L’intelligenza emotiva: rassegna dei principali modelli teorici, degli strumenti di valutazione e dei primi risultati di ricerca.
2008
La rassegna prende in esame i diversi modelli teorici di intelligenza emotiva, che l’hanno definita ora come un insieme di tratti disposizionali (trait emotional intelligence), ora di abilità cognitivo-motivazionali (ability emotional intelligence). Vengono descritti inoltre gli strumenti di misurazione disponibili (scale self-report e test abilitybased) e commentati i risultati della letteratura scientifica sul rapporto tra intelligenza emotiva e qualità della vita, benessere, uccesso scolastico, accademico e lavorativo. Per le incongruenze e le controversie emerse nel panorama di ricerca si sottolinea la necessità di pervenire sia ad una definizione teorica condivisa del costrutto che a m…
The use of Technology in the promotion of Children's Emotional Intelligence: The multimedia program "Developing Emotional Intelligence"
2018
"Developing Emotional Intelligence” is an Italian language multimedia tool created for children between 8 and 12 years of age. The software is based on the four ‘branches’ of model of emotional intelligence proposed by Mayer and Salovey and aims to evaluate and improve abilities in perception of emotions; using emotion to facilitate thought; understanding emotions; and managing emotions. In the software, four characters represent the four branches of emotional intelligence and guide children through the ‘world of emotions’ using drawings, animations, music, sounds and verbal instructions. The software is comprised of two components, namely an assessment section (27 items) and a training sec…
The relation between emotional support, self-concept, and social functioning among school-aged children
2013
The study examined the relations between perceived emotional support from parents and peers, self-concept and social functioning among a sample of school-aged children. The study had three main purposes. Firstly, the study was aimed at evaluating the association between emotional support perceived from parents and peers, and self concept. Secondly, the study was aimed at inquiring the existence of different children’s profiles on the basis of the level of perceived emotional support from parents and peers, and their self-concept. Finally, the study was aimed at exploring any difference that could have emerged in their social functioning. The participants were 270 children (F = 137, M = 133)…
EMotional Intelligence And Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome In Children: Preliminary Case-Control Study
2017
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects up to 4% of pediatric population, with many co-morbidities in the medium-long term. Functional alterations in prefrontal cortex (PFC) may explain why OSAS impacts aspects such as: executive functions, memory, motor control, attention, visual-spatial skills, learning and mood regulation. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a complex neuropsychological function that could be impaired in many clinical conditions. Aim of the study is to evaluate the difference in emotional intelligence skills among children with OSAS and healthy subjects Materials and methods: 29 children (16 males) mean age 9.5 ± 1.54 years, affected by OSAS were compare…
The relationship between emotion regulation, emotion knowledge and adjustment in preschoolers: A mediation model.
2016
The study explored the total, direct and indirect effects of emotion knowledge on adjustment in preschoolers ans examined whether emotion regulation mediated the relationships between emotion knowledge and adjustment (social competence, and behavioral difficulties, such as anxiety–withdrawal and anger–aggression). Two hundred forty children (118 boys and 122 girls) from 3 to 5 years of age (mean age = 4.23, SD = .80) were administered a vocabulary test to check their verbal ability and a measure of emotion knowledge. Teachers filled out two questionnaires about children’s regulation and adjustment variables. A mediation model was tested combined with an assessment of the indirect effects to…
Emotions Course: l’esperienza di un intervento educativo per la promozione della competenza socio-emotiva nella scuola dell’infanzia
2017
L’esperienza qui presentata s’inserisce nell’ambito degli interventi condotti secondo un approccio evidencebased nella scuola dell’infanzia e riguarda la realizzazione dell’Emotions Course (EC; Di Maggio, Zappulla e Izard, 2014), un percorso educativo finalizzato alla promozione delle abilità socio-emotive in età prescolare. Il programma è stato elaborato facendo riferimento ai fondamenti e agli sviluppi della teoria differenziale delle emozioni, i cui principi sono stati «tradotti» in modo da formare le basi concettuali ed empiriche dell’intervento, articolato nell’ottica della prevenzione primaria e secondaria (Izard, 2002, 2009). In particolare, l’EC è stato applicato al fine di migliora…
The Contribution of Bullying Involvement and Alexithymia to Somatic Complaints in Preadolescents
2023
Somatic complaints during preadolescence are connected to individual and contextual factors, and extant research highlights the relevance of alexithymia and bullying involvement. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the joint and unique influence of bullying involvement—as perpetrators, victims, or outsiders—and alexithymia on somatic complaints in a sample of 179 Italian middle-school students (aged 11–15). Findings revealed an indirect association between bullying perpetration and victimization complaints through alexithymia. We also found a significant direct association between victimization and somatic complaints. No significant association between outsider beha…

The study investigates the relationship between perceived emotional intelligence, burnout, work engagement, and job satisfaction in 238 Italian school teachers. The mean age was 50 years, ranged from 26 to 66 (SD = 9.16).

Several international studies already demonstrated an association among these variables. Our resul…
INEMOTION - EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR DEVELOPING KEY COMPETENCES
2020
Modern societies of the 21st century are immersed in a growing complexity that implies great development and opportunities, but also certain costs and difficulties. Different studies that evaluate and compare the quality of life of both adults and children in different dimensions indicate that economic development, wealth and GDP are not always accompanied by similar levels of well-being and happiness. For example, a country like the United States with impressive levels of wealth and technological development has one of the lowest wellbeing rates in developed countries. Europe is not exempt from these contradictions and the population suffers serious physical and mental health problems, as …
La valutazione del temperamento infantile: osservazioni dirette e indirette delle espressioni emotive nel primo anno di vita
2016
Lo studio si propone di esaminare le differenze individuali nell’espressione delle emozioni di gioia, rabbia, interesse e paura e nel livello di attività di bambini nel primo anno di vita, utilizzando un approccio multi-metodo basato sull’utilizzo di uno strumento di osservazione diretta, la Lab-TAB (Goldsmith e Rothbart, 1999), e uno strumento di osservazione indiretta, il questionario IBQ-R (Montirosso, Cozzi, Putnam, Gartstein e Borgatti, 2011). I dati delle osservazioni dirette sono stati rilevati attraverso due diversi sistemi di codifica: molecolare e globale. Obiettivo dello studio è anche di verificare se i risultati ottenuti con i due sistemi di codifica delle osservazioni converga…
