Är du en hycklande miljövän? - En experimentell studie om hycklerimanipulationens effekt på miljövänliga beteendeintentioner

När diskrepansen mellan vad människor säger och vad de gör uppmärksammas, väcks kognitiv dissonans som kan motivera beteendeförändring. Ett sätt att uppmärksamma denna diskrepans är genom hyckleriparadigmet, som är en tvåstegs sekventiell metod för att inducera kognitiv dissonans som visat sig ha potential att påverka beteende i miljövänlig riktning. Denna studie fokuserar på hyckleriparadigmets f

Betydelsen av ändrade förhållanden i den svenska avtalsrätten

Grundprincipen att "avtal ska hållas" är en central del i avtalsrätten. Frågan gällande ändrade förhållanden och dess inverkan på avtal har därför länge varit ämne för diskussion. I en långvarig avtalsrelation är det svårt att förutse risken för förändringar som kan drabba avtalet och avtalsrelationen. Frågan väcks i ett sådant sammanhang om vilka möjligheter avtalsparter har att regleraThe fundamental principle that "agreements must be kept" is a central part in contract law.
