Factores motivacionales relacionados con la agresividad en las artes marciales MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS RELATED TO AGGRESSION WITHIN MARTIAL ARTS CONTEXT
No full textThis study was aimed at testing a meditational model in which goal orientation, self-determined motivation, and sportspersonship were
predictive factors of aggressiveness. Italian martial artists (N = 366; Mage = 29.53, SD = 9.107; Men = 325, Female = 41) were asked to fill in a
questionnaire assessing sport orientation, sport motivation, sportspersonship, and aggressiveness. The path analysis supported the hypothesized model:
self-determined motivation mediates the relationship between motivational orientations and sportspersonhip, which in turn mediates the relationship
between motivation and aggressiveness. The results suggest considering these motivational factors in order to plan interventions to prevent aggressiveness

Essere amati per essere felici
No full textLa società odierna diviene sempre più tappa di movimenti migratori caratterizzati dallo spostamento di intere popolazioni a causa della guerra, della fame, della violenza dei regimi totalitari. La rottura del rapporto con la madre, intesa non solo come la madre reale, bensì tutto ciò che dà vita, tutto ciò che genera vita e che non è stato in grado di salvaguardare, alimenta un doppio sentimento: amore, nostalgia per la madre lontana e disprezzo per la madre che non ha saputo custodire, difendere dal male. Non solo. L’approdo dello straniero in un’altra terra significa, per il paese accogliente, trovarsi di fronte a schemi diversi, non fondati sulla difesa del proprio, della propria madre, della propria casa, della propria famiglia, spesso considerati come beni e come luoghi chiusi di nutrimento e di consumo. La difesa del proprio, nella nostra società, arriva al punto di accompagnarsi alla minaccia della guerra.
Torna così la domanda di un rinnovamento delle coscienze affinché si attrezzino a individuare quegli elementi in grado di riconoscere un complesso di categorie che facciano capo ad una struttura dotata di senso. È in questo contesto che le proposte fatte alcuni anni fa da studiosi ad impronta umanistica quali Erich Fromm sembrano ancora valide
Benessere percepito nell’ambiente di lavoro: sviluppo di una scala multidimensionale in una prospettiva di ergonomia sociale
No full textAbstract.
Well-being has become a central concern in work and organizational psychology. Traditionally, work psychology literature has identified different levels of analysis of this construct, taking into consideration both the organizational and the socio-physical environment of workers. In particular, a variety of environmental factors emerged as key components in promoting – or reducing – satisfaction and well-being: noise, lighting quality, microclimatic conditions, view through the windows, space organization and control. Interestingly, the workers’ well-being was frequently considered as a subjective response to all of these environmental conditions, usually defined through objective measures, or manipulated in experimental studies. In this respect, a psychological analysis of how the environment is perceived by workers, and how perceptions can affect satisfaction and well-being is still needed.
In this study we developed a multidimensional scale focusing on subjective perceptions, and referring to important environmental features influencing well-being in the workplace. The scale considers the workplace as a relationship of sub-places (personal desk, meeting rooms, areas for breaks, etc.) and facilities which can concur to promote or preclude well-being. The psychometric properties of the scale (number and reliability of factors), and the relationships between perceived environmental features and satisfaction were tested on a sample of 214 workers in different workplace typologies. Results outlined the presence of 6 dimensions of environmental quality, with a good internal consistency and a good predictive power on satisfaction in the workplace

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
Normallity and Pathology in the psychological-medical debate of the 19th century
No full textFor a long time, concepts like normality, health and pathology have been exclusive interest of medicine; only recently, psychiatry also focused on them. While medicine have had parametric values and tools to analyze health-pathology issues, psychiatry needs to analyze variables which are difficult to assess and to compare.
An analysis over concepts like normal and pathologic emphasizes the role of “the space”, “the topos”, “the borderline” between them. In that "space" or "borderline", there could be a quantitative continuum between normality and pathology, instead of a qualitative one; or alternatively, there could be a deep breakdown, which could produce practical and epistemological controversies.
The historical research about this conceptual and methodological problems focuses on the work of some psychologists and psychiatrists – like W. James, A. Meyer, C.W. Beers, G.C. Ferrari – who worked in this field during the 19° century. The common peculiarity between this authors is their interest about this “borderline”, of which they analyzed ambiguities and strengths
