Adaptation and validation of the Victim-Blaming Attitudes in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women (VB-IPVAW) Scale in Ecuadorian populati…
2021
Resumen La violencia de pareja contra la mujer (VPM) constituye un grave problema de salud pública con importantes consecuencias para la salud física y psicológica de las mujeres. Las ac titudes de culpabilización de la víctima pueden contribuir a crear un clima de aceptación social en el que la VPM se perciba como una conducta normativa, influyendo en las respuestas de los individuos, comunidades, e instituciones frente a este problema. Ecuador es uno de los países de Latinoamérica donde la prevalencia de VPM es más alta, y las investigaciones sobre esta temática son todavía escasas. El objetivo de este estudio es adaptar y validar la Escala Española de Actitudes de Culpabilización de la V…
Attitude Function as a Moderator in Values-Attitudes-Behavior Relations
2011
Abstract The aim of the present study was to find whether attitude functions could be useful in predicting aberrant driving. One of the attitudes functions is to express values; hence, we hypothesized that attitudes whose function is to express values will better predict traffic violations. We explored: (i) values in relation to attitudes towards aberrant driving behavior by regression analysis; (ii) and we explored moderating role of attitude functions in value-attitude-behavior relations. The study sample included 305 respondents who completed self-report questionnaires. Current research confirms previous results and also shows that values do predict attitudes when individual had formed h…
Attitudes toward sad music are related to both preferential and contextual strategies.
2015
Music-related sadness and its paradoxical pleasurable aspects have puzzled researchers for decades. Previous studies have highlighted the positive effects of listening to sad music and the listening strategies that focus on mood-regulation. The present study explored people’s attitudes toward sad music by focusing on a representative sample of the Finnish population. Three hundred and fifty-eight participants rated their agreement with 30 statements concerning attitudes toward sad music. The ratings were subjected to factor analysis, resulting in 6 factors explaining 51% of the variance (RMSEA = 0.049). The factors were labeled Avoidance, Autobiographical, Revival, Appreciation, Intersubjec…
Consumers' attitudes toward mobile advertising : a rhetorical approach
2015
Mobile advertising adoption has not been as rapid as it could have been, even though the techniques for its full exploitation have existed for years. Understanding consumers’ attitudes toward the phenomenon is crucial in order to enhance the situation. The purpose of this research was to examine young consumers’ perceptions about mobile advertising in order to clarify what type of meanings they give to the phenomenon, what kind of argumentation means are found and in which contexts it is evaluated positive or negative. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the principals of rhetorical social psychology (Billig 1987/1996). The data of this study was gathered by using the met…
The valuable textbooks : a study on relationship values and attitudes in an EFL-textbook series
2010
Yksi yleissivistävän koulun tavoitteista on opettaa oppijoille arvoja ja asenteita. Nämä arvot ja asenteet näkyvät muun muassa opetussuunnitelmassa ja sitä myöten myös opetuskäytänteissä ja oppikirjoissa. Oppikirjatekstien välittämät arvot ja asenteet eivät ole kuitenkaan peräisin yksinomaan opetussuunnitelmassa lausutuista tavoitteista, vaan myös oppikirjantekijöiden maailmankuvat vaikuttavat niihin – joko tietoisesti tai tiedostamatta – teksteihin valittujen näkökulmien ja kielenkäytön kautta. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin millä tavoin lukion englannin oppikirjatekstit käsittelevät ja kuvaavat eri parisuhdemuotoja ja mitkä parisuhdearvot ja -asenteet vaikuttavat tekstien taustalla. Tut…

The N-bomb : A study of attitudes towards English and Finnish terms that refer to black people
2009
Sanoilla on kahdenlaista merkitystä: konnotatiivinen ja konseptuaalinen. Tässä tutkimuksessa keskitytään ensimmäiseen. Konnotatiivinen merkitys tarkoittaa niitä asioita, jotka assosioidaan sanoihin. Esimerkiksi, henkilö saattaa assosioida kipua sanaan piikki . Konnotaatiot ovat pragmaattisia. Ne tulevat esiin sanan merkityksen sanakirjatietämyksen lisäksi myös kokemuksista, uskomuksista sekä ennakkoluuloista kontekstia kohtaan, missä termi yleensä ilmenee. Joskus väärinymmärrykset johtavat siihen, että sanaa käytetään väärin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, minkälaisia konnotaatioita ihmiset liittävät tummaihoisiin ihmisiin viittaaviin sanoihin. Tätä varten on valittu 10 sana…
Attitudes toward and motivation for PE: who collects the benefits of the subject?
2014
Background and purpose: Due to attitudinal and motivational aims in the national curriculum, and to lack of research on adolescents' experiences with physical education (PE) in Norway, the purposes of this study were to (1) attain data on attitudes toward PE and self-determined motivation for PE among a representative sample of adolescents (N = 2010) in middle school (grade 8–10/age 13–15) and high school (grade 11–13/age 16–19) in Norway, and (2) to explore the relationship between involvement in movement activities outside school and self-determined motivation in PE. Findings: The results showed that 43% of the adolescents were not happy with how PE is taught in Norwegian schools, and tha…
Efficacy of Ethics Education in Library and Information Science
2022
This work explains the need to adapt the content of ethics training programs in library and information science (LIS) studies to two fundamental aspects: the future professional requirements of students and the beliefs of the students in this field of study. A purely qualitative investigative strategy, including the use of vignettes, was employed to demonstrate that a theoretical-practical methodology of teaching-learning, supported by a combination of ethics theories and a model of ethical reasoning, changes the attitude of students, adapting individual and professional ethical values for the future exercise of the profession.
