From Country Girl in Southern Finland to Longitudinal Research into Alternatives to Aggression and Violence
2021
Lea Pulkkinen, born in Finland in 1939, is Emerita Professor of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). She is best known for creating the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JLSPSD). The study was specifically intended to test the hypothesis that the human brain allows for more variation in behavior than the simple ‘fight or flight’ response observed in animal studies of aggression. She further hypothesized that humans’ capacity for cognitive control over emotional behavior was the key factor involved in controlling aggressive behavior. These hypotheses led her to devise an impulse control model to depict behavioral alternatives, which s…
Emotional self-regulation through music in 3-8-year-old children
2009
The current study explored the role of music in children’s emotional self-regulation. Music is shown to be a common and effective way of self-regulating emotions in adolescence and adulthood. It is also widely known that parents use music to regulate the emotions of their babies, for instance in calming them down by lullabies. However, very little is known about how children themselves use music for emotional needs, and how the self-regulatory emotional engagement develops. A survey study was conducted with parents of 63 children including 37 boys and 26 girls, aged between 2.9 to 8.1 years. The parents answered questions about their child’s musical activities, preferences, and emotion-regu…
Strategies and mechanisms in musical affect self-regulation: A new model
2017
This study aimed at investigating the associations between regulation strategies and musical mechanisms involved in musical affect self-regulation. A sample of 571 participants was collected and the data regarding the reported strategies and mechanisms were analysed using correspondence analysis (CA). Three bipolar dimensions – cognition, feelings, and body – were retained for interpretation, thus revealing six contrasting strategic uses of music: cognitive work, entertainment, affective work, distraction, revival, and focus on situation. Clear associations between strategies and mechanisms emerged from the CA, connecting cognitive, feelings-focused, and situational processing with individ…
Rivalutare i sensi e la sensibilità
2019
I sensi sono il primo originario legame con il mondo, ci ricordano che siamo per sempre legati alla realtà esterna. I sensi e la sensibilità sono le vie che abbiamo a disposizione per percepire la realtà. Si tratta anzitutto di impedire che i sensi possano essere ridotti a semplici strumenti, a meccanismi operativi, a mezzi di collegamento. L’azione dei sensi non è mai neutra e inefficace: o conduce verso la crescita della persona nel rispetto della verità o porta, al contrario, verso la non verità, verso la deformazione e contraffazione dell’io. L’invito a coltivare i sensi, uno ad uno, per una conquista di una reale maturità affettiva non può che concludersi con la proposta di un solido i…
Motions with Emotions? : A Phenomenological Approach to Understanding the Simulated Aliveness of a Robot Body
2019
This article examines how the interactive capabilities of companion robots, particularly their materiality and animate movements, appeal to human users and generate an image of aliveness. Building on Husserl’s phenomenological notion of a ‘double body’ and theories of emotions as affective responses, we develop a new understanding of the robots’ simulated aliveness. Analyzing empirical findings of a field study on the use of the robot Zora in care homes for older people, we suggest that the aliveness of companion robots is the result of a combination of four aspects: 1) material ingredients, 2) morphology, 3) animate movements guided by software programs and human operators as in Wizard of …
Sosioemotionaalisten taitojen tukeminen sosiodraamaan perustuvassa lasten toiminnallisessa pienryhmässä
2012
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin lasten sosioemotionaalisten taitojen kehittymistä lasten toiminnallisessa pienryhmässä. Pienryhmään kuului seitsemän (7) lasta ja sen toiminta perustui sovellettuun sosiodraamaan. Sosioemotionaalisten taitojen alueelta tarkasteltaviksi taidoiksi määrittyivät lasten kehitystarpeiden mukaan itsesäätely, tunteiden säätely, omien tunteiden tunnistaminen sekä empatiataito. Lisäksi selvitimme siirtyvätkö ryhmässä opitut taidot ryhmän ulkopuolelle kouluympäristöön ja miksi ryhmään osallistuneet lapset hyötyivät ryhmän toiminnasta eri tavoin. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena tapaustutkimuksena, joka sisälsi toimintatutkimuksen piirteitä. Osallistuimme pienryhmään…
The role of adolescents' temperament in their positive and negative emotions as well as in psychophysiological reactions during achievement situations
2019
Abstract This study examined the role of adolescents' (n = 190) temperament in their emotional reactions in achievement situations. Adolescents rated their temperament (i.e., surgency/extraversion, negative affectivity, effortful control) and completed achievement tasks in Grade 6. They also reported their emotions before and during challenging and non-challenging tasks. In addition, adolescents' autonomic nervous system reactions (i.e., skin conductance levels) were recorded. The results showed that high effortful control was related to higher levels of positive emotions independent of the degree of task difficulty. Low negative affectivity and high effortful control were related to lower …

Social-Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Emotion Perception in Daily Life and in a Formal Assessm…
2022
AbstractChildren with neurodevelopmental disorders often have social-emotional and behavioural difficulties. The present study explored these difficulties in children (n = 50, aged 6–10 years) with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and developmental language disorder. Parents, teachers and therapists evaluated children’s social-emotional and behavioural difficulties through a self-devised questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Additionally, the children, along with their typically developing age peers (n = 106), completed six emotion discrimination tasks. Analysis revealed some impaired emotion discrimination skills that were predict…
