Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det sker en social desirability effekt vid självskatting av egenskaper som beskriver manliga och kvinnliga stereotyper när dessa egenskaper framhävs positivt. Studien ämnade ytterligare undersöka om män och kvinnor skiljer sig åt i social desirability. Ett experiment utfördes där försökspersonerna slumpvis fördelades över en kontrollbetingelse och två experimentbetingelser. Den ena experimentbetingelsen tilldelades en kvinnlig manipulation där kvinnliga stereotyper framhävdes positivt medan den andra experimentbetingelsen tilldelades en manlig manipulation där manliga stereotyper framhävdes positivt. Kontrollbetingelsen tilldelades ingen manipulation.

Den här C-uppsatsen utforskar möjligheterna att utforma applikationer till interaktiva plattformar som lär barn att lösa abstrakta problem och samtidigt är användbara för lärare i skolmiljö. Uppsatsen presenterar olika teorier och använder sedan det insamlade materialet som utgångspunkt för att testa om och hur dessa teorier kan tillämpas i ett specifikt fall. Resultatet sammanställs i form av en prototyp som testas på en klass förstaårselever i Stockholm..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad eleverna på gymnasiet anser vara viktigast att lära sig inom historieämnet samt att se vilken skillnad det finns mellan de elever som har föräldrar med förgymnasial utbildning, föräldrar med gymnasial utbildning och föräldrar med eftergymnasial utbildning. Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av en enkätundersökning i fyra olika klasser; en barn- och fritidsklass, en naturvetenskaplig klass och två samhällsvetenskapliga klasser. En jämförelse har sedan gjorts med andra liknande undersökningar, t.ex. Youth- and history-undersökningen från 1995 och Sture Långströms undersökning från 2000. Resultaten från min undersökning och de andra pekar på att eleverna anser att det är viktigast och mest intressant med nutidshistoria i Europa och Sverige.

This study examines whether Christer Winberg's thesis of the landless growth can be applied to Björklinge parish in Uppland. Winberg believes that it was mainly children of tenant farmers who became landless.

Ungdomars attityder och värderingar gentemot politik är något som sedan årtionden tillbaka undersökts. Det finns undersökningar som visar att ungdomars politiska intresse minskar. Sociologen Ulrich Beck förklarar det minskade intresset som ett led i individualiseringsprocessen, vilket är teorin i föreliggande uppsats. Uppsatsen grundar sig på en enkätundersökning i tre städer, Stockholm, Norrköping och Skänninge. I varje stad har en klass i år 9 svarat på enkäten.
