Psychometric properties on a romantic love myths scale: The case of the myths, fallacies and erroneous beliefs about the ideal of romantic love scale
2021
Understanding the construct of romantic love is an important task in societies all around the world. However, instruments designed to assess this construct are scarce and most of them were developed more than a decade ago. De la Peña, Ramos, Luzón, and Recio (2011) proposed the Myths, Fallacies and Erroneous Beliefs about the Ideal of Romantic Love Scale. In this current study we provide the psychometric properties of this scale in a representative sample of adolescents. The analytic strategy included both Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. We achieved a best-factor structure using a unidimensional model of romantic beliefs which also had an adequate estimated rel…
Valutazione delle funzioni esecutive in ambienti di Realtà Virtuale (RV): uno studio sui pazienti con Disturbo Ossessivo Compulsivo
2014
Lo studio è volto a valutare l'affidabilità e la validità della Realtà Virtuale come strumento per la valutazione neuropsicologica dei pazienti con Disturbo Ossessivo Compulsivo. Tale obiettivo è stato perseguito attraverso la somministrazione della batteria neuropsicologica e la versione virtuale del Multiple Errand Test (V-MET), sviluppato tramite il software NeuroVR, al fine di valutare le funzioni esecutive e la capacità di pianificazione su compiti complessi in pazienti con Disturbo Ossessivo Compulsivo (DOC) e in soggetti sani. Le performance esaminate, in particolar modo il tempo, l’accuratezza e gli errori nell’esecuzione dei compiti ed il numero delle inefficienze sembrano essere v…

Community detection‐based deep neural network architectures: A fully automated framework based on Likert‐scale data.
2020
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have emerged as a state‐of‐the‐art tool in very different research fields due to its adaptive power to the decision space since they do not presuppose any linear relationship between data. Some of the main disadvantages of these trending models are that the choice of the network underlying architecture profoundly influences the performance of the model and that the architecture design requires prior knowledge of the field of study. The use of questionnaires is hugely extended in social/behavioral sciences. The main contribution of this work is to automate the process of a DNN architecture design by using an agglomerative hierarchical algorithm that mimics the con…
The Italian version of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ): psychometric properties and a contribution to validation on students, communit…
2017
The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Italian validation of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ), conceived as a measure of self-criticism and dependency, i.e. two personality factors acting, according to Blatt (2004), as risk factors for depression in particular and psychopathology in general. A series of standardized measures [Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), DEQ, Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 3rd edition (MCMI-III)] was administered to three samples (i.e., students, community and clinical). Factorial validity was evaluated along with convergent and predictive validity. In order to evaluate the reliability…
LA VALUTAZIONE DELLE PROPRIE COMPETENZE SOCIO-RELAZIONALI NEI LAVORATORI DEL SOCIALE: UNO STRUMENTO DI INDAGINE
2009
Coloro i quali hanno maturato una esperienza, anche piccola, presso una struttura di assistenza sociale e di cura, sanno quanto sia importante che gli operatori che la compongono siano dotati di alcune competenze che caratterizzano tale mestiere. Ci riferiamo alle cosiddette competenze sociali e relazionali, che unite alle conoscenze teoriche ed applicative completano il quadro delle richieste dell’ambiente lavorativo in questione. Il possesso di tali competenze consente il doppio vantaggio di agire correttamente con la propria utenza nell’erogare l’aiuto di cui necessita, e allo stesso tempo di preservare il lavoratore stesso da stati di forte stress legati ad una mansione che, senza gli “…
The role of executive function in social competence and behavioral problems in the last year of preschool
2018
Diverse studies have found a relationship between executive function, behavioral problems and social competence. However, until this moment, few studies have investigated the role of the distinct components of executive function in social competence, or in the most frequently encountered behavioral problems in childhood education. For this reason, the principal objective of this article is to evaluate the relation of the exec-utive functions with behavioral problems and social competence in infancy. The study included 260 students in their last year of preschool. The results of path analysis showed that all components of executive functions predict, at least, a behavioral problem. However, …
Psychometric Properties of the “Alcohol Consumption Consequences Evaluation” (ACCE) Scale for Young Spanish University Students
2020
Instruments that evaluate alcohol use consequences among young people do not consider the intensive alcohol consumption pattern that is so characteristic during these ages. Some of these instruments are even ineffective in the Spanish population. Hence the interest in developing an instrument more adapted to the reality of our young people. A total of 601 university students (35.9% male and 64.1% female) from 18 to 20 years old were recruited. All of them answered a total of 77 items obtained from the review of both the scientific literature and the different scales used to measure consequences derived from alcohol consumption. In addition, they completed the AUDIT and the Timeline Followba…
Psychometric properties of the CYBVICS cyber-victimization scale and its relationship with psychosocial variables.
2019
The main goal of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the revised version of the Adolescent Cyber-Victimization Scale (CYBVICS). This scale is composed of 18 items that assess direct and indirect cyber-victimization. Two subsamples participated in the present study. Sample 1 included 1318 adolescents (47.4% boys) from 12 to 16 years old (M = 13.89, SD = 1.32). Sample 2 was composed of 1188 adolescents (51.5% girls) from 12 to 16 years old (M = 14.19, SD = 1.80). First, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted on sample 1. Results yielded a bifactor structure: direct cyber-victimization and indirect cyber-victimization. To confirm the structure of the CYBVICS, …
Data from an international multi-centre Study of Statistics and Mathematics Anxieties and Related Variables in University Students (the SMARVUS Datas…
2023
This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students from 100 universities in 35 countries, collected in 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, and the cognitive reflection test, and collected demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported and official statistics grades, and statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including testing links between anxieties and statistics/mathematics education factors, and examining instruments’ psychometric properties across differ…
