Profiles of mental well- and ill-being among elite athletes: Associations with sport-related demands and resources
2022
The aim of the present study was to identify profiles of elite athlete mental well- and ill-being and study how the profiles (i.e., subgroups of athletes) differed in sport-related demands and resources.

Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 2), 2004-2006
2007
In 1995-1996, the MacArthur Midlife Research Network carried out a national survey of 7,108 Americans aged 25 to 74 (MIDLIFE IN THE UNITED STATES (MIDUS), 1995-1996 [ICPSR 2760]). The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of behavioral, psychological, and social factors in understanding age-related differences in physical and mental health. The study was innovative for its broad scientific scope, its diverse samples (which included twins and the siblings of main sample respondents), and its creative use of in-depth assessments in key areas (e.g., daily stress and cognitive functioning). A description of the study and findings from it are available at http://www.midus.wisc.edu. Wi…

Coppie miste in Italia e in Spagna. Uno studio sui fattori che favoriscono il senso di comunità dei partner stranieri
2013
Lo scopo del presente contributo è stato quello di analizzare come l’identificazione etnica (ingroup ed outgroup) e la discriminazione percepita (come straniero o come partner di coppia mista) siano legati al senso di comunità (SdC) dei partner stranieri delle famiglie interculturali residenti in Spagna e in Italia. I risultati mostrano che in entrambi i gruppi l’identificazione con il proprio gruppo etnico-culturale non è associata al SdC. Inoltre, l’aumento della discriminazione percepita come coppia mista porta ad una diminuzione del senso di comunità e della soddisfazione di vita. The aim of this paper was to analyze how ethnic identification (ingroup and outgroup) and perceived discrim…
Le facteur « temps d’occupation » dans l’appréciation de son lieu de résidence
2019
National audience; Le temps d'occupation des logements ainsi que leur vacance sont des critères d'analyse auxquels on recourt pour étudier la rotation des ménages dans le parc résidentiel. On sait que le temps d'occupation des logements varie avec le statut d'occupation-les propriétaires ayant, en moyenne, les temps d'occupation les plus longs, mais aussi l'âge des individus ou leur statut familial (Conjoncture, 2015). En règle générale, la probabilité de déménager diminue avec l'âge et la stabilité du cadre familial, mais plus ou moins durablement. Quand les enfants grandissent, les ménages reconsidèrent leurs aspirations résidentielles compte tenu de celles de leurs enfants, ce qui rend p…

Affect in the Context of Self-Determination Theory
2018
Self-determination theory has been applied to understand the role of affect in motivation and behavior in health contexts. According to self-determination theory, autonomous forms of motivation, reflecting self-endorsed reasons for acting and the satisfaction of psychological needs, are related to participation and persistence in health behavior. Research examining the role of affect in determining health behavior from the perspective of the theory is relatively sparse. Affect has served as both an outcome and process in applications of the theory to health behavior. Positive affect and psychological well-being have been identified as important outcomes of participating in behaviors for aut…
