Migranti, diritti umani e democrazia. Dalla conoscenza all'integrazione
2014
Il multiculturalismo sembra essere, oramai, una condizione accertata,data l’alta incidenza di vari gruppi etnici che insistono su uno stesso territorio, ma siamo ancora lontani dal poter parlare di “multiculturalismo reale”. Ma se è in atto il processo di meticciato culturale, è pur vero che si registrano ancora oggi, sacche di resistenza, quando non addirittura di rifiuto, degli immigrati, con manifestazioni di xenofobia e di vero e proprio “razzismo”, sia a livello politico che da parte della società accogliente. Tramite la conoscenza è possibile acquisire quegli strumenti che, lungi dall’essere proprietà esclusiva degli operatori socio–culturali, favoriscono un ridimensionamento della di…
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRE-ADOLESCENT IMMIGRANTS OF SECOND GENERATION

Acculturation profiles, psychosocial adaptation and perceived discrimination among Tunisian adolescents
2014
The study refers to data coming from the Italian section of MIRIPS project. It was focused on the analysis of the adaptation of Tunisian adolescents living in Italy and it was guided by the integration hypothesis, stating that migrants feel better if they are engaged in both their own culture and that of the larger society than if they engage in one or the other culture only. Using a person-oriented approach, the study investigated the relationships between acculturation profiles - namely patterns of relations between factors associated to the acculturation process (e.g., acculturation strategies, ethnic and national identities, ethnic and national language use, social contacts with people …

Immigrant and Autochthonous Young Adults in Italy: Intercultural Profiles, Psychosocial Adjustment and Mutual Attitudes
2012
In the last two decades, Italy had to deal with a rapid immigrant population increase. This change in “plural” society is characterized by deep-rooted disagreements that sometimes are even source of conflicts. For these reasons, there is the need to foster the scientific research in the field of intercultural relations in order to overcome conflicts among acculturating groups, especially during a period of economic recession characterized by a renewal in unemployment rates. From this perspective, both psychology of immigration and developmental psychology have begun to contribute to an understanding of those factors underlying the management of intercultural relations during life-course.

Louseborne relapsing fever in young migrants, sicily, Italy, july-september 2015
2016
To the Editor: During the early 20th century, at the end of World War I, and during World War II, louseborne relapsing fever (LBRF) caused by Borrelia recurrentis was a major public health problem, especially in eastern Europe and northern Africa (1,2). Currently, poor living conditions, famine, war, and refugee camps are major risk factors for epidemics of LBRF in resource-poor countries, such as those in the Horn of Africa (3,4). Increased migration from resource-poor countries and war/violence create new routes for spread of vectorborne diseases. Recently, several cases of LBRF have been reported among asylum seekers from Eritrea in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany (5–8). All of…
