Abstract
This study aims at
investigating the self-differentiating perceptions and the
separation-individuation’s process in emerging adulthood twins. A group of 40
Italian pairs of twins (21 couples dizygotic-DZ and 19 monozygotic-MZ) aged
20-30 years, were evaluated using the test of graphic projection Family Life
Space (DSSVF) and through a specific questionnaire ad hoc constructed for this
research. The research hypothesis focuses on Zazzo’s test of parallel testimony
and gives empirical evidence about the capacity of MZ Twins to use more
internal resources of the couple than DZ Twins. This causes the split slowdown
on identification. The data show that there are no differences between non-bisexual
MZ and DZ couple. Moreover, there is a weaker reciprocal relation in the
opposite sex DZ couple than in the others.
