Sfide e prospettive transdisciplinari sulla resilienza multisistemica
Full text linkQuesto contributo conclusivo ricostruisce il percorso compiuto nel volume
per delineare una visione della resilienza come processo multisistemico, che richiede un
approccio transdisciplinare per una sua piena comprensione. Superando la prospettiva individualistica,
la resilienza è interpretata come l’esito di interazioni tra individui, famiglie,
comunità e istituzioni, inserite in ecosistemi culturali, relazionali-comunitari, giuridico-istituzionali
ed economico-sociali. Le diverse angolature disciplinari evidenziano come la
resilienza sia una qualità non statica, ma in continua trasformazione, situata e sensibile ai
contesti. Tale modello suggerisce la necessità di strategie integrate e consapevoli, capaci
di indirizzare politiche e interventi inclusivi e sostenibili, al fine di creare ambienti favorevoli
ad adattamenti più positivi.
Adozione mite: opportunità o rischio per lo sviluppo del minore?
No full textIl presente lavoro intende contribuire al vivace dibattito sui punti di forza e sulle criticità dell’adozione mite passando in rassegna alcune ricerche condotte da un gruppo di ricercatori dell’Università di Bari, che hanno valutato i percorsi e gli esiti di sviluppo di un campione di ragazzi adottati con la formula mite. Dopo aver presentato i principali risultati ottenuti da questi studi, a partire dai dati empirici disponibili vengono avanzate possibili ipotesi utili a spiegare gli esiti di sviluppo associati all’esperienza dell’adozione mite che si sono rivelati meno favorevoli se confrontati con quelli osservati nei ragazzi adottati con la formula legittimante
Attaccamento e alleanza di lavoro nella relazione clinica: una rassegna degli studi pubblicati nell'ultimo decennio
No full textDiversi studi sono stati dedicati all’analisi della qualità della relazione psicoterapeutica
nei suoi molteplici aspetti e alla sua influenza sull’esito della psicoterapia. L’articolo presenta
una rassegna dei principali e più recenti contributi sull’argomento che, focalizzando l’attenzione sul legame psicoterapeutico, analizzano la relazione tra stili di attaccamento nella diade
clinico-paziente o clinico-supervisore e percezione dell’alleanza di lavoro. La selezione degli
studi di interesse è stata condotta interrogando la banca dati Scopus. Sono stati inclusi nella
rassegna 38 studi, pubblicati dal 2009 ad oggi, che rispettavano i criteri di inclusione ed esclusione stabiliti a priori. I risultati mostrano una forte associazione tra la sicurezza degli stili di
attaccamento del clinico e la qualità dell’alleanza di lavoro; tale associazione è rilevata anche
negli scambi tra il clinico e il proprio supervisore, nel caso il primo sia ancora in formazione.
Meno omogenei, invece, appaiono i risultati degli studi basati sull’attaccamento del paziente.
Il lavoro si conclude col suggerimento di considerare le possibili relazioni di mediazione nei
meccanismi associativi tra stili di attaccamento, alleanza di lavoro ed esito della psicoterapia
e con alcune raccomandazioni per la formazione degli psicoterapeuti e per l’agire clinico
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
The Role of Parenting, Dysregulation and Self-Esteem in Adolescents’ Problematic Social Network Site Use: A Test of Parallel and Serial Mediation Models in a Healthy Community Sample
Full text linkThe study addresses some gaps in the current understanding of adolescents’ Problematic Social Network Site Use (PSNSU) by exploring the role of parenting as a precursor, and dysregulation and self-esteem as possible mediators. The sample includes 148 parents (15% fathers) and their adolescent offspring (23% male, age ranging from 14 to 18 years old, M = 15.96, SD = 1.36). Parent-reported dysregulation and positive/negative parenting style and adolescent-reported PSNSU and self-esteem were collected. As to positive parenting, simple parallel mediations were fully supported: positive parenting was associated with less dysregulation and higher self-esteem and both conditions independently predicted adolescents’ PSNSU. Additionally, a serial mediation model was confirmed, suggesting that positive parenting is associated with less PSNSU by means of the sequential effect of dysregulation on self-esteem. As to negative parenting, results only support one simple mediation: negative parenting predicted PSNSU through dysregulation. Self-esteem was not impacted by negative parenting, interrupting the indirect pathways. The direct effect of negative parenting on PSNSU was significant, suggesting a partial mediation. Findings deepen the current understanding of teens’ PSNSU and highlight the importance of targeting parenting when implementing interventions to prevent and treat PSNSU
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
STEM-Gender Stereotypes: Associations With School Empowerment and School Engagement Among Italian and Nigerian Adolescents
Full text linkWhile many sociocultural, contextual, biological, behavioral, and psychological variables may contribute to the widespread under-representation of girls and women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field, this study focused on STEM-gender stereotypes, school experiences, and adolescence as critical factors in driving students' interest and motivation in STEM. Based on this, the study (a) investigated differences by gender and national context (Italy vs. Nigeria) in adolescents' STEM-gender stereotypes, school empowerment, and school engagement in a preliminary step, and (b) simultaneously examined how adolescents' STEM-gender stereotypes were related to school empowerment and school engagement as well as to socioeconomic status (SES). These latter relations were considered within the context of the potential moderating role of gender and national context. Participants included 213 Italian adolescents (M(age) = 13.91; 52.1% girls) and 214 Nigerian adolescents (M(age) = 13.92; 60.3% girls), who completed measures of school empowerment and engagement, STEM-gender stereotypes, and SES. A multivariate analysis of covariance showed that Nigerian girls and boys reported significantly higher levels of school empowerment, school engagement, and STEM-gender stereotypes than their Italian peers. Moreover, regardless of the national context, boys scored significantly higher on school empowerment and STEM-gender stereotypes than girls. Furthermore, a multiple-group path analysis revealed how higher school empowerment was related to lower STEM-gender stereotypes in both Italian and Nigerian girls' groups, while higher school engagement was associated with lower STEM-gender stereotypes only in the Nigerian groups. Regardless of gender and nationality, higher SES was linked to lower STEM-gender stereotypes. These findings particularly suggest that school empowerment and school engagement can be relevant dimensions to be studied and to develop strategies to counteract STEM-gender stereotypes in adolescence. Nonetheless, gender and national context are key factors to be considered. Limitations, strengths, future research, and educational implications are discussed
Sociodemographic and psychological correlates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in the young adult population in Italy
No full textPrevious research has shown that young adults are more hesitant/resistant to COVID-19 vaccine uptake than older age groups, although the factors underlying this tendency are still under debate. The current study aimed to identify the sociodemographic and psychological correlates of vaccine hesitancy and resistance among young adults (18-40 years) during the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Italy, the first country after China being hit by the pandemic and which suffered a large number of fatalities
