Adherence To Covid-19 Safety Guidelines As A Function Of Depression And Anxiety, Derek Berger
Adherence To Covid-19 Safety Guidelines As A Function Of Depression And Anxiety, Derek Berger
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
The entire world has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in a multitude of ways. This project aimed to identify if those experiencing depression and anxiety are more likely or less likely to follow mandated guidelines and safety procedures for COVID-19 than those who are undiagnosed. For the purposes of this project, guidelines and safety procedures were defined as receiving the COVID-19 vaccines, wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and avoiding social gatherings. Data were gathered through the construction and administration of a nationwide survey, and then depression and anxiety were correlated with each safety procedure separately. It was found …
Support For Screening And Intervening On Adolescent Depression: Provider-Reported Training Outcomes, Leah Rose Lalonde
Support For Screening And Intervening On Adolescent Depression: Provider-Reported Training Outcomes, Leah Rose Lalonde
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Given the potential consequences of untreated adolescent depression and the prevalence of untreated mental health among adolescents, the American Academy of Pediatrics has strongly recommended active support and monitoring of depressive symptoms in pediatric primary care. Primary care providers (PCPs), however, do not have sufficient training to provide this level of care, contributing to low rates of identification and management of depression. The purpose of the current pilot study was to evaluate a training aimed at supporting providers in the management of adolescent depression. Results demonstrated that providers were accepting of the training and that provider knowledge of depression management …
Mediating Effect Of Masculinity And Femininity On The Female Preponderance In Depression, Tara A. Baluck
Mediating Effect Of Masculinity And Femininity On The Female Preponderance In Depression, Tara A. Baluck
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Sex differences in major depressive disorder have been a consistent research finding, with women receiving a diagnosis nearly twice as often as men. A substantive amount of research has attempted to address this preponderance. One area that warrants further investigation is the role that gender, a social construct that, in part, refers to the degree to which one enacts traditionally masculine and/or feminine traits, may play in mediating the relationship between sex and depressive symptoms. Secondary data analysis was conducted using a previously collected sample of undergraduate students from a moderately sized Midwestern university. Measures include the Extended Personal Attributes …
Exploring Racial Ideology And Coping As Moderators Of The Association Between Experiencing Racial Microaggressions And Psychological Outcomes In Black College Student, Terrence Harper Ii
Exploring Racial Ideology And Coping As Moderators Of The Association Between Experiencing Racial Microaggressions And Psychological Outcomes In Black College Student, Terrence Harper Ii
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Recently, researchers have investigated how racial identity status attitudes may influence the relationship between experiencing racism and affective responses (i.e., it has been suggested that racial identity may act as a buffer against experiencing negative affect as a consequence of exposure to racial discrimination). While this question has received increased attention in recent years, this literature has not extensively examined this association with more current and refined conceptualizations of subtle discrimination (i.e., microaggressions) and racial ideology. Additionally, the impact of racial coping styles on this association has not yet been examined. As such, the purpose of this study was to …
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 …
Factors Related To Formal And Informal Help-Seeking For Perinatal Depressive Symptoms, Erin Henshaw
Factors Related To Formal And Informal Help-Seeking For Perinatal Depressive Symptoms, Erin Henshaw
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Effective treatment for maternal depression improves overall maternal functioning and prevents the negative infant outcomes associated with maternal depression (Verduyn et al., 2003). Despite the clear benefits associated with treatment for perinatal depression, less than one third of depressed women seek any form of treatment (Flynn et al, 2006). The Health Belief Model (HBM) has received some support for other health-promoting behaviors, but its relevance for explaining mental health help-seeking has not been adequately tested. This study adds to the literature by simultaneously providing a more comprehensive and adequate test of the HBM in predicting mental health treatment for depression …
The Factor Structure Of The Depressive Personality Disorder Inventory, Jude Chamberlain
The Factor Structure Of The Depressive Personality Disorder Inventory, Jude Chamberlain
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
The Depressive Personality Disorder Inventory (DPDI) was created by Dr. Steven Huprich to assess depressive personality in clinical and nonclinical samples. A statistical method called varimax factor analysis was used to compare DPDI scores of 851 individuals with scores on the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Resulting data showed the two measures were highly intercorrelated. Subsequent revisions were made to the DPDI to increase its utility as an assessment tool while also maintaining internal consistency.
