Distinguishing the Need to Belong and Sense of Belongingness: The Relation between Need to Belong and Personal Appraisals under Two Different Belongi…
2023
People are frequently caught in the hold between the need to belong and the fear of exclusion. However, these needs might be expressed differently under different belongingness conditions, where other powerful social processes are accentuated. Thus, the need to belong and social exclusion are concepts that are subjectively appraised based on one’s social relations. The present study aims to examine the relationship between the need to belong and five personal appraisals under two different belongingness conditions: (1) social-emotion support and (2) social-value representation. A total of 201 participants from two different groups were presented with 69 different items measuring five person…

The Healthy Body Image intervention and reduction in eating disorder symptomatology and muscle building supplement use in high school students: a stu…
2022
BackgroundMediation analysis is important to test the theoretical framework underpinning an intervention. We therefore aimed to investigate if the healthy body image (HBI) intervention’s effect on eating disorder (ED) symptomatology and use of muscle building supplements was mediated by the change in risk and protective factors for ED development and muscle building supplement use.MethodsThis study used data from the HBI intervention: a cluster randomized controlled universal intervention aiming to promote positive body image and embodiment and reduce the risk for ED development including 30 schools in Norway. A total of 1,713 (37% boys) participants were included in the analyses. Condition…
Selecting the special or choosing the common? A high-powered conceptual replication of Kim and Markus’ (1999) pen study
2022
Kim and Markus (1999) found that 74% of Americans selected a pen with an uncommon (vs. common) color, whereas only 24% of Asians made such a choice, highlighting a pronounced crosscultural difference in the extent to which people opt for originality or make majority-based choices. The present high-powered study (N = 729) conceptually replicates the results from Kim and Markus (1999; Study 3). However, our obtained effect size (r = .12) is significantly weaker than that of the original study (r = .52). Interestingly, given the globalization of mass media and the rapid economic progress of many Asian cultures during the last decades, a larger proportion of Chinese, but not American, participa…
An Examination of the Relationship Between Coaches’ Transformational Leadership and Athletes’ Personal and Group Characteristics in Elite Youth Soccer
2021
There is a growing body of the literature highlighting the positive impact of transformational leadership behaviours across contexts, including sport. However, there is a lack of knowledge of this relationship within elite sport settings. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between elite youth athletes’ perceptions of coaches’ transformational coaching-behaviours and variables that have been linked to transformational leadership in other settings (i.e., group cohesion, motivational climate, self-regulation of learning and athlete satisfaction). Norwegian elite youth soccer players (n= 753) selected into the national talent development program completed que…
Er sluttbrukere forberedt på elektronisk kurve? : Sluttbrukeres erfaring med opplæring i elektronisk kurve og medikasjon
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 BackgroundAs part of the digitalisation of health Norway, a newdigital system is introduced for the documentation of clinical protocolsand medication throughout the Helse Sør-ØstRHF. The system MetaVision replaces today's paper solutions and a few cases of other electronic systems on all health establishments. In that context, there are thousands of employees who needs to be trained. While large sums of money are being used on clinical-ICT in health care, there is little evidence of what works and what doesn't work when it comes to training. The purpose of the project is to look at this. The following issue is the…
Ti år med EQ i skolen : en case-studie av forholdet mellom EQ og måloppnåelse i skolen
2016
Masteroppgave ledelse ORG917 - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Purpose and Research The goal of this thesis has been to find out to what extent the systematic introduction of "EQ in school" has succeeded, and in which areas. I have also focused on finding out through theory and examination of a selected unit whether EQ has a connection with achievement. For Norwegian schools to be able to adopt new methods that promote a positive in-school learning environment, it is important that those responsible can make informed decisions, and that information on new methods are based on research and results. According to Norwegian school researcher Thomas Nordahl, the learning environment is crucial for st…
