Italian validation of the subjective vitality scale. Relationships with extraversion, emotional stability, and basic psychological need satisfaction
This study provided validity evidence for the Italian version of the Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS), also examining the associations with two personality traits (extraversion and emotional stability) and the mediation role of basic psychological need satisfaction. Study 1 involved 422 participants to assess the psychometric properties of the Italian trait version of the SVS. Study 2 (N = 248) included measures of personality characteristics and …
Exploring Meta-Reasoning Propositional Confidence in Conspiratorial Beliefs and Socio-Cognitive Polarization
Conspiracy theories have pervaded human thought across time and cultures, often emerging during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, where they influenced public behaviors and attitudes, notably in vaccine hesitancy. This research explores the metacognitive foundations of conspiracy beliefs, particularly focusing on how individuals monitor and assess their problem-solving processes. We propose that conspiracy beliefs are linked to high propositi…
Profiling older adults’ decision-making under risk
In decision making under risk manifold individual differences are involved. To investigate their effect – specifically the effects of executive functions, memory, impulsivity, and consideration for future consequences − 130 healthy older adults were assessed through cognitive tests, self-report tools, and decisional tasks (the Game of Dice Task and the Balloon Analogue Risk-Taking Task). From a Latent Profile Analysis, three profiles characterise…
Classification of response inhibition measures
Inhibition is a fundamental component of self-regulation which can be defined as the ability to suppress an automatic response to execute an appropriate one. Given its impact on adaptation, wellbeing, and life satisfaction, the construct of inhibition has been extensively investigated in literature from manifold perspectives. Theoretical models of inhibition have highlighted its multi-componential nature, giving reason of why a multitude of exper…

Women’s Attitudes Towards Menstruation and Their Associations With Well-Being
Over the lifetime, women develop attitudes toward menstruation, which can affect their physical and psychological well-being. Up to now, literature has poorly investigated the relationship between attitudes toward menstruation, specific variables potentially associated with these attitudes - such as women's age, sources of information, level of education, use of hormonal contraceptives - and some indicators of well-being, such as body appreciatio…
Creative Minds in a Polarized World
In today's digital milieu, characterized by pervasive media exposure, the intricate interplay between individual differences and cognitive processes has garnered significant scholarly interest. A notable facet of this interrelation pertains to the nexus between cognitive flexibility and individuals' engagement with online information. Recognized as essential for creative cognition, cognitive flexibility encompasses various facets of human reasoni…
Tax aversion as an implicit phenomenon
Does social rigidity predict cognitive rigidity? Profiles of socio-cognitive polarization
Executive functioning and divergent thinking predict creative problem-solving in young adults and elderlies
The role of executive functioning in creative thinking is under debate. Some authors suggested that increased inhibitory control, a component of executive functioning, is detrimental to creative solutions, whereas others argued that executive functions are central to creative problem-solving, thus questioning Guilford’s classical distinction between divergent and convergent thinking. Executive functions decline with age. In this study, we investi…
Not Getting Vaccinated? It Is a Matter of Problem-Solving Abilities and Socio-Cognitive Polarization
The anti-COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the United States provided a significant contribution to the control of the virus spread. Despite the recommendations by public health institutions, vaccine skepticism and hesitancy contributed to low vaccine uptake, thus possibly disrupting the management of preventable diseases associated with the COVID-19 infection. The process that led individuals to accept COVID-19 vaccines required the ability to ga…
The interplay between risk and protective factors during the initial height of the Covid-19 crisis in Italy
Risk-Perception Change Associated with Covid-19 Vaccine’s Side Effects
The COVID-19 vaccine appears to be a crucial requirement to fight the pandemic. However, a part of the population possesses negative attitudes towards the vaccine. The spread of conspiracy theories and contradictory information about the pandemic have altered the population's perception of risk. The risk-perception of the vaccine's side effects may be affected by individual differences. The complex relationship between risk-perception and individ…
Going Viral
In times of uncertainty, people often seek out information to help alleviate fear, possibly leaving them vulnerable to false information. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we attended to a viral spread of incorrect and misleading information that compromised collective actions and public health measures to contain the spread of the disease. We investigated the influence of fear of COVID-19 on social and cognitive factors including believing in fake n…
Financial Well-Being and Its Relationship with Subjective and Psychological Well-Being Among Emerging Adults
The Role of Spirituality and Religiosity in Subjective Well-Being of Individuals With Different Religious Status
Spirituality and religiosity have found to be positive predictors of subjective well-being, even if results are not altogether consistent across studies. This mixed evidence are probably due to the inadequate operationalization of the constructs as well as the neglect of the moderation effect that the individuals’ religious status can have on the relation between spirituality/religiosity and subjective well-being. The current study aimed to inves…
Interpersonal trust in doctor-patient relation
Ambiguity and uncertainty tolerance, need for cognition, and their association with stress. A study among Italian practicing physicians
JSQ: Job stress questionnaire; NFCS: Need for cognitive closure scale; PRU: Physicians' reactions to uncertainty; TFA: Tolerance for ambiguity
A preliminary investigation about the relationship between well-being and fertility status in different menstrual cycle phases
Decision-Making Styles in the Workplace
Two procedures were adopted to assess decision-making styles in the workplace: (a) the administration of traditional standardized self-report questionnaires and (b) open-ended questions about the way respondents would take decisions in a critical business case. Seventy-four adults were given two questionnaires: the Preference for Intuition and Deliberation, which assesses “deliberative” or “intuitive” decision style, and the Style of Learning and…
