Il saggio si interroga e offre alcuni spunti per riflettere sulle modalità in cui alcune idee sorgono, si diffondono e si consolidano entro una collettività di persone, con esiti utili a alimentare ...il senso di coesione sociale. In parallelo, discute i motivi per i quali in certi casi una rappresentazione viene contestata, discussa e genera conflitti e controversie, alimentando senso di incertezza e frammentazione sociale.
Objective: The interpersonal theory of suicide posits the simultaneous presence of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness (i.e., thwarted interpersonal needs) leads to active suicide ...ideation. According to the psychological flexibility model, psychological inflexibility is in part a product of cognitive fusion (i.e., becoming entangled or wrapped up in one's thoughts) and experiential avoidance (i.e., avoidance of internal private experiences, which include thoughts and feelings). We hypothesized that thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, in parallel, would mediate the positive relation between experiential avoidance and suicide ideation and between cognitive fusion and suicide ideation. Method: Participants were 118 adult psychiatric inpatients who completed self-report assessments of thwarted interpersonal needs, cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, and suicide ideation. Results: Using bootstrapped parallel mediation regression procedures, results indicated thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness mediated, in parallel, the positive relation between experiential avoidance and suicide ideation and between cognitive fusion and suicide ideation. Additionally, thwarted belongingness, but not perceived burdensomeness, independently mediated the relation between cognitive fusion and suicide ideation. Conclusion: The current findings indicate that psychological inflexibility variables are associated with increased thwarted interpersonal needs and suicide ideation. The findings of this study provide support for the integration of the interpersonal theory of suicide and psychological flexibility model to improve our conceptualization of suicide risk among psychiatric inpatients.
Clinical or methodological significance summary: The findings of this study provide support for the integration of the interpersonal theory of suicide and psychological flexibility model to improve our conceptualization of suicide risk among psychiatric inpatients.
Il presente contributo indaga il ruolo delle reti sociali amicali, familiari e lavorative degli immigrati sul sentimento di appartenenza all’Italia. L’analisi si basa sull’indagine 2013 effettuata in ...Lombardia dall’Osservatorio Regionale per l’Integrazione e la Multietnicità della regione Lombardia (Orim) su un campione di 4.000 stranieri o immigrati provenienti da paesi a forte pressione migratoria. I risultati mostrano con evidenza il ruolo cruciale delle reti sociali, in particolare quello della componente bridging, nel creare senso di appartenenza tra gli stranieri che vivono in Lombardia. Gli stranieri che provano il maggior senso di appartenenza all’Italia sono persone che hanno nella propria rete amicale una buona presenza di italiani se non addirittura una prevalenza di questi rispetto agli stranieri e che dichiarano di condividere appieno le norme sociali e i valori che caratterizzano la società italiana e ne regolano la vita quotidiana. The present study assess the role of networks of friends, family members and work colleagues in shaping the migrants’ sense of belonging to Italy. For this study we use data from the 2013 survey carried out by the Regional Observatory for Integration and Multietnicity of Lombardy (Orim) on a sample of 4.000 interviewees with a foreign background. Results show the crucial role of social networks, and particularly of bridging networks in shaping migrants’ sense of belonging. Migrants with a stronger sense of belonging to Italy have a substantial presence of Italian friends in their networks and fully approve social norms typical of the country of immigration.
School is both time and space of experience and citizenship. Students as individuals, create and recreate meaning on how to be in school and society, different affiliations that sustain their ...identity and the various spheres of participation. When defining citizenship we noted three dimensions: the person, the social ties and participation. Based on school climate – which we assume is what actors mostly represent and feel of their organization – this study takes four dimensions into account: relationships with various school stakeholders, equity, safety and working conditions. The sample included 3617 students from 5th to 12th grade education originating from 13 schools. The data instrument is a questionnaire on school climate, experiencing school aspects and the value attributed to being a citizen. School climate is globally positive, except for the working conditions dimension. The added value of the citizenship dimension varies according to different dimensions. School climate, experiencing school and the citizenship value have highly statistically significant relationships among all dimensions. The most favorable school climate appears consistently linked to the feeling of belonging, to teachers’ democratic leadership and to the valorization of citizenship dimensions. These results suggest that school climate and its relation to the meaning that students give to citizenship come from the relevance of the care of relationships between the different school actors.
This Routledge Focus aims to investigate and analyse the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Communities (EC) and the European Union (EU). Since joining the EC in 1973, the UK has had a ...fraught relationship with the organization, declining closer economic union in the eurozone and, often, arguing against closer political union. While some 67% of the UK’s voters opted to remain in the EC in a referendum held in 1975, by June 2016 a narrow majority favoured leaving the EU. This volume evaluates the UK’s journey into the Union, and examines how the country’s voters came to decide on Brexit, and where the UK’s departure from the EU may lead it.

Francese Eiximenis è considerato qui come esponente di un'elite francescana del Mediterraneo occidentale che contribuisce alla formazione dell'identità politica ed economica della comunità ...catalano-aragonese. Si analizza la funzione di lessemi-chiave: caritat, fealtat, profit comú all'interno del discorso politico eiximeniano e il ruolo che essi assumono nella definizione di una organizzazione comunitaria esclusivamente cristiana connotata da una stretta interdipendenza tra res publica e mercato, cioè tra i paradigmi di validazione dell'istituzione politica e quelli che legittimano e rendono credibile lo spazio degli scambi e del commercio. Le idee ed i progetti del Gerundense sono inoltre verificati nel concreto contesto istituzionale in cui egli opera: il regno di Valencia e quello di Sicilia all'indomani della conquista del 1392.
