How the unbanked cope with financial exclusion: Evidence from Pakistan
2016
This article investigates both the coping strategies employed by low-income unbanked consumers in Pakistan and the consequences of those strategies. Qualitative data were gathered from low-income unbanked consumers through in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that unbanked consumers utilize their respective social networks and various market and personal resources to cope with financial exclusion. The utilization of social network resources to cope with financial exclusion typically enabled participants to fulfill their obligations in a positive manner and enhanced solidarity and trust among group members, whereas the use of market and personal resources tended to produce more negative…
To Help or Not to Help? Prosocial Behavior, Its Association With Well-Being, and Predictors of Prosocial Behavior During the Coronavirus Disease Pand…
2022
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic fundamentally disrupted humans’ social life and behavior. Public health measures may have inadvertently impacted how people care for each other. This study investigated prosocial behavior, its association well-being, and predictors of prosocial behavior during the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and sought to understand whether region-specific differences exist. Participants (N = 9,496) from eight regions clustering multiple countries around the world responded to a cross-sectional online-survey investigating the psychological consequences of the first upsurge of lockdowns in spring 2020. Prosocial behavior was reported to occur frequently. Multi…

Participants' outcome expectations and changes in well-being and ill-being in mindfulness based intervention for burnout
2015
Tietoisuustaitopohjaisten interventioiden tuloksellisuudesta työuupumuksen hoidossa Suomessa on vielä vähän tutkimustietoa. Hoitoa koskevien odotusten yhteyttä hoidon tuloksellisuuteen tietoisuustaitopohjaisissa interventioissa on myös tutkittu vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarkastella tietoisuustaito-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaiseen menetelmään perustuvaan ja työuupumuksen hoitoon tarkoitettuun Muupu-interventioon osallistuneiden (n = 88) psyykkisen hyvinvoinnin ja työpahoinvoinnin muutoksia sekä hoitoa koskevien odotusten yhteyttä näihin muutoksiin. Itsearvioitua psyykkisen hyvinvoinnin muutosta mitattiin emotionaalisen-, psykologisen- ja sosiaalisen hyvinvoinnin mittareilla. …
Informal learning and wellbeing outcomes of gameplay and their associations with gameplay motivation
2023
Educational functions of digital games are often seen only in the light of the serious and purposeful activities that aim for learning outcomes, in contrast with noneducational games that are designed for entertainment. The focus of this paper is in studying players’ learning outcomes from playing non-educational games, and how these relate to wellbeing outcomes of playing, and gaming motivation. The data for this study was collected via a survey (N = 1,202) in the United Kingdom and the United States. The survey respondents answered the question regarding what players perceive they have learnt by playing digital games. A generic datadriven qualitative content analysis of the responses to t…
Change and stability of sense of coherence in adulthood: Longitudinal evidence from the Healthy Child study
2007
Abstract The main aim of this three-wave 35-year follow-up study among Finnish employees ( n = 532) was to investigate whether Sense of Coherence (SOC) is more stable among those with high SOC compared to those with low SOC, as hypothesized by Antonovsky [Antonovsky, A. (1987). Unraveling the mystery of health: how people manage stress and stay well. San Francisco, CA, US: Jossey-Bass], using two measurement points over 13 years. The participants were first studied in adolescence in 1961–1963, after which they responded to two postal questionnaires measuring SOC, first in 1985, and again in 1998. The results of the Factor Mixture Modeling identified two groups of individuals with different…
Aktiivinen ja hyvinvoiva korkeakoulu -kyselyn tuloksia keväältä 2022
2022
Liikkuva opiskelu -ohjelman myötä myös korkeakouluopiskelijoiden opiskelupäivän aikaiseen liikkumiseen ja paikallaanoloon on alettu kiinnittämään enemmän huomiota. Opiskelupäivien ja oppituntien aktivointi nähdään tarpeellisena, sillä vain puolet opiskelijoista liikkuu liikkumissuosituksiin nähden tarpeeksi. Myös istumista kertyy korkeakouluopiskelijoille lähes 11 tuntia päivittäin, ja iso osa tästä määrästä kertyy nimenomaan opiskelupäivän aikana. Istumisen vähentäminen ja opiskelupäivien aktivoiminen on perusteltua terveydellisistä syistä, mutta tauottamalla istumista tai aktivoimalla opetusta voidaan vaikuttaa myönteisesti myös opiskelijoiden jaksamiseen sekä opiskelukykyyn. Näihin teemo…
Aktywność celowa a dobrostan psychiczny
2020
The central problem dealt with in this monograph is the question connected with the possibilities of raising people’s psychological well-being. In recent years there has been a lot of research conducted which proved that taking up an intentional activity brings positive effects for the psychological well-being. Simultaneously, a good number of researchers adhere to the thesis advancing a steady potential level of happiness and the lack of possibility of its lasting change. The model of dependence between an intentional activity and well-being is founded on the conception of happiness deriving from the frontiers of eudaimonic and hedonic schools, whereas the theory consolidating the base of …
Ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of iodine ions using zirconium (IV)-enhanced oxidation
2022
Nuclear energy has significantly promoted the development of human society. However, nuclear pollution caused by nuclear accidents can lead to significant hazards to the environment and human health. As a major radioactive product, radioactive iodine (mainly existing as I−) detection has attracted significant attentions. In this study, zirconium(IV) is used to enhance the oxidation of environmental I− to form I2. Subsequently, the generated I2 oxidizes the chemical chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine, which is used for I− detection and realizes an ultralow limit of detection (LoD) of 0.176 nM. The LoD of our method, to the best of our knowledge, is the lowest among those of…
