Validità, Affidabilità e Correlati Neurofisiologici del Test di Rorschach

La letteratura inerente la solidità psicometrica del test di Rorschach è ricca di controversie.  Ciononostante il test di Roschach è uno tra gli strumenti più utilizzati da clinici e ricercatori interessati alla valutazione della personalità. Il nostro gruppo di ricerca contribuisce attivamente alla letteratura sull’argomento, studiando la validità, l’affidabilità e i correlati neurofisioligici del test.

Misura e Identificazione del Malingering

In ambito giuridico, quando una persona simula una psicopatologia allo scopo di ottenere qualche beneficio (ad es., economico) mette in difficoltà psicologi e avvocati, a discapito dell’interesse generale della comunità. Il nostro gruppo di ricerca lavora all’identificazione, validazione e messa a punto di strumenti per la misura e l’identificazione di questo tipo di comportamenti (i.e., malingering).

Adattamento e Validazione di Strumenti di Assessment Psicologico

Nell’ambito dell’assessment di personalità, culture diverse tendono ad utilizzare strumenti simili.  Il nostro gruppo di ricerca si occupa dell’adattamento culturale e validazione per il contesto italiano di importanti strumenti clinici, quali il Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) o il Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), e di ricerca, quali il Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), o il Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ).
