Faktorer som henger sammen med ungdommers fordommer mot temaet psykisk helse
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-08-01)Hovedoppgaven var en del av et større forskningsprosjekt i regi av professorene Ingunn Skre og Rannveig Grøm Sæle. Tidligere studier har forsøkt å kartlegge faktorer som henger sammen med å ha fordommer mot temaet psykisk helse hos ungdom. Kjønn og alder har vist seg å være av betydning, da å være yngre og å være gutt henger sammen mer fordommer mot temaet. Det finnes imidlertid ikke nok studier til ... -
Familiestruktur og atferdsforstyrrelser blant barn henvist til spesialisthelsetjenesten: Er det forskjeller mellom ene– og toforelderfamilier?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-04-28)Det er en vekst i antall barn som bor sammen med en av sine foreldre. Flere studier viser at barn som vokser opp i eneforelderfamilier har større sannsynlighet for å vise atferdsforstyrrelser. Det er viktig med økt kunnskap om hvordan denne risikofaktoren henger sammen med atferdsproblemer for å kunne sette inn forebyggende tiltak og bedre behandlingseffekten av tiltak for denne gruppen. Alle barna ... -

Information on the fear of diseases can be relevant for both public health information purposes and clinical setting diagnostics. However, very few studies have investigated the fear of diseases in individuals over the age of 50. We used an electronic survey ... -

Feedback Effects on Mind Wandering: A Series of Online Experiments
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-01)Replicating in-lab experiments online can ensure scientific progress when physical contact is discouraged, like during the covid-19 pandemic. In this thesis, we replicated the results from Boayue et al. (2021) in-lab Mind Wandering (MW) experiment online. The task uses the Finger-Tapping Random Sequence Generation Task, a sustained attention task, equating MW with Task Unrelated Thoughts (TUTs). In ... -
Feeling and Thinking about It Are Two Different Things: How to Capture Momentary Emotions of Extreme Sports in the Field
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-24)To learn about extreme sports and what motivates such activities, we need to understand the emotions embedded in the experience itself. However, how we go about assessing these emotions might provide us with very different answers. An experience is a fleeting and ever-changing phenomenon, rich in detail and filled with nuances. What we remember and, therefore, what we are able to report from our ... -
Feeling out of place: Internalized age stereotypes are associated with older employees’ sense of belonging and social motivation.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-05)Older employees are not only confronted with subtle negative stereotypes about cognitive decline, but they also tend to internalize these negative stereotypes (i.e., they agree with the idea that intellectual performance declines in old age and they feel affected by this decline). Previous research has shown that internalizing negative age stereotypes has detrimental effects on work-related outcomes. ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-11-17)In the current study 13 BASE-jumpers and 18 skydivers reported their emotions immediately after a jump and after a 24 hours delay, using verbal (Likert-like scales) and visual (Feelometer) emotional report. Heart rate measures were also collected during, and 24 hours after the jump. The Feelometer is a newly developed tool enabling the participants to give a moment-to-moment report from a particular ... -
Female rat sexual behavior is unaffected by perinatal fluoxetine exposure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)Serotonin plays an important role in adult female sexual behavior, however little is known about the influence of serotonin during early development on sexual functioning in adulthood. During early development, serotonin acts as neurotrophic factor, while it functions as a modulatory neurotransmitter in adulthood. The occurrence of serotonin release, could thus have different effects on behavioral ... -

Field Notes from the Quest for the First use of Acculturation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)Quest begin in the vauge way, as an interest or an orientation, and maybe as a collection of skills. I was probably bent towards this quest at Queen's University, where I was mentored in cross-cultural psychology by John Berry, where I served as a TA in Milt Suboski's statistics and research methods courses, and where I learned the lore of history of psychology with David Murray. Quests often begin ... -
Filtered beauty in Oslo and Tokyo: A spatial frequency analysis of facial attractiveness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-14)Images of European female and male faces were digitally processed to generate spatial frequency (SF) filtered images containing only a narrow band of visual information within the Fourier spectrum. The original unfiltered images and four SF filtered images (low, medium-low, medium-high and high) were then paired in trials that kept constant SF band and face gender and participants made a forced-choice ... -

The first independent study on the complex trial protocol version of the P300-based concealed information test: Corroboration of previous findings and highlights on vulnerabilities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-15)More than a dozen studies of the Complex Trial Protocol (CTP) version of the P300-based Concealed Information Test have been published since its introduction (Rosenfeld et al., 2008), and it has been fairly consistently proven to provide high accuracy and strong resistance to countermeasures (Rosenfeld et al., 2013). However, no independent authors have verified these findings until now. In the ... -
First trans-diagnostic experiences with a novel micro-choice based concentrated group rehabilitation for patients with low back pain, long COVID, and type 2 diabetes: a pilot study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-11)Background - The health care is likely to break down unless we are able to increase the level of functioning for the growing number of patients with complex, chronic illnesses. Hence, novel high-capacity and cost-effective treatments with trans-diagnostic effects are warranted. In accordance with the protocol paper, we aimed to examine the acceptability, satisfaction, and effectiveness of an ...
