Ph.D. student in Health Promotion And Cognitive Sciences - University of Palermo

I am currently studying for a Ph.D. in Health Promotion And Cognitive Sciences at UNIPA.

In 2015 I started my first Ph.D. at Palermo University. During my first PhD program I focused on Social Media usage by small and medium enterprises. At the end of 2019, I started my second Ph.D. at Palermo University.

I am currently working on a research project that aims to better understand the role of social comparison orientation (SCO) both online and in real life. Moreover, my research project aims at validating an italian version of the most used instrument to measure SCO and to create its adaptation online.

 

My scientific interests are: social media, social comparison both in real life and online, eating disorders and health promotion.
