Mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisen (MIHA) ohjelman vaikuttavuus työuupumusoireiden lievittäjänä : tutkimusyhteenveto Muupu-hankkeesta
2016
Työuupumuksen lievittämiseksi on alettu maailmalla käyttää mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisia (MIHA) -menetelmiä. Muupu-tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, voidaanko uudenlaisella, kahdeksanviikkoisella MIHA- ohjelmalla lievittää työuupumusoireita tehokkaasti. Ohjelma toteutettiin ryhmä- ja verkkointervention yhdistelmänä. Muupu-tutkimuksessa selvitettiin sekä ohjelman vaikuttavuutta että sen vaikutusmekanismeja. 218 tutkittavaa satunnaistettiin kahteen ryhmään: MIHA-interventioryhmään ja tavanomaista tukea (TAV) saavien ryhmään. Tutkimuksessa hyödynnettiin myös pilottiryhmän (n = 24) ja heidän vastinpariensa (n = 24) kyselyvastauksia. Noin 80 % tutkittavista oli naisia, ja yli…
Mobile Technology Adoption and the Effects of Cultural Factors
2019
Mobile technologies are an important part of human life in both the personal and professional realms. Many services (banking, news, health, education, etc.) that traditionally offered either face-to-face, telephone, or other conventional platforms and technologies are now establishing services on mobile platforms as well. Mobile gadgets are now also being used by company employees as sales automation tools. The importance of culture in technology adoption and usage has been well-established. The adoption of any technology includes a set of factors that determine if the technology is either accepted or rejected, and the individual strengths of these determining factors may vary greatly, depe…

Gender differences in usage and user experience of Oiva App
2015
Previous research has indicated that gender is an important demographic to consider when designing effective and tailored technology interventions. Despite this need, gender differences is still an understudied topic in the field of technology interventions. The objective of this study was to study gender differences in usage and user experience of a mental wellness app called Oiva. Gender differences in the app’s effect on the participants’ mental well-being were also investigated. Oiva is a stand-alone mental wellness app that aims to increase its users’ psychological flexibility by teaching Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based skills. The study population of the current study wa…

Behavioural and emotional strengths of sociometrically popular, rejected, controversial, neglected, and average children
2019
Many behavioural and emotional characteristics are associated with children’s peer relationships. 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…
Off on the wrong foot : Task avoidance at the outset of primary school anticipates academic difficulties and declining peer acceptance
2021
The present study examined the academic antecedents of declining peer social status. Participants included 545 (311 boys, 234 girls) Finnish students followed from the 1st through the 4th grade (ages 6–8 at outset). Each year, teachers completed assessments of academic task avoidance and students completed standardized measures of reading and math achievement. Acceptance was assayed through peer nominations. Supporting the hypothesized model, the results indicated that a lack of interest and motivation at the outset of primary school leads to a downward spiral of academic difficulties and diminished peer acceptance. Specifically, academic task avoidance in 1st and 2nd grade anticipated decl…
