Optimism mediates the relationships between meaning in life and subjective and psychological well-being among late adolescents
2018
BackgroundThe concepts of meaning in life and well-being appear to have structural and functional connections, which become even more noticeable when examining their role in individuals’ daily functioning. One of the prospective variables which can play a mediational role between meaning in life and subjective and psychological well-being may be optimism, which also holds an important motivational value for young people. The aim of this study was to examine the predictive value of meaning in life and optimism, and indirect effects between meaning in life and subjective and psychological well-being among Polish late adoles-cents within the self-concordant model.Participants and procedureA to…
Siamo l'esercito del Selfie e non abbiamo più contatti
2017
Le tecnologie mobili influenzano profondamente il modo di pensare e di organizzare il sapere: tendenze, potenzialità e criticità. Le persone sviluppano un’adeguata concezione dei processi cognitivi implicati dagli strumenti multimediali e sono in grado di controllare tali processi in maniera funzionale. L'utilizzo di social media online, come Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, ecc., Sta diventando un fenomeno psicologico e sociale. Oltre il 55 per cento dei "Millennials" hanno preso un selfie e lo hanno condiviso sui social media e oltre 93 milioni di selfies vengono utilizzati ogni giorno con il rischio di condurre all'ossessione. Il Selfie è un'attività non così nuova ma popolare nella cultura …
Constructive Leisure as a Strategy For Adolescents Integration in Conflict with the Law
2014
Las actividades de ocio deben representar por sí mismas, acciones educativas con capacidad de conquistar el espacio cotidiano de los nuevos tiempos. Además, se establecen como actividades constructivas en el tránsito hacia la madurez capaces de enlazar prácticas educativas con lúdicas. Cuando se producen fracturas entre estas dos dimensiones (aprendizaje y diversión), pueden generarse espacios sobre los que las actividades orientadas al recreo constituyan en si mismas un riesgo asociado a las propias dinámicas adolescentes. La alerta surge si estos períodos acaban por esconder otras actividades desviadas que, representadas en el espacio cotidiano, transformen rutinas lúdicas en habituales p…
The Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure – Revised (MEIM-R): Psychometric evaluation with adolescents from diverse ethnocultural groups in Italy
2017
The Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure – Revised (MEIM-R) is an extensively used questionnaire assessing ethnic identity. However, studies on its measurement characteristics in the European context are lacking. The current study addressed this gap by investigating the MEIM-R psychometric proprieties across multiple ethnocultural groups in Italy. Participants were 1445 adolescents (13–18 years) of Italian, East European, and North African origin. Results showed that the MEIM-R has good internal consistency. Multigroup confirmatory factor analyses revealed configural and metric invariance, i.e., an equal, correlated two-factor structure (ethnic identity exploration and commitment) and equal f…

Cognitive and personality variables as predictors of sexism against women in Spanish adolescents
2022
Previous research on the antecedents of sexism against women have not considered simultaneously the effects of sex, personality, and cognitive variables (need for closure and critical thinking disposition) in relation to sexism. We evaluated whether in adolescence, these indicators could predict sexist attitudes towards women using structural models. The sample comprised 709 Spanish high-school students (mean age = 16.79). 51.5% were female. Sex (being male), need for closure and critical thinking were the most relevant predictors of sexism. The disposition to think critically is as relevant as the motivational dimension of cognition (need for closure) to predict sexism. Multi-group struct…
Relationships Between Ethnic Identity, Ethnic Attitudes, and Acculturative Stress in Tunisian Individuals in Early and Middle Adolescence
2016
Framed from an integrative approach, the current article examined the associations between ethnic identity exploration (EIE), ethnic identity commitment (EIC), and acculturative stress by investigating the mediating role of ethnic attitudes (i.e., in-group favoritism and out-group derogation) in these relationships. Additionally, the moderating role of age was analyzed. A multiple-group path analysis was performed on data collected from 256 Tunisians in early and 248 in middle adolescence living in Italy, which is an interesting and understudied immigrant group characterized by similarities and differences with the host population. In younger adolescents, EIE and EIC were indirectly and po…

Anxiety in Older Adolescents at the Time of COVID-19
2020
Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is a catastrophic health risk, with psychological, emotional, social, and relational implications. From the early stages of the virus spread, the elderly population was identified as the most vulnerable, and health authorities have rightly focused on this frailer population. Conversely, less attention was given to the emotional and psychological dimensions of children and adolescents. Moreover, even though they were the subjects whose lives and health were at low risk, they, nevertheless, had to face a reality full of anxiety, fears, and uncertainties. The current study investigated the state of anxiety and emotional awareness in a sample of healthy older …
