    • Spared performance but increased uncertainty in schizophrenia: Evidence from a probabilistic decision-making task 

      Kreis, Isabel Viola; Zhang, Lei; Moritz, Steffen; Pfuhl, Gerit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Aberrant attribution of salience to in fact little informative events might explain the emergence of positive symptoms in schizophrenia and has been linked to belief uncertainty. Uncertainty is thought to be encoded by neuromodulators, including norepinephrine. However, norepinephrinergic encoding of uncertainty, measured as task-related pupil dilation, has rarely been explored in schizophrenia. ...
    • Speech acts addressed to Hadza infants in Tanzania: Cross-cultural comparison, speaker age, and camp livelihood 

      Abels, Monika; Kilale, Andrew Martin; Vogt, Paul (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-20)
      This study deals with speech acts addressed to Hadza infants in Tanzania, a group that has traditionally lived off hunting and gathering. Three research questions are addressed: How do Hadza speech acts compare with those found in previous studies in other cultures? Are there differences between child and adult speakers? And do speech acts differ with camp livelihood patterns? Speech acts are seen ...
    • Stable organization of the early lexical-semantic network in 18- and 24-month-old preterm and full-term infants: an eye-tracker study 

      Rago, Anett; Varga, Zsuzsanna; Szabo, Miklos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)
      Introduction: An organized mental lexicon determines new information acquisition by orienting attention during language processing. Adult-like lexicalsemantic knowledge organization has already been demonstrated in 24-montholds. However, the outcomes of earlier studies have been contradictory in terms of the organizational capacities of 18-month-olds, thus our aim was to examine lexical-semantic ...

      Smith, Daniel; Martiny, Sarah E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12)
      Stereotype-threat theory holds that activation of a negative stereotype has a harmful effect on performance in cognitive and motor domains. This paper provides a literature review of stereotype-threat research in the motor domain followed by recommendations for sport psychology practitioners. The review discusses the most widespread stereotypes that exist in sport, the effects of stereotype activation ...
    • Stereotype threat-effects for Turkish-origin migrants in Germany: Taking stock of cumulative research evidence 

      Froehlich, Laura; Mok, Sog Yee; Martiny, Sarah E.; Deaux, Kay (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-24)
      Turkish-origin migrants on average show lower academic performance than Germans. This achievement gap cannot be fully explained by socio-economic differences between the groups. Negative competence stereotypes about Turkish-origin students predict the causal attributions that German preservice teachers make for migrants’ academic underperformance. Specifically, the more strongly preservice teachers ...

    • Stressful life events and resilience in individuals with and without a history of eating disorders: a latent class analysis 

      Lie, Selma; Wisting, Line Norøm; Stedal, Kristin; Rø, Øyvind; Friborg, Oddgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)
      Background - Eating disorders (EDs) are associated with a range of stressful life events, but few have investigated protective factors that may affect these associations. The current study used mixture modelling to describe typologies in life stress exposure and availability of protective resources in individuals with and without eating disorders (EDs).<p> <p>Methods - A case – control sample ...
    • Striving for wellbeing: The different roles of hedonia and eudaimonia in goal pursuit and goal achievement 

      Thorsteinsen, Kjærsti; Vittersø, Joar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-09)
      Goals are central to theories of happiness and previous research has shown that successful goal pursuit typically leads to a boost in wellbeing. Taking these ideas further, the current study adopts the distinction between hedonic wellbeing (HWB) and eudaimonic wellbeing (EWB) and suggests that it is the former that increases when goals are achieved. By contrast, EWB is hypothesized to have a causal ...

    • Studies of sociosexual interactions in rats in an externally valid procedure: Are they relevant for understanding human sexual behavior? 

      Chu, Xi; Ågmo, Anders j (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05)
      When a prolonged observation of groups of rats in a seminatural environment is used as testing procedure, different behavioral patterns are shown compared with what observed in a pair housed in a small cage. Males and females copulate simultaneously, they show a promiscuously and random copulatory pattern. Females remain completely receptive from the first lordosis displayed in the period of behavioral ...
    • Study Habits and Procrastination: The Role of Academic Self-Efficacy 

      Svartdal, Frode; Sæle, Rannveig Grøm; Dahl, Tove I.; Nemtcan, Efim; Gamst-Klaussen, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-03)
      Inefficient study skills increase the probability that study work is perceived as difficult and aversive, with procrastination as a likely result. As a remedy, more effective study skills and habits may be encouraged. However, research indicates that good study skills and habits may not by themselves be sufficient to remedy problems, as this relationship may be mediated by efficacy beliefs related ...
    • Study protocol: Prevalence of low energy availability and its relation to health and performance among female football players. 

      Rosenvinge, Jan H; Dasa, Marcus Småvik; Kristoffersen, Morten; Pettersen, Gunn; Sundgot-Borgen, Jorunn; Sagen, Jørn Vegard; Friborg, Oddgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-10)
      Enduring low energy availability (LEA) is associated with several potentially serious physiological and mental conditions. LEA has been found highly prevalent among female elite athletes within endurance sports, thus hampering athletes’ health and performance. The prevalence and the underpinning risk factors of LEA among female elite football players are less studied. One reason is that the existing ...

    • Substituting facial movements in singers changes the sounds of musical intervals 

      Laeng, Bruno; Kuyateh, Sarjo; Kelkar, Tejaswinee (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)
      Cross-modal integration is ubiquitous within perception and, in humans, the McGurk effect demonstrates that seeing a person articulating speech can change what we hear into a new auditory percept. It remains unclear whether cross-modal integration of sight and sound generalizes to other visible vocal articulations like those made by singers. We surmise that perceptual integrative effects should ...
    • Suicidal tendencies as correlates of disability measures 

      Båtstad, Helge; Rudmin, Floyd Webster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-27)
      Abstract Disabilities and resultant handicaps may impair health-related quality of life to the degree that individuals feel that life is not worth living. Using archived 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey data, this study found that each of seven measures of disabilities (Health Utilities Index sub-scales of problems in (1) vision, (2) hearing, (3) speech, (4) mobility, (5) dexterity, (6) ...
    • Sweet spot in music—Is predictability preferred among persons with psychotic-like experiences or autistic traits? 

      Lisøy, Rebekka Solvik; Pfuhl, Gerit; Sunde, Hans Fredrik; Biegler, Robert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      People prefer music with an intermediate level of predictability; not so predictable as to be boring, yet not so unpredictable that it ceases to be music. This sweet spot for predictability varies due to differences in the perception of predictability. The symptoms of both psychosis and Autism Spectrum Disorder have been attributed to overestimation of uncertainty, which predicts a preference ...
