I?ve chosen to emanate from two specific values which I believe is especially relevant to the ethical problems of bugging, efficiency in fighting crime and the personal integrity. To be able to illustrate this conflict between different values did I do an ana

The purpose of this essay was a follow-up of four female drug abusers with several mental problems ten years after my initial meeting with them at Korsaröds Behandlingshem.

First, de St. Aubin's (1996) modified polarity scale (MPS), adapted from Tomkins (1965), was investigated, using data from 315 Swedes.

This research adds to the underst

This thesis is a contribution to current research conducted from a so called neo-Whorfian perspective. That is, do linguistic differences yield differences in categorization preference (in a forced choice similarity task)? However, the debate over the pervasiveness of the linguistic effect upon categorization, together with the incoherent findings in prior studies suggest a theoretically open-mind
