Restless minds, restless nights
The relationship between sleep, psychological distress, and problematic use of social networks in older adults
Social networking sites (SNS) use is associated with a range of positive outcomes, but a minority of vulnerable individuals experience problematic social networking site use (PSNSU). The relationship between PSNSU, sleep habits, and psychological distress remains insufficiently studied, particularly among older adults. As longer life expectancies and socioeconomic development contribute to the rising prevalence of PSNSU in this population, furthe…
Longitudinal associations of depression, anxiety, and stress among healthcare workers assisting patients with end-stage cancer during the Covid-19 pandemic
Overall, the results of this study highlight that emotional exhaustion moderated depression and anxiety over time. Psychological interventions to promote psychological mental health among healthcare workers assisting patients with end-stage cancer should carefully consider these findings
Insecure Minds through the Looking Glass
Research shows that insecure attachment styles and failures in mentalizing are associated with increased problematic social media use (PSMU). This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of failures in mentalizing in the relationships between attachment styles and PSMU within a large sample of individuals from the community. The study involved the participation of 3600 adult volunteers (2312 females, 64.2%) aged between 18 and 60 years old …
Longitudinal associations between maladaptive daydreaming and psychological distress during the Covid-19 health crisis
Are Defense Styles Mediators between traumatic Experiences and Maladaptive Daydreaming
Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is a new proposed mental disorder in which an excessive absorption in vivid, narrative fantasies generates impairments in various life domains. This study aimed to examine the role of traumatic life experiences and immature, neurotic, and mature defense styles in MD. Three hundred and fifty-six Italian adults, ranging in age from 18 to 60 years completed an online survey, including measures of MD, traumatic life event…
Substance Addictive Behaviors and Their Relationship with Interpersonal Trauma, Emotion Dysregulation, and Psychopathological Symptoms
Fear of Covid-19 and future orientation

ACTonFood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-Based Group Treatment Compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Based Group Treatment for Weight Loss Maintenance
The purpose of this Individually Randomized Group Treatment Trial was to compare an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based (ACT) group intervention and a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based (CBT) group intervention for weight loss maintenance in a sample of adult patients with obesity seeking treatment for weight loss. One hundred and fifty-five adults (BMI: Kg/m 2 = 43.8 [6.8]) attending a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program for weight loss…
Maladaptive Daydreaming in Relation to Linguistic Features and Attachment Style
(1) Background: Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is a concept that describes a significant imaginary activity that replaces human engagement and/or interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational functioning. We explored the interaction between attachment style, reflective functioning (RF), and the narrative dimension of MD. (2) Methods: 414 adults completed an online survey, including socio-demographic variables, the 16-item Maladaptive Daydr…
Time Waits for No One
The primary aim is to describe the changes in the knowledge of mental health conditions, the attitudes toward the mentally ill, and the intended behaviour towards people with mental illness among the entire student population of the third year of a degree course in Psychology. A total of 570 students attended a seminar on stigma towards mental illness and were invited to complete an online survey which collected data on sociodemographic character…
Are we dreaming or are we awake? A quali-quantitative analysis of dream narratives and dreaming process during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictive measures taken against the spread of the contagion can be considered as traumatic events having a major impact on mental health. Dreams after undergoing traumatic experiences could “replay” traumatic scenes or have a para-therapeutic role that facilitates connections between a traumatic event and associated emotions. However, the studies carried out thus far in the field of sleep and dreams during the COV…
