Indigenous education in Russia : opportunities for healing and revival of the Mari and Karelian Indigenous groups?
2020
Despite being a multicultural country throughout its history, the Russian Federation has long struggled to embrace its diversity. As a result, the country’s many cultural, religious, and ethnic minority groups have been going through waves of assimilationist policies and practices. Assimilation into the Russian society enforced through formal schooling, daily life, and mass media has led to a destruction of Indigenous lifestyles, cultures, identities, and languages. This article explores the views of Russia’s Indigenous people regarding the country’s education system and its ability to support the cultural revival of Indigenous groups as well as the healing of the trauma that emerged from h…
Parental and Infant Gender Factors in Parent-Infant Interaction: State-Space Dynamic Analysis.
2017
This study aimed to investigate the influence of parental gender on their interaction with their infants, considering, as well, the role of the infant’s gender. The State Space Grid (SSG) method, a graphical tool based on the non-linear dynamic system (NDS) approach was used to analyze the interaction, in Free-Play setting, of 52 infants, aged 6 to 10 months, divided into two groups: half of the infants interacted with their fathers and half with their mothers. There were 50% boys in each group. MANOVA results showed no differential parenting of boys and girls. Additionally, mothers and fathers showed no differences in the Diversity of behavioral dyadic states nor in Predictability. However…
Association Between Group Identification at School and Positive Youth Development: Moderating Role of Rural and Urban Contexts.
2020
These studies are framed within Social Identity Theory and the Positive Youth Development approach. The aim is: (1) to analyze the relationship between group identification at school and key positive development variables (such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, assertiveness, empathy, alexithymia, satisfaction with life, and academic performance); and (2) examine the moderator role of context (rural or urban areas of residence) and sex in these relationships. The samples were composed of 246 adolescents from a rural context (Study 1) and 156 students from rural and urban contexts (Study 2). As proposed in our hypotheses, the results show statistically significant relationships between group id…
We are the people and you are fake news: a social identity approach to populist citizens’ false consensus and hostile media perceptions
2018
This study aims to investigate the relationships between citizens’ populist attitudes, perceptions of public opinion, and perceptions of mainstream news media. Relying on social identity theory as an explanatory framework, this article argues that populist citizens assume that public opinion is congruent with their own opinion and that mainstream media reporting is hostile toward their own views. To date, only anecdotal evidence suggests that both assumptions are true. The relationships are investigated in a cross-sectional survey with samples drawn from four Western European countries ( N = 3,354). Multigroup regression analysis supports our hypotheses: False consensus and hostile media p…
Associated factors to psychiatric morbidity in postmenopausal phases.
1998
Abstract Background: The greatest risk of psychiatric morbidity during the climacteric years is linked to a greater exposure to stressful life experiences, women's dissatisfaction with their role in society and to an absence of social backup. The question to be posed now is the extent to which the longitudinal surveys can confirm, refute or complement the results of the cross-sectional analyses. Methods: A study involving population-based cohorts was carried out on a sample of 120 women who had been previously identified as being premenopausal or menopausal during a cross-sectional examination conducted between 1987 and 1988 within the city of Valencia (Spain). The aims were to analyze the …

Malinteso e conflitto: il sottile confine tra negoziare e agire
2014
"Misunderstanding" originates from the comunicative difficulties that arise between two people or groups due to linguistic or cultural issues, and stems from the difficulties produced by the difference between the subjects involved in a relationship. A peculiarity of misunderstanding is the anticipation of a possible resolution. This allows us to keep the relationship in a suspended state, preserving its progression while waiting for clarification or separation. By contrast, in a conflictual situation, both partners are engaged in a long-lasting relationship, which transforms the contenders' nature itself. Indeed, both the parties involved in a conflict shape themselves in a reciprocal rela…
Viittomakielisten nuorten aikuisten käsityksiä kaksikielisyydestään
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka viittomakielisten nuorten aikuisten kaksikielisyyttä on heidän lapsuudessaan ja nuoruudessaan tuettu (vai onko tuettu lainkaan?) ja minkälaisia vaikutuksia tällä on heidän multimodaalisen kaksikielisyyden käsitykseen tutkimushetkellä. Tarkoituksena oli tarkastella aihetta kielen käytön sekä kulttuuriin identifioitumisen näkökulmasta. Tutkimuskysymykset ovat: Millainen käsitys viittomakielisillä nuorilla aikuisilla on kaksikielisyydestään ja kaksikulttuurisuudestaan? Miten viittomakielisten nuorten aikuisten kaksikielisyyden kehittymistä on heidän omasta mielestään tuettu? Miten viittomakieliset nuoret aikuiset toivoisivat lasten kaksikieli…
Trust and team identification at multicultural workplaces : perceptions of Finnish HR professionals
2017
Growing global mobility has rapidly diversified workplace demographics across the world. Finland that has traditionally been considered a relatively uniform nation in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity has also experienced a shift in its population in recent decades. Despite the growing multiculturalism, established diversity management practices are yet to be developed in many Finnish organizations, and the subject has not gained much academic attention either. Still, competent intercultural leaders are often vital for both successful business results and for the well-being of their multicultural teams. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the current state of international human…
