suhtautumisella

Suhtautumisella is the adessive form of the Finnish noun suhtautuminen, which means attitude, stance, or approach toward something. In usage, it denotes the attitude or stance held toward a topic, person, or situation and is often used to describe how that attitude influences judgment, behavior, or decision-making.

Grammatically, suhtautumisella is formed from suhtautuminen plus the adessive suffix -lla, indicating the manner or basis of consideration. The term is commonly used in formal or analytic writing to emphasize the role of attitude as a factor in interpretation, evaluation, or action. It can be paired with possessives to specify whose attitude is being referred to, for example kansalaisten suhtautumisella or opiskelijoiden suhtautumisella.

Usage and contexts vary. The phrase is frequent in policy discussions, social research, and organizational analysis, where researchers or commentators want to describe how a group’s attitude toward a topic affects outcomes. In descriptive language, suhtautumisella can express the idea “in terms of attitude” or “by virtue of one’s attitude,” distinguishing it from other factors such as knowledge or resources.

Examples:

- Kansalaisten suhtautumisella ilmastonmuutokseen on merkittävä vaikutus energiapolitiikan hyväksyntään.

- Organisaation suhtautumisella uusiin teknologioihin on ollut suuri vaikutus käyttöönoton nopeuteen.

- Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan, miten opiskelijoiden suhtautumisella uuteen opetusmenetelmään vaikuttaa oppimistuloksiin.
