Treating cockroach phobia using a serious game on a mobile phone and augmented reality exposure: A single case study
2011
In vivo exposure has proved its efficacy in the treatment of specific phobias; however, not all patients benefit from it. Communication and information technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have improved exposure treatment adherence and acceptance. Serious games (SG) could also be used in order to facilitate exposure treatment. A line of research on SG is emerging which focuses on health issues. We have developed a SG for the treatment of cockroach phobia that uses a mobile phone as the application device. This work examines results of an N = 1 study about whether the use of this mobile game can facilitate treatment of this specific phobia preparing her for th…
Enhancing the efficacy of integrative improvisational music therapy in the treatment of depression : study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
2019
Abstract Background Depression is among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Not all people with depression respond adequately to standard treatments. An innovative therapy that has shown promising results in controlled trials is music therapy. Based on a previous trial that suggested beneficial effects of integrative improvisational music therapy (IIMT) on short and medium-term depression symptoms as well as anxiety and functioning, this trial aims to determine potential mechanisms of and improvements in its effects by examining specific variations of IIMT. Methods/design A 2 × 2 factorial randomised controlled trial will be carried out at a single centre in Finland involving 68 adu…

Music Therapy for Depression Enhanced With Listening Homework and Slow Paced Breathing: A Randomised Controlled Trial
2021
Introduction: There is evidence from earlier trials for the efficacy of music therapy in the treatment of depression among working-age people. Starting therapy sessions with relaxation and revisiting therapeutic themes outside therapy have been deemed promising for outcome enhancement. However, previous music therapy trials have not investigated this issue.Objective: To investigate the efficacy of two enhancers, resonance frequency breathing (RFB) and listening homework (LH), when combined with an established music therapy model (trial registration number ISRCTN11618310).Methods: In a 2 × 2 factorial randomised controlled trial, working-age individuals with depression were allocated into gr…
How do parents help? : Parental involvement in children s learning of German as an A2-language
2010
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli saada selville kuinka kuudesluokkalaisten saksanopiskelijoiden vanhemmat auttavat lapsiaan saksan kotitehtävien teossa ja kokeisiin lukemisessa. Tutkimuksessa pohdittiin, kenen aloitteesta lapsia autetaan, mitä mieltä lapset ovat vanhempiensa avusta ja mistä syistä vanhemmat mahdollisesti eivät auta lapsiaan. Vanhempien lastensa koulunkäyntiin osallistumisen positiiviset vaikutukset on jo todistettu monessa tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa, mutta vanhempien osallistumista A-saksan lukijoiden opiskeluun ei juuri ole tutkittu. Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin myös selvittämään voisiko vanhempien aktiivisuus/epäaktiivisuus vaikuttaa siihen, että saksaa opiskelevien koulu…
The interplay between maternal homework involvement, task-avoidance, and achievement among adolescents.
2021
This study examined three aspects of maternal homework involvement (i.e., the quantity, quality, and source of initiative) and their direct and indirect associations with adolescents’ task-avoidant behavior in homework situations and academic achievement. The sample consisted of Finnish mothers and their adolescents who were transitioning from primary to lower secondary school. Mothers rated the quantity of their homework involvement (i.e., monitoring and help), quality of their homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control), and source of initiative (i.e., mother- vs. adolescent-initiated monitoring and help) at the beginning of Grade 6. They also reported on adole…
Factors psicosocials rellevants en la violència de preadolescents i adolescents escolaritzats
2010
A pesar de la considerable evidència acumulada sobre els efectes de la violència en els mitjans, encara hi ha controvèrsia sobre el tema. La comunitat científica debat la influència de la TV i els videojocs en el comportament dels subjectes (vid. Kids, TV viewing, andaggressivebehavior, Science (Letters) 297, 49-50, 2002). Aquells que s'oposen al fet que la TV i els videojocs tenen influència sobre el comportament agressiu, defensen que la causalitat no es pot establir tan fàcilment, ja que als individus violents els agradarà més veure actes agressius en TV i que estiguen presents en els videojocs. En l'actual estudi realitzat amb escolars preadolescents i adolescents 'amb una grandària de …
Scaffolding for motivation by parents, and child homework motivations and emotions: Effects of a training programme
2018
Background and aims Based on the principles of scaffolding for motivation and on the assumptions of self-determination theory, two studies aimed to assess the role played by perceived parental autonomy-supportive scaffolding on child homework autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, affect, and engagement. Samples and results The results of Study 1, which involved 122 parents and their children, showed that the higher the parental autonomous motivation, the more their children perceived them as autonomy-supportive while scaffolding for motivation, and hence developed autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, and engagement in homework. In Study 2, 37 parents were involved in a four-session trainin…
Evaluation of the effects of a program of "homework" for the maintenance of the outcomes achieved at three months after discharge from integrated hom…
2010
When the rehabilitation treatment performed in the acute phase of illness is over, in our experience, the majority of patients do not continue the rehabilitation exercises thus risking a reduction in the ability retrieved and increasing disability. So despite the achievements with the rehabilitation treatment at home, discharge the patients could produce a worsening of their disability. In order to encourage patients to continue physical exercise after discharge from integrated home care, we proposed a personalized exercise program to be carried out at home. We evaluated after three months effectiveness in order to sustain the degree of self-sufficiency and the health reached at discharge
Why do boys and girls perform differently on PISA Reading in Finland? The effects of reading fluency, achievement behaviour, leisure reading and home…
2018
The present study examined gender gap in Program for International St udentAssessment (PISA) Reading and mediators of the gender gap in a Finnish sample(n = 1,309). We examined whether the gender gap in PISA Reading performancecan be understood via the effects of reading fl uency, achievement behaviour (masteryorientation and task-avoidant behaviour) or the amount of time spent with leisurereading and homework. Girls outperformed boys in all measures except forachievement behaviour. The models explaining PISA Reading were not different:For boys and girls, reading fluency, mastery orientation, leisure book reading andhomework explained the variance in PISA Reading scores. The gender effect on …
