MOJAVE. XIII. New 15GHz observations on 1994-2013

2017

We present 1625 new 15GHz (2cm) VLBA images of 295 jets associated with active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the MOJAVE and 2cm VLBA surveys, spanning observations between 1994 August 31 and 2013 August 20. For 274 AGNs with at least 5 VLBA epochs, we have analyzed the kinematics of 961 individual bright features in their parsec-scale jets. A total of 122 of these jets have not been previously analyzed by the MOJAVE program. In the case of 451 jet features that had at least 10 epochs, we also examined their kinematics for possible accelerations. At least half of the well-sampled features have non-radial and/or accelerating trajectories, indicating that non-ballistic motion is common in AGN je…

Studying Sensitive and Contradictory Family Situations - Considerations from Three Family Studies

2011

The purpose of this article is to discuss questions about studying sensitive and contradictory family situations, particularly in the process of gathering qualitative data via interviews. In the article, the authors ask what types of considerations are possible when studying such issues. Three ongoing family studies conducted in the social sciences by the authors are used as the basis for discussing the sensitive and contradictory nature of such family issues. The authors’ studies are about the foster children’s family relations, the sons of problem-drinking fathers and the families participating in a preventive family support system. Family matters are often perceived as being something pr…

Everyday Listening to Music and Emotion Among College Students

2013

This study attempted to reveal the relationship between everyday listening to music and emotion among col-lege students. Participants were 13 female and 2 male college students who were given booklets to record the following over an 8-day period: dates and times of their everyday experiences of listening to music, duration of listening, locations and contexts of listening, active or passive listening, emotions before and after listening, and tiles and artists to which they listened. Results indicated that the participants listened to music for 5 to 30 minutes while driving or riding in a car. Emotions reported both before and after listening to music were mainly ‘happy’, ‘calm’, and ‘dull’.…

Varhaisnuorten emootiot suoriutumistilanteissa : taitotasoltaan erilaisten kuudesluokkalaisten perustunteiden tunnistaminen objektiivisesti ja subjek…

2017

Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkasteltu varhaisnuorten tunteiden tunnistamista suoriutumistilanteissa. Subjektiivisesti ja objektiivisesti mitattujen tunteiden vastaavuuksia tarkasteltiin ottaen huomioon tehtävien vaikeustaso ja esittämisjärjestys, oppilaan kognitiivinen kykytaso, ylivilkkauden pulmat sekä tunteiden huippuhetket ja aallonpohjat. Tutkimus on toteutettu osana syksyllä 2013 käynnistynyttä TIKAPUU – Alakoulusta yläkouluun – tutkimushanketta, johon osallistuu 55 koululuokkaa kahdesta Keski-Suomen kunnasta. Tutkimuksen aineisto (n = 154) koostuu yksilötutkimuksiin osallistuneista nuorista, joiden kasvonilmeitä mitattiin FaceReader-ohjelman avulla heidän tehdessään yleisen päättelyn te…

Integrating Self-Reports and Electrodermal Activity (EDA) Measurement in Studying Emotions in Professional Learning

2022

Studies on emotions in learning have been mostly conducted through self-reporting questionnaires and interviews conducted after the learning situation, which seldom focus on professional workplace learning. Meanwhile, workplace and professional learning research has been introduced with emerging methods to capture the learning processes at multiple levels. Previous research on emotions has suggested that self-reports should be supplemented with psychophysiological data. Challenged by this, this chapter aims to present and discuss the integration of self-reported and psychophysiological data in studying emotions and professional learning. The empirical research data are obtained from five Fi…

The role of daily autonomous and controlled educational goals in students’ academic emotion states: An experience sampling method approach

2018

The present study examines antecedents of university students' academic emotions (Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry, 2002) in the context of self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985; 2000), using realtime assessment and intra-individual analyses. We investigated whether daily autonomous and controlled-motivated educational goals predicted students' academic emotions. University students (N = 55) completed smartphone diaries over 14 consecutive days. The two-week intensive longitudinal data were organized in a hierarchical three-level structure, with situations (Level 1) nested within days (Level 2) nested within students (Level 3). Students' goal motivation was assessed in morning quest…

The Relation Between Emotional Valence and Performance Motion of the Keyboard Instrument

2013

This study examined relations of the emotion and part of the upper body during the keyboard instrument performance. The study showed the trace from the lateral direction to watch movement. As a result, there was a difference in the emotional expression of the performance in the head and upper arm. In this way, we understood that the part except the hand was important to emotional expression in the keyboard instrument performance. The future investigation is going to analyze the front.

The emotions of foreign language teachers in relation to students

2014

Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma on osa pitkittäistutkimusta, joka on seurannut 11 vastavalmistuneen vieraan kielen opettajan kehitystä noin kymmenen vuoden ajan. Seitsemän opettajaa jatkoi tutkimuksen parissa tänä vuonna ja uusimmat haastattelut toteutettiin keväällä 2014. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää millaisia oppilaisiin liittyviä tunteita kieltenopettajilla on ja ovatko kyseiset tunteet mahdollisesti muuttuneet vuosien saatossa. Tutkimus lähestyi tunteita relationaalisesta näkökulmasta. Sen mukaan tunteet ovat pääosin sosiaalisia ja syntyvät vuorovaikutuksessa ympäristön ja muiden ihmisten kanssa. Tunne on reaktio sosiaaliseen, ihmisen tärkeäksi kokemaan tapahtumaan ja tunne m…

Cognitive Skills, Math-Related Emotions, and Beliefs Explaining Response to Arithmetic Fluency Intervention

2023

We examined the associations of cognitive skills, math-related emotions and beliefs, and gender with responses to an arithmetic fluency intervention. Elementary school children with dysfluent arithmetic skills (N=69) participated in an arithmetic fluency intervention (with and without self-efficacy support) implemented in small groups in schools for 12 weeks. Hierarchical regression models including cognitive skills or math-related emotions and beliefs predicted 21% to 50% of the variation in the intervention response, i.e., improvement in arithmetic fluency. Cognitive skills were associated with the response mainly among boys, whereas math-related emotions and beliefs explained more among …
