This thesis examines the psychosocial vulnerabilities, psychopathological outcomes, and intervention strategies related to the Incel phenomenon. In the first part, through a literature review, the history and characteristics of the broader Manosphere—the context within which the Incel world develops—are explored in depth. Subsequently, the second chapter analyzes the main psychosocial characteristics and vulnerabilities most frequently associated with Incel adolescents and young adults. The third chapter addresses the primary psychopathological outcomes, such as suicidal ideation, the phenomenon of isolation, the NEET condition, and, finally, radicalization and other-directed violence. The thesis concludes with an in-depth analysis of the psychotherapeutic and social intervention methods and strategies proposed in the literature.
Questa tesi esamina le vulnerabilità psicosociali, gli esiti psicopatologici e le strategie di intervento in relazione al fenomeno Incel. In una prima parte, attraverso la rassegna della letteratura, si approfondiscono la storia e le caratteristiche del gruppo più ampio della Manosfera, contesto in cui il mondo Incel si sviluppa. Successivamente, nel secondo capitolo analizza le principali caratteristiche psicosociali e di vulnerabilità più frequentemente associate ad adolescenti e giovani adulti Incel. Nel terzo capitolo si trattano i principali esiti psicopatologici quali l’ideazione suicidaria, il fenomeno dell’isolamento e la condizione di NEET, e in ultimo la radicalizzazione e la violenza eterodiretta. La tesi si conclude con un approfondimento sulle modalità e strategie di intervento psicoterapeutico e sociale proposte dalla letteratura.

Abstract
This thesis examines the psychosocial vulnerabilities, psychopathological outcomes, and intervention strategies related to the Incel phenomenon. In the first part, through a literature review, the history and characteristics of the broader Manosphere—the context within which the Incel world develops—are explored in depth. Subsequently, the second chapter analyzes the main psychosocial characteristics and vulnerabilities most frequently associated with Incel adolescents and young adults. The third chapter addresses the primary psychopathological outcomes, such as suicidal ideation, the phenomenon of isolation, the NEET condition, and, finally, radicalization and other-directed violence. The thesis concludes with an in-depth analysis of the psychotherapeutic and social intervention methods and strategies proposed in the literature.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
