L’obiettivo di questo studio è di indagare l’associazione tra l’impatto della pandemia da COVID-19 sulla vita degli adolescenti e delle loro famiglie e il comportamento aggressivo, analizzando inoltre il ruolo di moderazione del calore genitoriale. 1.053 adolescenti hanno compilato un questionario online che andava a valutare: l’impatto della pandemia sugli adolescenti e sull’armonia familiare, il calore, il comportamento aggressivo e la percezione di cambiamento del comportamento aggressivo durante il lockdown. Due modelli di equazioni strutturali sono stati testati per valutare le relazioni tra le variabili. I risultati hanno evidenziato: a) l’associazione tra un maggiore impatto personale della pandemia e livelli più elevati di aggressività e di incremento di questa; b) l’associazione tra un maggiore impatto sull’armonia familiare della pandemia e l’incremento dei comportamenti aggressivi; c) il ruolo protettivo del calore.;
