“Back to the Future”
Routine Outcome Monitoring systems have been developed to monitor how clients' lives change over the course of therapy. However, for such systems to be effective, they must possess sufficient construct validity and scale-reliability to warrant their use. In this study, using a sample of 841 Norwegian clients, we performed the first independent test of the construct validity and scale-reliability of the "Individual Problems and Strengths" (IPS) sc…
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale Short Form
Difficulties in emotion regulation lie at the core of many mental health challenges. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale Short Form (DERS‐SF) is a widely used tool for measuring such difficulties. Although it has been translated into several languages and validated across various countries worldwide, its psychometric properties have not been thoroughly examined in Scandinavian populations. This study aimed to replicate the original multi…
Cohabitation, Marriage, and Union Dissolution in Norway
Background:\nFew studies have examined dissolution rates among cohabitating and married couples, using prospective data.\n\nObjective:\nThe main aim was to examine trends in living arrangements and dissolution rates among married and cohabiting couples in Norway.\n\nMethod:\nAnalysis of Norwegian longitudinal cohort data of 168,636 newly formed couples. Dissolution rates and relative risk were assessed at maximum 14 years of follow-up.\n\nResults…
Same-sex Marriage Over 26 Years
The trends in marriage and divorce among male and female same-sex couples in urban and rural Norway were compared to different-sex marriages. Norway legalized same-sex living in 1993 and marriage in 2009. Cohorts from 1993 to 2018 were included. The 2009 gender-neutral marriage law appears to have had minimal impact on the rate of same-sex unions and divorces. Moreover, divorce risks are highest in female same-sex marriages, whereas male same-sex…
Understanding Divorce Trends and Risks
Divorces have become common, but reliable longer-run historical data with several years of follow-up are scarce. This study investigates divorce trends and divorce risk based on prospective data for all Norwegian different-sex marriages formed from 1886–2018, with yearly follow-up continuing until 60 years after the wedding (N = 2.7 million). First marriages and remarriages are investigated separately, as are marriages in rural and urban areas. T…
Divorce and Remarriage in Norway
As the population of divorced adults has increased, the number of remarriages has followed. Previous research has mainly compared first-time marriages with remarriages, whereas this study analyzes 4 different constellations of marriages: first time for both spouses, first time for one and second time for the other, second time for both, and third time or more for at least one member of the couple. The analyses are based on data from all Norwegian…
