  • Time Perspective, Personality, and Life Satisfaction Among Anorexia Nervosa Patients
    A dark past, a restrained present, and an apocalyptic future: time perspective, personality, and life satisfaction among anorexia nervosa patients Danilo Garcia1,2,3,4, Alexandre Granjard1, Suzanna Lundblad5 and Trevor Archer2,3 1 Blekinge Centre of Competence, Blekinge County Council, Karlskrona, Sweden 2 Department of Psychology, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden 3 Network for Empowerment and Well-Being, Sweden 4 Department of Psychology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden 5 Psychiatry Affective, Anorexia & Bulimia Clinic for Adults, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Background. Despite reporting low levels of well-being, anorexia nervosa patients express temperament traits (e.g., extraversion and persistence) necessary for high levels of life satisfaction. Nevertheless, among individuals without eating disorders, a balanced organization of the flow of time, influences life satisfaction beyond temperamental dispositions. A balanced time perspective is defined as: high past positive, low past negative, high present hedonistic, low present fatalistic, and high future. We investigated differences in time perspective dimensions, personality traits, and life satisfaction between anorexia nervosa patients and matched controls. We also investigated if the personality traits and the outlook on time associated to positive levels of life satisfaction among controls also predicted anorexia patients' life satisfaction. Additionally, we investigated if time perspective dimensions predicted life satisfaction beyond personality traits among both patients and controls. Method. A total of 88 anorexia nervosa patients from a clinic in the West of Sweden and Submitted 23 January 2017 Accepted 22 August 2017 111 gender-age matched controls from a university in the West of Sweden participated Published 14 September 2017 in the Study.

  • Sweden and Ecological Governance
    lundqvist jkt 1/20/04 11:52 AM Page 1 ISSUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS Sweden is seen as a forerunner in environmental and ecological policy. Sweden andecologicalgovernance Sweden and ecological governance is about policies and strategies for Sweden and ecologically rational governance, and uses the Swedish case study to ask whether or not it is possible to move from a traditional environmental ecological governance policy to a broad, integrated pursuit of sustainable development, as illustrated through the ‘Sustainable Sweden’ programme. Straddling the fence The study begins by looking at the spatial dimensions of ecological governance, and goes on to consider the integration and effectiveness of sustainable development policies. It analyses the tension between democracy and sustainable development, which has a broader relevance beyond the Swedish model, to other nation states as well as the European Union as a whole. In this book the author offers the latest word in advanced implementation of sustainable development by a front-runner in environmental and ecological policy. It will be useful for students of environmental politics and sustainable development researchers. Lennart J.
