Ge dig hän: en kvalitativ studie om att vara ett med sig själv
(2021) PSPR14 20211Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Hängivelse tycks vara ett helt outforskat ämne. Denna studie var kanske först ut med att inom psykologisk forskning undersöka upplevelsen av hängivelse i stunden. Syftet med studien var att förstå hängivelse, vad som främjar den och vad som hindrar den. En kvalitativ ansats tillämpades och deltagarna, som alla hade kreativa yrken, intervjuades om sina upplevelser av att ge sig hän. Fyra intervjuer transkriberades och bearbetades med tematisk analys, vilket resulterade i fem teman: Hängivelsen befinner sig ”här och nu”, Vara öppen för hängivelsen, Hängivelsen vet inga gränser: att vara ”ett med allt”, Hängivelsen är högst meningsfull: ”precis här ska jag vara”, och Rädsla som hinder för hängivelsen. Upplevelsen av att ge sig hän delar flera... (More)

Upplevelsen av att ge sig hän delar flera egenskaper med andra begrepp som flow, fri lek och bhakti. Hängivelse utmärkte sig bland annat för att vara känslodriven. Studiens kunskapsbidrag var att belysa detta nya forskningsområde och uppmuntra till fler studier om hängivelse. (Less)
- Abstract
- Devotion seems to be an unexplored research topic. This study may be the first within the field of psychology to examine what it is like to experience devotion in the moment. The aim of the study was to understand devotion, what fosters its presence and what hinders its presence. A qualitative approach was undertaken, and the participants, all of whom worked within the creative realm, were interviewed about their experiences of devotion. Four interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Thematic analysis. The result showed five themes: Devotion is “here and now”, Being open for devotion, Devotion knows no boundaries: to be “one with all”, Devotion is highly meaningful: “this is where I will be”, and Fear as an obstacle to devotion.

The experience of devotion shares similarities with concepts like Flow, Play and Bhakti. What makes devotion stand out is that it’s driven by emotion. This study sheds light on a seemingly new research field, one in which hopefully others soon will join. (Less)
