Health Behavior, Health Promotion, and the Transition to Parenthood : Insights from Research in Health Psychology and Behavior Change
2019
The transition to parenthood represents a period of considerable change. Much of the change is positive as parents experience the inherent emotional and social benefits of becoming a parent. However, it is also a period of considerable challenge and stress, which can have deleterious effects on health and well-being. Increased demands of caring for an infant can lead to loss of sleep, limited ‘leisure’ time, restrictions on social life, and difficulties in managing ‘work-life’ balance. In addition, the disruption and time demand lead to parents ‘falling out’ of health habits. Parents also have new responsibilities to care for the health of their child, and socialize them into healthy habits…
Nuorten miesten kirjeitse ohjailemat seurustelusuhteet 1800-luvun lopun sisäsuomalaisella maaseudulla
2014
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan 1800-luvun Keuruun käräjäkunnassa, sisäsuomalaisella maaseudulla eläneiden nuorten miesten ja naisten seurustelusuhteiden kehittymistä kohti avioliittoa ja sitä, kuinka tälle tielle alkoi kasautua ongelmia. Tutkimuksen ensisijaisena lähdeaineistona ovat miesten seurustelusuhteiden aikana kumppaneilleen lähettämät intiimit yksityiskirjeet (12 kappaletta), jotka naiset olivat tuoneet aviottoman lapsen elatusoikeudenkäynteihin todisteeksi suhteen aikaisesta seksuaalisesta kanssakäymisestä. Artikkeli sijoittuu kansanihmisten kirjoittamia tekstejä tarkastelevaan monitieteiseen historiantutkimuksen alaan. Artikkelissa esitetään, että kirjeet kirjoittaneet miehet pyrkivä…
Strong experiences of music in university students
2009
Research in Sweden has recently defined and explored the concept of strong experiences of music, which had been hitherto ignored by much research in the psychology of music and emotion. From a large-scale study of over 900 adults, Gabrielsson and Lindström Wik (2003) found that strong experiences of music included positive and negative responses to music, and could occur with any genre of music. The current research explores the generalisability of the strong experiences of music studied by Gabrielsson and Lindström Wik with a university student population in England, and compares the efficacy of the methods of analyzing accounts. 64 undergraduate students who had elected to take a music ps…
Vuorohoitopedagogiikkaa tutkimassa : vuorohoidon pedagoginen konteksti lapsen turvallisuuden tunteen näkökulmasta
2016
Työn epäsäännöllistyminen sekä yhteiskunnan muuttuminen 24/7 taloudeksi vaikuttaa myös lapsiin sekä lastenhoitojärjestelyihin. Vuorohoidon yleistyminen sekä sen erityislaatuisuudelle havahtuminen ovat tuoneet tarpeen myös vuorohoidon tutkimukselle. Tämän vuoksi tietoa kentältä vuorohoidon tilasta sekä vuorohoidon pedagogisen toiminnan haasteista ja mahdollisuuksista tarvitaan, jotta varhaiskasvatusta ja vuorohoitoa voidaan kehittää edelleen yhteiskunnan muutoksen mukana. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin vuorohoidon pedagogista toimintaa kasvattajien näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin millaisia haasteita ja toisaalta mahdollisuuksia vuorohoito asettaa pedagogiselle toiminnalle ja miten…
The inspiration in improvisation : identifying and classifying the approaches to emotion-based musical improvisation
2016
The purpose of this study was to identify the naturally occurring approaches that musicians use to improvise and to analyse the relationships between the approach used, the improviser’s musical experience, and the quality of the resulting improvisation. 16 participants took part in three group improvisation and discussion sessions, and the improvisations of the final session (80 in total) were recorded and rated by experts on emotions- and quality-related aspects. The approaches mentioned by participants in the final session were organised into five distinct categories: technical, musical inspiration, nuanced emotion, visualized scene, and personal experience. Significant negative correlati…
The lived experience of rescuing people who have driven into floodwater: Understanding challenges and identifying areas for providing support.
2018
Background: Drowning is a major public health issue, with risk increasing during times of flood. Driving into floodwater is a major risk factor for flood-related drowning and injury, and despite widespread public health campaigns, many people continue to undertake this risky behaviour and require rescue. Purpose: We aimed to identify key challenges faced by emergency services personnel when rescuing those who have driven into floodwater, and to identify strategies for supporting rescuers in this important role. Methods: Australian flood rescue operators (N = 8) who had previously rescued a driver who had driven into floodwater participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed u…
SICILY: THE OVERWHELMING FLUXES OF MASS TOURISM, IMMIGRATION AND STREET MARKETS
2016
Tre progetti sono sviluppati nello stupendo, sebbene in parte distrutto, centro storico di Palermo, il quarto si trova invece ad Agrigento sulla costa sud ovest della Sicilia, un sito archeologico di rinomanza mondiale. Lo scenario di questi progetti è la Sicilia dei prossimi anni nella quale enormi masse di persone arriveranno. - Da un lato il turismo di massa con il suo straripante sviluppo porterà gente al Nord - principalmente Palermo – e loro molto spesso si dirigeranno a Sud a vedere le rovine greche. - similmente una latrettanto enorme massa di gente disperata sbarcherà avventurosamente sulla costa sud e farà lo stesso percorso ma in verso opposto verso Palermo, tappa intermedia vers…
Emociju regulācijas saistība ar uztverto sociālo atbalstu un sasniegumu motivāciju notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā
2019
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp emociju regulāciju, uztverto sociālo atbalstu un sasniegumu motivāciju notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā, analizējot teorētisko literatūru, jaunāko zinātnisko pētījumu rezultātus un veicot praktisku pētījumu. Tika izvirzīts pētījuma jautājums: Kādas ir sakarības starp emociju regulācijas, uztverto sociālā atbalsta un sasniegumu motivācijas rādītājiem notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā? Tāpat tika izvirzīti arī sekojoši papildjautājumi: 1) Kādas ir sakarības starp notiesātu personu ieslodzījumā uztvertā sociālā atbalsta rādītājiem, vecumu un attiecību statusu? 2) Kādas ir sakarības starp notiesātu personu ieslodzījumā sasniegu…
Seeing Gravity: Gait Adaptations to Visual and Physical Inclines – A Virtual Reality Study
2020
Using advanced virtual reality technology, we demonstrate that exposure to virtual inclinations visually simulating inclined walking induces gait modulations in a manner consistent with expected gravitational forces (i.e., acting upon a free body), suggesting vision-based perception of gravity. The force of gravity critically impacts the regulation of our movements. However, how humans perceive and incorporate gravity into locomotion is not well understood. In this study, we introduce a novel paradigm for exposing humans to incongruent sensory information under conditions constrained by distinct gravitational effects, facilitating analysis of the consistency of human locomotion with expecte…
On Happy Dance : Emotion Recognition in Dance Movements
2013
Movements are capable of conveying emotions, as shown for instance in studies on both non-verbal gestures and music-specific movements performed by instrumentalists or professional dancers. Since dancing/moving to music is a common human activity, this study aims at investigating whether quasi-spontaneous music-induced movements of non-professional dancers can convey emotional qualities as well. From a movement data pool of 60 individuals dancing to 30 musical stimuli, the performances of four dancers that moved most notably, and four stimuli representing happiness, anger, sadness, and tenderness were chosen to create a set of stimuli containing the four audio excerpts, 16 video excerpts (w…
