Paternal mental health trajectory classes and early fathering experiences

2016

A father’s mental health is important for family well-being, but research is scarce on paternal symptoms during the transition to fatherhood. This study identified fathers’ latent mental health trajectory classes from the pre- to postnatal period and examined their associations with early fathering experiences. It further analysed, whether a family’s infertility history was associated with mental health trajectory classes and moderated their effects on fathering experiences. Finnish fathers ( N = 773) reported psychological distress (General Health Questionnaire; GHQ-36) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory; BDI-13) in pregnancy (T1), and at 2 months (T2) and 12 months (T3) p…

Parenting styles of Finnish parents and their associations with parental burnout

2022

Abstract In the present study, we examined what kind of parenting style groups (defined by parental warmth, behavioral control, and psychological control) can be identified among contemporary Finnish mothers and fathers and how these parenting style groups are associated with parents’ symptoms of parental burnout. Gender differences in parenting style groups, and in their associations with parental burnout, were also investigated. The survey data were gathered from 1,471 Finnish parents (91.2% mothers). The results of k-means cluster analysis identified six different parenting style groups: authoritarian (13.5%), permissive (15.2%), psychologically controlling (19.4%), uninvolved (14.4%), c…

“Equally, but in our own way” : First-time parents’ prenatal expectations of coparenting

2022

This study examined the expectations of expectant first-time parents on coparenting in a Finnish two-parent family. Thirty expectant couples were individually interviewed (N = 60) during the third trimester of pregnancy. The semi-structured interviews focused on participants’ expectations and hopes on future coparenting. Thematic analysis revealed that the expectant first-time mothers and fathers saw coparenting as multidimensional. They talked about coparenting in terms of 1) division of labour issues, 2) management of family dynamics, 3) childrearing agreement, 4) coparental support, and 5) learning and developing. Thus, the expectant couples hoped for a coparenting relationship in which …

The joint effects of parenting styles and the child's temperamental characteristics in children's social-emotional development

2016

This research examined the joint effects of parenting and the temperamental characteristics of children on their social-emotional development during their early school years. Three studies, focusing on different aspects of social-emotional development as well as on different temperamental characteristics, were carried out. The first study investigated the extent to which mothers' and fathers' parenting styles differently impact their children's social-emotional development, based on the children's tendency to show signs of social withdrawal. The second study focused on the different impacts of parenting styles on children's emotional expression, depending on the children's temperament type.…

"Isässäni parasta on se, kun hän tekee hyvää ruokaa ja ostaa joskus uusia leluja minulle." : isä ja materia lasten kertomuksissa

2018

Isä on lapselle tärkeä. Hänen kanssaan potkitaan palloa, herkutellaan kahdestaan tai askarrellaan hamahelmillä. Lapsi näkee isänsä yhä useammin myös keittiössä tekemässä ruokaa. Tällaisia asioita lapset kertoivat isästään, mutta mitä nämä tarinat kertovat meille nykypäivän isyydestä? Materialla näyttää olevan monenlaisia tehtäviä lasten arjessa ja lapsen ja isän suhteessa. Näyttää myös siltä, että lasten käsitykset ja kokemukset miesvanhemmasta sekä tukevat että rikkovat perinteistä mieskuvaa ja perheen sukupuoliroolijakoja. nonPeerReviewed

THE STABILITY, RISK AND PERFORMANCE OF COOPERATIVE BANKS

2013

In a market economy, tradition, stability and performance of cooperative banks, namely science and art of leadership, management, organization and their administration become major facets in promoting and improving cooperative banks, at the microeconomic level, to which we provide a coherent set of concepts, principles, methods and management techniques, their knowledge contributing to the viability and practical implementation, modernization and development of cooperative banks to increase their profitability and competitiveness in heightened risk conditions on local, national and even global markets. In the context of major changes in Romanian society, the action of the forces inside the …

The Most Invisible Maternal Experience? Analysing How Maternal Regret Is Discussed in Finland

2021

AbstractIn Finland, becoming a mother is often constructed as an individual choice that ultimately leads to personal fulfilment and happiness, despite the occasional ‘negative’ feelings associated with motherhood such as exhaustion, frustration and tiredness. In this cultural atmosphere, maternal regret continues to be a subject that is hidden, forbidden and rarely scrutinised. It is perhaps surprising that in one of the world’s most gender egalitarian countries, which is also perceived to be one of the best countries in which to be a mother, women still testify that motherhood is limited to survival. We argue that, somewhat paradoxically, discussing the negative emotions of motherhood migh…

Reincidencia penitenciaria, reincidencia en maltrato físico heteroinformado y reincidencia en maltrato psicológico heteroinformado en una muestra de …

2017

El estudio de la reincidencia y las variables con las que se relaciona es importante de cara a minimizar la nueva comisión de conductas delictivas. De este modo, detectando aquellas variables relacionadas con el aumento de la reincidencia delictiva, se pueden perfeccionar los métodos de intervención utilizados para reducir la tasa de reincidencia sobre este tipo de conductas. En el caso de los jóvenes infractores este estudio requiere de una importancia considerable de cara a no consolidar un estilo de vida delictivo en el adolescente, que perdure durante la etapa adulta. En España son numerosas las investigaciones acerca de la reincidencia delictiva en menores. Sin embargo, en el estudio d…

Genomic conflicts and sexual antagonism in human health: Insights from oxytocin and testosterone

2015

We review the hypothesized and observed effects of two of the major forms of genomic conflicts, genomic imprinting and sexual antagonism, on human health. We focus on phenotypes mediated by peptide and steroid hormones (especially oxytocin and testosterone) because such hormones centrally mediate patterns of physical and behavioral resource allocation that underlie both forms of conflict. In early development, a suite of imprinted genes modulates the human oxytocinergic system as predicted from theory, with paternally inherited gene expression associated with higher oxytocin production, and increased solicitation to mothers by infants. This system is predicted to impact health through the i…
