Giulia Ballarotto

Giulia Ballarotto serves as a Fixed-term Researcher Type A in Clinical Psychology (SSD: MPSI/08) at Sapienza University of Rome. She has been an active member of the Italian Psychology Association's Clinical and Dynamic Psychology Section since 2016.

Her research critically examines parent-child interactions across developmental stages: early childhood food dynamics during the first 1,000 days, middle childhood autobiographical narrative formation, and adolescent emotional regulation within family/peer systems. She pioneers investigations into how empathy, emotional regulation, and compassion drive pro-environmental behaviors, bridging clinical psychology with sustainability science.
