A system for a computer-based content analysis of interview data
- 1976
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Content analysis based on frequency distributions differs from impressionistic analysis and interpretations of written or spoken text. This type of analysis is objective insofar as it requires an explicit analysis procedure and a formalised analysis. Objectification means that a person transfers certain typical human functions to objects, i.e., tools, and that machines are developed that can carry out functions that were originally subjective. In this respect the development of a Computer-based Content Analysis (CCA) is an attempt to objectify the method of content analysis.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A simulation model is presented, which has been constructed in such a way that the trainee gets control over the context of her actions. Three types of simulated action-event-sequences are presented in an inductive way. The aim is to demonstrate the texture of the simulation process. It is shown that visualised as well as verbalised information has to be processed in a cooperative manner in order to abstract the ecological invariants in the flow of the simulation process. Three analyses are reported, which show the extent to which the trainee becomes conscious of the structural strands lying in the texture of the illustrated simulation process. That higher-order components are to be found in the texture of the context is reflected in the course of actions taken.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dominating property of the present report concerns an approach, which is exclusively based on discontinuities as the reliable observations. In what way the presentation is designed and the main assumptions are formulated is described within an ecological context. Furthermore, a system of computer programs constitutes the background for reflection. A perspective, oriented on the environment, is extricated through effective evolutionary processes, bifurcation, and loss of stability. With the achieved results, it is demonstrated that various context dependent structures and sub-structures have been differentiated and established. Finally, in its dealing with problems of complexity, the significance of the ecological approach has been made evident with the aid of model-oriented and topological expressed references to the well-known “Visual Cliff” experiments.

Evolution of growth in the development of competence
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The article presents the third study of a series that has been designed to manifest consciousness and to measure developed competence. The emphasis of the main hypothesis has been put on the student’s ability to adapt to the main idea of a given story and to express his comprehension verbally. In what way the two students of the previous two experiments have been able to accomplish the experimental task, is reflected in the state attractors of the produced fitness landscapes. The student, who has continued to follow the analytic-descriptive approach, has focussed on the conditions relating to a critic of empiricism. Since it has been shown that the process of naming the resulting state attractors provides a sound theoretical basis, it can be concluded that the student has not been conscious of this purpose and consequently been unable to abstract the criticism of empiricism. In contrast, the other student has continued to follow the synthetic-reflective approach. The produced narrative has made evident that this student has been able to abstract the criticism of idealism. It follows that the proper outcome is “rationalism“, which is validating that the degree of developed competence can be approached in a direct and obvious manner.

Heterogeneity in the apprehension of adaptation and justice
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present report is about the fourth experiment in a series of five. This series concerns a longitudinal study of changing shapes of mind. Based on the assumption that mind is an emergent property of the processes that produce natural language expressions, mental development is discoverable through the Agent-action-Objective (AaO) mechanisms. The present study is focussing on the way in which the evolutionnary process of text production portrays the system of thought that holds that human fitness can be explained on the basis of progressive adaptation. In what way this idea has been apprehended from Strindberg’s drama play (Miss Julie) and to what degree it has been embodied into the students’ discour¬se, has been studied in the natural context of an educational program. The mediated struc¬tu¬res show a clear-cut result. It is the individual perspective that has emerged out of the verbal flow. In one perspective appears the social aspect of the play, while the natura¬listic aspect is dominating the other. This result confirms previously made observations: The social aspect pertains to a descriptive dimension. The extraction of the naturalistic aspect has been shown to be dependent on a reflective dimension.

Individual growth in competence
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article presents the second study in a series that has been designed to manifest the emergence of consciousness and to measure developed competence. Its major aim has been to demonstrate that an invariant formulation of the Agent-action-Objective model and an analysis of its A-O kinematics have the capacity to re-produce contour similarity over time. Within the studied evolutionary-developmental context, the bio-kinematics of the discove¬red AaO-mechanism has governed the synthesising of information. It has been possible to demonstrate variations in growth as changes in complexity. When the two participating students are compared, differences in their perspectivation, and consequently in their attractor spaces, become apparent. Based on coordinated structural invariants, it has been possible to show that the convoluted spaces of the student, who has followed the analytic-descriptive approach, is concerned with the concrete level of the tested story. On the other hand, the student, who is following a synthetic-reflective strategy, seems to concentrate mainly on the symbolic level. Thus, from the developmental point of view, it has been possible to demonstrate that the AaO-mechanism is tracing embodied growth, which becomes manifest in the differences of the students’ ability to adapt to the main idea of the given story.

Intuitive judgement in the context of constructivism
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the fifth and last experiment in a longitudinal study of text building behaviour at the Gymnasium level of a Swedish School. The series of experiments concerns natural language production as a means for the establishment of state attractors as well as their geometric space descriptions. The hypothesis tested during three years of instruction and learning is whether the evolving attractors pertain to a descriptive dimension (analytic sensibility) or to a reflective dimension (synthetic sensibility). In the present context, it has been anticipated that a text on a utopian society can be used for the purpose to show that the produced space descriptions concern the general principles of reason. On the basis of the written responses to Huxley’s “Brave New World”, it is demonstrated that analytic sensibility results in state attractors, which are manifesting a focus on the dimension of right or wrong. In contrast, synthetic sensibility appears to be a source for the emergence of state attractors that concern the effects of an extreme utilisation of humans.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- To an ever-increasing extent, in scientific investigations of various kinds are data collected, which consists of verbal expressions. They may have been generated through verbal presentations, personal interviews, open questions or written accounts. Therefore, it is not unusual that an investigator is confronted with data collections that appear to be “unstructured” and of an extent that it seems to be an insurmountable task to extract the information content with so-called informal methods, like content analysis. However, those difficulties can be bridged over with a discussion of the function of language. But this would require a stance on a strategy that can cope with the cognitive ability of the individual information provider, i.e., to express an idea or an opinion, without loosing in formal capacity and stringency.

Sustainability of authenticity
- 2005
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Design is the concept of fashion. This article is focusing on the notion that there is one ideal design of society. The search for ideal solutions of societal problems has been the habit of utopianism. With the purpose to clarify how a student understands prescription and the design of a perfect society, a discourse on Huxley’s ”Brave New World” is studied. The student as text producer is expected to communicate a particular intention and orientation, since certain viewpoints are chosen and expressed intentionally. Intention presupposes that a particular perspective must be present throughout text production. The presented approach is founded on the controlling [AaO] function of text production and implies a two-fold and complementary description of the underlying structures. These structures reflect noticeable invariance, which demonstrates that certain regions in the state spaces of the produced discourse can be manifested through the realisation of multiple trajectories. Their distinctiveness provides the condition for a relational treatment of autonomously developing landscapes of information synthesis. Concerning the constraining impact of Huxley’s utopian society on the emergent state attractors, it is shown that the termini of the attractors support information structures, which are coherent with an understanding of the emerging critical factors of disorder.
