The aim of this study is to examine the information behavior of younger seniors with a special focus on the Internet. Using a qualitative method consisting of a case study, including observations, diaries, questionnaires, and information diaries, we were able to compare the information behavior of the seniors in their use of the Internet, with the information behavior in their everyday life. The result of the study shows that the respondents led very active lives and used many different information sources in everyday life. They did not only seek information, but also assimilated it, often with a purpose to mediate it to other people. The motives behind the information use in everyday life were mainly connected to their life situations.

Syftet med undersökningen är att studera ungdomars intressen och inställning till samhället, och dess institutioner, samt etiska ställningstaganden, rörande droger, brott och om att få respekt, i förhållande till i vilken miljö ungdomarna spenderar sin fria tid. Undersökningsfrågorna kretsar kring om något mönster kan ses, och hur det i så fall ser ut, när det gäller social inställning och intressen bland fritidsgårdsaktiva ungdomar i jämförelse med föreningsidrottade, i en mindre stad i jämförelse med en större, bland barn till föräldrar med låg respektive hög yrkeskvalifikationsnivå, separat respektive sammanboende, med etnisk svensk eller annan bakgrund samt vilket av dessa eventuella mönster som syns vara tydligast. Teoribakgrunden består av definitioner av de centrala begreppen social, prosocial, antisocial, yrkeskvalifikationsnivå,habitus, fält och olika former av kapital, samt teorier och tidigare forskning kring ungdomars attitydsbildning, stadier av moraliskt resonerande, samt fritidsgården och utveckling av antisocialt beteende. Studien har genomförts i form av intervjuer med användande av enkät under ledning. Urvalsgrupperna har bestått av sammanlagt 77 ungdomar, mellan 15 och 19 år, på två fritidsgårdar i södra Sverige (undersökningsgrupper) samt i idrottsföreningar på respektive orter (kontrollgrupper). När det gäller huvudanalysperspektiven syns föräldrarnas yrkeskvalifikationsnivå, efter en kvantitativ analys, ha störst samband med inställningen till polisen och mopedfortkörning i Lillstad (där arbetarbarnen har en närmast antisocial inställning). I övrigt visar fritidsgårdsaktivitet i jämförelse med föreningsidrottande på tydligast mönster med störst skillnader avseende inställning till polisen i Storstad samt för båda orterna när det gäller inställning till skolan och studieinsats samt intresset för musicerande. Ungdomarna på denna studies fritidsgårdar har en generellt prosocial inställning. I Storstad är inställningen överlag mer prosocial bland de fritidsgårdsaktiva än de lokala föreningsidrottarna i kontrollgruppen. Enda gemensamma undantaget är inställningen till polisen..

Två studier undersökte hur self-efficacy, individens tro på sin förmåga, inverkar på prosocialt beteende i skolmiljö. I Studie 1 besvarade 121 gymnasieelever en enkät, som mätte akademisk och emotionell self-efficacy samt prosocialt beteende. I Studie 2 besvarade 48 gymnasieelever en enkät, som mätte emotionell self-efficacy och prosocialt beteende. Studie 1 visade att akademisk men inte emotionell self-efficacy korrelerade positivt med prosocialt beteende. I begreppet emotionell self-efficacy finns två känsloreaktioner: själv- och andraorienterade.

Animal welfare is impaired if the diet does not provide sufficient feeling of satiety or the ability to perform natural feeding behavior. Pigs are omnivores and spend most of the day searching for food by rooting, grazing and chewing. Both inability to perform foraging behavior and insufficient feeling of satiety often leads to direction of foraging behavior towards stereotyped and abnormal oral behavior. Dry sows are often fed restrictively which leads to unsatisfied feeling of hunger. Dietary fiber has been found to reduce stereotypic and abnormal behavior as well as aggression, which could indicate that pigs need to forage has been met giving a feeling of satiety.
