Anxiety disorders and differentiation of self
No full textIntroduction.– Kerr and Bowen (1988) argued that individuals with
a less differentiated self were more likely to experience anxiety,
function less effectively in stressful situations, and suffer from
physiological and relational psychological symptoms in social situations.
In the recent years, these suggestions have been the focus of
a great empirical research. These studies revealed that well differentiated
individuals enjoy good physical and psychological health
(e.g. Skowron, Stanley & Shapiro, 2009; Lampis, Cataudella, Busonera
& Skowron, 2017) and are less anxious (e.g. Skowron & Dendy,
2004; Peleg & Yitzhak, 2011).
Objectives.– Starting from these premises, the main objective of our
investigation was to compare a normative sample (n = 69, control
group) and two samples of adults seeking therapeutic services for
couple relationship problems (n = 41) and for anxiety and panic
(n = 47), to analyze differences on the levels of differentiation of
self.
Method.– The various components of differentiation of self
(emotional reactivity, emotional cut-off, emotional fusion and Iposition)
and the levels of anxiety were investigated using the
Differentiation of Self Inventory Revised (DSI-R) and the Symptom
Check List Revised (SCL-90-R).
Results.– We found that participants of the clinical sample of adults
seeking therapeutic services for anxiety and panic had significantly
higher scores in the Emotional cut-off scale and significantly lower
scores in the I-position scale.
Conclusion.– The research revealed the importance of differentiation
of self-processes to achieving an understanding of anxiety and
panic disorders in research and clinical practice.
Disclosure of interest.– The authors have not supplied a conflict of

Il processo di cotruzione del legame di attaccamento prenatale nelle coppie in attesa: una ricerca esplorativa
No full textObiettivo del lavoro è indagare il ruolo che variabili individuali e relazionali esercitano sullo sviluppo dell’Attaccamento Prenatale Materno/Paterno durante la gravidanza. Hanno partecipato allo studio 94 coppie in attesa e ciascun partner ha compilato: Scheda di rilevazione di variabili sociodemografiche/anamnestiche/relative alla gravidanza; PAI (Della Vedova et al., 2008); ECR-R (Busonera et al., 2014); DAS (Gentili et al., 2002); PBI (Scinto, 1999); MSPSS (Prezza e Principato, 2002). I risultati mostrano che lo stile di accudimento della famiglia d’origine, la qualità del legame di coppia e alcune variabili contestuali influenzano la transizione alla genitorialità in maniera differente negli uomini e nelle donne

No full textTo Know Without Destroying?
No full textThis paper proposes some considerations that arise from an experiment conducted in the Archaeological Park of Porto Torres, where a predictive and non- invasive diagnostic tool based on a numerical code (TEAM) was tested. It is an innovative research topic that, in recent years, has seen mathematics contribute to artistic protection as well as in the hard field of the protection of historical buildings and archaeological structures. Starting from a point of view that arise from a long archaeological experience, it was proposed an application in a context in which the use of predictive models of damage might answer to a real need. Adapting the recent structural analysis tools to the complex needs and to the lack of archaeological research data could open a path towards new and different solutions, no longer intrinsically destructive, for the investigation of the historical structures. It could be a new point of view that starts from the construction of a common language between so different disciplines, towards a real communication and mutual contamination
Tutelare la Sardegna. Limiti e prospettive dell'applicazione della disciplina UNESCO in ambito archeologico
No full textThis paper aims to re-read some archaeological reality in Sardinia. It tries to develop a critical discussion on the local solutions adopted for the protection, enhancement, use of sites and the UNESCO discipline, which states a hierarchy about cultural assets - based on the worth - and provides a stronger protection for those included in the World Heritage List. For this reason, it is proposed to investigate if the inclusion in the UNESCO List is really reflected in the Italian protection system. Significant overlaps appear in relation to the skills and strategies to be adopted for the valorization of archaeological heritage. This work arises from a legal analysis, from a correlation between some archaeological sites and from the analogy between “material” cultural heritage and “identifying" cultural heritage. The results are useful to recognize possible corrections of the protection system and, moreover, towards an updated definition of the object that needs to be protected
Psychometric properties of an Italian version of the experiences in close relationships-revised (ECR-R) scale
No full textThis study examined the psychometric properties of a newly translated Italian version of the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) Scale. The sample comprised 1,363 adults (906 women, 456 men, 1 unreported sex; ages 18-64 yr., M = 33.4, SD = 8.9; 84.4% reported being engaged in a romantic relationship, 9.4% declared being single), all living in Italy and speaking Italian as their first language. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed the expected bi-factorial (anxiety/avoidance) structure and a close correspondence between factors and scales. Test-retest and internal consistency reliabilities were adequate. Correlations with the Relationship Questionnaire, a categorical measure of attachment, and with the Dyadic Adjustment Scale were consistent with the theoretical relations among the constructs. The findings confirm the transcultural validity of the ECR-R
