Utbrenthet og mestringstro blant psykologer
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-08)Utbrenthet som en stressreaksjon til økende krav i arbeidslivet, seg selv og samfunnet generelt har i de siste årene kommet mer på agendaen, både som forskningstema og i media. Utbrenthet som fenomen i samfunnet ser ut til å ha økt og det tandrere til å være relatert i større grad til yrker som omhandler følelser og hvor sosial nærkontakt med andre mennesker er mer sentralt (Kvam, 2020). Forskning ... -

How romantic relationships affect individual career goal attainment: A transactive goal dynamics perspective
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)Despite the importance of career goals for career self-management, we know little about the self-regulatory processes underlying career goal attainment. In this study, we draw on transactive goal dynamics theory to investigate whether and how romantic relationships impact career goal attainment. For testing our research model, we focused on the career goal of being successful in a political election, ... -
Spared performance but increased uncertainty in schizophrenia: Evidence from a probabilistic decision-making task
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aberrant attribution of salience to in fact little informative events might explain the emergence of positive symptoms in schizophrenia and has been linked to belief uncertainty. Uncertainty is thought to be encoded by neuromodulators, including norepinephrine. However, norepinephrinergic encoding of uncertainty, measured as task-related pupil dilation, has rarely been explored in schizophrenia. ... -
Cutoff criteria for the placebo response: a cluster and machine learning analysis of placebo analgesia.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-28)Computations of placebo effects are essential in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for separating the specific effects of treatments from unspecific effects associated with the therapeutic intervention. Thus, the identification of placebo responders is important for testing the efficacy of treatments and drugs. The present study uses data from an experimental study on placebo analgesia to suggest ... -
Here, there, and everywhere: Applying vignettes to investigate appraisals of job demands
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-21)The job characteristics literature has revealed that job demands can be differentiated into hindrance and challenge demands. However, there has been little consensus on this categorization. Additionally, studies have revealed that job demands can be perceived as hindering and challenging at the same time. The present study aims to bring nuance to this topic by investigating two job demands (i.e., ... -
Substituting facial movements in singers changes the sounds of musical intervals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)Cross-modal integration is ubiquitous within perception and, in humans, the McGurk effect demonstrates that seeing a person articulating speech can change what we hear into a new auditory percept. It remains unclear whether cross-modal integration of sight and sound generalizes to other visible vocal articulations like those made by singers. We surmise that perceptual integrative effects should ... -
