Six-year positive effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on mindfulness, coping and well-being in medical and psychology students; Results from a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-24)Longitudinal research investigating the enduring impact of mindfulness training is scarce. This study investigates the six-year effects of a seven-week mindfulness-based course, by studying intervention effects in the trajectory of dispositional mindfulness and coping skills, and the association between those change trajectories and subjective well-being at six-year follow-up. 288 Norwegian medical ... -
Non-linear heart rate variability as a discriminator of internalizing psychopathology and negative affect in children with internalizing problems and healthy controls
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-23)Background: Internalizing psychopathology and dysregulated negative affect are characterized by dysregulation in the autonomic nervous system and reduced heart rate variability (HRV) due to increases in sympathetic activity alongside reduced vagal tone. The neurovisceral system is however, a complex nonlinear system, and nonlinear indices related to psychopathology are so far less studied in children. ... -
Optimizing the RMET to measure bias not performance differences
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-22)<p>Background: Human social interaction and communication is complex. Sending a verbal message is often accompanied by intonations, facial expressions, grimaces, and body postures. Nonverbal signals are potentially open for misinterpretation. One popular test for assessing the interpretation of facial expressions is the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test (RMET). This test has been used to relate ... -

Developmental trend towards exact imitation in the second year of life: Evidence from a longitudinal study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-11)Findings from previous cross-sectional studies showed that while toddlers around their first birthday imitate selectively, that is, they systematically omit some kinds of target action steps or they copy only the goal, but not the means of the modeled actions, older toddlers imitate more exactly. The aim of the present article is to provide longitudinal evidence for this developmental trend and to ... -

In Phase 1 we employed questionnaire data from 918 unaccompanied refugees to investigate the effects of demographic information, pre-migration trauma, mental health and acculturation-related factors on their educational aspirations. In Phase 2, data from Identity Status Interviews ... -
Pros and Cons of Character Portrayals of Autism on TV and Film
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-23)Portrayals of characters with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or with autistic traits on film and in TV-series are increasing. Such portrayals may contribute in increasing awareness of the condition but can also increase stereotypes. Thus, these character portrayals are subject to heated debate within the ASD-community, but also in the general public at large. Following our recent published study ... -
Tracking changes in spatial frequency sensitivity during natural image processing in school age: an event-related potential study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-09)Several studies have shown that behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of processing visual images containing low or high spatial frequency (LSF or HSF) information undergo development after early childhood. However, the maturation of spatial frequency sensitivity in school-age has been investigated using abstract stimuli only. The aim of the current study was to assess how LSF and HSF ... -
Resilience to Discrimination Among Indigenous Sami and Non-Sami Populations in Norway: The SAMINOR2 Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-21)Discrimination is generally negative for mental health and well-being; however, few studies have examined protective effects of resilience factors, especially among minority indigenous people. Here, we validated a short version of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) and examined its protective effects against discrimination among Norwegian indigenous Sami and non-Sami populations. Data come from ... -

Liberale akzeptanz als kognitiver mechanismus bei psychose: Eine 2-stufen-theorie der pathogenese schizophrener positivsymptome
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-30)Positivsymptome wie Wahn und Halluzinationen stellen definierende Symptome einer (schizophrenen) Psychose dar. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit wird ein 2-stufiges heuristisches Modell für die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung psychotischer Positivsymptome vorgelegt. Im Kern der Theorie steht die Hypothese, dass von Psychose betroffene Menschen eine erniedrigte Entscheidungsschwelle aufweisen, die zu ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-05)Study Objectives: <br>Variation in day length is proposed to impact sleep, yet it is unknown whether this is above the influence of behavioural factors. Day length, sleep hygiene and parent-set bedtime were simultaneously explored, to investigate the relative importance of each on adolescents’ sleep.<br> Methods: <br>An online survey was distributed in 4 countries at varying latitudes/longitudes ... -
Association-based Concealed Information Test: A Novel Reaction Time-Based Deception Detection Method
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-07-15)In recent years, numerous studies were published on the reaction time (RT)-based Concealed Information Test (CIT). However, an important limitation of the CIT is the reliance on the recognition of the probe item, and therefore the limited applicability when an innocent person is aware of this item. In the present paper, we introduce an RT-based CIT that is based on item-category associations: ... -

Through two ordinary study semesters, 64 sport students in Norway reported on their intrinsic motivation for outdoor activities (twice) as well as positive ... -
The PED-t trial protocol: The effect of physical exercise – and dietary therapy compared with cognitive behavior therapy in treatment of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-12)Background: <br> Sufferers from bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) underestimate the severity risk of their illness and, therefore, postpone seeking professional help for years. Moreover, less than one in five actually seek professional help and only 50% respond to current treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The impetus for the present trial is to explore a ... -
A cooperative function for multisensory stimuli in the induction of approach behavior of a potential mate
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-17)Intrasexual competition is an important element of natural selection in which the most attractive conspecific has a considerable reproductive advantage over the others. The conspecifics that are approached first often become the preferred mate partners, and could thus from a biological perspective have a reproductive advantage. This underlines the importance of the initial approach and raises the ... -

Analyzing buyer behavior when selecting green criteria in public procurement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Given the complexity of green public procurement, decisions are likely to be driven by bounded rationality. However, we know little about what determines supplier selection criteria in any given situation. This study explores buyer behavior when considering environmental criteria. We first conducted interviews and identified 12 operational procedures used by buyers. We then developed a survey to ...
