Departement of Psychology, Pedagogy and Law
The section has three major disciplines:
- The Section for Psychology, Pedagogy and Law's Academic Profile relates to research and teaching related to learning, development and law. Pedagogy is a field of study, science and an internship that deals with parenting, socialization, learning and teaching in different contexts and at different ages. Common is knowledge of how we humans develop and learn. Studies in psychology provide knowledge that explains and predicts actions of humans, alone andin groups and knowledge of the cognitive mechanisms behind it. Forensic science deals with major areas such as health law, labour law, property rights, market law and inheritance law.
- The section has several research groups such as the Critical Thinking Research Lab researching learning, development and teaching critical thinking in people with different learningprofiles. The research group Cognition and Art Research Group has an interdisciplinary focusand looks at the relationship between cognition and art. In the research lab The PIT there are a number of exciting studies on perception, interactive technology, and interaction between humans and machines.
- The section provides both annual units and bachelor's programmes both on campus and as online studies. We focus on providing educations the labour market needs and have several exciting programmes under development both at bachelor's and master's level.

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. This invasion has enormous consequences for health and health systems. This event took place at the same time as the health systems in Europe are struggling to rebalance services and finances after the Covid-19 pandemic (Leon et.al., 2022). In addition, the physical and psychological problems experienced by millions of refugees and internally displaced persons are significant. Since the invasion began, over 40,000 Ukrainian refugees have settled in...
Violence dramatically affects human development – individually and the aggregate. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma related mental problems cause suffering and undermine the individuals’ capability to work and maintain social relations [7]. Accordingly, trauma related disorders have been associated with anger, hostility, decrease in conciliatory attitudes and an inclination to resolve conflicts more violently [8-11]. Inverse relations have also been found with social capit...
The project is a historical investigation into the inspiration behind the world's first RCT experiment, conducted by James Lind in the 1747. Here, Lind uses oranges and lemons as a cure for scurcy, but little attention has been given to why he chose this treatment to begin with. His book refers to a journal excerpt from a "Mr. Ives", who first noticed that oranges reduced scurvy symptoms. The Ives Project is an investigation into this person (now identified as Edward Ives) and the journey...
Forskningen skal utforske under hvilke betingelser friske personer hallusinerer (hører stemmer). For å gjøre dette kombinerer vi to typer betingelser, hvit støy og absolutt stillhet, som representerer to sensoriske ytterpunkter ved at den første overstimulerer (bottom-up drevet) og den andre understimulerer (top-down drevet) det auditive systemet. Begge betingelsene har tidligere blitt assosiert med hallusinasjoner men ikke blitt undersøkt samtidig. I denne studien ønsker vi å undersøke hvilk...
The project looks at gaming in those of middle-to older age, in particular how gaming could benefit the cognitive abilities of older people. Previous studies have found that retired people playing videos have increased attention, memory and problem solving abilities, provided that they enjoy the game. This project further investigates the interaction between age, cognitive abilities, cognitive aging, and video game perception and experience.
In Norway, women represent 75% of all visual artists (Heian et al., 2015). Despite this, 90% of all art sold in Norway in 2018 was produced by men (Sjøvold et al., 2019). This discrepancy occurs despite that most art critics are women (Heian et al., 2015) and that more women visit museums than men (SSB, 2019). This issue speaks to a systemic gender discrimination that likely exists at multiple levels, ranging from private galleries to public institutions. . The GINA project will systematicall...
