"Oh I'd definitely pronounce my 'th's in a job interview" : Irish university students' attitudes towards the effects of a strong Irish accent on the …

2016

Vaikka monessa englanninkielisessä maassa on tehty laajoja aksenttikartoituksia ja -tutkimuksia, Irlanti on jäänyt suhteellisen huomiotta tällä saralla. Suurin osa aksenttitutkimuksista Irlannissa on keskittynyt maan pääkaupunkiseudulle, eikä muualla maassa puhuttavaa englantia ole juuri tutkittu. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on määrittää irlanninenglannin eri aksentteihin kohdistuvia ennakkoasenteita analysoimalla tutkimuksen kohderyhmän omia asenteita ja kielenkäyttöä. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä toimivat irlantilaiset yliopisto-opiskelijat, ja kielenkäytön kontekstina kuvitteellinen työhaastattelu Irlannissa. Tutkimuskysymysten avulla pyrittiin selvittämään kokevatko opiskelijat työnhakij…

Upper secondary school students’ use of and attitudes to English tags within Finnish speech and writing

2010

 Kansainvälistymisen myötä englannin vahvistuva asema lingua francana näkyy myös Suomessa ja suomen kielessä: englanninkieliset nimet, iskulauseet, lainasanat ja muut anglismit ovat monelle jo niin jokapäiväinen asia, että moni ei edes huomaa käyttävänsä niitä. Osa suomalaisista on kuitenkin sitä mieltä, että tällainen kielten sekoittuminen ja vaihtelu köyhdyttävät suomea ja jopa uhkaavat sitä. Eräs kielikontaktin laji on koodinvaihto eli kahden tai useamman kielen käyttäminen keskustelussa. Se on edelleen jaoteltavissa sanojen tai lyhyiden huudahdusten lisäämiseen muutoin erikieliseen puheeseen tai tekstiin ( tag-switching ). Työssä tutkittiin tällaisten englanninkielisten tagien lisäämise…

Kako budući stručnjaci u sportu, tjelovježbi i tjelesnome odgoju percipiraju tjelesni izgled pretile djece

2010

Anti-fat bias has been previously identified amongst practising obesity health care specialists, physical education (PE) teachers and students of exercise science and PE in samples in the USA and New Zealand. The present research investigated the perceptions of the physical self of ‘fat’ versus ‘normal-weight’ children held by 167 students studying sport exercise and PE related programmes in higher education in England. Onesample t-tests identified that the sample held negative perceptions towards ‘fat’ children (identified by subscale mean scores that were significantly different from the subscale mean of 2.5 that would identify equivocal perception between ‘fat’ and ‘normal-weight’ childr…

Predicting COVID-19 booster vaccine intentions.

2022

Achieving broad immunity through vaccination is a cornerstone strategy for long-term management of COVID-19 infections, particularly the prevention of serious cases and hospitalizations. Evidence that vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time points to the need for COVID-19 booster vaccines, and maximum compliance is required to maintain population-level immunity. Little is known of the correlates of intentions to receive booster vaccines among previously vaccinated individuals. The present study applied an integrated model to examine effects of beliefs from multiple social cognition theories alongside sets of generalized, stable beliefs on individuals' booster vaccine intentions. US residen…

Online Hate Does Not Stay Online – How Implicit and Explicit Attitudes Mediate the Effect of Civil Negativity and Hate in User Comments on Prosocial …

2020

Abstract Incivility and hateful language in user comments are met with growing concern among politicians, the general public, and scholars. There are fears that such comments may decrease social cohesion and ultimately result in less prosocial behavior among citizens. We investigate whether hate, or even civil negativity in user comments alone, inhibit actual prosocial behavior through recipients’ explicit and implicit attitudes. In an online experiment, 253 participants read user comments (neutral, civil-negative, hateful) about refugees and received five Euros which they could donate for a refugee aid organization or keep for themselves. The results show that participants confronted with …

Sexual behaviors and function during menopausal transition—does menopausal hormonal therapy play a role?

2020

Objectives: The menopausal transition is a biological adaptation to the variety of life changes (body, comorbidities, relationship), but that biology is not an “end all” in the context of sexual function and overall sexual health. The aim of this study is to evaluate determinants altering the risk of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and other sexual problems and to establish whether menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) decreases that risk and modifies sexual behaviors. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in 210 women between the ages of 45 and 55. Two groups were identified: MHT users (n = 107) and controls—MHT non-users (n = 103). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of M…

Celebrity endorsement: influence of fan identification and brand collision on brand awareness and perceived value

2020

El deporte es un fenómeno social y económico en continua expansión, que contribuye a la prosperidad y la solidaridad en los países desarrollados (Aragonés, 2014). Ha sido reconocido por el Comité Olímpico Internacional como una herramienta para el fomento de la paz y las relaciones entre diferentes culturas. En relación a su vertiente económica, sobre la que se centra la presenta tesis doctoral, los ingresos generados fueron de 127 millones de euros en 2015, tal y como habían señalado las previsiones (PWC, 2011) y dio empleo a 1.700 millones de europeos en 2016 (Eurostat, 2018). Además, dada su pujanza y crecimiento en las últimas décadas, la industria del deporte ha sido objeto de interés …
