  Emotional responses to anthropogenic climate change have attracted significant attention. People negotiate emotions through culturally available frameworks. This study, based on 18 focus group discussions, explores in detail three instances of how Norwegian youth engage affectively with climate change. Utilising affect and discourse theory, we conceptualise affective dilemmas as conflicts arising from contradictory expectations made available through discourse. These dilemmas are negotiated through affective-discursive practices. Through a discourse-oriented analysis, we illustrate how ecological distress is interpreted, enacted, and resisted. We identified three key affective-discursive dilemmas: (a) climate anxiety as voluntary versus involuntary, (b) fear as motivation versus a barrier for climate action, and (c) responsibility for climate actions versus self-care. Participants engaged in practices such as (a) purposeful engagement with climate anxiety, (b) detachment from ecological distress, and (c) self-care and staying positive. The study contributes to social psychology by applying affective-discursive theory to understand how youth make sense of and use eco-emotion categories in dialogue. It empirically shows how discussions on ecological issues reflect cultural expectations of self-care and positivity and individualised emotional management. The analysis highlights how socio-cultural imperatives shape youths' emotional responses, which may sideline collective climate action and favour psychological solutions to ecological crises.

  One of the pathways through which psychology may function as "politics by other means" is when scientific knowledge from the discipline is used to inform and influence the public on issues of health and well-being. To illustrate this point, we explore "Only You," a Norwegian public health campaign composed of psychoeducational videos and web resources and aimed to promote well-being in the general Norwegian population. By drawing upon critical psychological literature on agency, neoliberal subjectivity, responsibilizing and neurogovernance, we critically analyze promotional and instructional videos that explicitly targeted individual behavioral change. We demonstrate how these campaign videos appropriate psychological knowledge and conceal societal contexts in order to responsibilize subjects and thereby perpetuate neoliberal ideas and practices in the Norwegian welfare state. In this sense, they provide illustrations of how psychology can be a tool for restricting agency under the guise of encouraging autonomy.

Measurement Invariance of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire Across 17 Countries. Applied Research in Quality of Life. ISSN 1871-2584. 18, p. 1491–1519. doi: 10.1007/s11482-023-10150-7.

  Abstract The Meaning in Life Questionnaire assesses presence of and search for meaning in life. Although the questionnaire has shown promising psychometric properties in samples from different countries, the scale’s measurement invariance across a large number of nations has yet to be assessed. This study is aimed at addressing this gap, providing insight into how meaning in life is constructed and experienced across countries and into the extent to which cross-country comparisons can be made. A total of 3867 adult participants from 17 countries, aged 30–60, balanced by gender, and with at least secondary education, completed the questionnaire as part of the Eudaimonic and Hedonic Happiness Investigation. Single sample confirmatory factor analysis, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis, and alignment optimization were applied to investigate the scale’s performance across the samples. Good psychometric properties and high levels of approximate measurement invariance emerged for the Presence subscale after removal of item 9, the only reverse-phrased item. Performance of the Search subscale varied more across samples, suggesting caution in interpreting related results supporting approximate measurement invariance. The conceptualization of presence of meaning operationalized in the corresponding subscale (without item 9) appears consistent across countries, whereas search for meaning seems to be less universally homogenous and requires further exploration. Moreover, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire does not reflect the conceptual distinction between “purpose” and “meaning” currently acknowledged by researchers. This issue should be further explored in studies addressing the scale’s performance across cultures.

  When people experience rare medical conditions or variations, searching online may be the only way to find others with similar experiences. This study examines what happens when people do just that. The dataset for the research has been generated from online posts by people living with variations of sex characteristics, which some call intersex variations. Our analysis focuses on how emotion appears in online posts, how affect becomes embodied in digital contexts, and how norms are negotiated as people relate to one another about the variations that some of them experience. We offer an analysis grounded in digital affect theory to contribute to health research literature. We suggest how health researchers and healthcare providers might develop more nuanced understandings of the emotional realities of people living with variations of sex characteristics.

  How do young people interpret and negotiate their sense of being affected in the context of social media use? Our study draws on recent theorizing that views affective practices as discursive, relational, and imbued with power. We specifically address practices that users engage in as they pursue forms of digitally mediated emotional involvement when using Snapchat, an image-based social media application. Our data consist of focus group dialogues with Norwegian students aged 16-19, recruited from schools selected for socio-economic and multicultural diversity. Excerpts exemplify how Snapchat use is not only engagingly talked about, but also affects non-digital everyday interactions. The analysis illustrates how young people’s talk about Snapchat deploys various discursive objects that convey promises of happiness and well-being, and affords particular forms of subjectivity. Image-sharing practices, and how they are communicated and felt, are embedded in and reproduce social norms, yet also provide spaces of belonging.

  This article works across psychology and feminist media studies to offer an empirically grounded investigation of affective expression in social media. To work empirically with understandings of affect and to examine affective engagements via social media, we explore Instagram fans’ responses to the Norwegian TV series Skam (translation: “shame”). We draw on feminist theoretical perspectives on affectivity and emotion, and critical psychological perspectives on well-being. We ask: how are affect and emotion woven through contributors’ expressions, what do contributors write about their sense of belonging, and what is hoped for through affective engagement? By analyzing contributors’ writing about their experiences of how Skam has affected their lives, this study illustrates how contributors to social media produce the idea of life as radically open to transformation. This analysis demonstrates how passionately imagined connections create new opportunities for becoming and belonging

  Aims: This article discusses the rationale for measuring national well-being, and examines the use of subjectively oriented well-being measures in the context of public policy. Recent years have witnessed growing attention towards the concept and measurement of wellbeing, both within academic disciplines, intergovernmental organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as in many governments across Europe including the Nordic countries. Economic indicators have commonly been regarded as proxies of societal progress of nations, but indicators of well-being have increasingly been applied in order to complement or replace these measures. Methods: Well-being indicators of the WHO “Health 2020” framework are critically examined with particular attention toward subjective aspects of well-being. Literature discussing the rationale for subjective indicators is reviewed. As a background, central theoretical and measurement perspectives on well-being are outlined, including hedonic, eudaimonic and objective list approaches. Results: The WHO refers to well-being in definitions of health and mental health, but has primarily reported on disease. The “Health 2020” framework marked a shift in this concern. One of the main targets of “Health 2020” concerns well-being, involving six core indicators. Only one indicator refers to well-being as subjective experience. Literature supports more extensive use of subjective indicators in combination with objective measures. Conclusions: Although consensus on definitions and instruments is lacking, subjective and objective measures of national well-being may jointly contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of societal progress, as well as a broader conception of health. Further research is required particularly with regard to eudaimonic indicators.

  Well-being is a widely discussed topic in research, policy, and media. This study was aimed at examining usage patterns of core terminology related to well-being in Norwegian newspapers during the past two decades. Specifically, we investigated occurrence across time of 39 words describing well-being facets from four theoretical perspectives: affective approaches, cognitive or life satisfaction approaches, eudaimonic and humanistic approaches, and character strengths. Four major newspapers were selected in order to capture sociocultural and regional variation. Evidence of significant changes in usage frequency was detected for about half of the search terms. Affective words showed variable trends, while usage of words referring to satisfaction declined. The most notable magnitude of change concerned the increase in eudaimonic words related to mastery, motivation, and self-development. Findings suggest that core vocabulary of well-being belongs to a changeable field of linguistic practice. Implications for positive psychology are proposed.

  The need for increasing conceptual clarity within well-being research has been stressed by social scientists as well as policymakers and international organizations. The present study aimed to identify and compare conceptual structures of the everyday terms happiness, a good life, and satisfaction, based on a semi-stratified sample of Norwegian adults. Findings indicate that these terms share certain conceptual similarities, as used in everyday Norwegian language. For each term, it was possible to identify an underlying structure of conceptual configuration, articulated into external life domain components and internal, psychological dimensions. Relationship themes were prominent among the external domains for all three terms. Findings indicated that in Norwegian participants’ understanding, happiness and good life were highly inclusive of external life domains, whereas satisfaction primarily evoked associations to internal, psychological states and experiences. Latent class analyses highlighted differences among socio-demographic groups as concerns the degree to which different conceptualizations of the three terms were endorsed. Findings raise questions about the practice, relatively common in the applied social sciences, of treating happiness, good life and satisfaction as highly similar concepts, and the assumption that each term carries the same meaning for everyone.

  I dette kapittelet legger vi til grunn at politi bør danne en best mulig forståelse av hvordan forholdet mellom dem selv og andre mennesker kan utvikle seg i ulike operative samhandlingssituasjoner. Ved å fokusere særskilt på god kommunikasjon i operativt politiarbeid tar vi i dette kapittelet sikte på å belyse spesielt viktige deler av kommunikasjonsprosessen. I kapittelet legger vi også frem konkrete forslag til hvordan politistudenter og betjenter kan utvikle bedre ferdigheter med tanke på å forstå, lytte til og snakke med andre personer.

  Order kommunikasjon stammer fra det latinske ordet communicare, som betyr å dele eller å gjøre noe felles eller kjent. Når vi deler noe, for eksempel informasjon, mening eller kunnskap, gjør vi det per definisjon med andre mennesker. Kommunikasjon i politiarbeid dreier seg derfor om relasjoner og samhandling, både politikollegaer seg imellom og mellom politiet og publikum eller offentligheten. Vårt perspektiv legger til grunn at politiet bør ha en dialogisk og relasjonell tilnærming til kommunikasjon (f.eks. Linell, 2009; Rommetveit, 2008) i operativt politiarbeid. Dette kapittelet beskriver de grunnleggende elementene i en slik dialogisk tilnærming. Politiet trenger å forstå, analysere og samhandle med publikum i mange forskjellige kommunikasjonssituasjoner. Figur 5.1 illustrerer fire kjernebegreper i vårt dialogiske relasjonsperspektiv på kommunikasjon: tegn, kommunikasjonshandlinger, relasjonsprosesser og kontekst. Denne enkle figuren vil kunne være et hjelpemiddel i de mange møtene med publikum så vel som en «guide» til resten av kapittelet.

  Satisfaction with life is often considered to be a component of or a synonym for subjective well-being. However, the meaning of “satisfaction” is rarely discussed in the scientific literature. The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning potential of the Norwegian term for satisfaction (tilfredshet). A conceptual analysis was conducted based on the qualitative responses of 276 Norwegian adults to the question “What is satisfaction for you?” Based on principles of thematic analysis, text data units were examined to develop a framework of recurrent themes and superordinate categories. The analysis demonstrated that the word “satisfaction” in everyday Norwegian language does not unequivocally point toward a unitary, clear-cut affective or evaluative phenomenon. Instead, its meaning potential was found to include material, physiological and interpersonal conditions, activities, internal psychological states, and circumstances and contexts of well-being, connected by temporal and causal assumptions. In addition to hedonic understandings, eudaimonic and processual conceptualizations of satisfaction were identified. Findings support a conceptual co-existence of satisfaction as satisficing (conditions evaluated as good enough) and as more optimal fulfilment (conditions evaluated as good). Further qualitative studies of conceptual understanding across cultural contexts and languages are recommended.

  This chapter investigates a Norwegian TV show calledLuksusfellen (The Luxury Trap). Each episode follows an individual or a couple who are having problems with personal debt. Like many others of its ilk, it presents a variety of indebted individuals whom the hosts try to help out of their predicament. What this particular show provides is an acute example of how debt, and implicitly the debt industry, is articulated in a public arena. It also enables an analysis of how various discourses around debt are both constructed and reproduced. This analytic frame is with particular reference to sociocultural dimensions and how often complex personal circumstances are presented as simplistic financial ones. Debt, and the debtor-creditor relationship, functions in a social capacity as much as it does a financial one. Understanding how the social conditions, specifically the various discourses, around debt are constructed is of significant importance as these attempt to smuggle in various moral and political assumptions, which contribute to legitimating and reproducing the currently hegemonic neoliberal ideology.

  TØI har på oppdrag fra Hordaland fylkeskommune drøftet alternative kontraktsformer for kollektivtrafikken i fylket framover. En av konklusjonene på disse analysene er at det utvikles resultatavhengige tilskuddskontrakter som i sterkere grad legger vekt på de samfunnsøkonomiske målene for kollektivtransporten. En slik tilskuddskontrakt forutsetter at det skilles klarere mellom de ulike aktørenes roller, fylkeskommunen som strategisk tilrettelegger og kollektivselskapene med større ansvar for planlegging og produktutvikling. Analysene i denne rapporten viser at en overgang til resultatavhengige tilskuddskontrakter på sikt kan gi en samfunnsøkonomisk gevinst på om lag 100 mill kr og ca 13 prosent flere passasjerer. Samtidig vil det kreve økte tilskudd til kollektivtransporten og da særlig i Bergensområdet. TØI har på oppdrag fra Hordaland fylkeskommune drøftet alternative kontraktsformer for kollektivtrafikken i fylket framover. En av konklusjonene på disse analysene er at det utvikles resultatavhengige tilskuddskontrakter som i sterkere grad legger vekt på de samfunnsøkonomiske målene for kollektivtransporten. En slik tilskuddskontrakt forutsetter at det skilles klarere mellom de ulike aktørenes roller, fylkeskommunen som strategisk tilrettelegger og kollektivselskapene med større ansvar for planlegging og produktutvikling.
