Catarsi ed Ethos. La musica tra formazione del carattere e cura dei mali nella Grecia antica
2022
Nella Grecia antica la musica è presenza costante e riguarda tutti gli aspetti del sapere. L’idea di un influsso esercitato sull’uomo, e persino sulla sua salute, trova espressione nella nozione di catarsi e nella dottrina dell’ethos, secondo cui la musica esplica un’azione psicagogica in base alle harmoníai («scale musicali») seguite dalle composizioni, e agli strumenti usati. A partire dai riti, la catarsi entra nella riflessione di Platone e di Aristotele. Nel De musica di Aristide Quintiliano, l’analisi della capacità della musica di influire sull’anima si affianca alla speculazione sulle harmoníai e apre la strada alla comprensione del suo influsso sull’indagine medica, definendo nel c…
The Effect of Smartphone-Based Cognitive Training on the Functional/Cognitive Markers of Schizophrenia: A One-Year Randomized Study
2020
Background: Cognitive impairment is associated with long-term disability that results in the deterioration of both the social and professional status of individuals with schizophrenia. The impact of antipsychotic therapy on cognitive function is insufficient. Cognitive training is therefore proposed as a tool for cognitive rehabilitation in schizophrenia. In this study we investigated the effect of self-administered cognitive training using a smartphone-based application on the cognitive function of paranoid schizophrenia patients focusing on response time, correct answer rate, incorrect answer rate, and fatigability to check, if these functions can be functional markers of successful cogni…
Om dere vil høre hvordan jeg har det? : en litteraturstudie som omhandler barns opplevelse av alvorlige foreldrekonflikter og hva som kan bidra til å…
2016
Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2016 The purpose of this thesis is to convey knowledge about how children experience serious parental conflicts and how to decrease the negative impact these conflicts has on the children involved. A literature review has been chosen as the scientific method while working with this study. A comprehensive search in different scientific databases has been performed, in a process in which English words have been used. This study is an integrative review where a combination of different approaches allow me to summarize empirical and theoretical literature into comprehensive knowledge about a phenomenon. The theoretical perspectives…
Parenthood and changes in physical activity from early adulthood to mid‐life among Finnish adults
2022
This study examined longitudinal associations between parenthood-related factors and physical activity from young adulthood to midlife over a 19-year follow-up period. Participants (n=761) at the ongoing Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study responded to a self-report questionnaire in their adulthood (in 1992, 2001, 2007 and 2011). Participants were classified as meeting or not meeting an aerobic physical activity recommendation. Parenthood related factors included the age of having their first child, as well as the number and age of the children. Analyses of Generalized Estimation Equations were performed and adjusted for several demographic and health-related covariates. Both mothers a…

Psychometric properties of the Assessment Tool for Perceived Agency (ATPA-22) - utility for the rehabilitation of young adults not in education, empl…
2020
Background: Promoting and supporting agency have been at the heart of the debate multidisciplinary. To promote self-awareness of young people’s agency and identify persons in need of support the Assessment Tool for Perceived Agency (ATPA-22) was developed. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the ATPA-22. Participants were young adults not in education, employment or training (NEETs) and students in higher education (HEI). Materials and methods: The main data analysis was implemented by Many Faceted Rasch (MFR) analysis. Results: The ATPA-22 items defined a unidimensional construct with reasonable internal consistency and separation ability. The ATPA-22 was capabl…
Predicting running performance and adaptations from intervals at maximal sustainable effort
2023
This study examined the predictive quality of intervals performed at maximal sustainable effort to predict 3-km and 10-km running times. In addition, changes in interval performance and associated changes in running performance were investigated. Either 6-week (10-km group, n = 29) or 2-week (3-km group, n = 16) interval training periods were performed by recreational runners. A linear model was created for both groups based on the running speed of the first 6x3-min interval session and the test run of the preceding week (T1). The accuracy of the model was tested with the running speed of the last interval session and the test run after the training period (T2). Pearson correlation was used…
Usage activity, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction in a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program among Finnish ninth-grade adolescents.
2020
Understanding adolescent usage activity and experiences in web-based psychological intervention programs helps in developing universal programs that can be adopted for promotion of adolescent well-being and prevention of mental health problems. This study examined the usage activity, perceived usefulness (i.e., learning of mindfulness, acceptance and value-related skills), and program satisfaction of 157 Finnish ninth-grade adolescents, who participated in a school-based five-week universal acceptance and commitment therapy web intervention called Youth Compass. Individual and growth environment-related antecedents were measured before the five-week intervention, adolescents' usage activity…
The micro-macro link in understanding sport tactical behaviours: Integrating information and action at different levels of system analysis in sport
2015
Les liens micro-macroscopiques sont centraux dans les sciences du mouvement humain dans la mesure ou ils correspondent aux coordinations et aux echelonnages des comportements moteurs a differents niveaux d’analyse des systemes complexes. Cet aspect de la complexite est un point cle permettant de considerer decision et action comme un comportement de transition a differents niveaux lors de la realisation d’une performance. Les transitions exprimees en termes de bifurcations sont une part importante du mecanisme universel de decision. Les transitions de phase fournissent aussi un moyen de comprendre les liens micro-macro. Dans cet article de synthese, nous developpons un point de vue qui expl…
The micro-macro link in understanding sport tactical behaviours: Integrating information and action at different levels of system analysis in sport
2015
The micro-macro link is a central issue of human movement sciences because it directly refers to coordination and scalability of movement behaviour at different levels of analysis in a complex system. This feature of complexity is a key feature to consider decisions and actions as transitional behaviours at different levels during performance. Transitions expressed through bifurcations are an important part of a universal decisionmaking process. Here we explain how individuals perform decision-making behaviours in a minimal social performance unit ( competing dyads), and how these two levels are linked in a sports team. Finally we discuss some applications of the micro-macro links for the d…
