(2024) PSPR14 20241Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Inom forskningsfältet har autenticitet visat sig vara en viktig aspekt för välbefinnande, men det har genomförts få kvalitativa studier på fenomenet. Denna studies syfte var att ge en nyanserad beskrivning av och fördjupa förståelsen för svenska, manliga gymnasieungdomars upplevelse av autenticitet. Frågeställningarna undersöker hur autenticitet som tillstånd upplevs, upplevelsen av relationen mellan autenticitet och välbefinnande samt vilka processer och kontexter som upplevs möjliggöra och hindra autenticitet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes på nio deltagare, och materialet analyserades i enlighet med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). De huvudteman som formulerades var Autenticitetens roll för välbefinnande, Det... (More)

Frågeställningarna undersöker hur autenticitet som tillstånd upplevs, upplevelsen av relationen mellan autenticitet och välbefinnande samt vilka processer och kontexter som upplevs möjliggöra och hindra autenticitet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes på nio deltagare, och materialet analyserades i enlighet med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). De huvudteman som formulerades var Autenticitetens roll för välbefinnande, Det börjar med dig själv, Att vara sitt sanna jag är lättare sagt än gjort, Vi blir alla påverkade av den värld vi lever i och Det sociala som trygghet och plats för tillväxt. Upplevelsen av autenticitet beskrevs dels som ett tanklöst och avslappnad tillstånd, dels att det kan kräva mod och ansträngning. Autenticitet och välbefinnande hängde ihop på flera olika sätt enligt ungdomarna. En accepterande omgivning, tillit och närhet i relationer upplevdes möjliggöra autenticitet, medan risker för negativa sociala konsekvenser, att bli dömd av omgivningen eller yttre krav och förväntningar upplevdes förhindra autenticitet. Slutligen framträdde mognads- och utvecklingsprocesser samt individens egna ansvar som viktiga aspekter i ungdomarnas upplevelser av autenticitet. Studien fördjupar förståelsen för hur autenticitet som tillstånd kan upplevas av ungdomar, betonar vikten av autenticitet i ungdomarnas upplevelse av välbefinnande, och betonar vikten av att vidare undersöka hur autenticitet och välbefinnande hänger ihop.

- Abstract
- Authenticity has been proven to be a significant component of well-being, but few studies with qualitative methodology have been conducted on the matter. The purpose of this study is to give a nuanced portrayal and an in-depth understanding of how state authenticity is experienced by Swedish, male high school students. We examine how state authenticity is experienced, the experience of the relation between authenticity and well-being, and what processes and contexts are perceived to enable or prevent authenticity. Semistructured interviews were conducted on nine participants, and the material analyzed through Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Five themes were distinguished: The role of authenticity for well-being, It starts... (More)

We examine how state authenticity is experienced, the experience of the relation between authenticity and well-being, and what processes and contexts are perceived to enable or prevent authenticity. Semistructured interviews were conducted on nine participants, and the material analyzed through Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Five themes were distinguished: The role of authenticity for well-being, It starts with you, To be your “true self” is easier said than done, We are all influenced by the world we live in, and Social aspects for security and a place for growth. The authentic experience was described partly as an effortless and relaxing state, but also as something that takes courage. Authenticity and well-being were experienced to be connected in multiple ways. The participants perceived an accepting environment as well as trust and closeness in relationships to facilitate authenticity, whereas risking negative social consequences, being judged by others and external demands were perceived to prevent authenticity. Lastly, maturing and developmental processes as well as the individual's own responsibility, seemed to be important aspects of young people’s authentic experiences. This study deepens the understanding of how state authenticity can be experienced and highlights the relevance for further examination of how authenticity and well-being are related. (Less)
