New research from Aarhus BSS shows that we underestimate our own and our close others’ risk of infection.

New research shows that the side-effects each of us experience after COVID-19 vaccines are linked to our own expectations. If we are expecting side-effects, we are more likely to actually get them. According to the researchers behind the study, especially healthcare professionals should be mindful of this effect.

On Sunday 5 September, professor of psychology Dorthe Berntsen received the Carlsberg Foundation Research Prize. For her outstanding memory research. For being an interdisciplinary role model. And for having “transformed psychological research in Denmark."

Aarhus BSS’ new research centre ‘Centre for Integrative Business Psychology’ is now officially open. Researchers from the fields of psychology, management and economics are to conduct basic research within topics such as sustainability, consumer behaviour, nudging and business ethics.

Almost every second Danish marriage ends in divorce and a substantial proportion of Danish couples are experiencing significant problems in their relationships. Still Danes are cautious about asking for help when their relationship is deteriorating, and when they do ask for help, they often ask for individual-based solutions. This is the result of a new study from the Department of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences at Aarhus BSS.
