    • Wandering body, wandering mind? The relationship between bodily movement, creativity and mind wandering 

      Opdal, Ida Marie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-04)
      It has long been hypothesized that creativity may be related to mind wandering. Recent work has shown that bodily movement is related to both creativity and mind wandering. In the current experiment, we examined the question as to whether mind wandering and creativity would be simultaneously enhanced during an active walking condition relative to an inactive control condition. The experiment included ...

    • What predicts student decision to leave? A new perspective on academic attrition 

      Nemtcan, Efim (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2019-05-02)
      The issue of attrition from higher education is a significant problem across Europe and especially Norway, where dropout rates are as high as 20-25%. In the current study, we address the issue from the perspective of attrition intentions that have been found closely associated with actual attrition behavior. In particular, we attempted to differentiate between types of students’ attrition intentions: ...

Where does the motivation to participate break down, and where and how does it make sense for the ...

    • Words lead to action. Do incompatible movements interfere with verbal stimulus-response learning? 

      Skjoldli, Are (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-03)
      Abstract Embodied cognition research has shown that bodily activity could affect cognitive processes in multiple ways. It has for instance been theorized that when we process language related to physical actions such as the word “push”, we automatically use the motor-areas of the brain to simulate our understanding of this concept, much like actually performing a pushing action. In this study, I ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges and experiences employees with mental health problems have with maintaining employment. Hopefully, this will provide an increased understanding of how ...
