La Cotidianidad de lo Familiar y las Habilidades de los Niños
No full textLas rutinas y los rituales son un medio para organizar la cotidianidad y devienen el modo mediante el cual las familias explicitan creencias compartidas e identidades comunes. La creación y el mantenimiento de rutinas y rituales resulta un elemento central de la vida familiar y constituye un andamiaje para el desarrollo del niño. Lo cotidiano puede considerarse un factor de protección promotor del bienestar de la familia, que incrementa el sentido de seguridad, pertenencia, estabilidad, cohesión y satisfacción, reforzando las habilidades sociales en los niños. Nuestro objetivo fue analizar la relación entre rutina, rituales familiares y las habilidades de los niños. Los participantes fueron 107 núcleos familiares a quienes se les administró el “Cuestionario sobre los rituales familiares, Inventario de las rutinas familiares, Autopercepción del rol parental”. Los docentes informaron, además, de las habilidades del niño mediante el “Cuestionario sobre las fortalezas y las debilidades”. Los resultados muestran que no sólo la ausencia, sino que también el exceso del comportamiento rutinario y de la importancia atribuida al mismo, puedan representar una disfuncionalidad en la regulación afectiva del niño

No full textThis study examines the relationships between acculturation strategies, social support, and social wellbeing among Italians and immigrants. The paper outlines the acculturation experience that includes interethnic contact and social distance. Adults (309 Italian members of the host society and 104 immigrants) participated in a questionnaire study. Results confirmed the expected association between acculturation strategies, social distance, and positive emotions toward the outgroup. Italian participants that choose integration as the acculturation strategy showed: lower social distance, more positive emotional feelings toward immigrants, higher social well-being. Furthermore, results showed that for immigrants higher levels of social support nullify the positive effects of intergroup contact on social distance or even increase immigrants intentions to distance themselves from Italian
Fear of hypoglycemia in Italian mothers of children with type 1 diabetes: the mediating role of resilience
No full textObjective: Fear of hypoglycemia for children with diabetes influences parental life and could increase parental stress. The present study aimed to explore the association between resilience, the self-perception of the parental role, and fear of hypoglycemia in mothers of children with type I diabetes (T1DM). Methods: Ninety mothers (mean age: 44.20 years) of children with a T1DM diagnosis (mean age: 11.48 years) were recruited from an association for parents and completed an online self-report questionnaire packet that includes: Fear of Hypoglycemia Survey, Self-Perception of the Parental Role and Resilience Scale for Adults. Participants were recruited in 2017. Data collection lasted 10 months. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical package, version 22, and the PROCESS macro program by Hayes. Results: The analysis of the mediation model shows that resilience assumes a mediational role in the relationships between the parental role and preoccupation with hypoglycemia. In particular, the mother's perceived competence and role balance can influence the development and increase of the mother's resilience, which in turn can allow a decrease in the mother's worry about the possible hypoglycemic episode of her child. Conclusion: The findings suggest that resilience is a significant topic to focus on in interventions designed to increase the self-perception of the parental role and reduce fear of hypoglycemia in mothers
Intercultural Learning Context and Acculturation Strategies
No full textAbstractThe intercultural context that characterises our multicultural society demands thorough studies on intercultural relationships. The present work aims to explore adolescent's acculturation strategies in relation to their learning contexts with different ethnic class composition. The present research includes 241 adolescents attending schools in Italy. Our results show acculturation strategies significantly differ among the three groups in life domains. However, the acculturation process introduces a similar course for the three groups; nevertheless the Italian adolescents present a tendency for separation. Moreover, the results highlight that acculturation strategies differ in relation to the ethnic composition of the school class
La funzione scaffolding di routine e rituali familiari durante l’età prescolare dei figli
No full textThis research aims to study, for the first time in the Italian context, the frequency
and relevance of family routines and rituals during the pre-school stage in a non-clinical
children group. The paper presents the results of a family survey of 321 subjects in order to
investigate how the routine importance and the rituals meanings are associated with changes in
children well-being. The findings highlight how the everyday can be regarded as a stable structure
(scaffolding) that by organizing routines, roles and rituals enhances adaptive behavior in children
during the preschool age
Adolescents at Risk: Comparing Italian and Immigrant Youth
No full textThis chapter analyzes the well-being of an at-risk adolescent population that has been poorly studied in the literature. Adolescents at psychosocial risk are on a developmental path characterized by crucial, moderating or precursor factors of distress and maladjustment.
This article presents results of a multi-methods study conducted to identify whether migratory status represented an additional critical factor along the developmental path of adolescents toward adaptation or maladjustment. Quantitative survey methods provided a background of descriptive information concerning adolescents at psychosocial risk adjustment, coping strategies, social support and ethnic identity, while qualitative methods offered richer, deeper understanding of these issues in relation to migration experience.
The study sample comprised 60 adolescents (M = 18.02 years; 45% Italians and 55% immigrant; 58.3% males and 41.7% females) at psychosocial risk. Each adolescent completed a questionnaire that analized their ability to adapt, their level of maladjustment, their coping strategies and their perceived level of social support.
10 young immigrants participated to in-depth interviews in order to thoroughly describe the meaning and complexity of this phenomenon in the interviewees’ own words
