The role of parents' and teachers' beliefs in children's self-concept development
2016
This study examined to what extent parents' and teachers' beliefs about children's abilities predict children's self-concept of math and reading ability development during the first grade, and whether these predictions depend on the child's gender and level of performance. One hundred fifty-two children and their parents and teachers were followed across first grade. The results showed, first, that the associations between teachers' beliefs and children's subsequent self-concept of ability depended on the level of the children's performance. Among high-performers, the higher the teachers' beliefs about their students' abilities in reading or in math, the higher the subsequent level of self-…

2019
There has been increased interest in the relationships between religiosity, meditation practice and well-being, but there is lack of understanding as to how specific religious components and distinct meditation practices could influence different positive and negative psychological adjustment outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the explanatory power of religious beliefs and the practice of prayer, focused attention (FA), open monitoring (OM), and compassion meditation (CM) on psychological adjustment, taking into consideration a number of practice-related variables such as session length, frequency of practice and lifetime practice. Psychological adjustment was assessed by means o…
Translation and validation of the Finnish version of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ)
2015
Abstract Background and aim Low back pain (LBP) is a debilitating problem worldwide causing disability and reducing quality of life.

This study aimed to translate and validate the Finnish version of the FABQ and to measure its properties among Finnish patients with LBP. Material and methods A forward-backward translation procedure was used based on modified recommended guidelines. The FABQ was app…
Health and Demographic Characteristics of Patients Attending a Newly-Opened Medical Facility in a Remote Amazonian Community: A Descriptive Study
2018
Peru is a country with wide regional disparities in health. Remote Amazonian communities have high rates of poverty and poor access to health services. There is a lack of data on morbidity and use of health services in the region. We describe a descriptive, cross-sectional study of the demographic characteristics and presenting complaints of attendees to a newly-opened primary care facility in a remote community. This was supplemented by structured interviews of adult attendees to build a picture of sociocultural determinants of health locally, including engagement with traditional forms of medicine. Our study provides novel insights into an under-studied and under-resourced area. We found …

Kun tulevat englanninopettajat siirtyvät opinnoistaan työelämään, heitä tulee kohtamaan haastava työelämä, jossa heidän taitonsa ja osaamisensa opettajina tullaan punnitsemaan. Opettajankoulutuksessa luodut mielikuvat itsestä opettajana ja osaamisestaan opettajana ovat vahvoja suunnannäyttäjiä siinä, kuinka taitavia opettajia näistä tulevista englanninopettajista lopulta kehittyy ja kuinka hyvin he tulevat jaksamaan työssään. Lisäksi näihin käsityksiin omasta osaamisestaan ja sen kehittymiseen liittyvät opiskelijoiden omat tavoitteet omaan opettamiseensa. Näihin käsityksiin omasta osaamisestaan ja tavoitteisiin liittyy tieto opetettavasta aineesta, tieto oppilaista ja tieto siitä, kuinka ti…

2023
Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos 2-os klasės mokinių ir jų tėvų įsitikinimų apie lietuvių kalbos mokymąsi sąsajos su mokinių pasiekimais. Nustatyta, kad mokinių įsitikinimai apie savo gebėjimus, susidomėjimas lietuvių kalba, tėvų lūkesčiai bei 2-os klasės pasiekimai tarpusavyje siejasi teigiamais ryšiais. Kontroliuojant vaiko lytį, tėvų išsilavinimą bei 1-os klasės pasiekimus, geresnius pasiekimus 2-oje klasėje prognozuoja aukštesni tėvų lūkesčiai ir geresni vaikų savų gebėjimų vertinimai. Esminiai žodžiai: įsitikinimai apie gebėjimus, užduoties vertė, tėvų lūkesčiai, lietuvių kalbos pasiekimai. Previous studies have shown that as early as elementary school, children’s language skills are determine…
