The placebo effect in reading performance: A cross-over experimental study
Converging evidence suggests that clinically-relevant benefits from placebo treatment - such as words and rituals of the therapeutic act - may change the chemistry and circuitry of the brain underlying perceptual and sensorimotor enhancements. The present study aimed to test whether placebo and nocebo effects can also modulate high-level processing, such as single word reading and pseudoword decoding. In a within-subject experiment, 102 young adu…
Pain Experience During Rapid Maxillary Expansion: A Prospective Observational Study
Aim: Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a widely used interceptive orthodontic procedure in pediatric patients that is often associated with discomfort and pain, particularly during the initial phase of treatment. The present study aims to analyze the intensity and temporal trend of pain perceived by pediatric patients undergoing rapid palatal expansion (RME) by evaluating the influence of factors such as age, sex, type of maxillary transverse de…
Attitudes Toward the Use of Conditional Automated Vehicles in the Technology Acceptance Model Framework: Evidence from an Italian Sample
Automated vehicles (AVs) have the potential to significantly enhance road safety, traffic efficiency, and mobility access by supporting or replacing human control during driving. However, the success of this transition hinges on people’s attitudes. This study explores the dimensionality and factor interactions in the adaptation of the technology acceptance model (TAM) to conditional AVs applied to an Italian sample, to provide a new perspective o…
Psychological and Physical Health Improvements After Coronary Bypass: A Longitudinal Study in Cardiovascular Rehabilitation
Background: Patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery often experience both physical and psychological challenges in the post-acute phase and thus follow an integrated rehabilitation program. Objective: This study aimed to examine changes in anxiety, depression, physical health, and mental health from admission to discharge and during a follow-up period up to 6 months after discharge. Methods: This study investigated longit…
Psychometric Properties of the ASA-27 in Emerging Adults: Toward a Shortened, Culturally Adapted Measure
Emerging adulthood is characterized by transitions toward independence, where separation anxiety may intensify. Despite its robust psychometric properties, previously investigated on adult samples, the Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA-27) lacks formal validation for emerging adults. This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the ASA-27 on a sample of Italian emerging adults. 863 participants completed the ASA-27 and…
The role of the Covid-19 impersonal threat strengthening the associations of right-wing attitudes, nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiments
Literature showed that the link between right-wing attitudes and ethnocentric attitudes gets stronger under existential threats, but the role exerted by an impersonal threat – as COVID-19 – on right-wing attitudes is still unclear. This study aimed to highlight the role of anxiety exerted by the impersonal COVID-19 threat on the relationship between right-wing attitudes and ethnocentric attitudes, as nationalism and anti-immigrants’ sentiments. A…
Moral reasoning behind the veil of ignorance: An investigation into perspective‐taking accessibility in the context of autonomous vehicles
Perspective‐taking (PT) accessibility has been recognized as an important factor in affecting moral reasoning, also playing a non‐trivial role in moral investigation towards autonomous vehicles (AVs). A new proposal to deepen this effect leverages the principles of the veil of ignorance (VOI), as a moral reasoning device aimed to control self‐interested decisions by limiting the access to specific perspectives and to potentially biased informatio…
Moral judgment, decision times and emotional salience of a new developed set of sacrificial manual driving dilemmas
Assessment of perceived support in the context of emergency: Development and validation of the psycho-social support scale
In research and clinical contexts, it is important to briefly evaluate perceived Psychological and Social Support (PSS) to plan psychological interventions and allocate efforts and resources. However, an appropriate brief assessment tool for PSS was lacking. This study aimed at developing a brief and accurate scale to specifically measure PSS in clinical and emergency contexts, with specific, relevant, targeted, and irredundant items. Experienced…
Management of the Pediatric Patient with Suspected Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
In the daily clinical practice of dentistry, particularly in orthodontics and pedodontics, the establishment of a defined management pathway for pediatric patients with OSAS is crucial. The collaboration of a multidisciplinary team with a shared objective of achieving accurate diagnosis and implementing targeted treatment in a timely manner is essential. Regular re-evaluation of patients through clinical and instrumental examinations is recommend…
The Effect of Partial Sleep Deprivation and Time-on-Task on Young Drivers’ Subjective and Objective Sleepiness
Despite sleepiness being considered one of the main factors contributing to road crashes, and even though extensive efforts have been made in the identification of techniques able to detect it, the assessment of fitness-to-drive regarding driving fatigue and sleepiness is still an open issue. In the literature on driver sleepiness, both vehicle-based measures and behavioral measures are used. Concerning the former, the one considered more reliabl…
Difference in Using Protrusion Face Mask before or after Rapid Palatal Expansion in Skeletal Class III Children: A Preliminary Study
Treatment of third-class malocclusions often presents a challenge for orthodontists. Skeletal disharmony is often associated with dental malposition. There are several therapeutic choices, including the use in combination of transverse expansion of the maxilla with rapid palatal expander (RPE) and posterior-anterior traction with a Delaire face mask (FM). The purpose of the study is to verify whether there are significant differences in the treat…
Covid-19 Outbreak Perception in Italian Dentists
Italian dentists were informed correctly on the mode of transmission but partially missed COVID-19 symptoms. Dentists considered the virus infection highly dangerous, and they were not confident in being able to work safely. The lack of precise operating guidelines creates uncertainties on infection control measures and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) use. The participants revealed apprehension for their health and the current and…
