Alessandro Decarli studied psychology at the Universities of Aarhus (Denmark) and Bologna (Italy), where he received his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). He then obtained a Master of Psychology (Psy.M.) in 2013 from the University of Trento (Italy) with a thesis entitled “Attachment in adopted adolescents: An empirical study using the Friends and Family Interview.
He joined the Research Group “Self-Regulation and Health” at the Institute for Health and Behaviour – INSIDE in January 2015 and, after a successful application for an AFR-FNR Ph.D. scholarship, he is currently working on his doctoral research project entitled “Mental health and wellbeing during adolescence: The role of child attachment and parents’ representations of their children” (ATTACH), under supervision of Prof. Dr. Claus Vögele.
The aim of the research is to investigate the attachment representations, the socio-emotional adjustment and possible behaviour problems, and the parents’ representations about their children in adopted adolescents, adolescents with divorced parents and adolescents living with their biological parents.
This project will generate new important knowledge concerning the effects of caregiving, attachment, separation, early trauma and deprivation on mental health across the life cycle and particularly during adolescence, and concerning the protective role of secure attachment. Adolescence is thought to be an especially sensitive period in this regard, yet this has not been fully explored. The mediating role of adolescents’ attachment regarding mental health concerns an important research question in the current project, which is crucial regarding potential interventions.
His main research interests are:
- Attachment in infancy and childhood
- Attachment in adolescence
- Attachment in adulthood
- Parenting
- Emotion regulation
- Psychophysiology of attachment
- Adoption and foster care
- Attachment disorders
- Developmental psychopathology
- Attachment-based interventions
