The development of professional identity starts with childhood. In adolescence, individuals should have appropriate resources to make choices; high levels of self-efficacy and professional curiosity, as well as better representations of the concept of work and decent work, could support adolescents in their planning of the future. For this reason, we developed a training aimed at providing adolescents with resources of professional curiosity and self-efficacy, which would also increase their representation of the concepts of work and decent work. A longitudinal study compared a control group (n = 80) with an experimental group (n = 80). The second group participated in mainly qualitative career counseling activities and showed an improvement in the levels of professional curiosity and self-efficacy; moreover, after the training, the experimental group showed a better representation of work and decent work. Consequently, the training managed to improve the dimensions set out above. The results show that career counseling activities can help increase adolescent resources and increase their chances of finding a qualitatively good job.

“…In this study, we aimed to explore how values could influence risk intelligence, conceptualized as a multidimensional psychological characteristic that helps individuals to effectively assess risks, considering their advantages and disadvantages, facing them as an opportunity rather than a threat, and feeling able to manage a certain margin of uncertainty about the outcome of one’s choice [ 27 ].…”

“…The Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS, [ 27 ]) has a total of twenty-one items; the statements presented describe behaviours or moods, and respondents have to answer in a five-point Likert-type scale from 1 (totally disagree) to 5 (totally agree). Sample items are “to be able to create new procedures, I think for myself instead of following procedures established by others” (measure of imaginative capability), “I feel able to make decisions even when I don’t have all the information” (measure of problem-solving self-efficacy), “when I feel fearful about something, I have difficulty concentrating on everything” (measure of emotional stress vulnerability), and “the uncertainty about possible developments of a situation paralyzes me” (measure of negative attitude toward uncertainty).…”

“…The construct of subjective risk intelligence (SRI) has recently been introduced in career counselling [ 26 ], and it is defined as a multidimensional psychological characteristic that helps individuals to effectively evaluate risks, considering their advantages and disadvantages, approaching them as opportunities more than as threats, and feeling able to manage a certain margin of uncertainty about the outcomes of their choice [ 27 ]. Risk-intelligent individuals can effectively evaluate risky situations, considering them as opportunities and not threats; they develop a positive attitude in uncertain situations and face unpredictability with creativity and emotional control [ 27 ]. Nicholson and West [ 28 ] consider career changes as risky situations.…”

In a risk society, personal values can be important resources, useful for managing uncertainty and guiding people in the perception of risk. The goal of this article is to explore the relationship between risk intelligence and personal values. The participants were 731 Italian adults aged between 18 and 65 years (M = 30.25; DS = 10.71). The survey was composed of the following measures: Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale and Portrait Values Questionnaire. Data analyses have found significant relationships between some types of personal values and risk intelligence: subjective risk intelligence is negatively related to conservation and positively related to openness to change and self-transcendence, but it was not related to self-enhancement. Furthermore, values of openness to change and self-transcendence mediate the relationship between age and subjective risk intelligence, while conservation values and self-enhancement values did not mediate the same relationship. Implication for practice and future research will be discussed.

“…Linear structural equations models were used to verify the hypothesized model. Tests were executed in AMOS 25.0 [65] through the maximum likelihood method. Firstly, a series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were carried out on the dataset to establish if the short version (six items) one-factor model was that which best fit the data.…”

Psychometric Properties, Measurement Invariance, and Construct Validity of the Italian Version of the Brand Hate Short Scale (BHS)

Brand hate can be defined as the consumer’s dissatisfaction with the product or service performance. The consumer’s hatred of the brand is related to the desire for revenge and avoidance. This kind of emotion does not remain only a desire; it is often transformed into real actions that lead to consumer behavior. Although the analysis of the literature provides useful insights and interesting suggestions about the phenomenon of brand hate, to date, very few studies and scales that are capable of measuring this phenomenon have been developed, especially in the Italian context. The present work investigated the psychometric properties of an Italian adaptation of the BHSs (N = 422) with the aim of verifying the same factor structure found in the original German version. Results confirmed a one-factor structure (first order, 6 items). Moreover, the scale was found to be invariant across gender. This suggests that companies must first have adequate systems and mechanisms in place to understand the reasons that drive consumers to hate the brand and implement recovery strategies to address this hatred. The achievement of sustainability or failure to do so can add to or detract from a brand’s value in the marketplace.
