    • 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 ...

Gjennom resonneringsoppgaver har denne forskningen vist at system 2 produserer normativt korrekte svar, og system 1 produserer feilaktige intuitive svar, og at ...

Facilitating flow experiences among regular exercisers can be beneficial in terms of promoting long-term physical activity engagement. In a longitudinal study we explored possible factors predicting flow experiences in exercisers by measuring ...

      Warholm, Vegard Stokka (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-05-14)

Recently, happiness research has provided empirical evidence for a distinction between the emotions “interest” and “pleasure” (Vittersø, Overwien & ...

      Numerical probabilities representing health risks or treatment benefits are constantly communicated to the general public.

However, researchers have questioned the definitional clarity of the mindset construct and recent meta-analyses have reported confusing findings, such as interventions only having an effect on academic achievement if manipulation checks fail. This poses ...
