Migrant Families and Religious Belonging
Famiglie migranti e minori con disabilità. Problematiche e prospettive della presa in carico
Analizzare le condizioni di vita delle famiglie migranti in cui è presente un figlio disabile risponde a una esigenza quanto mai attuale. Le reti familiari in cui è presente un minore disabile possono essere considerate potenzialmente multiproblematiche: la loro vulnerabilità, infatti, è legata tanto alla diagnosi, alla cura e alla gestione della disabilità, quanto all'essere stranieri, talvolta privi di un adeguato sostegno sociale, o in condizi…
Contact with migrants and perceived school climate as correlates of bullying toward migrants classmates
This study investigates whether the quantity and quality of contact with migrants and perceiving that cultural diversity is accepted at school (as a dimension of the perceived school climate) are associated with perpetrating bullying toward migrant classmates. Quantity and quality of contact are also examined as moderators of the association between perceived cultural acceptance at school and bullying toward migrant students. One hundred and sixt…
Religious Belonging and (Forced) Migration
Procesos de aculturación, identidad étnica y menores migrantes
Este artículo interroga la compleja interacción del proceso de aculturación y la construcción de la identidad étnica en menores con antecedentes migratorios. Después de describir la centralidad del concepto de "etnicidad", se presenta una tipología de cuatro identidades "posibles", a partir del modelo cuádruple de estrategias de aculturación de John Berry. Características, tendencias y riesgos se describen para la posible identidad identificada
Maternal mind-mindedness as a linking mechanism between childbirth-related posttraumatic stress symptoms and parenting stress
The researchers of this study have two aims. The first aim is to verify whether posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, evaluated at 87 hours and at 3 months postpartum, are associated with maternal mind-mindedness (MM) and parenting stress, measured at 17 months postpartum. The second aim is to investigate, at 17 months, the predictive effects of PTS symptoms on the dimensions of parenting stress and to explore whether MM mediates these association…
Crossing alone the Mediterranean sea. Some critical issues about unaccompanied minors in Europe
Despite the increasing social impact of unaccompanied migrant minors (UAMs) in many European Union (EU) member states, EU regulations on UAMs are still inadequate and the necessary protection measures are thus insufficient. More specifically, the “best interest of the child”, stated in a large number of international documents, may not be properly guaranteed. In addition, there is often a discrepancy between the rights of migrant children, accord…
The Effects of Expressive Writing on Postpartum Depression and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms
This study investigated whether an Expressive Writing intervention decreased depression and posttraumatic stress symptoms after childbirth. 113 women (M age = 31.26 yr., SD = 4.42) were assessed at Time 1 for depression (Beck Depression Inventory) and PTS (Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire) in the first days after childbirth, then randomized to either expressive writing or neutral writing conditions and reassessed at Time 2, 3 months later. The result…
Migrant Children in Europe
METHODS. The prevalence of dementia was investigated in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. In all, 3524 subjects, > or = 65 years old, were sampled randomly (urban and rural populations 61.1% and 38.9% respectively). Phase 1 of the survey was carried out by specially trained students of the Faculty of Medicine who used the Mini-Mental State (MMS) scale (interview rate: 94.3%) to screen 522 (15.8%) of the 3312 subjects for the phase 2 survey. Phase 2, con…
Family Relations and Psychosocial Risk in Families with an Obese Adolescent
The aim of the present study is a comparison of family relations in families with an obese adolescent and families with a normal-weight adolescent. Particularly, we studied the parents' and children's perceptions of some crucial areas of their relationship, e.g., communication, support, and some factors of "psychosocial risk" for the adolescents. We compared 30 family triads each with an obese child and 30 family triads each with a normal-weight …
Family Relations and Psychosocial Risk in Families With an Obese Adolescent
Systemic Perspective on Obesity in Childhood
33 mother-child dyads with an obese child (aged 9 to 12 years) and a similar control group were studied. The power interaction was used as an indicator of the style of the relationship between mother and child. To analyse the interactions the model of Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson was used because it considers three different possible situations of complementarity, symmetry, and parallelism. A revised version of the Scoresby Relationship Style …
