  • Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Family Affluence Scale in Norwegian Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children Surveys

    Open AccessM BROOK, Tormod Bøe et al.ARTICLEChild Indicators Research2024Referências: 10

    This study assessed the applicability of the Family Affluence Scale II (FASII) for conducting time trend analysis within Norway's “Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children Study” (HBSC), spanning from 2002 to 2018. A dataset comprising 27,470 valid questionnaires was employed to assess the psychometric properties of the FASII with respect to validity and reliability for use at single- and multiple times points. The analytical approach encompassed…

  • Nordic adolescents responding to demanding survey scales in boring contexts

    Open AccessLeif Edvard Aarø, Anne‐Siri Fismen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2022

    INTRODUCTION: Straightlining, or identical responses across all items within a multi-item scale, is often taken as an indication that responses to all items in a questionnaire are of poor quality. The purpose of this study was to examine straightlining on two scales: The Sense of Unity Scale (SUS) and the short version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS). METHODS: Data stem from the 2017-2018 data collections in four Nordic…

  • Gamblers' use of measures to prevent gambling problems and reduce harm

    Open AccessJonny Engebø, Torbjorn Torsheim et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    In this study, the use of measures to control gambling were investigated. Data from gamblers ( N = 5,878) participating in a cross-sectional survey in 2019 based on random sampling from the Norwegian Population Registry, were analysed. The survey included questions about use of eight measures, which comprised the dependent variables. Questions about sociodemographics, gambling behaviour, gambling problems, self-reported impact from gambling adver…

  • The association between MPOWER tobacco control policies and adolescent smoking across 36 countries

    Open AccessMargreet De Looze, Margaretha E de Looze et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2022

    A decade after the introduction of the WHO MPOWER package, we observed that, in our sample of European countries and Canada, measures targeting social norms around smoking (i.e., smoke-free policies in public places and policies related to warning people about the dangers of tobacco) are most strongly related to declines in adolescent smoking

  • Regulatory Measures' Effect on Gambling Participation

    Open AccessJonny Engebø, Torbjorn Torsheim et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    The purpose of gambling regulation can be to ensure revenue for the public, to prevent crime and gambling problems. One regulatory measure involves restriction of what games can be offered in a market. In this study, the effects of two regulatory market changes are investigated: First, a restriction of availability when slot machines were banned from the Norwegian market in 2007, and second the introduction of regulated online interactive games t…

  • General and Alcohol-Related Social Media Use and Mental Health

    Open AccessEilin K Erevik, Ståle Pallesen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Mental…2020

    The current study aimed to investigate if general and alcohol-related social media use predicts symptoms of depression and anxiety. Students in Bergen, Norway, participated in a Web-based survey during fall 2015 (T1) and a follow-up survey during fall 2016 (T2). A total of 5217 participated in both surveys. Crude and adjusted linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate if social media use at T1 predicted depression and anxiety at T2.…

  • A Cross-National Analysis of the Psychometric Properties of the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory

    Open AccessHelge Molde, Inger Hilde Nordhus et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2019Referências: 2

    Although several items demonstrated relatively weak common variance with the general factor, the unidimensional structure remained strong even with these items retained. Thus, it is recommended that the GAI be administered using all items

  • National Child and Adolescent Health Policies as Indicators of Adolescent Mental Health

    Open AccessAnne M Hendriks, Meike Bartels et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence2019Citada por: 3Referências: 11

    There is little evidence on the association between child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) policies and adolescent mental health. This study examined this association using data on indicators of adolescent mental health—aggressive behavior, life satisfaction, and psychosomatic symptoms—in 172,829 eleven- to fifteen-year-olds from 30 European countries in the 2013-2014 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study. Individual records we…

  • Workaholism as a Mediator between Work-Related Stressors and Health Outcomes

    Open AccessCecilie Schou Andreassen, Cecilie Andreassen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    It is currently unknown if unfavorable working conditions, reflected by the demand-control-support model and the effort-reward imbalance model, directly influence health or if the effects may be mediated by work-related attitudes and behaviors such as workaholism. In the present study, 988 employees (55.6% males, mean age 36.09, SD = 9.23) from a large consultant firm participated in a cross-sectional survey assessing work variables such as job d…

  • The Happiest Kids on Earth. Gender Equality and Adolescent Life Satisfaction in Europe and North America

    Open AccessMargreet De Looze, Tim Huijts et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2018Citada por: 6Referências: 47

    Cross-national differences in adolescent life satisfaction in Europe and North America are consistent, but remain poorly understood. While previous studies have predominantly focused on the explanatory role of economic factors, such as national wealth and income equality, they revealed weak associations, at most. This study examines whether societal gender equality can explain the observed cross-national variability in adolescent life satisfactio…

  • Psychometric Validation of the Revised Family Affluence Scale

    Open AccessTorbjorn Torsheim, Franco Cavallo et al.ARTICLEChild Indicators Research2015Citada por: 36Referências: 8

    The aim was to develop and test a brief revised version of the family affluence scale. A total of 7120 students from Denmark, Greenland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Scotland and Slovakia reported on a list of 16 potential indicators of affluence. Responses were subject to item screening and test of dimensionality. Bifactor analysis revealed a strong general factor of affluence in all countries, but with additional specific factors in all coun…

  • The use of parental occupation in adolescent health surveys. An application of Isco-based measures of occupational status

    Timo‐kolja Pförtner, Sebastian Gunther et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2015Citada por: 4Referências: 44

    BACKGROUND: Recent research has emphasised that the challenge in researching socioeconomic differences in adolescent health cross-nationally lies in providing valid and comparable measures of socioeconomic position (SEP) across regions. This study aims to examine measures of occupational status derived from the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO), alongside commonly used affluence measures in association with adolescent se…

    A total of 11,018 employees participated in a survey investigating whether demographic, personality, and work-related variables could explain variance in attitudes towards and actual use of social network sites for personal purposes during working hours. Age was negatively related to both dependent variables. Male gender, single status, and education were positively associated with both dependent variables. Managers had negative attitudes to use,…

  • Family affluence and cultural capital as indicators of social inequalities in adolescent’s eating behaviours

    Open AccessAnne-Siri Fismen, Anne‐Siri Fismen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Material capital and cultural capital individually and independently contributed to the prediction of healthy eating patterns among adolescents in Norway. Cultural capital is an understudied dimension of the socio-economic status concept and the influence on health behaviour needs to be explored in future studies. Initiatives to promote healthy eating should focus on education, habits and consciousness of a healthy diet, but also at reducing the …
