A test of the relationship between argumentativeness, individualism/collectivism, and conflict style preference in the United States and Finland
2016
This study explored relationships between argumentativeness and collectivism/individualism in Finland and the United States. Data were gathered in the United States (n = 412) and Finland (n = 261). The analysis suggested: (a) collectivism was negatively correlated with argumentativeness, (b) individualism was positively correlated with argumentativeness, and (c) Finnish participants reported lower levels of argumentativeness than Americans. Cultural differences between the United States and Finland are discussed as reasons for the differences between the nations on argumentativeness. peerReviewed
Universalisti vai suoriutuja : suomalaisten jakautuminen Shalon Schwartzin arvotypologiaan sosiodemografisten taustamuuttujien valossa
2015
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää kuinka suomalaiset jakautuvat sosiodemografisten taustamuuttujien mukaan sosiaalipsykologi ja arvotutkija Shalom Schwartzin kymmmenen arvon arvotypologiaan. Sosiodemografisina taustamuuttujina tutkimuksessa ovat mm. ikä, sukupuoli, tulotaso sekä työantajasektori.

Arvoja tutkimalla tuotetaan tarkkaa tieto…
A cultural comparison study of smartphone adoption in Uzbekistan, South Korea and Turkey

Smartphone popularity is increasing due to the technological advances that mean manufacturers can make more sophisticated devices, and telecommunication companies can provide better connections. Gartner reported that 403 million smartphones were sold in the fourth quarter of 2015, a 9.7% increase over the same period in 2014. It is a common perception that users tend to utilise advanced technology to increase productivity. However, there are studies indicating quite opposite or alternatively slow rates of adoption. To avoid this, companies invest in studying consumer behaviour. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of drivers and cultural differences on smartphone acceptance in…
Profiles of Parental Burnout Around the Globe : Similarities and Differences Across 36 Countries
2023
Parental burnout (PB) is a pervasive phenomenon. Parenting is embedded in cultural values, and previous research has shown the role of individualism in PB. In this paper, we reanalyze previously collected data to identify profiles based on the four dimensions of PB, and explore whether these profiles vary across countries’ levels of collectivistic-individualistic (COL-IND) values. Our sample comprised 16,885 individuals from 36 countries (73% women; 27% men), and we used a latent profile approach to uncover PB profiles. The findings showed five profiles: Fulfilled, Not in PB, Low risk of PB, High risk of PB and Burned out. The profiles pointed to climbing levels of PB in the total sample an…
