Educating adolescents in friendship

2015

L'amicizia, in quanto tale, non si insegna, si possono però aiutare gli adolescenti ad acquisire quelle virtù che essi stessi mostrano di voler vivere quotidianamente nelle loro relazioni amicali vissute "vis a vis". Gli educatori, "in primis" i genitori e gli insegnanti, possono in tal senso educare gli adolescenti all'amicizia, innanzitutto dando loro un "buon esempio" di vita amicale. Poiché l'amicizia - come ogni legame intimo - è una relazione sociale particolarmente vincolata al "modo" in cui le persone comunicano tra loro, la possibilità di educare all'amicizia gli adolescenti di oggi dipende innanzitutto dal realizzarsi di una condizione ineludibile e necessaria: che gli educatori a…

The aim of this research is to offer evidence on the psychometric properties of the MBI-GS for its use in the Dominican Republic and other Caribbea…
