Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Forensic Psychology
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly embedded within forensic psychological practice, shaping how criminal risk, legal responsibility and public safety are assessed. AI tools are now used in recidivism prediction, behavioural analysis, deception detection and investigative support, high‐stakes domains where errors can have profound consequences. Despite this rapid adoption, the existing literature remains fragmented, with most re…
Seeing and Being Seen
Videoconferencing has become a central context for work, teaching, and social interaction, yet the psychological effects of webcam use remain unclear. In particular, different webcam configurations may shape speakers′ feelings of connection, exclusion, and self‐focused attention in distinct ways. This paper examined how speakers′ and audiences′ webcam status influences presenters′ experiences in videoconferencing. In Study 1 ( N = 121), participa…
The Parent Phone Use Regulation Efficacy Scale (P‐Pure)
Parents often rely on smartphones in daily life. While smartphones offer benefits, they also present challenges, such as potential distraction and delayed responsiveness. It is also possible that problematic smartphone habits may develop, such as repeated checking or difficulty controlling use. Furthermore, self‐efficacy around regulating one’s phone use is tied to the ability to change, meaning self‐efficacy could be a key mechanism impacting th…
Emotion Regulation Strategies and Social Media Addiction
The increasing prevalence of social media addiction (SMA) among adolescents poses significant challenges for mental health, highlighting the need for effective prevention and intervention strategies. This study investigates how two well‐known emotion regulation strategies—cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression—relate to SMA, with depressive symptoms and social anxiety as mediators, focusing on gender differences in an Italian adolescent…
Psychometric Properties of the Job Crafting Questionnaire Among Slovak Employees Working in Flexible Work Arrangements
The restructuring of work through time and spatial flexibility has gained popularity in numerous organizations. This study aims to explore the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Job Crafting Questionnaire and establish its validity within a flexible work environment. A total of 309 adult workers from various economic sectors participated in the survey (with a mean age of 30.26 years, 60% female). Confirmatory factor analysis con…
Machine Learning–Driven Adaptive Testing
This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of machine learning classification algorithms as a strategy to overcome the limitations associated with traditional methods for developing computerized adaptive versions of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory‐2 (MMPI‐2). The focus is on the three scales in the neurotic area of the instrument, namely, hypochondria, depression, and hysteria, which were administered electronically to a nonclin…
Telepractice of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)
Telepractice in neuropsychology has become increasingly prevalent in recent years due to its ability to provide accessible and convenient care to patients regardless of their location. However, the validation of many neuropsychological tools for distance assessments remains limited, and there is a particular lack of remotely administered assessment tests with alternate forms, which are crucial for monitoring symptoms and performance in clinical c…
Measuring Technostress in Everyday Life
As technology becomes ever‐present in daily routines, the impact of technostress (TS) extends beyond the workplace, calling for a broader investigation of the construct. This study was aimed at developing a scale to measure TS in everyday life. A 68‐item pool capturing key TS dimensions (TS creators) identified through literature review was administered to a large sample of respondents from the general population ( N = 602). A cross‐validation ap…
Using the K‐Means Node Clustering Method and ROC Curve Analysis to Define Cut‐Off Scores for the Caregiving System Scale
This study was conducted to establish cut‐off scores for the subscales of the Caregiving System Scale (CSS). Two samples of Italian adults ( N 's = 682 and 227) completed the CSS. In the first sample, K‐means node clustering and ROC curve analyses were conducted. Four caregiving profiles were identified and cut‐off scores were calculated for classifying participants into these profiles. In the second sample, participants completed the CSS and the…
Investigating the Psychometric Properties of the Emotion Regulation Flexibility Questionnaire in the Italian Context
Background: Following the idea that individuals engage with different strategies to regulate their emotional experiences, scholars in the field of psychology have shown increasing interest in the notion of emotion regulation flexibility. Despite growing attention to this construct, validated instruments for assessing individuals’ capacity to choose among different emotion regulation strategies effectively are limited, particularly in non-English-…
Humans Mindlessly Treat AI Virtual Agents as Social Beings, but This Tendency Diminishes Among the Young
The “social being” perspective has largely influenced the design and research of AI virtual agents. Do humans really treat these agents as social beings? To test this, we conducted a 2 between (Cyberball condition: exclusion vs. fair play) × 2 within (coplayer type: AGENT vs. HUMAN) online experiment employing the Cyberball paradigm; we investigated how participants ( N = 244) responded when they observed an AI virtual agent being ostracised or t…
Psychosocial risk and protective factors for youth problem behavior are associated with food addiction in the Generation Z
Objective: Food Addiction (FA) and other well-known risk behavior as substance misuse tend to co-occur and may share similar risk and protective factors. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the diagnosis/severity of FA and psychosocial domains typically related to risk behavior syndrome in a large, nationally representative community sample of Generation Z underage Italian students. Method: The sample consisted of 8,755 st…
Validation of the German work-related basic need satisfaction scale (W-BNS-G)
Currently, there is no validated German tool that captures the basic needs as outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) in the organizational context. To be able to collect reliable and valid data for research and use the results of German research on SDT to derive and implement empirically grounded practical implications that foster employee well-being, performance, and companies’ growth, a validated measurement tool is a compulsory requiremen…
Development of a scale for capturing psychological aspects of physical–digital integration
The present work aims at developing a scale for the assessment of a construct that we called “physical–digital integration”, which refers to the tendency of some individuals not to perceive a clear differentiation between feelings and perceptions that pertain to the physical or digital environment. The construct is articulated in four facets: identity, social relationships, time–space perception, and sensory perception. Data from a sample of 369 …
“Doing well by doing good”
Research has supported the hypothesis that volunteering enhances volunteers’ well-being. However, more clarity is needed regarding the link between volunteering and the various facets of well-being (i.e., hedonic vs eudaimonic) and the mechanisms that favor the increase of the various facets of well-being in volunteers. One hundred and seventy-five volunteers serving in various organizations were involved in the study. First, the results showed t…
Shortening and Personalizing Psychodiagnostic Assessments with Decision Tree-Machine Learning Classifiers
The development of psychological assessment tools that accurately and efficiently classify individuals as having or not a specific diagnosis is a major challenge for test developers and mental health professionals. This paper shows how machine learning (ML) provides a valuable framework to improve the accuracy and efficiency of psychodiagnostic classifications. The method is illustrated using an empirical example based on the Patient Health Quest…
Validation of the HRI-24 on Adolescents and Development of a Short Version of the Instrument
The Hikikomori phenomenon often starts during adolescence and, once it develops, it tends to persist. Thus, having an instrument specifically validated for detecting it at early ages could play a pivotal role to reduce the chronicity risk. This work aims to validate the 24-item Hikikomori Risk Inventory (HRI-24) on adolescents and to develop a short version of it. In Study 1, an exploratory structural equation model was used to evaluate the funct…
The distinctive role of morality in fostering behavioural tendencies of facilitation towards Romanian Roma and immigrants
Emotional Engagement and Caring Relationships
In spite of the importance of emotion regulation for nurses' well-being, little is known about which strategies nurses habitually use, how these strategies combine in order to regulate their emotional distress, and how these are related to their caregiving orientations. The current study aimed to explore the emotion regulation repertoires that characterize health-care providers and to investigate the association between these repertoires and care…
The mediating role of values between personality and religiosity
The aim of this work was to examine the relationships between Eysenck’s personality traits (psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism), Schwartz’s values, and religiosity. To this purpose a sample of Italian teenagers (N = 343; mean age 15.43, SD = 1.023) were asked to fill out a battery of questionnaires and, a structural equation model was tested, where the mediating role of Schwartz’s values between personality traits, and religiosity was acc…
