Emotional obstacles of e-learning
2011
How are learning experiences and task properties associated with adolescents’ emotions and psychophysiological states?
2022
We examined whether learning experiences (value of success, mastery experience) and task properties (challenge) are related to early adolescents’ (n = 190, median age = 12) emotional responses and psychophysiological states (autonomic nervous system, ANS) in achievement situations in an ambulatory laboratory. They completed four achievement tasks (two math and two reading) at different challenge levels in randomized order, and reported their learning and task perceptions for each task. The proportion of errors indicated the objective demandingness of each task. As indices of sympathetic nervous system activity, we recorded skin conductance response (SCR) and heart rate (HR), and, as parasym…
Adults learning Finnish as a foreign language : role of support, emotions and reasons connected with learning
2015
The purpose of this research study was to examine adults learning Finnish as a foreign language while striving to understand the reasons behind their decisions to do so, the support that was individually offered to the participants, how they felt throughout the learning process, and whether or not they found themselves to be self-reliant learners, as per Knowles’ andragogy theory. This study set out to examine adult language learners participating in the language and integration program at Palapeli2 project and in the Suomi 2 language course at the Open University. Through a two part (in the beginning and completion of the course) qualitative interview process, a total of eight learners wer…
Le processus souverainiste en Catalogne : entre crise institutionnelle et impasse politique
2017
Cet article interroge les facteurs qui ont conduit, à partir de 2010, à une radicalisation des revendications indépendantistes en Catalogne et à une situation de quasi-blocage institutionnel à travers une analyse des discours politiques des exécutifs catalan et madrilène et des nouveaux modes d'activité protestataire mis en place par la société civile. La complexité de cette crise qui pose le problème des limites du cadre constitutionnel de 1978 implique de prendre en compte les interactions qui se créent entre la sphère politique et la société civile au cours de ce cycle de mobilisations. La réflexion s'oriente donc à la fois sur les arguments convoqués dans le discours institutionnel mais…
Proprioceptive response strength in the primary sensorimotor cortex is invariant to the range of finger movement
2023
Available online 13 February 2023 Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex can be elicited by stim- ulating the proprioceptors using evoked (passive) limb movements. In magnetoencephalography (MEG), propri- oceptive processing can be quantified by recording the movement evoked fields (MEFs) and movement-induced beta power modulations or by computing corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between the limb kinematics and cortical activity. We examined whether cortical proprioceptive processing quantified with MEF peak strength, relative beta supp…
Engraved in the Body : Ways of Reading Finnish People's Memories of Mental Hospitals
2021
Finnish psychiatric practice has been heavily based on institutionalization. Mental hospitalsMental hospital have thus been part of Finns' lives in many ways. Our multidisciplinary researchMultidisciplinary research group has investigated how experiences in these institutions are remembered today by analysing writings by patients, relatives, personnel and their children, collected in 2014--2015 with the Finnish Literature Society. The memoriesMemory cover phases of psychiatric care from the 1930s to the mid-2010s. This article presents multiple ways in which experiences that are often difficult verbalize can be interpreted, e.g. by drawing on perspectives from creative, artistic and cultura…
Mielisairaalan varjoista : nostalgia ja melankolia mielisairaala-alueilla asuneiden lapsuusmuistoissa
2018
1940–1960-luvuilla suomalaisten mielisairaaloiden henkilökunta perheineen asui tyypillisesti sairaala-alueilla tarkoitusta varten rakennetuissa asunnoissa. Käytäntö toi mielisairaala-alueille myös henkilökunnan lapset. Analysoin artikkelissa mielisairaalan henkilökunnan lasten lapsuudenympäristöihinsä liittämiä tunnekokemuksia. Nyt jo aikuisten lasten muistelmat sävyttyvät paitsi nostalgisesta kaipuusta lapsuuden leikkipaikkoihin ja mielisairaalaelämän yhteisöllisyyteen, myös melankoliasta, joka liittyi yhteisön eristyneisyyteen ja siellä läsnä olevaan väkivallan ja kuoleman uhkaan. Keskeisiä käsitteitä analyysissa ovat nostalgian ja melankolian lisäksi topofilia ja topofobia eli paikkaan l…
A person-oriented approach to diary data. Children’s temperamental negative emotionality increases susceptibility to emotion transmission in father-c…
2015
The notion that some individuals are more prone to emotion transmission than others has prompted the need for a person-oriented approach to emotion transmission in parent-child dyads. The present study applied a person-oriented analysis to examine the patterns of emotion transmission that can be identified in the diary data of father-child dyads, and the extent to which children with high levels of temperamental negative emotionality are particularly susceptible to emotion transmission within the family. Mothers of 149 first grade children (age 6 to 7) completed questionnaires concerning their child’s temperament. Mothers and fathers maintained diary questionnaires (for a total of 7 days) c…
”Do you have a language of emotions?” : early multilinguals' perceptions of emotional weight in their languages
2017
Monikielisyys on tänä päivänä hyvin yleinen ilmiö, jota on tutkittu monista näkökulmista. Yksi suosittu aihe on monikielisten henkilöiden omiin kieliinsä yhdistämät tunnemerkitykset, eli kuinka jotkut kielet voidaan kokea tunnetasolla painoltaan tai merkitykseltään voimakkaampina kuin toiset. Tämä tunneherkkyys on yleisesti ottaen vahvin henkilön äidinkielessä, mutta niille puhujille, joilla ei ole yhtä selvää äidinkieltä, tilanne on toinen. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää, kokevatko tällaiset hyvin varhaiset monikieliset puhujat, että jokin heidän kielistään on selvästi emotionaalisemmalta painoarvoltaan selkeämpi kuin muut, tai onko heillä kieli, jonka voisi luokitella tunteide…
Investigating Relationships Between Music, Emotions, Personality, and Music-Induced Movement
2013
Listening to music makes us to move in various ways. The characteristics of these movements can be affected by several aspects, such as individual factors, musical features, or the emotional content of the music. In a study in which we presented 60 individuals with 30 musical stimuli representing different genres of popular music and recorded their movement with an optical motion capture system, we found significant correlations 1) between musical characteristics and the exhibited movement, 2) between the perceived emotional content of the music and the movement, and 3) between personality traits of the dancers and the movement. However, such separate analyses are incapable of investigating…
