Lay definitions of happiness across nations: The primacy of inner harmony and relational connectedness
2016
In well-being research the term happiness is often used as synonymous with life satisfaction. However, little is known about lay people's understanding of happiness. Building on the available literature, this study explored lay definitions of happiness across nations and cultural dimensions, analyzing their components and relationship with participants' demographic features. Participants were 2799 adults (age range = 30-60, 50% women) living in urban areas of Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Hungary, India, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, and United States. They completed the Eudaimonic and Hedonic Happiness Investigation (EHHI), reporting, among other information, th…
Il percorso temporale soggettuale come linea guida del macro-processo psicoanalitico
2022
L’autore, con il seguente scritto, propone una sua personale rivisitazione della lettura del processo psicoanalitico, partendo da un percorso soggettuale che si sviluppa a partire dalle prime relazioni con il caregiver, all’interno di un funzionamento generale dei sistemi dinamici complessi non lineari. Viene proposto, rispetto ad ogni passaggio (coscienza - coscienza della coscienza - creatività) come evoluzione del processo esposto precedentemente da Minolli (2015), la costruzione di un percorso temporale soggettuale all’interno dell’auto-(geno-feno)-organizzazione (Morin, 1980). Tale lettura del macro-processo (che interessa lunghi periodi del percorso analitico), dovrà essere successiva…
Comportamento aggressivo. Pregiudizi e discriminazione a scuola,
2020
Il comportamento aggressivo umano è rilevabile in differenti contesti, come quello scolastico, penitenziario, la strada, la famiglia, motivo per il quale in tale sede si presenterà una panoramica dei prevalenti risultati della ricerca che descrivono i fattori, individuali e ambientali, che possono incrementare la probabilità di manifestazioni aggressive. In tal modo si cercherà di rendere più agevole l’individuazione di interventi educativi idonei per determinati contesti come ad esempio quello scolastico, che si presenta sempre più multiculturale o comunque eterogeneo, e all’interno del quale sorgono facilmente incomprensioni, pregiudizi e intolleranze legate alle relazioni tra gruppi e ba…
The Fairness Principle, Reward, and Altruistic Behavior
2011
The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between reward and altruism. It was hypothesized that the altruistic behavior of someone who has been asked for help will occur only after the person asking for help has been evaluated. As a result, if the situation of a person asking for help is perceived as less fortunate, help will be given even if no proportional award is received in return, according to a principle based on need that makes people feel they should help the needy. Results show that when the participants received an unfair award, they tended to offer much bigger donations only in the condition in which the other was perceived as less fortunate.

High frequency rTMS over the left parietal lobule increases non-word reading accuracy
2012
Increasing evidence in the literature supports the usefulness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in studying reading processes. Two brain regions are primarily involved in phonological decoding: the left superior temporal gyrus (STG), which is associated with the auditory representation of spoken words, and the left inferior parietal lobe (IPL), which operates in phonological computation. This study aimed to clarify the specific contribution of IPL and STG to reading aloud and to evaluate the possibility of modulating healthy participants' task performance using high frequency repetitive TMS (hf-rTMS). The main finding is that hf-rTMS over the left IPL improves non-word reading accu…
Reading changes in children and adolescents with dyslexia after transcranial direct current stimulation.
2016
Noninvasive brain stimulation offers the possibility to induce changes in cortical excitability and it is an interesting option as a remediation tool for the treatment of developmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading and reading-related skills of children and adolescents with dyslexia. Nineteen children and adolescents with dyslexia performed different reading and reading-related tasks (word, nonword, and text reading; lexical decision; phonemic blending; verbal working memory; rapid automatized naming) in a baseline condition without tDCS and after 20 min of exposure to three different tDCS conditions: left …

Psicoterapia ed esperienza sonoro musicale attiva e ricettiva: uno studio su 16 soggetti con disturbo d'ansia
2008
studio su 16 pazienti con disturbo d'ansia diagnosticato secondo i criteri del DSM IV (sindrome da attacchi di panico, ansia generalizzata). alla pscitoerapia cognitivista sono stati associati specifici laboratori di musicoterapia, attraverso un protocollo standard. Sono stati monitorati i parametri psicofisiologici. I risultati confermano che esperienze sonoro musicali attive e ricettive contestualmente alla psicoterapia, promuovono una più veloce ed efficace azione terapeutica, documentata dalla variazione della soggettiva percezione d'ansia e dai parametri psicofisiologici
Recovery of aphasia: a case study with “dual” tdcs.
2011
Objectives. In the present study we used a “dual” tDCS (Vines et al., 2008; Giglia et al., 2011) training on inferior frontal gyrus’s (IFG) areas in order to improve the linguistic performance of EBE, an Italian female, left-handed, presenting a global aphasia following a stroke of right middle cerebral artery. Materials. For the picture naming task, 20 object and 20 action images, selected from a set of picture standardized for frequency, were presented on a paper sheet one at time. Method. Stimulation was used at 1mA for 15 minutes. Dual tDCS was given over both IFGs, cathode in the right (damaged areas) and anode in the left (preserved areas) daily for two weeks (weekend-free). The posit…
