Originally, the sample was constituted by 98 Italian university students, mainly females, attending the first year
of psychology degree course at University of Catania (East Sicily). Of these students, 67 (T1: Mage=19, sd=1; T2:
Mage=20.97, sd=.76) were interviewed also at last year of the course; the other 31 students were not followed
because they moved out of the psychology degree course or because they didn’t pass the exams required to the
enrolment on the last year.
