    • The Sky is the Limit: Breaking the Glass Ceiling as an Ethnic Minority in Organizations 

      Babiker, Samy (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-01)
      People with an ethnic minority background are becoming more prevalent in Western societies, and are more represented in the workforce as a consequence. Negative stereotypes and attitudes towards ethnic minorities persist in terms of lack of skill and knowledge that leads to discrimination and negative outcomes in their career progression. These obstacles make a glass ceiling that limit the potential ...

    • Adjusting the Instruction-Based Congruency Effect to an Explicit cue Requires Practise 

      Aasen, Steffen Rygg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-01)
      Humans display an ability to rapidly adapt behaviour to novelly instructed relations. Instructions typically bind known stimuli and responses in novel ways that must be retained for future implementation, which can induce unintentional effects on a secondary task. This effect can be adjusted based on the degree of preparation for the retained instruction. Cues can be used to explicitly signal upcoming ...
