Eye-tracking in school-age specific learning disorders
Eye-tracking (ET) provides fine-grained, real-time indicators of how school-age students allocate visual attention during learning, yet its translation into school-based assessment and intervention for Specific Learning Disorder (SLD; DSM-5: dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia) remains limited and unsystematic. This practice-oriented narrative review synthesizes peer-reviewed empirical studies and pilot technology/intervention papers published betw…
Sleep quality, physical activity, and perceived academic performance of Italian adolescents
Background Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent during adolescence and may negatively affect health and academic functioning. During the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in daily routines and lifestyle behaviors may have further impacted sleep patterns and physical activity levels in this population. Although associations between physical activity, sleep, and academic performance have been previously explored, evidence remains limited in specific so…
Temporal perspectives, sensation-seeking, and cognitive distortions as predictors of adolescent gambling behavior
Temporal orientation plays a distinct role in adolescent gambling behavior beyond traditional dispositional and cognitive factors. Interventions should incorporate time-awareness strategies, helping adolescents shift toward future-oriented thinking while addressing sensation-seeking tendencies through targeted risk management and engagement in alternative rewarding activities
Psychosocial profiles and motivations for adolescent engagement in hazardous games
The findings highlight the importance of tailored interventions for adolescents, focusing on boredom management, peer resilience, and mental health support. Addressing these psychosocial drivers can help reduce the risks associated with hazardous games and support healthier developmental pathways. Future research should explore longitudinal data to track changes in adolescent risk behaviors over time and assess the impact of targeted intervention…
Emotional and cognitive responses to romantic breakups in adolescents and young adults
The findings underscore the importance of addressing rumination and avoidance coping in interventions aimed at supporting young adults post-breakup. Encouraging adaptive coping strategies, such as Positive Attitude and Problem Solving, could enhance resilience and mitigate the negative effects of relationship dissolution. This study contributes to a better understanding of coping processes in a culturally specific context, highlighting potential …

Adolescent health literacy is critical for navigating the complex landscape of modern healthcare and making informed decisions that influence long-term health outcomes. This comprehensive review synthesizes current research on integrating digital tools and interactive learning approaches to enhance health literacy among adolescents. We explore the use of digital technologies, such as mobile apps and virtual reality, which cater to the preferences…
Effects of Cognitive Appraisals on Perceived Self-Efficacy and Distress during the Covid-19 Lockdown
During the COVID-19 lockdown, individuals and households had to responsibly manage the difficulties and problems caused by the restrictions on their mobility, such as the interruptions to work schedules, insecure food supplies, and the procurement of services and health care. The perceptions of risk as well as the fear of disease were strongly linked to worry, defined as a sequence of thoughts that evoke negative emotions and elevated levels of a…
Assessing Decentering Capacity in Athletes
Decentering has received more attention in sports literature as a self-regulating skill capable of significantly limiting episodes of mental block in competitive situations. This contribution depicts a comparative study conducted with 375 Italian national and international athletes. The objective was to evaluate athletes' decentralization skills across different sports and levels of competition and test a mediation model of decentering in sports …
Impulsivity and Depressive Brooding in Internet Addiction
This contribution presents a study conducted on a sample of Italian adolescents ( n = 411) in the period of the first COVID-19 lockdown. The study investigated the role and predictive weight of the impulsivity and depressive brooding variables on Internet addiction, using a hierarchical regression analysis. The participants were administered the Uso-Abuso e Dipendenza da Internet [Internet Use-Abuse and Addiction] (UADI-2), the Barratt Impulsiven…
Intention to Screen for Hepatitis C Among University Students
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different narrative scenarios regarding students' intentions to undergo diagnostic screening for hepatitis C, and whether gender identification with the characters of the scenario could influence the students' intentions to undergo a medical test. A sample of 600 participants was administered three narrative scenarios with different frames (positive, negative, and ambivalent), including two gender opt…
Internet addiction in young adults
Excessive Internet use has demonstrated comorbidity with other psychological symptoms and psychiatric disorders, as well as impairments in the management of daily life, relationships and emotional stability. Recent findings in the literature have consistently supported the relationship between impulsivity and Internet addiction. The present study hypothesized that, in addition to impulsivity, a further predictor of Internet addiction might be rel…
A Psychoeducational Intervention in Prenatal Classes
The study suggests improving the quality of prenatal classes by paying particular attention to the content and communication used within the group, in order to gratify at the highest level, the need for information, reassurance, and sharing that characterize the parturient's request for support. The evidence collected recommends further replicating the intervention protocol described in order to improve the psychophysical well-being of women in a…
Both Gender and Agonistic Experience Affect Perceived Pain during the Cold Pressor Test
The study confirmed a significant difference in pain perception associated with the athletes' gender and agonistic experience. Separate explanations related to the pattern of pain inhibition and the acquired reduction in pain sensitivity are reported
Motivations and Personal Traits Can Predict Self-Efficacy of the Clown Therapist
The individual and collective perception of self-efficacy in clown therapists is fundamental in order to be able to be active, restrained, energetic and defocused, if necessary, without being overwhelmed by any problems patients might have. The present study evaluated both the incidence of motivational and dispositional functions on the level of perceived self-efficacy with a sample of 259 Italian clown therapists who were administered The Volunt…
Validation study of the Italian version of Temporal Focus Scale
The temporal focus has proven to be a significant feature associated with various aspects of both well-being and personal discomfort. By virtue of its good psychometric properties, the TFS can be an integrative tool along with others for a better evaluation of the person's profile in different contexts such as education, coaching, psychotherapy, counseling and career guidance
Perception of Risk, Self-Efficacy and Social Trust during the Diffusion of Covid-19 in Italy
The Coronavirus pandemic has affected the lives of people all over the world. The perception of risk and people's consequent behaviour during a pandemic are very complex and are affected by multiple cultural and psychological factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the change in risk perception, perceived self-efficacy and the perceived trust in the behaviour of others, the decisions of health authorities and government provisions, as w…
Influence of Cognitive Orientation and Attentional Focus on Pain Perception
The abandonment of tests has been shown to be predicted mainly by catastrophic attitude. Attentive impulsiveness showed a further positive effect on catastrophic attitude. Perceived self-efficacy in the tolerance of pain limited learned helplessness, which in turn positively influenced catastrophizing
The Principal at Risk
Background: In recent years the role of school principals is becoming increasingly complex and responsible. Methods: This study was voluntarily attended by 419 Italian school principals who were administered the Psychological Stress Measurement (MSP), Mindfulness Organizing Scale (MOS), Polychronic-Monochronic Tendency Scale (PMTS), and the Scale of Emotions at Work (SEW). Results: The study has produced a path analysis model in which the relatio…
Psychometric Properties and Reliability of the Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (Refs) in Volleyball Referees
Although English was not the mother tongue for most of the subjects in the sample, the scale was statistically reliable, and the items were easy to understand, thus making the tool very suitable to use for further studies on multilingual referees. The study also suggests enhancing the level of education of the officials because of its significant effect on the perceived self-efficacy during refereeing
