The Basic Psychological Needs in the Classroom Scale (BPN-CS)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-24)Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the assessment of students’ satisfaction of their basic psychological needs (BPN) can be a powerful resource to identify different areas to improve their well-being, engagement, or learning achievement in school contexts. However, currently, the number of validated tools to assess the satisfaction of the BPN is very low, hindering informed ... -
Basic psychological needs in the classroom: A literature review in elementary and middle school students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)Self-Determination Theory conceptualizes basic psychological needs (BPN) for autonomy, competence and relatedness as essentials for the learner to experience, maintain, and promote well-being, personal growth, and learning. However, the evidence of its influence in the classroom is still limited, especially in basic education (ages six to 14). The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic ... -
The battle of hearts and minds : an analysis of the Iraq War discourse in politics and newspapers
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-11-15)The most controversial and divisive political issue in Britain in the last decade was the decision to go to war in Iraq. The legitimisation and justification for making this decision was argued through a carefully considered discourse constructed by Prime Minister Tony Blair and his associates. A key role in mediating and manifesting the discourse of Blair was played out by the media. If Blair was ... -

The book is analysed using narratological theories - in particular Genette's chronology, Barthes' intertext ... -
Begjæret etter bergets dyp og fjellets tinder: om sider ved det dikteriske fundament hos Ibsen og Hamsun
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)Even though Knut Hamsun stubbornly denied it, all his life he had a strong and ambivalent interest for Henrik Ibsen. Quite well known are Hamsun's many attacks on Ibsen in articles and lectures, letters and novels. Less known is that there are several coinciding (intertextual) motifs between Ibsen and Hamsun. In several of Ibsen's plays and poems the mountain motif is associated with poetic vocation ... -
Being a participant matters: Event related potentials show that markedness modulates person agreement in Spanish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-24)The present study uses event-related potentials to examine subject–verb person agreement in Spanish, with a focus on how markedness with respect to the speech participant status of the subject modulates processing. Morphological theory proposes a markedness distinction between first and second person, on the one hand, and third person on the other. The claim is that both the first and second persons ... -

Being at the Centre of a Scandal – Exploring the Complexities of the Sexual Deviant. Queer Counterspaces and their Effect on Character Development and Self-Actualisation in The Picture of Dorian Gray and Giovanni’s Room
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-14)This thesis addresses literary representations of queerness in public and private places. Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner’s 1998 essay ‘Sex in Public’ addresses the public’s association with sexuality and the idea of counterpublics. This thesis aims to use this idea of counterpublics in association with queer spacing, Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopias, and the concept of the deviant. I ... -
Being, learning, doing: A palace for the children? A Tween’s Library Seen from the User’s Perspectives
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)In this chapter we investigate the library’s empowering aspects within the context of Biblo Tøyen, a library designed and open only for children between ten and fifteen. It is unique in a Norwegian context, but inspired by TioTretton in Stockholm, and the Library of 100 talents in Holland. Both these libraries have been designed and developed with the involvement of users – the children themselves ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-12)I Noreg har me nokre av verdas beste litteraturpolitiske støtteordningar som skal fremje ein mangfaldig norsk litteratur. Likevel ser me at litteraturen me les blir meir underhaldningsretta og meir einsretta. I oppgåva har eg sett på dei mest selde og utlånte bøkene i 2014. Listene over desse bøkene er i stor grad prega av populærlitteratur innanfor sjangrane krim og melodrama. To bøker skil seg ut, ... -
Better to Be Alone than in Bad Company: Cognate Synonyms Impair Word Learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-29)The effects of cognate synonymy in L2 word learning are explored. Participants learned the names of well-known concrete concepts in a new fictional language following a picture-word association paradigm. Half of the concepts (set A) had two possible translations in the new language (i.e., both words were synonyms): one was a cognate in participants’ L1 and the other one was not. The other half ... -
Bevaring av online-spill for fremtiden. En kvalitativ studie av World of Warcraft, fra et bevaringsperspektiv
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-11-01)Massive flerspiller online-spill, MMOG-er, har siden lanseringen av World of Warcraft i 2004 blitt en populær sjanger innenfor digitale spill. Sjangeren har siden vist seg som en utfordring for forskere som arbeider med bevaring. Spillenes komplekse teknologiske oppbygning og struktur gjør oppgaven med å bevare disse spillene for fremtiden, vanskelig. Med min avhandling tar jeg utgangspunkt i ... -
Beyond Alzheimer’s Disease: Can bilingualism be a more generalized protective factor in neurodegeneration?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-31)Bilingualism has been argued to have an impact on cognition and brain structure. Effects have been reported across the lifespan: from healthy children to ageing adults, including clinical (ageing) populations. It has been argued that active bilingualism may significantly contribute to the delaying of the expression of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. If bilingualism plays an ameliorative role against ... -

Beyond Mimesis. War, History, and Memory in Eastwood’s Flags of our Fathers
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2013)A recent series of publications concerning the interrelation between memory, media and history (Erll 2005, Erll/Nünning 2004&2008, Oesterle 2005) bear witness to a growing scholarly interest in issues of reconstructing, representing and conveying past events. Because of its wide reach, film plays a significant role as medium for such processes (Erll/Wodianka 2008, Erll/Rigney 2009). This study focuses ... -

Researchers have argued that bi-multilingualism imposes unique cognitive demands that can change the brain’s structural and functional integrity. In order to investigate the effects of multilingual engagement on cognition, ...
