  • Multiple social positions and well-being among Nordic adolescents

    Open AccessJasmine Gustafsson, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    BACKGROUND: Research on well-being inequalities has typically examined the independent effects of social positions, often overlooking how the interplay of multiple social categorizations can shape well-being outcomes. This study explored how multiple social positions based on gender, age, immigrant background, family structure, and perceived family socioeconomic status shape patterns of inequality in three well-being outcomes-psychosomatic compla…

  • Stress-induced eating and drinking and their associations with weight among women and men during 30-year follow-up

    Open AccessElena Rosenqvist, Olli Kiviruusu et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Stress is associated with obesity through several mechanisms, including coping methods used in stressful situations. However, long-term prospective studies investigating stress-induced eating and drinking in parallel and their relationships with weight are scarce. PURPOSE: We examined the prevalence of stress-induced eating and drinking and their associations with body mass index (BMI) among women and men during a 30-year follow-up, a…

  • Social support and online interaction and their links to psychosocial well‐being among Nordic adolescents

    Open AccessJasmine Gustafsson, Inga Jasinskaja‐lahti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025References: 14

    The Nordic countries are among the most digitally advanced societies in the world. Past research suggests that both social support offline and interaction online are linked to adolescent psychological adjustment. However, less is known regarding the complex implications of distinctive sources of social support offline and online interaction for a broader range of indices of adolescent psychosocial well-being, including its contemporary forms such…

  • Parenthood and changes in self-esteem and meaningfulness during the life course

    Open AccessJenna Grundström, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2025References: 7

    After becoming parent, earlier increasing change patterns of self-esteem and meaning in life stabilized for men, while among women increases continued up to toddlerhood phase before stabilizing. Compared with non-parents, parents had better mental well-being during the life course, but to a considerable extent, the differences seemed to be related to other sociodemographic factors

  • Reciprocal associations between parenthood and mental well-being – a prospective analysis from age 16 to 52 years

  • Interpretative repertoires of long-term weight management

    Open AccessAnu Joki, Satu Venäläinen et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2023

    OBJECTIVE: Public health messages encourage maintaining a stable weight and are influential in shaping normative weight management discourses. We studied how individuals with different weight maintenance histories constructed relations to these discourses in their sense-making on weight management. DESIGN: Our study used critical discursive psychology (CDP) as a theoretical and methodological framework for examining the accounts of 20 lifelong we…

  • A dual process model to predict adolescents’ screen time and physical activity

    Open AccessMatthias Burkard Aulbach, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2023

    OBJECTIVE: Many adolescents report a lack of physical activity (PA) and excess screen time (ST). Psychological theories aiming to understand these behaviours typically focus on predictors of only one behaviour. Yet, behaviour enactment is often a choice between options. This study sought to examine predictors of PA and ST in a single model. Variables were drawn from dual process models, which portray behaviour as the outcome of deliberative and a…

  • The associations of socioeconomic status and financial strain with restrained and emotional eating among 42-year-old women and men

  • Latent profile analysis as a method for process evaluations

    Open AccessMargaret Beattie, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2022References: 3

    This study shows how more person-centered analyses can be utilized in process evaluations, which predominantly only make use of variable-centered analyses. This knowledge could suggest ways to tailor universal interventions for subgroups with different receipt profiles and thereby improve intervention acceptability and engagement

  • Associations between relationship status and mental well-being in different life phases from young to middle adulthood

    Open AccessJenna Grundström, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2021

    The aim of this study was to assess the associations between relationship status and mental well-being in four different phases during the life course, and to identify whether relationship quality moderated these associations. We used a broader concept of relationship status (instead of marital status) and also included the positive dimension of mental health. Participants in a Finnish cohort study were followed up at ages 22 (N = 1,656), 32 (N =…

  • Exploration of Finnish adults’ successful weight management over the life course

    Open AccessAnu Joki, Johanna Mäkelä et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Based on our interviews, we conclude that childhood was important in the development of the health-promoting lifestyle of our interviewees. However, weight management was described as a journey over the life course, and success also encouraged skills of identifying risks and adjusting actions to cope with challenging situations

  • Preschool Environmental Factors, Parental Socioeconomic Status, and Children’s Sedentary Time

    Open AccessSuvi Määttä, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Preschool children's high levels of sedentary time (ST) is a public health concern. As preschool reaches a large population of children from different socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, more knowledge on how the preschool setting is associated with children's ST is relevant. Our aims were to examine (1) the associations of preschool setting (covering social, physical, and organizational level) with children's ST, and (2) the moderating role …

  • Socioeconomic Status and Physical Functioning

    Open AccessLei Yang, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2017Cited by: 1References: 15

    This study provides no support either for the cumulative disadvantage or age-as-leveler theory. Improving financial status and accessibility of health care services, especially in lower social classes, may help to improve the overall level of physical functioning of the older adults

  • Socioeconomic Position and Antidepressant Use as Predictors of Coronary Heart Disease Mortality

    Hanna Konttinen, Fanny Kilpi et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2016

    OBJECTIVE: The interplay between depression and socioeconomic position (SEP) in predicting cardiovascular outcomes has rarely been examined. We investigated whether SEP modified the effect of antidepressant use on coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality. METHODS: The data consisted of an 11% random sample of the Finnish population aged 40 to 79 years at the end of 1999 with an oversample of 80% of those who died in 2000 to 2007. Participants free …

  • Genetic causal beliefs about morbidity

    Open AccessAri Haukkala, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Despite increased public discussion of genomics, the relative proportion of those who endorse genetic factors as the most important cause of morbidity has remained low. However, within this group beliefs about benefits of health behavior changes have become more positive. This could indicate that increase in genomic health information does not lead to more negative appraisals of efficacy of lifestyle changes

  • Gender-related personality traits, self-efficacy, and social support

    Open AccessNelli Hankonen, Nelli E Hankonen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2014Cited by: 1References: 49

    This study investigated whether gender-role related traits agency and communion contribute to successful health behavior change, in an interplay with domain-specific psychosocial factors, namely, agency, mediated by health-related self-efficacy, and communion, moderated by social support. Data from women ( N = 282) participating in the GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Agency and increase in sel…

  • Sense of Coherence, Depressive Symptoms, Cardiovascular Diseases, and All-Cause Mortality

    Ari Haukkala, Hanna Konttinen et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

    OBJECTIVE: There is increasing interest in whether positive and negative psychological constructs are bipolar opposites of the same phenomenon. We examine whether a positive construct--sense of coherence (SOC)--has independent predictive power over and above depressive symptoms for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. METHODS: Participants included 3850 men and 4083 women aged 25 to 74 years who had participated in risk factor su…

  • A diet following Finnish nutrition recommendations does not contribute to the current epidemic of obesity

    Open AccessNoora Kanerva, Niina E Kaartinen et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective Recently, the general public opinion is that nutritional recommendations promote obesity rather than prevent it. We created the Recommended Finnish Diet Score (RFDS) that illustrates the Finnish nutrition recommendations and assessed whether this score is associated with BMI, waist circumference (WC) and body fat percentage (BF%). Design Cross-sectional study included two phases of the National FINRISK 2007 Study. Diet was assessed usin…

  • Socio-economic disparities in the consumption of vegetables, fruit and energy-dense foods

    Open AccessHanna Konttinen, Sirpa Sarlio-Lähteenkorva et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective A low socio-economic status (SES) is related to less healthy dietary habits, but the reasons for this remain unclear. We examined whether the absolute or relative importance of various food choice motives contributed to SES disparities in vegetable/fruit and energy-dense food intake. Design We analysed cross-sectional data from the FINRISK Study 2007 by means of structural equation modelling and used a shortened version of the Food Choi…
