(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-05)Research has found psychological dimensions of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) beneficial against non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), whereas the effect of R/S social aspects is less studied. Using data from the SAMINOR 2 Questionnaire Survey (2012, n = 10,717 ages 18–69; response rate: 27%; non-Sami: 66%; females: 55%), we examined the association of R/S—religious attendance, congregational affiliation, ... -
Psychometric Properties and Correlates of Precarious Manhood Beliefs in 62 Nations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of ... -
A Multilab Study of Bilingual Infants: Exploring the Preference for Infant-Directed Speech
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-12)From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) compared with adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence. This large-scale, multisite study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic ... -
Does the Stereotypicality of Mothers’ Occupation Influence Children’s Communal Occupational Aspirations and Communal Orientation?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)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 ... -
A creative destruction approach to replication: Implicit work and sex morality across cultures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-03)How can we maximize what is learned from a replication study? In the creative destruction approach to replication, the original hypothesis is compared not only to the null hypothesis, but also to predictions derived from multiple alternative theoretical accounts of the phenomenon. To this end, new populations and measures are included in the design in addition to the original ones, to help determine ... -
What are we optimizing for in autism screening? Examination of algorithmic changes in the M‐CHAT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-26)The present study objectives were to examine the performance of the new M-CHAT-R algorithm to the original M-CHAT algorithm. The main purpose was to examine if the algorithmic changes increase identification of children later diagnosed with ASD, and to examine if there is a trade-off when changing algorithms. We included 54,463 screened cases from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study. ... -

(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 ... -
Higher cognitive reserve is associated with better working memory performance and working-memory-related p300 modulation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-01)This study aims to examine how two levels of cognitive reserve, as evidenced by reading syntactic skill, modify performance and neural activity in a two-load-level (high vs. low) working memory (WM) task. Two groups of participants with different reading skills, high and low, were obtained from clustering analysis. We collected the P300 event-related potential component during the performance ... -
Prior Prognostic Expectations as a Potential Predictor in Neurofeedback Training.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-29)The present study evaluated whether subjects’ expectations and neurofeedback training performance predict neurofeedback efficacy in cognitive training by controlling both factors as statistical variables. Twenty-two psychology students underwent neurofeedback training, employing beta/theta protocol to enhance beta1 power (13–21 Hz) and suppress theta (4–7 Hz) power. Neurofeedback efficacy was evaluated ... -
Evaluation of error production in animal fluency and its relationship to frontal tracts in normal aging and mild Alzheimer's disease: A combined LDA and time-course analysis investigation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-12)Semantic verbal fluency (VF), assessed by animal category, is a task widely used for early detection of dementia. A feature not regularly assessed is the occurrence of errors such as perseverations and intrusions. So far, no investigation has analyzed the how and when of error occurrence during semantic VF in aging populations, together with their possible neural correlates. The present study aims ... -

To which world regions does the valence–dominance model of social perception apply?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-04)Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov’s valence–dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions, it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We ... -
Covid-19 pandemic lessons: uncritical communication of test results can induce more harm than benefit and raises questions on standardized quality criteria for communication and liability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-21)Background - The COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by both health and economic risks. A ‘safety loop’ model postulates risk-related decisions are not based on objective and measurable risks but on the subjective perception of those risks. We here illustrate a quantification of the difference between objective and subjective risks.<p> <p>Method - The objective risks (or chances) can be obtained ... -
Aberrant salience predicts fluctuations of paranoia two weeks in advance during a 1-year experience sampling method study in people with psychosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-03)The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) has improved our understanding of psychosis considerably (Myin-Germeys et al., 2018). Not only has ESM shed light on the moment-to-moment variability of psychotic symptoms, it has equally helped to identify micro-level precursor variables that forecast symptom exacerbations a couple of hours in advance. Among others, established ESM-derived precursors are negative ... -
