Social media e turismo, dinamiche transcalari
2020
Il contributo mira a descrivere quali dinamiche i social media attivino nella promozione di una destinazione turistica. Abbiamo analizzato gli insight della fan page di Facebook di Menfi, una destinazione turistica emergente situata a sud della cosiddetta Valle del Belice, in Sicilia. L'analisi delle interazioni mostra come sulla stessa piattaforma, a seconda del contenuto in discussione, si attivino conversazioni che coinvolgono comunità diverse che abbracciano dalla dimensione locale a quella internazionale. La promozione del territorio per il tramite dei social media rappresenta allora davvero una manifestazione delle prospettive di glocalizzazione e un importante strumento competitivo, …

The article, starting from a descriptive approach, will try to give a picture of the spatial diffusion of the main MHC events and the public flows generated, focusing in particular on the main European competitions. The article will then explore the relational and community dynamics that develop in some of the social networking platforms dedicated to the d…
The Dimensions of Facebook Addiction as Measured by Facebook Addiction Italian Questionnaire and Their Relationships with Individual Differences
2017
Abstract The studies reported analyze the factorial structure of Facebook Addiction Italian Questionnaire (FAIQ), a variant of 20-item Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT). In Study 1, we tested FAIQ psychometric properties using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). In Study 2, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to verify the FAIQ factorial structure identified through EFA. Results from CFA confirm the presence of a four-factor model accounting for 58 percent of total variance, plus a general higher order factor that best fits the data. Further relationships between FAIQ factor scores, personality, and Facebook usage have been explored.
Does Attentional Style Moderate the Relationship between Time Perspective and Social Network Addiction? A Cross-Sectional Study on a Sample of Social…
2021
The present study investigates the role of attentional style as a moderator variable between temporal perspective and social network addiction, since little is known about users’ cognitive variables involved in this kind of addictive behavior. To achieve this goal, a sample of 186 volunteers and anonymous social networking sites users (M = 34%; F = 66%; Mage = 22.54 years; SD = 3.94; range: 18 ÷ 45 years) participated in a cross-sectional study. All participants filled out self-report instruments measuring temporal perspective, internal vs. external attentional style, and social network addiction. The results align with the previous literature and show that present fatalistic and past negat…
The Italian version of the Thinking About Life Experiences Questionnaire and its relationship with gender, age, and life events on Facebook
2020
The present study provided a cross-cultural validation of the Thinking About Life Experiences Scale-revised (TALE-R) in an Italian sample of Facebook users (n = 492; female = 378; male = 114; mean age 26.1) to test for replication and universality of the TALE-R three-factor model. Furthermore, it explored the interrelations among gender, age, the scores at the TALE-R and the frequency of posting textual/visual information about individuals' life events on Facebook. Results at exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis gave empirical support to both of a tripartite model for the functions of autobiographical memory (i.e., directive-behavior, social-bonding, and self-continuity) and measure…
Autobiographical Memory, Personality, and Facebook Mementos
2019
The present study analyzed the relationships between directive, self and social functions of autobiographical memory, personality traits, as defined by the Five Factor model, and the Facebook mementos. We defined Facebook mementos as objective measures of the textual (i.e., Facebook Status Updating) and visual (i.e., Photos uploading) information people record on their Facebook profiles. Questionnaires gathered data from a sample of 193 Italian Facebook users (148 female; 45 male; age M = 22.8, SD = 6.8). Results at path analysis using AMOS showed direct significant positive associations between personality traits related to extraversion, openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness and Faceboo…
Dipendenza da internet e social media negli adolescenti: il ruolo dei processi identitari.
2017
L’ampia diffusione di internet e dei social media negli ultimi decenni ha influenzato il modo di comunicare e di pensare. Ma l’abuso di internet può causare perdita delle relazioni interpersonali, cambi di umore, pensiero orientato all’uso della rete e alterazione del vissuto temporale specialmente negli adolescenti. Scopo del presente studio è stato quello di analizzare in quale misura gli stili identitari sono fattori di protezione o di rischio che potrebbero contrastare o favorire le dipendenze tecnologiche. 310 adolesce nti italiani (M = 163; età me-dia = 18.09) hanno compilato un questionario volto a valutare stili identitari, dipendenza dai social media e da internet. Sono state condo…
Understanding the smartphone generation: is problematic smartphone use associated with low body esteem among adolescent girls and boys?
2020
Contemporary adolescents increasingly engage with social media via their smartphones, and problematic smartphone use has been identified as a growing concern. The aim of the current study was to examine the association between problematic smartphone use and body esteem among adolescent boys and girls. A sample of 647 adolescents (mean age: 14.15 years; 56.7% females) completed measures of problematic smartphone use, emotional regulation, and body esteem. Findings from hierarchical regression models revealed that problematic smartphone use was weakly associated with body esteem among both adolescent girls and boys. Furthermore, difficulties with emotional regulation were moderately associate…

Copioni omosessuali, relazioni emotive e sesso on-line. Giovani e Social Media
2019
Il saggio vuole proporre una riflessione storico sociale sui principali mutamenti che hanno interessato i “copioni” sessuali e, in particolare, le relazioni romantiche e il corteggiamento tra maschi omosessuali nell’età contemporanea. Attraverso il riferimento all’interazione dialettica esistente tra dimensione culturale, interpersonale e intrapsichica offerta dalla teoria dei co-pioni sessuali (sexual scripts), l’analisi presenta le principali trasformazioni della maschilità omosessuale e dei suoi copioni, dalla loro costituzione a partire da assunti prevalentemente “eteronormativi” sino allo sviluppo di copioni alternativi che mettono in discussione le norme di genere, i modelli intimi e …
