“…Furthermore, from a clinical perspective, these results suggest that aspects of emotional and bodily awareness [11], as well as the ability to manage concerns and attention, are correlated with visceral sensitivity, in line with Atanasova's studies [12]. This supports the concurrent validity of the VSI as a tool for assessing visceral sensitivity in the context of various psychological experiences and strategies.…”

The VSI represents a significant advancement in the assessment of gastrointestinal-specific anxiety among patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and other Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). However, an Italian version of the instrument is not yet available for the reference population. This study utilized a national sample of 500 individuals, including healthy controls and patients with Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease, to test the validity and reliability of the Italian VSI. Using back-translation methodology to ensure translation fidelity, the research applied a questionnaire and the VSI through an online format to 500 participants. Data analysis revealed that the Italian VSI had excellent psychometric properties, demonstrating high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.95) and construct validity. The scale proved sensitive in detecting significant differences in visceral sensitivity among groups, highlighting its utility as a clinical and research assessment tool. Specifically, the Italian VSI exhibited a unidimensional factorial structure and maintained a strong correlation with other measures of anxiety and the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms, confirming its role in enhancing the understanding and management of IBS and IBD in Italy.

“…The present study investigated the relationship between implicit vs. explicit emotion processing and ageing (Schiller et al 2024 ). We exploited the spatial filtering technique to indirectly investigate the functioning of the subcortical route in subliminal emotion processing through a go/no-go emotional task.…”

Emotions are processed in the brain through a cortical route, responsible for detailed-conscious recognition and mainly based on image High Spatial Frequencies (HSF), and a subcortical route, responsible for coarse-unconscious processing and based on Low SF (LSF). However, little is known about possible changes in the functioning of the two routes in ageing. In the present go/no-go online task, 112 younger adults and 111 older adults were asked to press a button when a happy or angry face appeared (go) and to inhibit responses for neutral faces (no-go). Facial stimuli were presented unfiltered (broadband image), filtered at HSF and LSF, and hybrids (LSF of an emotional expression superimposed to the HSF of the same face with a neutral expression). All stimuli were also presented rotated on the vertical axis (upside-down) to investigate the global analysis of faces in ageing. Results showed an overall better performance of younger compared to older participants for all conditions except for hybrid stimuli. The expected face-inversion effect was confirmed in both age groups. We conclude that, besides an overall worsening of the perceptual skill with ageing, no specific impairment in the functioning of both the cortical and the subcortical route emerged.

“…Thorough screenings are required of culturally situated discretized emotions relevant to moral dilemmas (Michelini et al, 2019 ). Indeed, condensing complex emotions and emotion-laden stimuli into basic affective features such as valence and arousal risks missing cultural differences key for comparing samples (Ferré et al, 2022 ; Lim, 2016 ; Schiller et al, 2023 ; Yik et al, 2023 ). Furthermore, harmonized parameters are needed to constrain assumptions on emotional state types (McFarlane & Perez, 2020 ), and normative data to define emotion valence baselines between groups (McFarlane & Perez, 2020 ).…”

Bilinguals on the footbridge: the role of foreign-language proficiency in moral decision making

Socio-cognitive research on bilinguals points to a moral foreign-language effect (MFLE), with more utilitarian choices (e.g., sacrificing someone to save more people) for moral dilemmas presented in the second language (L2) relative to the first language. Yet, inconsistent results highlight the influence of subject-level variables, including a critical underexplored factor: L2 proficiency (L2p). Here we provide a systematic review of 57 bilingualism studies on moral dilemmas, showing that L2p rarely modulates responses to impersonal dilemmas, but it does impact personal dilemmas (with MFLEs proving consistent at intermediate L2p levels but unsystematic at high L2p levels). We propose an empirico-theoretical framework to conceptualize such patterns, highlighting the impact of L2p on four affective mediating factors: mental imagery, inhibitory control, prosocial behavior and numerical processing. Finally, we outline core challenges for the field. These insights open new avenues at the crossing of bilingualism and social cognition research.
