Introducing the DYNAMICS framework of moment-to-moment development in achievement motivation

2022

This article introduces a new theoretical and psychometric framework describing moment-to-moment development and inter-dependencies of achievement motivation in terms of the situated expectancy-value theory, by introducing dynamical systems concepts into this line of research. As a first empirical example of a study using this framework, we examined whether task values, costs, and success expectancies measured in a learning situation (time point t) predicted themselves and each other at the next situation (t + 1; 27 min later) within a weekly university lecture. Situational task values, expectancies, and costs were assessed using the experience sampling method in 155 university teacher trai…

The Motivation Scale for the Game (EMJ) : study of the use of the game in educational contexts

2014

Aunque el juego ha sido estudiado y descrito desde múltiples ópticas, relevando su importancia en el desarrollo humano, su uso en el ámbito educativo pareciera estar restringido mayoritariamente al nivel de educación parvularia. En este sentido, la motivación de los docentes por la integración de nuevas metodologías (incluido el juego) parece ser una variable relevante a la hora de estudiar el cambio y la mejora en educación. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una escala que puede ayudar al estudio de la motivación por el uso del juego y reportar sus características psicométricas. La Escala de Motivación por el Juego (EMJ) ha sido construida a partir del Modelo de Expectativa y Valor…

Elämänasenteiden ja -odotusten yhteys fyysiseen toimintakykyyn myöhemmällä iällä

2017

Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten myöhäiskeski-iän elämänasenteet ja -odotukset ovat yhteydessä fyysiseen toimintakykyyn myöhemmällä iällä. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin, ovatko elämänasenteet ja -odotukset yhteydessä fyysiseen toimintakykyyn vielä silloinkin, kun otetaan huomioon muut tunnetut toimintakyvyn riskitekijät, kuten ikä, sukupuoli, sosioekonominen asema ja koettu terveys. Tutkielman aineistona käytettiin Helsingin syntymäkohorttitutkimuksen (The Helsinki Birth Cohort Study) aineistoa vuosilta 2001–2011. Tutkimukseen osallistui 469 miestä ja 604 naista eli yhteensä 1073 tutkittavaa. Osanottajien keski-ikä vuonna 2001 oli noin 61 vuotta. Elämänasenteisiin liit…

Deep and Proximate Determinants of the World Income Distribution

2019

This paper studies the deep and proximate determinants of the evolution of the cross-country distribution of GDP per worker in the period 1960–2008 by a novel method based on an information criterion. We find that countries of our sample follow three distinctive growth regimes identified by two deep determinants, namely life expectancy at birth in 1960 and the share of Catholics in 1965, and that each regime is characterized by non-linearities. Growth regimes appear to be the main cause of the increased inequality and polarization, while technological catch-up, proxied by the initial level of GDP per worker, acts in the opposite direction. Finally, human capital marginally reduces polarizat…

Política monetària en el model amb expectatives, corba de Philipps: pràctica d'ordinador

2009

Recomendamos un ejercicio numérico que permite a los estudiantes observar la dinámica de un simple modelo, compuesto por la curva de Phillips, ley de Okun y demanda agregada, ante variaciones en la política monetaria. El ejercicio tiene como objetivo enseñar a los estudiantes la importancia de la manera en la que se forman las expectativas y la (no)credibilidad del banco central para el cumplimiento de los objetivos de la política monetaria.

Expectations And Mindsets Related To GDPR

The aim of this qualitative case study is to examine the initial expectations and assumptions related to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union from the perspectives of selected Finnish organizations: what were the initial expectations of GDPR, how were they adapted/refined over time, and what was the impact on organizational planning and resourcing. There are no precise earlier studies on the subject. The research question was:  What were the organizations’ initial expectations of GDPR - and how have they affected the efforts made?  GDPR can be described as an input that forms images, preconceptions and views among other things, through various active and passive c…

Risk Factors for Parental Burnout among Finnish Parents: The Role of Socially Prescribed Perfectionism

2019

Abstract Objectives Although parental burnout can have detrimental consequences to families, the investigation of the syndrome is still in its infancy. The present study investigated what are the key family background variables that contribute to parental burnout among Finnish parents. Moreover, we investigated how self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism uniquely and interactively relate to parental burnout over and above the impacts of background variables. Methods Questionnaire-based data was collected from 1725 parents (91% mothers) and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results The results showed that when several family- and child-related background variable…

Public relations and expectation theory : Introducing Relationship Expectation Theory (RET) for public relations

2021

Expectations provide organizations with information and cues about their stakeholders’ and publics’ values, interests, experiences, and knowledge. This chapter argues for a move that takes expectations beyond the current cursory level for different areas of public relations—reputation management, corporate responsibility, issues management, and legitimacy—toward explicit theoretical understanding and models for addressing expectations. The chapter introduces expectations as an intersecting phenomenon in public relations research and builds postulations for theorizing expectations in public relations by reviewing theories that address expectations in relationships, and by exploring different…
