This study is a Narrative Analysis of the hidden strengths and positive qualities inherent to identified psychiatric diagnosis. Seven individuals were interviewed on two occasions and also corresponded with me via email and telephone. Analysis of individual narratives yielded common thematic elements and common plot points, these factors were further analyzed and contemplated in the light of their implications for the Counseling profession. an informed critique of the research design is presented, followed by implications and suggestions for future research.
Distinguishing Between Goosebumps, Tingling, Coldness, And Shivers According To Affective Composition, Lena Marie Wadsworth
Distinguishing Between Goosebumps, Tingling, Coldness, And Shivers According To Affective Composition, Lena Marie Wadsworth
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
"The chills" refers to a set of bodily sensations – goosebumps, tingling, coldness, and shivers – that accompany emotion. Maruskin, Thrash and Elliot (2012) identified two higher order clusters of chills sensations that differed in affective tone. "Goosetingles" tend to accompany positive emotions, tend to be elicited by reward-related stimuli, and enhance feelings of closeness with others. "Coldshivers" tend to accompany negative emotions, tend to be elicited by threat-related stimuli, and enhance feelings of social isolation. Factor analyses have also identified four lower order factors of chills (goosebumps, tingling, coldness, and shivers), but validity research has not established distinct nomological …
The Effects Of Mating Strategy On Religiosity: Church Attendance As A Mating Strategy Component And The Role Of Religious Belief., Jacob Thomas Henicheck
The Effects Of Mating Strategy On Religiosity: Church Attendance As A Mating Strategy Component And The Role Of Religious Belief., Jacob Thomas Henicheck
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Contrary to traditional theories that religious morals influence sexual attitudes, recent research has found that controlling for sexual attitudes largely reduces associations between various moral views and religiosity. Based on these findings, the reproductive religiosity model was proposed in which being sexually restricted leads individuals to increase their religious involvement. However, the model a) does not account for religious belief and b) claims that sexual behavior mediates the effect of various variables on church attendance without employing a mediation model. to address these points, this study tests reproductive variables in a multiple regression to examine their ability to independently predict …
Measuring Hypodescent In The Social Categorization Of Multiracial Targets, Matthew Steven Preda
Measuring Hypodescent In The Social Categorization Of Multiracial Targets, Matthew Steven Preda
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Individuals of multiracial descent are often categorized and perceived as belonging to the socially subordinate (i.e. non-White) racial group, according to the rule of hypodescent, a product of the history of racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. This paper describes two studies of racial categorization which illustrate the importance of hypodescent in the social categorization of ambiguous multiracial targets. Hypodescent was observed among both Black and White observers (Studies 1 and 2), suggesting that societally enforced rules about racial categories affect individuals' decisions about the category membership of others. in Study 2, hypodescent was measured using a self-report …
Psychophysiology Of The Stress Response And The Hierarchical Structure Of Emotional Disorders, Molly Penrod
Psychophysiology Of The Stress Response And The Hierarchical Structure Of Emotional Disorders, Molly Penrod
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Physiological stress reactivity is closely linked to emotional disorders like depression and anxiety and is believed to play a causal role in their development. Similar patterns of exaggerated reactivity across a wide range of emotional disorders indicate that physiological hyperreactivity to stress may be a multifinal, or shared, risk factor for these disorders. However, current literature examines stress reactivity in only one or two disorders at a time and is based off categorical classification systems that assume mental disorders to be discrete entities. Recent research into the observed distribution of symptoms of mental illness contests this assumption and proposes that …
Motive-Goal Congruence, Imagination, And Well-Being: A Longitudinal Analysis With A Structural Equation Model, Yoon Young Sim
Motive-Goal Congruence, Imagination, And Well-Being: A Longitudinal Analysis With A Structural Equation Model, Yoon Young Sim
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The purpose of this study was to 1) examine individual differences in, and the 2) temporal precedence among, the motive-goal congruence, imagination, and well-being. I hypothesized that participants high in congruence will be high in spontaneous imagination and well-being assessments. For the temporal precedence, I proposed motive-goal congruence precedes spontaneous imagination and that spontaneous imagination precedes well-being. I employed the random intercepts cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM), the statistical model in which fully separate the within-person level from the between-person level. the current research partially supported the hypotheses with its detection of between-person level difference. Some possible reasons for the lack …
Parent And Friend Emotion Socialization As Correlates Of Adolescent Eating Behavior, Margaret Eileen Cameron
Parent And Friend Emotion Socialization As Correlates Of Adolescent Eating Behavior, Margaret Eileen Cameron
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Eating disorders and disordered eating affect about half a million teenagers in the United States. Restrained eating is a type of disordered eating behavior where individuals limit their food intake to avoid weight gain, maintain their current weight, or lose weight. Although researchers have examined numerous predictors of this eating style, there are gaps in the literature related to the role of emotion socialization on restrained eating. Parents and peers continually interact with adolescents; as such, both groups often witness adolescents’ emotion expressivity behaviors. They can respond supportively or unsupportively and these responses contribute to adolescents’ emotion regulation strategies. The …
Dissociating Alzheimer’S Disease From Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Time-Frequency Based Eeg Neurometrics, Wendel Matthew Friedl
Dissociating Alzheimer’S Disease From Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Time-Frequency Based Eeg Neurometrics, Wendel Matthew Friedl
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
This work explores the utility of using magnitude (ERSP), phase angle (ITPC), and cross-frequency coupling (PAC) indices derived from electroencephalogram (EEG) recording using spectral decomposition as unique biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), respectively. The experimental protocol was a visual oddball discrimination task conducted during a brief (approximately 20 minute) recording session. Participants were 60 older adults from an outpatient memory clinic diagnosed with either aMCI (n=29; M=73.0; SD=9.32) or AD (n=31; M=78.29; SD=8.28) according to NIA-AA criteria. Results indicate that ITPC values differ significantly between AD and MCI groups. Findings contribute to a growing …
The Serving Supervisor: Supervisor Servant Leadership As A Protective Factor For Counseling Residents’ Burnout And Secondary Traumatic Stress, Colleen Grunhaus
The Serving Supervisor: Supervisor Servant Leadership As A Protective Factor For Counseling Residents’ Burnout And Secondary Traumatic Stress, Colleen Grunhaus
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
According to Stamm (2010), variables in counselors’ work environment, personal environment, and client environment precipitate the development of compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue, which comprises secondary traumatic stress and burnout, is an occupational hazard for counselors, and new counselors are especially vulnerable. A supervisory style that exhibits servant leadership traits may provide necessary support and counteract compassion fatigue symptoms for counseling residents. Servant leadership shares many philosophical assumptions of the counseling profession and addresses the administrative challenges many clinical supervisors face today (Evans, Wright, Murphy, & Maki, 2016). A sample of 241 counseling residents participated in the study and completed several …
