Using a structured questionnaire to collect quantitative and qualitative data on adolescents' experiences and perceptions.

* The Italian version of the Mentalization Questionnaire (MZQ) was developed as a self-rated instrument to assess mentalization. It consists of 15 items with responses ranging from 1 = 'no agreement at all' to 5 = 'total agreement' on a 5-point Likert scale. Calculated sum scores for the total scale range from 15 to 75 with higher scores indicating lower mentalization capacities.
* The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) is a measure of deficiency in understanding, processing, or describing emotions (alexithymia). It has twenty statements rated on a five-point Likert scale. The total score ranges from 40 to 200 and the higher score indicates a greater level of alexithymia.
