The relation between socio-relational self-efficacy and work engagement in an Italian sample of social workers
2008
This study examined how much in social workers the confidence about perceived socio-relational competencies is related to work engagement. We used a questionnaire delevoped to assess the socio- relational self-efficacy (according to the Bandura’s theory), and the UWES (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003), a measure of work engagement, defined as a positive, fulfilling work-related state of mind. Subjects were interviewed in therapeutic commu- nities (for drug addicts, for abused women etc.) or family communities. It was found that some aspects of relational competence (like to feel able to understand others’ feelings) are strongly related to work engagement.
The Psychological Impact of Online Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic. A Survey on a Sample of Italian Undergraduates
2023
The COVID-19 pandemic created a risk to all educational system levels, ranging from primary to university grades, due to social restriction measures of isolation worldwide. Switching from the traditional educational system to Online Learning (OL) was challenging for many undergraduates due to the lack of Internet connectivity or digital devices and a suitable home study environment. Therefore, a survey study on a sample of 1069 undergraduates (78.5% female; Mage = 21.72; SD = 4.05) investigated the interrelation among psychological skills for managing learning habits and strategies, academic achievement, social interaction, and mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic was perform…
Conspiracy beliefs, regulatory self-efficacy and compliance with COVID-19 health-related behaviors: The mediating role of moral disengagement
2022
Although recent studies on the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have highlighted the negative effects of moral disengagement on intentions to comply with COVID-19 containment measures, little is known about the mediating role of moral disengagement in the relationship between regulatory self-efficacy in complying with the containment measures, beliefs in conspiracy theories and compliance with COVID-19 health-related behaviors. Data were collected from 1164 young adults (women, N = 796; 68.4%; mean age 25.60 ± 4.40 years) who completed an online survey from 15th May to 22nd June 2021. Results of the multi-group path analyses indicated that higher beliefs in conspiracy theories were assoc…
University students’ career resources and the associations with perceived career control and decisional self-efficacy
2022
In recent years, to better face university paths, the first approaches to the labor market, and then the actual transition, university students are asked to have broader skills, such as the ability to network, the involve- ment in career-related issues, and the ability to explore the characteristics of occupations as much as per- sonal ones. The aim of this study is to confirm the psychometric properties of the Italian translation of the Career Resources Questionnaire (Hirschi et al., 2018) and the relationships between its components and two outcomes, students’ perceived career control and decisional self-efficacy, among 311 university students. The results highlight differences in perceiv…
Adattabilità, benessere e ricerca attiva del lavoro nei giovani disoccupati
2015
I cambiamenti nel mondo del lavoro, sempre più spesso, chiedono alle persone di adattarsi a nuove realtà e di gestire più efficacemente il proprio sviluppo professionale. Su questa scia acquisisce notevole importanza il costrutto di career adaptability, che viene definita da Savickas e Porfeli (2012) come la propensione ad affrontare in modo adeguato i compiti evolutivi per prepararsi e partecipare al ruolo lavorativo, e ad adattarsi alle richieste impreviste dovute ai cambiamenti del mondo del lavoro e delle condizioni lavorative. Saper anticipare le evoluzioni future, fronteggiare le richieste in maniera vantaggiosa, realizzare il proprio sé in una realtà in costante cambiamento, sembrano…

La transizione all’età adulta nell’epoca post-moderna
2011
Il presente contributo si propone di esplorare il fenomeno della transizione alla vita adulta, soffermandosi, in particolare, sulla modalità con la quale i giovani affrontano i principali compiti evolutivi ponendo in rilevanza la complessità del percorso di separazione-individuazione dalla famiglia di origine, i loro progetti di vita, nonché, i timori e le fragilità sperimentate. A tale fine, è stata utilizzata l’intervista semistrutturata dal titolo “Esci dal guscio”, composta da 20 domande, che ha consentito di indagare le seguenti aree: la definizione di sé, l’indipendenza dalla famiglia di origine, gli eventi ritenuti marcatori del passaggio alla vita adulta, il sostegno so- ciale perce…
DCA e terapia psicodinamica di gruppo: uno studio process-outcome di tipo single case
2014
Lo studio prevede la valutazione longitudinale process-outcome di un gruppo terapeutico semi-aperto ad orientamento dinamico per pazienti con DCA. La terapia, della durata di 24 mesi, ha coinvolto 6 pazienti, di sesso femminile, di età media di 23 anni (ds=1.83; range=21-25). I risultati suggeriscono l’efficacia del dispositivo sia a livello sintomatologico che psicologico, relazionale ed emotivo, soprattutto nel trattamento di soggetti con sintomatologia bulimica; inoltre, ad una maggiore ritenzione in trattamento corrisponde un maggiore miglioramento negli outcome. Si riscontrano relazioni inverse fra il trend dell’alleanza e del coinvolgimento percepiti a livello del gruppo e quello del …
