In the wake of World War II, all previously German-occupied countries in Western Europe carried out legal settlements with those citizens suspected of treasonous collaboration with the occupier. Of these, Norway's treason trials were the most extensive, having as their basis a lower threshold for criminalisation than other countries. According to two legal decrees adopted by the Norwegian ...

Do people with different views of what is fair attribute different intentions to actions? In a novel experimental design, participants were significantly more likely to attribute a no-redistribution vote to selfishness if they considered redistribution as being fair. I define this—attributing actions that do not adhere to one’s own fairness view to selfishness—as suspicious attribution. I develop ...

Leslie matrix models with nonzero nonlinear fecundity elements are under consideration. It is proved that by use of the general Deriso–Schnute recruitment function the supercritical nature of bifurcations in 2- and 3-age class models and a thorough analysis of 1:2 and 1:3 resonance phenomena are also provided. A discussion of impact of coexisting attractors and structures of trapping regions is ...

Intrinsic and extrinsic sensory elements influence our food experiences. However, most research on extrinsic multisensory aspects of food has centered on WEIRD (White, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) urban participants. This study breaks from this trend by investigating multisensory food experiences in the context of Northern Norway, a region characterized by distinct seasonal ...

The study examines the effects of the dark triad traits (i.e., psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism) on positive word-of-mouth (WOM) intention for luxury products, and the moderating role of others’ opinion divergence (i.e., whether or not a consumer’s opinion deviates from that of the reference group). An experiment with 208 respondents tested the research hypotheses, shedding light on the ...

Shopping carts can be designed to accommodate and integrate smart devices seamlessly within a retail setting, allowing for enhanced connectivity and functionality. Moreover, smart devices on a smart shopping cart can provide verbal motivating stimuli to enhance consumers’ purchasing of healthy food. A conjoint experiment was conducted to examine the potential influence of motivating stimuli on smart ...

We examine directional connectedness patterns from news and social media to financial market volatility using textual analysis and high-frequency data. We find that media sentiment induces market volatility, but the magnitude of that connectedness is time-varying. In addition, news and social media sentiment pertinent to one market transmits volatility to other markets. Finally, we find that ...

In this study, we combined reflexive monitoring—a critical assessment, evaluation, and practice-adjustment process—with participatory learning through educational games to advance transformative sustainable tourism methodologies. The methodology was tested in a workshop with tourism practitioners in Norway. Using a constructivist lens, we analysed the narratives participants shared via game artefacts, ...

Denne oppgaven dreier seg om hvordan norske arbeidstakere opplever WLB. Målet med oppgaven var å se på hvordan individuell variasjon i WLB kan forklares, og hvilke virkninger god eller dårlig WLB har for den enkelte arbeidstaker. For å kunne gjøre dette måtte vi først utarbeide en WLB indeks. Den fungerte som et mål for opplevd WLB blant de ansatte. WLB indeksen ble utarbeidet med bakgrunn i teori ...
