American Football Players in Finland: the Cultural Differences
American football players in Finland: The cultural differences Mikael Viljanen Bachelor’s thesis 2019 Summary Author Mikael Viljanen Degree programme Liiketalouden koulutusohjelma (Eng. Bachelors of Business Administrations) The title of the thesis Pages American football players in Finland: The cultural differences 43 + 33 The goal for this research was to discover and analyze the cultural differences between Finnish and American cultures, more specifically between Finnish and American athletes playing American football in Finland. This was done by interviewing American athletes who have played American football in Finland as professional import players. The interview the writer held was a qualitative open-ended question interview and was conducted to five American athletes who have played American football in Finland. The framework for this thesis is earlier cross-cultural research about Finland and United States. The writer uses the cultural dimension theories by cross-cultural researchers Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars to research about the ways in which the two research groups could be culturally different. Despite Finnish and American culture are perceived quite similar to each other in the theo- retical framework of this thesis, this thesis did find out there is distinctive differences be- tween Finnish and American culture according to the research interviews. The cultural dif- ferences are mostly in the cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism, masculin- ity, specificness and affectiveness of the researched Finnish and American cultures. This thesis explains what each of these cultural dimensions stand for, as well as explaining the theory of cultural dimensions in general. An important background difference between the two research groups is that the game of American football is played very differently in Finland and in United States. -

Migration in globalized sport Finnish ice hockey players in Russia Alexandros Tarasanski Master’s Thesis Department of Sport Sciences Social Sciences of Sport University of Jyväskylä Spring 2016 1 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Department of Sport Sciences/ Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences TARASANSKI, ALEXANDROS Migration in globalized sport. Finnish ice hockey players in Russia. Master’s thesis, 63 pages Social Sciences of sport ABSTRACT During the last five years the number of Finnish ice hockey players migrating to Russia has significantly increased. Despite this fact scarce research has been done in this field. Moreover, comparing to the progress that has been achieved in other areas of sociology of sport, much more work needs to be done, in sports transnational migration both at a theoretical and empirical level. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how the migration period in Russia is perceived by Finnish professional ice hockey players by exploring and interpreting their personal experiences. More specifically, it is asked in this study for which reasons Finnish ice-hockey players migrate to Russia. Moreover, dimensions related to the adaptation process and how it affects the performance of the athletes among with the perceived by the players’ differences between the Finnish and Russian ice hockey cultures are examined. A qualitative phenomenological research method is applied in this thesis. This particular method fits well for the purpose of the study, because it allows to develop a composite description and interpretation of the essence of the experience of the professional Finnish ice hockey players who have migrated to Russia. The data is collected by semi-structured interviews of athletes who have played in Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for Russian clubs. -

The status of disability sports in physical culture has strengthened over the years and attitudes towards it have become more positive. The Paralympic Movement has reached worldwide dimensions and the same holds true for Special Olympics activities for people with intellectual disabilities.
