    • Psykologisk fungering under smittevernstiltak – Emosjoners rolle i subjektiv livskvalitet 

      Eilertsen, Thomas Grov (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-15)
      Denne oppgaven tok for seg folks vurderinger (‘appraisals’), tilpasningsstrategier (‘coping mechanisms’) og emosjonelle opplevelser under COVID-19-pandemien. Målet var å undersøke hvilke relasjoner vurderinger og tilpasningsstrategier hadde sammen med tilstedeværelsen av ulike positive emosjoner, som er et viktig mål i menneskers subjektive livskvalitet. Deltakere fra 12 land kartla sine emosjoner, ...

    • Psykologisk Førstehjelp: En kvalitativ studie av implementeringen av forebyggende verktøy i skolehelsetjenesten i Tromsø kommune 

      Stavnem, Andrea Wedege; Nicolaisen, Maiken (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-02)
      Høsten 2017 vedtok kommunestyret i Tromsø å implementere Psykologisk Førstehjelp (PF) som forebyggende tiltak for alle på 2., 5. og 8. trinn i Tromsø-skolene. Samtidig ble det også vedtatt at implementeringen skulle evalueres innen utgangen av høsten 2020, der denne studien er et bidrag til det. Vi gjennomførte en kvalitativ studie med fenomenologisk innfallsvinkel og deskriptivt design. Vi intervjuet ...

    • Pupillary Stroop effects 

      Laeng, Bruno; Ørbo, Marte; Holmlund, Terje; Miozzo, Michele (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We recorded the pupil diameters of participants performing the words’ color-naming Stroop task (i.e., naming the color of a word that names a color). Non-color words were used as baseline to firmly establish the effects of semantic relatedness induced by color word distractors. We replicated the classic Stroop effects of color congruency and color incongruency with pupillary diameter recordings: ...

    • pypillometry: A Python package for pupillometric analyses 

      Mittner, Matthias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-02)
      The size of the human pupil is controlled by pairs of constrictor and dilator muscles that allow its opening (dilation) and closing (constriction) in response to varying lighting conditions (Mathôt, 2018). Importantly, it has long been known that the pupil also reacts to psychological important stimuli (Hess & Polt, 1960) and has been a firmly established tool for studying “mental effort” in the ...

    • Quantitative measure of evaluative labeling in news reports: Psychology of communication bias studied by content analysis and semantic differential 

      Stefansson, Jon Karl (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-06-02)
      Two studies examined partisan word-connotations in news reports. They focused on what, if any, normative judgements were conveyed through the choice of referent terms of key agents and examined if the usage of terms differed systematically in emotional connotations according to which agents they were applied to. Study 1 used content analysis of every article posted on the Norwegian state news media’s ...

    • A randomized controlled trial of a six-session cognitive behavioral treatment of emotional disorders in adolescents 14–17 years old in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)

    • A randomized controlled trial on a smartphone self-help application (Be Good to Yourself) to reduce depressive symptoms 

      Lüdtke, Thies; Pult, Lilian Klara; Schröder, Johanna; Moritz, Steffen; Bücker, Lara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-29)
      Depressive symptoms are common, yet only a subgroup of individuals receive adequate treatment. To reduce the treatment gap, several online self-help programs have been developed, yielding small to moderate effects. We developed a smartphone self-help application addressing depressive symptoms. We sought to evaluate its feasibility and efficacy in participants reporting a subjective need for help (a ...

    • Rapid changes in sociosexual behaviors around transition to and from behavioral estrus, in female rats housed in a seminatural environment 

      Le Moene, Olivia; Hernandez-Arteaga, Enrique; Chu, Xi; Ågmo, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-28)
      Gonadally intact female rats display sexual behaviors only during a portion of the estrus cycle. In standard experimental setups, the on- and offset of sexual behavior is gradual. However, in naturalistic settings, it is almost instantaneous. We assessed the changes in sociosexual behaviors at the beginning and end of behavioral estrus in ovariectomized females treated with ovarian hormones. Rats ...

    • Rapport fra seksualvaneundersøkelsene i 1987, 1992, 1997 og 2002 

      Træen, Bente; Stigum, Hein; Magnus, Per (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2003)
      Bakgrunn Kunnskap om befolkningens seksualvaner er nødvendig for å forstå, forutsi og forebygge spredning av seksuelt overførbare sykdommer slik som HIV/AIDS, klamydia, humant papilloma virus og herpes. Videre er slik kunnskap viktig for å forebygge uønskede svangerskap. På denne bakgrunn har Nasjonalt folkehelseinstitutt (fram til 2002 Folkehelsa) med 5 års mellomrom gjennomført undersøkelser for ...

    • Rat ultrasonic vocalizations and novelty-induced social and non-social investigation behavior in a seminatural environment 

      Heinla, Indrek; Chu, Xi; Ågmo, Anders j; Snoeren, Eelke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)
      Although rats are known to emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), it remains unclear whether these calls serve an auditory communication purpose. For USVs to be part of communication, the vocal signals will need to be a transfer of information between two or more conspecifics, and with the possibility to induce changes in the behavior of the recipient. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate ...

    • Rationality: Can it be predicted by cognitive effort, ability and thinking disposition? On the role of willingness to exert cognitive effort, thinking disposition and executive function on deliberate reasoning tasks both with and without a heuristic response. 

      Klevjer, Kristoffer (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-02)
      Å bruke intuisjon og magefølelsen, når det som egentlig kreves er nøye resonnering kan føre til feilaktige vurdering og beslutninger, ikke bare på quiz, men også ha store konsekvenser i hverdagen. Så hvorfor gjør vi det? En vanlig forklaring er at vi gjøre det fordi det er strevsomt og krever innsats å bedrive nøye resonnering, innsats vi til vanlig ikke liker. In denne studien kastet vi lys over ...

    • Reciprocal relationships between personality disorders and eating disorders in a prospective 17-year follow-up study 

      Eielsen, Hanna Kristine Punsvik; Vrabel, KariAnne; Hoffart, Asle; Rø, Øyvind; Rosenvinge, Jan H (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-10)
      <p><b>Objective</b> This study aimed to report the presence of categorical and dimensional personality disorders (PD) in adults with longstanding eating disorders (ED) over a period of 17 years and to investigate whether changes in PD predict changes in ED symptoms or vice versa. <p><b>Methods</b> In total, 62 of the 80 living patients (78% response rate) with anorexia nervosa (<i>n</i> ...

    • Reduction in manual asymmetry and decline in fine manual dexterity in right-handed older adults with mild cognitive impairment 

      Vasylenko, Olena; Gorecka, Marta Maria; Waterloo, Knut; Rodríguez-Aranda, Claudia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-16)
      Research in Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease suggests that hand function is affected by neurodegenerative diseases. However, little is known about the relationship between hand function and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Therefore, we conducted a kinematic analysis of unimanual hand movements in MCI patients to answer whether manual asymmetries and manual dexterity are affected or preserved ...

    • A refined computer harassment paradigm: Validation, and test of hypotheses about target characteristics 

      Siebler, Frank; Sabelus, Saskia; Bohner, Gerd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008)
      A refined computer paradigm for assessing sexual harassment is presented, validated, and used for testing substantive hypotheses. Male participants were given an opportunity to send sexist jokes to a computer-simulated female chat partner. In Study 1 (N = 44), the harassment measure (number of sexist jokes sent) correlated positively with self-reported harassment proclivity. Study 2 (N = 77) included ...

    • Regression-based normative data for the D-KEFS Color-Word Interference Test in Norwegian adults ages 20–85 

      Espenes, Johan Jacob; Lorentzen, Ingrid Myrvoll; Eliassen, Ingvild Vøllo; Hessen, Erik; Waterloo, Knut K; Timón, Santiago; Fladby, Tormod; Walhovd, Kristine Beate; Fjell, Anders Martin; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind Seljelid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-11-16)
      <p><i>Objective:</i> The Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Color-Word-Interference Test (CWIT; AKA Stroop test) is a widely used measure of processing speed and executive function. While test materials and instructions have been translated to Norwegian, only American age-adjusted norms from D-KEFS are available in Norway. We here develop norms in a sample of 1011 Norwegians between 20 ...

    • Regression-based norms for the FAS phonemic fluency test for ages 40–84 based on a Norwegian sample 

      Lorentzen, Ingrid Myrvoll; Espenes, Johan Jacob; Hessen, Erik; Waterloo, Knut; Bråthen, Geir; Timón, Santiago; Aarsland, Dag; Fladby, Tormod; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-08)
      <p>The FAS phonemic fluency test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of executive function and processing speed. Although Norwegian discrete norms have been developed for the FAS test, American regression-based norms are frequently used by clinicians in Norway. <p>However, language and cultural differences impact performance on the FAS test, and using foreign norms may not be appropriate. ...

    • Regression‐based normative data for the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test in Norwegian and Swedish adults aged 49–79 and comparison with published norms 

      Espenes, Jacob; Eliassen, Ingvild Vøllo; Öhman, Fredrik; Hessen, Erik; Waterloo, Knut K; Eckerström, Marie; Lorentzen, Ingrid Myrvoll; Øien-Bergland, Cecilie; Niska, Madelene Halvari; Reina, Santiago Timon; Wallin, Anders; Fladby, Tormod; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-13)
      Objective: The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a widely used measure of episodic verbal memory. To our knowledge, culturally adapted and demographically adjusted norms for the RAVLT are currently not available for Norwegian and Swedish adults, and imported North American norms are often used. We here develop regression-based norms for Norwegian and Swedish adults and compare our ...

    • Relasjonene til skam og skyld i posttraumatisk stresslidelse: En systematisk litteraturgjennomgang 

      Malm, Linda; Friksen, Kaja Christina (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-04-28)
      Bakgrunn: Posttraumatisk stresslidelse (PTSD) er en alvorlig psykisk lidelse assosiert med flere emosjonelle, atferdsmessige og kognitive utfall. Tradisjonelt har PTSD vært ansett som angstlidelse, med frykt som primær emosjon. Det har i økende grad blitt anerkjent at andre emosjoner kan være sentrale, herunder skam og skyld. Målet med litteraturgjennomgangen var å oppsummere det siste tiårets ...
