Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The anthropology of knowledge (AoK) is a multi-disciplinary research orientation that deals with reproduction and change of human understanding in different types of social and cultural contexts. AoK sees understanding as located in a broad social naturalistic context and all types of understanding are studied: Western, non-Western, scientific, religious, and everyday. This is in contrast to much of the sociology of knowledge or science studies where mainly scientific or at least Western understanding is focused. Central disciplines in the AoK are social anthropology, psychology, and the cross-disciplinary research area of cognitive science. This text further describes the Anthropology of knowledge partly from the perspective of a specific concept of meaning that finds its intellectual neigbours in primarily in cognitive science but also in e.g., Gadamer's hermeneutics

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.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I detta kapitel beskrev vi först några klassiska, filosofiska minnesteorier. Därefter gick vi igenom forskning om olika former av minne hos djur. Klassisk betingning enligt Pavlov och instrumentell (operant) betingning enligt Thorndike och Skinner beskrevs, och Hebbs princip introducerades. Skillnaden mellan icke-associativt och associativt minne diskuterades kort. Kapitlet beskrev även olika aspekter av människans minne. Bland annat behandlades distinktionerna mellan explicit (medveten kontroll möjlig) och implicit (omedvetet reglerade minnesprocesser) minne och mellan prospektivt (handlar om framtiden) och retrospektivt (gäller det förflutna) minne. Därefter beskrevs korttidsminnet (håller en begränsad mängd information relativt lättillgänglig under en kortare stund) och arbetsminnet (inre struktur i korttidsminnet), för att sedan diskutera långtidsminnet (kan lagra information lång tid). Långtidsminnes struktur beskrevs i termer av den semantiska nätverksmodellen samt semantiskt (minne för sakförhållanden), episodiskt (upplevelseminne) och procedurellt (färdighetsminne) minne Långtidsminnets processer beskrevs bl. a i termer av minnescykeln som består av inkodning, lagring och framtagning (igenkänning eller återgivning). I detta sammanhang beskrevs också Tulving och Thomsons princip om specifik inkodning som betonar att likhet mellan inkodnings- och framtagningskontexten underlättar minnesaktivering. Kapitlet avslutades med en presentation av Jenkins minnesmodell som tar ett övergripande systemperspektiv på minnet.
