Toward a Dimensional Assessment of Externalizing Disorders in Children : Reliability and Validity of a Semi-Structured Parent Interview

2020

Objective: This study assesses the reliability and validity of the DSM-5-based, semi-structured Clinical Parent Interview for Externalizing Disorders in Children and Adolescents (ILF-EXTERNAL). Method: Participant data were drawn from the ongoing ESCAschool intervention study. The ILF-EXTERNAL was evaluated in a clinical sample of 474 children and adolescents (aged 6−12 years, 92 females) with symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). To obtain interrater reliability, the one-way random-effects, absolute agreement models of the intraclass correlation (ICC) for single ICC(1,1) and average measurements ICC(1,3) were computed between the interviewers and two independent rate…

The Finnish excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages and its effect on their prices and demand

2018

Sokerilla makeutettujen juomien kulutus on yhteydessä ylipainoon, liikalihavuuteen ja niihin liittyviin sairauksiin, kuten tyypin 2 diabetekseen. Sokerillisten juomien valmisteveroa pidetään tehokkaana keinona vähentää kulutusta ja parantaa väestön terveyttä. Koska virvoitusjuomien kulutukseen liittyy potentiaalisia markkinahäiriöitä, niiden verotuksella on mahdollista parantaa yhteiskunnallista kokonaishyvinvointia. Tammikuussa 2014 Suomi kaksinkertaisti virvoitusjuomien valmisteveron sokerillisten juomien osalta 0,11 eurosta 0,22 euroon litralta. Kun otetaan huomioon verosta maksettava 14 prosentin suuruinen arvonlisävero, tämä merkitsee noin 0,125 euron hinnankorotusta sokerillisten juom…

The impact of parental behaviors on children's negative emotions

2015

The study examined the role of different parental behaviors on children’s negative emotions. Parents of 152 Finnish first grade children (79 girls and 73 boys) filled in diary-formed questionnaires which measure parental behaviors including affection, behavioral control and psychological control. Children’s negative emotions are also measured by diary-formed questionnaires which are filled in by their parents. The results showed that parental affection was negatively related to children’s negative emotions while parental psychological control was positively related to children’s negative emotions. The study did not find relation between parental behavioral control and children’s negative em…

Patterns of Children’s Relationships With Parents and Teachers in Grade 1 : Links to Task Persistence and Performance

2022

Our study aimed to investigate the patterns of children’s relationships with their parents and teachers, the development of these relationships during Grade 1, and respective links to children’s learning (in task persistence and performance). Parents of 350 children answered questionnaires about the quality of their relationships with their children; 25 teachers answered questions about children’s task persistence at school and the quality of their relationships with their students; 350 children completed literacy and math performance tests; and six testers evaluated children’s task persistence when completing those tests. All measures were administered twice: at the start and end of Grade …

The roles of achievement-related behaviours and parental beliefs in children´s mathematical performance

2003

This study aimed to investigate the developmental dynamics between children's mathematical performance, the task-focused versus task-avoidant behaviours they show in the classroom, and their parents' beliefs concerning their school competence. The mathematical performance of 111 six- to seven-year-old children was tested, and their task-focused versus task-avoidant behaviours were rated by their teachers four times during their first school year. Parents filled in questionnaires measuring their skill-specific and general beliefs about their children's school competencies at the beginning and at the end of the school year. The results showed that parents' beliefs in their children's general …

Implementing positive behaviour intervention and support in Finnish early childhood education and care : leadership team’s perspective

2023

The effective implementation of positive behaviour intervention and support (PBIS) requires both organisational and professional change. This means that the whole community including all educators and children commit to shared principles, practices, and structures to create a safe and supportive social climate. In this article, we investigate the initial implementation of the Finnish PBIS ProVaka in eighteen early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres. Our inductive qualitative analysis of longitudinal progress diary data focuses on roles, responsibilities and communication among the ECEC communities. The results show that successful ProVaka development is a matter of successfully exp…

Oikealla vai vasemmalla? : 5-7-vuotiaiden lasten lateraalisuus ja sen yhteys karkeamotoristen taitojen tasoon

2016

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaista lasten kätisyyden tai jalkaisuuden vakiintuminen on karkeamotorisissa taidoissa 5–7-vuoden iässä ja millainen yhteys lapsen oikean tai vasemman käden tai jalan vakiintuneisuudella on karkeamotoristen taitojen tasoon. Kätisyyden tai jalkaisuuden vakiintumisella tarkoitetaan sitä, että lapsi suorittaa karkeamotorisia tehtäviä käyttäen systemaattisesti saman puolen kättä tai jalkaa vaihtamatta niitä suoritusten välissä. Voidaan puhua myös lateraalisuudesta, joka tarkoittaa tietoisuutta kehon eri puolista, oikeasta ja vasemmasta (Sääkslahti 2003). Tutkimuksen koehenkilöinä olivat 186 5–7-vuotiasta lasta Jyväskylän ja Savonlinnan päiväkode…

Aposematism in the burying beetle? Dual function of anal fluid in parental care and chemical defence

2017

Burying beetles (Nicrophorus vespilloides) bear distinctive and variable orange-black patterning on their elytra and produce an anal exudate from their abdomen when threatened. During breeding, the anal exudates contribute to the antimicrobial defence of the breeding resource. We investigated whether the anal exudates also provide a responsive chemical defence, which is advertised to potential avian predators by the beetle’s orange and black elytral markings. We found that that the orange-black elytral markings of the burying beetle are highly conspicuous for avian predators against range of backgrounds, by using computer simulations. Using bioassays with wood ants, we also showed that the …
