Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Sven Svebak er cand. psychol. (1970) og dr. philos. (1982). Han var ansatt på Det psykologiske fakultet ved Universitetet i Bergen i 26 år til han sluttet som professor i psykologi i 1994 for å bli professor i medisin ved Det medisinske fakultet i Trondheim (NTNU). Han er også professor i psykologi (bistilling) ved Høgskolen i Nord-Trøndelag siden 1996.
Hans forskning omfatter mestring av belastningslidelser og sammenhenger mellom sans for humor, stress og helse. I år 2000 ga han ut boka ¨Forlenger en god latter livet?¨ (Fagbokforlaget, Bergen). Den er en populærvitenskapelig fagbok for alle som arbeider med mennesker. Han har publisert ca. 200 vitenskapelige rapporter, de fleste i internasjonale tidsskrifter og fagbøker, og han har betydelig erfaring med populærvitenskapelig formidling gjennom ca. 2000 kurs og foredrag i Norge.
Svebak er Nordens pioner som ekspert på moderne polygrafteknikker for vurdering av troverdighet (løgntesting).
