“Det sitter i veggene”. Materialitet og mennesker i distriktspsykiatriske sentra

2009

This dissertation examines the impact that the materiality of institutions has on patients and staff.

The patients’ and employees’ experiences of being present in the physical and social space of these institutions has been examined, interpreted and reflected upon. The paper provides knowledge about the significance institutions’ materiality and inner life has on the informants, and how the informants influence the materiality.

The Role of Enculturation in Music-Induced Emotions : A Study on Psychophysiological Responses during Music Listening

2018

Previous cross-cultural studies in music and emotion have mostly focused on emotion recognition and whether basic perceived emotions are recognised across cultures. As a result, the impact of enculturation on music-induced emotions remains largely unexplored. In addition, such studies have relied mainly on subjective self-reports, ignoring other components of emotion such as physiology. Cross-cultural studies have suggested that cultural learning has a differential effect on certain emotional components (subjective feeling, physiology, and facial expression), yet this has not been tested in a music setting. To test this hypothesis, three groups of Finnish, Chinese, and Greek non-musicians l…

Musiikin terapeuttiset mahdollisuudet alakoulun musiikkitunnilla erityisluokassa

2016

Suomen kouluissa on enenevässä määrin oppilaita erityisopetuksen piirissä. Tukea saadaan yleisenä, tehostettuna tai erityisenä tukena. Yhtenä syynä erityisopetukselle on tunne-elämän häiriö tai sosiaalinen sopeutumattomuus. Tällaisten oppilaiden on vaikeaa tulla toimeen toisten kanssa ja he joutuvat usein konflikteihin vuorovaikutustilanteissa. He eivät osaa tunnistaa eivätkä säädellä omia tunteitaan niin hyvin kuin muut ikätoverit. Kouluikäiset myös kokevat paljon sekä onnistumisia että epäonnistumisia, jolloin hyvä minäkäsitys ja itsetunto korostuvat, koska ne auttavat selviämään epäonnistumisista.Musiikin sekä fysiologisia että psyykkisiä vaikutuksia on tutkittu paljon. Musiikki mm. alen…

2023

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had implications for adolescents’ interpersonal relationships, communication patterns, education, recreational activities and well-being. An understanding of the impact of the pandemic on their mental health is crucial in measures to promote the post-pandemic recovery. Using a person-centered approach, the current study aimed to identify mental health profiles in two cross-sectional samples of Finnish adolescents before and after the peak of the pandemic, and to examine how socio-demographic and psychosocial factors, academic expectations, health literacy, and self-rated health are associated with the emerging profiles. Methods and findings Surv…

Cross validation of hard-copy and web-based formats of the Sport Imagery Ability Measure

2018

The purpose of this multi-sample study was to examine the psychometric characteristics, factor structure, and measurement invariance of the hard-copy and web-based versions of a measure of sport imagery ability, termed Sport Imagery Ability Measure (SIAM). In the first sample, Spanish athletes (N = 274, 161 men, 113 women, Mage = 21.91, SD = 6.67) completed a hard-copy version of the SIAM. A newly developed web-based version of the SIAM was cross validated in an independent group (N = 266, 147 men, 119 women, Mage = 25.93, SD = 9.84). A small group of participants (n = 16) completed both versions. Exploratory structural equation modelling and confirmatory factor analysis of the data from th…

Reactions to a career-ending sport injury : Pekka Hirvonen, a professional ice hockey player

2019

This chapter presents an end of athletic career case of a professional ice hockey player, Pekka Hirvonen. The chapter presents his case, details of the multi-ligament knee injury he suffered, the role of athletic identity, pre-retirement planning, and coping skills in the process of transitioning out of sport. These factors are then further explained through Taylor and Ogilvie’s (1994) conceptual model of adaptation to career transition. Based on the above, an interprofessonal plan of care was developed, and the case was evaluated from the perspective of those involved: a licenced psychologist, his wife, and coach. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations, and provides an update of…

Associations between Mental Well-being and Personality from a Llife Span Perspective

2015

The associations between personality traits and mental well-being are analyzed using data from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (initial N = 369; 53% males). At ages 33/36 to 50, the NEO-PI and Scales of Psychological and Social Well-Being as well as indicators of emotional well-being were administered. At ages 8 and 14, socioemotional behaviors were assessed by teachers. First, both genders show high relative continuity in the Big Five personality traits and mental well-being during mid-adulthood. Second, the developmental course of neuroticism and extraversion during mid-adulthood is similar to that of psychological well-being: over 80% of the partici…
