Online Positive Interventions to Promote Well-being and Resilience in the Adolescent Population: A Narrative Review

2017

Numerous studies have shown an alarming prevalence of depression, anxiety, and behavior disorders in youth. Thus, prevention of psychological problems in this population becomes crucial. According to the World Health Organization (1), prevention should also include the promotion and development of the individual’s strengths in order to reduce vulnerability to suffering from mental disorders. In addition, other key elements of prevention are the reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of interventions. The information and communication technologies, especially the Internet, have much to offer in terms of the prevention and promotion of positive mental health in adolescents. This pap…

Recalled parental rearing behavior is one of the factors influencing the strength of resilience. However, it is unclear whether resilience is a relatively stable personality trait or has a relational character whose protective strength changes over the course of life. Therefore, the association between recalled parental rearing and resilience as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression was investigated in respect to age and gender. N = 4,782 healthy subjects aged 14-92 (M = 48.1 years) were selected by the random-route sampling method. In this sample, an ultra-short form of the Recalled Parental Rearing Behavior Questionnaire, the German short version of the resilience scale, and two scre…

Qualità della vita, regolazione affettiva e capacità resilienza in pazienti adulti affetti da fibrosi cistica

2013

Obiettivo. Noi riteniamo che in pazienti affetti da Fibrosi Cistica (FC) lo studio della qualità della vita (QdV), costrutto strettamente associato al recente miglioramento dei protocolli di cura e all’aumento dell’età media di sopravvivenza, dovrebbe prendere in considerazione anche il ruolo della regolazione affettiva. Con il presente lavoro si intende studiare 1) la relazione tra la qualità della vita, la regolazione affettiva e la capacità di resilienza, ed esplorare 2) la relazione tra i suddetti psicologici e le condizioni mediche dei pazienti affetti da FC. Metodi. Quaranta pazienti maggiorenni afferenti al Centro Regionale FC di Palermo hanno compilato 3 questionari: Cystic Fibrosis…

Resilience as a predictor of Quality of Life in participants with borderline personality disorder before and after treatment.

2021

Abstract Background Studies have suggested that psychotherapy improves the Quality of Life (QoL) of participants with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). However, there are no studies on the differential efficacy of treatments on the QoL of participants with BPD. Moreover, the relationship between QoL and resilience has rarely been studied in participants with BPD. Objectives: a) to examine whether people with BPD have worse QoL than the non-clinical population; b) to examine whether there are statistically significant differences between Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS), or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-Tre…

Psychological inflexibility explains distress in parents whose children have chronic conditions

2018

Experiential avoidance, cognitive defusion, and mindfulness have all been associated with psychological disorders and well-being. This study investigates whether they predict psychological distress, i.e., symptoms of burnout, depression, stress and anxiety, in parents of children with chronic conditions. We hypothesized that these factors would exhibit a large degree of common variance, and that when compared to mindfulness and defusion, experiential avoidance on its own would predict a larger proportion of unique variance. 75 parents of children with chronic conditions having burnout symptoms who participated in an intervention study completed measures of burnout, stress, anxiety, depressi…

The Proacitve Ecology. Resilient, Circular and Self-sufficient Cities

2015

In the actual Anthropocene the world population is growing at a considerable rate, producing an impressive footprint on the Earth’s ecosystem. How long nature will be able to keep us with this is the main challenge for us? Climate change, water scarcity and rising resource prices show at an increasing rate that nature’s abilities are not inexhaustible. A resilience-oriented development, therefore, must act into a new urban metabolism in the urbanizing planet. When we plan and manage cities as organism with their own metabolisms it becomes clear that they are not separate entities. Cities use nature as their supplier of fuel, food, material resources and water, and nature also absorbs the wa…

The Ghost of the Hawk: Top Predator Shaping Bird Communities in Space and Time

2021

Despite the wide recognition that strongly interacting species can influence distributions of other species, species interactions are often disregarded when assessing or projecting biodiversity distributions. In particular, it remains largely uncharted the extent to which the disappearance of a keystone species cast repercussions in the species composition of future communities. We tested whether an avian top predator can exert both positive and negative effects on spatial distribution of other species, and if these effects persist even after the predator disappeared. We acquired bird count data at different distances from occupied and non-occupied nests of Northern goshawks Accipiter genti…

Resilient cities and sustainable urban mobility in Sicily

2018

The global crisis that in recent years has been investing our planet at different levels - social, economic, political, cultural, environmental - has determined a constant change in the quality of life in the cities. Cities, unfortunately, increasingly vulnerable characterized by insecurity, uncertainty, unpredictability due to mistakes made in the past. This is why, today, urban planning is called to satisfy the new needs of the community through a planning that must be adapted to change. In this scenario, urban centers - in order to ensure high levels of quality of life and responsible management of territorial resources - they must re-examine their governance, their strategies for expans…

ECR2 Economic Crisis: Resilience of Regions

2014

The picture of the economic situation in Europe resulting from the crisis that began in 2008 looks rather asymmetrical and diverse with regions that were not or hardly touched by the crises at all, with regions that were touched but that seem to recover rather progressively and with regions that still suffer quite a lot from the crisis. The fast and successful recovery of some particular regions strikes the eye and raises the question of what is behind this success. The economic crisis and recovery are at the core of all recent policy initiatives that set the framework for territorial development and cohesion policy. The objective of this project is to expose territorial evidence that suppo…
