Objectives: There is a lack of tools for non-parental caregivers and in the French language to assess the quality of the attachment relationship with toddlers. The Toddler Attention Questionnaire (TAQ) is an Italian scale created for caregivers in day care centers. By its focus on the exploration system, the TAQ offers the opportunity to study the relation between attention characteristics and attachment behavior in toddlers. In the attachment theory, a link is often assumed between these two concepts.

L'articolo si propone di presentare un quadro di insieme dei contributi teorici ed empirici più significativi sul lavoro emotivo, sia rispetto all'ambito già consolidato delle professioni di servizio, sia descrivendo i potenziali sviluppi del concetto all'interno dei gruppi di lavoro. Particolare attenzione viene data alle strategie di regolazione emotiva e ai loro effetti. In conclusione, vengono presentati alcuni possibili interventi di gestione delle risorse umane orientati a potenziare gli effetti positivi delle emozioni e a ridurne quelli negativi.

Sexting has been commonly defined as the sharing of sexually suggestive content via new technologies. The relationship between sexting motivations and both online and offline aggressive behaviors (i.e., sexual harassment, dating violence, and bullying) is still understudied. This study aimed to investigate the association between three sexting motivations—sexual purposes, instrumental/aggravated reasons, and body image reinforcement—and teen dating violence.

Both scholars and practitioners acknowledge that the major factors explaining behavior are cognition, emotion, and context. However, existing theories tend to only focus on a combination of two. Furthermore, not all models are rooted in a specific theory of mind. Finally, there is no consistent definition of ‘mind.’ To address these issues, we review the major models explaining behavior.

We axiomatize, in the multidimensional case, a social evaluation function that can accommodate a natural Pigou–Dalton principle and correlation increasing majorization. This is performed by building upon a simple class of inframodular functions proposed by Müller and Scarsini under risk.
