Development Of A Three-Factor Model Of Psychological Ownership Of Country: Applications For Outgroup Attitudes And Citizenship Behaviors, Joshua D. Wright
Development Of A Three-Factor Model Of Psychological Ownership Of Country: Applications For Outgroup Attitudes And Citizenship Behaviors, Joshua D. Wright
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Mechanisms linking social identification to negative outgroup attitudes is a prevailing inspiration for research in intergroup relations. Psychological ownership—the possessive feeling that some object is ‘mine’ or ‘ours’—has been proposed as one possible mechanism. Social identification is a precursor to developing feelings of ownership over ideological spaces, such as countries or territories. Subsequently, ownership may drive negative outgroup attitudes through exhibition of one’s right to control the use of the ingroup’s space. Psychological ownership may also have positive roles in developing citizenship behaviors, such as through voting or buying ingroup national products. The following program of research tests these ideas. …
Understanding Stigma, Secrecy, And Sex In Cnm Relationships, Rhonda Balzarini
Understanding Stigma, Secrecy, And Sex In Cnm Relationships, Rhonda Balzarini
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Scholars have posited that the family system is becoming more diversified with increases in same-sex, mixed sex, and consensually non-monogamous relationships. While same-sex and mixed-sex relationships have received considerable attention, public and academic interest in consensually non-monogamous relationships have increased dramatically. Yet despite increased interest, little is known about the ways in which relationships with various partners in non-monogamous relationships differ, whether differences that emerge are influenced by experiences of stigma or the desired role of different partners, whether stigma was driven by one’s relationship orientation, and how individual’s sexual attitudes impact the decision to pursue consensually non-monogamous arrangements. This …
When Your Boo Becomes A Ghost: The Association Between Breakup Strategy And Breakup Role In Experiences Of Relationship Dissolution, Rebecca B. Koessler
When Your Boo Becomes A Ghost: The Association Between Breakup Strategy And Breakup Role In Experiences Of Relationship Dissolution, Rebecca B. Koessler
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Two studies examined ghosting, a unilateral breakup strategy that involves avoiding technologically-mediated contact with a partner instead of providing a verbal indication of the desire to break up. Study 1 solicited open-ended responses regarding experiences with ghosting and explored associations between ghosting and a variety of dispositional and situational variables. Study 2 investigated differences in the process of relationship dissolution and post-breakup outcomes as a function of breakup role (disengager or recipient) and breakup strategy (ghosting or direct conversation) across two samples. Recipients experienced greater distress and negative affect than disengagers, and ghosting disengagers reported the least amount of distress. …
"Mine" Or "Ours": Property And Moral Reasoning, Robert J. Nonomura
"Mine" Or "Ours": Property And Moral Reasoning, Robert J. Nonomura
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This research seeks to address long-standing empirical questions about human morality arising from the critical sociological tradition. It examines, in social-psychological terms, the theoretical contention that systems of ownership predicated on exclusionary conceptions of what is “mine” and/or “ours” causes people to overlook or decidedly ignore the needs of others and of society at large. More specifically, it draws upon the theoretical works of Karl Marx, Erich Fromm, Erik Erikson, and C. B. Macpherson to examine the relationships between individuals’ attitudes toward private property relations and the kinds of “active” or “passive” cognitive processes individuals use when reasoning about moral …
The Influence Of Romantic Rejection On Change In Ideal Standards, Ideal Flexibility, And Self-Perceived Mate Value, Nicolyn H. Charlot
The Influence Of Romantic Rejection On Change In Ideal Standards, Ideal Flexibility, And Self-Perceived Mate Value, Nicolyn H. Charlot
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Prior research has explored how ideal romantic standards are predictive of future partner characteristics, and how these standards change within relationships, but not how they develop in single individuals. The present study sought to determine whether repeated experiences of romantic rejection and acceptance over time would influence ideal standards and the related constructs of ideal flexibility and self-perceived mate value in a community sample (N = 211). As expected, experiences of rejection predicted decreases in ideal standards and self-perceived mate value, and increases in ideal flexibility. Experiences of acceptance did not have an effect. Gender and self-perceived mate value …
Social Experiences Of Youth Who Have Moved To New Schools, Ghalia Loutfi
Social Experiences Of Youth Who Have Moved To New Schools, Ghalia Loutfi
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
Newcomers to social groups may experience victimization depending on their ethnic background. The current study’s goal was to investigate whether ethnic minority newcomers to social groups are victimized more than newcomers who belong to ethnic majority. Eighty-one female participants completed several questionnaires about: ethnic background, victimization incidents, social support, personality traits, self-esteem, social anxiety and life satisfaction. Participants were divided based on whether they were newcomers and whether they belonged to an ethnic minority or ethnic majority. Newcomers who belong to ethnic majority were victimized more than ethnic minority, while newcomers belonging to ethnic minorities had significantly lower self-esteem and …
Self-Monitoring In Individualist And Collectivist Cultures, Sukayna Moosavi
Self-Monitoring In Individualist And Collectivist Cultures, Sukayna Moosavi
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
The current study investigated the influence of cultural orientation on self-monitoring. Participants were 40 female undergraduate students from Brescia University College who completed four questionnaires including a demographic questionnaire, Snyder’s (1974) Self-Monitoring scale, the Individualism and Collectivism Scale (Triandis & Gelfland, 1998), and the Self-Consciousness Scale (Scheier, M.F., & Carver, C. S. 2013). It was predicted that cultures that were more collectivist in orientation would score higher on the self-monitoring scale and that public self-conscious would facilitate these results. The results indicated that cultural orientation did not significantly relate to self-monitoring, however, public self-consciousness was found to have a …

Understanding Burnout In Undergraduate Students: The Role Of Social Media, Paige Walker
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
This study investigated different factors relating to undergraduate burnout and whether social media could act as a protective factor. The study group was comprised of 66 female undergraduate psychology students at Brescia University College. Participants completed one questionnaire with seven subscales which measured the following variables: subjective well-being, student subjective well-being, personality traits, social support, stress, online support, and burnout. The participants were divided into three groups based on their burnout scores. The results of the ANOVA indicated that there were significant differences between the three burnout groups on: subjective well-being, student subjective well-being, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness, social support, and …
Anxiety And Stress In First Year University Students, Kimberly Mccready
Anxiety And Stress In First Year University Students, Kimberly Mccready
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
The purpose of the study was two-fold: to confirm the finding that anxiety and stress increases as exams draw near, and to provide evidence that smokers will have greater increases in anxiety and stress than non-smokers, as well as increased smoking urges as exam draws near, to deal with the related increase in anxiety and stress. To investigate this, participants were asked to fill out the DASS-21 at three-time points (4 weeks, 2.5 weeks, and 1 week) before the Psychology 1000 midterm examination. Smoking urges of smokers was also to be assessed, however, due to lack of smoking participants, no …
