Emergent attributes in person perception: A comparative test of response time predictions.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008)
In person perception, emergent attributes are attributes that people ascribe to members of a rare or novel category combination, although they would not ascribe the same attributes to members of either of the constituent categories. The present paper first describes the processing mechanisms suggested by three theoretical models of attribute emergence. Then, competing response time predictions are ...
The prestige of somatic and mental disporders : A suvey among health professionals and a representative general population sample
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)

Co-occurrence of avoidant personality disorder and child sexual abuse predicts poor outcome in longstanding eating disorders

A total of 74 patients with long standing eating disorder ...
A refined computer harassment paradigm: Validation, and test of hypotheses about target characteristics
(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 ...

A new instrument to describe indicators of well-being in old-old patients with severe dementia. The Vienna List

Methods:
Using electronic instruments, physicians and nurses recorded patient behaviour and changes of behaviour over a ...
