Forskningsområden

My research is revolving around the concept of Emotion. I do research on fear and fear responses, which has led to that much research relates to wildlife management of large carnivores and quality of life issues. This research is done in co-operation with researchers at University of Lund (Maria Johansson), the Swedish Agriculture University (Jens Frank) and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (Ole-Gunnar Støen). Lately I have started to do research on the relation between emotion recognition accuracy and empathic accuracy / mind reading competence, and how an understanding of this relation possibly could be promote training of mind reading abilities in professional helpers, such as clinical psychologists, social workers, and nurses.

Undervisning

I teach mainly at our program for students becoming clinical psychologists and our master program in Emotion psychology. I also teach on the sport science program. My teaching is mainly concerned with emotion psychology and statistics.
