Vanhempien ja kavereiden tuen yhteys nuoruusiän fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen
2017
Nuorten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen vaikuttavien tekijöiden tunteminen on perusteltua paitsi nuoruusiän terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin tukemiseksi niin myös yleisemmin kansanterveydellisistä syistä. Tutkimusten mukaan sekä vanhemmat että kaverit vaikuttavat monin eri tavoin lasten ja nuorten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen ja liikuntaan sosiaalistumiseen. Monen nuoren kohdalla liikunnan harrastaminen hiipuu murrosiässä, mutta sosiaalinen tuki näyttäisi olevan yksi fyysistä aktiivisuutta ylläpitävistä tekijöistä. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, miten vanhempien ja kavereiden tuki ovat yhteydessä nuoren fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen viides-, seitsemäs- ja yhdeksäsluokkalaisilla (n=2764). Tutkimus perustuu kyse…

Association Between Group Identification at School and Positive Youth Development: Moderating Role of Rural and Urban Contexts.
2020
These studies are framed within Social Identity Theory and the Positive Youth Development approach. The aim is: (1) to analyze the relationship between group identification at school and key positive development variables (such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, assertiveness, empathy, alexithymia, satisfaction with life, and academic performance); and (2) examine the moderator role of context (rural or urban areas of residence) and sex in these relationships. The samples were composed of 246 adolescents from a rural context (Study 1) and 156 students from rural and urban contexts (Study 2). As proposed in our hypotheses, the results show statistically significant relationships between group id…

The purpose of this study is to examine behavioural and emotional strengths of sociometrically popular, rejected, controversial, neglected, and average children. 773 third-grade children (51% girls) are assessed with a sociometric questionnaire and self-evaluations of their behavioural and emotional strengths and difficulties. Teacher evaluations are also used to assess the children’s academic competencies and behaviour. Univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to analyse the data. Results indicate that children in the popular status group assess their behavioural and emotional strengths…
Peer relationships of pupils with and without individualized education plans in co-teaching and maistream educational settings
2009
Pupils with special educational needs have been shown to experience more problems in peer relationships than their peers. Comparative research across different educational settings has been limited though. The purpose of this study was to compare the peer relationships of fifth-graders with and without individualized education plans (IEP) in co-teaching and mainstream educational settings. Peer relationships were operationalized as peer acceptance, friendship and, as a subjective response to peer relationships, the level of loneliness. Pupils with IEPs (n = 31) and pupils without IEPs (n = 181) from two coteaching and eight mainstream classes participated in the study. In the spring of Year…
