Sviluppare la professionalità educativa attraverso i linguaggi artistico-espressivi: un modello di formazione in servizio per il personale dei nidi c…
2016
L'articolo tratta principalmente due temi: la funzione dei linguaggi artistico-espressivi nella formazione degli educatori per l’infanzia e le modalità di intervento possibili all’interno dei servizi educativi ai fini di un apprendimento significativo degli operatori. Facendo riferimento alla specificità della relazione adulto-bambino e alla rilevanza delle componenti non verbali nell’interazione, analizza le dimensioni coinvolte in un percorso formativo centrato sui linguaggi artistico-espressivi considerando anche gli aspetti creativi ed emotivo-affettivi. Un tale percorso permette, infatti, di integrare le diverse parti di sé (mente, corpo, pensiero, emozioni, sensazioni….) e di riconosc…
Luokanopettajien empaattisuus ja sen yhteydet työssä koettuun myötätuntouupumukseen sekä myötätuntotyytyväisyyteen
2011
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin luokanopettajien itsearvioinneissaan ilmaisemaa empaattisuuden tasoa ja sitä, eroavatko naiset ja miehet toisistaan empatian suhteen. Lisäksi tutkittiin opettajien työssään kokemaa myötätuntouupumusta, joka tässä tutkimuksessa koostuu työuupumuksesta ja sekundaarista traumaattisesta stressistä, sekä myötätuntotyytyväisyyttä. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin myös empatian yhteyttä näihin ilmiöihin. Taustatekijät (sukupuoli, työssäolovuodet, työmäärä, lomautus) huomioitiin ilmiöiden tarkastelussa. Myötätuntouupumusta ja -tyytyväisyyttä opettajien keskuudessa on aikaisemmin tutkittu hyvin vähän ja kyseessä on nuori tutkimusala myös kansainvälisellä tasolla. Aineisto (N = 1…
Maladaptive music listening strategies are modulated by individual traits
2022
Music listening is a great resource for mental well-being, pleasure, and self-regulation, but it may also be maladaptive. Depression, for instance, has been shown to relate to music use that is characterized by rumination, avoidance, and mood worsening. However, we know little of the role of individual differences in such maladaptive music use. Hence, this study focused on examining the role of personality, empathic traits, emotional contagion, and the types of musical reward as predictors of maladaptive music listening. Participants ( N = 318) answered an online survey comprising measures for the abovementioned traits in addition to the Healthy-Unhealthy Music Scale (HUMS) as a measure of…
Archaeometric Characterisation of Decorated Pottery from the Archaeological Site of Villa dei Quintili (Rome, Italy): Preliminary Study
2019
This work focused on the study of decorated pottery dated back to the 16th century from the Roman archaeological site of Villa dei Quintili, a monumental complex located in the south-eastern part of Rome (Italy). A minero-petrographic and geochemical study was undertaken to analyse five archaeological samples in order to define textural features and raw materials used for their production, along with the chemical and physical composition of the superficial decorative glazed coatings. For this purpose, different analytical methods were used, such as polarising optical microscope (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-Ray fluorescence (XRF), and electron microprobe analys…
Decision-making Styles in Adolescent Offenders and Non-offenders: Effects of Emotional Intelligence and Empathy
2021
The literature indicates that adolescents with delinquent behavior have greater difficulty making rational decisions and show lower emotional intelligence and empathy. Decision-making is a set of complex processes associated with neurobiological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors which help regulate and guide behavior, which could be influenced by emotional intelligence and empathy. A comparative, correlational, and predictive study was conducted to analyze relationships and influence of emotional intelligence and empathy in decision-making styles in adolescent offenders and non-offenders. 808 Colombian adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age participated (50p offenders). The resu…
Prosocial reasoning and emotions in young offenders and non-offenders
2017
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyse the cognitive processes (prosocial moral reasoning, perspective taking) and emotional processes (empathic concern, emotional instability, state-trait anger) which interact in predicting aggressive behaviour and prosocial behaviour of adolescents who have committed a crime and those who have not, for the purpose of establishing the predictor variables in both groups. Participants were 440 adolescents, 220 of them young offenders residing in four youth detention centres in Valencia, in which they were serving court sentences (67.3% men and 32.7% women). The other 220 were enrolled in public and private schools within the metropolitan area of Valen…
Male Police Officers’ Law Enforcement Preferences In Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Versus Non-Intimate Interpersonal Violence
2014
This article explores male police officers’ law enforcement preferences across different scenarios of interpersonal violence, involving intimate (partner violence against women) and non-intimate relationships (between- and within-gender). The influence of police officers’ sexist attitudes and empathy on their law enforcement preferences was also analyzed within and across these scenarios. The sample consisted of 308 male police officers. Results showed that police officers prefer a stronger and unconditional law enforcement approach in cases of violence against women, both in intimate and non-intimate relationships. Benevolent sexism was linked to a preference for a more conditional law en…
Ambivalent sexism, empathy and law enforcement attitudes towards partner violence against women among male police officers
2013
Police attitudes towards partner violence against women (PVAW) can play an important role in their evaluation and responses to this type of violence. The present study aims to examine ambivalent sexism and empathy as determinants of male police officers' law enforcement attitudes towards PVAW. The study sample was composed by 404 male police officers. Results suggested that male police officers scoring low in benevolent sexism expressed a general preference for unconditional law enforcement (i.e. regardless of the victim's willingness to press charges against the offender), whereas those scoring high in benevolent sexism expressed a preference for conditional law enforcement (i.e. depending…
Tackling bullying: Victimized by peers as a pupil, an effective intervener as a teacher?
2009
Abstract The present study focuses on student teachers as a prospective special resource in the prevention of school bullying in the course of their future professional careers. Special attention is paid to the influence the respondents' own childhood experiences of bullying may have in this regard. To investigate this question, we assessed the respondents' estimations of the level of empathy they felt towards the victims of bullying, the degree of effort they made to prevent bullying, and their ability to identify it. Further, an attempt to assess the long-term consequences of bullying was made, using two different communicative indices: the willingness to communicate and self-perceived co…
Effects of Intranasal Oxytocin on Emotion Regulation in Insecure Adolescents: Study Protocol for a Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
2016
Background: Emotional dysregulation and impaired attachment are potential contributors to the development of psychopathology in adolescence. This raises the question of whether oxytocin (OT), the paradigmatic “attachment hormone,” may be beneficial in such contexts. Recent evidence suggests that intranasal administration of OT increases affiliative behavior, including trust and empathy. OT may also facilitate social reciprocity by attenuating the stress response to interpersonal conflict. To date, few studies have investigated the effects of intranasal oxytocin (IN-OT) on neurophysiological emotion regulation strategies in healthy adolescents, particularly during parent-adolescent interacti…
