Replication studies in psychological science sometimes fail to reproduce prior findings. If these use methods that are unfaithful the original study or ineffective eliciting phenomenon of interest, then a failure replicate may be protocol rather than challenge finding. Formal pre-data-collection peer review by experts address shortcomings and increase replicability rates. We selected 10 replication from Reproducibility Project: Psychology (RP:P; Open Science Collaboration, 2015) for which...
Background and Objectives. Suicide represents a primary global health concern, particularly among young individuals aged 15 to 29. Clinicians are actively engaged in efforts prevent suicide implement timely interventions. This study aimed evaluate the effectiveness of self-reported measures differentiating between adolescents exhibiting suicidal ideation (SI) only those at risk or with previous history attempts (SA). Methods. Seventy-eight adolescent patients (mean age: 15.53 ± 1.49) were...
Very preterm infants are exposed to adverse stressful experiences, which may result in long-term behavioural outcomes. The developmental care practices, including pain management and environmental support, can minimize the effects of stress exposure. However, quality levels vary among Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) little is known about how differences affect aim this study was examine relation between NICUs behaviour problems at 18 months corrected age children.The 134 children from...
Although previous studies have shown that rejection sensitivity (RS) is related to aggressive, prosocial, and withdrawal behaviors, little known on the underlying mechanisms. This contribution aims fill this gap by showing usefulness of differentiating between cognitive (expectation) emotional (anxiety, anger) components RS testing potential mediating role emotion regulation (ER) strategies for predicting tendencies. Results from data collected in a sample young adults (N = 445) showed...
A previous study showed that about 80% of Italian adolescents reported isolated symptoms acute or post-traumatic stress during the first lockdown in Italy. We proposed a new questionnaire to investigate presence related anxiety, panic, depression, eating disorders, sleep social withdrawal, psychotic symptoms, anti-conservative thoughts, and self-harming acts aggravated by COVID-19 restrictions possible differences between males females. 500 (12-18 years) completed an online survey created...
In this article, we focus on rejection sensitivity (RS) in adolescents. Although the RS model distinguishes clearly between emotional (i.e., anger and anxiety) cognitive expectation of rejection) components, research has rarely examined their unique connection with psychological problems. We argue that considering three components separately would provide additional insights regarding relationship aimed to test goodness fit a three-factor solution investigate validity predicting self-...
Once psychosis has set in, it is difficult for patients to achieve full recovery. Prevention of and early intervention are promising improving the outcomes this disorder. In last two decades, neurocognition been studied as a biomarker clinical-high risk (CHR-P). However, neurocognitive functioning under-investigated in adolescents.We enrolled 116 adolescents from 12 17 years old (mean = 15.27, SD 1.56; 76 females). This 3-year cohort study aimed identify differences overall three groups...

Evaluative conditioning is an effect consisting of a change in the valence neutral stimulus (Conditioned Stimulus, CS) that results from pairing it with valenced (Unconditioned US). The present contribution examined whether and how this moderated by Neuroticism, personality trait articulated facets characterized high focus on valence. For purpose, 242 participants completed EC procedure comprehensive survey to assess Neuroticism. Multilevel analyses indicated negative positive USs be...
Maternal sensitivity has been considered an indicator of mother‐infant quality interaction, however little is known about the perception processes associated to this parental behavior style. Here we aimed explore relationship between maternal during a face‐to‐face interaction with their infants and ability in perceiving infants' body face. Thirty‐six 6 month‐old mothers were videotaped identify those high low sensitivity. Then, tested using inversion effect paradigm requiring visual...
Abstract Objective Assuming personality to be a system of intra‐individual processes emerging over time in interaction with the environment, we propose an idiographic approach investigate potential changes dynamics perception situations and emotions individuals varying traits. We compared semiparametric time‐varying autoregressive model (TV‐AR) that takes into account non‐stationarity psychological at individual level, standard AR model. Method conducted analyses series assess mean levels...
To rule out an alternative to their structural-fit hypothesis, Payne, Burkley, and Stokes (2008) demonstrated that correlations between implicit explicit race attitudes were weaker when participants put under high pressure respond without bias than they placed low pressure. This effect was replicated in Italy by Vianello (2015), although the replication smaller original effect. In current investigation, we examined possibility source of a study’s sample moderates this Teams from eight...
There is a growing interest in delivering videoconferencing psychotherapy (VCP) due to the enormous impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our lives since beginning severe restrictions worldwide March 2020. Scientific literature has provided interesting results about transition remote sessions and its implications, considering different orientations. Less known whether how VCP affects psychodynamic psychotherapeutic approaches reports work with complex mental health problems such as personality...
Suicide is a global cause of death, chronic disability, and significant public health problem. Recent works emphasize the importance differentiating people with suicide ideation (SI) suicidal attempts (SA), so we conducted clinical cross-sectional study to better characterize features most associated SA. We enrolled 88 adolescents (77 females) from 12 18 years age (M = 15.21, SD 1.63) admitted Northern Italian Child Neurology Psychiatry Service who presented SI and/or an assessment using...
Impulsivity is a multifaceted construct particularly relevant for understanding wide variety of behaviors, especially risky behaviors. A recent conceptualization impulsivity identifies three factors—pervasive influence feelings, feelings trigger action, and lack follow-through—that have been shown to predict different In this contribution, we examine the psychometric properties an Italian version such three-factor model on relatively large sample (N = 845). Moreover, subsample (n 766)...
