The Relation Between Personal Values and Gratitude
Trait gratitude is an individual characteristic that makes people aware of the positive aspects of their lives and situations, and it represents a significant resource when facing critical life transitions. However, only a few studies have investigated which factors might promote gratitude. This study sought to fill this gap by analyzing the relationship between personal values and trait gratitude in a group of young adults with divorced parents …
Like parents, like children… this is not always the case! A longitudinal study on the family transmission of intergroup contact
During adolescence, opportunities for interethnic interactions can shape future attitudes toward diversity. However, it is unclear how family can influence adolescents' quality of contact in different life contexts. This study aims to fill this gap. A sample of 702 Italian adolescents (M age = 15.61, SD age = 1.11, 48.58% girls) and their parents (615 mothers, M age = 48.45, SD age = 4.34; 487 fathers, M age = 51.22, SD age = 4.92) completed ques…
The family transmission of prejudice toward immigrants. The mediating role of adolescents’ self-transcendence and conservation values
While research on the transmission of prejudice toward immigrants within the family is increasing, it remains scarce. Many studies have explored the role of different mediators in the relationship between parents’ and children’s prejudice (e.g. ideology, empathy), but little empirical research has considered the role of values, despite their strong link with prejudice, especially in their dimensions of conservation and self-transcendence. The aim…
Intergenerational Transmission of Values
The process of value transmission between parents and children is unanimously considered the hallmark of successful socialization. The outcomes of value transmission have been often solely measured in terms of parent-child value similarity, thus assuming that the higher is the parent-child value similarity, the more successful is the value transmission. The present study highlighted the dialectical nature of the intergenerational transmission of …
More Kindness, Less Prejudice against Immigrants? A Preliminary Study with Adolescents
Prejudice against immigrants is a relevant research topic within social psychology. Researchers identified several individual variables affecting anti-immigrant prejudice, such as morality and personality. However, until now, prejudice has never been studied in relation to kindness, which might be a significant protective factor against prejudice. Based on Kohlberg’s theory of moral judgement, four stage dimensions of kindness were identified, fr…
What matters to us”
No previous studies have analyzed values as qualities of relational microsystems, such as the romantic couple. Based on Schwartz's Theory of Human Values, this study examines the psychometric properties of the Portrait Couple Values Questionnaire (PCVQ). It measures four couple value dimensions: conservation, openness to change, self‐enhancement, and self‐transcendence. Five hundred and forty‐six Italian respondents (54.1% women), aged 41.52 year…
Changing Personal Values through Value-Manipulation Tasks
According to the Theory of Basic Human Values, values are relatively stable, but not immutable, abstract goals which strongly influence peoples’ lives. Since their relative stability, psychosocial research is attempting to understand the extent to which it is possible to induce a voluntary change in people’s personal values. The main aim of this study was to systematically review the existing literature on experiments to induce a value change, al…
The Family Transmission of Ethnic Prejudice
Ethnic prejudice is one of the most studied topics in social psychology. Empirical research on its development and intergenerational transmission is increasing but still scarce. This systematic review collected and analyzed psychosocial studies focused on the transmission of ethnic prejudice within families with adolescents. Specifically, it aimed at addressing the following research questions: (a) To what extent is there a vertical (between pare…
Value Consistency across Relational Roles and Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction
Living in today's complex social world can contribute to the development of a multi-faceted personal identity and to the risk of identity dispersion. This study focused on values, which are conceptualised as the core of one's personal identity. It aimed to explore the within-person value consistency across relational roles (i.e., relationships with parents, partners, and friends) and to analyse the association between value consistency, self-conc…
Forgiveness and Family Functioning among Young Adults from Divorced and Married Families
Forgiveness is a response strategy capable of countering the escalation of conflicts and it represents therefore a valuable resource for managing critical individual and family transitions. Among others, parental divorce is a stressful event that requires the reorganization of the entire family. This study, which involved 95 Italian young adults with divorced or married parents, analyzed the relationship between family functioning and forgiveness…
Adolescents’ internalization of moral values
This study analyzed the associations between adolescents’ motivations for internalizing moral values and perceived parental (both father’s and mother’s) promotion of volitional functioning. Based on the Self-Determination Theory, four types of motivations were analyzed: external and introjected motivations, where compliance with values is experienced as being externally controlled or related to a sense of internal obligation; identified and integ…
