Positive corporate communication : the role of positive equity storytelling in non-regulated investor relations
2016
Tutkielmassa perehdyttiin positiivisen yritysviestinnän ja sijoittajatarinankerronnan rooliin vapaaehtoisessa, säätelystä vapaassa sijoittajaviestinnässä ja pohdittiin, löytyykö sijoittajille kohdistetuista vapaaehtoisista esityksistä positiivisen vuorovaikutuksen piirteitä kuten ihmisistä, osaamisesta, kulttuurista, arvoista ja monimuotoisuudesta viestimistä. Tutkielma pyrki selvittämään, missä muodoissa ja missä määrin positiivisuutta valitussa materiaalissa ilmenee. Empiirisessä osiossa analysoitiin OMX Nordic 40 -indeksiin kuuluvien pohjoismaisten yritysten viimeisimpien pääomamarkkinapäivien ja vastaavien sijoittajatapahtumien power point -esityksiä. Hyödyntäen aineistolähtöistä sisäll…
Cultural aspects in the interactions between Finnish medical practitioners and non-Finnish clients: perceptions and strategies

“Equally, but in our own way” : First-time parents’ prenatal expectations of coparenting
2022
This study examined the expectations of expectant first-time parents on coparenting in a Finnish two-parent family. Thirty expectant couples were individually interviewed (N = 60) during the third trimester of pregnancy. The semi-structured interviews focused on participants’ expectations and hopes on future coparenting. Thematic analysis revealed that the expectant first-time mothers and fathers saw coparenting as multidimensional. They talked about coparenting in terms of 1) division of labour issues, 2) management of family dynamics, 3) childrearing agreement, 4) coparental support, and 5) learning and developing. Thus, the expectant couples hoped for a coparenting relationship in which …
Expected Behavior and Strategic Sophistication in the Dictator Game
2012
This paper provides novel results for the extensive literature on dictator games: recipients do not expect dictators to behave selfishly, but instead expect the equal split division. The predictions made by dictators are notably different: 45% predicted the zero contribution and 40% the equal split. These results suggest that dictators and recipients are heterogenous with regard to their degree of strategic sophistication and identify the dictator's decision power in a very different manner.
Expectations as Reference Points: Field Evidence from Professional Soccer
2015
We show that professional soccer players and their coaches exhibit reference-dependent behavior during matches. Controlling for the state of the match and for unobserved heterogeneity, we show on a minute-by-minute basis that players breach the rules of the game, measured by the referee’s assignment of cards, significantly more often if their teams are behind the expected match outcome, measured by preplay betting odds of large professional bookmakers. We further show that coaches implement significantly more offensive substitutions if their teams are behind expectations. Both types of behaviors impair the expected ultimate match outcome of the team, which shows that our findings do not si…
Perception du risque dépendance et demande d'assurance : une analyse à partir de l'enquête PATER
2013
Dans la littérature économique, de nombreux travaux tentent d'expliquer pourquoi les individus s’assurent aussi peu contre la dépendance. Du côté de l’offre, différents freins possibles au développement du marché de l’assurance dépendance ont d’ores et déjà été pointés du doigt par la littérature. Les estimations récentes montrent néanmoins que les limites imputables à l’offre ne suffisent pas à expliquer le faible développement du marché : même si les assurances étaient moins coûteuses et les couvertures proposées plus larges, la majorité des individus ne souscrirait toujours pas d’assurance. Il est donc nécessaire d’aller trouver des explications du côté de la demande d’assurance dépendan…
Stakeholder expectations : conceptual foundations and empirical analysis
2015
Expectations are an inseparable part of interaction, whether in interpersonal, intragroup, or organization–stakeholder relations. As a concept, expectations appear frequently in the public relations literature, yet definitions are scarce or narrow. This thesis contributes to the conceptual and empirical understanding of expectations in the context of organization–stakeholder relations and, more specifically, studies how organizations translate their societal roles and how stakeholders form expectations of these roles. The theoretical framework is drawn from Scandinavian institutionalism and corporate responsibility as social connectedness that, first, places organization–stakeholder relatio…
La expectativa en la valoración del suelo
2015
La determinación de lo que debe entenderse por expectativa ha sido una ardua tarea a la que, necesariamente, se ha enfrentado la doctrina jurídica, en prácticamente la totalidad de las ramas del Derecho, puesto la figura de la expectativa no es exclusiva del Derecho Urbanístico, ni tampoco del Derecho Público en general; de este modo, aunque el urbanístico sea el campo en el que esta figura cobra todo su sentido, podamos encontrar referencias al término expectativa en muy distintos escenarios. Sin embargo, el uso excesivamente popular del término fuera del ámbito legal la ha convertido en una figura vulgar, tan vacía de sentido técnico que ha acabado por usarse de forma incorrecta y errónea…
Test-Taking Motivation in Education Students: Task Battery Order Affected Within-Test-Taker Effort and Importance
2020
Different types of tasks exist, including tasks for research purposes or exams assessing knowledge. According to expectation-value theory, tests are related to different levels of effort and importance within a test taker. Test-taking effort and importance in students decreased over the course of high-stakes tests or low-stakes-tests in research on test-taking motivation. However, whether test-order changes affect effort, importance, and response processes of education students have seldomly been experimentally examined. We aimed to examine changes in effort and importance resulting from variations in test battery order and their relations to response processes. We employed an experimental …
Genetics of longevity. Data from the studies on Sicilian centenarians
2012
Abstract The demographic and social changes of the past decades have determined improvements in public health and longevity. So, the number of centenarians is increasing as a worldwide phenomenon. Scientists have focused their attention on centenarians as optimal model to address the biological mechanisms of "successful and unsuccessful ageing". They are equipped to reach the extreme limits of human life span and, most importantly, to show relatively good health, being able to perform their routine daily life and to escape fatal age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Thus, particular attention has been centered on their genetic background and immune system. In thi…
