The relationship of trait-like compassion with epigenetic aging
An association between higher compassion in 1997 and a less accelerated DNAmPhenoAge, which builds on previous work on phenotypic aging, approached statistical significance in a sex-adjusted model ( n = 1,030; b = -0.34; p = 0.050). Compassion in 1997 predicted less accelerated epigenetic aging over and above the control variables ( n = 843; b = -0.47; p = 0.016). There was no relationship between compassion in 2001 ( n = 1108/910) and any of the…

Childhood Psychosocial Cumulative Risks and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Adulthood
OBJECTIVE: Adverse experiences in childhood may influence cardiovascular risk in adulthood. We examined the prospective associations between types of psychosocial adversity and having multiple adversities (e.g., cumulative risk) with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and its progression among young adults. Higher cumulative risk score in childhood was expected to be associated with higher IMT and its progression. METHODS: Participants were 226…
Stressful life events and depressive symptoms among symptomatic long QT syndrome patients
We examined whether long QT syndrome status moderates the association between stressful life events and depressive symptoms. Participants were 562 ( n = 246 symptomatic) long QT syndrome mutation carriers. Depressive symptoms were measured with a modified version of the Beck's Depression Inventory. There was an interaction between long QT syndrome status and stressful life events on depressive symptoms. In the symptomatic long QT syndrome patient…

Childhood and adolescence risk factors and development of depressive symptoms
BACKGROUND: Environmental risks in childhood have been shown to predict later depressive symptoms. In this study, we examined whether various environmental risk domains in childhood and adolescence, socioeconomic, psychoemotional, parental lifestyle and life-events, predict depressive symptom trajectories in adulthood individually by domain and as a cumulative risk score across domains. METHODS: Participants were a nationally representative sampl…

Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Activation and Depressive Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the activation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme involved in serotonin production, is associated with depressive symptoms. METHODS: The participants were 544 women and 442 men (aged 24-39 years) from the population-based Young Finns Study who participated in a medical examination in 2001 (including IDO and depression) and 2007 (follow-up assessment for depression). RESULTS: At baseline, IDO was associat…
Gender differences in teachers’ perceptions of students’ temperament, educational competence, and teachability
Background. Student's temperament plays a significant role in teacher's perception of the student's learning style, educational competence (EC), and teachability. Hence, temperament contributes to student's academic achievement and teacher's subjective ratings of school grades. However, little is known about the effect of gender and teacher's age on this association. Aims. We examined the effect of teacher's and student's gender and teacher's age…

Associations of student temperament and educational competence with academic achievement
Development of adulthood hostile attitudes
The effects of the serotonin receptor 2A (HTR2A) and 1A (HTR1A) polymorphisms and maternal caregiving attitudes on child's later hostile attitudes were examined. The sample consisted of 819 Finnish children and adolescents. Nurturance was reported by the mothers during childhood, while hostile attitudes were reported by the participants in adulthood. Caregiving attitudes predicted hostile attitudes (β = −.069, p = .047), but HTR2A and HTR1A were …
Adolescent Leadership and Adulthood Fertility
Human motivation for social status may reflect an evolved psychological adaptation that increased individual reproductive success in the evolutionary past. However, the association between status striving and reproduction in contemporary humans is unclear. It may be hypothesized that personality traits related to status achievement increase fertility even if modern indicators of socioeconomic status do not. We examined whether four subcomponents …
Chronic Stress and the Development of Early Atherosclerosis
This study aims to explore the interactive effect of vital exhaustion (VE) and endothelial dysfunction on preclinical atherosclerosis, assessed by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Furthermore, interaction between VE and carotid elasticity is examined. Participants were 1,596 young healthy adults from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study. Endothelial dysfunction was measured by brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), and carotid elas…
EAS temperaments as predictors of unemployment in young adults
Personality and having children
Personality has been implicated in romantic and sexual relationships, but its association with childbearing is poorly understood. The authors assessed whether 3 personality traits--sociability, emotionality, and activity--predicted the probability of having children and whether having children predicted personality change. The participants were women and men from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study (N = 1,839) who were followed for 9 yea…

The psychophysiology of James Bond
The authors examined emotional valence- and arousal-related phasic psychophysiological responses to different violent events in the first-person shooter video game "James Bond 007: NightFire" among 36 young adults. Event-related changes in zygomaticus major, corrugator supercilii, and orbicularis oculi electromyographic (EMG) activity and skin conductance level (SCL) were recorded, and the participants rated their emotions and the trait psychotic…
Genetic Variants in the DRD2 Gene Moderate the Relationship Between Stressful Life Events and Depressive Symptoms in Adults
OBJECTIVE: To examine the potential moderating role of DRD2 polymorphism (rs1800497) in the association between stressful life events and depressive symptoms among young adults. Although stressful life events, such as divorce, unemployment, and serious illness in the family, are generally associated with negative health outcomes, including depressive symptoms, there are large individual differences in coping with such events. A number of studies …
Early Risk Factors, Job Strain, and Atherosclerosis Among Men in Their 30s
We examined whether preemployment influences confounded the association between job strain and atherosclerosis. We assessed biological, familial, and socioeconomic risk factors of coronary heart disease at 12 to 18 years of age and job strain and carotid artery intima-media thickness at 33 to 39 years of age for a cohort of 358 men. Adolescent risk factors predicted adult intima-media thickness but had little effect on the dose–response relation …
Childhood Hyperactivity as a Predictor of Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness Over a Period of 21 Years
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether childhood temperament was able to predict carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) and/or its risk factors in adulthood 21 years later. METHODS: The subjects were the three youngest age cohorts of the population-based sample of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study, i.e., those who were aged 3 to 9 years (n = 708) at the baseline. IMT was assessed by ultrasound, and temperament in terms of negative emo…
Cloninger's Temperament Dimensions and Threat, Stress, and Performance Appraisals During Different Challenges Among Young Adults
We examined the relationship of Cloninger's temperament factors—Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Reward Dependence, and Persistence—to perceived threat and stress and performance appraisals during different challenges, i.e., mental arithmetic, the reaction time task, and three public speaking tasks, among 97 young adult men and women. Temperament was measured by the Temperament and Character Inventory. The results showed that, although some of th…

Associations of student temperament and educational competence with academic achievement
Moral Reasoning among Estonian and Finnish Adolescents
The moral reasoning of 14- and 17-year-old Finnish adolescents ( n = 1,230) who grew up in Finland and experienced Western individualistic educational practices was compared with that of adolescents ( n = 428) of the same age who grew up in Estonia during the period of Soviet socialism with collectivist educational practices. The same factors of moral reasoning were found in both samples: legitimization (attributing the responsibility to external…
Social Decision-Making Strategies in Individualist and Collectivist Cultures
Social decision-making strategies among adolescents who grew up in Finland and experienced Western individualistic educational practices (n = 1,123) were compared with adolescents who grew up in Estonia (n = 428) during the period of Soviet collectivist culture. Subjects were provided three everyday social problems, namely mobbing, teasing, and stealing. The fixed alternative solutions for these problems assessed aggressiveness, prosociality, soc…
The Stability of Self-Concept During Adolescence and Early Adulthood
The stability and gender differences of self-concept during adolescence and early adulthood were studied in 894 randomly selected Finnish subjects using the shortened version of the Coopersmith (1967) Self-Esteem Inventory. There were no differences between the men and women in the total score for self-concept. In early adulthood, men scored higher than women on general self-esteem, and women scored higher on the home-parents factor in each devel…

Stability of Personality Dimensions Related to Cancer and Colitis Ulcerosa
34 subjects with colostomy and 32 subjects with ileostomy were studied with Ro, Beck's Depression Inventory and ERS-scale of MMPI. The results showed that the stomy-operation did not have any dramatic psychic effect, but the assumed psychosomatic personality constellation was still dominant, though the disease was “over.”
Rimon's Brief Depression Scale, a Rapid Method for Screening Depression
A brief scale for evaluating depression, called Rimon's Brief Depression Scale, was developed using responses of 103 patients with primary or secondary depression. The validity of the scale was evaluated by comparing scores with those on Beck's Depression Scale. The results showed high reliability and concurrent validity and encourage the adoption of Rimon's scale in general psychological and medical practice
Agreement among Different Measurements of Type a Behavior in Adolescents and Young Adults
Correlations among different measurements of Type A behavior were studied in 1949 randomly selected healthy Finnish adolescents and young adults. Agreement among the tests was very low. There were higher correlations for different measurements evaluated by using self-assessment than for scores on the same test evaluated by the subjects themselves and by observers
The prevalence and construct validity of Type A behaviour in patients with duodenal ulcers
The prevalence and construct validity of Type A behaviour were studied in 34 patients with duodenal ulcers, 35 patients with ulcerative colitis, 37 patients with irritable colon syndrome, 29 patients with gallstone disease and 44 patients with varicose veins. Type A behaviour was measured using the Swedish version of the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) supplemented with some items of the Matthews Youth Test for Health. The results showed that patie…
Problem-solving strategies in aggressive and nonaggressive children
Problem-solving strategies in hypothetical social situations were studied in 103 aggressive and 79 nonaggressive children. Subjects solved six aggression-provoking situations from children's ordinary lives. Causal thinking, alternative thinking, and prognosticating consequences were evaluated. Cognitions of aggressive children differed from those of nonaggressive children. The greatest differences were found not in high aggressiveness but in aggr…
Aggression, self-confidence, and cardiovascular reactions in competitive performance in adolescent boys
Interactions between suggested risk factors for the development of coronary heart disease (namely aggression, competitive performance, and cardiovascular reactions) were studied in 36 adolescent boys. Different manifestations of aggression were measured using a structured interview, the aggression-impatience factor of the MYTH test, and observation. Self-confidence was assessed by means of an interview. The performance tests used were the Stroop …
Prevalence and Sociodemographic Variance of Type a Behavior in Finnish Preadolescents, Adolescents, and Young Adults
The prevalence and sociodemographic variance of Type A behavior was studied among 1,721 preadolescents, adolescents, and young adults in Finland. The AFMS questionnaire (Type A behavior questionnaire for the Finnish Multicenter Study), as self-rated and assessed by mothers, and the Hunter-Wolf A-B Rating Scale (HWolf) were used. There was considerable variation between measures: On the AFMS boys scored higher, whereas on the Hwolf girls scored hi…
Psychosomatic personality’— A personality constellation or an illness‐related reaction
Personality‐specific features as opposed to illness‐related reactions were studied in 101 patients with ulcerative colitis, duodenal ulcers or irritable colon syndrome (experimental group) and 81 patients with gallstone disease, inguinal hernia or varicose veins (control group). The method used was the Lazare—Klerman—Armor personality test. Results indicated that features previously suggested to characterize the experimental group, such as egocen…
