Ph.D. fellowship
The Research Center for Psychology of Religion at Innlandet Hospital Trust has a vacant three years 100% position as PhD research fellow from early 2021 on the research project Meaning in Life and Mental Health Strategies During the Corona Crisis.
About the project (abstract):
The overall purpose of this study is to explore the features and possible functions of individuals’ meaning in life during the pandemic crisis. Three aspects of meaning in life are addressed: Meaningfulness, crisis of meaning, and sources of meaning. These aspects will be explored in associations with mental health variables, emotions, different ways of dealing with the crisis situation, and conspiracy attitudes.
A mixed methods design is applied, and data will draw on three different samplings: surveys from May 2020 and one year after, and focus group interviews fall 2021.
