Self-regulatory efficacy and sources of efficacy in elementary school pupils: Self-regulatory experiences in a population sample and pupils with atte…
2019
In this study, we examined self-regulatory efficacy and sources of self-efficacy (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion and physiological/emotional states) and the relationships between self-efficacy and its sources among elementary school pupils. Two groups were compared: a population sample (PS, N = 1284) and pupils with difficulties in attention and executive functions (AED, N = 61). Data gathered from self-report questionnaires indicated that pupils in the PS group had more positive efficacy beliefs and mastery experiences and fewer negative physiological/emotional states than the AED group. Analyses showed strong connections between sources and self-regulatory e…
Current L2 self-concept of Finnish comprehensive school students : The role of grades, parents, peers, and society
2021
L2 (second/foreign language) motivation research in Finland has been scarce. Furthermore, international motivational research has focused more on ideal and ought-to selves, leaving the current L2 self-concept in the background. In the present study, we attempted to address this gap, exploring what shapes L1 (mother tongue) Finnish students' understanding of themselves as users and learners of L2s. Using structural equation modelling, we studied the relationships between students' (n = 1206) current L2 self-concept and parental encouragement, peer pressure, societal expectations, and grades. We further studied which of these factors are the best predictors of students' current L2 self-concep…
Motivation to learn English : a case study of a 7th grade class
2017
Motivaatiota ja sen vaikutusta kielen oppimiseen on tutkittu laajalti. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää 7. luokkalaisten opiskelumotivaatiota, kun he ovat aloittaneet yläkoulun uudessa koulussa, uudessa luokassa ja uuden opettajan kanssa. Keskeisenä kysymyksenä on: Mikä saa 7. luokkalaisen ymmärtämään motivaation merkityksen englannin kielen opiskelussa? Tämä tutkimus keskittyy oppilaiden narratiivisiin kirjoitelmiin, jossa he tuovat esiin omia näkökulmiaan ja ajatuksiaan oppimiseen motivoivista tekijöistä sekä oppimisen motivaatiota heikentävistä tekijöistä. Tutkimus toteutettiin narratiivisten kirjoitelmien avulla tapaustutkimuksena. Tutkimukseen osallistui oppilaita vain yhde…
The associations of quantitative/qualitative job insecurity and well-being: The role of self-esteem.
2019
Job insecurity is recognized as one of the most prominent job stressors for employees. Despite decades of research, the concurrent examination of both quantitative (i.e. perceived threat of job loss) and qualitative (i.e., perceived threat of losing some job features) job insecurity and the analysis of their different relationships with well-being at work have received relatively scarce attention. This study examined a moderated mediation model of the relationship between quantitative job insecurity and well-being at work. In doing so, the focus was on the mediating effects of qualitative job insecurity and the moderating effects of self-esteem in the abovementioned relationships. Drawing f…

Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased. The current study aims to assess the differences in fear of COVID-19, anxiety, neuroticism, and general self-efficacy between university students who practiced PA during the second wave of lockdown and those who did not practice any PA. Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …
Referee efficacy in the context of Norwegian soccer referees – A meaningful construct?
2018
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was two-fold. Firstly, to examine the measurement/factorial validity and invariance of the Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (REFS) among Norwegian soccer referees. Secondly, extending scale validation, we also tested a structural model in which a second-order version of the REFS was modelled to mediate a set of theoretically informed antecedents and outcomes. Design Cross-sectional. Method One hundred and eleven Norwegian elite referees and 81 non-elite referees completed an electronic questionnaire measuring expected antecedents and outcomes of perceived self-efficacy in the role as referees. Results Analyses provided support for the first – and sec…
Una vida en imágenes: los daily photo projects y la retórica del instante
2009
Los daily photo projects son una práctica contemporánea que consiste en tomar una fotografía digital diaria de sus protagonistas hasta el día de su muerte. Las imágenes son ensambladas en un video que, de este modo, concentra sus vidas en minutos. Una vida entera es visualizada como si fuera una secuencia de instantes, de instantáneas. Son alegorías de la vida que muestran el proceso de envejecimiento a modo de espejo, lanzando una nueva mirada al tópico de la vanitas y del autorretrato. El montaje en video es lo que convierte a estos proyectos en vanitas en movimiento ya que la secuencia de fotografías muestra el proceso de envejecimiento. Daily photo projects are contemporary photographic…

The Effects of General and Mobile Online Shopping Skilfulness and Multichannel Self-Efficacy on Consumer Showrooming Behaviour
2022
Although showrooming behaviour is a characteristic aspect of modern omnichannel retailing, our understanding of its antecedents remains limited. In this study, we aim to address this gap in prior research by examining how showrooming behaviour is affected by three different kinds of perceived consumer capabilities: general online shopping skilfulness, mobile online shopping skilfulness, and multichannel self-efficacy. The examination is done by utilising data from 1,024 Finnish consumers, which was collected with an online survey in 2021 and is analysed with structural equation modelling (SEM). In summary, we find mobile online shopping skilfulness to have a strong positive effect on showro…
