Belonging matters: A scoping review of survey instruments—prevalent measures and omissions
In recent decades, there has been an increasing focus on measuring and monitoring the subjective experiences of children and young people through surveys. Among the dimensions being measured is children and young people’s “school belonging”, referring to a feeling of being included, respected, valued, and accepted in school. This paper provides an overview of the multitude of survey instruments used to capture children and young people’s (0–25 y.…
The social and material connections of minority children and young people settled in Norway. A critical discourse review
Being connected to people and the world around them is fundamental for children’s wellbeing and development. Based on a critical discourse review, this study compares the connections of minority children settled in Norway with two bodies of literature: one addressing majority children settled in Norway, and one addressing minority children settled elsewhere in the world, especially in the US. The study shows that knowledge on children’s connectio…
Immigrant Children’s Connections to People and the World Around Them: A Critical Discourse Review of Academic Literature
A primary goal of the welfare state is to ensure that children and young people have a good upbringing and that families feel secure. However, several studies indicate that the risk of marginalisation and social exclusion increases, especially among children of low‐income and immigrant families. Why some children seem to be more loosely connected to people and the world around them is poorly understood. Based on a Foucauldian critical discourse r…
New Approaches to the Study of Social Inclusion of Poor Children and Youth

Does Proof of Concept Trump All? RRI Dilemmas in Research Practices
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is described as a new way of doing science that brings science closer to society. Based on a qualitatively oriented case study, this article supports previous research indicating that researchers face a variety of ethical problems and dilemmas when implementing RRI for the first time. These include difficulties with anticipating and controlling future impacts, an asymmetry of power between project partner…
User Involvement of People with Mild Disabilities in Technology Innovations: Does It Make a Difference
In this study, we explored the role of people with mild forms of visual, hearing, physical, and cognitive impairments in innovation processes. Our research questions are: do the product evaluations by people with mild disabilities differ from those given by people without reported disabilities? If so, how? The analysis is based on eight focus group interviews conducted in Norway in 2016, in which 60 participants were asked to evaluate 11 energy-e…
People with Disabilities: The Overlooked Consumers

This editorial briefly presents the topic and summarises the different articles published in the issue
Food security and food insecurity in Europe: An analysis of the academic discourse (1975–2013)
Studying Sustainable Change: From ABC to Practice
The Attitude-Behaviour-Choice (ABC) paradigm emphasizing the importance of individuals’ freedom of choice represents a dominant way of understanding the world and how the world is created that is routinely practised within all parts of society, including in social research on environmental change. In effect, alternative views that presumably have a greater potential to change society in a more sustainable direction are being suppressed. To move s…

This research analyzes if and how current PPPs combating obesity in Europe vary between Nordic social-democratic, conservative, liberal, Mediterranean, and East European regimes. It identifies main characteristics of PPPs focusing on cooperating partners, target groups, and objectives. Some variations between …

Perceptions of gambling in households – a case study from Norway
Drawing on a qualitative study of Norwegian households (couples and singles) with and without reported gambling problems, this article explores how household members perceive their own gambling. The research indicates that different households subscribe to different views of gambling. Whereas households without any reported gambling problems perceived gambling according to the market view, which suggests that gambling is like any other product on…
