Early Health, Risk Aversion and Stock Market Participation
2019
To examine the relationship between early health status and financial decisions in adulthood, we link information on birth weight in 1966 from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort to data from the Finnish Central Securities Depository over the period of 19952010. We find that persons predisposed to poor health status in early childhood (indicated by low birth weight) avoid participating in the stock market in adulthood. The link between birth weight and stock market participation is partially explained by the fact that poor early health status leads to risk aversion. Early health status is not significantly related to the portfolio’s value-growth tilt. nonPeerReviewed
Linguistic, Contextual, and Experiential Equivalence Issues in the Adaptation of a Performance-Based Assessment of Generic Skills in Higher Education
2022
This qualitative study investigated the various linguistic, contextual, and experiential equivalence issues embedded in a performance-based instrument aimed at assessing generic skills in higher education. A rigorous translation and adaptation process (American English to Finnish) was conducted on one instrument, namely Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International. The data were obtained from cognitive laboratories (n = 13), with think-alouds and follow-up interviews conducted among Finnish undergraduate students. Content logs were created, and the data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that linguistic and contextual equivalence issues were more prominent than experie…
Accounting in Identity Regulation : Producing the Appropriate Worker
2021
It is acknowledged that identity regulation in organizations relies on discursive resources. This study moves beyond discourse – illustrating how discourse and accounting measurements are mobilized together in revising identity. Measurement produces persistence, clarity, transparency and comparability, as well as direction: Accounting’s quantitative knowledge ‘amplifies’ discourse. We explain the Great Alliance between words and numbers in a case study addressing events in an organization’s transformation. This extends our understanding of what takes place on the interface between identity and accounting. peerReviewed
Face and Content Validity of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence in Young Children
2022
An international group of experts have developed a pictorial tool to measure perceived water competence for children aged from 5 to 8 years old: the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence (PSPWC). The aim of the present study was to verify the validity of this tool. In the first part of the study, 120 children were interviewed to investigate face validity of the PSPWC to ensure that all pictorial items were understandable. In the second part of the study, 13 scientific and/or pedagogical international experts were invited to assess the tool’s content validity via an online survey. Face validity results revealed that children were able to understand and sequence correctly the aq…
Taustamusiikin äänenvoimakkuuden vaikutus asiakkaiden kokemuksiin ravintolan viihtyisyydestä
2012
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin taustamusiikkia ja sen äänenvoimakkuuden yhteyttä ravintolan viihtyisyyteen ja tunnelmaan. Tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko taustamusiikin äänenvoimakkuudella vaikutusta ravintolan koettuun viihtyisyyteen ja muuttuvatko ravintolan saamat viihtyisyysarviot, jos taustamusiikkia ei ole lainkaan. Lisäksi selvitettiin, onko asiakkaan henkilökohtaisilla ominaisuuksilla, kuten iällä ja sukupuolella, yhteyttä siihen, millaiseksi ravintolan viihtyisyys koetaan taustamusiikin soidessa voimakkaasti tai hiljaa tai kun musiikkia ei ole lainkaan. Tutkimus toteutettiin kyselymenetelmällä, ja aineistoa analysoitiin määrällisin menetelmin. Aineisto muodostui asiakastyytyväisyysk…
