Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objectives. To validate the concurrent validity of COPSOQ II (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire), a work environment questionnaire translated into >25 languages. Methods. Electronic questionnaire sent to all public dentistry staff in four Swedish regions (response rate of 75%; n = 1345). Twenty‐two scales from COPSOQ II, complemented by the Utrecht Work Engagement scale, were mapped onto a hypothesized double mediated model based on the Job‐Demand‐Resources (JD‐R) Model with workability as outcome. The model was tested using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results. The theoretical model fit the data well (RMSEA 0.060; CFI 0.925, TLI 0.913, χ2 1543.81; df 281; p < 0.001). The effect of leadership resources on workability was mediated through other kind of job resources and demands, and from these through strain symptoms and positive work‐related outcomes. Conclusion. The concurrent validity of the scales was corroborated and the results support the use of COPSOQ II for research and workplace risk assessment.

Mother and father socially desirable responding in nine countries : Two kinds of agreement and relations to parenting self-reports
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We assessed 2 forms of agreement between mothers’ and fathers’ socially desirable responding in China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand and the United States (N = 1110 families). Mothers and fathers in all 9 countries reported socially desirable responding in the upper half of the distribution, and countries varied minimally (but China was higher than the cross-country grand mean and Sweden lower). Mothers and fathers did not differ in reported levels of socially desirable responding, and mothers’ and fathers’ socially desirable responding were largely uncorrelated. With one exception, mothers’ and fathers’ socially desirable responding were similarly correlated with self-perceptions of parenting, and correlations varied somewhat across countries. These findings are set in a discussion of socially desirable responding, cultural psychology and family systems.

Meanings Turkish people perceive in everyday occupations: Factor structure of Turkish OVal-pd
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Occupational value with predefined items scale is an originally 26-item Swedish tool used to assess values people find in their everyday doings. The present study validated this scale on a Turkish sample and described the values that Turks perceived in their daily doings. The participants included a convenience sample of 446 adults with mean age 26 (SD = 7.3). Initial item analysis followed by principal component analysis (Promax) and internal reliability analyses of the components were conducted. Statistics yielded a 19-item solution distributed across four factors. The Cronbach's alpha was .86, indicating good reliability. Confirming the earlier applications of the scale in the European and the American samples, factors related to recuperation, goal direction and social interaction emerged. Additionally, there appeared another occupational value subfactor, conservation, which did not show up in the Swedish and the American data analyses.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Understanding Groups and Leader (UGL), provided by the Swedish National Defence College, is one of the most popular management programs among civilians in Sweden. We mapped important markers of empowerment and self-awareness among UGL-coaches in relation to their affective profiles. UGL-coaches (N = 153) and Swedish Chiefs of Police (N = 104) completed an online survey comprising affect, optimism, self-esteem, and locus of control. Self-reported positive (PA) and negative affect (NA) were used to categorize participants in four profiles: self-fulfilling (high PA, low NA), high affective (high PA, high NA), low affective (low PA, low NA), and self-destructive (low PA, high NA). The self-fulfilling profile was more common among UGL-trainers (25.70% compared to 19.20% among Chiefs of Police). Moreover, UGL-coaches with a self-fulfilling profile scored higher in optimism and self-esteem and lower in external locus of control. This suggest a higher probability of self-fulfillment, and thereby empowerment and self-awareness, among UGL-coaches.

Mothers', fathers' and children's perceptions of parents' expectations about children's family obligations in nine countries.
- 2016

Ingår i: International Journal of Psychology. - : Wiley. - 0020-7594 .- 1464-066X. ; 51:5, s. 366-374
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Children's family obligations involve assistance and respect that children are expected to provide to immediate and extended family members and reflect beliefs related to family life that may differ across cultural groups. Mothers, fathers and children (N = 1432 families) in 13 cultural groups in 9 countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand and United States) reported on their expectations regarding children's family obligations and parenting attitudes and behaviours. Within families, mothers and fathers had more concordant expectations regarding children's family obligations than did parents and children. Parenting behaviours that were warmer, less neglectful and more controlling as well as parenting attitudes that were more authoritarian were related to higher expectations regarding children's family obligations between families within cultures as well as between cultures. These international findings advance understanding of children's family obligations by contextualising them both within families and across a number of diverse cultural groups in 9 countries.

Sex differences in personality are larger in gender equal countries : Replicating and extending a surprising finding.
- 2019

Ingår i: International Journal of Psychology. - : Wiley. - 0020-7594 .- 1464-066X. ; 54:6, s. 705-711

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sex differences in personality have been shown to be larger in more gender equal countries. We advance this research by using an extensive personality measure, the IPIP-NEO-120, with large country samples (N > 1000), from 22 countries. Furthermore, to capture the multidimensionality of personality we measure sex differences with a multivariate effect size (Mahalanobis distance D). Results indicate that past research, using univariate measures of effect size, have underestimated the size of between-country sex differences in personality. Confirming past research, there was a strong correlation (r = .69) between a country's sex differences in personality and their Gender Equality Index. Additional analyses showed that women typically score higher than men on all five trait factors (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness), and that these relative differences are larger in more gender equal countries. We speculate that as gender equality increases both men and women gravitate towards their traditional gender roles.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this study was to analyse the reliability and validity of a cyberbullying behaviour questionnaire (CBQ) in working life. Further aim was to analyse the reliability and validity of a short version of a cyberbullying behaviour questionnaire (CBQ‐S) in working life. Altogether 3 371 working adults in Sweden, and 238 in the USA participated in the study. The results of the confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) showed that the one‐factor CFA model had an excellent fit to data, and Cronbach's alpha indicates that both scales are reliable. In addition, the convergent validity of the scales was demonstrated by significant correlations with the following theoretically relevant concepts: wellbeing, work engagement and intention to quit. The results of the study support the use of the CBQ and CBQ‐S as reliable and valid measures of cyberbullying behaviour in working life.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study examined the prevalence of gender harassment and it's associations to different organisational factors, ill‐health and job satisfaction among university teachers and researchers in Southern Sweden. Altogether 322 participants, 186 women and 136 men, responded to a web questionnaire. The results showed that gender harassment was more prevalent among women than men, and among senior lecturers and professors than lecturers. Gender harassment was associated with high job demands, less fair leadership style of the immediate manager, and job dissatisfaction for both women and men. For women, there was also an association between gender harassment, ill‐health and gender of the immediate manager. For men, poorer social organisational climate was related to gender harassment, but not the gender of the immediate manager. As the immediate manager's leadership style seems to be associated with the occurrence of gender harassment, universities should take this into consideration in their leadership programs.
