Psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) refererar till förmågan att genomföra beteenden som ligger i linje med långsiktiga mål inom värderade områden i livet trots närvaro av obehagliga tankar, känslor och fysiska sensationer som ger upphov till impulser att undvika dessa erfarenheter.

Since 1986, the Vietnamese socialist state has gradually opened towards the global market. Subsequently, socialist modernity may increasingly be outrivaled by the individualistic culture associated with global capitalism which is now gaining ground in Vietnam, especially among the urban middle-class who can easily access it. Proceeding from a post-colonial feminist framework, this thesis aims to i

Under de senaste två åren har EU och EU-medlemsstaterna haft stora utmaningar till följd av flyktingkrisen. Brister i EU:s yttre gränskontroller har lett till att några medlemsstater, däribland Sverige, valt att införa tillfälliga inre gränskontroller. Den fria rörligheten har därmed begränsats till förmån för allmän ordning och säkerhet. Uppsatsen handlar om att undersöka om de svenska åtgärderOver the last two years, the EU and EU Member States have faced challenges as a result of the refugee crisis. Deficiencies in the EU's external borders have led to the imposition of temporary internal border controls by some Member States. Freedom of movement has thus been limited to the benefit for public order and security. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the Swedish law

Denna studie har undersökt högpresterande studenters upplevelser av grupparbete i syfte att utreda huruvida deras upplevelse stämmer överens med vad tidigare forskning visat gällande högpresterande elever vid grund- och gymnasieskolan, samt om de upplever att grupparbeten påverkar deras motivation. Tio semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med personer som hade blivit antagna till ett programThis study examined experiences of group-work for high-achieving students with the purpose to see if their experiences coincide with previous research concerning elementary- and high school students, and if they feel that group work influences their motivation. Ten semi-structured interviews were held with people who had been accepted into a program for high-achievers. The results indicate that th
