Barriers to employment
The findings highlight the substantial health challenges faced by refugees and their impact on labor market integration. Strengthening healthcare support and integrating health-promoting activities within the NIP may enhance refugees' ability to participate in the workforce and improve their economic outcomes. Addressing both mental and physical health burdens early in the integration process may support long-term employment and successful social…
Deviating From Agentic Norms is Negatively Related to Young Men’s Well-Being and Satisfaction With Life
As deviating from ingroup norms can have negative consequences, we predicted that failing to meet perceived masculine norms would be associated with lower well-being and satisfaction with life for young men. We chose two countries that differed in the rigidity of gender norms (i.e., Norway and Poland) and conducted two cross-sectional, cross-national studies to test these hypotheses: an exploratory pilot study (Study 1) and a main study with prer…
Adolescents’ Collective Action Intentions for Gender Equality in Norway and Poland
This study examined the role of gender identification and perceived gender discrimination on collective action intentions for gender equality among adolescent boys and girls in two countries with different levels of gender equality: Poland and Norway. Additionally, we explored the mediating role of well‐being, which has been shown to be associated positively with gender identity and negatively with perceived discrimination. Utilising data from 15…
The role of gender, stress, and social support in parents' pandemic well‐being
Mapping the well‐being of Norwegian mothers during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
The COVID‐19 pandemic had negative effects on many people's well‐being and quality of life. In the present work, we focused on Norwegian mothers with elementary school children, and investigated whether their well‐being, stress, and worries (and the relationships between them) changed across the early months of the pandemic. We collected data at two time points in 2020. In June 2020, 231 mothers (mean age = 40.09, SD = 6.22) responded to an onlin…
What do I want to be? Predictors of communal occupational aspirations in early to middle childhood
Research investigating occupational aspirations in childhood is scarce. In addition, most research on occupational aspirations has focused on increasing the number of women in agentic jobs. In the present work, we investigate factors associated with communal occupational aspirations in two studies with young children (Study 1: 159 children [84 boys, 75 girls], M age = 5.51 years, SD = 0.37; Study 2: 96 children [48 boys, 48 girls]; M age = 9.44 y…
Mothers’ Domestic Responsibilities and Well-Being During the Covid-19 Lockdown
The present work investigates how the increased domestic responsibilities created by the Spring 2020 lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway and gender ideologies relate to the well-being of mothers with elementary school children. In June 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional online study including current and retrospective measures with 180 mothers ( M age = 39.96 years, SD = 6.11) of elementary school children across Norway. First, in line …
