Studien syftar till att undersöka upplevelsen av personlighetstester i rekryteringssammanhang utifrån både rekryterares och arbetssökande perspektiv. Studiens frågeställning är: Vilken uppfattning har rekryterare om personlighetstest som metod? Vilken upplevelse har arbetssökande av personlighetstest? Hur påverkar validiteten och reliabiliteten användningen av personlighetstest? För att undersöka detta utfördes tio intervjuer av fem rekryterare och fem arbetssökande. Undersökningar om just personlighetstester i samband med rekryteringar går att finna men det är mindre vanligt med en jämförelse mellan rekryterare och arbetssökare. Tidigare forskning stödjer att människans personlighet till stor del är föränderlig och påverkas av den situation individen befinner sig i, därför finns relevans till att undersöka detta ur en sociologisk ståndpunkt. Att undersöka hur de olika grupperna upplever personlighetstest blev därför motiveringen till studien och förhoppningen är att bidra till en större insikt om personlighetstester som metod vid rekryteringar. Tidigare forskning har bland annat visat att personlighetstest bör användas som ett komplement till en personlig intervju med syfte att bidra till en större förståelse om individens personlighet. Det bör ej användas som enda urvalsverktyg tidigt i urvalsprocessen eftersom personlighetstest har en låg validitet och reliabilitet. Det teoretiska ramverket i studien utgår från Erving Goffmans teori kring det dramaturgiska perspektivet med fokus på begreppen framträdande och roller. Resultatet bygger på tre olika teman som framkom ur intervjuerna: testmomentet och återkoppling samt personlighetstesters utveckling. Utifrån dessa tre teman presenteras resultat och analys utifrån både rekryterarnas och arbetssökandes perspektiv. Studien visar att upplevelsen av personlighetstesterna skiljer sig åt från de olika grupperna. Rekryterarna upplever testen som en positiv metod i urvalsprocessen, och ser dem som ett bra underlag för en senare personlig intervju. Rekryterarna poängterar att en viktig del är att diskutera testet med den arbetssökande. Gruppen med arbetssökande har en mer problematisk syn på personlighetstester och samtliga har upplevt test tidigt i urvalsprocessen, utan återkoppling och utan möjlighet till en genomgång.

The present study investigates comments posted on IMDB, in an effort to shed light on how these comments create and navigate subject and object positions in relation to Twilight (2008)and its intended audience. In so doing, the study implements a Bourdieusian theoretical framework centered on habitus; field; cultural capital; symbolic violence, and taste. The study also draws on Connell’s theory of masculinities, utilizing the notion of hegemony in the study the aforementioned subject positions from an intersectional point of view. Through a thematic close reading, the present study finds that masculine subject positions are created and maintained in opposition to Twilight and its intended audience. Furthermore, these subject positions relied on symbolic violence in order to distance their position – which the study considers to be one of hegemonic masculinity – from the movie and its fans. Apart from gender, age also played a large part of this distancing process; young, irrational women were positioned as the polar opposite of the reasonable, masculine subject positions whose points of view were presented in the comments.

A growing number of individuals in Europe and other developed regions of the world are remaining childless throughout their life course. These individuals will lack major social and caring components relative to parents and likely have other needs and issues as they age and as the proportion of childless continues to grow. It has previously been shown that partnered individuals and parents’ live longer and healthier lives, but studies into the mental health of childless individuals have been inconclusive. In the present study I investigate the relationship between mental wellbeing and childlessness in France and Sweden. The mental wellbeing of the respondents was measured using a short-form of a depression scale. The result of the study showed that the effects of childlessness were affected by country of residence, gender, parental status as well as marital status. Further, a poor relationship to one’s children had a negative impact on mental wellbeing. Individual attitude towards childlessness did not have an effect on mental wellbeing however, and contrary to previous studies and the first hypothesis of this study, being childless did not have a negative effect on mental wellbeing. The results are limited by the nature of the sample, where a more complete measure of the depression scale would have been beneficial. Future research could further investigate the significance of positive family relationship compared to those with poor relationships and the childless. As the proportion of childless individuals continues to grow there will be ample research opportunities into their mental wellbeing.
