Emotional Infant Face Processing in Women With Major Depression and Expecting Parents With Depressive Symptoms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-02)Processing of emotional facial expressions is of great importance in interpersonal relationships. Aberrant engagement with facial expressions, particularly an engagement with sad faces, loss of engagement with happy faces, and enhanced memory of sadness has been found in depression. Since most studies used adult faces, we here examined if such biases also occur in processing of infant faces in those ... -

Male rat sexual behavior: Insights from inter-copulatory intervals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-09)The assessment of sexual behavior in male rats with the aim of unraveling underlying neurobiological mechanisms has in the recent decades been reduced to the annotation of mounts, intromissions and ejaculations. To provide a better understanding of the structure and patterns of copulation, it is necessary to extend and tailor the analysis to the natural organization of male rat copulation. This will ... -

Working for the Best or Bracing for the Worst? Approach and Avoidance Motivation in Planning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-11)Even though planning is generally helpful in goal pursuit, people do not always choose to plan. The inclination to plan might depend on whether we focus on what we seek to approach or what we seek to avoid. In two pre-registered experiments, we tested the relative effect of approach versus avoidance motivation on willingness to plan (total <i>N</i>=1349). With outcome framing as the experimental ... -
Distracting stimuli evoke ventral tegmental area responses in rats during ongoing saccharin consumption
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-11)Disruptions in attention, salience and increased distractibility are implicated in multiple psychiatric conditions. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a potential site for converging information about external stimuli and internal states to be integrated and guide adaptive behaviours. Given the dual role of dopamine signals in both driving ongoing behaviours (e.g., feeding) and monitoring salient ... -
Resonance frequency is not always stable over time and could be related to the inter‑beat interval
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-16)Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB) is based on breathing at an optimal rate (or resonance frequency, RF) corresponding to the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Our aim is to check whether the RF is a stable factor and analyse the HRV parameters individually per each breathing rate, comparing it with free slow breathing. A sample of 21 participants were trained in a test–retest HRVB ... -
Rat ultrasonic vocalizations and novelty-induced social and non-social investigation behavior in a seminatural environment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)Although rats are known to emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), it remains unclear whether these calls serve an auditory communication purpose. For USVs to be part of communication, the vocal signals will need to be a transfer of information between two or more conspecifics, and with the possibility to induce changes in the behavior of the recipient. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate ... -
Sexual incentive motivation and male and female copulatory behavior in female rats given androgen from postnatal day 20
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-12)Masculinization and feminization of rat sexual behavior has been supposed to occur during a short postnatal period. However, much data have made it evident that these processes may continue until adolescence. In the present study, we evaluated whether androgen treatment of females from postnatal day 20 and onwards could alter sexual motivation and behavior in a male direction. Juveniles were ... -
Ticket To Ride: A Longitudinal Journey to Work Engagement and Health in the JD-R model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-19)The present study addresses one of the limitations of the JD-R model, namely, that analyses of the outcomes of the motivational process have largely focused on organizational outcomes and have neglected to investigate the associations between job resources, work engagement and health-related outcomes. Specifically, the aim of this paper is to show that health-related indicators may be outcomes of ... -
The effects of brief mindfulness training on attentional processes: mindfulness increases prepulse facilitation but not prepulse inhibition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-17)Mindfulness is intentional focus of one’s attention on emotions, thoughts, or sensations occurring in the present moment with a nonjudgmental attitude. Recently there has been increased interest in the effects of mindfulness practice on psychological processes such as concentration, focus, and attention. In the present study, a prepulse inhibition/facilitation (PPI/PPF) paradigm was employed to ... -
Effects of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic-interpersonal treatments for eating disorders: a meta-analytic inquiry into the role of patient characteristics and change in eating disorder-specific and general psychopathology in remission
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-26)Background - Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic-interpersonal therapies (PIT) are two widely used and conceptually different outpatient treatments for eating disorders (EDs). To better understand how these treatments works, for whom, and under what circumstances, there is a need for knowledge about how outcomes are affected by diagnosis, comorbidity, changes in psychopathology, and ... -
Regression-based norms for the FAS phonemic fluency test for ages 40–84 based on a Norwegian sample
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-08)<p>The FAS phonemic fluency test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of executive function and processing speed. Although Norwegian discrete norms have been developed for the FAS test, American regression-based norms are frequently used by clinicians in Norway. <p>However, language and cultural differences impact performance on the FAS test, and using foreign norms may not be appropriate. ... -
