On the other hand the results showed two significant differences in WPPSI-III regarding Picture categories and Word repetition tests for Swedish Non-word.

Syftet med denna studie var att inom den positiva psykologins ramar se hur optimism (LOT-r, Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 1994) förhåller sig till lyckonivå (OHQ, Hills & Argyle 2002) och livstillfredsställelse (SWLS, Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985) och om detta skiljer sig i kön, civilstånd och ålder. Studien undersökte också vad som gör individer lyckliga. Urvalet var av snöbollsmetoden och 106 respondenter deltog där 47 var män och 59 var kvinnor. Civilstånd delades upp i tre kategorier, gifta/sambo, särbo och ensamstående. Ålder delades upp i tre kategorier, 18-29, 30-49 och 50-74.

Denna studie undersöker lärare-elevrelationen utifrån elevens upplevelser. Syftet med studien var att få fördjupad kunskap om vad det är gymnasieelever upplever när de känner sig positivt respektive negativt bemötta av lärare, i skolsituationen och att pröva hypotesen att lärarens förmåga till, eller brist på, empati är ett nyckelelement i informanternas minnesbilder. Inledningsvis belyses relationen utifrån aktuell forskning. Åtta djupintervjuer genomfördes och analyserades enligt en fenomenologisk femstegsprocess. Resultatet av studien visar att empati är en viktig komponent i elevernas minnesbilder och fyra teman abstraherades ur intervjumaterialet: Förståelse, jämlikhet, engagemang och rättvisa.
