Language choice in EFL teaching : student teachers' perceptions
2012
Vieraan kielen opettaja tekee luokkahuoneessa jatkuvasti valintoja luokkahuonekielen suhteen, olivatpa nuo valinnat sitten tietoisia tai tiedostamattomia. Opettaja voi puhua joko kohdekieltä tai oppilaiden äidinkieltä niissä eri vuorovaikutustilanteissa, joita hän oppitunnilla kohtaa. Kielenvalinta vieraan kielen opetuksessa on synnyttänyt paljon keskustelua asiantuntijoiden keskuudessa. Onkin syntynyt kaksi eri ajattelukuntaa: toiset puhuvat äidinkielen käytön puolesta, kun taas toiset kannattavat eksklusiivista kohdekielen käyttöä. Tämä tutkimus keskittyi englannin opetusharjoittelijoiden näkemyksiin äidinkielen ja kohdekielen käytöstä ja siihen, miten he tulkitsevat omia kielivalintojaan…
Negotiation strategies and offers : perceptions of mergers and acquisitions advisors
2014
This thesis sought to identify mergers and acquisitions advisors’ perceptions of their own negotiation strategies in a typical negotiation. Additionally, the thesis examined the potential association between the first offer and a negotiator’s perception of his or her own negotiation strategy. This was researched empirically by presenting the negotiators two different first offer negotiation scenarios. In the first scenario, a buyer presented a first offer that was higher than a negotiator’s reservation value. In the second scenario, a buyer presented a first offer that was lower than a negotiator’s reservation value. The theoretical framework of the thesis was based on the negotiation analy…
Tapping Doesn't Help : Synchronized Self-Motion and Judgments of Musical Tempo
2019
For both musicians and music psychologists, beat rate (BPM) has often been regarded as a transparent measure of musical speed or tempo, yet recent research has shown that tempo is more than just BPM. In a previous study, London, Burger, Thompson, and Toiviainen (Acta Psychologica, 164, 70–80, 2016) presented participants with original as well as “time-stretched” versions of classic R&B songs; time stretching slows down or speeds up a recording without changing its pitch or timbre. In that study we discovered a tempo anchoring effect (TAE): Although relative tempo judgments (original vs. time-stretched versions of the same song) were correct, they were at odds with BPM rates of each stimulus…
Social perception of the main Spanish popular-science communicators
2012
En este artículo se analiza la percepción pública de seis importantes divulgadores españoles de la ciencia. Para ello se ha realizado una encuesta entre los profesionales de la difusión de la ciencia, y a través de diferentes bloques de preguntas se ha buscado conocer su opinión sobre la tarea de divulgación llevada a cabo por Eduard Punset, Juan Luis Arsuaga, Manuel Toharia, Jorge Wagensberg, Ramon Folch y Javier Sampedro. Asimismo también se ha estudiado si los encuestados mostraban diferencias importantes cuando estas valoraciones provenían de la comunidad científica o del colectivo periodístico. This article examines the public perception of six major Spanish popularisers of science. To…

Risk narrations and perceptions in the COVID-19 time. A discourse analysis through the Italian press
2020
This paper explores how the risk related to the pandemic of COVID-19 was managed, narrated and perceived in Italy during the lockdown phase, from February until June 2020. To reach this aim, the study provides a discourse analysis of three main level: the official institutional discourses declaimed by the government and the health authority; the risk narration spread through the diaphragm of the Italian press, and specifically through two of the most-read newspapers in Italy (Repubblica and Corriere della Sera) and their related weeklies (Venerdì di Repubblica and Sette); finally, the diverse reactions and perceptions to the risk coming from the most affected and most vulnerable subjects, c…
Effect of Enculturation on the Semantic and Acoustic Correlates of Polyphonic Timbre
2011
polyphonic timbre perception was investigated in a cross-cultural context wherein Indian and Western nonmusicians rated short Indian and Western popular music excerpts (1.5 s, n = 200) on eight bipolar scales. Intrinsic dimensionality estimation revealed a higher number of perceptual dimensions in the timbre space for music from one's own culture. Factor analyses of Indian and Western participants' ratings resulted in highly similar factor solutions. The acoustic features that predicted the perceptual dimensions were similar across the two participant groups. Furthermore, both the perceptual dimensions and their acoustic correlates matched closely with the results of a previous study perfor…
Haptic Perception in Extreme Obesity: qEEG Study Focused on Predictive Coding and Body Schema
2020
Haptic perception (HP) is a perceptual modality requiring manual exploration to elaborate the physical characteristics of external stimuli through multisensory integrative cortical pathways. Cortical areas exploit processes of predictive coding that collect sensorial inputs to build and update internal perceptual models. Modifications to the internal representation of the body have been associated with eating disorders. In the light of this, obese subjects were selected as a valid experimental model to explore predictive coding in haptic perception. To this purpose, we performed electroencephalographic (EEG) continuous recordings during a haptic task in normally weighted versus obese subjec…
Vecāku stresa līmenis un priekšstati par bērnu audzināšanas pieejām
2018
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija izpētīt, kādas saistības pastāv starp vecāku stresa līmeni un viņu priekšstatiem par bērnu audzināšanas pieejām. Analizējot dažādu pētnieku atziņas par vecāku stresu un priekšstatiem par bērnu audzināšanas pieejām, tika konstatēti faktori, kas ir saistīti ar vecāku stresu. Empīriskie pierādījumi atspoguļo saikni starp partneru izraisītu stresu un disfunkcionālu vecāku lomas izpildi. Laulības konflikti un zema ģimenes attiecību kvalitāte ir saistīti ar piespiedu un stingras disciplīnas izmantošanas lielāku īpatsvaru bērnu audzināšanas pieejās. Vēl viens vecāku stresa avots, kas varētu būt īpaši būtisks, lai prognozētu audzināšanas pieejā vardarbīgu un negatīvu att…
