Mapping early women sociologists and their contribution to sociological knowledge in a transnational space
Family Connections
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has a strong impact not only on patients' lives but also on their families. The presence of an invalidating environment is one of the key factors in the etiology of BPD. This study evaluated the impact of the Family connections (FC) program on burden, grief, and other clinical variables in 202 caregivers and identified the profiles of participants who improved/deteriorated their levels of burden and grief. Fi…

Background: Alcohol and substance use among young people is a well-documented public health concern, and is particularly prevalent in college populations. Problematic internet use is also an emerging issue, with potential negative effects on academic achievement. University dropout remains a critical challenge, especially among freshmen, with research highlighting the role of academic engagement factors such as motivation, self-efficacy, and univ…
Family Social Capital and Role Redefinitions in Italian Stepfamilies From the Perspective of Young Adult Children
In the past decade, Italy has experienced a surge in separations and divorces, resulting in an increase in second marriages and stepfamilies. However, little attention has been paid to family dynamics in the ‘divorcescapes’ from the perspective of children in the Italian context. This study explores the social capital of stepfamilies, considering their configurations, reciprocity and trust between the different stepfamily members, while analysing…
Who Are the Freshmen at Highest Risk of Dropping Out of University? Psychological and Educational Implications

Dropping out of university has significant consequences, not only for the student but also for the university and for society as a whole. A total of 1.154 Italian freshmen were involved in this study and were divided based on their intention to dropout from university. The intention to dropout was assessed using five questions, and motivation …
Direct reciprocity and reputation shape trust decisions similarly in blind and sighted individuals
This study addresses the effects of blindness on trust. Using an auditory version of the multi-round Trust Game, we investigated the effect of reputation and reciprocity on trust decisions in early blind and sighted participants. During each round of the game, participants were endowed with a sum of money and had to decide how much they wanted to invest in their partners, who were manipulated as a function of their good or bad reputation and indi…
Targeted placement for people with disabilities in Italy
Purpose The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) recognizes the right of disabled people to access work. Against this legislative backdrop, this study explores the strengths and weaknesses of the Italian system of targeted placement for disabled people, based on Law 68/1999, which delegates to regional authorities the management of the labor market. The examination centers on the perspective of companies, th…

Validation of the Italian Version of the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale Among Psychiatric Patients
The role of psychological distress, stigma and coping strategies on help-seeking intentions in a sample of Italian college students
This study suggests the importance of implementing programs to encourage college students to seek help, including measures that foster a stigma-free environment, reduce psychological distress and promote the use of adaptive coping strategies. Interventions should be focused firstly on self-stigma and secondly on perceived stigma, taking into consideration the level of psychological distress and social stereotypes associated with mental disorders …
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Well-Being, Social Relationships and Academic Performance in a Sample of University Freshmen
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted freshmen, compromising their mental health, lifestyles, and academic performance. There are few studies that have investigated changes in the health status and lifestyles of freshmen before and after the pandemic. The aims of this study were: (1) to carry out a pre-post-COVID-19 pandemic comparison between two freshmen samples, in order to detect differences in their socio-demographic characteristics and in some…
Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Italy
Background: The hesitancy in taking the COVID-19 vaccine is a global challenge. The need to identify predictors of COVID-19 vaccine reluctance is critical. Our objectives were to evaluate sociodemographic, psychological, and behavioral factors, as well as attitudes and beliefs that influence COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy in the general population of Italy. Methods: A total of 2,015 people were assessed in two waves (March, April and May, 2021). …
Il giuramento del juju nel sex trafficking e meccanismi di affrancamento
Il presente contributo intende esplorare gli elementi che entrano in gioco durante il processo di affrancamento dal rito del juju nelle donne di origine africana sub-sahariana, trafficate con scopi sessuali. Diversi sono i contributi che in letteratura mettono in evidenza il potere di assoggettamento riconosciuto alla ritualità del ju-ju, ma pochi sono gli studi che si sono occupati di comprendere i meccanismi che qualificano il processo di affra…
Psychometric validation and cultural adaptation of the Italian medical student stressor questionnaire
Medical students encounter specific stressors that can lead to higher levels of psychological distress compared to their similar aged counterparts who study other subjects. The Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ) was developed to specifically identify stressors among medical students as well as measure the intensity of stress caused by the stressors. However, no Italian version has been validated to date. The aim of this study was to de…
Constructing the We”
ABTSRACTRelational reflexivity (RR) is an increasingly important aspect in order to understand the agency of individuals and the couple’s life, particularly in postmodern society. This mixed-methods research aimed to observe different dimensions of RR in 32 couples (25–40 years), married or cohabiting with at least one child, during the process of building the “we.” Quantitative instruments (Perspective Taking Scale, Couple Generativity Scale, Qu…

The Rhetoric of Violence and Sacrifice in Fascist Italy
In this book, Chiara Ferrari interrogates how the rhetoric of sacrifice was used by the Italian fascist regime throughout the interwar years to support its totalitarian project and its vision of an all-encompassing bond between the people and the state.
Transgressive Rhetoric and Reactionary Politics
This article describes the ways in which the transgressive rhetoric of futurism has underpinned the rhetoric of Italian fascism, not only in its early years, as has been more frequently analyzed, but also during the later regime phase (1932–1940). The continued influence of futurism beyond the early “revolutionary” years of fascism has not received equal attention, largely because this period has been identified with reactionary politics and henc…
Since When Is Fran Drescher Jewish
"Since when is Fran Drescher Jewish?" This was Chiara Francesca Ferrari's reaction when she learned that Drescher's character on the television sitcom The Nanny was meant to be a portrayal of a stereotypical Jewish-American princess. Ferrari had only seen the Italian version of the show, in which the protagonist was dubbed into an exotic, eccentric Italian-American nanny. Since When Is Fran Drescher Jewish? explores this "ventriloquism" as not on…
De-facing Rousseau
De-facing Rousseau:The Itinerant vergogna in Alfieri's Vita Chiara Ferrari In his opinions and feelings toward Jean Jacques Rousseau, Vittorio Alfieri showed a deep ambivalence. Some elements are well known, such as Alfieri's refusal to meet him during one of his visits to Paris, or his reading of Rousseau's Confessions and other works. In the Vita (1790-1803), Alfieri writes that he had for Rousseau, "infinita stima [. . .] più assai per il suo …
