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 ... -
Does the Stereotypicality of Mothers’ Occupation Influence Children’s Communal Occupational Aspirations and Communal Orientation?
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-02-10)Career development is a lifelong process that starts in infancy and is shaped by a number of different factors during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Even though career development is shaped through life, relatively little is known about the predictors of occupational aspirations in childhood. Therefore, in the present work we investigate how the stereotypicality of a mother’s occupation ... -

Effects of instagram sports posts on the athletic motivation of female elite athletes: Do they inspire or backfire?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-10-08)The social networking site Instagram provides users with an abundance of photos and information in many domains including sports. The posts are often intended to inspire and motivate users. We argue that the display of success and failure of professional athletes may influence elite athletes’ own sports ambitions. Research has shown that exposure to positive ingroup stereotypes and exposure to ... -
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 ... -
Mapping the well-being of Norwegian mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-16)The COVID-19 pandemic had negative effects on many people's well-being and quality of life. In the present work, we focused on Norwegian mothers with elementary school children, and investigated whether their well-being, stress, and worries (and the relationships between them) changed across the early months of the pandemic. We collected data at two time points in 2020. In June 2020, 231 mothers ... -
Men's Underrepresentation in Communal Occupations: A Social-Developmental Approach
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-11-23)This dissertation addresses psychological factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of men in communal occupations (i.e., occupations associated with communal traits, e.g., nurse), based on the theoretical perspectives from the developmental theory of occupational aspirations (Gottfredson, 1981) and the model of achievement-related choices (Eccles et al., 1983). The underrepresentation of ... -
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 ... -
What Do I Want to Be? Predictors of Communal Occupational Aspirations in Early to Middle Childhood
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-03-30)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, high- paying jobs. Therefore, we investigate factors associated with communal occupational aspirations in two studies with young children (Study 1: 159 children, Mage = 5.51 years; Study 2: 96 children; Mage = 9.44 ... -

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 ...
