The Significance Of Error Type In Text-Based Person Perception, John W. Harden
The Significance Of Error Type In Text-Based Person Perception, John W. Harden
Undergraduate Research Conference
Previous research has suggested that errors of spelling can somewhat negatively impact reader perceptions of an author's writing and cognitive abilities (e.g., Kreiner, Schnakenberg, Green, Costello, & McClin 2002; Harden, Johnson, West, & Lancaster 2009). Past research, however, has not take into account the differences inherent in certain error types. The current research sought to extend upon previous findings with the inclusion of a new error type. The new error type is referred to as an error of orthography, and is operationally defined as an error of spelling that might impact the context of the sentence to which it belongs …

Defining Intimacy In Diverse Asian Cultures, Blendine Hawkins, Katherine Herlein
Defining Intimacy In Diverse Asian Cultures, Blendine Hawkins, Katherine Herlein
Graduate Research Symposium (GCUA) (2010 - 2017)
America has continued to diversify as a nation, welcoming people from every race, culture and continent. The US Census Bureau (2004) reported that there were 13.5 million Asians in America and these numbers are increasing (US Census Bureau, 2004). This indicates that there is a greater demand for competent and effective mental health care to meet the needs of this heterogeneous group. Asian Americans can be best helped by a therapist who is sensitive, knowledgeable and has an understanding about the core values which are present in many Asian cultures. There are limited resources and treatment guides for this population …

Therapeutic Alliance And Client Satisfaction From The Client’S Perspective, Colleen Peterson, Armeda Stevenson, Katherine M. Hertlein, Stephen Fife
Graduate Research Symposium (GCUA) (2010 - 2017)
This was the second phase of a two phase mixed methodology study. Presented is the qualitative portion consisting of semi-structured phone interviews conducted with past clients in order to examine the relationship of the therapeutic alliance and client satisfaction with client retention and termination status.Findings were classified into three main categories: therapist characteristics, treatment structural characteristics and process characteristics.

Predictors Of Retention In Physical Therapy: Client-, Disease-, And Treatment-Related Factors, Marc A. Silva
Predictors Of Retention In Physical Therapy: Client-, Disease-, And Treatment-Related Factors, Marc A. Silva
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the study are to (1) document the incidence of veterans who prematurely terminate physical therapy before medically indicated, and (2) identify reliable predictors of treatment retention and attrition. The potential benefit of this study is the identification of reliable variables that predict who is at risk for terminating physical therapy prematurely, which may lead to targeted interventions designed to increase treatment retention. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study will be a retrospective design involving a review of medical records of veterans receiving referral to physical therapy. METHODOLOGY: Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) will be used to examine the effects …
The Impact Of Increased Treatment Intensity On A Parent And Child Therapy Program, Jennifer M. Carrasco
The Impact Of Increased Treatment Intensity On A Parent And Child Therapy Program, Jennifer M. Carrasco
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
While the literature suggests that the leading parent child therapy (PCT) programs effectively change parental behaviors, improve young children’s behavior problems, and stop the cycle of escalation and chronicity, it appears that treatment programs for behavior problems are not universally effective for those seeking treatment and may not meet the individual needs of all children and their families. Despite findings that treatment intensity predicts positive treatment outcomes (Medalia & Richardson, 2005) there is dearth of studies that examine treatment intensity in the context of PCT. To date, the role of treatment intensity in PCT programs is not known and the …
Training Students To Do In-Home Behavioral Therapy With Toddlers From Low-Income Families, Ryan Mattek
Training Students To Do In-Home Behavioral Therapy With Toddlers From Low-Income Families, Ryan Mattek
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
The purpose of this project was to develop an internship training program that offered in-home therapy for young children with significant emotional and behavior problems. The children lived in single-parent, low-income homes in unsafe neighborhoods of a large, urban area. A year-long, training and supervision program was implemented with ten second-year, graduate students enrolled in five different university programs that prepared mental health professionals. Students received specialized instruction in working with diverse families living in poverty and in an evidence-based treatment program. They initially observed veteran counselors implementing the treatment program in homes and gradually assumed responsibility for conducting sessions …
Traumatic Brain Injury Screening In Correctional Populations, Abigail A. Bernett
Traumatic Brain Injury Screening In Correctional Populations, Abigail A. Bernett
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
A small but growing body of research looking at the implications of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in correctional populations exists, and it suggests that TBI is a significant problem with serious implications. It appears that the rate of TBI in correctional populations may be significantly higher than that in the general population, and the experience of TBI may contribute to future criminality, violent behavior, poorer mental health, and poor institutional adjustment. However, the absence of a standardized methodology for screening for TBI limits the ability to generalize from the current research. What is needed for researching TBI in correctional populations …
Language Outcome After Left Anterior Temporal Lobectomy In Patients With Discordant Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging And Intracarotid Sodium Amobarbital Testing Results, Julie K. Janecek
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
Language Outcome after Left Temporal Anterior Lobectomy in Patients with Discordant Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Intracarotid Sodium Amobarbital Testing Results Rationale: Previous research has examined concordance rates between Wada and fMRI language lateralization indices (LIs) and has yielded variable results with limited post-surgical language outcome data. Therefore, additional evidence of the concurrent and predictive validity of fMRI LIs is needed. We will calculate Wada/fMRI LI concordance rates in the largest sample to date, investigate predictors of discordance and examine the ability of each procedure to predict language outcome in discordant cases. Methods: A consecutive series of 229 presurgical epilepsy …
Men Experiencing Homelessness: A Qualitative Investigation Of Multiple Stigmas, Rebecca C. Mayor
Men Experiencing Homelessness: A Qualitative Investigation Of Multiple Stigmas, Rebecca C. Mayor
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
Homelessness is a pervasive and problematic phenomenon. Unfortunately, programs designed to reduce or eliminate homelessness face a number of challenges. One such challenge involves difficulty engaging and retaining clientele who are experiencing homelessness in services. The literature suggests that one explanation for this difficulty involves the stigmatization experiences that individuals who are homeless accumulate over time. However, the relationship between stigmatization and the psychosocial functioning of individuals facing homelessness has rarely been investigated empirically, and it is unclear how well various theories of stigma apply to this unique population. The purpose of the current paper is to propose a grounded …

Late-Adolescents’ Perceptions Of The Affects Of Alcohol Use On Level Of Functioning, Rose Lucey, Ramona M. Bitanga, Annette M. Wilson
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
Late adolescence is a developmental transition period in which social/cultural factors, interpersonal factors and psycho-behavioral factors may lead to the establishment and continuity of problematic alcohol use behavior from late adolescence to early adulthood. The longitudinal research suggests that problematic alcohol use during late adolescence has a negative impact on an adolescent’s level of functioning and potentially later functioning in adulthood. However, the research is limited, in part due to a limited understanding of how an adolescent’s alcohol use affects their level of functioning. The purpose of this study was to improve our understanding of the affect of alcohol use …
Racial Conflicts In Schools, Michael J. Martinez
Racial Conflicts In Schools, Michael J. Martinez
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Research Exchange Conference
That racially motivated conflicts occur in schools is an indisputable fact that becomes evident upon review of both academic literature and popular media. Events such as the Jena 6 incident (Maxwell & Zehr, 2007), school wide racially motivated riots (latimes.com), and court rulings (theithican.org) are distressing examples that racial barriers are real and potentially dangerous for many students in this country. However, little is written about the nature of racial conflicts, including the actual process school leaders engage in when determining how or even whether to intervene in racial conflicts, and the affect those racial conflicts have on the school …
