A person-oriented approach to sport and school burnout in adolescent student-athletes: The role of individual and parental expectations
2017
Abstract Objectives The present study aimed to examine what kind of burnout profiles exist among student-athletes based on their sport and school burnout symptoms. Moreover, it was investigated whether athletes' expectations of success in sport and school, on the one hand, and parental expectations, on the other hand, were predictors of the likelihood of the athlete to show a certain profile, after taking into account the effects of gender, grade point average, type of sport, and level of competition. Design and methods The participants were 391 student-athletes (51% females) from six different upper secondary sport schools in Finland, and 448 parents (58% mothers). The athletes filled in q…
The role of individual and parental expectations in student-athletes’ career adaptability profiles
2022
To support holistic development, adolescent student-athletes are encouraged to integrate sport with education/academics (i.e., dual careers). Career adaptability, as a psychological resource, may help youth athletes cope with transitions and successfully manage their careers. Individuals with a plan and higher expectations for the future demonstrate higher career adaptability and are better prepared for the future. In the present study, we examined what kinds of distinct career adaptability profiles could be identified among youth athletes in Finland at the transition stage to a sports high school (i.e., specialized school for athletes). Moreover, we investigated whether youth athletes’ suc…
Participants' outcome expectations and changes in well-being and ill-being in mindfulness based intervention for burnout
2015
Tietoisuustaitopohjaisten interventioiden tuloksellisuudesta työuupumuksen hoidossa Suomessa on vielä vähän tutkimustietoa. Hoitoa koskevien odotusten yhteyttä hoidon tuloksellisuuteen tietoisuustaitopohjaisissa interventioissa on myös tutkittu vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarkastella tietoisuustaito-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaiseen menetelmään perustuvaan ja työuupumuksen hoitoon tarkoitettuun Muupu-interventioon osallistuneiden (n = 88) psyykkisen hyvinvoinnin ja työpahoinvoinnin muutoksia sekä hoitoa koskevien odotusten yhteyttä näihin muutoksiin. Itsearvioitua psyykkisen hyvinvoinnin muutosta mitattiin emotionaalisen-, psykologisen- ja sosiaalisen hyvinvoinnin mittareilla. …
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…

“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…
