Effects of an Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention on Children’s Quality of Life
2022
AbstractThe present study examined if an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)–based online intervention for parents had indirect effects on their children’s quality of life mediated by changes in parental well-being, psychological flexibility and mindfulness skills. Participants were 74 adults, who either received an ACT-based guided online intervention or were allocated to the wait list control group, and their children (n = 66) who had type 1 diabetes or functional disabilities. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and a bias-corrected bootstrap approach were applied to examine the indirect effects of the treatment on children’s quality of life through changes in parents’ well-being and …
Physical activity accumulation along the intensity spectrum differs between children and adults
2021
Purpose Detailed exploration of physical activity accumulation with fine grading along the intensity spectrum has indicated the potential pragmatic utility of such an approach. However, it is currently unclear what sorts of accumulation patterns along particular intensity bands are found in the children and adult populations. Therefore, we conducted a comparison of activity accumulation in specific intensity bands between four distinct populations: children, adults with sedentary lifestyles, habitual joggers, habitual marathon runners. Methods Free-living waist-worn accelerometry records from 28 children aged 7 to 11, and 61 adults aged 25 to 35 were analysed. Activity intensity was evaluat…
Associations of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Adiposity With Arterial Stiffness and Arterial Dilatation Capacity in Response to a Bout of Exercise in…
2019
Purpose: To investigate the associations of directly measured peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) and body fat percentage (BF%) with arterial stiffness and arterial dilatation capacity in children. Methods: Findings are based on 329 children (177 boys and 152 girls) aged 8–11 years. V˙O2peak was assessed by a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer and scaled by lean body mass (LM). BF% and LM were measured by bioelectrical impedance. Stiffness index (measure of arterial stiffness) and change in reflection index (ΔRI, measure of arterial dilatation capacity) were assessed by pulse contour analysis. Data were analyzed by linear regression models. Results: VO2peak/LM was positive…
Interpretation, Negotiation, Play
2022
Augmented reality (AR) picturebooks combine printed children's literature with augmented reality. This study examines the shared reading of the Finnish AR picturebook Mur, eli karhu (2016) by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko. The main aim of the study is to explore the playful reading experience of three Finnish families with children between the ages of 4 and 6. Three main categories of engagement with the book are discussed in the article: interpretation, negotiation, and play. The findings of the study suggest that children are skilled users of mobile digital media but may not understand the content of AR without parental mediation. In addition, parents and educators are required to have su…
Luokanopettajien ja neljäsluokkalaisten lasten käsityksiä aggressiivisuudesta, sen hallinnasta ja ennaltaehkäisystä

A three-level analysis of reactive aggression among children
2003
Lasten aggressiivinen käytös kuvaa henkilökohtaisen edun tavoittelemista tai puolustamista keinoin, jotka aiheuttavat tahallista vahinkoa muille lapsille. Aggressiivinen käytös saa tavallisesti aikaan yhteisen leikin tai muun toiminnan päättymisen.Petri Juujärven kokeelliseen tutkimusasetelmaan perustunut väitös osoitti, että aggressiivista käytöstä voi selittää yksilöllisillä taipumuksilla voimakkaaseen kielteisen tunteiden viriämiseen ja virinneiden tunteiden heikkoon säätelemiseen, mutta kielteisten seurausten todennäköisyyden muunteleminen vaikutti käyttäytymiseen suotuisasti. The present series of studies sought to confirm the hypothesis that simulated physical proactive aggression wou…
Äiti on aina äiti : tutkimus aikuisen lapsen äitiydestä
2008
Äidin ja lapsen välinen suhde on pysyvimpiä ihmissuhteita. Äidin ja alaikäisen lapsen välistä suhdetta on tutkittu paljon. Sen sijaan äidin ja aikuisen lapsen välistä suhdetta ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Sitä on käsitelty joidenkin tutkimuksien osana, mutta varsinaista omaa tutkimusta aiheesta on tehty vain vähän. Yleisesti on kuitenkin tiedossa, että äidit kohdistavat huolenpitoaan myös täysi-ikäisiin lapsiinsa. Suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa nuoret aikuiset muuttavat yleensä aikaisessa vaiheessa asumaan itsenäisesti. Itsenäistymisvaiheessa vanhempien antamalla emotionaalisella tuella ja konkreettisella avulla on tärkeä merkitys nuoren pärjäämisen kannalta. Tutkimusaineistonani käytin Yhteisk…
Tasapainoilua : tutkielma naisten ja aikuisten lasten välisestä sukupolvisuhteesta
2007
Käsillä olevassa pro gradu tutkielmassa on tarkasteltu 50–65 -vuotiaiden naisten ajatuksia suhteestaan aikuisiin lapsiinsa sekä sitä, millaiseen asemaan naiset sijoittavat itsensä tässä suhteessa. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on ollut selvittää suhteen merkitystä, mitkä asiat vaikuttavat suhteen muotoutumiseen ja millaisia sisältöjä siinä on. Auttaminen, auttamisen rajat ja perustelut auttamiselle ja sen rajoille ovat olleet kiinnostuksen kohteena. Tutkimuskysymyksiä on tarkasteltu naisten näkökulmasta. Aineistona on käytetty 103 kyselylomaketta, joissa naiset ovat avokysymyksiin vastaten kertoneet suhteestaan aikuisiin lapsiinsa. Tutkimusmenetelmä on ollut pääosin laadullinen, luokittelun ja t…
A life time in exile : Finnish war children in Sweden after the war : an interview study with a psychological and psychodynamic approach
2018
This study is based upon in-depth interviews with ten Finnish war children who were evacuated to Sweden during the Second World War (1939 -1944) and who did not return permanently to Finland after the war. This interpretative and qualitative interview study of war children seems to be the only one of its kind. The interviews were carried out in 2007 in Stockholm. At the time of the evacuation nine of the children were between two and five years of age and one was seven years old. At the time of the interviews they were approaching their seventieth birthday. The interviewees were asked to tell about their life. The method for this study was an application of Grounded Theory and Adult Attachm…
Longitudinal physical activity trajectories from childhood to adulthood and their determinants : The Young Finns Study
2018
Determining lifelong physical activity (PA) trajectories and their determinants is essential to promote a physically active lifestyle throughout the life-course. We aimed to identify PA trajectories from childhood to midlife and their determinants in a longitudinal population-based cohort. This study is a part of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study. From 1980, a population-based cohort (N = 3596; 1764 boys/1832 girls, age 3-18 years) has been followed up for 31 years. PA indices were formed based on self-reported data (between age 9-49 years) on frequency, duration, and intensity of leisure (during childhood) or high-intensity (at later age) PA and on sports club participation/comp…
