Spitefulness and psychopathy: A contribution for an Italian adaptation
No full textIntroductionPsychopathy has been individuated as an important predictor of criminal recidivism. As a consequence, a growing number of studies has examined factors associated with psychopathic traits in criminal population. While spitefulness has been associated with a range of destructive behaviors, there is a paucity of instruments that evaluate the spitefulness (Marcus & Zeigler-Hill, 2015).ObjectiveTesting the validity and reliability of an Italian version of the Spitefulness Scale.AimsCorrelate Spitefulness Scale scores and other indices of psychological functioning. We recruited an offenders sample (n = 400) and a community sample (n = 400). We administered the Spitefulness Scale (Marcus, 2014), along with the following measures: Dirty Dozen (Carmines & Zeller, 1979), Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004), and SRP (Hare, 1980).ResultsOffenders participants showed higher levels of spitefulness. Further, the construct validity of the scale was confirmed by associations with measures of psychopathy, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal problems.ConclusionsThe use of the Italian version of the Spitefulness Scale seemed promising for the study of emotion recognition in both clinical and nonclinical samples.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.</jats:sec
The role of spitefulness in personality disorders: Toward a better comprehension of the cluster B
No full textIntroductionCluster B personality disorders (i.e., Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, and Narcissistic Personality Disorders), is characterized by a dramatic pattern of relating to others, with symptoms characterized by a difficulty regulating emotional states and behavior (APA, 2000). The desire to cause pain often characterized these disorders (i.e. borderline) involving vindictively harming another with serious and often negative interpersonal consequences. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of research about the nature of relationships between spitefulness and personality disorders.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the association between spitefulness and personality disorders in an offenders samples (N = 305).AimsTo investigate the associations among spitefulness and personality disorders. We hypothesized that spitefulness would be differently associated with emotional and impulsive personality disorders (cluster B: antisocial, borderline, histrionic and narcissistic).ResultsAs expected, spitefulness and some personality, disorders were positively associated. Specifically, ASPD and Borderline are strongly associated with high levels of spitefulness.ConclusionsSuch results confirm the theorization that the assessment of spitefulness improve the accuracy of diagnosing of these personality disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.</jats:sec
Aggression and emotion dysregulation: the role of negative emotions
No full textI rapporti dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità sottolineano come nella popolazione occidentale la violenza agita verso se stessi o verso l’altro sia tra le cause di morte più frequente. L’aggressività sia nella sua forma autodiretta sia in quella eterodiretta è oramai da molti anni un tema di grande interesse per la comunità scientifica, ma, nonostante l’esistenza di molteplici contributi manca ad oggi un quadro complessivo dei risultati in grado di mettere in luce quale sia la matrice comune e quali siano le differenze negli aspetti che concorrono alla messa in atto di queste diverse forme di aggressività. In questo articolo questo tema viene discusso in relazione alle capacità di regolazione delle emozioni degli individui, ma viene anche approfondito il possibile specifico ruolo delle emozioni negative, in particolare della rabbia e della vergogna e dei nessi tra queste emozioni, nella genesi di queste due diverse forme di aggressività
Aggressività e disregolazione emotiva: il ruolo delle emozioni negative.
No full textWorld Health Organization reports underlie that, among western populations,
violence toward the self or toward others is one of the most frequent cause of
death. Aggression, both in its self-directed and others-directed expressions is now considered
a very central topic by the scientific community. However, in spite of diverse
contributions it lacks an integrated overview of empirical evidences able to shed light
on the common matrix and on the peculiar aspects that determine the enactment of
such different forms of aggression. In this paper, this topic is discussed in relation to
individuals’ capacity to regulate emotional states, and in relation to the possible specific
role of negative emotions, i.e. anger and shame, in the genesis of these two forms of
aggression
Firesettings, psychopathology and antisociality
No full textFiresetting, which is the action to set fire intentionally, is a complex issue for clinical assessment and because of its impact on individual, social and environmental levels. From a psychopathological perspective, firesetting is thought to be related to the antisocial domain or to be a manifestation of Pyromania. The present study aims to provide an examination of empirical evidences towards the relationship between firesetting behaviors, antisociality and psychopathology in order to shed light on the psychological peculiarity of the fire-setting phenomena and to draw preliminary indications for intervention and future research. Results underline that firesetters share common characteristics with criminal populations. In particular, aspects related to the antisociality domain in firesetters are similar to those observed in inmate convicted for property offences. However, the examination of the role played by psychopathology in firesetters evidences some similarities with violent offenders. Moreover, psychopathological features in firesetters seems to show some specificities compared to the more general offender population. In the conclusion section, forensic and clinical implications are discussed and future line of research are delineated
Gambling and antisocial behavior: considerations about a social urgency
No full textThis paper aims to offer some considerations about the relationship between Gambling Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder, in order to shed light on the links that exist between these two disorders. The first aim of the essay is to discuss the research documenting a link between the GD and the ASPD by an exhaustive overview. Then, it looks at various aspects related to antisociality, highlighting how a multidimensional view of this construct is essential for an accurate understanding of its link with the DGA. The reading of the main theoretical models about gambling is an opportunity for further considerations about the comorbidities between antisocial behavior and GD, providing a detailed discussion of the empirical evidence that can explain why and how of this comorbidity. Finally, the essay aims to provide a useful guidance, clinical and forensic, for the psychologists involved in this area considering the individual and social consequences of GD
Modulation of K+ conductances by Ca2+ and human chorionic gonadotrophin in Leydig cells from mature rat testis
No full text1. Although 12 the control of steroidogenic activity of the Leydig cell by the peptides luteinizing hormone (LK) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is clearly mediated by cAMP, the extent to which Ca2+ controls the Leydig cell function is less well defined. In the present study, the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was used to investigate the modulation of potassium conductances by calcium and hCG, in the Leydig cells from mature rat testis.
2. In symmetrical glutamate solutions, depolarizations elicited outwardly rectifying currents, which were mainly carried by potassium and were blocked by tetraethylammonium and 4-aminopyridine, for values of [Ca2+](i) below 10(-8) M, transient currents of low amplitudes, insensitive to charybdotoxin (CTX) and iberiotoxin (IBTX), mere activated above -40 mV. For [Ca2+](i) values of 10(-7) M and above, noisy currents with slow activation kinetics were activated above 0 mV. These currents were sustained and were sensitive to CTX and IBTX.
3. Both current types were modulated by intracellular calcium. Ionomycin and a [Ca2+](i) elevation in the range from 10(-9) to 10(-7) M, both inhibited the CTX-insensitive currents, whereas a rise in the calcium concentration above 10(-7) M increased the amplitude and shifted the threshold of activation of the CTX-sensitive currents to less positive levels.
4. hCG (1-50 in, ml(-1)), in conditions where the chloride currents were strongly inhibited by 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (SITS), induced a partial inhibition of the CTX-insensitive currents but was unable to increase the CTX-sensitive currents
5. No voltage-sensitive calcium current was recorded in control or hCG-stimulated cells.
6. The results indicate that hCG inhibits one kind of Ca2+ modulated channel, perhaps as a result of a moderate [Ca2+](i) rise, but is unable to increase the intracellular Ca2+ concentration to the range in which large conductance Ca2+-dependent channels are activated
Social media misuse explained by emotion dysregulation and self-concept: an ecological momentary assessment approach
No full textStudies suggested that emotion dysregulation and identity processes are involved in social media (SM) misuse, even if their proximal role has not been investigated. Previous studies rarely discriminated between specific activities or between types of SM. We recruited 50 young adults and implemented a momentary ecological assessment measurement. Four times by day, during seven days, we measured SM use, frequency of several activities on SM, emotion dysregulation, distress and clarity of self-concept. Daily time spent on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok were retrieved from devices. Intradaily changes in emotion dysregulation and clarity of self-concept predict changes in SM addiction symptoms and frequency of use according to the type of activity. Daily changes in time spent on SM were not predicted by emotion dysregulation, distress and self-concept clarity. Findings suggest that emotion dysregulation and poor self-concept clarity are proximal risk factors for SM misuse
