Un adieu au macho espagnol ibérique? Une analyse de la masculinité en Espagne. Échanges avec des experts
2019
The traditional model of masculinity in Spain (the so-called Spanish Macho) is heir to a long tradition of understanding how masculinity is framed as an omnipotent model assuming that “a man has license to do whatever he wants”. This idealized behavioral pattern is slowly changing in Spain, as it accompanies the transformations in Spanish society. Certain public policies have provided momentum for a change in the way that the issue of gender in general and gender violence in particular are approached. A study carried out under the auspices of the University of Valencia between 2013 and 2015 interviewed experts and activists from an association of men seeking equality with women in an attemp…
School burnout, depressive symptoms and engagement : Their combined effect on student achievement
2017
Abstract Prior studies have shown that student burnout becomes more prevalent during adolescence and is associated with both depressive symptoms and school engagement. Little is known about how burnout, engagement, and depressive symptoms jointly affect students’ school achievement in terms of grades and skipping class. The main purpose of the current study was to analyse these variables within a full model in order to examine the direct and indirect effects of burnout, engagement and depression on student achievement, while controlling for gender and age. Participants were 210 Italian high school students aged 14 to 16. Student burnout was found to exert the strongest effect on school achi…
Seksuaalivähemmistöjen häirintä joukkueessa tai liikuntaryhmässä : henkisen pahoinvoinnin näkökulma
2018
Tämä tutkimus kohdistui seksuaalivähemmistöihin kuuluviin urheilijoihin ja liikkujiin (N = 155, juridisesti 93 naista ja 62 miestä) ja heidän kokemaansa sukupuoleen perustuvaan ja seksuaaliseen häirintään joukkueessa tai muussa liikuntaryhmässä. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, 1) kuinka joukkueurheilun tai ryhmäliikunnan parissa koettu sukupuoleen perustuva ja seksuaalinen häirintä olivat yhteydessä seksuaalivähemmistöön kuuluvien urheilijoiden ja liikunnan harrastajien stressinä, psykosomaattisina oireina ja masentuneisuutena ilmenevään henkiseen pahoinvointiin ja 2) erosivatko häirintäkokemukset sukupuolen ja seksuaalisen suuntautuneisuuden mukaan. Seksuaalivähemmistöön kuuluvien urheilijoiden…
Employment and earnings trajectories before and after sickness absence due to major depressive disorder: a nationwide case-control study.

ObjectivesTo examine employment and earnings trajectories before and after the first sickness absence period due to major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodsAll individuals (n=158 813) in Finland who had a first sickness absence period (lasting longer than 9 days) due to MDD between 2005 and 2015 were matched with one randomly selected individual of the same age and gender with no history of MDD. Employment status and earnings were measured using register-based data annually from 2005 to 2015. Generalised estimating equations were used to examine the trajectories of employment and earnings before and after MDD diagnosis in men and women separately.ResultsSickness absence due to MDD was associ…

The Junta de Damas de Honor y Mérito (Committee of Ladies of Honour and Merit): Children’s parchments in the Madrid Foundling House (1802)
2023
A finales del siglo XVIII, la Casa de Expósitos de Madrid recibía unos tres o cuatro bebés al día, aproximadamente mil al año. Las tasas de mortalidad eran enormes: más del 90% de los niños morían durante el primer mes de vida. En 1799, una sociedad femenina, la Junta de Damas de Honor y Mérito, sustituyó al anterior comité masculino y asumió la totalidad de las funciones. Este capítulo muestra cómo utilizar la documentación elaborada por la Junta como fuente primaria para recurrir a sus prácticas científicas con el fin de reducir los índices de mortalidad. By the late eighteenth century, the Madrid Foundling House received around three to four babies a day, approximately a thousand babies …
Toddlers as ignorant citizens: An explorative study of conflicts and negotiations involving toys in kindergarten
2020
This article explores conflicts among toddlers in kindergarten and the impact of toys in these conflicts. The author describes these interactions as part of how children develop and express their citizenship, and argues that staff members should hesitate before interfering with rules in order to prevent such conflicts. This is based on Mouffe’s theory of democracy as agonistic pluralism and the way Biesta argues for the term ‘ignorant citizen’. The child is an ignorant citizen due to their lack of predefined ways to behave when obstructions and agonisms occur during play. Hence, children’s non-verbal negotiations about toys can be interpreted as political experiments.
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…
