The relationship between personal values and preference for novelty: conceptual issues and the novelty–familiarity continuum
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-20)The search for novelty when going on vacation is a prominent theme in the literature. Still, empirical research exploring the antecedents of this preference is limited.

Investment and endogenous efficiency in a contest
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-01)Contests are ubiquitous but do not happen in a vacuum. Rivals can prepare themselves for the contest to improve their ultimate chance of victory. Two contestants with different prize values play an all-pay auction and can invest to improve the efficiency of their own effort in the contest. We show that at most one player will invest, and that two asymmetric pure-strategy equilibria exist depending ... -
Altruisme versus egennytte: Motivasjonen bak sykepleierstudenters studievalg
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-13)I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hva som, tross lave søkertall og negativ medieomtale, motiverer unge mennesker til å studere sykepleie. Studien setter søkelys på skillet mellom altruistisk og egennyttig motivasjon, og sammenligner dessuten sykepleiestudenter på bakgrunn av deres kjønn, alder, tidligere arbeidserfaring og hvilken prioritet de ga studiet da de søkte. Kvantitative data ble samlet ... -

I denne studien undersøker jeg statusen til selskapene som gjennomførte emisjoner gjennom de norske crowdfunding plattformene ... -
Who skis where, when? – A method to enumerate backcountry usage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-22)Backcountry skiers, travelling in avalanche terrain, account for a large proportion of avalanche fatalities worldwide. Despite this, the exact count of the number of recreationists exposed to avalanches (also known as the background information), is poorly documented in most countries. Without detailed background information on temporal and spatial backcountry usage, making well-reasoned decisions ... -
Lyden av Skallelv er en snekker i arbeid
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-11-04)Stadig færre er bosatt på det stedet de vokste opp. Likevel kan slike steder være viktige for folks identitet og deres integrering i ulike fellesskap. En slik tilknytning kan analyseres som en form for slekting, der individer gjennom relasjoner og praksiser vedlikeholder og knyttes til fellesskap som for eksempel det kvenske. Materielt sett tar slike prosesser ofte utgangspunkt i en allmenn forståelse ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-16)E-bøker har blitt et stadig viktigere element i høyere utdanning, og forståelsen av hvordan studenter oppfatter og bruker disse ressursene er avgjørende for å videreutvikle pedagogiske strategier. Til tross for bred tilgjengelighet via databaser og konsortier som BIBSYS er faktisk bruk av e-bøker ofte lav. Dette gapet mellom tilgjengelighet og bruk kan håndteres gjennom målrettede tiltak.
