Syftet med studien var att explorativt undersöka sambandet mellan social identitet och egen attityd till klimatvänligt beteende och klimatfrågan. Mer specifikt ämnade studien att undersöka huruvida stark identifikation med sju olika sociala identiteter och tillskriven gruppattityd korrelerar med egen attityd. Tvåhundrasextiofyra personer (N=264) deltog i studien genom en digital enkät. Den statistThe aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between social identity and personal attitude towards climate-friendly behaviour and the climate crisis. More specifically, the aim was to investigate whether strong identification with seven different social identities and ascribed group attitude correlates with personal attitude. Two-hundred and sixty-four persons (N=264) participated

The expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric

Carmilla (1872) is a foundational gothic novella that explores female intimacy, monstrosity, and transgression within a patriarchal context. While widely recognized for its depiction of same-sex desire and subversion of Victorian gender norms, the story also reveals a deeper network of violence that sustains social and gendered hierarchies. However, critical attention has often focused more on Car

Kognitiva bias omfattar flertalet systematiska avvikelser från rationellt tänkande. Anchoring är ett sådant bias där människor tenderar att förlita sig för mycket på en initial siffra eller information i beslutsfattande eller bedömningar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka ankareffekten i allvarlighetsbedömningar av möjliga hotbilder mot Sveriges totalförsvar. Två hypoteser prövades: (1) AnCognitive biases encompass numerous systematic deviations from rational thinking. Anchoring is one such bias, where individuals tend to rely too heavily on an initial number or information when making decisions or judgements. The purpose of the following study was to examine the anchoring effect in severity assessments of potential threats towards Sweden’s total defence. The experiment tested two

This thesis examines how circular fashion services are made practically possible across physical and digital retail touchpoints. While circular retailing is often discussed as a strategic response to fashion’s sustainability problem, the availability of services such as repair, resale, care, and take-back does not automatically lead to participation. Drawing on social practice theory and the mater

The study is motivated by scarce studies examining ethics of international development solutions. Moreover it is common for the field to investigate minorities’, i.e., direct beneficiaries’, or international development field professionals’ views, when the general public perspectives are rarely present in the research. However, everyday citizens who contribute to the field through taxes and donati

This article examines the role of moral arguments in the delegitimation of transition policies. Previous research has highlighted attitudes and arguments that explain resistance against transition policies, including perceptions of unfairness; inefficiency and effectiveness; lack of trust; and ideology. This article provides further understanding of resistance to climate policies by zooming in on

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förpackningar finns nästan överallt! Ta en titt nästa gång du äter frukost – redan där på morgonen möter och hanterar du ett flertal olika livsmedelsförpackningar. De finns där även om du kanske inte tänker så mycket på dem, mer än när de är svåröppnade, svåra att hälla ur eller när de rent av läcker. Förpackningar har som jag ser det tre funktioner: de ska kunna skyddaPrevious research has argued that packaging has a great potential to contribute to sustainable development, but how to put this potential into practice is not yet fully explored. The theoretical foundation of the research presented is at the intersection of packaging logistics and sustainable development. This foundation was chosen because it offers established models that are well linked to the h

This paper deals with the question how urban crises – whether political, economic, financial, environmental or social – are defined, constructed, or discursively and materially appropriated by urban elites to serve their agendas of urban reform. Inspired by the work of Klein (2007), Smith (2005) and others, it will be argued that specific ‘emergency’ framings of urban decline, impoverishment, disa

This explorative cross-sectional study aims at exploring emotional distress, psychological profiles, and the attitude towards receiving psychological support in eighty-seven patients with chronic migraine (CM) undergoing OnabotulinumtoxinA prophylactic treatment (OBT-A, n = 40) or withdrawal treatment (WT, n = 47). The outcomes were explored through a specific battery of questionnaires. 25% of pat

This chapter provides a reassessment of the waste ‘crises’ in the so-called Land of Fires in Italy and highlights the contribution of local social mobilizations in advancing environmental justice and sustainability concerns. It is based on the long term collaboration between a social scientist and two activists, and it draws from a dialogue of academic and activist knowledge in the tradition of En

Purpose: The customer experience (CX), as revealed in the literature-based debate, has been variously viewed as either a driver or an outcome of customer-perceived value (CPV). However, the association of CPV, CX and word-of-mouth (WoM) behavior remains nebulous to date, thereby generating an important research gap. In response and to bridge this gap, this study aims to explore CX’s role in the CP

This paper contributes to the understanding of power structures in civil society by the exploring organizational connections of leaders holding multiple top-level leadership positions in resource-rich civil society organizations (CSOs) in Sweden. Based on unique association network data among national level CSOs collected in 2018, we discuss possible explanations behind the observed clusters of or

The question of how cooperation evolves and is maintained among nonkin is central to the biological, social, and behavioral sciences. Previous research has focused on explaining how cooperation in social dilemmas can be maintained by direct and indirect reciprocity among the participants of the social dilemma. However, in complex human societies, both modern and ancient, cooperation is frequently

Renegotiations: Body, Line, Ethics departs from questions concerning authorship and agency for actors in institutionalised settings and moves towards a discussion on ethics, responsibility and possibilities in the body – text relationship. The question of how bodies can be renegotiated in and by the theatrical line is central to the work. Against a backdrop of previous and other stage productions

In this publication we have assembled eight case studies and a ”national report” on Sweden that we wrote during 2005 as part of work commissioned by the European Foundation in Dublin. The Foundation had in the 1990’s and in the first years of the 21st  century as one of its objectives to investigate the situation for older and ageing workers in Europe, and to develop policy initiatives on the leve

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to adapt the Short Digital Stress Scale (SDSS) into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties in an adult population. Digital stress has become increasingly relevant with the widespread and continuous use of digital technologies, highlighting the need for valid and reliable instruments across cultural contexts.METHODS: A total of 276 adults (72.8% female, 2
