    • Evaluering av kontrafaktisk positive utfall: Når det negative blir positivt 

      Gjerpe, Petter (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-05)
      Kontrafaktiske tanker viser til tenkte alternativer av hva som faktisk skjedde – hva som kunne skjedd. Hvis de kontrafaktiske tankene fokuserer på noe mer negativt enn det faktiske utfallet (nedoversammenligninger), vil dette medføre en mer positiv evaluering av det faktiske utfallet. På denne måten kan selv negative utfall oppleves positivt. En rekke vignettstudier har vist at der det nesten gikk ...

    • Exploring the Relationship Between Feeling of Rightness and Recall: A Study Challenging Dual Process Theory 

      Tveit, Nora (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-04-28)
