A basic need theory approach to problematic Internet use and the mediating effect of psychological distress
2015
The Internet provides an easily accessible way to meet certain needs. Over-reliance on it leads to problematic use, which studies show can be predicted by psychological distress. Self-determination theory proposes that we all have the basic need for autonomy, competency, and relatedness. This has been shown to explain the motivations behind problematic Internet use. This study hypothesizes that individuals who are psychologically disturbed because their basic needs are not being met are more vulnerable to becoming reliant on the Internet when they seek such needs satisfaction from online activities, and tests a model in which basic needs predict problematic Internet use, fully mediated by p…
A classification of motivation and behavior change techniques used in self-determination theory-based interventions in health contexts
2020
While evidence suggests that interventions based on self-determination theory have efficacy in motivating adoption and maintenance of health-related behaviors, and in promoting adaptive psychological outcomes, the motivational techniques that comprise the content of these interventions have not been comprehensively identified or described. The aim of the present study was to develop a classification system of the techniques that comprise self-determination theory interventions, with satisfaction of psychological needs as an organizing principle. Candidate techniques were identified through a comprehensive review of self-determination theory interventions and nomination by experts. The study…
Differential effects of perceptions of equal, favourable and unfavourable autonomy support on educational and well-being outcomes
2019
In this study, we examined whether high-school students experienced optimal educational and well-being outcomes when they perceived that they and their classmates received an equal, rather than unequal, and high amount of autonomy support from teachers. In a prospective study that aimed to predict academic grades and well-being outcomes, surface analyses of polynomial regression equations pointed that perceptions of equal autonomy support were the most optimal in terms of yielding highest levels of need satisfaction, autonomous forms of motivation and happiness with math courses. Additionally, in accordance with tenets of self-determination theory, we demonstrated that effects associated wi…
Distinguishing the Need to Belong and Sense of Belongingness: The Relation between Need to Belong and Personal Appraisals under Two Different Belongi…
2023
People are frequently caught in the hold between the need to belong and the fear of exclusion. However, these needs might be expressed differently under different belongingness conditions, where other powerful social processes are accentuated. Thus, the need to belong and social exclusion are concepts that are subjectively appraised based on one’s social relations. The present study aims to examine the relationship between the need to belong and five personal appraisals under two different belongingness conditions: (1) social-emotion support and (2) social-value representation. A total of 201 participants from two different groups were presented with 69 different items measuring five person…

2019
Background: Acne fulminans can leaveunsightly scars that can have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to function in society, resulting in a deterioration in the overall quality of life of these patients.

For people who suffer from acne fulminans, this is an extremely serious problem.This is compounded by the fact that even if they spend much of their life fighting acne, ultimately successfully, they still may be left with the visual effects of the disease, like scars.…

2016
Suomalainen työelämä on monilla aloilla kansainvälistynyt ja sen myötä työtekijöiden kielitarpeet ovat lisääntyneet. Erityisesti tieteellisen tutkimuksen tekeminen vaatii tekijältään laadun ylläpitämiseksi kansainvälistä yhteistyötä ja tutkijat työskentelevät usein tieteellisen tuotoksen julkaisemiseksi englannin kielellä. Euroopassa ja Suomessa, kuten muuallakin maailmassa, lingua franca–asemassa oleva englanti toimii tutkijayhteisöissä tieteellisen kanssakäymisen välineenä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa suomalaisten ympäristöalalla toimivien tutkijoiden englannin kielen käyttöön liittyviä tarpeita sekä verrata niitä heidän kielitaitoonsa. Vertailua käytettiin lähtökohtana…
