• The ABC of academic procrastination: Functional analysis of a detrimental habit 

      Svartdal, Frode; Løkke, Jon Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-03)
      Academic procrastination – habitually delaying work with academic tasks to the extent that the delays become detrimental to performance, wellbeing, and health – represents a substantial personal, systemic, and societal problem. Still, efforts to prevent and reduce it are surprisingly scarce and often offered as treatment regimens rather than preventive efforts. Based on the principles of ...
    • Aberrant salience predicts fluctuations of paranoia two weeks in advance during a 1-year experience sampling method study in people with psychosis 

      Luedtke, Thies; Moritz, Steffen; Westermann, Stefan; Pfuhl, Gerit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-03)
      The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) has improved our understanding of psychosis considerably (Myin-Germeys et al., 2018). Not only has ESM shed light on the moment-to-moment variability of psychotic symptoms, it has equally helped to identify micro-level precursor variables that forecast symptom exacerbations a couple of hours in advance. Among others, established ESM-derived precursors are negative ...
    • Aberrant uncertainty processing is linked to psychotic-like experiences, autistic traits, and is reflected in pupil dilation during probabilistic learning 

      Kreis, Isabel; Zhang, Lei; Mittner, Matthias Bodo; Syla, Leonard Parks; Lamm, Claus; Gerit, Pfuhl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-28)
      Aberrant belief updating due to misestimation of uncertainty and an increased perception of the world as volatile (i.e., unstable) has been found in autism and psychotic disorders. Pupil dilation tracks events that warrant belief updating, likely refecting the adjustment of neural gain. However, whether subclinical autistic or psychotic symptoms afect this adjustment and how they relate to learning ...

      Nemtcan, Efim; Sæle, Rannveig Grøm; Gamst-Klaussen, Thor; Svartdal, Frode (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-24)
      Why do students leave universities? The current study addresses the problem of academic attrition from the perspective of students’ intentions. Specifically, we focus on the roles of academic self-efficacy and procrastination in exploring their relationships with attrition intentions. Based on existing research, we expected a negative relationship between academic self-efficacy and attrition ...
    • Acculturation : early political and social science conceptions 

      Rudmin, Floyd Webster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003-10)
      Acculturation refers to the psychological and cultural changes that are caused by continuous contact between people of different cultures. A culture is comprised of the norms, values, beliefs, information, and skills that people in a society share, and these are manifest in the visible behaviors, physical implements and social systems that the society expresses. Thus, different nations and ethnic ...

    • Acquiring sub-efficient and efficient variants of novel means by integrating information from multiple social models in preschoolers 

      Altınok, Nazlı; Hernik, Mikołaj; Király, Ildikó; Gergely, György (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-08)
      Sub-efficient action routines often represent culture-specific conventional forms of actions that belong to the repertoire of cultural knowledge shared by a social group. Children readily acquire such sub-efficient routines from social demonstrations and often preserve them in their action repertoire despite encountering more efficient alternatives. This suggests that they can treat sub-efficient ...
    • Action-associated modulation of visual event-related potentials evoked by abstract and ecological stimuli 

      Csifcsak, Gabor; Balla, Viktoria Roxana; Dalos, Vera Daniella; Kilencz, Tunde; Biro, Edit Magdolna; Urban, Gabor; Szaloki, Szilvia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-09-19)
      This study investigated the influence of action‐associated predictive processes on visual ERPs. In two experiments, we sought evidence for sensory attenuation (SA) indexed by ERP amplitude reductions for self‐induced stimuli when compared to passive viewing of the same images. We assessed if SA is (a) present for both ecological and abstract stimuli (pictures depicting hands or checkerboards), (b) ...
    • Adolescent health and adaptation in Canada: Examination of gender and age aspects of the healthy immigrant effect 

      Kwak, Kyunghwa; Rudmin, Floyd Webster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-14)
      Introduction A longstanding and widely held assumption is that immigrants suffer from ill health and adaptation problems. Yet recent studies show that immigrants report the same or better state of health compared to their native-born counterparts. This phenomenon, known as the healthy immigrant effect, has been found in studies of specific health conditions of adults. The present study focuses instead ...
    • Adult attachment style and maternal-infant bonding: the indirect path of parenting stress 

      Nordahl, Dag; Rognmo, Kamilla; Bohne, Agnes; Landsem, Inger Pauline; Moe, Vibeke; Wang, Catharina Elisabeth Arfwedson; Høifødt, Ragnhild Sørensen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-08)
      <i>Background</i> - The quality of maternal-infant bonding is related to important child outcomes. The literature has assumed that the ability to form relationships is a relatively stable trait, and research studies have suggested that a mother’s attachment style in close adult relationships is related to mother-infant bonding. The transition to parenthood is also often stressful, and the adult ...

      Fossmo, Toril (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-11)
      The present study tested whether there were any differences between athletes varying in age, or practising different sports at different levels, on the variables motivation, flow, self-esteem and personality. Of the 145 athletes that participated in the study, there were 85 males and 59 females (one missing) ranging from 18 to 40 years of age (M = 21.34, SD = 3.89). The athletes were grouped as ...
    • Age-dependent effects of protein restriction on dopamine release 

      Naneix, Fabien; Peters, Kate Z.; Young, Andrew J.; McCutcheon, James Edgar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-31)
      Despite the essential role of protein intake for health and development, very little is known about the impact of protein restriction on neurobiological functions, especially at different stages of the lifespan. The dopamine system is a central actor in the integration of food-related processes and is influenced by physiological state and food-related signals. Moreover, it is highly sensitive to ...
    • Age-related differences in dichotic listening in dual-tasks situations 

      Krogstad, Marcus; Knive, Tom Jørund (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-05)
      Auditiv oppmerksomhet målt ved Dikotisk -Lytting (DL), ble brukt for å undersøke høyrehendte friske eldre og yngre. Normal hjernealdring og det å gjøre flere oppmerksomhetskrevende oppgaver påvirker REA i ikke tvungen tilstand (NF) for eldre. Dette ble testet ved ren DL samt ved dual task metodikk med parallell utføring av DL med motorisk oppgave, gange eller fingertapping. Eldre viste en svak ...

    • Aktigrafi som supplerende mål på fysisk funksjon hos personer med CFS/ME sett i sammenheng med fatigue, psykisk helse og livskvalitet 

      Gulden, Ylva Sivsdatter (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-09)
      Det er flere utfordringer knyttet til selvrapporterte mål på symptomer og funksjonsnivå ved kronisk utmattelsessyndrom. Et objektivt mål som kan supplere slike subjektive vurderinger av tilstanden er etterspurt for bedre å kunne fange opp endring etter tiltak. Den overordnede hensikten med denne studien var å undersøke hvorvidt variabler fra en aktigraf kan fungere som et mål på fysisk funksjon. En ...
