Across all studies, the results showed that higher le…

This study aimed to examine an integrated model of the mediation role of need satisfaction and frustration in the association between the sibling relationship and interpersonal competence and social anxiety in young adults and their siblings. In a sample of 1621 pairs of siblings with a range age between 16 and 30 years old, the actor-partner interdependence mediation model showed that (a) a positive sibling relationship promotes need satisfactio…
Psychometric Analysis and Validation of the Italian Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale

Despite the many benefits of social networking, a small minority of individuals appear to develop issues surrounding social media use, and more specifically Facebook use. It has, therefore, led some scholars to describe such problematic activity as a behavioral addiction. Such problematic behaviors have been reported in many countries including …
The Love Addiction Inventory: Preliminary Findings of the Development Process and Psychometric Characteristics
Although the existence of dysfunctional love relationships is well known and the term “love addiction” dates back to the 1970s, empirical studies on this topic are still limited. The biggest problem is arguably is the lack of a clear definition of the love addiction construct and the lack of psychometric instruments for the assessment of its symptoms. The aim of the present study was to develop and examine the psychometric characteristics of a se…

Fifty patients were asked to complete a worksheet including the Hospita…

Two studies were conducted to examine (a) the role of parental need frustration as a predictor of parental psychological control, (b) the role of parental need satisfaction as a predictor of parental autonomy support, and (c) the role of parents' psychological control and autonomy support in…
The Mediational Role of Psychological Basic Needs in the Relation Between Conception of God and Psychological Outcomes

The participants were 946 parents ages 29-60 years (mothers: n = …
