Striving for wellbeing: The different roles of hedonia and eudaimonia in goal pursuit and goal achievement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-09)Goals are central to theories of happiness and previous research has shown that successful goal pursuit typically leads to a boost in wellbeing. Taking these ideas further, the current study adopts the distinction between hedonic wellbeing (HWB) and eudaimonic wellbeing (EWB) and suggests that it is the former that increases when goals are achieved. By contrast, EWB is hypothesized to have a causal ... -

We also use anxiety ... -

Studies of sociosexual interactions in rats in an externally valid procedure: Are they relevant for understanding human sexual behavior?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05)When a prolonged observation of groups of rats in a seminatural environment is used as testing procedure, different behavioral patterns are shown compared with what observed in a pair housed in a small cage. Males and females copulate simultaneously, they show a promiscuously and random copulatory pattern. Females remain completely receptive from the first lordosis displayed in the period of behavioral ... -
Study Habits and Procrastination: The Role of Academic Self-Efficacy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-03)Inefficient study skills increase the probability that study work is perceived as difficult and aversive, with procrastination as a likely result. As a remedy, more effective study skills and habits may be encouraged. However, research indicates that good study skills and habits may not by themselves be sufficient to remedy problems, as this relationship may be mediated by efficacy beliefs related ... -
Study protocol: Prevalence of low energy availability and its relation to health and performance among female football players.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-10)Enduring low energy availability (LEA) is associated with several potentially serious physiological and mental conditions. LEA has been found highly prevalent among female elite athletes within endurance sports, thus hampering athletes’ health and performance. The prevalence and the underpinning risk factors of LEA among female elite football players are less studied. One reason is that the existing ... -

Subliminal priming og betinging av kunstige stereotyper
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-11-09)En hyppig brukt metode for å studere subliminale fenomener er det maskerte primings-paradigmet. Tidligere studier med dette paradigmet har vist at subliminal priming og betinging har en effekt, men det er likevel uklarheter knyttet til ulike modererende faktorer. Slike modererende faktorer kan for eksempel være forsøksdeltakeres holdninger mot en stimulus eller det kan også være av mer teknisk art ... -
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 ... -

Sweet spot in music—Is predictability preferred among persons with psychotic-like experiences or autistic traits?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)People prefer music with an intermediate level of predictability; not so predictable as to be boring, yet not so unpredictable that it ceases to be music. This sweet spot for predictability varies due to differences in the perception of predictability. The symptoms of both psychosis and Autism Spectrum Disorder have been attributed to overestimation of uncertainty, which predicts a preference ... -
Sykefravær og barrierer mot retur til arbeid. En litteraturgjennomgang av ikke-helseårsakers betydning for sykefravær
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-02)Samtidig som arbeidslivet i Norge preges av høy sysselsetting, høyt utdanningsnivå og god folkehelse, er sykefraværet det høyeste blant OECD-landene. Langtidssykefraværet står for de fleste av sykefraværsdagene, og det er viktig å forstå hvorfor ikke flere kommer tilbake i jobb gjennom dagens sykefraværsordning. Det er gjort mye forskning på både utløsende og opprettholdende helseårsaker til sykefravær, ... -
Synliggjøring av "De usynlige barna". Barn som pårørende av foreldre med psykiske lidelser og ruslidelser i behandling ved Psykisk helse- og rusklinikken, Universitetssykehuset i Nord-Norge
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-01)Bakgrunn: Kunnskapsstatus viser at det er en transgenerasjonell overføring av risiko og psykisk morbiditet fra foreldre til barn som pårørende (BAP), men det finnes relativt få implementerte tiltak tilpasset BAP i psykisk helsevern for voksne. Svake kartleggingsrutiner har bidratt til at vi fortsatt ikke vet hva som kjennetegner disse barna, deres livssituasjon, foreldrenes lidelser eller hvorvidt ... -
