There is strong evidence that cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is effective. The aim of this study was to compare 7 group-sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for insomnia (MBCT-I) with 3 group-sessions of CBT-I, on sleep measures and sleep related psychological processes, such as pre-sleep arousal, thought control strategies and mindfulness. Participants (N = 44; age 18-66) with long term insomnia were stratified and randomized into waiting list, MBCT-I and CBT-I. Significant improvements were seen in both groups, compared to waiting list, for instance on insomnia severity, sleep latency and restorative sleep. Small improvements on psychological processes were also found in both groups.

A philanthropist needs long arms- An investigation on how to illustrate difficult wordsThe feeling of not understanding all the words that I read made me initiate the project of investigating the capacity of drawn images to increase the understanding of difficult words. I?ve been working with my own personal understanding and skills in illustration.My aim was to reflect on the function, composition and manner of my illustrations. I wanted the images to be clear enough to explain and function as a help for memorizing the words but also open enough to give them a new dimension. One of my conclutions is that my way of changing the original shape of a body in my drawings, by giving it new functions such as longer arms, helps me to explain the words clearer and deeper.

Scientific studies show that good leadership is a key factor for group- and individual development. Studies have also shown that the contrary can curb talented individuals and/or cause stagnation, or even cause groups to halt their progression. This essay studies how leaders in musical and athletic environments look on their own leadership. In interviews, the leaders reflect upon experienced issues related to their profession, their views on difficulties in their leading role, as well as individual, and group development. This study also includes two observations, one in each field of profession.

There were also other strategies being practiced regularly. It was also common to exclude other children from playing, and this was especially when the children wanted to protect their ongoing game, or that someone was not allowed to join because he or she ruined it for the others.

Denna uppsats görs en utvärdering av Agerus PrestationsIndex, ett verktyg för att mäta prestation i organisationer utifrån empowerment. PrestationsIndex är ett självskattningstest och bygger på en modell för empowerment med fem psykologiska rekvisit för självgående. Testet prövas psykometriskt för reliabilitet och validitet. Därutöver testas två hypoteser, dels om PrestationsIndex kan predicera prestation och dels om ojämnhet mellan de psykologiska rekvisiten kan påverka prestationen negativt. Resultaten visar starkt stöd för den första teorin när det gäller att predicera individuell prestation, men kan inte belägga PrestationsIndex som en prediktor för gruppresstation, när man har rensat för miljöfaktorer såsom trivsel och lust till arbetet.

Korrigeringseffekter och stereotyper hänger ihop, för att studera detta användes bilder av ansikten med olika etnicitet och självrapporteringstest skapade av Nosek, Sidanius och Pratto och Dunton och Fazio.Svenska studenter vid Lunds universitet deltog i undersökningen där de delades in två grupper med olika instruktioner, dels falsk information om undersökningens syfte och dels information att vi studerade stereotyper. Detta gjordes för att kunna studera deras korrigeringseffekter. Följaktligen var studien av en experimentell design.Vi fann att korrigeringseffekter fanns hos de båda grupperna vad gällde alla etniska grupper utom vita män, vilka inte hade korrigerats av den grupp som fått felaktig information. Detta visar att korrigering sker för alla minoritetsgrupper till följd av en önskan att inte verka fördomsfull oavsett kontext..

During a political election the public?s interest in politics and political journalism increases significantly.

This project concerns a new lower and mid level compulsory school in the currently developing area of Annedal, northwest of central Stockholm. According to the given program, the school should hold 500 pupils and 100 pre-school children. As an addition to the given program, my suggustion holds a sports hall and a public library.In my project, my ambition has been to investigate how to create an inspiring and exiting place for kids to inhabit and, at the same time, create an activated, central place in a developing suburb. The latter has resulted in the two program-related additions, which purposes is to extend the hours during which the area is activated and to create additional incitements for visiting the building. Both additions are chosen based on lack of service in the area. Architectually, I've been inspired by the medieval castle which has been used as an inspirational resource for the parts of the school holding classrooms.

Vittnens minne från brottstillfällen påverkas av en mängd variabler vilka kan inverka vid en vittneskonfrontation. I studien undersöktes effekten av vapens förekomst vid en simulerad brottssituation, vilket testades i en vittneskonfrontation enligt Rikspolisstyrelsens rekommendationer. Huvudsyftet var att pröva huruvida ett vapen har en effekt på vittnens hågkomst av ett ansikte (weapon focus effect). Inga egentliga resultat påträffades. Emellertid observerades en könsskillnad gällande deltagarnas konfidens relaterat till deras beslut.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka de kognitiva och emotionella reaktioner som sker under långvarig stress. Uppsatsen är inspirerad av en kvalitativ ansats, hermeneutiken. Forskningsmetoden är en fallstudie där två person har blivit intervjuad på djupet i området. I bakgrund och tidigare forskning finns kognitiva och emotionella reaktioner som sker under långvarig stress. Några av dessa reaktioner är depression, ångest, ilska, irritabilitet, försvarsberedskap, minnesstörningar, koncentrationssvårigheter, talstörningar och organisationsproblematik.
