Construct validity was studied through principal component analysis using Promax rotation, reliability with alphas, and criterion and convergent validity with correlations between…

Gratitude Questionnaire–20 Items (G20): A Cross-Cultural, Psychometric and Crowdsourcing Analysis

2020

The use in psychology of crowdsourcing platforms as a method of data collection has been increasing in popularity because of its relative ease and versatility. Our goal is to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire–20 Items (G20) to the English language by using data collected through a crowdsourcing platform. The G20 is a comprehensive instrument that takes in consideration the different basic processes of gratitude and assesses the construct’s cognitive, evaluative, emotional, and behavioral processes. We test the psychometric properties of the English version of the G20 with a Prolific (ProA) user sample. We assess the adequacy of the G20 for the crowdsourcing population in its English version…

What I say is not necessary what I do: pulses consumption in French adults

2018

International audience; The consumption of pulses in the human diet is considered to have several advantages: from a nutritional point of view, pulses are rich in dietary fibers, complex carbohydrate, minerals/vitamins and an important source of vegetal proteins. They are considered essential to insure food security and support environmental sustainability. Despite these benefits, the consumption of pulses in France has declined over the past decades, dropping from 7.2 kg in 1920 to 1.7 kg/ person per year in 2016. The aim of this study is to understand the representation of pulses among French non-vegetarian consumers, using a direct method (questionnaire) and an indirect method (scenario …

Effects of progressive aquatic resistance training on symptoms and quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis: A secondary analysis.

2020

Abstract Objective: To conduct a secondary analysis to study the effects, those 4 months of aquatic resistance training have on self‐assessed symptoms and quality of life in post‐menopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA), after the intervention and after a 12‐month follow‐up period. Methods: A total of 87 post‐menopausal volunteer women, aged 60‐68 years, with mild knee OA were recruited in a randomized, controlled, 4‐month aquatic training trial (RCT) and randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 43) and a control (n = 44) group. The intervention group participated in 48 supervised aquatic resistance training sessions over 4 months while the control group maintained their usual l…

Video games in language learning : the way to the next level of language competence?

2014

Vaikka videopelit ilmiönä ovat olleet osa kulttuuriamme jo useiden vuosikymmenten ajan, niihin liittyvää tutkimusta on tehty varsin vähän. Lisäksi suurin osa olemassa olevasta, oppimiseen liittyvästä tutkimuksesta keskittyy teoriaan käytännön ilmiöiden tutkimisen sijaan. Varsinkin kielten oppimista käsittelevä tutkimus on vielä puutteellista. Videopelit mediana ovat kehittyneet paljon erityisesti 2000-luvulla ja niiden mahdollisuudet opetuksessa yleisesti tulisi kuitenkin selvittää. Tämän tutkielman lähtökohtana on tutkia yläkouluoppilaiden videopelaamisen määrän vaikutusta heidän englannin kielen taitoonsa, sekä eroja eri videopelityyppien pelaajien englannin taidossa. Tutkielmassa kielita…

Vulnerabilità sulla scena. Temi etici e soluzioni drammaturgiche nella "Medea" di Seneca

2018

La Medea di Seneca racconta una storia di vulnerabilità? Questo saggio propone una lettura della tragedia usando il concetto di vulnerabilità non come criterio per verificare la correttezza degli assunti stoici in materia di condotta morale, ma quale paradigma di relazione tra soggetti che, per definirsi, si consegnano gli uni agli altri, esponendosi, e su tale esposizione mettono alla prova l’identità personale e la fallibilità dell’autonomia morale. In questa idea di vulnerabilità non si trova solo una lente per formulare domande di natura etica, ma anche un utile strumento di analisi del meccanismo drammaturgico senecano. Is Seneca’s Medea a story of vulnerability? This paper aims to rea…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the association between depressive symptoms and multisite pain and health-related quality of life and work ability in currently employed health care workers with recurrent low back pain (LBP). METHODS: Multisite pain, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and work ability were assessed by validated questionnaires. A generalized linear model was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Notably, 28% of female health care workers with LBP had at least moderate levels of depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with decreased health-related quality of life and work ability. Multisite pain was not significantly associated with work …

Assessment of Occupational Health and Job Satisfaction in Workers with Intellectual Disability: A Job Demands–Resources Perspective

2021

In the contexts where people with intellectual disability work, there are factors that determine their job satisfaction. The objective of this study was to test the adequacy of the central assumptions of the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) theory in workers with intellectual disability employed in different work alternatives. Data from 362 workers in sheltered workshops and 192 workers in supported employment were utilized. The model was contrasted using a structural equation model and a multi-group analysis. The results supported the suitability of the model and confirmed that job demands and job resources evoke two relatively independent processes such as health impairment and motivational p…
