Päiväkotilasten sosioemotionaalisten taitojen kehittäminen liikuntatuokioiden avulla

2011

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää 3-4-vuotiaiden päiväkotilasten liikuntatuokioiden aikana ilmeneviä sosioemotionaalisia taitoja ja niissä kuuden kuukauden aikana tapahtuneita muutoksia kaiken kaikkiaan kahdeksan kuukautta kestäneessä liikuntainterventiossa. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa analysoitiin ja kuvattiin varhaiskasvattajien kokemuksia interventiosta. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, mitkä pedagogiset toimenpiteet varhaiskasvattajat kokivat tärkeiksi kehittäessään 3−4-vuotiaiden päiväkotilasten sosioemotionaalisia taitoja liikuntatuokioiden aikana. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat myös ne päiväkodin toimenpiteet, jotka varhaiskasvattajien mielestä mahdollistavat 3−4- vuotiaiden päiväkotilasten …

It's Sad but I Like It The Neural Dissociation Between Musical Emotions and Liking in Experts and Laypersons

2016

Emotion-related areas of the brain, such as the medial frontal cortices, amygdala, and striatum, are activated during listening to sad or happy music as well as during listening to pleasurable music. Indeed, in music, like in other arts, sad and happy emotions might co-exist and be distinct from emotions of pleasure or enjoyment. Here we aimed at discerning the neural correlates of sadness or happiness in music as opposed those related to musical enjoyment. We further investigated whether musical expertise modulates the neural activity during affective listening of music. To these aims, 13 musicians and 16 non-musicians brought to the lab their most liked and disliked musical pieces with a …

The pleasure evoked by sad music is mediated by feelings of being moved

2017

Why do we enjoy listening to music that makes us sad? This question has puzzled music psychologists for decades, but the paradox of “pleasurable sadness” remains to be solved. Recent findings from a study investigating the enjoyment of sad films suggest that the positive relationship between felt sadness and enjoyment might be explained by feelings of being moved (Hanich et al., 2014). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether feelings of being moved also mediated the enjoyment of sad music. In Experiment 1, 308 participants listened to five sad music excerpts and rated their liking and felt emotions. A multilevel mediation analysis revealed that the initial positive relations…

Distinct muscle-tendon interaction during running at different speeds and in different loading conditions

2019

The interaction between the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscles seems to be modulated differently with various task configurations. Here we tested the hypothesis that the increased forces and ankle joint work during running under contrasting conditions (altered speed or load) would be met by different, time-dependent adjustments at the muscle-tendon level. Ultrasonography, electromyography, kinematics, and ground reaction force measurements were used to examine Achilles tendon, gastrocnemius, and soleus muscle mechanics in 16 runners in four different running conditions, consisting of a combination of two different speeds (preferred and +20% of preferred speed) and two loading con…

Logistic procedures in the promotion of agritourism

2018

The article concerns logistic procedures in the promotion of agritourism services used by farmers engaged in agritourism and by agritourism associations, local authorities in municipalities and agricultural advisory centers. On the basis of the literature, various promotional instruments used by rural service providers and by these entities in the communication processes with the market were shown. Logistic aspects concerning planning and implementation of agritourism development were presented, mainly the role of agritourism information and promotional activities in these processes. Farmers providing agritouristic services most often use various forms of promotion. Among them, they use onl…

The psychology of streaming : exploring music listeners’ motivations to favour access over ownership

2016

Digital streaming represents the most radical development in the way we experience music since the invention of automatic playback technologies two centuries ago. From zero ownership and on-demand access to a virtually limitless library of music via a disconnected financial transaction, streaming services challenge previous conceptions of how music is defined, experienced and consumed. This paper explores streaming from a psychological perspective, and highlights a range of factors that motivate users to favour access over ownership. From removal of responsibilities of ownership to enhanced discovery, nostalgia-fulfilment to augmented emotional engagement, adoption of access-based consumpti…

Znaczenie doświadczanych emocji dla rozwiązywania zadań problemowych przez makiawelistów

2017

The study shows that there is a connection between machiavellism and the way of solving problem tasks in the situation when selected emotions are inducted. The results also show that people with a high level of machiavellism are characterized by stop self-control (DeBoer, B., Van Hooft, E., Bakker, A., 2011) and that induction of emotions among these people doesn’t have the same connection with the way of solving problem tasks as among people with low level of machiavellism. Additionally, the results show that people with high level of machiavellism don’t trust other people and are competitive.

Exploring relationships between audio features and emotion in music

2009

In this paper, we present an analysis of the associations between emotion categories and audio features automatically extracted from raw audio data. This work is based on 110 excerpts from film soundtracks evaluated by 116 listeners. This data is annotated with 5 basic emotions (fear, anger, happiness, sadness, tenderness) on a 7 points scale. Exploiting state-of-the-art Music Information Retrieval (MIR) techniques, we extract audio features of different kind: timbral, rhythmic and tonal. Among others we also compute estimations of dissonance, mode, onset rate and loudness. We study statistical relations between audio descriptors and emotion categories confirming results from psychological …
