A latent profile analysis of trait emotional intelligence to identify beneficial and risk profiles in well-being and job performance: a study among J…
2016
Trait emotional intelligence (EI) is a noteworthy psychological resource in nursing. However, its effects on well-being and job performance are inconsistent. Thus, we explored the latent beneficial and risk profiles of trait EI among 461 Japanese eldercare nurses. Latent profile analysis revealed six latent profiles. In addition, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that the profile with the highest overall scores on the trait EI dimensions was associated with the most beneficial outcomes (better well-being, higher job performance). In contrast, the profiles with lower overall scores on the trait EI dimensions showed negative outcomes. Moreover, a disproportional profile, ch…
Are subjective outcomes a “missing link” between driving stress and risky driving behaviors of commuters? Assessing the case of a LMIC
2023
Despite the efforts made by different stakeholders, most of Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) continue to systematically report very negative road safety outcomes. In fact, in countries like Colombia, the rate of deaths from traffic crashes has increased in recent years. One of the most affected collectives in this regard -and at the same time one of the least addressed in specialized literature- are driving commuters, which are commonly exposed to several types of threats and stressors configuring an “everyday risk” potentially impairing their health and safety. This study aimed to assess whether there exists an indirect path -mediated by subjective outcomes- linking driving stress a…
The effectiveness of using LEGO® robotics kits as cognitive and social rehabilitative toys
2020
The present article offers a theoretical contribution to the understanding of the effectiveness of using robotics as cognitive and social rehabilitative toys. Starting from the theoretical foundations of educational robotics in the framework of constructionism, it provides methodological indications related to game activities with robotics behaviour construction kits, such as LEGO® Ev3. Moreover, it discusses empirical studies that evaluated the effectiveness of the use of robotics behaviour construction kits in the field of intellectual disabilities. Practical implications of the present study might be useful for educators, school psychologists, or rehabilitative therapists in the field of…
Newborn crawling and rooting in response to maternal breast odor
2021
International audience; A growing literature shows that perception and action are already tightly coupled in the newborn. The current study aimed to examine the nature of the coupling between olfactory stimuli from the mother and the newborn's crawling and rooting (exploratory movements of the head). To examine the coupling, the crawling and rooting behavior of 28 2-day-old newborns were studied while they were supported prone on a mobility device shaped like a mini skateboard, the Crawliskate®, their head positioned directly on top of a pad infused with either their mother's breast odor (Maternal) or the odor of water (Control). Video and 3D kinematic analyses of the number and types of li…

Salatieteellinen painonhallinta : elintarviketeollisuuden levittämät harhat julkisessa lihavuuden torjuntakeskustelussa
2010
Tarkastelen Pro gradu –työssäni Euroopan komission ja 13 unionin jäsenmaan käymää terveyden edistämiskeskustelua. Keskustelu käydään aikana, jolloin sekä elintasosairaudet että lihavuus ovat lisääntyneet merkittävästi. Elintarviketeollisuudella on merkittävä rooli väestön terveydentilan taustavaikuttajana ja lisäksi se osallistuu aktiivisesti oman liiketoimintansa reunaehtoihin liittyvään yhteiskuntapoliittiseen keskusteluun. Tarkoituksenani on nyt selvittää, minkälaisia haittoja julkisen ja yksityisen sektorin välinen yhteistyö sisältää terveyden edistämisen kannalta. Näin pyrin omalta osaltani selittämään elintasosairauksien huomattavaa lisääntymistä ja yhteiskuntapolitiikan samanaikaista…
Beliefs and attitudes of Australian learner drivers toward driving and avoiding driving through floodwater
2023
Driving through floodwater is a significant cause of flood-related injury and mortality, and opportunities exist to embed safe driving messages regarding floodwaters to novice drivers in graduated driver licensing schemes. To inform future educational efforts, we investigated the beliefs and attitudes of Australian learner drivers about driving and avoiding driving through floodwaters. Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional correlational design with measures drawn from the theory of planned behaviour and administered within an online survey. Phase 1 (N = 44 learner drivers) aimed to identify the core beliefs associated with driving through floodwater. Phase 2 (N = 250 learner drivers)…
Self-deception in financial decisions
2019
Samooszukiwanie jest klasyfikowane jako jeden z błędów decyzyjnych, utrudniający podejmowanie racjonalnych decyzji. Efektywność rynku finansowego jest zaś związana z przekonaniem, że uczestnicy rynku zachowują się racjonalnie, tj. maksymalizują swoją użyteczność i są w stanie poprawnie przetwarzać wszystkie napływające informacje. Skoro jednak są dowody na to, że anomalie rynku finansowego się zdarzają, należy uznać, że efektywność rynku jest tylko szczególną sytuacją, w jakiej ten rynek może się znaleźć. W artykule opisano wyniki badania przeprowadzonego w formie eksperymentu, podczas którego testowano hipotezę, iż osoby o wyższym statusie finansowym są bardziej skłonne do podejmowania bar…

Dead wood profile of a semi-natural boreal forest – implications for sampling
2019
Dead wood profile of a forest is a useful tool for describing forest characteristics and assessing forest disturbance history. Nevertheless, there are few studies on dead wood profiles, including both coarse and fine dead wood, and on the effect of sampling intensity on the dead wood estimates. In a semi-natural boreal forest, we measured every dead wood item over 2 cm in diameter from 80 study plots. From eight plots, we further recorded dead wood items below 2 cm in diameter. Based on these data we constructed the full dead wood profile, i.e. the overall number of dead wood items and their distribution among different tree species, volumes of different size and decay stage categories. We …
