Co-Development of Educational Aspirations and Academic Burnout from Adolescence to Adulthood in Finland
2017
The study followed 871 participants from age 17 to 25. Resources were related to lower cynical attitude towards studying and feelings of inadequacy, whereas demands were related to all three components of academic burnout. Family resources predicted higher educational aspirations. Co-development between educational aspirations and academic burnout showed that among those on the vocational track, the more exhaustion they felt, the higher their aspirations, which again increased their exhaustion. Among those on the academic track, the less cynicism they felt, the higher their aspirations which again decreased their cynicism. High aspirations positively and cynicism negatively predicted educat…
Obraz szkoły w aspiracjach edukacyjnych dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym

Dzieci wolne są od stereotypowego myślenia, wyposażone są w dar świeżości spojrzenia na świat, a elementy tego świata postrzegają w oryginalny i zaskakujący sposób.

The largest difference between the educational expectation groups was in mathematics. …

Worries about leadership among highly educated professionals: Associations with career aspirations and personal work goals.
 We investigated how highly educated professionals’ worries about leadership roles relate to their career aspirations and personal work goals. Altogether 1151 professionals without leadership positions participated in the survey study. Participants with a high number of leadership-related worries were not planning to pursue leadership positions. Instead, their goals included increasing personal well-being or ending their career. Vice versa, participants with least leadership-related worries strived for career advancement. These findings indicate that worries about…
What drives future business leaders? How work values and gender shape young adults' entrepreneurial and leadership aspirations
2018
Highlights • Work values strongly predict later entrepreneurial aspirations and leadership aspirations. • The pattern of relationships was similar but not identical for both aspirations. • There is a gender gap in both entrepreneurial aspirations and leadership aspirations. • Gender differences in work values contribute to the gender gap in these aspirations. Abstract Who wants to become a business leader? We investigated whether young adults' work values (i.e., the importance placed on different job characteristics and rewards) predict their entrepreneurial aspirations (i.e., the intention to create a venture) and leadership aspirations (i.e., the intention to become a leader in a business…
What drives future business leaders? How work values and gender shape young adults' entrepreneurial and leadership aspirations
2018
Who wants to become a business leader? We investigated whether young adults' work values (i.e., the importance placed on different job characteristics and rewards) predict their entrepreneurial aspirations (i.e., the intention to create a venture) and leadership aspirations (i.e., the intention to become a leader in a business context). Furthermore, we illuminated whether gender differences in work values contribute to the pervasive gender gap in these aspirations. Analyses in a sample of young adults from Finland (N = 1138) revealed that a higher importance placed on extrinsic rewards and a lower importance placed on security at age 21 predicted higher entrepreneurial and leadership aspira…
Externalizing behavior problems and interest in reading as predictors of later reading skills and educational aspirations
2017
This study examined the developments in children’s externalizing problems and interest in reading during their first four years of school (Grades 1–4) and investigated whether this development predicted the children’s Grade 6 reading skills and educational aspirations. Data comprised (1) teachers’ ratings of externalizing problems and children’s (N = 642; 43% girls) self-ratings of their interest in reading, collected between Grades 1 and 4, and (2) measures of reading fluency and comprehension, and children’s self-reports of educational aspirations, collected at Grade 6. First, latent growth modeling showed that a higher level of externalizing problems in Grade 1 was associated with a lowe…
Aspiracje edukacyjne i zawodowe oraz zamierzenia migracyjne młodzieży z województwa podkarpackiego w świetle badań empirycznych
2018
Artykuł prezentuje wyniki socjologicznych badań sondażowych nad dążeniami życiowymi młodzieży z województwa podkarpackiego w kontekście przyszłości tego regionu. Wśród młodzieży dominuje chęć nauki na studiach wyższych, w bardzo dobrym ośrodku akademickim z tradycjami. Młodzi ludzie oceniają również region jak tradycyjny i konserwatywny oraz mało postępowy. W związku z tym utrzymują się nadal wysokie skłonności migracyjne wśród młodzieży, zarówno wewnętrzne jak i zagraniczne, co zagraża harmonijnemu rozwojowi regionu w przyszłości. Natomiast Podkarpackie nie jest raczej zagrożone „pułapką niskiej dzietności", bowiem wśród młodzieży był popularny model rodziny tradycyjnej, z dwojgiem dzieci,…
Energy Drink Consumption Among Finnish Adolescents: Prevalence, Associated Background Factors, Individual Resources, and Family Factors.
