Abstract (Swedish)
Autenticitet ses av vissa forskare som en central del av välbefinnande. Mot bakgrund av detta ville vi fördjupa förståelsen för upplevelsen av autenticitet hos svenska gymnasieungdomar. Inom ramen för projektet “Välbefinnande och självkänsla på gymnasiet” på Lunds universitet genomförde vi semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med sju ungdomar i årskurs tre på gymnasiet om deras erfarenheter av att må bra och kunna vara sanna mot sig själva. Materialet kodades och analyserades med hjälp av Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket utmynnade i fem huvudteman: I en relation som möjliggör, Valet att träda fram, Inre kamp, Närvaro i stunden och Inspiration. I det autentiska tillståndet upplevde ungdomarna att de var genuint... (More)

Materialet kodades och analyserades med hjälp av Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket utmynnade i fem huvudteman: I en relation som möjliggör, Valet att träda fram, Inre kamp, Närvaro i stunden och Inspiration. I det autentiska tillståndet upplevde ungdomarna att de var genuint intresserade av vad de gjorde, kunde agera ohämmat inför andra, var närvarande i stunden och kände inspiration. De kontexter som upplevdes möjliggöra autenticitet var ofta icke-dömande och uppskattande relationer. De processer som beskrevs möjliggöra autenticitet var dels att träda fram inför andra, dels att hitta det genuina inom sig. Studien understryker relevansen av autenticitet som en del av ungdomars välbefinnande och fördjupar förståelsen för hur autentiska tillstånd kan upplevas av ungdomar. (Less)
Abstract
Authenticity is viewed by some researchers as a central aspect of well-being. Considering this, we aimed to deepen the understanding of the experience of authenticity among Swedish high-school youths. As part of the research project ”Well-being and self-esteem in high school” at Lund university, we conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with third year high school students about their experience of well-being and being one’s true self. The data was coded and analyzed with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which resulted in five superordinate themes: In an enabling relationship, The choice of coming forward, Inner struggle, Presence in the moment and Inspiration. In the authentic state the youths experienced that... (More)

As part of the research project ”Well-being and self-esteem in high school” at Lund university, we conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with third year high school students about their experience of well-being and being one’s true self. The data was coded and analyzed with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which resulted in five superordinate themes: In an enabling relationship, The choice of coming forward, Inner struggle, Presence in the moment and Inspiration. In the authentic state the youths experienced that they felt genuinely interested in what they were doing, could act in an uninhibited manner in front of others, were present in the moment and felt inspired. The contexts that were experienced as enabling authenticity were often non-judgmental and appreciative relationships. The processes that were described as enabling authenticity involved coming forward in front of others and finding the genuine within yourself. This study highlights the relevance of authenticity as an aspect of youths’ well-being and deepens the understanding of how authentic states can be experienced by youths. (Less)
