Vanhempien ja kavereiden tuen yhteys nuoruusiän fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen
2017
Nuorten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen vaikuttavien tekijöiden tunteminen on perusteltua paitsi nuoruusiän terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin tukemiseksi niin myös yleisemmin kansanterveydellisistä syistä. Tutkimusten mukaan sekä vanhemmat että kaverit vaikuttavat monin eri tavoin lasten ja nuorten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen ja liikuntaan sosiaalistumiseen. Monen nuoren kohdalla liikunnan harrastaminen hiipuu murrosiässä, mutta sosiaalinen tuki näyttäisi olevan yksi fyysistä aktiivisuutta ylläpitävistä tekijöistä. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, miten vanhempien ja kavereiden tuki ovat yhteydessä nuoren fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen viides-, seitsemäs- ja yhdeksäsluokkalaisilla (n=2764). Tutkimus perustuu kyse…
L'amicizia adolescenziale nella prospettiva delle scienze dell'educazione
2008
L'amicizia è esperienza ricorrente nella vita di molti ragazzi e di molte ragazze che sentono l'urgenza di conferire un senso di unità a tutti gli ambiti della loro esistenza personale, spesso frammentati e disconnessi tra loro. Questa mancanza di unità, che attesta un bisogno di orientamento, sembra essere il "problema fondamentale" dell'adolescente di oggi e, al contempo, la "situazione personale" in cui egli vede la difficoltà e sente la fatica di gestire il suo mondo interiore. La psicologia e la sociologia sanno cogliere le forme autentiche di amicizia che evolvono conformemente allo sviluppo morale, e attestarne al contempo l'esigenza di cura da parte degli educatori. La pedagogia con…
La crise d’amitié à deux voix: Nathalie Sarraute et Yasmina Reza
2017
The consideration of the friendship crisis occurring between adult men is based on two contemporary French plays: Pour un oui ou pour un non by Nathalie Sarraute (1982) and Art by Yasmina Reza (1994). In both cases, the reason for breaking off the friendly relation was a spontaneous reaction of one friend who judged, hurt and humiliated the other. This proved the first persons will to dominate the other and to subordinate him. All attempts of negotiation failed. The two plays’ texts have been com pared with the ideas of sociologists and philosophers describing hum an relations in the contemporary world, such as Zygmunt Bauman, Edgar Morin and Pierre Bourdieu.
Lessons learned on student engagement from the nature of pervasive socio‐digital interests and related network participation of adolescents
2021
The rise of modern socio-digital technologies has fundamentally changed the everyday environments in which young people communicate with each other and cultivate interests. To gain a more sophisticated understanding of this phenomenon, this study provides in-depth, qualitative insights into adolescents’ experiences of their socio-digital developmental ecologies. The 15 interview participants were recruited based on a previously conducted questionnaire. The semi-structured theme interview addressed the socio-digital aspects of the participants’ interest-driven behaviours and related networks with the aid of participant-generated egocentric maps. The data not only qualitatively enrich the pic…
Afectividad y promoción de la salud en la escuela: construcción de significados por el maestro
2016
Objective: To understand affectivity and health promotion at school through the construction of meanings by the teachers. Methods: The present exploratory and descriptive study was conducted based on a qualitative approach using affective maps and semi-structured interviews as tools for data collection. Affective maps transcend the duality between cognition, affect and spatial representations because, within this context, any environment can be seen as an emotional territory. The interviews aimed to investigate which health promoting actions each teacher has participated in, their perceptions regarding them, which affects emerge when carrying out the actions suggested by the school and how …
Best Friends Forever? Modeling the Mechanisms of Friendship Network Formation
2020
The formation of friendships and alliances is a ubiquitous feature of human life, and likely a crucial component of the cooperative hunting and child-rearing practices that helped our early hominin ancestors survive. Research on contemporary human beings typically finds that strong-tie social networks are fairly small, and reveals a high degree of physical (e.g., age) and social-structural (e.g., educational attainment) homophily. Yet, existing work all too often underestimates, or even ignores, the importance of abstract, symbolic homophily (such as shared identities or worldviews) as a driver of friendship formation. Here we employ agent-based modeling to identify the optimal variable wei…
“Being together in the locker room is great, but showering together – just forget it!” The Janus Face of the Wardrobe Practice in Physical Education
2017
The aim of this study is to examine the wardrobe context among students in physical education (PE) in lower secondary school and describe their various experiences of the atmosphere in the locker room and their showering habits. 16 semi structured in-depth interviews with eight boys and eight girls, all aged 15, in the 10th grade (third and final year of lower secondary school) were conducted to grasp some of the ongoing interactions between students and the context of the wardrobe practice before and after PE lessons. The planning of the interviews is grounded in a variety of topics such as the class environment, the influence of teacher behavior, self-evaluation, and the role of social me…
Best friends in adolescence show similar educational careers in early adulthood
2012
The present study investigated the role of best friends in educational career development from adolescence to adulthood. Participants' (N = 476) reciprocal best friendships were identified at age 15, while their educational attainment was investigated in early adulthood (age 26), their intelligence (IQ) at age 13, and parental education, educational expectations and academic achievement at age 16. The results revealed that adolescent best friends ended up pursuing similar educational careers in adulthood. Furthermore, three kinds of partner-effects were found when adolescents' prior career behaviors were controlled for: (1) best friends' intelligence predicted adolescents' later academic pe…
Explosive Self-Confident Femininity: Experienced and Remembered Girl Energy
2017
This chapter focuses on how the target group of the 1990s girl power phenomenon made meaning of girl power in the Finnish context. The chapter takes a retrospective look at the phenomenon through the lens of girl energy, a concept used for girl power in Finland. Through memory work, Aino Tormulainen, Heta Mulari and Myry Voipio analyze a sample of adult women’s experiences of being adolescents during the most intensive years of Finnish girl energy. The chapter focuses on three key themes through which the informants remembered the phenomenon: femininity, gender equality, and friendship.
Imaginary companions, theory of mind and emotion understanding in young children
2014
ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of imaginary companions (ICs) has received little attention in developmental psychology, even though it can be observed in approximately 25% of preschool-aged children. Only a few studies have investigated the effect of ICs on children's theory of mind and emotion understanding, and the results are partial or inconsistent. This study used comprehensive measures to assess emotional understanding and theory of mind in children aged four to six with ICs (N = 24) and compared their performance to that of children without ICs (N = 24). Results showed that children with ICs, regardless of age and gender, have a better theory of mind and emotion understanding than children w…
