The situational version of the Brief Cope: Dimensionality and relationships with goal-related variables

2015

This study is aimed at investigating the dimensionality of the situational version of the Brief COPE, a questionnaire that is frequently used to assess a broad range of coping responses to specific difficulties, by comparing five different factor models highlighted in previous studies. It also aimed at exploring the relationships among coping responses, personal goal commitment and progress. The study involved 606 adults (male = 289) ranging in age from 19 to 71. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we compared five models and assessed relationships of coping responses with goal commitment and progress. The results confirmed the theoretical factor structure of the situational Brief COPE. All…

Marte Meo as a port of entry to parental sensitivity - a three–case study

2019

Abstract Background Early parent- child relations play an important role in children’s development. Therapeutic intervention towards infants and toddlers at high-risk intends to prevent mental health problems. In this work, the parent-child-dyad is crucial. The video interaction guidance method, Marte Meo, is one among different methods used in attachment-based treatment in an outpatient infant mental health clinic. Parental sensitivity towards infants and toddlers needs is considered significant in developing secure attachment. Secure attachment is further considered decisive for mental health and the extent to which children are at risk of developing mental health problems. Different trea…

Service quality from the point of view of people with intellectual disability: relationships with its satisfaction and wellbeing

2017

Service quality in centers for individuals with intellectual disability plays an important role in their satisfaction and well-being. However, the perspective of in- dividuals with intellectual disability has been relatively neglected in previous research studies. For this reason, the current study aims to analyze service quality (functional, relational, and tangibles) considering the point of view of individuals with intellectual disability, and its links to satisfaction with the center and subjective well-being. The sample was composed of 786 subjects with intellectual disability who were using different types of centers (day-care services, occupational services, and residential services)…

Neuroticism and Fear of COVID-19. The Interplay Between Boredom, Fantasy Engagement, and Perceived Control Over Time

2020

The Italian government adopted measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection from 9 March 2020 to 4 May 2020 and imposed a phase of social distancing and self-isolation to all adult citizens. Although justified and necessary, psychologists question the impact of this process of COVID-19 isolation on the mental health of the population (e.g., Lee, Jobe & Matis, 2020). Hence, this paper investigated the relationship between neuroticism, boredom, fantasy engagement, perceived control over time, and the fear of COVID-19. Specifically, we performed a cross-sectional study aimed at testing an integrative moderated mediation model. Our model assigned the boredom to the mediation role, and b…

COMPULSIVE BUYING AND ELDERLY MEN: DEPRESSION, COPING STRATEGIES AND SOCIAL SUPPORT

2014

Old age is characterized by great changes that become real challenges that the person must overcome in order to effectively end his evolutionary process. Particulary, the most stressful events for the elderly are the social economic decline, the deterioration of health and the loss of loved ones. It is therefore important to consider the strategies chosen by the elderly person to cope with such tasks; these strategies, if not effective, result in a developmental failure. The objective of this research was to analyze the relantionship among geriatric depression, coping strategies and levels of problematic shopping in elderly male subjects. The research involved 120 men over 60’. The choice o…

Vivere con una deturpazione fisica: conseguenze psicologiche e strategie di adattamento.

2013

Subjects with a congenital or acquired physical disfigurement have to cope with specific challenges related to self-perception and social relationships. Research into the objective severity of disfigurement and the quality of the subject’s psychosocial regulation revealed a non-linear and non-univocal correlation between these two variables. This review analyses factors that influence adjustment in cases of disfigurement: personal history, phase of life cycle, social support and coping strategies. From a clinical perspective it is stressed how attention to the psychological dimension increases the effectiveness of different types of psychological, educational and medical intervention.

La coppia sterile tra lutto, coping e resilienza

2011

L'articolo fornisce una panoramica delle implicazioni psicologiche e sociali dell'infertilitŕ sulla coppia. Con unsull'evoluzione dell'attuale comprensione teorica in questo settore, le autrici esplorano i vissuti di coppia di fronte alla sterilitŕ, tenendo conto delle differenze di genere e dell'impatto che l'impossibilitŕ a generare produce sulla relazione, in bilico tra lo sgretolamento ed il rafforzamento del legame. Vengono analizzati sia gli effetti di alcune strategie di coping, che appaiono adattive per uno dei partner, ma che risultano causa di stress e depressione per l'altro e, dunque, sinonimo di un basso adattamento coniugale; sia le strategie di coping piů funzionali, quali la…
