The Perception of Educational Barriers, Their Sociodemographic Correlates, and Their Relationship with Future Orientation in Italian Adolescents
Adolescents often perceive various educational barriers that may hinder their academic engagement and future planning. These barriers, whether internal (e.g., low self-efficacy) or external (e.g., socioeconomic constraints), are shaped by both individual and contextual factors. This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived educational barriers and future orientation among Italian high school students, with a focus on gender and s…
Parent Attachment and Video Gaming Addiction
Previous research has demonstrated both direct and indirect relationships between parental attachment and gaming addiction in adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the role of parental attachment in adolescent gaming addiction, specifically examining how maladaptive daydreaming and perceived social support function as mediators in this relationship. A convenience sample of 898 Italian adolescents (550 female, Mage = 14.89 years, SD = 1.71)…

Research on future orientation has primarily focused on adolescents due to their perceived necessity to prepare for adulthood. To investigate the hopes and fears of Italian adolescents in post-pandemic times, as well as age and gender differences and the associations between future orientation, self-efficacy, and …
Resilience and psychological distress in the transition to university
Young adults face numerous challenges during their first year of university, which is considered by various researchers to be a time of potential threat and acute stress. These challenges were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in disruption of old learning and social structures that make it all the more difficult to adapt. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between resilience, emotion regulation, a…
The influence of resilience and future orientation on academic achievement during the transition to high school
This study applies Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory to analyse how social support impacts resilience, future outlook, and academic performance during high school transition. Self-report questionnaires were completed by 958 high school students (54.5% female) ages 13–1 (M = 13.72, SD = 0.47). After descriptive and correlational analyses, path analysis explored the mediating function of general social support and its specific manifesta…
Students' transition into higher education
Transition into higher education (HE) has received increased interest in recent years, since it represents a challenging period for students. The aim of this study was to further understand the associations between self‐efficacy, academic achievements, and regulation in first‐year university students during their transition into HE. The convenience sample consisted of 374 first‐year university students (230 females, 61.5%), aged from 18 to 33 ( M…
The transition to university in a sample of Italian students
Grounded in literature on school transitions and autobiographical memory, this study focuses on the personal memories of a sample of 112 young Italian adults facing their transition to university. Participants were asked to recall five memories of their high school transition experience and, subsequently, the students were assessed in terms of resilience, future orientation, academic motivation, university transition experience, and subjective we…
Gender, stereotypes and grade level in the draw-a-scientist test in Italian schoolchildren
The ways in which children from different countries view and draw scientists have been investigated in numerous studies. The present study explored Italian primary school students’ images of scientists and their work, with a particular focus on gender and grade level differences. A sample of 686 students (368 girls and 318 boys) from the first (n = 193), second (n = 155), fourth (n = 180), and fifth (n = 158) grades were asked to draw a scientist…
Problematic gambling behaviour in adolescents
A non-random sample of 560 Italian high school students completed a questionnaire consisting of demographic items and questions about gambling behaviour, motivations, and perceived social, self-regulatory, and academic self-efficacy. Among these participants, 49 of them were classified as at-risk gamblers, 21 as problem gamblers, and the rest as non-at-risk/problem gamblers or non-players. Chi-square tests showed that gambling, several game types…
The Relationship between Children's Aspiration Profiles and Self-Efficacy, Life Satisfaction, and Academic Achievement

Using a thematic approach, the present study investigates children's personal aspirations for their adult lives via a questionnaire that addressed (1) the types of aspiration profiles present in a sample of 456 Italian students aged 8-13 and balanced for gender, and (2) how these profiles differ according to demographics, the number of asp…
