The impact of adult attachment style on organizational commitment and adult attachment in the workplace
2015
International audience; Adult attachment style has only recently been considered as having a role in explaining work behavior. The present research aimed to explore the impact of adult attachment style, assessed by the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), on organizational commitment (OC) and on adult attachment in the workplace (AAW). We hypothesized that a secure attachment style would be positively related to affective and normative commitment, while preoccupied and avoidant styles would be negatively related to affective commitment; we also hypothesized that there would be a correspondence between the AAI categories and the AAW dimensions. Using the AAI categories as group variable, analys…
The need for recovery scale
2013
Abstract Introduction Need for Recovery scale is one of the main scales used to assess work-induced fatigue and quality of workers’ recovery time. In fact, need for recovery is considered relevant as a precursor of prolonged fatigue or psychological distress, an indicator of work stress, and a mediating or moderating characteristic in the etiology of work-related health problems, sick leave and work disability. Objective The purpose of the present study is to translate the Need for Recovery scale into Italian, and to adapt it to Italian culture; until now there has been no comparable valid instrument made for the Italian language that measures the need for recovery of employees. The stabili…

L'État britannique autoritaire - Le cas de la résistance à la dilution à Glasgow en 1915 -1916
2011
This paper presents the case of the resistance to dilution in workshops in and around Glasgow in 1915 and 1916. Dilution was devised by the British government as a way of reorganising the means of production in order to better suit the requirements of the war industry. The government resorted to several Acts of Parliament to implement dilution, censor the press and jail and/ or deport local shop stewards who engaged in a fierce movement of resistance. This short episode of the working class movement in the West of Scotland opposed the shop stewards not only to the British government and their employers but also to their official union representatives. Although it proved to be a failure, the…
Zadie Smith's autonomous writing commitments to E.M. Forster
2010
Though Zadie Smith has published only three novels so far, her fiction seems to follow some astonishing path from standard social commitment to the world to a more aesthetic and ideological commitment to Forster's Edwardian Howards End. In White Teeth Smith writes the story of today's multicultural London in a committed way, though soon enough her particular view of the past and its aftermath signals some tension between literature and history. The logic of chance and randomness provides a first hint of the autonomy of fiction for Smith: fiction allows the past and history “to have happened”. On Beauty may forget the world in the same ambiguous way as Howards End did, eventually more poetic…

Hugh MacDiarmid’s Poetics of Commitment: the Modern Stigmata of Bereavement
2016
In the 1930s, the lingering absence of God and of a stable reality engulfed the work of the poet Hugh MacDiarmid, leader of the Scottish Renaissance Movement. To counter this void, like many others at the time, MacDiarmid found refuge in communism and nationalism and started to write political and idealist poetry. In his poems, his political idealism comes into being in the association of reality and ideal, symbolised first by Jean and Sophia, the characters of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle (1926), and duplicated later in the fantasised image of Lenin, perfect blending of idea and action. Rejecting Sartre’s denial of the political effect poetry can have, the violence of MacDiarmid’s work…
Forced Compliance, Double Forced Compliance and Experimental Dynamics in Social Representations
2007
The present article deals with changes in the subjects’ social representation of a topic (i.e. how they think about “studying at a school”) due to their single or double forced compliance in a counter-attitudinal direction. The single forced compliance was manipulated in two ways, first by having the subjects write an essay (Study 1), and second by having them hold a speech (Study 2). The double forced compliance consisted of having the subject write an essay plus hold a speech (Study 3). The changes in social representation were assessed at two levels, first at the level of the subjects’ responses to a questionnaire (some items of which had central and other items had peripherical meanings…
Effects of an Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention on Children’s Quality of Life
2022
AbstractThe present study examined if an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)–based online intervention for parents had indirect effects on their children’s quality of life mediated by changes in parental well-being, psychological flexibility and mindfulness skills. Participants were 74 adults, who either received an ACT-based guided online intervention or were allocated to the wait list control group, and their children (n = 66) who had type 1 diabetes or functional disabilities. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and a bias-corrected bootstrap approach were applied to examine the indirect effects of the treatment on children’s quality of life through changes in parents’ well-being and …
