"Come on, Say Something, Dad!": Communication and Coping in Fathers of Diabetic Adolescents

2002

Objective: To investigate fathers’ coping and communication behavior in families with a healthy or a diabetic adolescent. Method: Fathers of diabetic adolescents and healthy adolescents (N 134) were investigated longitudinally with respect to their non-illness-specific coping behavior, their perceptions of family climate, and communicative behavior in solving a joint family task. Data were obtained through questionnaires and content analysis of recordings of verbal communication activity. Results: Based on questionnaire data, few differences were found between diabetic and healthy adolescents’ fathers’ styles of coping with non-illness-specific family problems over time. However, several si…

Attributional style in a case of Cotard delusion.

2007

Young and colleagues (e.g. Young, A. W., & Leafhead, K. M. (1996). Betwixt life and death: case studies of the Cotard delusion. In P. W. Halligan & J. C. Marshall (Eds.), Method in madness: Case studies in cognitive neuropsychiatry. Mahway, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.) have suggested that cases of the Cotard delusion (the belief that one is dead) result when a particular perceptual anomaly (caused by a disruption to the affective component of visual recognition) occurs in the context of an internalising attributional style. This hypothesis has not previously been tested directly. We report here an investigation of attributional style in a 24-year-old woman with Cotard delusion ("LU"). …

The Role of Motivation, Cognition, and Conscientiousness for Academic Achievement

2013

Based on a cognitive motivational process model of learning, the impact of studying behavior on learning outcome is investigated. First-year students ( N = 488) participated in the study. Two research questions were addressed: (1) Can cognitive-motivational variables and objective study behavior predict individual learning? (2) Which factors drive studying behavior? Results show low to moderate correlations between cognitive-motivational variables and performance. A cluster analysis yielded three profiles: (1) interested learners with high academic self-concept and effort investment; (2) low interest learners with high academic self-concept and low effort investment; and (3) interested lear…

Flexible Grouping as a Means for Classroom Management in a Heterogeneous Classroom

2011

This article concerns issues of classroom management in heterogeneous classrooms. Although research in the field of learning styles has yielded mixed results, there is a call for information about how they could be used to individualize instruction, especially in primary schools. This article is part of an ethnographic study aiming to examine teacher collaboration in a primary school and it draws strongly on field notes and on interviews with teachers. The intention was to discover how the two teachers in the classroom studied categorized pupils according to the learning styles model they had invented, and how the resulting groups were used for the purposes of classroom management. The stu…

A matter of perspective : the cognitive style Field Independence - dependence, and why it matters

2016

Psykologi Herman Witkin aloitti vuonna 1948 kognitiivista ajattelutapaa tutkivan suuntauksen, jossa ihmiset jaettiin kahteen ryhmään: kenttäriippuvaisiin ja kenttäriippumattomiin. Kenttäriippumattomuutta ja -riippuvaisuutta on tutkittu aina 2010 luvulle saakka. Kansainvälisiä tutkimustuloksia löytyy aiheeseen liittyen runsaastikin, mutta Suomessa aihetta ei ole juurikaan tutkittu soveltavan kielitieteen näkökulmasta. Tutkimukset kenttäriippuvaisuudesta ja -riippumattomuudesta antavat viitteitä siihen, että tällä kognitiivisen ajattelun mallilla saattaa olla suurikin vaikutus oppilaiden oppimismenestykseen. Kenttäriippumattomat oppilaat ovat aiempien tutkimusten mukaan itsenäisempiä, havaits…
