Coping With Relationship Stressors: A Decade Review
2011
This review identifies key issues in research on adolescent coping with stress with parents, friends, and romantic partners during the past decade. An analysis of 78 studies revealed findings on relationship stressors and the potential links between the use of different coping styles for different relationship types. Research has confirmed consistent gender differences in dealing with relationship stress and shown how individual factors (e.g., personality factors and attachment style) contribute to variations in stress perception and coping styles. Implications for prevention and intervention are identified and suggestions are made for future research, particularly with respect to complex a…
Beyond the Family and the Household: Occupational Family Networks
2009
Although families and kinship have been studied extensively from a historical perspective, less attention has been paid to their significance and role in the formation of local social networks.This study makes use of extensive Finnish records of godparentage to map local networks to analyze the factors (kinship, work relations, neighborhood, friendship) that influenced their formation. It argues that, in the context of a closed industrial community, occupation and kinship were the major cornerstones of these networks. Only after work-related inequality was slowly eliminated in the early twentieth century did kinship begin to gain ground as the main influencing factor.
Pedagogia dell'amicizia adolescenziale. Verità e metodologia educativa
2009
Fin dall’età adolescenziale l’amicizia autentica si cela dietro il ventaglio di virtù del cuore e dell’intelligenza del vero amico. Per questo, essa è «immagine esteriore di una realtà interiore»: della coscienza, in cui si costituisce e si mantiene, sulla scorta dei significati delle emozioni, degli affetti e dei sentimenti condivisi, come «distinta essenza etica». L’intenzionalità educativa ha la capacità di orientare le azioni dell’educatore in direzione dell’“amicalità”, che egli deve forgiare nell’educando innanzitutto con il suo esempio di una vita amicale vera e, al contempo, con l’educazione delle sei virtù che costituiscono l’essere amicale autentico. Solo così forse possono nascer…
Dalle Cronache del mal d’amore al ciclo dell’Amica geniale: continuità ed evoluzione nella narrativa di Elena Ferrante
2019
The paper analyzes the whole narrative production of Elena Ferrante, emphasizing its unity and cohesion. Cohesion coexists with discontinuity: the publication of My Brilliant Friend marks an inventive turning point and reveals new strategies. But it’s even remarkable Ferrante’s predilection for a narrative in which «the flow of storytelling that despite its density manages to sweep you away».
Predicting who fails to meet the physical activity guideline in pregnancy: a prospective study of objectively recorded physical activity in a populat…
2016
Background A low physical activity (PA) level in pregnancy is associated with several adverse health outcomes. Early identification of pregnant women at risk of physical inactivity could inform strategies to promote PA, but no studies so far have presented attempts to develop prognostic models for low PA in pregnancy. Based on moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) objectively recorded in mid/late pregnancy, our objectives were to describe MVPA levels and compliance with the PA guideline (≥150 MVPA minutes/week), and to develop a prognostic model for non-compliance with the PA guideline. Methods From a multi-ethnic population-based cohort, we analysed data from 555 women with MVPA recorde…

Identitetens uppklarnande och kulturvärden
1987
Pulkkinen, L.: Identity achievement and cultural values. Nordisk Psykologi, 1987, 39 (3), 186–202. Relationships between identity achievement and cultural values were studied with 240 young adults. A questionnaire contained a scale for Identity Achievement modified from Crotevant & Adams' (1984) EOM-EIS and questions concerning the importance of various values (e.g. religious, scientific) for one's life, and expectations about and fears of the future. LISREL analyses revealed that Identity Achievement was divided into two components, ethical (friendship, religion) and functional identity (sex roles, politics), rather than ideological and interpersonal identity suggested by Grotevant and Ada…
La amistad y el amor en el epistolario de Séneca
2008
Joaquin.Beltran@uv.es El motivo por el que nos hemos decidido a estudiar en un mismo trabajo la amistad y el amor no es otro que histórico, por la conocida ambigüedad en la que se movían los primitivos filósofos griegos y, además, para llegar a saber la posición concreta de Séneca. Ello nos ha llevado a intentar codificar su pensamiento sobre la amistad y el amor en relación, sobre todo, con Aristóteles y Cicerón. Así, hemos intentado demostrar que Séneca ha unido a los conceptos de amistad e incluso amor otras ideas nuevas, que le dan un aire diferente, como la de solidaridad, asociación o sociedad, y que nos inducen a pensar en una definición afirmativa y muy positiva de la amistad frente…
Life Satisfaction and Psychological Distress of African Immigrants in Italy and Spain: the protective role of social support and sense of community
2021
This article analyzes whether migrants’ distress factors are reduced, and life satisfaction increased by the sense of community and support from friendship or family networks, with age and length of residence serving as co-variables. Host country, gender, migration (economic/non-economic), employment (employed/unemployed) and legal status (regulated/unregulated) were all treated as moderating variables. We tested this theoretical model in two samples of African immigrants residing in Palermo (Italy) and Malaga (Spain), confirming the predictive capacity of the independent variables. Interesting results emerged relating to the effects of length of residence, employment status and support fro…
