RIPENSA ANNUAL REPORT 2009

RIPENSA IN BRIEF
This is the 3rd Annual Report from the research team for Risk Psychology, Environment and Safety. The team
is organized within the Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU,
in Trondheim. Our main activities involve teaching and research. The personnel group includes five full time
employees as well as time limited positions. The teaching tasks mainly involve supervision and courses at
the Master's and Doctoral levels. The research projects vary over time, but basically aim at developing
knowledge and practices within a larger cross-disciplinary and societal framework. Most of us have a basic
training in psychology. Current projects are listed in a later part of the report.
The RIPENSA research group was constituted in June 2007 based on five academic positions. In 2008, two
colleagues with ordinary positions in social psychology joined the team. Changes in 2009 involve one new
doctoral student and a guest researcher, as well as additional support in the administrative work. One
university lecturer was teaching within another unit at the department during the autumn semester, one
doctoral student changed affiliation, and one of our associate professors (20%) retired. We thank you all
very much for your input and the good times we enjoyed together.
All persons in RIPENSA are related to broad national and international networks. The denominator guiding
the work is the relationships between human beings and risk, safety and environmental issues. Current
research projects involve collaborations within as well as outside of the group. A wide range of relevant
environmental and societal issues provide the basis for the research topics in our projects. The focus can be
theoretical or applied, the project work of shorter or longer duration, but they aim at gaining insights into
human views and reactions relative specified problem areas or demands.
We also list the projects of the ten Master students, who joined the RIPENSA Master’s Education in 2008, in
this report. These students work with a large thesis (45 study units or ECTS), in the estimated time of 1,5
semesters, so this workload certainly represents a major effort and a good basis for a presentation here.
Other master students currently supervised by someone in the RIPENSA team are also listed in the end of
this report.
Previous work with the RIPENSA Master’s Programme laid the foundation for the uptake of international
students in a new two-year International Master´s Degree from August 2009. Six students joined this first
group within the international programme. Their master thesis work will start in 2010 and be presented in
next year’s annual report.
In 2009 a closer collaboration between existing Master’s Programmes was initiated and discussed with the
team of the Industrial Ecology programme at NTNU in November. In the end of the year there was an
accepted outline ready for combining courses from the respective International Master’s programmes. This
outline involves additional options for interested students who may combine courses from the RIPENSA and
3
the IndEcol programmes. The broader alternatives of choice will be available for students starting in the
autumn 2010. During the autumn semester the RIPENSA team has participated in presentations of NTNU’s
International Master Programmes.
The year 2009 involved internal RIPENSA-team meetings approximately twice a month, and totally six
workshops when more time was allocated to selected tasks or discussions. The team planned and
coordinated teaching and research activities, internal and external seminars, and the collaborative
forthcoming project of producing an edited book. One major collaborative event was the RIPENSA-team
presentation (in two sessions) of our current research at the SRA-E conference in Karlstad, Sweden (JuneJuly). The sessions attracted interest from a variety of researchers and practitioners in Europe and from
elsewhere.
The RIPENSA-group also arranged an international seminar on positive occupational health psychology in
Trondheim, 3-5 June, 2009. The seminar was arranged in collaboration with the Research Centre for Health
Promotion and Resources (ISS) at NTNU / HIST and the Department of Leadership and Organisational
Management, at the Norwegian School of Management (BI). This seminar was oriented towards Ph.D
students (who could earn credit for their project work) and researchers interested in positive occupational
health psychology. Invited speakers were professors Wilmar Schaufeli, Marisa Salanova, Joar Vittersø and
Jari Hakanen.
A number of externally announced Advanced Seminars were held during 2009 with invited persons or
colleagues from other universities. Two doctoral courses were given in the spring term, as well as one
“Experts in team” course, which successfully attracted students from across the university. Five doctoral
students have been working on their theses in relation to a supervisor or co-supervisor in RIPENSA, and one
doctoral thesis was submitted in December to the TIK-department, at the home university in Oslo.
Eight Master theses were finalized and defended (each 45 study units or ECTS) with supervisors within
RIPENSA during the year. In all, the teaching work at the Bachelor, Master’s and Doctoral levels covered
102,5 ECTS, apart from Master´s theses work, and the supervision of individually selected texts. The
following parts of this Annual Report present the team, and give overviews of publications, activities and
research projects.

Selected Research Projects:
Governance, risk and safety communication: Opportunities and limitations in the
communication between various interest groups in the management of petroleum and marine
resources in the High North (planned PhD-project, 2008-2011)
RIPENSA Project members: Tone Aasen, Britt-Marie Drottz Sjöberg (Supervisor), Christian Klöckner (Cosupervisor)
The Barents Sea - Lofoten area is regarded as being Europe's last large, clean and relatively untouched
marine ecosystem. Currently, the living marine resources of these waters are coming under increasing
pressure from human impact. Petroleum exploitation in Northern Norway is a controversial issue. The
contemporary risk debate concerning possible environmental impacts or consequences related to petroleum
activities in the Barents Sea, and the possibility of future oil revenues in the Lofoten area, illustrates an
arena displaying several conflicting interests in a multi-facetted decision-making process. Views by various
interest groups, involving perceptions and evaluations of risk and safety issues in relation to petroleum
industrial development in the High North, were reviewed in the project. Project interests also involved issues
of participation, dialogue and transparency in risk management and decision-making processes. The
theoretical basis of this research project rested on theories and methodologies in behavioral and social
sciences; especially materials found in risk psychology and risk communication work. Qualitative data
collections (focus group interviews and personal interviews) were carried out during 2008 and 2009.
Unfortunately, however, was the project terminated in the late spring of 2009 due to changes in preferences
of the doctoral work.
Sexual Harassment among students in senior high-school, partly internally funded. 2007-2009
RIPENSA Project member: Mons Bendixen
Partners: Sør-Trøndelag Fylkeskommune, Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair, NTNU
The aim of the project is to examine the prevalence of sexual harassment among high-school students in
Sør-Trøndelag. An important aim of the project is to identify potential negative health consequences of
sexual harassment in male and female students. Furthermore, we want to identify sexual and non-sexual
risk factors for being sexually harassed. The survey, covering more than 1600 respondents, also covers
questions on various sexual experiences, sexual attitudes, the use of pornography, and attitudes and social
norms associated with harassment and sexual exploitation.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
SEC- Social exclusion in children
RIPENSA Project member: Mons Bendixen, Ute Gabriel
Partners: Francoise Alsaker (University of Bern, Switzerland), Adrian Baumgartner (PH Bern, Switzerland)
This research focuses on how children react to being socially excluded. Social exclusion or ostracism
describes the act of being ignored and excluded. The project aims at closely monitoring the process of
ostracism’s immediate impact on children during an experimentally induced episode of exclusion. Research
on children so far has mainly focused on self-report and “other-report”. In assessing reflexive and reflective
reactions to ostracism we intend to investigate the very dynamic of such negative social encounters.
IPS-International Parenting Study, internally funded. 2008-2010
RIPENSA Project member: Mons Bendixen (coordinator in Norway)
Partners: Murray A. Straus and Angele Fauchier (project coordinators), University of New Hampshire.
This is a cross-cultural project including 37 nations world-wide. Using Straus' newly developed Discipline
Inventory on two Norwegian samples (one national sample of parents with children aged between 3 and 10,
and one student sample) the project aims at examining the use of punitive and non-punitive discipline
strategies toward young children. Information collected on respondent's own discipline history is exclusively
retrospective. Correlates and heath consequences of punitive discipline behaviors are examined.

One point of departure of the ARGONA project (Contract no.: FP6-036413, 2006) was that participation and
transparency are key elements for effective risk governance. The acronym ARGONA stands for "Arenas for
Risk Governance" and the project has investigated policy making structures, theoretical perspectives of
participation and democracy, the roles of mediators, risk communication, and it has tested and applied
participatory processes. It has also studied how approaches of transparency and deliberation relate to each
other and how they relate to the political system in which decisions are taken, for example in relation to final
disposal of nuclear waste.
In the work package on risk communication the focus was on how good risk communication can be
organized taking cultural aspects and different perspectives into account. Two approaches were used: a) to
compare and summarize different countries' approaches to, and utilizations of, risk communication strategies
in the management of nuclear wastes (by questionnaires, interviews and focus groups in several countries),
and b) to investigate how experts and laypersons deal with approaches to uncertainty. The results of the
two approaches to risk communication were aimed at improving public awareness about risks associated
with nuclear waste using a systematic approach to risk communication. Contacts related to 4:1 and 4:2 are

The aim of this project is to build competence and knowledge regarding vulnerabilities related to the
changing electric power system, especially due to new requirements and changing operating conditions, and
thereby contribute to ensure an appropriate level of security of supply. In particular the project will:
Establish a scientific basis for monitoring and management of vulnerabilities in a changing power system;
Provide a methodical framework for analyses of vulnerability and security in the development and operation
of the transmission and distribution systems. The project focuses on failures and disturbances in the power
grids leading to wide-area interruptions with severe impact on society. The objectives of the project are to:
Establish a framework of definitions, indicators and methods to monitor and classify vulnerabilities in electric
power grids; Establish methods and operational tools for power system risk and vulnerability analysis and
assessment of the level of security of supply; Provide new knowledge through 1 - 2 PhD studies within the
fields of methods for analysis of extraordinary events and/or risk attitudes and criteria related to wide-area
interruptions.

EcoRock - Communicating environmental aspects at rockfestivals, 2008-2009
RIPENSA Project member: Christian Klöckner
Partners: PSTEREO-festival, NTNU www.pstereo.net
The EcoRock project develops a communication and intervention strategy for environmental protection on a
local 2 days rock festival (PSTEREO) in Trondheim. The aim is to analyse if a group experience, such as a
rock festival, could be an innovative way to reach young people's conscience and influence their
environmentally relevant behaviour. The project will develop a communication strategy that combines
positive aspects of rock festivals (e.g., social experiences) with pro-environmental slogans without
moralising. A student planning cell in the "Experts in Teams" program of the NTNU will develop specific
interventions that will be implemented in the festival. A pilotstudy on environmental behaviour and attitudes
has been conducted in autumn 2008 on four rock concerts in Trondheim and Bergen. A large scale
evaluation of the projects impact will be conducted around the next summer's festival.

This project is concerned with researching the phenomenon of fixation, i.e. the stability of travel mode
preferences regardless of changing internal and external conditions. Our analysis is based on an extended
norm activation model. A primary focus is to analyse which mechanism (association, scripts, heuristics),
serves best to explain travel mode fixation. Also, influcences of socialization on the genesis of habits are
considered. The study was conducted with about 4.400 students of the Ruhr-University Bochum as a
longitudinal online study with a series of complementing experiments in subsamples.

Project Background and Aims
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Germany on a lasting basis will require many different approaches.
Technical solutions and new energy systems offer enormous potential for a more efficient use of energy.
However, they often require sizable investments and consequently scare off many target groups. Substantial
energy savings can also be achieved simply through changes in consumer behaviour - and with much
smaller investments. The NRW Energy Agency estimates the potential for reducing energy consumption in
public buildings alone at 15 per cent. Public buildings offer opportunities to reduce energy consumption
substantially through changes in electricity and heat consumption behaviour. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum
(University of Bochum) for example could potentially reduce its energy consumption by up to 20 per cent.
Building on interdisciplinary collaboration, this project aims to develop and implement new and effective
intervention strategies to foster efficient user behaviour in organisations - the project will initially examine
universities - and then evaluate it on a scientific basis. It is to be expected that these types of changes in
behaviour will be adopted by other institutions and consumers in private households as a result of the model
and disseminator effect universities have.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
Evidence based methodology for employee opinion surveys (EOS), funded by Psykologisk
Metod AB, 2008-2010
RIPENSA Project member: Lennart Sjöberg
There is a large number of approaches to how to conduct an EOS. The costs are considerable and examples
can easily be found where the results are small or absent. There are probably several reasons. Work in the
area is focused on satisfaction, but that is an insufficient factor if job performance is the ultimate criterion.
This project will introduce willingness to work which is a much better measure of work motivation. Risks and
threats are rarely treated in EOS, perhaps because management wants to avoid such issues, yet they are
very important for opinions and motivations. Reliance on single questions is very risky because linguistic
details are very important. Attitude scales, on the other hand, are hard to interpret in an absolute manner but this is still being done. A further problem is connected with the interpretation of correlational data, be
they based on variations among individuals or units. Finally, lack of a clear connection with goal setting is a
probable cause that few or no improvements occur, in spite of the best of intentions. The project aims to
elucidate these matters on the basis of selected examples in Swedish industry and communities. Extensive
data from a biotechnology industry have been collected and are being analyzed for generating hypotheses
regarding the important factors in willingness to work and job satisfaction.
Development of a personality test, the UPP test, funded by Psykologisk Metod AB 2005-2011
RIPENSA Project member: Lennart Sjöberg
This is a major effort to develop an improved self-report personality test for use in industrial and
organizational psychology. Fifteen studies have been conducted, and about 3000 persons have been tested.
Several goals have been achieved: developing scales which are better predictors of criteria than the Big Five,
construct validation of all scales, correcting for impression management, measurement of data quality for
each persona taking the test, measurement of mood state during test taking, development of a methodology
for assessment in relation to the specific demands in any application, and development of both normative
and ipsative narrative reports. Large-scale applications are underway.

what challenges they foresee in the future regarding risk management.
Alarmhåndtering og Mental Arbeidsbelastning i Prosesskontrollrom [Management of Alarms
and Mental Workload in Process Control Rooms]
Co-supervisor: Stig O. Johnsen, SINTEF
Masterstudent: Marie Halvorsen
The project aims at a literature review of empirical and theoretical studies that deal with mental workload in
control rooms managing alarms related to industrial processes. It focuses on effects of low mental
stimulation or workload in the work situation.

RIPENSA Project member: Ute Gabriel (supervisor)
Masterstudents: Anine Marie Stiansen
Students’ Motivation to Take the Swineflu Vaccination
RIPENSA Project member: Christian Klöckner (supervisor)
Masterstudents: Tina Langaas & Silje Skaug
Two master theses explore psychological factors behind the gap between high vulnerability for swineflu of
students between 18 and 29 years of age and the comparably small proportion of students that took
vaccination. One master thesis is focusing on motivational factors using an extended protection motivation
theory, the other focuses on the influence of differently designed media reports on the perceived risk of
swineflu.
Personality Differences between Parachutists on the National Team and Hobby Parachutists
Masterstudent: Kristian Moxness
The project tests both elite and non-elite skydivers, and elite low-risk athletes on two measures of
personality: Hardiness and Sensation Seeking. Hypotheses are that the elite skydiver group scores higher
than the average skydiver group on the Hardiness scale, but similar on the Sensation Seeking Scale, the elite
low risk group score lower on the Sensation Seeking Scale than both the skydiving groups, and the elite low
risk group score higher than the average skydiver group on the Hardiness scale.
Do Norwegian Egalitarian Values just Cover up Negative Attitudes to Foreigners?
Masterstudent: Sacha de Raaf
The project analyses if the strong egalitarian values Norwegian society hold lead to a reduced level of
negative attitudes to foreigners or just suppress open expression of negative attitudes. In the project implicit
and explicit attitudes of young adolescents to foreigners as well as the degree of egalitarian value
orientation will be measured before the adolescents take part in a group discussion about a topic related to
immigration to Norway. The group discussion setting will be experimentally varied (homogenous group of
Norwegians vs. mixed nationalities and Norwegian vs. Non-Norwegian moderator) to test if different settings
trigger different norms to (not) express negative attitudes.

Masterstudent: Maria Eidsaa Larsen
The project analyses how in modern Norwegian work arrangements the interaction between job and private
life influences women and men differently depending in gender roles, education and living situation.
Waste Separation by Students in Four Norwegian Cities
Masterstudent: Inger Olin Oppedal
The master project applied a comprehensive action determination model built on several social psychological
theories to recycling behaviour in four domains: Paper, plastic, glass, and metal. More than 700 students in
four Norwegian cities were included in a quantitative survey. The interactions between situational and
psychological predictors of waste separation were analysed with structural equation modelling.

Master in Risk Psychology, Environment and Safety
The RIPENSA master programme started in August 2008. It provides the opportunity to focus on issues
associated to risk, environment and safety on the basis of knowledge gained in psychology and the social
sciences. It offers studies of individual’s and of groups’ reactions and actions, including risk communication,
when confronting challenges related to threats, and uncertainties, management and prevention.
The programme aims at giving students a deeper insight into the perceived risk and risk communication
fields as well as the areas of environmental psychology, and of safety/security issues. There is an emphasis
on linking risk, environment and safety issues on the basis of selected topics or problems on an
interdisciplinary knowledge platform. Materials and tasks in the courses relate to challenges in the RIPENSA
areas. This programme was developed into an international master’s programme, MPHIL, from the autumn
of 2009.
