Parental warmth and socio-emotional adjustment in Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Italian children: A cross-cultural perspective
2008
The primary purpose of the study was to investigate the role of cultural context in shaping parental warmth and its linkages with children’s socio-emotional adjustment in Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Italian children. We were interested in several specific issues including (1) whether there were cross-cultural differences in parental warmth among the samples, and (2) whether the relations between parental acceptance-rejection and child outcomes were similar across cultures. In addition, we were interested in whether children perceived mothers and fathers differently with respect to the provision of warmth, and whether maternal warmth and paternal warmth made differential contributions t…
Parenting beliefs and behaviors: Initial findings from the International Consortium for the Study of Social and Emotional Development (ICSSED)
2006
The chapter is focused on the ways by which cultures impart meanings to behavior and determine how individuals (i.e. parents and peers) perceive, evaluate and react to behavior, regulating, at the same time, its developmental process. Specifically, the behavior under examination is behavioral inhibition defined as a pattern of responding or behaving such that when unfamiliar and/or challenging situation are encountered, the child show signs of reactive anxiety, distress or disorganization and the child has difficulties to calm down. Data were collected in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Italy, India and Korea. The goal of the study was to explore cultural differences among countries regar…
Mothering, fathering, and Italian adolescents' problem behaviors and life satisfaction: Dimensional and typological approach
2013
In this study, we explored the relationship between mothering, fathering and Italian adolescents’ problem behaviors and life satisfaction by using both typological and dimensional approaches. From a typological perspective, we examined variations in adolescent adjustment as a function of maternal and paternal parenting styles. From a dimensional perspective, we examined the relationships between crucial dimensions of perceived mothering and fathering (acceptance and strictness) and their contribution to adolescents’ adjustment, for girls and boys separately. A total of 213 adolescents (99 boys and 114 girls), aged from 14 to 16 years of age, completed self-report measures on perceived paren…
Overparenting hurts me: how does it affect offspring psychological outcomes?
2021
This review focuses on a peculiar typology of parenting characterized by overprotection, overinvolvement, overcontrol and an excess of entanglement; academic literature refers to this parenting style with the term overparenting or helicopter parenting. An in-depth description of overparenting constitutes the first part of this review. The second part of this review reports empirical evidence regarding the effects of overparenting on offspring psychological outcomes with particular regard to internalizing and externalizing disorders, coping strategies and dysfunctional personality traits. Depression and anxiety symptoms are frequently exhibited in offspring exposed to overparenting, as well …
L’esperienza della maternità in adolescenza e le azioni di supporto al benessere psicologico e sociale
2015
Lo scopo del presente lavoro è analizzare l’adattamento alla gravidanza e al ruolo genitoriale in adolescenza, presentando una panoramica delle recenti ricerche che ne hanno approfondito le conseguenze sullo sviluppo di madre e bambino. Muovendo dal rilievo dei costi psicosociali della genitorialità precoce, sono descritti, inoltre, i programmi di prevenzione che possono ridurre l’iniziazione ai comportamenti sessuali, aumentare l’uso dei contraccettivi e diminuire le gravidanze precoci nelle adolescenti e alcune strategie di intervento a sostegno della genitorialità, finalizzate a rafforzare la rete di protezione nei confronti delle giovani mamme.
Trasmissione intergenerazionale dell’attaccamento in casi di donne con partner violenti: Uno studio pilota.
2015
Early negative experiences could facilitate the formation of insecure internal working models and could deteriorate symbolic competence; in adulthood, attachment style could affect partner’s choice and parenting function. Current research on attachment intergenerational transmission shows that exposure to domestic violence is associated to maladaptive outcome in children. In order to give evidence to intergenerational con- tinuity of attachment we analyzed early traumatic experiences and attachment styles in a group of five family units, who were living in a Safe House for women and chil- dren escaped from domestic violence. The Adult Attachment Interview was adminis- tered to five mothers,…
Il disturbo da gioco d'azzardo: la dipendenza patologica come patologia della relazione
2020
Gambling disorder is placed in DSM-5 among addictive disorders in the subsection of “non-substance-related disorders”, defining it as «persistent and recurrent problematic gambling behavior leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, in a 12-month period» (APA, 2013). The aim of this paper, through a review of the literature and a description of a clinical case, is to highlight the relational aspect of the GAP disorder by describing different forms of “relationship pathology” among its main effects. National and international literature highlights how the gambling represents a traumatic family experience, that involves all the systems of the player life with both human and soc…
Coparenting in coppie omo ed eterogenitoriali: una ricerca esplorativa sull'autoefficacia e gli stili educativi
2017
Le molteplici configurazioni familiari, alternative al modello tradizionale, testimoniano le complesse trasformazioni che, da alcuni decenni, interessano la famiglia. Una pluralità di conformazioni tra loro differenti che sfuggono spesso alla comprensione dei più conservatori (Garro e Salerno, 2014). La famiglia omoparentale, “tra tutte” oggetto di attenzione della ricerca psicologica negli ultimi 30 anni, così come il progetto genitoriale in essa presente, rappresentano tematiche fortemente dibattute (P rati e Pietrantoni, 2008); e ciò perché, nello specifico, essa implica il riconoscimento non solo della coppia di fatto (e omosessu ale), a livello giuridico e sociale, ma anche de l di rit…
Genitori e figli in rete. Strategie di digital parenting
2019
La ricerca su “Abitudini e stili di vita dei ragazzi e delle ragazze a Palermo”, tenendo sullo sfondo il tema della povertà educativa, si è mossa sostenendo l’ipotesi che analizzando gli stili di consumo culturale e mediale, di fruizione del tempo libero, e altri indicatori specifici, sia possibile fornire una definizione più ampia e complessa di povertà educativa, come molta della più recente letteratura sull’argomento sta peraltro già sostenendo . Se, per esempio, definiamo la povertà educativa come «insieme complesso di fattori che generano il mancato o limitato accesso a istruzione e formazione nonché alle opportunità di apprendimento nel corso della vita, al pieno esercizio della citta…
