Abstract

From the value perspective of positive psychology, this project was designed to analyse the Norwegian working life ideology as it is presented in the public discourse. The analysis of the public discourse was conducted in three phases. These involved a thorough content analysis of topics that were presented in the discourse, and an in-depth discourse oriented analysis of the material. Based on these analyses, it was possible to identify changes in the usage of language, reflecting changes in social values related to working life.
