Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study investigated conceptions of decision quality and efficiency held by administrative officers from three Swedish public authorities (the Tax Board, the Social Insurance Agency, and the Police Authority) with respect to decisions made for other people. Research on conceptions of decision quality held by decision makers making decisions for themselves shows that decision outcome is emphasized. In contrast, the participants emphasized aspects relating to the communication step in the decision process as relevant for decision quality. This relates to the accountability aspect of decision making. Differences among the three organizations indicate the importance of domain-specific aspects.

Culture, language, identity and the properties of a useful culture concept for the indigenous psychologies.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Cultures are expressed in language and the mapping relation between language and culture is argued to be one-to-many. Accordingly, a language such as Spanish can be used to express many different cultures, including contents that are in explicit contradiction. By attending to the diversity in understanding in a society social interventions can be better tailored to specific groups of people in that society. Thus, a culture concept that emphasizes the diversity in the understanding of people in the indigenous psychology (IP) researcher’s society is likely to be helpful for social interventions in different groups of that society. This, in contrast to a culture concept that focuses mostly on whatever understanding is shared and inherited from previous generations in the society. I also argue that it should be recognized that members of a culture have different conceptions of their culture’s identity and that these conceptions are changing as they are constructed over time.

Decision making.
- 2013

In: In K. Keith (Ed.), The encyclopedia of cross-cultural psychology. - Chichester, UK : John Wiley & Sons, Inc. - 9781118339893
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The ability to make decisions is often assumed to be something that distinguishes humans from the rest of nature. Decision making occurs in many forms, and the decisionmaking task can be more or less complex, well-defined, and new to the decision maker. Moreover, decision making, in addition to actually choosing an alternative, usually includes constructing or activating decision alternatives. In this entry, taking a cross-cultural perspective on decision making, the focus is mainly on complex decision making.

Decision making styles and stress.
- 2012
-
In: International Journal of Stress Management. - : American Psychological Association (APA). - 1072-5245 .- 1573-3424. ; 19:1, s. 34-47
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study analyzed the relationship between each of five decision-making styles, including Rational, Intuitive, Dependent, Avoidant, and Spontaneous (Scott & Bruce, 1995) and two indicators of stress, Perceived stress and Sleep quality, among administrative officers and investigators at three Swedish public authorities: The National Tax board, the Social Insurance agency, and the Police authority (n 472). Results showed that Avoidant style and, to some extent, the Dependent style were significantly associated with higher Perceived Stress and poorer Sleep. The results for the specific organizations showed that the Rational style was advantageous at the Tax board only.

Den kvalitativa ansatsens plats i vetenskapsteorin.
- 2021

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Kapitlet behandlar relationen mellan kvalitativ ansats och olika vetenskapsfilosofiska strömningar i vetenskapsteori. Först beskrivs, kort, som bakgrund, positivism, fenomenologi, hermeneutik och social konstruktionism. Eftersom det finns olika åsikter bland kvalitativa forskare om vad den kvalitativa ansatsen innebär och det finns stora skillnader mellan olika kvalitativa ansatser blir frågor om hur den kvalitativ ansatsen relaterar till vetenskapsteori komplicerade att besvara. Olika varianter på kvalitativ ansats kan antas ha olika relation till olika skolor i vetenskapsteori. Vissa kvalitativa forskare har menat att det finns enkla och tydliga kopplingar mellan kvalitativ ansats och specifika vetenskapsfilosofier men många kvalitativa forskare menar att det inte föreligger några nödvändiga kopplingar mellan kvalitativa ansatser och vetenskapsfilosofiska skolor. Vissa kvalitativa forskare har även sett kvalitativ ansats som en vetenskapsfilosofi i sig själv som står i kontrast till en kvantitativ ansats. Kapitlet behandlar olika problem och svagheter med ett sådant förhållningssätt. En slutsats i kapitlet är att det, trots ovan beskrivna förhållanden, verkar rimligt att hävda att vissa specifika kvalitativa forskningsmetoder ligger nära den ena eller den andra vetenskapsfilosofin, eller har tydliga inslag av en, eller flera, vetenkapsfilosofier (t ex att Giorgis fenomenologiska empiriska forskningsmetod och fenomenografi har en klar koppling till fenomenologi). Till sist: i allmänhet anses forskningsfrågan vara det som bör styra hur forskningen genomförs. Därför är det ofta, till exempel i praktiskt tillämpade sammanhang, mer framgångsrikt att inte exakt följa en viss forskningsansats. Att istället kombinera inslag från olika forskningsansatser utifrån forskningsproblemets krav och sammanhang kan leda till mer användbara resultat.
