Hensikten med denne studien var å undersøke sammenhengen mellom voksen tilknytningsstil hos menn og hvordan de knytter seg til barnet sitt, gjennom fenomenet bonding, og om symptomer på depresjon kunne mediere en slik mulig sammenheng. Bonding beskrives som et mentalt, emosjonelt og atferdsmessig bånd fra omsorgsgiver til barn. Man vet noe om at mødre med depresjon og utrygg voksen tilknytningsstil ...

Background: Depression is common and treatable with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), for example. However, access to this therapy is limited. Internet-based interventions have been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. The International Society for Research on Internet Interventions has highlighted the importance of translating effective Internet programs into multiple languages ...

Semantic verbal fluency (VF), assessed by animal category, is a task widely used for early detection of dementia. A feature not regularly assessed is the occurrence of errors such as perseverations and intrusions. So far, no investigation has analyzed the how and when of error occurrence during semantic VF in aging populations, together with their possible neural correlates. The present study aims ...

Family Aggression Replacement Training (Familie-ART) er en multimodal metode som har til hensikt å bedre sosial kompetanse og redusere problematferd. Den foreliggende studien har målt og evaluert effekten av en Familie-ART intervensjon gitt til 12 barn og deres familier. Sosial kompetanse og problematferd ble målt med Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) i et pre-test – posttest-design. SSRS sub-skalaer ...

Inactive interventions can have significant effects on cognitive performance. Understanding the generation of these cognitive placebo/nocebo effects is crucial for evaluating the cognitive impacts of interventional methods, such as non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS). We report both cognitive placebo and nocebo effects on reward-based learning performance induced using an active sham NIBS protocol, ...

Exploration of paraphilia has become an interesting topic for researchers the latest years. Norway lacks sufficient research on paraphilia. Current literature has shown distinct sex differences with men reporting more interest in paraphilia than women. Emotional regulation is suggested from research as a plausible psychological factor that could affect paraphilia. We started a collaboration with ...

Procrastination is among the most common of motivational failures, putting off despite expecting to be worse off. We examine this dynamic phenomenon in a detailed and realistic longitudinal design (Study 1) as well as in a large correlational data set (N = 7400; Study 2). The results are largely consistent with temporal motivation theory. People’s pacing style reflects a hyperbolic curve, with the ...

Chronic pain is believed to be related to a dysfunction of descending pain modulatory mechanisms. Functioning of descending pain modulation can be assessed by various methods, including conditioned pain modulation (CPM). CPM refers to the inhibition of one source of pain by a second noxious stimulus, termed the conditioning stimulus. This procedure can activate an endogenous pain inhibitory mechanism ...

<p><i>Background: </i>Lipids have important structural roles in cell membranes and changes to these membrane lipids may influence β- and γ-secretase activities and thus contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. <p><i>Objective:</i> To explore baseline plasma lipid profiling in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with and without AD pathology. <p><i>Methods: </i>We identified ...

Two potentially costly errors are common in sequential investment decisions: sticking too long to a failing course of action (escalation of commitment), and abandoning a successful course of action prematurely. Past research has mostly focused on escalation of commitment, and identified three critical determinants: personal responsibility, preferences for prior decisions, and decision framing. We ...
