Full textThis research is in line with the World Health Organization's recommendation to consider health as a complex bio-psycho-social functioning of the individual, which can be described both through an individual's specific activities and the degree of his/her participation in daily experiences. From these premises, the scientific community has recently elaborated the multi-componential construct of Communicative Participation, which refers to an individual's ability to take part in everyday life situations, specifically with communicative-linguistic skills. Previous research mainly investigated this construct in children with heterogeneous communicative-linguistic disorders. Because of the lack of existing evidence, it is still relevant to further investigate it, on the one hand, in children with atypical language development, to examine whether linguistic difficulties are associated with impaired Communicative Participation and, on the other hand, also in children with typical language development, to interpret any differences between the two populations. This manuscript includes a review of the scientific literature and three empirical studies. The first study investigates Communicative Participation and its underlying components in typical language development; it investigates this competence's developmental trajectory and verifies the influence of specific individual factors, such as gender and quality of speech, on it. Since the quality of speech plays a role in the degree of Communicative Participation in preschool age, the second study examines whether children with speech/language disorders differ from peers in this capacity, and it explores the role of articulatory skill. Results show that children with speech/language disorder are significantly different from peers in Communicative Participation. Thus, the third study investigates associations between Communicative Participation, linguistic skills, social-emotional-behavioural skills, and temperament in typical and atypical language development. Overall, the research work shows that Communicative Participation improves with age in the preschool, it seems to be slightly influenced by gender, and it is, in any case, associated with the quality of the child's speech. Speech is also relevant because children with atypical language development have significant limitations in Communicative Participation and its underlying components. Moreover, Communicative Participation is not directly related to social-emotional-behavioural skills. However, uniquely in children with atypical language development, there is an association between language use difficulties and internalizing behavioural problems. Instead, some functional components of Communicative Participation are positively associated with some temperamental dimensions, such as extraversion, sociability, and positive emotions. These traits are positively associated with the child's functional use of expressive language; on the contrary, there is a negative association between behavioural inhibition and Communicative Participation. In conclusion, the paper highlights the possible clinical implications of the results and emphasizes that it is relevant to apply the new construct of Communicative Participation in clinical practice and use valid tools to measure it. This innovation can support many needs connected to the clinical practice with children with speech/language disorders, such as deepening the first functional assessment, choosing an intervention, and selecting outcome measures.

Full textThe research is part of a set of international and national studies, that intended to analyze, in a segmented or integral way, the components of the text’s comprehension from the age of preschool. The work is structured in two parts: theoretical-epistemological and empirical. The first tends to delineate the theoretical framework that has for object the reading comprehension, outlining the complexity of a process, which makes use of a multiplicity of components, to canalize the theme in the age group of interest. The second part analyses the project that originates from the need to describe the interactive and communicative processes in groups of children attending the preschool, involved in a reading comprehension task through the functional use of a IWB. The goal is to experiment, by using specific methodologies and teaching strategies, whether and how it is possible to stimulate and facilitate the development of inferential skills through the active involvement of the student. In this comprehension process the teacher’s role is of primary importance; in fact he rules the interaction among peers in the reading task, the participation methods and the involved children’s actions. The results strengthen our project to foster verbal text comprehension by using pictures and audiovisual texts through the functional use of a IWB. [edited by Author]

Full textThe present work focuses on social relationships, in particular the ones the child establishes with his peers, known to be fundamental for the development of cognitive, emotional and social abilities. From this perspective, social acceptance and rejection among peers assume particular importance as they are related to children’s later well-being. In fact, studies have shown that children who are liked by their peers have positive adjustment, while numerous negative outcomes have been associated with peer rejection, including emotional and behavioral problems, school avoidance and academic failure. Therefore, it is important to better understand the factors that can contribute to influence peer acceptance and rejection. In this perspective, we conducted four studies in order to verify the nature of the associations between some children’s individual characteristics and competences and their social outcomes, both in preschool and school aged children, also considering the possible role of gender. The first chapter examines the relationships between peer acceptance and rejection, emotion regulation abilities and some temperamental traits, such as inhibition to novelty, motor activity and attention, in a group of school (Study 1) and preschool aged children (Study 2). From the results, it emerges the key role of emotion regulation which mediates the impact of temperament on social outcomes. The third study explores the role of emotional competence, not only in its regulatory aspects but also in terms of emotion comprehension. Moreover, it investigates the inter-relationships of these components with lexical abilities and the way they, separately or jointly, facilitate or hinder social relations. Conclusively, the fourth study examines the relationships between emotion regulation abilities, peer acceptance and rejection and behavioral problems in order to identify the way emotion regulation and peer rejection determine children behavioral functioning. Overall the present research work points out the role of emotional competence for the development of positive social relations among peers and appoints the importance of promoting the development of such skills through targeted programs.

Full textThe definition of empathy is the ability of individuals to recognize and share in a vicarious way the emotion felt from another person, that is translated in an experienced emotion that is much more appropriate to the emotional mood of the other than to its own, and to understand the situation trying to put him/herself in the other’s shoe in a refined way in the course of development [Hoffmann 2001]. Since preschool age, empathizing with the experience of others help to apply the adaptation to prosocial behavior [Eisenberg et al., 2006]. Moreover, empathy helps to regulate the flow of negative emotions and reduces the aggressive effects towards friends [Eisenberg, Fabes 1991], it helps the communication and it encourages to welcome differences [Hoffman 2000]. So, this is the fundamental ability to build positive interpersonal relations and the well-being of children [Albiero, Matricardi 2006], and it is important to promote it with efficient training courses [WHO 1993]. Examining the principal experiences in vocal and emotional education, and to avoid psycological discomfort, it is possible to notice how often pedagogical approaches in the preschool years are lacking in precise programs. Often these educational courses are based on cognitive techniques where the verbal dimension is a privilege at the expense of the non verbal, and of the “body work” that, on the contrary, represents a fundamental essence for the development of children’s emotional “ego”. One of the most involving experiences that music can offer is to provoke profound and meaningful excitement and emotions [Budd 1985; Davies 1994; Juslin-Sloboda 2001; Juslin, Laukka 2004] following its own logic that is different from the verbal language [Nattiez 1989]. This ability to raise the level of our emotional life [Sloboda 1985] isn’t the only characteristic of this art. In fact music, for the different sensor and body ability level to which it refers, can adopt a formative worthiness (educational, curative and aesthetical) of extraordinary importance and can help children, especially in preschool age, to feel meaningful experiences [Shuter-Dyson 1999; Imberty 2002; Sacks 2008; Anceschi 2009; Baroni 2009]. AIM In the present research the authors examined the contents and the methods of the educational course Music and well-Being (that uses global musical activities based on listening, and on vocal and instrumental production) in order to check its efficiency in improving empathy and vocal ability in a group of four year old children. METHOD Partecipants: 40 children of about 4 years old that attend two primary school classes (20 experimental groups; 20 control groups). Procedure: The research has been done in three moments: 1- pre-test (October 2009); 2- training; 3- post-test (June 2010). In the pre-test and post-test stage they have realized a phoniatric visit and they have proposed to each child a self-value interview to measure the experimental empathy in answer to picture stories in which the protagonist would feel joy, sadness, fear, anger [Albiero, Lo Coco 2001; ECSS- Strayer, 1987]. During the training state (only for the experimental group) they did an educational course (Music and well-Being) made of 24 meetings week terms of about an hour each. Following the value of the “active method”, they have tried to favor personal harmony moments to arrive at the point, rush and extend the possibility of social-emotional relationships and relate the more meaningful and formative possible. The activities of choral singing, of movement and of making music together with Orff instruments have been proposed as moments to give the children a valid instrument of alternative communication to the verbal language, and to experiment with their own body a wide field of emotional relations and, at the same time, to enrich their intra and interpersonal experience. MAIN RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The results show the educative path Music and well-Being has been efficient in improving the empathic and vocal ability of children towards all emotions considered (joy, sadness, fear, anger) and above all towards emotions of negative hedonic tone. This is important because to empathize with negative emotions like sadness and fear helps prosocial behavior in children, and empathize with anger others reduce their aggressive behavior [Eisenberg et al. 2006; Hoffmann 2000]. Music, that «is a game for kids» [Delalande 1984], can represent an important instrument useful to promote a positive interpersonal and social development in children and to improve a positive atmosphere in the class group

L'influenza di fattori individuali e contestuali sulla responsività empatica, sui comportamenti prosociali e autocentrati in bambini di età prescolare."

Full textIn letteratura esiste un florido filone di ricerca che, nell’ultimo trentennio, ha sistematicamente studiato come si sviluppano e si manifestano nei bambini di età prescolare, la responsività empatica e i comportamenti prosociali o autocentrati che possono farvi seguito. In questo ambito di studi un settore ancora poco esplorato è quello dello studio degli antecedenti (individuali e situazionali) che preludono alle risposte empatiche e ne influenzano l’espressione. Il presente lavoro di tesi esplora in che modo fattori individuali (effortful control) e situazionali (presenza nel contesto di indici espressivi e/o situazionali; intensità dello stimolo manifestato, e possibilità di allontanarsi dalla sofferenza dell’altro) considerati separatamente o in interazione tra loro influenzano la responsività empatica, i comportamenti prosociali o autocentrati (autoconforto, evitamento) nei bambini di età prescolare. Obiettivo di un primo studio è indagare il ruolo che gli indici espressivi (espressioni facciali e comportamento che esplicitano l’emozione provata dall’altro) e situazionali (cioè eventi che potrebbero suscitare un particolare vissuto nell’altro) presenti separatamente e congiuntamente rivestono nell’elicitare manifestazioni empatiche, comportamenti prosociali o autocentrati in bambini (N=120) di 3 e 5 anni in risposta alla tristezza osservata in un adulto. E’ stata utilizzata una tecnica osservativa. In termini evolutivi i risultati dello studio portano un primo contributo empirico al modello teorico di Bischof-Köhler(1991) che ipotizza che nel corso dell’età prescolare, i bambini, riuscendo a padroneggiare meccanismi cognitivi progressivamente più sofisticati, hanno accesso a forme di empatia più mature, che consentono loro di cogliere il punto di vista dell’altro e di comprendere, con maggior chiarezza rispetto ai bambini più piccoli, la sua situazione sulla base degli indici situazionali presenti nel contesto. A 3 anni i risultati evidenziano un’influenza differenziale della presenza congiunta o separata degli stimoli espressivi e situazionali nell’elicitare risposte empatiche, prosociali o autocentrate. A 5 anni quando è presente esclusivamente lo stimolo espressivo i bambini tendono a mostrare comportamenti autocentrati più frequenti e duraturi. Questo risultato potrebbe essere riconducibile ad una difficoltà dei bambini nel gestire il vissuto condiviso in assenza di una causa evidente; ovvero a differenze inter-individuali nella capacità di regolare le proprie emozioni. Per approfondire questa questione si è ci si è chiesti se fattori individuali legati alla regolazione di sé, potessero influire sulla responsività empatica. In particolare, si è inteso studiare l’influenza sull’empatia di tratto di variabili temperamentali che fin dai primi anni di vita sembrerebbe essere centrale per comprendere le differenze individuali nella regolazione affettiva e nelle conseguenti risposte comportamentali dei bambini di età prescolare in risposta agli stimoli sociali: l’effortful control e l’impulsività L’effortful control è definibile come la dimensione auto-regolativa del temperamento (Rothbart et al., 1994) che si esplicita nella capacità di sopprimere intenzionalmente e attivamente una risposta dominante per attivarne una subdominante sulla base delle richieste del contesto (Eisenberg & Spinrad, 2004; Rothbart & Bates, 2006). L’impulsività è invece definita come una dimensione reattiva di undercontrol riconoscibile in individui che si gettano a capofitto nelle situazioni senza un’adeguata riflessione (Arsenio, 1994; Eisenberg, 2002; Spinrad et al., 2006). Evidenze empiriche sottolineano come l’effortful control sia associato ad un positivo sviluppo sociale, e come l’impulsività sia associata ad un detrimento dello sviluppo delle competenze sociali nei bambini (Eisenberg & Morris, 2002). Numerosi studi hanno rilevato che bambini con alti livelli di effortful control, mostrano alti livelli di empatia e sympathy (Rothbart et al.1994; Eisenberg, Fabes, Murphy, Karbon, et al., 1996; Eisenberg, Fabes, Shepard, et al., 1998; Murphy, Shepard, Eisenberg, Fabes, & Guthrie, 1999; Eisenberg et al, 2006; Rothbart, et al., 2004). Controverse le relazioni tra impulsività ed empatia/sympathy (Eisenberg et al. 2007). In accordo con queste considerazioni, come primo passo (studio 2) sono state validate su un gruppo di 432 bambini italiani di 3-8 anni delle scale parents’- report: la versioni breve (CBQ-SF) del Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ-Putnam & Rothbart, 2006) per la misura del temperamento, la versione lunga della scala di Effortful Control (Rothbart et al., 2001) e una scala per la misura dell’empatia di tratto (Ahadi & Rothbart, 1994). I risultati hanno confermato un buon adattamento dei modelli ai dati. Quindi (studio 3), è stato testato un modello di equazioni strutturali che verificasse l’influenza differenziale dell’effortful control e dell’impulsività sull’empatia di tratto riferita dai genitori in bambini di 5 anni (N=120). In linea con la letteratura si è rilevata un’ influenza positiva dell’effortful control sull’empatia dei bambini. Nessuna relazione è stata rilevata tra impulsività ed empatia(Eisenberget al., 2007). In un quarto studio, si è indagata l’influenza congiunta dell’effortful control (utilizzando una misura multimetodo) e di fattori contestuali (possibilità di fuga e intensità dello stimolo emotigeno, che mettono in gioco la capacità di autoregolazione) sulle manifestazioni empatiche e i comportamenti prosociali e autocentrati messi in atto da bambini di 5 anni, avvalendosi di una tecnica osservativa. In una prima fase, utilizzando una CFA, si è verificata su un gruppo di bambini di 5 anni (N=228) la tenuta di una misura multi metodo di effortful control composta dai punteggi parents’- report che i bambini hanno ottenuto alla versione italiana della scala del CBQ (Rothbart, 2001) e dai punteggi ottenuti ad una prova osservativa di persistenza dell’attenzione (Puzzle task, Eisenberg et al. 2004). Quindi, utilizzando un modello di equazioni strutturali si è riconfermata l’influenza dell’effortful control (riferito dai genitori e osservato nei bambini) sull’empatia di tratto riferita dai genitori. A questo punto ci si è focalizzati sull’obiettivo centrale dello studio. Le differenze tra i bambini (165 dei 228 partecipanti iniziali) con alto e basso effortful control sono state testate utilizzando un disegno fattoriale 2 x 2 con due fattori tra soggetti: uno rappresentato dai due livelli di difficoltà che incontrano i bambini per allontanarsi dalla situazione sperimentale (fuga facile vs fuga difficile) e uno rappresentato da due livelli di intensità con cui lo sperimentatore manifesta tristezza (alta intensità verso moderata intensità). I risultati indicano che i fattori situazionali (possibilità di fuga e intensità) interagiscono nell’influenzare le risposte empatiche, determinando una maggiore responsività dei bambini quando è difficile allontanarsi dalla sofferenza dell’altro e lo stimolo emotigeno è più intenso. Non si è rilevata un’incidenza dell’effortful control sul manifestarsi di espressioni empatiche. D’altro canto l’effortful control congiuntamente ai fattori situazionali influenza la messa in atto di comportamenti autocentrati. Presi complessivamente questi risultati suggeriscono l’importanza di restituire complessità allo studio dell’empatia nell’età prescolare, considerando le interazioni tra la dimensione individuale autoregolativa e le caratteristiche della situazione emotigena, per comprendere e interpretare con maggiore chiarezza le manifestazioni osservabili di empatia dei bambini e pensare corsi di prevenzione primaria che possano più efficacemente incidere sullo sviluppo della competenza empatica promuovendo condotte prosociali.

Full textThree kinds of songs are discussed here in relation to their insertion within the public preschool education in mexico and to the methods used to teach them: children's traditional songs, composed songs endorsed by the state for educational purposes, and songs created by " cri-cri " (francisco gabilondo soler). The latter's short stories provide supplementary material for the comparative analysis, within the framework of edmond cros's theory of sociocriticism. The period delimited by gabilondo's earliest compositions and the publication of the only recording which includes his short stories (1934-1963) is also the time when the best known educational songs were composed, and marks as well the struggle to substitute these for the traditional songs and to prevent the use of those created by " cri-cri ". But the circumstances and the practices exposed here are carried out unto the nursery schools of the 80's and 90's, where the coexistence of the three kinds of songs is most evident. The core question concerns the utilization of songs, which in general does not respond to the achievement of musical goals; the aim is to reveal the image of society and the social structures reproduced through the learning of songs in the everyday educational practice of the nursery schools

Full textThe present work aims to explore early mathematical competences in typically developing children and in individuals with Down syndrome. The period between 2 and 6 years is crucial for numerical abilities because there is a connection between innate numerical representation and cultural and social acquisition. The co-existence of number-specific and domain-general processes allows the development of numerical skills: the formers are linked to the numerical cognition, the domain-general processes include reasoning, language, and executive functions. In this period children show the ability to use mental representations and develop different cognitive abilities, like Gf factor and executive functions. The first study investigated early mathematical competences and domain-general processes in children between 4 and 5 years old. A battery of tasks assessing numerical competences, fluid reasoning, logical thinking, receptive language, and executive functions have been administered to a group of 71 typically developing children divided into groups based on their age (4-4.5 vs 4.6-4.11). The results revealed that the younger group performed at a significantly lower level on tasks assessing symbolic mathematical skills and counting. The mental additions and quantity discrimination performances were similar between the two groups. Furthermore, there were significant differences between the two groups on logical thinking, inhibition and sustained attention tasks. The results showed significant correlations between domain-general processes and concomitant mathematical competences, but the effects of these associations were different for the two groups. The second research analysed the same cognitive tasks in individuals with Down syndrome. Intellectual disability has been identified as one of the most important features in this population. The behavioral phenotype of individuals with Down syndrome is characterized by language impairments, limited memory span, and deficits in executive functions and learning abilities. The battery has been administered to a group of 11 individuals with Down syndrome and 11 typically developing children matched for mental age, assessed with the Operazioni Logiche test. The findings revealed that the group of participants with Down syndrome performed at a significantly lower level of quantity discrimination, grammatical comprehension, and short-term verbal memory tasks. Moreover, individuals with Down syndrome read better Arabic numbers than the control group. The results showed differences between the two groups on the quantity and quality of the relationships between domain-general processes and mathematical competences. Certainly, more researches on typically developing and Down syndrome children are needed, but these findings have shown significant similitudes and differences between typical and atypical population and the importance of a neuropsychological assessment. It should include mathematical competences, EF, language, fluid reasoning, and logical thinking. This approach could be useful for identifying strengths and weaknesses in the profiles.

Full textThis study investigated the association between attachment relationship to teacher and the emotional expression in Down Syndrome (DS) children enrolled in regular kindergarten. The hypothesis of this study was that DS children showed a lower secure attachment level to teacher than control group and that their emotional expression is associated to attachment behavior. Sixteen children with Down Syndrome (7 M and 9 F; mean chronological age: 53,1 months) and twenty-four typically developing children (12 M and 12 F; mean chronological age: 43 months) with their teachers participated at this study. The two groups were matched for mental age. Teacher–child attachment was assessed using the Attachment Q-Sort. Intensity of emotional expressions was assessed using Lewis Socio-Emotional Development Scale. Data showed that DS children presented a more intense expression of negative emotions, and a lower intensity of positive emotions (p<0,01) when compared with control group. In typically developing children a secure attachment relationship to the teacher was present in 21 of 24 (87.5%), while in DS children in 10 of 16 (62.5%). In regular kindergarten, Down Syndrome children seem to be able to establish a secure attachment with the teacher and this capacity seem to be associated to the intensity of the emotional expression in the educational context.
