The Department of Psychology and Health Sciences focuses its research activity on four main thematic areas, enabling a multidisciplinary and cross-cutting perspective on key topics of interest.
The currently active research groups are involved in national and international projects, in collaboration with leading universities and institutions.
The full list of projects is available at the following link:
Psychology, Technology and Social Dynamics for Well-being
The Psychological research strand approaches health as a dynamic ecosystem, integrating studies on human-technology interaction, personal development, and social dynamics. On one hand, it focuses on the role of advanced technologies in promoting physical and psychological well-being, inclusion, and prevention. On the other, it deepens the exploration of cultural dynamics across social contexts, emphasizing the importance of social interactions and environments in fostering resilience and individual growth.
Lifestyle and Health: Biomedical Perspectives
The Biomedical research strand concentrates on evaluating the impact of lifestyle factors—such as physical activity, nutrition, sleep quality, and chronotype—on health, understood as quality of life, and on the development and management of major metabolic disorders in both clinical and non-clinical populations.
Gender, Labor, and Society in the Creative Industries
The Sociological research strand investigates the social construction of gender and the division of labor along gender lines, with a particular focus on the creative industries. Within this context, it examines the interplay between technology, technique, and society, addressing how social roles and inequalities are shaped by cultural and technological factors.
Territory, Economy, and Social Sustainability
The Economic and Territorial research strand centers its inquiry on the territory as an ecosystem and autonomous productive factor, capable of influencing the social sustainability of communities, lifestyles, and the construction of gender and labor division. Special attention is given to the analysis of productive sectors and territorial policies, particularly within the agri-food and cultural domains.
