  • Kohti kutsumuksellista lähestymistapaa elämään : Elämän merkityksellisyyden löytäminen positiivisen mielenterveyden avaimena 
    Bagrova, Julia (2022)
    Objectives. The purpose of the dissertation was to study the basic psychological needs and positive mental health of employees in a Finnish financial sector organization. The research task was to examine the current state of the basic psychological needs of the theory of authenticity, benevolence and self-determination among the employees of the target organization and their connection to the perceived positive mental health. The study examined the construction of a new model and its relationship to positive mental health using linear regression analysis. Methods. For the study, I constructed a research questionnaire utilizing several validated measures of positive mental health, authenticity, benevolence, and SDT theory’s basic psychological needs. The questionnaire was administered to the employees of the target group by e-mail. Participation was voluntary and 395 responses were received. Correlation, cluster analysis, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The study involved using linear regression analysis for modelling relations between basic psychological needs of self-determination theory across authenticity, benevolence and self-determination, and examining its relationship to positive mental health. Results and conclusions. Satisfaction with the basic psychological needs of the employees of the target organization was quite strong. On the other hand, the perceived positive mental health of the employees was somewhat lower than the average of the Finnish population in general. The study revealed that the basic psychological needs of self-determination theory, benevolence, and authenticity are associated with perceived positive mental health. The model called as a Calling and model of Calling obtained in the study explained a total of 49% of the variation in positive mental health. The results show that high satisfaction with the basic psychological needs of workers in the financial sector predicts a higher perceived positive mental health.
  • Positiivisen mielenterveyden ja psyykkisen oireilun yhteys Lapin väestössä 
    Kaivolainen, Viivi (2016)
    Traditionally mental health has been viewed as the absence of psychopathology. Quite new alternative view of mental health views mental health being composed of two separate dimensions: positive mental health and mental illness. Positive mental health is conceived of as emotional and psychological well-being, positive functioning and social well-being. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between positive mental health and mental illness. Furthermore, the connection of social support to positive mental health, and the moderating effects of social support to the relationship of mental health and mental illness were examined. The applied data is from population study of Lapland, Mielen tuki – project, in year 2012. The data was collected in mail questionnaire from 15-80 years old. Positive mental health was assessed with short version of Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being scale (SWEMWBS). Mental illness was assessed with GHQ-12 and social support with Oslo-3 scale. Variables were examined with regression analyses. Results showed that mental illness and positive mental health were moderately and reversed connected. Results also supported the separation of the two. Social support was autonomously related to better positive mental health and worse mental illness, but the moderating effect was not shown.
