We studied the developmental trends of temperament and character in a longitudinal population-based sample Finnish men women aged 20-45 years using Temperament Character Inventory model personality. Personality was assessed 1997, 2001, 2007 (n = 2,104, 2,095, 2,056, respectively). Mean-level changes demonstrated qualitatively distinct patterns for (self-directedness, cooperativeness, self-transcendence) (novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence, persistence). developed toward...
Personality traits are basic dimensions of behavioral variation, and twin, family, adoption studies show that around 30% the between-individual variation is due to genetic variation. There rapidly growing interest in understanding evolutionary basis this Several mechanisms could explain how maintained traits, each these makes predictions terms relative contribution rare common variants personality magnitude nonadditive influences, whether affected by inbreeding. Using genome-wide single...
Both work stress and poor recovery have been shown to contribute the development of burnout. However, role as a mediating mechanism that links burnout has not sufficiently addressed in research.To examine mediator relationship between among teachers.A cross-sectional study Finnish primary school teachers, whom was measured with Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey conceptualized using effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model. Recovery Experience Questionnaire Jenkins Sleep Problems Scale....
Abstract Human personality is 30–60% heritable according to twin and adoption studies. Hundreds of genetic variants are expected influence its complex development, but few have been identified. We used a machine learning method for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) uncover genotypic–phenotypic networks environmental interactions. The Temperament Character Inventory (TCI) measured the self-regulatory components critical health (i.e., character traits self-directedness, cooperativeness,...
Abstract Experimental studies of learning suggest that human temperament may depend on the molecular mechanisms for associative conditioning, which are highly conserved in animals. The main genetic pathways conditioning known experimental animals, but have not been identified prior genome-wide association (GWAS) temperament. We used a data-driven machine method GWAS to uncover complex genotypic–phenotypic networks and environmental interactions related In discovery sample 2149 healthy Finns,...
Objective: The current study examines associations between Five Factor personality traits and average sleep duration, deficiency problems. Methods:The participants were from two population-based samples Australia (n = 1104, age range 31 -41) Finland 1623, 30 -45).Self-reports of behavior, problems (Jenkin's scale) Model (NEO-FFI) collected.Associations analyzed with linear regressions. Results:The results showed that higher extraversion, agreeableness conscientiousness were, in general,...
Background— The American Heart Association has defined a new metric of ideal cardiovascular health as part its 2020 Impact Goals. We examined whether psychosocial factors in youth predict adulthood. Methods and Results— Participants were 477 men 612 women from the nationwide Cardiovascular Risk Young Finns Study. Psychosocial measured cohorts 3 to 18 years age at baseline study, was 27 later summary measure comprised socioeconomic factors, emotional parental behaviors, stressful events,...
Phylogenetic, developmental, and brain-imaging studies suggest that human personality is the integrated expression of three major systems learning memory regulate (1) associative conditioning, (2) intentionality, (3) self-awareness. We have uncovered largely disjoint sets genes regulating these dissociable processes in different clusters people with unregulated temperament profiles (i.e., associatively conditioned habits emotional reactivity), organized character intentional self-control...
Background. Student's temperament plays a significant role in teacher's perception of the student's learning style, educational competence (EC), and teachability. Hence, contributes to academic achievement subjective ratings school grades. However, little is known about effect gender age on this association. Aims. We examined teacher‐perceived temperament, EC, teachability, whether there same or different association between teachers students relationship. Sample. The participants were...
Depressive mood is often preceded by sleep problems, suggesting that they increase the risk of depression. Sleep problems can also reflect prodromal symptom depression, thus temporal precedence alone insufficient to confirm causality. The authors applied recently introduced statistical causal-discovery algorithms estimate causality from cross-sectional samples in order infer direction between two sets symptoms a novel perspective. Two common-population were used; one Young Finns study (690...
Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) have shown promising effects on mental health among children and adolescents, but high-quality studies examining the topic are lacking. The present study assessed of MBI in school-setting an extensive randomised controlled trial. Finnish school adolescents (N = 3519), aged 12–15 years (6th to 8th graders), from 56 schools were randomized into a 9 week group, control groups with relaxation program or teaching as usual. primary outcomes resilience,...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether job strain and social support are associated with early atherosclerosis measured by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in young adults. Methods: subjects were 478 men 542 women (mean age 32.3) who participating the ongoing prospective Cardiovascular Risk Young Finns study. Job defined as a joint effect demands control. Early determined IMT ultrasound. associations between strain, support, evaluated using multiple linear...
Emerging evidence suggests that temperament may predict childbearing. We examined the association between four traits (novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence and persistence of Temperament Character Inventory) childbearing over life course in population‐based Cardiovascular Risk Young Finns study (n = 1535; 985 women, 550 men). was assessed when participants were aged 20–35 fertility history from adolescence to adulthood reported by at age 30–45. Discrete‐time survival analysis...
Obesity from childhood to adulthood is associated with adverse health later in life. Increased youth BMI a risk factor for obesity, but it unknown whether identification of other factors, including recently discovered genetic markers, would help identify children at developing adult obesity.Our objective was examine the environmental and predictors obesity.We followed 2119 individuals Cardiovascular Risk Young Finns Study up 27 yr since baseline (1980, age 3-18 yr).We evaluated obesity [body...
