Summary:Introduces the articles appearing in this issue of Nordic Psychology. The first article “Sense of coherence and criminal offences among young males. Findings from the Finnish From a Boy to a Man study” by Terja Ristkari, Andre Sourander, John A Ronning, Henrik Elonheimo Hans Helenius and Raimo K.R. Salokangas is a study of the associations between sense of coherence (SOC) as defined by Antonovsky and young men’s criminal offences. The point of departure in Einar Gudmundsson and Sigurdur J. Gretarsson’s study “Comparison of mothers’ and fathers’ ratings of their children’s verbal and motor development” is that a number of developmental studies rely on information from parents about their children’s development. It is suggested that psychometric developmental rating scales may need separate norms for mothers and fathers. In their article “Making exams a manageable task” Ingrid Dundas, Bjørn Wormnes and Helge Hauge outline a study of how test-anxious university students could learn to manage examinations. In the article “Level of functioning in patients with borderline personality disorder. The Risskov-I study” Carsten René Jørgensen, Morten Kjølbye, Charlotte Freund, Rikke Bøye, Henning Jordet and Diane Andersen argue that borderline personality disorder is a highly heterogeneous illness.
