La ricerca verte sul significato attribuito alla convivenza responsabile nei contesti locali ed č finalizzata a comprendere la discrepanza tra i cambiamenti culturali relativi alla ridefinizione del ruolo di cittadino e le prassi volte al raggiungimento del benessere sociale. A tal fine sono stati raccolti gli scritti di 73 studenti universitari. Dall'analisi tematica degli elaborati sono emerse le dimensioni strutturanti la rappresentazione locale di convivenza ed i diversi fattori determinanti la costruzione di azioni pro-sociali. Si evidenzia un non riconoscimento di spazi di condivisione e di negoziazione. In particolare prevale la mancanza di quel sentimento di fiducia che sviluppa interdipendenza costruttiva, funzionale alla convivenza responsabile.

The present study aimed to increase understanding of well‐being in workplace community by examining a moderated mediated model including the test of the mediating effect of needs satisfaction, and the moderating effect of physical activity on the sense of community—vigor relationship, in a longitudinal perspective. The sample was composed of 95 workers (63.6% females) who completed an online survey three times during a 4‐month period. Results showed that the indirect effect of sense of community on vigor 4 months later, through satisfaction of need for relatedness, is significant among employees who practice a high level of moderate to vigorous physical activity. The findings suggest that (a) sense of community—conceived as a job resource—is responsible for needs satisfaction and may be considered an important component of the vigor process, and (b) that positive effects of physical activity can enhance employees' resource gains and recovery, favoring the experience of vigor in workplace community.

The purpose of the present study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a measure of sport sense of community (SoC) for adolescents grounded in McMillan and Chavis’ framework: the Sport Sense of Community in Adolescence Questionnaire (SSCAQ). A calibration sample of 256 and a validation sample of 257 adolescent athletes voluntarily participated in the study. Data were analyzed pertaining to reliability, confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs), and multigroup CFAs as well as with correlational analyses. Results showed that the 5-factor, 19-item hierarchical model of the SSCAQ fit the data adequately on the calibration and validation samples. Multigroup CFAs showed that the SSCAQ scores were invariant across sex of the participants and type of sport (individual versus team sports). Furthermore, both convergent and discriminant validity of the SSCAQ scores were established by finding interrelations between perceived autonomy support from the coach, future sport intentions, and the SSCAQ subscales. The SSCAQ is a measure that will be useful for research on sport SoC
