Psicologa, Dottore di Ricerca in Psicologia dello Sviluppo, Sociale e della Ricerca Educativa, Professoressa Associata presso il Dipartimento di Psicologia dei Processi di Sviluppo e Socializzazione, Sapienza Università di Roma. Terapeuta Familiare Sistemico Relazionale Simbolico Esperienziale.

La Prof.ssa Jessica Pistella svolge attività di ricerca nell’ambito della psicologia dello sviluppo e dell’educazione approfondendo i seguenti temi:
1) Parenting e funzionamento familiare. Gli studi riguardano principalmente: a) la relazione tra parenting, funzionamento familiare e adattamento di bambini e adolescenti; b) validazione e adattamento italiano di strumenti di misura.
2) Omogenitorialità e benessere psicologico dei bambini e delle bambine cresciute in una famiglia con genitori dello stesso sesso. I contributi di ricerca indagano gli atteggiamenti nei confronti delle competenze di genitori gay, lesbiche e bisessuali, e il benessere psicologico dei bambini e delle bambine cresciute nelle famiglie omogenitoriali.
3) Pregiudizi di genere e omofobia all’interno dei contesti sportivi. Le ricerche analizzano i livelli di omofobia e di pregiudizio all’interno dei contesti sportivi, indagando queste tematiche nei diversi tipi di sport. Inoltre, approfondiscono tematiche quali il coming-out e gli atteggiamenti verso il coming-out all’interno dei differenti tipi di sport.
4) Sviluppo di un’identità positiva e processi di svelamento (coming-out) in persone gay, lesbiche e bisessuali. I temi di ricerca e intervento riguardano lo sviluppo di un’identità positiva, il benessere psicologico, le reazioni al coming-out, e i fattori di rischio e di protezione in adolescenza e in preadolescenza.
