Graduate Student, Catholic University of Milan

My name is Francesca Danioni and I am a PhD student in Social Psychology at the Catholic University of Milan, where I collaborate at the Family Studies and Research University Centre. I work under the supervision of Professor Rosa Rosnati and Professor Daniela Barni. My research interests mainly deal with value development and family relations, with regard as well to intergenerational relationships and adoptive families. I am currently collaborating on a cross cultural research project that aims at investigating the adjustment of a sample of adopted adolescents (13- 17 years of age) and the quality of family and social relationships in adoptive families. Adoptive families from four different European countries (Italy, France, Norway, and Spain) will take part in this study.
