Changing Economic Conditions and Identity Formation in Adulthood

2010

Identity formation in political and occupational domains was examined from young to middle adulthood based on an ongoing longitudinal study. In addition to the participants’ identity status (diffused, moratorium, foreclosed, achieved), we assessed their perceived importance of politics, future orientation, and career stability four times in adulthood, at ages 27, 36, 42, and 50. The number of participants varied between analyses, from 168 to 291. Changes in the economic situation in Finland from 1986 to 2009 provided a context for the study. Data collections at ages 36 (in 1995) and 50 (in 2009) took place during economic recessions, and at age 42 (in 2001) during an economic boom. The res…

Tutkimus ammatti-identiteetin tukijana ja oppimisyhteisöjen rakentajana

2005

Jos työstä viedään lyhytnäköisen tehostamisen seurauksena oppimisen kannalta tärkeimmät ainekset eli mahdollisuus arvioida omaa työtä ja mahdollisuus sosiaaliseen vuorovaikutukseen, on vaarana, että osaamisketjut sekä niitä synnyttävät ja ylläpitävät yhteisöt rapautuvat. Myös työntekijöiden ammatillinen identiteetti on vaarassa rapautua, ellei yhteisöön samastumisen ja kuulumisen sekä sen taustalla olevan luottamuksen arvoa ja osaamisen hankkimiseksi tehtyä pitkäjänteistä työtä osata riittävästi arvostaa. – Professori Anneli Eteläpellon virkaanastujaispuhe 10. marraskuuta 2004 Jyväskylän yliopistossa.

An overview of the concepts of change and development - from the premodern to modern era

2012

This chapter focuses on the concepts of change and progress: on one hand, it approaches this topic from the point of view of the history of science; on the other hand, from the point of view of modern developmental psychology. The section on the history of science focuses on the historical period of the pre-modern Hellenistic era to the Enlightenment. This period is long, and it therefore includes several, different world views and cultural trends. In this chapter culturally significant trends of thought within the PtolemaicAristotelic tradition are described.The section on the modern developmental psychology approach analyses the following questions: (1) which characteristics must changes …

The structure of mental well-being and its relationship with generativity in middle adulthood and the beginning of late adulthood

2023

Previous studies have linked higher generativity with better mental well-being. However, most of these studies investigated the predictive role of generativity in well-being, while the converse relation, that is, how mental well-being contributes to generativity, has been ignored. This study first investigated the structure and stability of multidimensional mental well-being, that is, emotional (including happiness, life satisfaction, and positive and negative mood), psychological, and social well-being and the absence of depressive feelings, from age 42 to 61. Second, longitudinal associations between mental well-being and generativity were examined. The data ( n = 301) utilized in this s…

Identity Development in Adulthood: Introduction

2016

In line with Erikson’s suggestions, increasing empirical evidence substantiates that considerable identity development takes place over the course of adulthood. What then does identity development during adulthood entail? The key findings of adult identity formation from four culturally different countries, and the challenges of analyzing the complex concept of identity are discussed. Although a wide array of identity measures are available, they have not been sufficiently validated for use with middle-aged or older adults. Additionally, different measures may yield results that are not comparable across studies. More studies are needed on adult identity development in populations represent…

Identity Status Change Within Personal Style Clusters : A Longitudinal Perspective From Early Adulthood to Midlife

2019

Differences in identity stability and change from age 36 through 42 to 50 were examined between three male and female personal style clusters extracted at age 27. We expected, first, the identity statuses to consistently differ between the clusters and, second, those with the least mature identity to move closer to others during midlife. Differences between the personal style clusters were discovered on all identity statuses across ages. Although significant personal style × age interactions were not detected, some evidence of pace-of-development differences emerged for women: Initial differences in identity maturation between the female groups partially leveled off by midlife. In men, earl…

The Development of Generativity in Middle Adulthood and the Beginning of Late Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study from Age 42 to 61

2023

AbstractPrevious studies have yielded mixed results regarding the development of generativity during adulthood. Longitudinal data were utilized to investigate the average development of generativity between the ages of 42 and 61 as well as individual differences in terms of its development. The study used data from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS) (initial N = 369). The data consisted of 291 individuals whose generativity scores, measured using the Generativity Scale, were available at age 42, 50, or 61. Rasch analysis was utilized to form a generativity measure. The development of generativity between the measurements was investigated in women a…

Passiivisen altistamisen menetelmä kielenoppimisen avuksi

2019

Perinteisesti opettelemme vierasta kieltä aktiivisesti eli tarkkaavaisesti ja keskittyen. Voisiko kieltä kuitenkin oppia myös passiivisesti vaikkapa kotiaskareiden ohessa vieraskielistä radio-ohjelmaa kuunnellen? Uusi aivotutkimus tukee tätä ajatusta. nonPeerReviewed
