Samuel D'Emanuele; Francesca Nardello; Fabrizio Garau; Diego Campaci; Federico Schena; Cantor Tarperi – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
The agreement between a wearable inertial sensor (GYKO, G) and the force platform (P) was assessed by evaluating "test-retest" and "inter-rater reliability." Thirty-eight subjects were enrolled; the selected indices of balance were investigated over foot positions and (un)stable conditions. Intraclass correlation coefficient…

Sità, Chiara; Mortari, Luigina – Global Studies of Childhood, 2023
In Italy, family fostering is in most cases a voluntary service where foster parents are non-professional helpers. About half of the foster parents are couples with children of their own, which makes fostering a "family enterprise." Within growing attention to children's voices in research, the paper focuses on children living foster…

Understanding the variables that promote pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) can be useful for sustainable development. Research has shown that several factors, including emotions, can influence PEBs. Eco-empathy and helplessness beliefs toward the environment (HBTE) can facilitate or discourage PEBs. To understand the role of these factors, it may…

W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults. However, theories on altruism born of suffering or adversarial growth suggest that we might also see prosocial behavior as a function of the pandemic, which may protect against mental health challenges. Because cultural values are central in…

Holford, John, Ed.; Boyadjieva, Pepka, Ed.; Clancy, Sharon, Ed.; Hefler, Günter, Ed.; Studená, Ivana, Ed. – Palgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning, 2023
This open access book challenges international policy 'groupthink' about lifelong learning. Adult learning -- too long a servant of business competitiveness -- should be reimagined as central to democratic society. Young adults, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds, engage more in education and training, and learn more day-to-day at work, if…

Cornoldi, Cesare; Rivella, Carlotta; Montesano, Lorena; Toffalini, Enrico – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Letters and numbers are different domains, and their differentiation increases with schooling. It has nonetheless been argued that reading alphabetic and numerical materials partly involves the same processes, even in adults. Whether individuals with dyslexia have difficulty reading and writing numbers remains to be established. This study…

Enrico Ripamonti – Oxford Review of Education, 2024
We conducted a study on a local scale targeting the relationship of economic capital, cultural capital, young people's literacy, numeracy achievements, and the school-to-work transition. We investigated whether participation rates by very young children in early childhood education (ECE) may mediate the historical effects of economic and cultural…
