Giovani adulti italiani: "lunghezza" della famiglia e del processo di autonomizzazione. Un'indagine svolta con gli studenti dell'Università di Padova rispetto a stili d'attaccamento, convinzioni personali,impegno civico-morale, felicità, terrore della morte
No full textWhy do a disproportionate number of young Italian adults stay in the family home indefinitely?
We assume such behavior becomes as an unintentional barrier to their achievement and their social commitment.
We hypothesized an association between this phenomenon and the prevailing anxious attachment among young people, their tendency to associate the separation from attachment figures to death, a low-grade of spiritual religious and personal beliefs, and a low level of happiness.
Data was collected from 1570 students attending the University of Padua, aged between 18 and 38 years, with an average of 22.11 (std 2.508).
Regarding methodology, we employed the Relationship Scales Questionnaire as a measure for the students' attachment style (Griffin, Bartholomew, 1994), the scale of moral disengagement as a measure for civil moral disengagement (Caprara, Fida, Vecchione, 2009), and the Subjective Happiness Scale as a measure for subjective happiness (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999).
We investigated with two questions the representation of death as annihilation or passage and their psychological experience regarding their own death.
Additionally, the participants were asked if they lived on their own, in the parental home or in another residential situation.
We used some questions extracted from the WHO QOL srpb to investigate the strength of their spiritual, religious and personal beliefs.
The data supports the hypothesis. Thus we propose a pedagogical device, "Death Education,” which manages the horror vacui and separation from external security. It should induce young adults: (1) to build an indestructible inner strength with both strong and flexible beliefs, (2) to be aware and accept death as inevitable, and (3) to engage in society.La presente ricerca sorge dalla volontà di comprendere le cause del fenomeno tutto italiano chiamato ‘famiglia lunga’ (Scabini & Donati, 1988) caratterizzato dalla prolungata permanenza dei giovani adulti presso la famiglia d’origine.
L’ipotesi di partenza implica un’associazione tra tale fenomeno e la prevalenza di un attaccamento ansioso nei giovani; la loro tendenza a connettere alla morte la separazione dalle figure d’attaccamento; una forte ansia nei confronti della morte, percepita come la fine di tutto; deboli convinzioni personali, spirituali e religiose; un basso livello di felicità .
Nella ricerca quali-quantitativa sono stati coinvolti 1570 studenti dell’Università di Padova di età compresa tra i 18 e i 38 anni, con una media di 22,11 (std. 2,508). Lo stile d’attaccamento è stato misurato con il Relationship Scales Questionnaire (Griffin, Bartholomew, 1994). Il disimpegno civile morale è stato indagato tramite la scala del disimpegno morale (Caprara, Fida, Vecchione, 2009). Due domande hanno consentito di investigare, da un lato, la rappresentazione della morte come annientamento o passaggio, dall’altro il vissuto psicologico relativo alla stessa. È stato chiesto ai partecipanti se abitassero per conto proprio, presso la casa dei genitori o in un’altra situazione residenziale. È stato somministrato il WHO QOL srpb per indagare la forza delle loro convinzioni spirituali, religiose e personali. La felicità soggettiva è stata misurata attraverso il Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999).
Alla generale conferma dell’ipotesi di partenza da parte dei risultati è seguita una proposta pedagogica, che si rifà all’ampio concetto di Death Education e ad altri affini dispositivi educativi (quali educazione alla creatività e psicodramma) e implica l’educazione alla gestione del vuoto e alla separazione dalle sicurezze esterne, con il fine ultimo di indurre i soggetti a costruire una forza interiore indistruttibile, declinantesi in solide e al tempo stesso flessibili convinzioni personali; nella consapevolezza e accettazione della ineludibile realtà della morte; in un considerevole impegno nelle dimensioni della civitas/communitas e dei rapporti umani
La violenza sessuale dalla società alla famiglia. Sexual violence: from society to the family
No full textGendered violence is defined as violence that is perpetuated
on women across all societies, communities and groups
and that is justified on the basis of sex differences. Various
authors have stressed the fact that sexual categories are social
constructs that act as a lens through which we model,
shape and behave in the world. Gender violence is considered
a violation of human rights as it denies equality, security,
dignity and the right of individuals to enjoy their fundamental
freedoms and rights. Within the policies of the European
Union whose goal of preventing and combating violence
against women has been pronounced, the project Empower
has been instituted in order to break the cycle of violence
and victimization passed from the mother to the daughter
through the use of psychodrama techniques

Analysis of a meeting of sociodrama on the representation of the ideal woman
No full textSummary. This work is part of an experimental study - involving some theoretical
lessons of gender studies - which aim to promote the empowerment of a group of
university students and to increase their awareness of the subordination of women
and their ability to act effectively to curb it. The students were involved in a
meeting of sociodrama (video-recorded) during which they could express their
representations of female roles. In order to observe the development of
empowerment and to analyze how “the ideal woman” was verbally represented,
we used specific software for the management and analysis of audio-video data
(Transana Software, v.2.42) (Muhr, 1991)
Overcoming female subordination. An educational experiment changes the levels of non-attachment and objectification in a group of female undergraduates
Get PDFThe research investigates the effect of an experimental university course on the level of non-attachment and on the changes in a exercise of sociometric alignment within a group of female students. The course involved a theoretical part, three sociodrama meetings and the realization by the learners of a product of digital storytelling relating to the empowerment of women. The results confirm that the inclusion of empowerment training in a university course is able to significantly increase the psychological well-being of the participant
Creativity and nonattachment: A relationship moderated by pride
No full textPrevious research has shown that nonattachment, or the ability to release from mental fixations, has many positive outcomes (Sahdra, Shaver, & Brown, 2010). Because creativity is one of the most im- portant pro-social behaviors, we investigated the link between nonattachment and creativity. In addi- tion, we investigated the moderating role of mood. We found that nonattachment was indeed positively related to creativity, but only when people were induced to feel authentic pride, that is, pride which re- sults from attributing success to hard work. The link between nonattachment and creativity disappeared when people were merely induced to feel a positive or neutral mood
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
