Sistemi motivazionali interpersonali in adolescenza
No full textIn this work we describe two evaluation methods (PIGA and AIMIT) we used in analysis of interactions between adolescents and their own parents. In our opinion it’s very important in Adolescence to take in account and analyze how interpersonal motivational systems can define the parent-adolescent interactions to understand what kind of situation can improve and subtain the adoescent’s development

No full textThe Italian version of the Circle of Security Parenting: clinical application and preliminary empirical data from a research study
No full textIntroduction
The Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P) protocol is an early intervention program designed to prevent insecure attachment, child psychopathological distress and to promote psychological well-being that can be used with groups, dyads, and individuals. It is a visually based approach (utilizing extensive use of both graphics and video clips). Created in USA (Cooper, Hoffman, Powell, Marvin, 2005), COS-P is now widespread in many countries and has been translated into seven languages. The final purpose of COS-P is to support parents to recognize and respond to their children’s alternating needs for attachment and exploration (Powell, Cooper, Hoffman, Marvin, 2009). It provides an opportunity for caregivers to reflect on their child’s needs and the challenges each faces in meeting those needs (Cooper, Hoffman, & Powell, 2009).
Whereas COS is an evidenced based approach, there are only preliminary empirical data on the efficacy of COS-P. Using case studies, the presentation describes the Italian version of COS-P, produced with the collaboration of its creators, and its preliminary empirical data from a research study. Particularly attention will be paid to the setting up of a research study designed to evaluate the efficacy of the COS-P in Italy.
Method
Case studies will be presented and preliminary data will be discussed on a pre-intervention/post-intervention design used to examine the COS-P efficacy. Self-report questionnaires and a projective tool were administered to patients participating to the protocol. The areas of investigation of used tools can be grouped in: dyadic adjustment; parenting; caregiving; parents’ subjective appraisal of child problems; parent’s attachment style and model.
Results/discussion
Preliminary data of the application of COS-P on case studies showed interesting results in terms of enhancement of the attachment-caregiving relationships and of parents’ subjective appraisal of child needs. COS constituted a type of treatment to support parenting with great potential in the Italian context

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
