The importance of skin area and gender in ticklishness
The importance of skin area and gender in ticklishness was explored in the present study. No previous report has been published on stimulation of the body surface exposed when dressed in a swimsuit (supine and prone positions), and the use of a feather has not been reported before. Fifty‐seven university students volunteered (female N = 26, age range: 19–25, mean = 22.4; male N = 31, age range: 20–26, mean = 23.1). Sessions were videotaped for sc…
A 15-Year Follow-Up Study of Sense of Humor and Causes of Mortality
BACKGROUND: Associations between the sense of humor and survival in relation to specific diseases has so far never been studied. METHODS: We conducted a 15-year follow-up study of 53,556 participants in the population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, Norway. Cognitive, social, and affective components of the sense of humor were obtained, and associations with all-cause mortality, mortality due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), infections, cance…
Hearing Impairment, Sense of Humour and Communication Strategies
One purpose of this study was to describe sense of humour and communication strategies in a general population of adults who needed hearing aid (HA) fitting or refitting. Another purpose was to explore the correlation between characteristics of hearing impairment (HI), sense of humour, and other participant characteristics and the communication strategies as outcome. Consecutive patients ( n =343) at the Department of Audiology during 1 year comp…

The prevalence of sense of humor in a large, unselected county population in Norway
Article The prevalence of sense of humor in a large, unselected county population in Norway: Relations with age, sex, and some health indicators was published on March 3, 2004 in the journal HUMOR (volume 17, issue 1-2)
Fatigue and patterns of pain in fibromyalgia
This study explored the prevalence of fibromyalgia, the relationship of anxiety and depression with two major symptoms (pain and fatigue), and the role of co‐morbidity. Participants were recruited from the Nord‐Trøndelag Health Study (The HUNT Study) in Norway ( N = 92 936). They were females given the diagnosis of fibromyalgia by their doctor ( N = 1 816), divided into one sample without ( N = 977) and another with ( N = 839) co‐morbidity. Owing…
Quality of life, functional disability and lifestyle among subgroups of fibromyalgia patients
This study explored the significance of anxiety and depression in quality of life, functional disability and lifestyle among fibromyalgia patients. Functional disability was defined by subjective work ability and activity‐related discomfort. Lifestyle reflected habits of physical activity, regularity of meals, smoking and patterns of drinking coffee and alcohol. Members of two county divisions of fibromyalgia patients (N = 322)were investigated. …
The role of anxiety and depression in fatigue and patterns of pain among subgroups of fibromyalgia patients
This study explored the relationship of anxiety and depression with two major symptoms of fibromyalgia, pain and fatigue, among fibromyalgia patients ( N = 322). Due to collinearity between anxiety and depression scores, extreme groups were defined according to high versus low anxiety and depression scores. Two‐thirds of the initial sample were excluded by this approach, which permitted a two by two factorial split‐plot ANOVA for the assessment o…

Low vagal activity as mediating mechanism for the relationship between personality factors and gastric symptoms in functional dyspepsia
Low vagal tone may represent a mediating mechanism for relationships between personality and symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD) through a mechanism of antral hypomotility. Twenty-one patients with FD and seventeen healthy controls completed a series of personality tests before vagal and sympathetic activity, antral motility, and abdominal symptoms were assessed in response to a laboratory task. Functional dyspepsia patients had lower scores on…
Low vagal tone and antral dysmotility in patients with functional dyspepsia
Effects of acute mental stress on gastric antral motility were investigated in 23 healthy persons and 25 patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). Real-time ultrasonography of gastric antrum was recorded, after ingestion of 500 ml meat soup, during a 4-min resting period, 2.5 min of mental stress, and a 4-min recovery period. Amplitude of antral contractions was scored as a fraction of relaxed area. Motility-index was calculated as the amplitude m…
Metamotivational dominance
The effect of a threatening context upon motivation and task‐induced physiological changes
The effect of a threatening context upon tonic task‐induced physiological changes was tested in an experiment where 14 male subjects performed a continuous perceptual motor task for 150 seconds, once with and once without threat of aversive electric shock (counterbalanced order). Results indicated that task‐irrelevant muscular tension increased and skin temperature decreased over the course of a task, and these gradients were steeper with threat …
