The purpose of this paper is to study the connection between Taoism and analytical Psychology. This is done by descriptive text analysis of post-jungian literature. Often mentioned when searching for the inspirations and influences on analytical Psychology we find references to alchemy, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Hinduism and the hermetic tradition. More seldom do we meet any references to Taoism. My aim is to investigate what gravity do the post-jungians attach to the taoism influence on C.G.

The field of coping has become more developed during the past decades but there is still a lot to be discovered and discussed. Theories of developmental Psychology describe the possibility to map a general developmental structure of how the human mind expands. The aim of this study is to contribute to further research in whether there is a reason why we cope the way we do in relation to age. The questions answered in this study was, what coping two girls, whom lived during the Holocaust, used and how the coping found, were possible to interpret from theories of developmental Psychology. In order to answer the questions asked a method called Template Analysis Style and three different theories have been applied.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the process in which Psychology was separated from philosophy and established itself as a distinct academic discipline in Sweden. I argue that the concept of will, as well as the concepts of thinking and emotion, have a lot to tell us about the rise of academic Psychology in Sweden. This is done through an analysis of Psychology textbooks, encyclopaedia-articles and academic texts on the themes will and Psychology, from around 1800 till 1950.Prior to the establishment of the first chair of Psychology in Uppsala 1948, the discipline was above all a part of the philosophical discipline. For Psychology to become a science of its own, it was crucial to obtain a position among the empirical sciences. It thus had to distance itself from philosophy, and in particular from metaphysics.

This assignment is a venture into the use of the concept alchemy in the texts on analytical Psychology written by Carl G. Jung. Originally the idea was to compare the blending of colours in art painting with the Jungian understanding of alchemy. In order to understand the many and it seems differentiated correlations to alchemy in the texts on analytical Psychology written by C.G. Jung, I have found it necessary to investigate the history of alchemy in modern Europe and the Egyptian figure of Hermes Trismegistos.

The combat mission is an extreme situation with high demands of the soldier. Killing might very well be necessary. Before a mission a soldier can experience stress due to these factors.

The main questions of this essay: -How can certain parts of the physiological Psychology improve a soldiers ability to perform a mission? ? Is the Swedish soldier mentally prepared to kill? The theory for this essay has been described using litteratur by experts within the field, and the results thereafter discussed.

Transcending sound design is possible. There are unseen possibilities and a great potential for improvement and development in sound and music design ? but there is a great difficulty penetrating the obstacles that lies in the way for such development to take place and to exist. The difficulties in being negotiable and productive lies more within the limits of the audience it has to gain, than in itself. It is as though music and sound design has to evolve very slowly, in an almost evolutionary style; one step at a time, to be accepted.

Denna undersökning är ämnad att utforska högstadiekillars syn på de bakomliggande orsakerna till det faktum att deras grundskolebetyg är sämre än tjejernas, och att denna skillnad ökar.

Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga en grupp tonårskillars ridintresse samt att se hur detta intresse kan ha påverkat deras identitetsutveckling. Deltagare i studien var sex tonårskillar i åldrarna 17 till 19 år. Datainsamlingen skedde med hjälp av öppna, explorativa tematiserade intervjuer. Resultaten visade att det framförallt var två saker som var viktiga för killarna med deras ridintresse, dels att prestera genom tävlande och dels kontakten med hästen. Andra saker som också hade viss betydelse var det sociala umgänget med andra människor som rider samt utövandet av en idrott.

Vilken betydelse har en arbetssökandes etnicitet och beslutsunderlagets diagnosticitet (informationskvalitet) för en granskarens benägenhet att rekommendera anställning? 172 studenter fick läsa en utskrift från en anställningsintervju och skatta hur pass anställbar den arbetssökande (svensk eller utländsk) var utifrån den information som erhölls (diagnostisk eller ickediagnostisk). Hypotesen om att sämre information om den sökandes personlighetsegenskaper medför lägre skattad anställningslämplighet för sökande med invandrarbakgrund (p.g.a. av negativa stereotyper) men inte för svenskar kunde inte bekräftas. Tvärtom skattades den utländske sökanden som mer anställbar än den svenske när informationen var ickediagnostisk (p = .03).

In this thesis, it is investigated if it is possible to create a common factor of the work tasks done by an air traffic controller, which then can measure workload. This will lead to the development of a tool to measure workload at small airports. In the research project a questionnaire is created to measure the different tasks an air traffic controller has. The same questionnaire will also measure the number of environmental factors that exists around the air traffic controller. To measure the validity of the questionnaire, the authors are using NASA-TLX.
