Is It Good To Be Good? Dispositional Compassion and Health Behaviors
2018
Background Despite the documented importance of dispositional compassions for a range of health-related outcomes, its role in predicting health behaviors remains unclear. Purpose This study examined the associations between dispositional compassion and three domains of health behavior, including physical activity, alcohol use, and smoking. Methods The participants (N = 1,279–1,913) were from the Finnish population-based Young Finns study. We collected self-reports of compassion in 1997 and 2011 and health behaviors in 2001, 2007, and 2011. In addition, an objective pedometer measure of physical activity was collected in 2011. Linear and logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the…
Temperament and Early Intentions to Retire
2019
Abstract Objective: To examine associations between temperament traits and early retirement intentions. Methods: In the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966, we analyzed early retirement intentions at the age 46 according to Cloninger temperament traits at the age 46 (n = 4409) and at the age 31 (n = 3226). Ordinal logistic regression analyses were used. Adjustments were made for marital status, education, work type, job satisfaction, perceived health, and mental health problems. Results: 11% of men and 9% of women had strong retirement intentions. Especially higher harm avoidance was associated with higher early retirement intentions in both sexes at the age of 46. A similar pattern of resul…
Cross-country variation in patience, persistent current account imbalances and the external wealth of nations
2022
This paper is the first to utilize large-scale international surveys on economic preferences to examine the long-run relationships between patience, current accounts and external wealth. We find robust empirical evidence that countries with more patient individuals tend to run persistent current account surpluses, which in turn result in the accumulation of foreign assets. This theoretically plausible but empirically unexplored relationship holds true for euro area current account imbalances, global current account imbalances and net foreign asset positions worldwide. While the existing current account literature concentrates on proximate macroeconomic determinants, this paper’s extension o…
Henkilöhahmon sisäinen konflikti Väinö Linnan romaanissa Tuntematon sotilas
2015
The object of this study is character´s internal conflict in the novel. The primary research question is: What are the internal conflicts of characters like in Väinö Linna’s novel The Unknown Soldier? An answer to the primary research question is sought by answering the following secondary research questions: What are the specific internal conflicts like? How do they manifest? What are the most important effects they have on the structure of the narrative? What kinds of groups of characters are possible to form? How could the traditional notion of characters internal conflict, as it is traditionally defined in literary studies, be developed? In this study, internal conflict takes place when…
In Search of Determinants of Time-Discounting in Monetary Choices : Personal Characteristics Matter Only a Little
2022
Time-discounting in monetary choices is determined by aspects related to the reward, contextual factors and characteristics of a person. In the present study, we used three datasets (Ndata1 = 419; Ndata2 = 485; Ndata3 = 240) to examine how well personal characteristics (sociodemographic, financial situation, self-control, cognitive abilities, negative experiencing, and trustfulness) predict time-discounting in both hypothetical and real reward scenarios. The results of the regression analyses indicate that the characteristics of a person only explain a small proportion of the variance in time-discounting (R2 ranged from .10 to .19). The only substantive predictors of time-discounting in mon…

Lapsen vahvuudet esiopetusvuoden pedagogisissa asiakirjoissa
2019
Vahvuusperustainen kasvatusajattelu on saanut viime vuosina Suomessa paljon huomiota. Vahvuuksien hyödyntäminen tukee lasten itsearvostusta, lisää myönteistä käyttäytymistä ryhmässä ja voi helpottaa vaikeuksien ja epäonnistumisten sietämistä. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelemme, millaisia vahvuuksia tehostettua tai erityistä tukea saavien lasten pedagogisissa asiakirjoissa kuvataan esiopetuksessa, miten vahvuuksista kirjoitetaan sekä millaisia tehtäviä lasten vahvuuksien kirjaamisella on. Tutkimuksen aineiston muodostavat esiopetuksen oppimissuunnitelmat, tehostetun tuen suunnitelmat ja HOJKS-asiakirjat (N = 65). Aineistolähtöisessä analyysissa vahvuuksiksi ymmärrettiin lapsen kyvyt, luonteen…
Positiivinen psykologia viestinnän voimavarana
2022
Positiivisen psykologian merkitys on kasvanut viime vuosien aikana tieteellisessä keskustelussa, työelämässä, opetussuunnitelmissa, koulutusohjelmissa ja mediassa. Positiivinen psykologia keskittyy onnellisuuden, hyvinvoinnin ja vahvuuksien – kukoistavan elämän – edistämiseen ja tieteelliseen tutkimiseen. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan positiivista psykologiaa poikkeusajan viestinnän ja tunnejohtamisen voimavarana. Artikkelissa keskitytään kolmeen positiivisen psykologian ydinteemaan: hyveajatteluun, luonteenvahvuuksiin ja resilienssiin. Hyveet tarjoavat toiminnan ohjenuoran, luonteenvahvuudet muodostavat ammattitaidon perustan ja resilienssi luo kestävyyttä. Yhdessä nämä tukevat viestinn…
Behavioral Inhibition Underlies the Link Between Interoceptive Sensitivity and Anxiety-Related Temperamental Traits
2017
Interoceptive sensitivity is a biologically determined, constitutional trait of an individual. High interoceptive sensitivity has been often associated with proneness to anxiety. This association has been explained by elevated autonomic responsiveness in anxious individuals. However, in a heartbeat discrimination task (discrimination of heartbeats’ simultaneity to an external stimulus) low cardiac responsiveness has accompanied enhanced performance. The relation between these factors seems task dependent, and cannot comprehensively explain the link between interoceptive sensitivity and anxiety. We explored for additional explanatory factors for this link. More specifically, we studied which…
