Victimization and Peer and Parents Attachment: The Mediating Effect of Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy
2021
Studies of the Spanish adolescent population has concluded that victimization is related to lack of emotional regulation and impulse control.

A Revised Short Form of the Extended Class Play Among Italian Early Adolescents
2019
Among the measures assessing peer reputation, the Extended Class Play (ECP) is now used extensively in North American settings. Little information is available in other cultural contexts. Furthermore, practical considerations suggest developing a shorter form of the ECP to be used in socio-educational environments. This study examined the ECP dimensions of peer assessment in Italy as well as developed a shorter form of the measure. We revised the ECP using factor analyses according to an explorative-confirmatory approach. The original 37-item ECP was shortened to a 22-item version and, subsequently, the properties of the revised measure were evaluated. We performed two studies comprising, r…

The findings are discussed with the con…
