Strategie di coping e coping efficacy nei bambini esposti al conflitto genitoriale: il ruolo dell’attaccamento.
No full textNell’ambito degli studi sul conflitto genitoriale l’attenzione al rapporto tra rappresentazioni mentali dell’attaccamento, strategie di coping e coping efficacy costituisce un tema poco indagato in letteratura. Il presente studio esplora se e come i diversi Modelli Operativi Interni (MOI) dell’attaccamento dei bambini modulino la relazione tra distress percepito in occasione del conflitto genitoriale, strategie di coping e coping efficacy. I partecipanti sono 182 bambini (87 sicuri, 46 ansioso-ambivalenti e 49 evitanti) di età scolare ed i loro genitori, a cui sono stati somministrati una serie di strumenti (RCTS, CPIC, SIS, CCSC-R1 e SAT). I risultati mostrano l’influenza dei MOI sull’utilizzo delle diverse strategie di coping e sul loro impatto sulla coping efficac
introduzione al Focus; Stress post-traumatico in esperienze di violenza cronica
No full textDa tempo l’attenzione dei ricercatori e dei clinici si è orientata a comprendere l’impatto che gli eventi di natura traumatica esercitano sull’adattamento psicologico degli individui coinvolti. I contributi del presente focus monotematico, inserendosi nel filone di studi sull’esposizione a traumi di tipo cronico, portano all’attenzione del lettore le differenti sfaccettature assunte dal PTSD in bambini e adolescenti traumatizzati
An Examination of the Synergy of Age and PTSD on Narrative Coherence in Child Sexual Abuse Testimony
No full textIn a criminal proceeding, a witness is considered as reliable if he/she can recall in narrative form the events, chronologically ordered, with salient contextual (place and time) details, and essential evaluations for the definition of meanings. This study aimed to confirm the effects of age and PTSD on narrative coherence and to investigate the moderating role of age on the association between PTSD and narrative coherence. Narrative coherence was analyzed in 92 allegations of children (M = 10.3; range: 4–17), who were victims of sexual abuse. Thirty-five children presented the symptoms for a diagnosis of PTSD. Each deposition has been codified through the Narrative Coherence Coding Scheme, a coding scheme based on the three independent dimensions (context, chronology, and theme). Correlation analysis indicated the positive associations between age and context, chronology, and theme; and the negative associations between PTSD symptoms and context, chronology, and theme. Predictive effect of PTSD became less and less significant with increasing age. This study could underline the importance of age and PTSD (and their synergy) in legal testimony of children who have been sexually abused
Emotions expressed by sexually abused children during protected auditions: Individual and situational factors
No full textThe goal of this study was to examine children’s expressed emotions in allegations of child sexual abuse, with particular interest to the influence of individual (gender, age at the time of the abuse and the hearing) and situational (type, severity and duration of sexual abuse) factors. Little research exists on this topic, although children’s emotional expressions at disclosure may play a crucial role in the credibility of the child and legal determinations. Ninety-six allegations of children (M = 10, DS = 3.7, range: 4-17 years) sexually abused were coded for children’s emotional displays (fear, sadness, disgust, anger, shame and guilt), through the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (Pennebaker, Booth, & Francis, 2007). Results showed that many negative emotions were expressed in the narrative accounts and that individual and situational factors were significantly connected to the expression of some emotions
