Prokrastinering – det at man frivillig utsetter en planlagt handling slik at en blir dårligere stilt på grunn av utsettelsen – er et problem med selvregulering og er særlig utbredt blant studenter. Det foreligger lite forskning på fenomenet i Norge. Samtidig rapporterer mange studenter om vansker i sin studiehverdag, og det er sannsynlig at noe av forklaringen kan tilskrives prokrastinering. Hensikten ...

We used filtered low spatial frequency images of facial emotional expressions (angry, fearful, happy, sad, or neutral faces) that were blended with a high-frequency image of the same face but with a neutral facial expression, so as to obtain a “hybrid” face image that “masked” the subjective perception of its emotional expression. Participants were categorized in three groups of participants: healthy ...

Method: Anonymous questionnaire distributed to all post graduate students attending introductory PhD-courses at all medical ...

Aim Rising concern for demonstrated real world comparative effectiveness has heightened interest in “pragmatic trials” design. Pragmatic trials investigate whether the efficacy, presumed or found in explanatory trials under ideal conditions, can also be detected under real world conditions, i.e. effectiveness. It is also recognized that ‘real world’ effects which are usually addressed in public ...

Advarsel. Dette du leser kan få deg til å føle et psykisk, kanskje fysisk, ubehag. Hvis det gjør det: Slapp av. Det er meningen.

Background: Distress and burnout among medical and psychology professionals are commonly reported and have implications for the quality of patient care delivered. Already in the course of university studies, medicine and psychology students report mental distress and low life satisfaction. There is a need for interventions that promote better coping skills in students in order to prevent distress ...

”Friends with benefits” (FWB) betegner venner som har sex med hverandre uten å ha romantiske følelser eller forpliktelser ovenfor hverandre. Med utgangspunkt i seksuell skriptteori, var formålet med denne undersøkelsen å utforske FWB-fenomenet i en norsk, heteroseksuell kontekst. Forskningsmetoden som ble brukt var transendental fenomenologi. Det ble utført semistrukturelle intervjuer av tolv ...

This study explored how presence of art in a natural environment is experienced, and if combining these elements would improve or impair the experience compared to experiencing the elements separately. Quantitative methods with an experimental between groups design were used, with three conditions (Pure Nature, Pure Poetry, Combined Nature+Poetry). Of the participants, 65% were women. In the Pure ...

There are two different routes in the brain that deal with the processing of sensory information and initiate a response. One fast route, the dorsal magnocellular pathway, involves structures like the amygdala and starts a rapid and automatic fear reaction, necessary in so-called fight-or-flight situations. The other route comprises the neocortex, initiating a slower response via the parvocellular ...

Hensikten med denne studien var å kartlegge hvordan søkerne opplevde seleksjonsprosessen til flygerutdanningen i det norske Luftforsvaret og ved Universitetet i Tromsø. Videre hvordan søkerne vurderte ulike aspekter ved seleksjonsprosessen og hvordan holdninger var relatert til prestasjoner på kognitive tester, organisasjonstilknytning og opplevd rettferdighet. Et annet mål var å sammenligne de ...
