Attività

  • L'attaccamento nell'età adulta

Descritta fin dalle origini come il tentativo di rifondare le teorie sullo sviluppo psicologico alla luce della biologia moderna, la teoria dell'attaccamento ha dimostrato di poter essere considerata a tutti gli effetti una teoria prototipica della più recente indagine scientifica nell'ambito delle neuroscienze della mente. È quest'ultimo un dominio di ricerca caratterizzato dall'attenzione interdisciplinare ai diversi livelli di analisi - psicologico, neurofisiologico, neuroendocrino, genetico e sociale - che contribuiscono alla comprensione di fenomeni complessi di ambito clinico. In questa linea di ricerca indaghiamo il ruolo del sistema di attaccamento nel funzionamento tipico e atipico e come tale sistema sia influenzato dalla qualità delle effettive relazioni interpersonali esperite.

  • Cognizione sociale e affettività in popolazioni cliniche e non cliniche

La nostra è una specie sociale. Gli esseri umani sono costantemente coinvolti in interazioni complesse di varia natura: comunicano per scambiarsi informazioni, acquisiscono nuove competenze osservando e imitando gli altri, sviluppano legami affettivi. Un'idea emergente nell'ambito delle scienze psicologiche è che per gestire in modo adeguato questa complessità gli esseri umani hanno evoluto sistemi neurocognitivi specificamente deputati. Grazie a questi sistemi è possibile andare oltre la superficie costituita dai comportamenti altrui e risalire agli stati mentali che li determinano. In questa linea di ricerca indaghiamo i processi mentali e i meccanismi neurocognitivi che rendono possibile l'attiva, e spesso efficace, regolazione della nostra interazione con le menti altrui.

Attachment in adulthood

Attachment theory, which has been described from the beginning as an attempt to refound theories of psychological development in the light of modern biology, has proved in every respect to be a prototypical theory for recent scientific research in the field of neuroscience of mind. The latter is an area of research characterized by interdisciplinary attention to the various levels of analysis-psychological, neurophysiological, neuroendocrine, genetic, and social-that contribute to the understanding of complex clinical phenomena. In this research area, we study the role of the attachment system in typical and atypical functioning and how this system is influenced by the quality of the actual interpersonal relationships experienced.

Social cognition and affectivity in clinical and non-clinical populations

We are very social. Humans are constantly involved in complex interactions of various kinds: communicating to exchange information, acquiring new skills by observing and imitating others, and developing emotional bonds. In psychological sciences, the idea is gaining ground that humans have evolved special neurocognitive systems to deal adequately with this complexity. Thank you to these systems, it is possible to go beyond the surface formed by the behavior of others and return to the mental states that determine them. In this line of research, we study the mental processes and the neurocognitive mechanisms that allow active regulation of our interaction with others.
