnamento nell’ambito della didattica a distanza e l’autoefficacia nell’utilizzo di tecnologie didattiche. University teachers’ c…
