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 …
The Role of Parental Support and the Students’ Opinions in Active Finnish Physical Education Homework
2022
Prior research indicates that adolescent boys are often more active than girls, implying a need for special attention to increase the physical activity levels of adolescent girls. Adolescents are at an age where they are especially susceptible to environmental and social influences but still have a limited amount of autonomy over their own behaviors. The effective physical activity programs implemented at this age may benefit health into adulthood. The fact that adolescents’ physical activity is influenced by many factors indicates that to achieve any behavioral change, interventions must target several levels across the socio-ecological model. During childhood, the family is the prim…
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…
Female Cyborgs, Gender Performance, and Utopian Gaze in Alex Garland’s Ex Machina
2020
The cyborg as a metaphor for cultural encodings of the interaction between humans and technology has been an accepted trope since the publication of Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto.” Alex Garland’s 2015 film Ex Machina shares many of its key themes and motifs with earlier science fiction films, from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. A first viewing of the film thus suggests an interpretation that focuses on the film’s portrayal of its female cyborgs Ava and Kyoko as another version of the “pleasure model” in the mode of Lang’s Maria or Scott’s Pris. However, it is the tension between Ava’s intelligence and visual attractiveness and her performance of a female gender …
Therapeutenbegleitete und patientengeleitete Exposition bei Panikstörung mit Agoraphobie
2016
Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die Exposition gilt als hoch wirksames Therapieelement in der Behandlung der Panikstörung mit Agoraphobie. Es ist jedoch weitgehend unklar, wie häufig und mit welchen Effekten verschiedene Modalitäten der Exposition (therapeutenbegleitet vs. patientengeleitet) in der Routineversorgung durchgeführt werden. Fragestellung: Es sollen Häufigkeit und Wirksamkeit der verschiedenen Durchführungsmodalitäten von Exposition in der Routinebehandlung der Panikstörung mit Agoraphobie untersucht werden. Methode: Bei N = 93 konsekutiven Patienten einer Hochschulambulanz mit der Hauptdiagnose Panikstörung mit Agoraphobie wurden Prä-Post-Veränderungen der Angstsym…
Reading and math skills development among Finnish primary school children before and after COVID-19 school closure
2022
AbstractThis study quantified the possible learning losses in reading and math skills among a sample of Finnish Grade 3 children (n = 198) who spent 8 weeks in distance learning during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020. We compared their reading and math skill development trajectories across Grades 1, 2, and 4 to a pre-COVID sample (N = 378). We also examined if gender, parental education, maternal homework involvement, and child’s task-avoidant behavior predict children’s academic skills at Grade 4 differently in the pre-COVID sample compared with the COVID sample. Children’s reading and math skills were tested, mothers reported their education and homework involvement…
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…
Mājas darbi matemātikā skolēnu patstāvīgā darba prasmju pilnveidei
2015
Bakalaura darba „Mājas darbi matemātikā skolēnu patstāvīgā darba prasmju pilnveidei” mērķis bija izpētīt informācijas avotus un autoru viedokļus par patstāvīgo darbu un mājas darbiem kā formu patstāvīgā darba prasmju attīstīšanai, mērķtiecīgi izstrādāt mājas darbus matemātikā, virzītus uz skolēnu patstāvīgā darba prasmju attīstīšanu, kā arī aprobēt tos un pētīt skolēnu attieksmi pret mājas darbu kā patstāvīgā darba veidu vienā Rīgas vidusskolas 10.klasē. Darbu veido trīs nodaļas, kurās tika analizēta teorija par patstāvīgo darbu, kā vienu no skolēnu kompetencēm matemātikā, par mājas darbiem patstāvīgā darba prasmju attīstīšanai un par mācību uzdevumiem mājās darbiem matemātikā, kā arī izstr…
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
The Role of Physical Education Homework to Adolescent Girls’ Physical Activity in Finland
2019
Introduction: There is an urgent need for active strategies to promote physical activity (PA) among female adolescents, as they are at greater risk of physical inactivity. In addition to Physical Education (PE) in school, to reach adequate levels of PA, young people need to participate in PA during the school day and/or after-school hours and/or in the before-school period. One week of objectively measured and self-reported information enlightens the status quo of adolescent girls’ PA and the role that PE homework plays. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine girls’ objectively measured PA in a lower secondary school as part of the Physical Education Homework Study, a project con…
