Children’s Well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic: Relationships with attitudes, family structure, and mothers’ Well-being
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-07)COVID-19 triggered social restrictions worldwide including the shutdown of schools. Whereas research has documented the negative effects on parents’ well-being, less is known about children’s well-being during the pandemic. We investigated the well-being, emotions, and COVID-19-related attitudes of 87 Norwegian elementary children (42 boys, 45 girls; M<sub>age</sub> = 9.66 years, SD = 1.77) and their ... -
Dealing with negative stereotypes in sports: The role of cognitive anxiety when multiple identities are activated in sensorimotor tasks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08)Based on research on stereotype threat and multiple identities, this work explores the beneficial effects of activating a positive social identity when a negative identity is salient on women’s performance in sports. Further, in line with research on the effects of anxiety in sports, we investigate whether the activation of a positive social identity buffers performance from cognitive anxiety ... -
From thought to action: On the relevance of including situational cues in thought about intended actions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-23)Successful everyday self-regulation often hinges on implementing intended responses at a later time–often in specific situations. We address this self-regulation challenge by examining the role of individuals’ thought about intended actions–and specifically whether it does or does not include situational cues. We hypothesized that including situational cues when thinking about intended actions enables ... -
Girls’ perceptions of their mothers at work and home: Warm does not mean weak
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)Upper elementary school girls were surveyed about their mothers’ and fathers’ warmth, competence, and agency at home and how they imagine their parents at work. Mothers’ warmth at home was positively correlated with perceived competence and agency both at home and at work. Differences between daughters’ perceptions of their mothers and fathers at work are discussed. -
The Impact of COVID-19-Induced Changes at Schools on Elementary Students' School Engagement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the shutdown of schools in many countries. Emerging research documents the negative effects of the pandemic and particularly of the shutdown of schools on children's well-being. The present research extends this research by investigating how structural changes made in schools upon reopening to align with COVID-19 restrictions were related to children's ... -
Mothers’ Domestic Responsibilities and Well-Being During the COVID-19 Lockdown: The Moderating Role of Gender Essentialist Beliefs About Parenthood
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-05)The present work investigates how the increased domestic responsibilities created by the Spring 2020 lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway and gender ideologies relate to the well-being of mothers with elementary school children. In June 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional online study including current and retrospective measures with 180 mothers (M<sub>age</sub> = 39.96 years, SD = 6.11) of ... -
Salary and power: How occupational status affects children's occupational aspirations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-17)In many countries, labor markets are still highly gender segregated, with very few men working in communal occupations such as nursing. Because occupational aspirations start to develop during early childhood, it seems crucial to foster our understanding of which factors affect occupational aspirations during this period. Earlier correlational research showed that the status of occupations seems to ... -
Situational Cues in Thoughts About the Future: Relationships With Self-Reported and Actual Self-Regulation Success
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-10)Based on stimulus–response learning accounts, we argue that including situational cues in thought about intended actions is an important aspect of self-regulation success in general and in successfully implementing delayed intentions. Accordingly, in Study 1 (N = 328), we replicate a previous study and show a positive relationship between the self-reported inclusion of situational cues in thoughts ... -
Unintentional response priming from verbal action–effect instructions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-02)Action–effect learning is based on a theoretical concept that actions are associated with their perceivable consequences through bidirectional associations. Past research has mostly investigated how these bidirectional associations are formed through actual behavior and perception of the consequences. The present research expands this idea by investigating how verbally formulated action–effect ... -
What do I want to be? Predictors of communal occupational aspirations in early to middle childhood
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-07)Research investigating occupational aspirations in childhood is scarce. In addition, most research on occupational aspirations has focused on increasing the number of women in agentic jobs. In the present work, we investigate factors associated with communal occupational aspirations in two studies with young children (Study 1: 159 children [84 boys, 75 girls], Mage = 5.51 years, SD = 0.37; Study 2: ... -
Who cares? Effects of gendered self-perceptions on dropout intentions in communal degree programs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-12)Global population aging trends create an increased need for educated workers in the health domain. At the same time, communal degree programs (i.e., health care and early education [HEE]) show high dropout rates—particularly for men. Extending person-environment fit theory and the lack of fit model, we investigate whether students' (gendered) self-perceptions relate to perceived fit and whether fit ...
