Lonely and/or alone? A person-centred study of young adults’ childhood trauma, attachment orientations, and patterns of social media use
Previous evidence links psychosocial difficulties to social media (SM) use patterns in young adulthood. This study investigated differences between young adults’ profiles based on loneliness and social isolation across different SM use patterns, including problematic SM use (PSMU), active and passive SM use, as well as online social anxiety, adult attachment orientations (anxiety and avoidance), and childhood trauma, through a person-centred appr…
Childhood emotional neglect and problematic social media use in young adults
Childhood emotional neglect has been associated with maladaptive online behaviours, including problematic social media use (PSMU). However, less is known about the conditions under which this early relational vulnerability is more strongly related to PSMU in young adulthood. The present study examined whether loneliness moderated the association between childhood emotional neglect and PSMU in young adults, and whether this effect was conditioned …
Investigating the facets of stigma toward individuals with mental health disorders using the Italian adaptation of the Attribution Questionnaire–9
The present research has two goals: first, to validate the Italian version of the Attribution Questionnaire-9. Second, to investigate the validity of the Attribution Questionnaire-9, using a network analysis approach, with four mental disorders-that is, schizophrenia, anorexia, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder. In Study 1 (N = 951), a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. In Study 2 (N = 3,966), a network analysis, was perfor…
The Women's EmotionS, Trauma and EmpowErMent (W-ES.T.EEM) Pilot Study
News Media Representation of Intimate Partner Violence
The Italian Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-8 (Ders-8)
The IT-DERS-8 has solid psychometric properties and, given its normative data and cut-off, represents a valid measure for assessing and identifying individuals with non-problematic (vs. at risk) in Italian adult samples
Attachment anxiety, loneliness, and death anxiety in problematic social media use
Problematic social media use (PSMU) has emerged as a growing concern due to its association with mental health challenges and social functioning difficulties. We investigated the role of attachment anxiety, loneliness (i.e., isolation, relational disconnectedness, and trait loneliness), and death anxiety in PSMU. A sample of 799 adult social media users (412 women, 387 men) aged 18-65 completed a battery of self-report questionnaires and socio-de…
Understanding the role of self‐esteem and emotion dysregulation in victims of intimate partner violence
Self‐esteem and emotion dysregulation appear to be important factors in the psychological well‐being of trauma survivors. On the one hand, self‐esteem may act as a shield against the psychological consequences of traumatic experiences; on the other hand, emotion regulation can affect the way individuals deal with post‐traumatic affects (e.g., fear, terror, shame, and guilt). Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the role th…
Guilt, alexithymia, and posttraumatic symptoms in the aftermath of intimate partner violence
The results of this study have important implications for the development of interventions tailored to the specific needs of women who have experienced IPV. In particular, interventions that target and address guilt and alexithymia hold promise for effectively mitigating symptoms of PTSD in this population. By addressing these underlying factors, interventions can help women navigate their trauma, facilitate emotional processing, and support thei…
Ten years since its definition and validation
A widely known self-report scale, the Mental Disorder Causal Beliefs (MDCB), assesses people’s beliefs about the etiology of mental illnesses, which have been shown to play a major role in stigma toward them. The purpose of the present research was to investigate the psychometric properties of the MDCB scale 10 years after its development. In Study 1 (N = 601), the factorial structure of the MDCB scale was investigated. The results showed that th…
Dieting, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, and orthorexia nervosa
BACKGROUND: Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is a condition characterized by an obsessive focus on healthy eating, inflexible dietary rules, and persistent preoccupations with food. Despite it has been recently the subject of increasingly relevant studies, little is known about the mechanisms that might foster ON symptoms. OBJECTIVE: This study used a structural equation modeling approach to test the mediating effect of thoughts, worries, and preoccupatio…
It’s so Beneficial to be Able to Stop the Cycle
Purpose This study aimed to explore how pregnant women who experience Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) and men who commit DVA understand the impact of their childhood environment on their relationships with their children and co-parents, and how a DVA psychological intervention may shape their parenting. Methods Repeated individual qualitative interviews were conducted with pregnant mothers and fathers who reported DVA and were taking part in a …
Stigma toward internalizing and externalizing disorders
This study's first aim was to explore whether stigma's facets differ between internalizing and externalizing disorders in adolescence. The second aim was to compare the relationships among stigma's facets toward these disorders. Two vignettes depicting a peer with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were used with 616 adolescents in Italy. A Repeated measure MANOVA showed biogenetic causes, social di…
Ecological and Construct Validity of a New Technical Level Cuban Dance Field Test
The study aimed to explore the sensitivity and specificity of a new methodological approach related to the musical rhythm for discriminating a competitive Cuban dancer's (CDCs) level. Thirty CDCs (Age 23.87 ± 1.76 years, body mass 60.33 ± 9.45 kg, stature 1.68 ± 0.07 m) were divided into three groups: beginner (BEG, n = 10), intermediate (INT, n = 10), and advanced (ADV, n = 10) according to their training experience/level. Each dancer was assess…
The ACTyourCHANGE in Teens Study Protocol
This Randomized Controlled Trial [(RCT) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based intervention combined with treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU only in improving psychological conditions in a sample of adolescents with obesity (body mass index, BMI > 97th percentile for age and sex) within the context of a wider multidisciplinary rehabilitation program for weight loss. Fifty consecutive adol…
The power of weight and the weight of power in adolescence
Obesity is an important emerging problem in adolescence because it causes psychological distress and social prejudice. Using Ugazio’s theory, this study aims to test if the construct ‘winner/loser’ and its associated meanings are used and considered important among obese adolescents. The personal constructs of 68 participants (young and adult; obese and normal weight) were elicited through the repertory grid test and analysed using the log-linear…
