Association-based Concealed Information Test: A Novel Reaction Time-Based Deception Detection Method
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-07-15)In recent years, numerous studies were published on the reaction time (RT)-based Concealed Information Test (CIT). However, an important limitation of the CIT is the reliance on the recognition of the probe item, and therefore the limited applicability when an innocent person is aware of this item. In the present paper, we introduce an RT-based CIT that is based on item-category associations: ... -

Antallet eldre i verden og i Norge har økt drastisk de siste årene, og det predikeres at dette vil fortsette å øke. Aldring er assosiert med en rekke kognitive endringer og svekkelser, samt økt risiko for sykdommen demens. Det finnes ingen ... -

Autonomous or controlled self-regulation, that is the question: A self-determination perspective on the impact of commuting on employees’ domain-specific functioning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-01)The few studies that have considered psychological processes during the commute have drawn an ambiguous picture, with some emphasizing the negative and others the positive consequences of commuting. Drawing on self-determination theory, we develop a framework that expands on the costs and benefits of commuting for employees’ subsequent domain-related functioning at work and home.
