The present exploratory study aimed to investigate existing differences in psychological constructs such as intolerance of uncertainty, emotional dysregulation and depressive symptoms in emerging adults who, at the time of data collection, were single or in a sentimental relationship. The data was collected using a socio-demographic form and some standardized self-report questionnaires. The sample consisted of 277 young adults, aged between 18 and 25 years. In addition to their relational status, the differences in age and gender of the subjects making up the two research groups were also taken into consideration. Through data analysis, we also wanted to understand the differences between the two groups in the distribution within the various depression ranges; moreover, for both groups, the correlation of intolerance to uncertainty with emotional dysregulation and depressive symptoms was analysed. All this, always considering the specificity of emerging adulthood as a stage of life.
Il presente studio esplorativo ha l’obiettivo di indagare le differenze esistenti in merito a costrutti psicologici come l’intolleranza all’incertezza, la disregolazione emozionale e i sintomi depressivi in adulti emergenti che, al momento della raccolta dei dati, erano single o in una relazione sentimentale. I dati sono stati raccolti utilizzando una scheda socio-demografica e alcuni questionari standardizzati di tipo self-report. Il campione era costituito da 277 giovani adulti, aventi un’età compresa tra i 18 e i 25 anni. Oltre al loro status relazionale, sono state tenute in considerazione anche le differenze in età e genere dei soggetti componenti i due gruppi della ricerca. Attraverso l’analisi dei dati, si è voluto anche capire le differenze tra i due gruppi nella distribuzione all’interno delle varie fasce di depressione; inoltre, per entrambi i gruppi, è stata analizzata la correlazione dell’intolleranza all’incertezza con la disregolazione emozionale e i sintomi depressivi. Tutto ciò, sempre tenendo in considerazione la specificità dell’emerging adulthood come fase di vita.

Abstract
The present exploratory study aimed to investigate existing differences in psychological constructs such as intolerance of uncertainty, emotional dysregulation and depressive symptoms in emerging adults who, at the time of data collection, were single or in a sentimental relationship. The data was collected using a socio-demographic form and some standardized self-report questionnaires. The sample consisted of 277 young adults, aged between 18 and 25 years. In addition to their relational status, the differences in age and gender of the subjects making up the two research groups were also taken into consideration. Through data analysis, we also wanted to understand the differences between the two groups in the distribution within the various depression ranges; moreover, for both groups, the correlation of intolerance to uncertainty with emotional dysregulation and depressive symptoms was analysed. All this, always considering the specificity of emerging adulthood as a stage of life.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
