- The aim of this study was to examine closer the conflicting results from previous studies concerning the relation- ship between Facebook use and self-esteem using the Facebook Intensity Scale and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (N = 107). In line with some previous studies, our data confirmed that there is a relationship between Facebook usage and self-esteem, but the applied scales allowed a more refined assessment of it. The results showed, after controlling for demographic variables, that participants with low Facebook intensity reported on average higher self-esteem than those who did not use Facebook or those with high Facebook intensity, while those with medium Facebook intensity had significantly higher self-esteem compared to the participants with high Facebook intensity. Future studies should address the underlying causal relations using a time-bound observation method.

Political campaigning 2.0 : The influence of online news and social networking sites on attitudes and behavior
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aimed to examine differences in influence between online news (e.g., New York Times) and social networking sites (e.g., Facebook and Twitter) on attitudes in political campaigns. In a web-based experiment, campaign, polls and election between two fictitious candidates were simulated. Participants’ explicit and implicit attitudes as well as voting behavior were assessed using self-report items and the Implicit Association Test (IAT). The results reveal that information emanating from online news had a significant influence on explicit and implicit attitudes while that of social networking sites did not. Overall, negative items had a stronger impact than positive ones, more so in online news compared to social networking sites. Negative information from either type of media was more likely to change participants’ explicit attitudes in a negative direction and as a consequence also change their vote. Practical implications of the findings and limitations of the study are discussed.

Positive but skeptical : A study of attitudes towards Internet voting in Sweden
- 2015

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explored the attitudes of a broad sample of politically interested Swedish voters towards Internet voting. A total of 5683 participants completed a web-based survey concerning participation and security aspects of Internet voting. Attitudes towards Internet voting were positive on the whole and the acceptance of participation in democratic elections using Internet voting was spearheaded by: women, groups with relatively short education, the unemployed and the self-employed. Unlike previous studies, it was found that age was not a significant factor in determining the attitudes towards participation in elections by means of Internet voting. Concerning the security challenges of Internet voting, men were more optimistic than women and participants’ confidence in security increased with age and education length.

Social media affordances in net-based higher education
- 2011

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the attitudes, conceptions and use of social media in net-based higher education. By using statistical and content analysis of data generated by two surveys directed to students (n = 109) and teachers (n = 77) involved in net-based higher education, we explore how social media influence the design of learning context in net-based higher education courses. By applying the affordance theory, we describe actual as well as preferred use of social media from an educational, social, and technical perspectives. The results showed that the potential use of social media have not yet been fully found in the context of net-based higher education. However, the perceived benefit of using social media differs in relation to educational topics. The potential use of social media in net-based higher education courses is discussed.

Luften så klar : Nordeuropeiska konstnärer och författare i Rom 1780-1950
- 2020
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ”Även å den ödsligaste och osundaste sidan av Campagna di Roma, den åt Ostia till, […] är luften så klar, att den i de skarpaste drag visar de fjärmaste föremål. De förtrollande konturerna och perspektiven det veka smältande fjärran det harmoniskt rödaktiga i luften, som utbreder sig över alla föremål vid solens upp- och nedgång…” (Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom minns sin resa till Italien 1817–19)Konstnärer, författare och andra kulturpersonligheter i norra Europa har längtat till Italien åtminstone från Goethe och framåt. Denna essäsamling ger ett brett perspektiv på den nordeuropeiska Italienbilden från sent 1700-tal till mitten av 1900-talet. Vi får följa såväl Goethe som H.C. Andersen och Georg Brandes på deras italienska resor, uppleva poeten John Keats sista dagar, se arbeten av målarna Gustaf Söderberg, Gustaf Wilhelm Palm, Carl August Ehrensvärd och Louis Masreliez, delta i salonger med aktrisen Emilie Högqvist, studera Colosseum genom arkitekten Gustaf af Sillén, höra romerska visor av Evert Taube och leva oss in i Percy Bysshe Shelleys dramatik, ta del av Selma Lagerlöfs förundran och August Strindbergs frustration.Sammantaget visar Luften så klar att den nordeuropeiska traditionen av Italienskildringar inte är så ensidigt romantiserande som historien vill göra gällande, utan i själva verket rymmer en stor komplexitet.Författarna är konst-, teater- och litteraturvetare verksamma i Sverige och Danmark.

How do children and adolescents of separated parents sleep? : An investigation of custody arrangements, sleep habits, sleep problems, and sleep duration in Sweden
- 2021

Ingår i: Sleep Health. - : Elsevier. - 2352-7218 .- 2352-7226. ; 7:6, s. 716-722

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objectives: An increasing number of children and adolescents divide their time between their separated parents' homes. Although marital conflict is disadvantageous for children's sleep, little is known about how children of separated parents sleep. The objective was to investigate the association between children's cus-tody arrangements and sleep habits and sleep initiation difficulties. Design: Cross sectional nationally representative samples of adolescents from the WHO study Health Behav-iour in School-aged Children (HBSC) (n = 11,802). Setting: Sweden in 2013/2014 and 2017/2018. Participants: Adolescents in grades 5, 7, and 9 from Swedish compulsory comprehensive school. Measurements: The survey included questions on sleep behaviors including bedtime, wake-up time and fre-quency of sleep onset problems. The analysis methods used were ordinary least squares and logistic regression. Results: The results show differences by custody arrangement, but they are not uniform across the dependent variables. Children and adolescents in sole maternal custody were less likely to sleep as much as recommended (P < .001), more likely to have late bedtimes (P < .001), report sleep initiation difficulties (P < .01) and to report social jetlag between school mornings and weekends (P < .05) compared to those in 2-parent families. Shared physical custody was associated with a higher likelihood of late bedtimes (P < .05) and sleep initiation difficulties (P < .05) compared to those in 2-parent families, but not of sleeping less than recommended or reporting social jetlag. Less-than-equal sharing was generally associated with worse sleep than in 2-parent families. Conclusions: As custody arrangements seem to be associated with sleep, it is important to understand the mechanisms behind the findings.
