Where Does The Time Go? An Investigation Of Self-Reported Time Allocation, Cory Stanton
Where Does The Time Go? An Investigation Of Self-Reported Time Allocation, Cory Stanton
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Depression is recognized as a substantial contributor to the global burden of disease, as well as economic productivity. Behavioral activation has been shown to be an efficacious treatment for depression, drawing on the work of early behavioral theorists and research on the quantitative matching law. Recently, scholars have called for increased theoretical rigor in conceptualizing psychological health, as well as increased conceptual and methodological dialogue between basic and applied researchers. The present study examined the validity of a novel self-report measure of time allocation, an extension of the matching law. A cross-sectional sample of 204 undergraduate psychology students completed measures …
How Do Parent-Child Relationships Relate To Attention, Executive Functioning, & Working Memory In School-Aged Children?, Miriam Goldstein
How Do Parent-Child Relationships Relate To Attention, Executive Functioning, & Working Memory In School-Aged Children?, Miriam Goldstein
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This study examined how parent-child relationships may facilitate children’s higher-order cognition. A cross-sectional design was used to examine the relationship between positive and negative parenting factors and both neuropsychological and parent-report measures of children’s executive functioning (EF), attention, and working memory. Participants included ninety 8- to 12-year-old children and their parents. Though parenting was largely unrelated to neuropsychological performance, several positive and negative parenting dimensions were associated with parent ratings of children’s attention, EF, and working memory. Relational frustration and parental involvement were robust predictors of child difficulties with inattention and EF, controlling for relevant covariates. Though the causal direction …
Relations Among Dimensions Of Emotion Regulation And Aggressive Behavior, Jessica M. Baker
Relations Among Dimensions Of Emotion Regulation And Aggressive Behavior, Jessica M. Baker
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
In the absence of the ability to adaptively regulate one’s emotions, individuals may turn to impulsive and maladaptive methods of regulation, including engaging in aggressive behavior. Gratz and Roemer’s (2004) model of emotion regulation (Multidimensional assessment of emotion regulation and dysregulation: Development, factor structure, and initial validation of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment, 26(1), 41-54) includes the dimensions of nonacceptance, difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity. This study sought to identify the relations among these dimensions and …
The Relationships Between Parenting Factors And Parental Sensitivity To The Child's Depression, Sara Thompson
The Relationships Between Parenting Factors And Parental Sensitivity To The Child's Depression, Sara Thompson
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
Parenting, and its effects on a child, has been an area of interest in psychology for many years. By studying parental attachment, parenting confidence, and other parenting aspects, we get a better understanding of how the parent-child relationship functions. This study will utilize children's self reports of their depression and the parents' reports of their child's depression, to examine parental attachment and parenting confidence and how those two factors relate to the parent's sensitivity to their child's depression. The results from this study have possible implications for how to better structure the child's home environment, how to help the child …
Application Of Learned Industriousness Theory To Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Examining The Effect Of Effort Training On Task Engagement, Aimee M. Giammittorio
Application Of Learned Industriousness Theory To Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Examining The Effect Of Effort Training On Task Engagement, Aimee M. Giammittorio
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a form of acquired brain injury that impacts millions of individuals annually. The severity of TBI can range from mild to moderate and severe, with moderate to severe injuries associated with significant and prolonged impairment within cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning domains. Moderate to severe TBI, thus, has long-lasting effects that demand life-long accommodations and care. Many behavioral interventions aim to compensate for skill deficits, but these techniques increase reliance on external cues and may not serve to enhance internal, self-motivated action. Interventions that aim to improve internal motivation are therefore desirable, but are lacking …
Identifying Risk For Atypical Parenting Behavior Using Prenatal Profiles Of Interpersonal Trauma Experiences And Ptsd Symptoms, Katherine L. Guyon-Harris
Identifying Risk For Atypical Parenting Behavior Using Prenatal Profiles Of Interpersonal Trauma Experiences And Ptsd Symptoms, Katherine L. Guyon-Harris
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Experiences of interpersonal trauma and symptoms of PTSD greatly impact the ability to form and maintain meaningful relationships, which is especially problematic during the perinatal period due to the formation of the mother-child relationship. Interpersonal trauma and symptoms of PTSD present considerable risk for the emergence of a concerning class of “atypical” maternal behaviors (e.g., contradictory communication, sexualized/role reversed behavior, and severe withdrawal) that have serious implications for child social-emotional development. However, past research has focused primarily on how maternal experiences of childhood maltreatment and, to a lesser extent, PTSD symptom severity, predict atypical parenting behaviors. The present study aimed …
Exploration Of Cultural Values As A Moderator Of The Relationship Between Emotion Suppression And Risky Behaviors, Alissa Sneed
Exploration Of Cultural Values As A Moderator Of The Relationship Between Emotion Suppression And Risky Behaviors, Alissa Sneed
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
The present study examined the relationship between emotion suppression, cultural values, and engagement in risky behaviors. The literature supports that emotion suppression is related to engagement in a variety of risky behaviors, but this may vary as a function of cultural values. That is, emotion suppression is relatively normative in certain cultures and may therefore not predict involvement in risky behavior for individuals from such groups. Therefore, the present study aimed to understand how emotion suppression and cultural values may interact in terms of their relationship with engagement in risky behaviors. The study also sought to investigate how engaging in …
