The Children of Risk Communication
2022
For the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk communication has been a much-needed preventive and educative action to support citizens – including children – to adopt preventive and health protective measures. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is not the only health concern at hand that has raised concerns about the health status of children and required disease-preventive strategies. Bearing in mind the mental health problems and learning losses reported during the pandemic, in this commentary, we will argue that by now, it is time to consider critically if there could be more space for positive communication and education, both alongside and as an integral part of risk communication, to…
Being positive, being hopeful, being happy : young adults reflecting on their future in times of austerity
2020
The aim of this article is to analyse the ways in which young adults reflect on their futures. We are particularly interested in how they expect to organize their lives in conditions that seem to offer pessimistic rather than hopeful prospects. How does this happen under social conditions where the major public and individual concerns are with how young adults organize their material lives and how they earn sufficient livelihoods to become good citizens? What are the grounds for their future visions? In our analysis we use 40 interviews with young Finnish adults aged between 18 and 30. The respondents are students, as well as employed and unemployed young adults. Our findings show that the…
Musiikki katsojan odotuksia muovaavana tekijänä Michael Haneken elokuvassa Funny Games (1997)
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarkastella musiikin vaikutusta katsojan tulkintaan ja odotusten syntymiseen elokuvan Funny Games (1997) avauskohtauksen kautta. Kohtauksessa soiva musiikki on nähty kuvastavan elokuvan yleistä tunnelmaa ja juonta erittäin hyvin ja tämän vuoksi musiikin on nähty viestivän katsojalle sisällöltään epämukavasta elokuvasta. Tutkimusta varten haastateltiin yhteensä kolmea yliopisto-opiskelijaa, jotka katsoivat lyhyen ja pitkän version kohtauksesta ja sen pohjalta kertoivat näkemyksistään elokuvan jatkosta ja kohtauksen sisällöstä. Haastatteluaineisto analysoitiin teoriaohjaavan sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tulosten myötä kävi ilmi, että musiikilla on merkitystä …
Kokemus elämänhallinnasta eläkkeelle siirryttäessä ja kolmannessa iässä
2008
Suomalaisen yhteiskunnan vanheneminen ja suurten ikäluokkien siirtyminen eläkkeelle ja kolmanteen ikään nostaa esille kysymyksiä, miten vastattaisiin tulevaisuuden palvelujen tarpeisiin ja miten palvelujärjestelmää olisi kehitettävä. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on selvittää 60- ja 65-vuotiaiden ikääntyvien elämänhallintaa ja nykyistä sekä tulevaa tuen tarvetta. Elämänhallinnan viitekehyksenä on Antonovskyn koherenssiteoria, jossa elämänhallinta rakentuu merkityksellisyydestä, hallinnantunteesta ja ymmärrettävyydestä. Aineisto koostuu 35 Helsingin Vanhan kaupungin alueella asuvan henkilön haastattelusta. Haastateltavista enemmistö oli jo eläkkeellä, mutta osa oli vielä työelämässä. Haastattelu rak…
Itsensä brändääminen työhaastattelussa : työnhakijan strateginen valinta erottautua kilpailijoista
2015
Jatkuva muutosherkkyys ja talouden taantuma ovat johtaneet kilpailun kovenemiseen työmarkkinoilla. Alati muuttuva toimintaympäristö sekä heikko taloudellinen tilanne karsii jatkuvasti työpaikkoja joka alalta. Olemassa olevista työpaikoista käydään kovaa kamppailua työnhakijoiden keskuudessa. Menestyminen työnhaussa vaatii uudenlaisia ratkaisuja. On pystyttävä erottautumaan muista työnhakijoista. Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkasteltu työnhakijoiden tapaa brändätä itseään työhaastattelussa. Sen lisäksi on haluttu selvittää minkälaisia tapoja brändäämiseen sisältyy ja, millä tavalla työnhakijat arvioivat brändäämisen onnistumista. Itsensä brändääminen on melko uusi käsite, minkä vuoksi tutkimukse…
The role of academic buoyancy and emotions in students' learning-related expectations and behaviours in primary school.
2019
Background. Academic buoyancy refers to students’ ability to come through ordinary challenges they face in the academic context, and it can positively contribute to students’ beliefs and behaviours in learning situations. Although buoyancy has been found to be related to positive academic outcomes, previous studies have not examined how buoyancy influences academic emotions in learning situations and how these emotions further affect students’ learning-related expectations and behaviours. \ud Aims. This study investigated to what extent academic buoyancy predicts students’ failure expectations, avoidance behaviour, and task-oriented planning in learning situations, and to what extent academ…
Theorizing expectations as enablers of intangible assets in public relations: Normative, predictive, and destructive
2019
Expectations intersect with many areas of public relations, yet conceptual and theoretical understandings of expectations have not been strong in public relations research. In fact, expectations are often discussed at a cursory level, expectation theories are seldom applied, and the concept of expectations is not problematized. In this article, therefore, we explore the role of expectations in public relations and illustrate how expectations shape organizational relationships, particularly by enabling or destroying the creation of organizational intangible assets. We identify gaps in how expectations are addressed in public relations, present the results from a literature review of 159 acad…
Understanding youth athletes' life designing processes through dream day narratives
2018
A number of studies have investigated career pathways in elite sport with retrospective designs, but few studies have explored how youth elite athletes construct narratives about their future lives and how their dreams and hopes relate to their careers in sport and other life contexts. We drew on career construction theory to understand youth elite athletes' dreams for the future and prominent life themes. Seventeen Finnish youth elite athletes (7 men, 10 women) in the first year of upper secondary sport school participated in the study. They were asked to make visual representations of their “dream days”, and these were used as aids for reflection in low-structured interviews where partici…
Measuring expectation for an affordance gap on a smartphone user interface and its usage among older adults
2020
The smartphone has become a ubiquitous mobile communication tool that plays a crucial role in the daily lives for Malaysian older adults. However, it is not easy for older adults to learn new interaction modes and adopt the smartphone user interface. In this paper, we aim to examine the affordances of a smartphone user interface and its usage by older adults through the lens of Norman’s execution/evaluation action cycle (EEAC) framework. A mobile-user interaction study was administered with four tasks. A paired sample t-test was conducted to analyze the affordance gap between different levels of expectation. The results revealed that three tasks (making phone calls, adding contacts, and usi…
Changing Economic Conditions and Identity Formation in Adulthood
2010
Identity formation in political and occupational domains was examined from young to middle adulthood based on an ongoing longitudinal study. In addition to the participants’ identity status (diffused, moratorium, foreclosed, achieved), we assessed their perceived importance of politics, future orientation, and career stability four times in adulthood, at ages 27, 36, 42, and 50. The number of participants varied between analyses, from 168 to 291. Changes in the economic situation in Finland from 1986 to 2009 provided a context for the study. Data collections at ages 36 (in 1995) and 50 (in 2009) took place during economic recessions, and at age 42 (in 2001) during an economic boom. The res…
