What Mafia do we have in mind? An exploratory study on mafia representation among ordinary people
Labels are frames that emphasize certain characteristics of a phenomenon while downplaying others. The mafia, widely recognized as a criminal organization, can also reveal much about the ways in which we give meaning to our life experiences. This study explores contemporary representations of the mafia among ordinary people in southern Italy. Using a semi-structured questionnaire, we collected open-ended responses from 587 participants about how …
It Is Time to Take Complaints Seriously? An Exploratory Analysis of Communications Sent by Users to a Public Healthcare Agency before, during and after the Covid-19 Pandemic
Taking due account of users' perspectives is crucial for improving the quality of healthcare services. This study aimed to analyse the representations and evaluation criteria that users of a public health agency express towards care and treatment services and to explore whether and how the content and meaning of their communications varied according to pre-pandemic, pandemic or post-pandemic periods. A total of 501 communications sent to the publ…
The Covid-19 Pandemic from the Health Workers’ Perspective
Different scholars have emphasised the psychological distress experienced by health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, there are almost no qualitative studies and we know very little about the everyday experience of this group. The present study’s goal was to explore how health workers interpreted the meaning of the pandemic crisis in their life. An online survey was available during the Italian lockdown. Respondents were asked to wri…

To explain the low employment rates of people with disabilities (PwDs), emerging debates have revealed an unexploited potential impact of assistive technology (AT) on human talent and the inclusion process. This article provides a systematic review to critically evaluate the current trends in the literature on AT. A systematic review was performed according to the inclusion criteria of the PRISMA-S guidelines, followed by a thematic analysis iden…
Social Environment and Attitudes toward Covid-19 Anti-Contagious Measures
Social and cultural aspects (i.e., political decision making, discourses in the public sphere, and people's mindsets) played a crucial role in the ways people responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. Framed with the Semiotic-Cultural Psychological Theory (SCPT), the present work aims to explore how individual ways of making sense of their social environment affected individuals' perception of government measures aimed at managing the pandemic and the …
The interplay of community resilience potential, trust in the future and social well‐being
Community resilience (CR) has been mainly investigated as the ability of the community to respond to far‐reaching circumstances. Relatively less attention has been given to the understanding of CR as the ability of the community to deal with everyday problems, that is, community resilience potential (CRP). Using partial least squares path modelling, this study aims to elucidate how communities deal with issues that trouble their everyday function…
Supporting bereaved people
The COVID-19 outbreak has further highlighted the need to strengthen support networks to sustain grieving people. However, we know very little about the experience of those who, because of their emotional connection with the bereaved person or of their social function, find themselves supporting people in grief. The current study aimed to analyze the experience of grievers' informal support providers (relatives and friends, teachers, religious le…

Subjective cultures of the social environment were detected through the questionnaire on the Interpretation of the Social Environment (ISE) in a convenience sample of 771 participants from Italy. Problem gambling, drinking, internet use and smoking were assessed. A problem gro…
