Associations of physical performance and physical activity with mental well-being in middle-aged women
2021
Abstract Background To investigate whether physical performance is independently of physical activity (PA) associated with positive and negative dimensions of mental well-being in middle-aged women. Methods Data were drawn from the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study in which women 47 to 55 years were randomly selected from the Finnish National Registry. They (n = 909) participated in measurements of physical performance (handgrip force, knee extension force, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and six-minute walking distance). Both mental well-being (the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule…
Saada kaikki ja olla onnellinen : äitiyrittäjyys tuottavuuden ja affektien aikakaudella
2021
Artikkelissa tutkin uusliberaalin postfeminismin kehyksen läpi työntekijyyden ja äitiyden ristiriitaisuuksia ja ratkaisuyrityksiä. Empiirisenä kohteena on äitiyrittäjyysilmiö. Siinä on kyse yrittäjyydestä, joka on rinnakkaista tai alisteista naisen äitiroolille. Äitiyrittäjyydellä pyritään "saamaan kaikki": ratkaisemaan tuottavaan työhön kutsuvan ja intensiivistä äidinhoivaa korostavan ideologian välinen affektiivinen hankaus tavalla, joka toisi mukanaan onnen ja tasapainon tunteen. Artikkelin 21 yrittäjämuotoisesti esimerkiksi media- ja käsityöaloilla, työskentelevän idin haastattelukerronnan analyysi osoittaa, että äideillä on paljonkin työhön liittyviä tavoitteita, mutta niiden rinnalla …
Towards Natural Engagement in Nonexhibitional Dramatic Role-Plays
2003
Modern language teaching and drama have long had a tenuous relationship. Foreign/second language teaching (F/SLT) and Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) instruction often mistakenly associate drama with learning games and role-play simulations. However, these remedial activities, though useful, offer only limited opportunities for natural speech interaction. This article argues that, as a natural dialogical process of cognitive and affective involvement, nonexhibitional dramatic role-play generates authentic meaning through action and personal commitment.

Music as mood regulation in adolescence
2007
Suvi Saarikallio selvitti tutkimuksessaan musiikin psykologisia merkityksiä ja musiikin käyttöä tunteiden säätelynä nuorten arkielämässä. Musiikki on nykypäivänä olennainen osa nuoruutta. Saarikallio halusi lisätä ymmärrystä musiikin roolista osana nuorten kehitystä, psyykkistä itsesäätelyä ja tunteiden hallintaa.Musiikki on nuorille monipuolinen tunteiden säätelyn keino. Saarikallio määritteli seitsemän musiikin avulla tehtävän tunteiden säätelyn strategiaa: viihdyke, elpyminen, elämykset, irtautuminen, purkaminen, mielikuvatyöskentely ja lohtu.Tunteiden säätelyn näkökulmasta merkittävimmäksi musiikilliseksi toiminnaksi osoittautui musiikin kuuntelu. Musiikin käyttö tunteiden säätelyssä ol…
The Relationship Between the Burnout Syndrome Dimensions and Body Mass Index as a Moderator Variable on Obese Managers in the Mexican Maquiladora Ind…
2021
Burnout syndrome (BS) and obesity are two growing conditions that affect employees’ health and company productivity. Recently, several studies have pointed to a possible relationship between both phenomena. However, such a relationship has not been clearly defined. This research analyzes the relationship between BS dimensions and body mass index (BMI), the latter being treated as a moderator variable among obese senior and middle managers in the Mexican maquiladora industry through a structural equation model. A total of 361 senior and middle managers (124 of them classified as obese under the World Health Organization’s criteria) completed both the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey …
Cyclists' Perception of Maintenance and Operation of Cycling Infrastructure—Results From a Norwegian Survey
2021
Aasvik O and Bjørnskau T (2021) Cyclists’ Perception of Maintenance and Operation of Cycling Infrastructure—Results From a Norwegian Survey. Front. Psychol. 12:696317. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.696317 The Norwegian authorities want to limit the extent of car use in city areas to existing levels. Such a limitation would help combat climate change, improve health of citizens, and alleviate congestion. This implies that any further increase in transport needs will have to be met by walking, cycling and use of public transport. Reaching this ambitious goal requires knowledge about cyclists' preferences concerning operation and maintenance (M&O) of roads and foot/cycle paths. Previous research sug…
The Associations Between Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Academic Performance: A Twin Study
2021
Background: Both genetic and environmental influences have been shown to contribute to the association between physical activity and overall academic performance. The authors examined whether leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) shares genetic and environmental variances between spelling, essay writing, reading aloud, reading comprehension, and mathematics in early adolescence. Moreover, they investigated whether genetic polymorphisms associated with physical activity behavior affect these academic skills. Methods: Participants were 12-year-old Finnish twins (n = 4356–4370 twins/academic skill, 49% girls). Academic skills were assessed by teachers, and LTPA was self-reported. Polygenic sco…
Course Satisfaction in Engineering Education Through the Lens of Student Agency Analytics
2020
This Research Full Paper presents an examination of the relationships between course satisfaction and student agency resources in engineering education. Satisfaction experienced in learning is known to benefit the students in many ways. However, the varying significance of the different factors of course satisfaction is not entirely clear. We used a validated questionnaire instrument, exploratory statistics, and supervised machine learning to examine how the different factors of student agency affect course satisfaction among engineering students (N = 293). Teacher’s support and trust for the teacher were identified as both important and critical factors concerning experienced course satisf…
