Hastighetsreduktion på genomfartsleder, genom icke-tvingande åtgärder i vägmiljön
The study was conducted with an landscape approach with an subject related approach in the field of environmental psychology to investigate how road design affects drivers' choice of speed. The purpose was to portray road environments on thoroughfares in urban areas to motivate motorists to keep the speed limit and thus increase road safety for vulnerable road users. The task question was formulated, how can thoroughfares in suburban settings be portrayed to motivate motorists to reduce speed?
The study was conducted throughout a literature review of motivational speed measures along with interviews with road design experts at the Swedish Transport Administration. Case studies were conducted on three thoroughfares in the Stockholm suburbs Vallentuna, Upplands Väsby and Danderyd.
Inlevelse genom narrativ i spel
Detta kandidatarbete undersöker problemet med konvergeringen av narrativ och
interaktion och varför en konvergering mellan dessa hämmar deltagarens
inlevelse i ett spel. Utifrån spelet Traverser redovisas i detta kandidatarbete
processen och resultatet av hur ett interaktivt narrativ kan väcka inlevelse
hos deltagaren genom att låta berättandet ske subtilt och icke-linjärt, där
spelaren uppmanas till att vilja utforska narrativet på egen hand i form av en
miljö i Traverser.
This bachelor?s thesis discusses the problem of converging narrative and
interaction and why the convergence between the two tends to arrest the
participants immersion within a game. Through an interactive narrative by
letting the narration take place subtly and nonlinearly, this bachelor?s thesis
reports the process and result of how an interactive narrative could provoke
immersion within the game Traverser, where the actor is urged to explore the
narrative independently in the shape of an environment.

Locus of Control och arbetstillfredsställelse hos män och kvinnor i privat och offentlig sektor
Syftet med undersökningen var att se om det fanns någon skillnad i Locus of
Control och arbetstillfredsställelse hos män och kvinnor i privat och offentlig
sektor. Antal deltagare i undersökningen var 60 där två urvalsgrupper använts

ett Locus of Control formulär. T- test, korrelationsanalys, multipel regression
och tvåvägs-ANOVA användes för beräkning av data i SPSS. Slutsatser som kunde
dras var att män generellt sett är mer tillfredsställda än kvinnor och att
offentliganställda är mer tillfredsställda än privatanställda.
Utomhusmiljöns betydelse för hälsa och lärande : en enkätundersökning om gymnasieungdomars upplevelser
One of our big public health problems in Sweden is that human beings are too inactive in outdoor settings. That is why stress related diseases increase and influence humans both mentally and physical. The physical activity is halved among many children when they start school and the older they become the less they enjoy school. It is also an increasing problem that children and youth in today's society have lack of worthwhile experiences in the nature. The aim of this study was therefore to examine how the experience of outdoor environment had importance for health and learning on upper secondary school pupils.
Arbetsmotivation och välbefinnande under en organisationsförändring

Both questionnaires and interviews were adopted to examine the area of interest. Findings indicate that the organizational change is considered chaotic but necessary by the employees.
Är ungdomar på svenska skolor rasistiskt fördomsfulla?: En explicit mätning på rasism, Empati och Social Önskvärdhet.
AbstraktI dagens mångkulturella Sverige, där invandringen har varit stor de senaste åren, är det mycket aktuellt att undersöka om det finns rasistiska fördomar bland svenska ungdomar. Vi bad skolungdomar på två skolor i Sydsverige fylla i en enkät för att undersöka hur egentligen ligger till på den fronten, då det inte finns så mycket forskning inom den åldersgruppen. Den ena skolan hade hög invandrartäthet, medan den andra hade låg invandrartäthet. Ungdomar med invandrarbakgrund hade i genomsnitt lägre värden på rasismskalorna än ungdomar med svensk bakgrund. En förklaring kan vara att rasismfrågorna handlade om invandrare och inte om svenskar.

Motiverande samtal som metod för ökad närvaro i gymnasieskolan?
Effektiviteten av manualiserad Motivational Interviewing prövades i en experimentell design. Gymnasieelever med hög frånvaro (n=89) blockrandomiserades till antingen två sessioner Motivational Interviewing eller någon av de två kontrollgrupperna, som erhöll validerande samtal respektive ingen intervention. Den beroende variabeln utgjordes av förändring i frånvaro som rapporterades av de deltagande skolorna. Utöver detta användes School Refusal Assessment Scale för att undersöka orsaker till frånvaron. University of Rhode Island Change Assessment användes för att mäta motivation enligt Prochaska och DiClementes förändringsmodell.
Mer lika än olika. Kvinnor och mäns kroppsuppfattning, självkänsla och kroppsjämförelse.
Kroppsmissnöje är mer utbrett hos kvinnor än hos män visar tidigare studier (Feingold & Mazzella, 1998) men även män börjar bli kroppsmissnöjda (Cash, Morrow, Hrabosky & Perry, 2004). Detta undersöktes tillsammans med självkänsla och kroppsjämförelse hos män och kvinnor och även de som har partner eller är singlar i ljuset av Social Comparison Theory och Cognitive Dissonance Theory. 133 personer testades med Body-Esteem scale, Figure Drawing Rating Scale, Self-esteem Scale och Universalistic Social Comparison Scale. Resultatet indikerar att båda könen är relativt nöjda men kvinnorna är något mindre nöjda med utseendet med sin kropp. Studien visar även att kvinnors idealbild är en smalare kropp medan männens idealbild är en muskulösare kropp.
