  1. 1. The perception of actions and interactions : And the importance of context

    Författare :Joshua Juvrud; Gustaf Gredebäck; Denis Mareschal; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : The perception of actions and interactions is a dynamic process linked with perceptual processes, the internal and external states of the individual, prior experiences, and the immediate environment. Given these differential contexts, it is very likely there are differences in how infants perceive, interpret, and respond to actions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Brain characteristics of memory decline and stability in aging : Contributions from longitudinal observations

    Författare :Sara Pudas; Jonas Persson; Lars Nyberg; Emrah Düzel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; aging; episodic memory; individual differences; longitudinal assessment; magnetic resonance imaging; hippocampus; frontal cortex; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Aging is typically associated with declining mental abilities, most prominent for some forms of memory.

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of the thesis is to answer questions on general and differential aspects of perceived exertion and on the measurement of its intensity variation. Overall perceived exertion is commonly treated as a unidemensional construct. This thesis also explores its multidimensional character. Four empirical studies are summarized (Study I-IV). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Workplace stress measured by Job Stress Survey and relationships to musculoskeletal complaints

    Författare :Stefan Holmström; Bo Molander; Margareta Barnekow-Bergkvist; Lars R Bergman; Umeå universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this thesis was to evaluate and test the Job Stress Survey (JSS, Spielberger, 1991; Spielberger & Vagg, 1999), a self-report instrument which assesses workplace stress. In the thesis a thorough evaluation is made of JSS scales and items, and the relations to health, particularly musculoskeletal complaints. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Between Ourselves : Automatic mimicry reactions as related to empathic ability and patterns of attachment

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigated emotional communication in experimentally created face-to-face interaction situations. The hypotheses were based on the conception of a process which leads to emotional empathy, assuming that automatic mimicking tendencies are involved in an automatic part of the process. LÄS MER
