Coaches’ Perceptions of Athletes’ Psychobiosocial States : The Case of Three Tennis Coach-Athlete Dyads
2018
Considering the limited attention paid to interpersonal aspects of emotions, this study explored coaches’ perceptions of athletes’ performance-related states and how they used this information for its regulation. Using a case study approach, three coach-athlete dyads from competitive tennis took part in one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Individualized profiling of psychobiosocial states was used to assess athletes’ states in most and least successful performances and as a way of data triangulation. Findings indicated that the coaches paid attention to bodily, motor-behavioural, and operational components of a performance state, and used this information to appropriately adapt their res…
Self-Regulation in High-Level Ice Hockey Players: An Application of the MuSt Theory
2021
The purpose of the study was to examine the validity of core action elements and feeling states in ice hockey players in the prediction of performance. A second aim of the study was to explore the effectiveness of a 30-day program targeting action and emotion regulation. Participants were male ice hockey players drawn from two teams competing at the highest level of the junior Finnish ice hockey league. They were assigned to a self-regulation (n = 24) and a control (n = 19) group. The self-regulation program focused on the recreation of optimal execution of core action elements and functional feeling states. Separate repeated measures MANOVAs indicated significant differences in ratings of …
Zachowania zdrowotne a poczucie własnej skuteczności i kontrola emocji u pacjentów z chorobami nowotworowymi
2018
Wprowadzenie. Indywidualne cechy osobowości każdego człowieka warunkują odmienną reakcję na wiadomość o chorobie nowotworowej, wpływają na wyniki jej leczenia, dalsze rokowanie, a także jakość życia chorego. W tym kontekście istotną rolę odgrywają zdolności kontroli emocji oraz poczucie własnej skuteczności, które jest siłą przekonania, że poprzez realizację określonych działań można osiągnąć wyznaczone cele. Cel. Ocena związku pomiędzy poczuciem własnej skuteczności, kontrolą emocji a zachowaniami zdrowotnymi u pacjentów cierpiących z powodu choroby nowotworowej. Materiały i metody. Badaniem objęto 148 chorych leczonych onkologicznie, którzy odpowiedzieli na pytania zawarte w metryczce ora…
The Role of Surface Acting in the Relationship between Job Stressors, General Health and Need for Recovery Based on the Frequency of Interactions at …
2022
The aim of the study was to verify whether the frequency of face-to-face interactions with the public at work can reveal differences in how people react to emotional regulation demands. In particular, we investigated the mediating role of surface acting (a strategy of dealing with emotional dissonance) in the relationship between two typical job stressors (workload and mental load) and two outcomes closely related to work-related well-being: employees’ general health and the need for recovery. Prior studies investigating the detrimental effects of emotional dissonance mostly focused on service workers. However, in light of a survey conducted by the European Agency for Safety and Health at W…
”Lauluja surullisin sävelin elämästä luopumisesta” : musiikki kuoleman ja surun merkityksellistäjänä suomalaisten suremisessa ja siihen liittyvissä r…
2018
Musiikkia on käytetty kuolemaan liittyvissä rituaaleissa läpi ihmiskunnan historian. Musiikin avulla eri yhteisöt eri aikoina ja eri puolilla maailmaa ovat ilmaisseet menetyksen aiheuttamaa surua ja tarjonneet terapeuttista tukea menetyksestä selviämiseen. Monet käyttävät musiikkia säännöllisesti itsesäätelytarkoituksissa ja tunnetyöskentelyn apuvälineenä. Huolimatta siitä, että ihmisten tiedetään hakevan musiikista lohtua erityisesti vaikeiden elämäntilanteiden aikoihin, ei kuolemaan ja suremiseen liittyvää systemaattista musiikkipsykologian tutkimusta ole juurikaan tehty. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarkastella musiikin merkityksiä ja funktioita kuolemaan liittyvissä elämäntilante…
Dog-Owner Relationship, Owner Interpretations and Dog Personality Are Connected with the Emotional Reactivity of Dogs
2022
Simple Summary The relationship between owner and the dog affects the dog's attachment behaviors and stress coping. In turn, the quality of the relationship may affect owner's interpretations about their dog's behavior. Here, we assessed dogs' emotional responses from heart rate variability and behavioral changes during five different situations. Dog owners evaluated the emotion (valence and arousal) of their dog after each situation. We found that both negative and positive incidents provoked signs of emotional arousal in dogs. Owners detected the dog's arousal especially during fear- and stress-evoking situations. The dog-owner relationship did not affect owners' interpretation of dogs' e…
Estimating Stress in Online Meetings by Remote Physiological Signal and Behavioral Features
2022
Work stress impacts people’s daily lives. Their well-being can be improved if the stress is monitored and addressed in time. Attaching physiological sensors are used for such stress monitoring and analysis. Such approach is feasible only when the person is physically presented. Due to the transfer of the life from offline to online, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, remote stress measurement is of high importance. This study investigated the feasibility of estimating participants’ stress levels based on remote physiological signal features (rPPG) and behavioral features (facial expression and motion) obtained from facial videos recorded during online video meetings. Remote physiological sign…
Using altered states of consciousness in improvisational music therapy : the potential of resonance frequency breathing
2018
Improvisational music therapy is a type of creative arts therapy in which clients are encouraged to express themselves through the symbolic and non-verbal medium of music, by creating free music improvisations together with the therapist. The present research aims at investigating whether the efficacy of this method can be further enhanced by purposefully accessing the ego-quieting properties of altered states of consciousness. This work proceeds in three main steps. First, the notions of consciousness and its alteration are examined and reformulated, resulting in a more comprehensive theoretical model. Then, existing methods for inducing altered states of consciousness are evaluated in ter…
Sensitivity analysis of Gaussian processes for oceanic chlorophyll prediction
2015
Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for machine learning has lately been successfully introduced for chlorophyll content mapping from remotely sensed data. The method provides a fast, stable and accurate prediction of biophysical parameters. However, since GPR is a non-linear kernel regression method, the relevance of the features are not accessible. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach for feature sensitivity analysis (SA) of the GPR in order to reveal the relative importance of the features (bands) being used in the regression process. We evaluated the SA on GPR ocean chlorophyll content prediction. The method revealed the importance of the spectral bands, thus allowing the …
Synchrotron x-ray transmission measurements and modeling of filters investigated for Athena
2020
International audience; Advanced Telescope for High-Energy Astrophysics is a large-class astrophysics space mission selected by the European Space Agency to study the theme "Hot and Energetic Universe." The mission essentially consists of a large effective area x-ray telescope and two detectors: the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) and the Wide Field Imager (WFI). Both instruments require filters to shield from out-of-band radiation while providing high transparency to x-rays. The mission is presently in phase B; thus, to consolidate the preliminary design, investigated filter materials need to be properly characterized by experimental test campaigns. We report results from high-resolution…
