New preprint from our group: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/hwzsc_v1
A field-experiment tested whether a brief stress management intervention could improve police performance in a simulated training exercise for police students. We found self-rated stress to be associated with lower observer-rated performance. The "tactical breathing" intervention led to improved performance. The intervention was not associated with perceiving stress as lower.

Time for an #introduction!
Hi, I'm Bjørn! I grew up on an island in #Norway and later moved to #Bergen. I trained as a #clinicalpsychologist (since lapsed) and took a doctorate in #neuroscience (also lapsed).
I'm a professor in general #psychology at the #UniversityOfBergen. I have quite wide research interests within #cognitivepsycholgy, centered around applied #decisionmaking.
I teach #theory, #humanfactors and #openscience. I supervise PhDs in #riskperception, #HCI and #policepsychology.
