Objective Versus Subjective Effort in Schizophrenia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-09)<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Performance on cognitive tasks is often impaired in individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ), possibly resulting from either cognitive deficits (e.g., limited working memory capacity) or diminished mental effort or both. Investment of mental effort itself can be affected by cognitive resources, task load, and motivational factors and has thus proven difficult to measure. ... -

Om ansvar og å hjelpe seg selv
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2014)Som de sosiale dyrene vi er, søker vi råd hos våre medmennesker når vi har behov for hjelp og veiledning. Noen velger å gå til psykolog. Andre rådfører seg med sin(e) gode venn(er) for anerkjennelse og støtte. Andre går til prest for innspill. Noen velger å ikke gå til noen. Alt kan funke. -
On the behavioral side of procrastination: Exploring behavioral delay in real-life settings
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-16)This paper examines how procrastinators behave differently from non-procrastinators in implementing intended behavior. By focusing on time-related attributes of behavior, we demonstrate in five studies (aggregated N = 965) that onset delay seems to be a preferred option for procrastinators in common daily situations. Thus, when an action possibility is available for intended behavior, procrastinators ... -
On the efficiency of neurally-informed cognitive models to identify latent cognitive states
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-25)Psychological theory is advanced through empirical tests of predictions derived from quantitative cognitive models. As cognitive models are developed and extended, they tend to increase in complexity–leading to more precise predictions–which places concomitant demands on the behavioral data used to discriminate between candidate theories. To aid discrimination between cognitive models and, more ... -
On the measurement of procrastination: Comparing two scales in six European countries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-31)Procrastination is a common problem, but defining and measuring it has been subject to some debate. This paper summarizes results from students and employees (N = 2893) in Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, and Sweden using the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) and the Irrational Procrastination Scale (IPS; Steel, 2010), both assumed to measure unidimensional and closely related constructs. ... -

The Opioid Receptor Mu 1 (OPRM1) rs1799971 and Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) rs4680 as genetic markers for placebo analgesia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-16)The placebo effect is considered the core example of mind-body interactions. However, individual differences produce large placebo response variability in both healthy volunteers and patients. The placebo response in pain, placebo analgesia, may be dependent on both the opioid system and the dopaminergic system. Previous studies suggest that genetic variability affects the function of these 2 systems. ... -
Optimizing the RMET to measure bias not performance differences
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-22)<p>Background: Human social interaction and communication is complex. Sending a verbal message is often accompanied by intonations, facial expressions, grimaces, and body postures. Nonverbal signals are potentially open for misinterpretation. One popular test for assessing the interpretation of facial expressions is the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test (RMET). This test has been used to relate ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-03)<i>Background</i> - As epidemiological data on child mental health in low- and middle-income countries are limited, a large-scale survey was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and amount of child emotional and behavioral problems (EBP) in Nepal as reported by the parents.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - 3820 schoolchildren aged 6–18 years were selected from 16 districts of the three geographical ... -
Parent-Endorsed Sex Differences in Toddlers with and Without ASD: Utilizing the M-CHAT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-18)Sex differences in typical development can provide context for understanding ASD. It has been suggested that ASD could be considered an extreme expression of normal male, compared to female, phenotypic profiles. In this paper, sex-specific M-CHAT scores from N=53,728 18-month old toddlers, including n=185 (32 females) receiving an ASD diagnosis, were examined. Results suggest a nuanced view of the ... -
Parents’ hyper-pitch and low vowel category variability in infant-directed speech are associated with 18-month-old toddlers’ expressive vocabulary
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-31)The present study examines the acoustic properties of infant-directed speech (IDS) as compared to adult-directed speech (ADS) in Norwegian parents of 18-month-old toddlers, and whether these properties relate to toddlers’ expressive vocabulary size. Twenty-one parent-toddler dyads from Tromsø, Northern Norway participated in the study. Parents (16 mothers, 5 fathers), speaking a Northern Norwegian ... -
Past Negative Consequences of Unnecessary Delay as a Marker of Procrastination
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-21)Standard definitions of procrastination underscore the irrational nature of this habit, a critical criterion being that the procrastinating individual delays despite expecting to be worse off for the delay. However, an examination of more than 175 items in 18 procrastination scales reveals that they do not address such a forward-looking criterion. Consequently, scales run the risk of not separating ... -

The PED-t trial protocol: The effect of physical exercise – and dietary therapy compared with cognitive behavior therapy in treatment of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-12)Background: <br> Sufferers from bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) underestimate the severity risk of their illness and, therefore, postpone seeking professional help for years. Moreover, less than one in five actually seek professional help and only 50% respond to current treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The impetus for the present trial is to explore a ... -

Although beneficial to physical health, the perception of physical distancing and related restrictions could impact mental health. In a pre-registered online survey, we assessed how effective a range of restrictions were perceived, ... -
Perinatal fluoxetine exposure changes social and stress-coping behavior in adult rats housed in a seminatural environment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-06)The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) during pregnancy has increased tremendously, but the consequences for the offspring remain largely unclear. Several studies have described potential effects of perinatal SSRI-exposure on neurobehavioral outcomes using simplified rodent test set-ups, however these set-ups only assess a small fraction of the behavior. For translational purposes ...
