Concurrent decline in teenage fertility rate and binge drinking? An observational study across 45 nations
Work-related Alcohol Use
Drinking alcohol with co-workers is a common practice in many countries. However, because consumption of alcohol is socially unaccepted in several religious groups, the use of alcohol in an occupational context may be discriminatory and have negative side-effects. In annual surveys of part- and fulltime employees in Norway conducted between 2015 and 2022, we found that employees affiliated with religious minorities more often experienced social e…
Alcohol‐related sexual harassment in the workplace
Sports participation and alcohol use revisited
INTRODUCTION: Recent developments in health behavior among adolescents may have been accompanied by changes in risk factors for alcohol use. Focusing on postmillennial cohorts of adolescents, we revisit the question of whether sports participation is a risk factor for alcohol use. METHOD: This study analyses data from four waves (2017-2020) of the MyLife longitudinal study. Participants were 3425 (45% boys) Norwegian adolescents attending middle …
Are changes in binge drinking among European adolescents driven by changes in computer gaming
When 2 + 2 should be 5
Predictions of time (e.g., work hours) are often based on the aggregation of estimates of elements (e.g., activities and subtasks). The only types of estimates that can be safely aggregated by summation are those reflecting predicted average outcomes (expected values). The sums of other types of estimates, such as bounds of confidence intervals or estimates of the mode, do not have the same interpretation as their components (e.g., the sum of the…
Work-Related Alcohol Use and Harm to Others
Background Drinking alcohol with coworkers is a common practice in many occupational cultures. This practice may produce negative consequences for some employees. Objectives: We estimate the prevalence of a set of negative consequences of work-related alcohol use and identify risk factors associated with experience of harm from coworkers' drinking. Methods: In an online survey, Norwegian employees (n = 3596) aged 20–69 reported whether they had e…
Standardised snus packaging reduces brand differentiation
Even in cases where standardised tobacco packaging appears to have little overall effect on the valence of the average ratings, it can have a strong effect on the variability of the ratings. This suggests that standardised packaging can reduce the potential for brand differentiation
Alcohol-related absence and presenteeism
Overlap in attitudes to policy measures on alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs
Partipreferanser og holdninger til alkoholpolitikk - Party preferences and attitudes towards alcohol policy
Does it matter how you ask? The forbid–allow asymmetry in the measurement of attitudes towards drug policies
Mental States of Addiction
An increasing number of studies have examined lay meanings of addiction. The purpose of this study was to explore whether a generalized conception of an addiction mind-set was evident in the beliefs of a sample of 1,062 Norwegian adults responding to an online survey. The respondents were given a rating task in the following form: “Addiction to [substance/behavior] is/represents [descriptive term].” For each of the nine different addictive behavi…
Do disgusting and fearful anti-smoking advertisements increase or decrease support for tobacco control policies
The distribution and role of causal beliefs, inferences of responsibility, and moral emotions on willingness to help addicts among Norwegian adults
The purpose of this study was to explore the distribution and role of causal beliefs, inferences of responsibility, and moral emotions on deservingness of help to addicts among Norwegian adults using the social motivational model of Weiner. The data derives from a web panel survey of Norwegian adults aged 20 to 69 years (N = 1062, response rate 67%) in 2011. They responded to a questionnaire tapping into the above measures for nine different addi…
From origami to software development
This article provides an integrative review of the literature on judgment-based predictions of performance time, often described as task duration predictions in psychology and as expert-based effort estimation in engineering and management science. We summarize results on the characteristics of performance time predictions, processes and strategies, the influence of task characteristics and contextual factors, and the relations between estimates …
