Dr. Francesco Sulla is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities at the University of Foggia, Italy. He earned his PhD in Psychology at the University of Parma and received the Doctor Europaeus distinction after a seven-month research stay in the United Kingdom. He later held a postdoctoral position at the University of Iceland, collecting cross-cultural data on teachers’ use of approval and disapproval in classrooms across England, Italy, and Iceland. As principal investigator, he has recently led two national Italian projects focused on university students’ psychological well-being and on risk factors and interventions for teen dating violence. He has authored 40 peer-reviewed publications and serves as Secretary of the European Association for Behavior Analysis. His teaching covers developmental, educational, and adolescent psychology. His research centers on teacher and student academic well-being—examining risk factors (e.g., technostrain, stereotypes, discrimination) and protective factors (e.g., grit, online engagement)—and on adolescent aggression, with action-research interventions targeting teen dating violence and homobi-transphobic bullying.
