Sicurezza materna e interventi compensativi nella maternità a rischio
No full textIn developmental ecological perspective the states of child development cannot be understood outside the ecological context, that includes both the family as the primary care unit and the social and cultural institutions that support caregiving (Sameroff, 1992; Bronfenbrenner, 1979). In the life cycle there are sensible moments where change is most likely to occur, therefore interventions are especially efficacious during these transitions. Home visiting on pregnant mothers starting from the child's birth seems to strongly reduce the percentage of maltreatment and interactional failures in the relationship with the child. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Home Visiting Intervention on mother and infant emotional availability in dyads at risk conditions (depressive and social), whose mothers present a secure or insecure attachment. The aims of home intervention mainly concern: support of the maternal role; support of the mother-child interaction; support of the socio-affective development of the child. The sample, composed of 69 pregnant women, was interviewed by means of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and afterwards randomly assigned to one of the two groups: Home Visiting Intervention group (N = 20 secure, N = 18 insecure) and Without Intervention group (N = 20 secure, N = 11 insecure). The dyads were met at 3rd-6th and 12th months and videotaped during a free play interaction. The interaction was coded by Emotional Availability Scales system (EAS). Within a risk context, mothers with insecure attachment and followed by the Home Visiting Intervention presented a better interaction respect to insecure dyads without intervention. Dyads with mothers presenting a secure model of attachment also showed to be better than insecure mothers. Results were discussed with reference to the importance of both factors for early socio-affective development in risk conditions.

The relationship between parental representations of caregiving and behavioral problems among italian adolescents
No full textThe present study examines the unique contributions of the caregiving system to predicting adolescent behavioral problems as well as examining the interplay between the caregiving systems in both parents. 266 adolescents (147 females and 119 males; aged 11 to 19) and their parents completed measure of socio-emotional problems and caregiving representations, respectively. Maternal mental representation of caregiving-self was a significant predictor for internalizing and externalizing problems. The inclusion of paternal mental representations of caregiving-other in the model increased the variance only for externalizing problems. Our findings confirm that mental representations based on inability to perceive others as deserving help, and negative self-perception of abilities and skills to give help predict socio-emotional problems in their adolescents. The implications of the findings for future theoretical and empirical development of research in this field are discussed
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
