Predicting Sexual Satisfaction From Self-Objectification And Alcohol Consumption, Nicole M. Nelson
Predicting Sexual Satisfaction From Self-Objectification And Alcohol Consumption, Nicole M. Nelson
Psychology Theses
This study was conducted to examine if gender, self-objectification and alcohol consumption were predictors of sexual satisfaction. It was expected that females would self-objectify more than males and self-objectification would negatively relate to satisfaction. It was expected that drinking alcohol would also negatively relate to satisfaction. Undergraduate participants (n=235) who reported a heterosexual sexual encounter within the past three months completed an online survey. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted separately for males and females. It was found that gender was not a predictor of satisfaction; self-objectification did however negatively relate to sexual satisfaction for males and females, and alcohol …

Predictive Validity Of The Savry Within A Diverse Population Of Juvenile Offenders, Scarlet Paria Woods
Psychology Theses
The current study examined the predictive validity of the SAVRY in African American and White recently adjudicated juvenile offenders in Louisiana. The sample consists of 267 community-based, male juvenile offenders, whom were tracked for an average follow-up period of 18 months. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses on the overall sample and African Americans, specifically, showed the numeric score predicted recidivism. Chi-square analyses found the SRR did not have a significant relationship with reoffending for general recidivism petitions. However, it was significant for all other forms of recidivism in the overall sample and African Americans. Hierarchical Cox regressions identified significant differences …
The Camera’S Eye: Effects Of Video-Recording Perspectives And Double Blind Procedures On Perceptions Of Eyewitnesses And Lineup Administrators, Geno Salomone

To help reduce erroneous convictions associated with eyewitness error, video recording of the lineup procedure and identification has been recommended.

Double-Blind) X 4 (Perspective: Detective focus v. Eyewitness focus vs. Focus on Both v.

Eyewitnesses were perceived …

Evaluating Future Dangerousness And Need For Treatment: The Roles Of Expert Testimony, Attributional Complexity, And Victim Type, Kyle Gamache, Judith Platania, Matt Zaitchik
Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications
In the current study, we explored the effect of risk-assessment testimony, attributional complexity, and victim type on participants’ perceptions of the dangerousness of a sexually violent person and his need for treatment. Participants read details of a hypothetical sexual assault of a female minor and of an adult. Expert testimony of his risk assessment consisted of clinical opinion versus structured-clinical judgment (SCJ) versus actuarial assessment. Participants perceived clinical-opinion and SCJ testimony as equally influential when forming judgments of future dangerousness. In the context of treatment, however, participants relied on actuarial testimony when judging potential for risk. In addition, attributional complexity …
