Qualità della vita di individui con disabilità intellettiva: Modelli teorici, strumenti di valutazione e scelte cliniche
No full textThe construct of Quality of Life (QoL) has recently gained greater relevance in the field of Intellectual Disability (ID) and it is now a key criterion for program planning and evaluation, and for the managerial and policy decisions of organizations providing services for individuals with ID. Although there is general agreement on the main properties of the construct, some issues are still open to debate. The present review aims to describe the main theoretical models of QoL, scales for children and young adults with ID, as well as models for program planning and for managerial and policy decisions
Qualità della vita e disabilità intellettiva: Modelli teorici, scale di valutazione e scelte cliniche
No full textIl livello socioculturale nella ricerca psicologica: Problemi concettuali e metodologici
No full textL’influenza del livello socio-culturale (LSC) nella ricerca psicologica è ampiamente documentata.
Tuttavia, le principali dimensioni del LSC (status socio-economico, capitale culturale e capitale
sociale) e gli strumenti disponibili per la loro misurazione raramente sono oggetto di valutazione
critica. In questa rassegna, sono illustrati e discussi i problemi concettuali e metodologici relativi
alla definizione del LSC e alla sua rilevazione nell’indagine sperimentale nei diversi ambiti della
psicologia
Il livello socioculturale nella ricerca psicologica: Problemi concettuali e metodologici
No full textInfluence of adaptive behaviour on the quality of life of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
No full textBackground: This study evaluated the role of adaptive behaviour, individual variables (age, gender and problem behaviours) and environmental variables (living arrangements, employment status and city dimension) in affecting the quality of life of individuals with IDD measured from third-party (caregiver) and individuals with IDD' perspective. Method: For 93 adults with an IDD diagnosis (47% males) aged 19–65 years, third-party and participants' perspective on participants' quality of life (Personal Outcome Scale), adaptive behaviour (Vineland-II scale), problem behaviours (PIMRA and DASH-II scales), and individual and environmental variables were collected. Results: Adaptive behaviour was the main determinant of quality of life for individuals with IDD. The effect of adaptive behaviour was significant and relevant from both third-party and participants' perspectives. Problem behaviours had a modest negative impact on the quality of life. Conclusions: Adaptive behaviour is relevant for planning support and interventions for people with IDD to increase their quality of life
The problem of measuring the socio-cultural level in psychological research
No full textPerformances in psychological tests are frequently influenced by the socio-
cultural level (SCL). Therefore, valid strategies to assess SCL must be
used. Dimensions of SCL are presented (socio-economic status, cultural capital, and social capital) and available strategies for their assessment are described. Problems in the SCL evaluation and their effects in research and clinical fields are discussed, particularly in the case of children with learning and behavioral disabilities
