Conseguenze socio-politiche del Covid-19

Vivere sotto minaccia può avere molteplici conseguenze. Quando la nostra sicurezza o quella della nostra società è in pericolo, la nostra percezione di controllo e il bisogno che abbiamo di vivere in un ambiente sicuro e prevedibile sono compromessi. Gli effetti delle minacce non riguardano solo la nostra percezione di sicurezza ma si estendono ad altri ambiti, come la sfera politica e sociale. La pandemia di Covid-19 ha rappresentato una minaccia dalla natura complessa e sfaccettata ed ha prodotto cambiamenti in una varietà di atteggiamenti politici e sociali.

Il nostro lavoro, basato su dati longitudinali, ha l’obiettivo di individuare i processi socio-psicologici attraverso cui le persone hanno cambiato i loro comportamenti e atteggiamenti socio-politici durante la pandemia. Il nostro focus è soprattutto sulla fiducia istituzionale e gli atteggiamenti anti-democratici (si veda qui https://www.dippsicologia.unito.it/do/progetti.pl/Show?_id=9fxo per ulteriori informazioni).

Human agency e lo sviluppo politico degli adolescenti

Lo studio dello sviluppo politico degli adolescenti si è spesso basato su una prospettiva che concepiva i giovani come oggetto di socializzazione da parte di famiglia, scuola e amici. Le più recenti linee di ricerca enfatizzano invece il ruolo attivo dei giovani nel determinare il loro stesso sviluppo politico. Il nostro lavoro ha come obiettivo quello di testare modelli dello sviluppo politico che attribuiscano un ruolo centrale alla human agency. Il nostro focus è soprattutto sul ruolo dell’interesse politico.

Antecedenti collettivi delle relazioni interpersonali

Quando le persone percepiscono le istituzioni poco affidabili (o corrotte), anche la qualità delle loro relazioni sociali e, di conseguenza, il loro benessere risultano inficiate. Noi ci occupiamo di analizzare i processi cognitivi che entrano in gioco nel regolare le relazioni sociali a livello interpersonale e gruppale (intragruppi e intergruppi) con riferimento specifico al bisogno di sicurezza, norme e valori di gruppo.

Le origini e le conseguenze del populismo

Il populismo è un protagonista del panorama politico di molti paesi in tutto il mondo. Coerentemente con questo, lo Zeitgeist populista contemporaneo ha influenzato in misura assai radicale la politica e la società in molti modi portando, fra le altre cose, all’aumento della polarizzazione fra i partiti politici, a un peggioramento della valutazione che l’opinione pubblica sviluppa dei governi non populisti e perfino, ragionando a lungo termine, a ostacolare la crescita economica. L’obiettivo dei nostri studi è individuare I principali predittori psicosociali del populismo e le principali conseguenze individuali e sociali dell’orientamento e dei comportamenti populisti.

Socio-political consequences of Covid-19  

Living under threat has consequences. When people feel their personal safety or that of their society is in danger, their perception of control and their satisfaction with the need to live in a predictable and secure environment are undermined. The effects of threats do not end with the individual’s feeling of uncertainty, but spill over into other domains, such as social and political spheres, where they can have further consequences. The COVID-19 pandemic had multifaceted and complex nature and it has generated changes in a variety of socio-political attitudes.

Our work, based on longitudinal data, aims at detailing the social-psychological processes whereby people confronted with COVID-19 come to change their socio-political attitudes and behaviours. We mainly focus on institutional trust and anti-democratic attitudes (see https://www.dippsicologia.unito.it/do/progetti.pl/Show?_id=9fxo for additional information).

Human agency and adolescents' political development

The study of youths’ political development has often conceptualized youths as passive objects of socializing institutions, such as family, schools, and peers. Recent research conceived young people as active agents in their own socialization. Our work aims to test models of political development that recognize the agentic nature of youths. We focus primarily on the role of youths’ political interest.

Societal antecedents of interpersonal relations

When people perceive societal institutions to be of low quality, it also deteriorates the quality of their social relationships and therefore also their psychological wellbeing. Our project aims to illuminate how institutions may regulate citizens’ social relationships at the interpersonal, within-group, and between-group levels in at least two ways by providing a sense of security and models for group norms and values.

Origins and consequences of populism

Populism is a protagonist in the political landscape of many countries around the world. Consistent with this, the present populist Zeitgeist has dramatically affected politics and society in different ways—leading, among other things, to an increased polarisation across political parties, a diminishing of the perceived quality of non-populist governments and even to a potential hindering of economic growth over the long term. Our research aims to detect the main social-psychological predictors and the main individual and societal consequences of populist orientations and behaviours.
