The Role of a Supportive Interpersonal Environment and Education-Related Goal Motivation During the Transition Beyond Upper Secondary Education
2018
This longitudinal study investigated the role of parents and peers as well as of education-related goal motivation during educational transitioning in late adolescence. The sample consisted of 1520 upper secondary education students attending either academic or vocational upper secondary school in Finland. They were surveyed three times: (1) in the first year of their upper secondary education, (2) in the second year of their upper secondary education, and (3) two years later. The results show, first, that when students in upper secondary education pursued their educational goals out of autonomous motivation they also invested more effort in their goals, which was reflected in high levels o…
Entrepreneurial choices depend on trust : Some global evidence
2022
Interpersonal trust and people’s trust in institutions are important components of social capital, which has been shown to have not only innate social value but also diverse direct and indirect positive social and economic impacts. Using data for an economically and globally diverse group of countries, we examine empirically how changes in interpersonal trust and trust in institutions affect entrepreneurship over time. Our findings suggest that (1) enhancing either type of trust leads to more entrepreneurial activity and (2) an increase in interpersonal trust causes a structural change in the composition of the TEA-type entrepreneurship. Increased trust reduces the share of relatively lower…
The effects of COVID-19-era unemployment and business closures upon the physical and mental health of older Europeans : Mediation through financial c…
2023
COVID-19-era lockdown policies resulted in many older persons entering unemployment, facing financial difficulties and social restrictions, and experiencing declining health. Employing the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe's first COVID-19 module (summer 2020) (N = 11,231) and the Karlson-Holm-Breen method for decomposition of effects within non-linear probability models (logistic regression modelling), we examined associations of pandemic-era lost work with older Europeans' (50–80 years of age) self-assessed health, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms, and mediation through households' difficulties making ends meet, loneliness, and curtailed face-to-face contact with …
Domestic Homicide and Emotions from the Late Nineteenth Century to the 1920s
2020
Some scholars have suggested that a significant change in homicides and interpersonal violence occurred in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This new type of violence was characterised by strong feelings between the offender and their victim, and the change was connected to modernisation, changes in power balance between men and women, and individualism. Based on the Court of Appeal documents, we deduced that the murder of one’s spouse, father, or brother were the most prevalent homicides within families in Finland at the time. The Court documents, in conjunction with newspaper accounts, captured the trend of troubled family relationships and demonstrated that lethal family…
Parliament and the Press : Forging the United Nations in Wartime Britain, 1939–45
2020
During the Second World War, not only the United States but also Great Britain played a leading role in planning and establishing the United Nations (UN) as a new international organisation to replace the League of Nations. While scholarship on post‐war planning is extensive, relatively little exists on how the planning process was discussed and depicted publicly in Britain. The purpose of this article is to fill such lacunae by examining the two most important domains for public discussion at the time, the press and parliament. It will argue, first, that the League of Nations’ experience – its inability to use collective force and its optimistically democratic structure – overwhelmingly sh…
International students' perceptions on their adaptation to Indonesia and their intercultural relationship development : special focus on differences …
2015
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, miten kansainväliset opiskelijat kuvaavat sopeutumistaan Indonesiaan. Sopeutumista tarkastellaan erityisesti niiden ihmissuhteiden valossa, joita opiskelijat loivat Indonesiassa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on lisäksi selvittää opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä siitä, miten kulttuuriset viestintätyylien erot sekä Englanti lingua franca -kielenä vaikuttivat ihmissuhteiden kehittymiseen. Tutkimusote on laadullinen. Tutkimukseen osallistujat valittiin yhdistämällä lumipalloja mukavuusotantatapoja. Tutkimusjoukoksi valikoitui 11 opiskelijaa, joista 10 osallistui AIESEC-järjestön työharjoitteluohjelmaan, kun taas yksi tutkimukseen osallistujista oli AFS-ohjelman oppilas…
Digital Inequality and Relatedness in India after Access
2022
The scholarship on digital inequality and divides has relied mainly on quantitative data and such general criteria for digital inequality as access, motivation, skills, and the autonomy of use to measure the empowering effects of internet access. This chapter develops a novel way to understand digital inequality based on ethnographic fieldwork on smartphone use in rural and urban India among low-income and little-educated people. It analyses digital inequality through the concept of digital relatedness exploring how people’s digital media use is embedded in social relationships and how media use serves to refashion relationships and hierarchies. The chapter argues that the focus on autonomo…
Lasten ja nuorten verkkokiusaamisen tutkimushaasteita : puheenvuoro
2011
Verkkokiusaaminen (cyberbullying) on suhteellisen uusi käsite, jolla tarkoitetaan viestintäteknologian kuten sähköpostin, puhelimen tai sosiaalisen median välityksellä tapahtuvaa loukkaamista ja vahingoittamista. Vaikka ilmiö on saanut mediassa paljon julkisuutta, on verkkokiusaamisen tutkimus käynnistynyt vasta 2000-luvun puolivälissä. Tutkijat ovat olleet kiinnostuneita erityisesti lasten ja nuorten keskuudessa esiintyvästä verkkokiusaamisesta, josta onkin muutamassa vuodessa kasvanut yksi koulumaailman vakavimmista ongelmista. Tässä kirjallisuuskatsauksessa1 kuvataan, miten verkkokiusaamista on määritelty ja millaisia erityispiirteitä siinä on tunnistettu. Lisäksi kootaan verkkokiusaamis…
Lasten ja nuorten vertaissuhteiden ylläpitäminen ja muodostuminen viestintäteknologian avulla
2011
Tämän tutkielman ensimmäinen osa on kirjallisuuskatsaus, jossa perehdytään lasten ja nuorten teknologiavälitteisiin vuorovaikutussuhteisiin ja siihen, miten he ylläpitävät ja muodostavat vertaissuhteita viestintäteknologian avulla. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, mitä aiheesta on tutkittu ja millaisia menetelmiä ja mittareita tutkimuksissa on käytetty. Kirjallisuuskatsaus toteutettiin noin 150:n pääosin 2000-luvulla tehdyn kirjan ja artikkelin pohjalta. Tulokset osoittivat, että lapset ja nuoret käyttävät viestintäteknologiaa ensisijaisesti viestiäkseen olemassa olevien ystäviensä kanssa. Huomattava osa nuorista on kuitenkin myös muodostanut uusia vertaissuhteita henkilöihin, joita he eivät ole …
