Faglige interesser

Jeg er opptatt av moderne identitet og skiftende betingelser for oppvekst og oppdragelse innenfor ulike sosiale grupper i globaliserte samfunn, som preges av hurtige endringer, få faste holdepunkter og individualisering. Jeg har fokus på hvordan nye arenaer for sosialisering, informasjonsflyt og teknologiske landskap påvirker opplevelsen av å fatte livsvalg, selvforståelse og bidrar til å produsere innhold til sosiale roller. I mitt nåværende prosjekt undersøker jeg nordiske kulturelle idealer knyttet til foreldreskap, barn og familieliv med særlig vekt på konstruksjon av morsrollen.

Young people’s room for autonomy and independent life choices is challenged by intensive parenting practices and ambiguous ideals underpinning the youth-parent relationship. In this article, we explore how young people make sense of and relate to parental influence as they are about to make choices of higher education. Through Foucauldian discourse analyses of interviews with 23 young men and women (19 years) in Oslo, Norway, this study sheds light on how the youth reconciled ideals of self-expression and self-determination with perceived parental influence. We demonstrate how their ‘autonomous self’ is portrayed as ‘accountable’ and ‘malleable’, to allow for parent’s influence through their subject positions as ‘advisor’ and ‘socialising agent’. These subject positions overlap with discourses of intensive parenting previously described as disciplining the modern parent. We discuss whether youth contribute to the cultivation of ‘the intensive parent’, and the potential the ideal of autonomy holds for conformity to normalizing powers.

Objective This article tracks changes in stories of parental authority in Norway from a youth perspective, comparing how three generations talked about their own relationships with their parents while growing up. Background Previous research has described contemporary youth–parent relationships as being characterized by both diminution of parental authority, due to a democratization of family life, and by more covert forms of parental control. In addition to shedding light on generational differences in youths' perspectives on parental authority, the analysis reveals important nuances with regard to the ambiguous dynamics of power in contemporary youth–parent relationships. Method Through a narrative analysis of the stories of 67 participants, the article maps out how the three generations talked about different ways of “doing authority,” connoting how parental authority was relationally constructed and normatively anchored in their stories. Results Although the successive democratization of the youth–parent relationship is visible across the three generations, this democratization does not entail a corresponding loss in parental authority. Conclusion The normative sources by which youth legitimize parental authority have changed to include ideals of the equal and close parent who is deserving of respect and hence retains an emotional authority.

Zahl, Joakim Haugane; Fonn, Erik Kjos; Kristensen, Bjørn Dahl; Born, Victoria de Leon & Thomsen, Lotte (2026). Return the Favor: Preverbal Infants Represent and Emotionally Value Direct Reciprocity. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag
The distribution of scarce resources, priority rights, help, and care are central dilemmas of human life. Seminal proposals hold that reciprocity is key for the evolution of cooperation among non-kin, and norms of reciprocity permeate human society. Yet, it remains unknown if human infants are prepared to represent and respond appropriately to direct reciprocity prior to extensive socialization. Here we show that preverbal infants (N=340) predict, postdict, and respond emotionally whether novel agents selectively donate scarce resources to former benefactors, triangulating measures of anticipatory-looking, violation-of-expectation, and emotional responses across six experiments. These results indicate that dedicated psychological coordination mechanisms for direct reciprocity form such basic building-blocks of the human mind that they help humans recognize and appropriately navigate reciprocal coordination already from preverbal infancy onwards.
