The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potentiality of the Interview of Maternal Representations during Pregnancy-Revised Version (IRMAG-R; M. Ammaniti & R. Tambelli, 2010) in exploring maternal representations in at-risk and nonrisk conditions. Maternal representations were assessed during the last trimester of pregnancy in 411 nonrisk women and in 255 depressed and/or psychosocially at-risk women. The results showed a prevalence of Integrated/Balanced representations in nonrisk women and a higher frequency of Not Integrated/Ambivalent representations in at-risk women. Data obtained confirm that the IRMAG-R is a valid instrument for exploring maternal representation during the last trimester of pregnancy in both the absence and presence of risk conditions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potentiality of the Interview of Maternal Representations during Pregnancy-Revised Version (IRMAG-R; M. Ammaniti & R. Tambelli, 2010) in exploring maternal representations in at-risk and nonrisk conditions. Maternal representations were assessed during the last trimester of pregnancy in 411 nonrisk women and in 255 depressed and/or psychosocially at-risk women. The results showed a prevalence of Integrated/Balanced representations in nonrisk women and a higher frequency of Not Integrated/Ambivalent representations in at-risk women. Data obtained confirm that the IRMAG-R is a valid instrument for exploring maternal representation during the last trimester of pregnancy in both the absence and presence of risk conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
