    • Testing and assessing the effects of Family-Aggression Replacement Training (Family ART) 

      Johansen, Nicholas S. (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-02)
      Family Aggression Replacement Training (Family ART) is an expansion of Aggression Replacement Training (ART). The purpose of Family ART is to further enhance social skills and reduce problem behaviour. This is to happen by increasing application of what is learnt in the training sessions, to settings outside that of the training, by actively involving children’s significant persons in the ART ...

    • “They did not kill the seeds”: The struggle for cultural survival and gendered growth among Guatemalan war widows 

      Normann, Susanne (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05)
      Abstract This study explores the relationship between the socio-political context in Guatemala and women’s chosen strategies to struggle for recovery in the aftermath of the war related violence and state terrorism (1960-1996). It examines how the widows in the grassroots organization National Coordinator for Guatemalan Widows (CONAVIGUA) have struggled to “defend life” after surviving the extreme ...

    • Thinking success, behaving successfully: The relation between hypothetical thinking strategies, effort towards goal attainment and grit 

      Sending, Vibeke (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-05)
      This thesis examined the relation between hypothetical thinking strategies and grit defined as the “perseverance and passion for long-term goals” (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007, p. 1087). The scale measuring grit was translated using parallel blind technique, in order to examine grit in a Norwegian population, and administered to 143 participants at UiT recruited online (study 1). Two ...

    • Usage, reading and interpreting of nonverbal signs of erotic interest among Norwegian lesbians 

      Potapova, Elena (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-02)
      The main aim of the present qualitative study was to explore the means of nonverbal communication lesbian women display to signal interest/sexual attraction to a potential female partner, and what nonverbal markers of communication lesbians evaluate as signs of erotic interest when addressed to them. Different learning processes through/in which women acquire and internalize these nonverbal behaviors ...

    • Using if-then planning to change attitudes towards meat 

      Tisthammer, Kelsey Kristine (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-02)
      Abstract In the present research, we investigated whether processing if-then plans as content in advertisements could induce changes in attitudes towards meat. If-then planning has conventionally been used as a self-regulation strategy in the field of goal attainment, but more current research has suggested that the underlying mechanisms that make them effective in goal attainment can also enable ...

    • Verbal Measure, or Graphic Measure, or Both? Psychometric Study of Organizational Identification 

      Moksness, Lars (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-04-25)
      For å måle organisasjonsidentitet undersøkte dette forskningsprosjektet vitenskapelige ansatte ved et norsk universitet (N = 74), og ansatte i et norsk multinasjonalt selskap (N = 244). Tidligere forskning, rollen til sosial identitetsteori i organisasjonsidentitet, og en gjennomgang av målemetoder ble presentert. Data ble samlet inn med Identification with a Psychological Group Scale (IDPG) som ...

    • Vil aldersrelaterte endringer i respirasjonsmekanismer hos middelaldrende og friske eldre påvirke utføring av kognitive verbale oppgaver? 

      Jakobsen, Mona Lovise Kvalsvik (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-11)
      Redusert raskhet på grunn av nedsatte psykomotoriske funksjoner ved normal aldring er velkjent og aldersrelatert nedgang påvirker kognitive mekanismer. Basert på disse faktorene, vil denne studien undersøke hvorvidt aldersrelaterte endringer i pustemekanismer påvirker nedgang i verbale ferdigheter og den sikter også å evaluere om de er assosiert med generell kognitiv fungering. 45 friske deltakere ...

    • Wandering body, wandering mind? The relationship between bodily movement, creativity and mind wandering 

      Opdal, Ida Marie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-04)
      It has long been hypothesized that creativity may be related to mind wandering. Recent work has shown that bodily movement is related to both creativity and mind wandering. In the current experiment, we examined the question as to whether mind wandering and creativity would be simultaneously enhanced during an active walking condition relative to an inactive control condition. The experiment included ...

    • What predicts student decision to leave? A new perspective on academic attrition 

      Nemtcan, Efim (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2019-05-02)
      The issue of attrition from higher education is a significant problem across Europe and especially Norway, where dropout rates are as high as 20-25%. In the current study, we address the issue from the perspective of attrition intentions that have been found closely associated with actual attrition behavior. In particular, we attempted to differentiate between types of students’ attrition intentions: ...

    • Why Bother to Participate? What Influences Student Motivation to Participate in Student Evaluations of Teaching (SET)? 

      Hoel, Anniken (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-02)
      When response rates on student evaluation of teaching (SET) are low, the results cannot be interpreted as reliable and therefore not be used as intended. The low response rates, followed by departments inability to properly interpret responses from the students who do participate is a big problem. Where does the motivation to participate break down, and where and how does it make sense for the ...

    • Words lead to action. Do incompatible movements interfere with verbal stimulus-response learning? 

      Skjoldli, Are (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-03)
      Abstract Embodied cognition research has shown that bodily activity could affect cognitive processes in multiple ways. It has for instance been theorized that when we process language related to physical actions such as the word “push”, we automatically use the motor-areas of the brain to simulate our understanding of this concept, much like actually performing a pushing action. In this study, I ...

    • Work Life and Mental Health, Employees’ Perspective 

      Leifson, Anita Krüger (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-04)
      Abstract Minor mental disorders are widespread and may have significant consequences for the individual, their family and colleagues, as well as for the society (Mykletun & Knudsen, 2009). The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges and experiences employees with mental health problems have with maintaining employment. Hopefully, this will provide an increased understanding of how ...
