PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL STUDIES

Print
Plesso di Borgo Carssimi - Cortile e ingresso principale

The Psychological and Social Studies Unit is characterised by the joining of multiple perspectives oriented to the analysis of individual, relational, social and institutional processes, in different contexts of the life of individuals and of groups, and in light of changes in contemporary society.

The core interests on which the various Areas of Study (Psychology, Sociology, Political Doctrines, Law) that comprise the Unit meet, deal with forms of subjectivity and communication: the interconnection of individual, interpersonal, social and political processes; the relationship between genre and generation; the dynamics of inclusion/exclusion; the typical and atypical developmental processes in the circle of life; educational relationships and connections with treatment; the representation of self and the construction of identity; political processes and their theoretical elaborations; ongoing changes in the ethnic and religious composition of the population, and the inter-group and intercultural dynamics linked with them. The research is carried out according to various quantitative and qualitative methodologies with particular attention to theoretical and epistemological aspects of research.
