Evidenzia come una nuova paideia di successo possa dipendere dall’integrazione delle fasce piu deboli della popolazione; dalla tutela dei diritti umani e dalla programmazione di percorsi compensativi. Propone una lettura di quei processi che interessano soggetti che non hanno sviluppato le loro capacita cognitive e intellettuali, che hanno sperimentato l’insuccesso scolastico, l’emarginazione e una caduta significativa della loro autostima. L’articolo mette in relazione il disagio educativo con le condizioni socio-culturali della famiglia; l’irregolarita della carriera scolastica; le carenze delle infrastrutture; l’appartenenza a gruppi di minoranze etniche e la mancanza di conoscenza, in toto o in parte, della lingua del paese di approdo. Parole chiave : cura socio-educativa, narrazione, migrazione, adolescenza Paths of so...

Ademas analizamos si el sesgo optimista varia en funcion de la relacion afectiva de los sujetos con el grupo de referencia. Participaron 269 estudiantes universitarios que contestaron a un cuestionario en dos partes: una primera donde se valoraba la probabilidad de sufrir un riesgo y una segunda sobre conductas relacionadas para identificar sujetos con alta exposicion a los riesgos. Para ello, se utilizo una lista de 12 riesgos con distintos niveles de gravedad y control por parte de los sujetos. Se realizo un ANOVA con tres variables independientes (una intergrupo – grupo de referencia- y dos intragrupo – gravedad y control) y una dependiente: valoracion de probabilidad de sufrir los riesgos presentados. Se confirma la hipotesis respecto a las modificaciones de la valoracion de probabilidad en funcion de los niveles de gravedad y control. Asimismo,...

These are episodic attacks on the symbols of European culture. Of them, the image that reaches the general public is what the media communicate to them. This article takes into account the online articles produced by four Italian newspapers, two right and two left, on three attacks: the 13 November 2015 in Paris, 22 March 2016 in Brussels and 14 July 2016 in Nice. The goal is to capture the representation of these events conveyed by the press to its readers. The use of linguistic statistical analysis is used to extract these media lexicons relating to terrorist attacks.

La revision teorica se centra en la clarificacion de los conceptos peligro, riesgo y amenazas; En segundo lugar se analizan los distintos enfoques desde las ciencias sociales que se han ocupado de estudiar este tema; Finalmente analizamos los procedimientos metodologicos, formales y no formales, empleados en las investigaciones sobre percepcion y evaluacion del riesgo. Concluimos en la necesidad de adoptar un modelo multidimensional, ya que la percepcion del riesgo esta modulada no solo por caracteristicas especificas de los riesgos, sino por factores culturales e individuales. Con esta perspectiva se hicieron 4 investigaciones. La primera profundizaba en la evaluacion de riesgos tecnologicos; La segundas en riesgos naturales; La tercera, en el papel de las creencias sobre el medio ambiente y el apoyo a las normas sociales sobre la evaluacion del riesgos; La cuarta analizaba la influencia del sesgo optimista en la valoracion de probabilidad de sufrir riesgos en comparacion con otros grupos referentes. Los resultados fundamentales indican que: La percepcion del riesgo, tanto tecnologicos como naturales viene explicada por las dimensiones control de la exposicion y gravedad de las consecuencias; La percepcion del riesgo difiere en funcion del ambito de exposicion a las amenazas sea este social, individual o medioambiental; Las creencias sobre la relacion del hombre con el medio ambiente y el apoyo a las normas sociales no resultaron ser buenos predictores de las diferencias de percepcion entre distintos tipos de riesgos; Finalmente el efecto del sesgo optimista en la valoracion de probabilidad de sufrir un riesgo resulta modificada en funcion de las caracteristicas de los riesgos (grado de control y gravedad), de la distancia afectiva del sujeto con el grupo comparativo de referencia.

The aim of the present research is to investigate the role of self-esteem and relational skills on school performance in a group of middle and high school students during the COVID-19 period. The research involved 392 students, aged between 11 and 20 (M = 13.78; S.D. = 2.56). Participants completed the following instruments: an anamnestic constructed ad hoc questionnaire; the Interpersonal Relationships Test, in order to evaluate the perception of adolescents concerning the quality of their relationships in social, family and school contexts; and the Multidimensional Test of Self-Esteem, structured in six scales, which coincide with the dimensions considered constitutive of self-esteem. The preliminary data have shown how the older girls, attending the high school, tend to manifest a higher level of social competence w...

The present research investigates: a) the influence of dysfunctional family dynamics on the Internet use; b) the impact that psychological and physical sensations - following excessive Internet use - can have on the quality of family relationships. The research involved 150 Italian students (65 males and 85 females) aged between 14 and 20 years (M =15.99, S.D = 1.94). The research lasted for 1 school year. Participants completed: an anamnestic questionnaire; the Family Assessment Device (FAD) in order to value the family functioning; and a self-report constructed ad hoc questionnaire, named “Adolescents and Digital Technologies” to measure frequency of use of social networks and Internet, the motivation for the use of social networks, the physical and psychological sensation perceived following their use. Data show the influence of ge...

The implementation of measurement tools that can capture the different organizational dimensions that determine stress in workers is part of the stress management and troubleshooting strategy that every company must manage daily. The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate the 25-item version of the ILO-WHO stress scale by Ivancevich and Matteson in the context of the Canary Islands of Spain. The tool assesses specific organizational dimensions of work-related stress determinants: organizational climate and structure, leader influence, cohesion, territory, technology and group support. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on a sample of 1510 Canary Islands workers was carried out. The results indicate that the job stress scale revealed adequate psychometric properties, construct validity and internal consistency (Cronbach...
