Emotionell påverkan på moralbedömning : kan irrelevanta äckelkänslor medföra starkare fördömande?

An experiment was conducted to see which impact the basic emotion of disgust has on moral judgment. Earlier studies have been dominated by the belief that moral judgment is caused by moral reasoning alone, and not by emotions. The social intuitionist model (Haidt, 2001) constitutes an alternative to such theories. 60 university students (30 male and 30 female) participated in the experiment. They read stories that described morally questionable actions. For half of the participants the stories had a vivid disgust ending and for the other half the stories had a more vaguely disgusting ending. The results indicate that the participants used their emotions when they made their moral judgments, t (56) = 1.491, p = .071. The group that read stories with the vivid endings rated the action to be more morally wrong than the group that read stories with non-vivid endings.

Betydelsen av ledarskap och arbetsklimat samt stresshantering för känslan av sammanhang på arbetsplatsen

The study was performed to investigate, from a salutogenetic perspective, what influences peoples perception of well-being and their work related sense of coherence. In the study a questionnaire was distributed to 120 employees in a hospital. The questionnaire consisted of The work related sense of coherence (WSOC), The Change-, production- and employee-centered ledership (CPE), The Organisational climate questionnaire (GEFA), The Copenhagen burnout inventory (CBI) and a stressmanagment question-naire (Coping scale). A total of 63 questionnaires were returned. The result indicated that the organizational climate was quite innovative; the employee-centered leadership style was the most obvious. The nurses and the employees that was working daytime shift had a higher level of WSOC than the assistant nurses and the employees that worked at night. The participants WSOC were mainly influenced by the organisational climate (p < .05) and the absence of physical stress (p = 0,04).
