Children

The research group is concerned with studying both which mechanisms increase the risk of alienation, what characterizes children and young people's own experiences with alienation, and what consequences alienation has for the individual child and youth, and for society.

The term outsiders describes a situation where individuals or groups of people stand outside what are considered central social arenas, for example where they do not participate in work life or take education, or where they lack linguistic or cultural connection to the rest of society.

Child/Adolescent Psychology Lab (CAPLab) brings together psychologists studying the psychology of children and adolescents, both from a developmental and a clinical perspective. CAPLab members are both researchers and practitioners (certified clinical psychologists, psychotherapists) basing their work on the idea of evidence-based assessment / treatment. Researches in the CAPLab focus on:

adolescents (internalizing/externalizing behaviour, mental health, risk behaviours, self-concept)

Methods: Quantitative and qualitative (interviews, survey)

Outcomes: explored relationship between implicit parenting and parenting behaviours; comprehensive model of parenting influences on children’s developmental outcomes in behavioural, mental health and self-concept domains
