Coping And Assumptive World Views: Comparing Parents Of Murdered Children And Parents Of Missing/Returned Children In The Management Of Their Grief, Miriam Joy Anderson
Coping And Assumptive World Views: Comparing Parents Of Murdered Children And Parents Of Missing/Returned Children In The Management Of Their Grief, Miriam Joy Anderson
Dissertations
This study investigates the relationship between psychological coping, religious coping, and assumptive world views of parents of murdered children and parents of missing/returned children. The latter group refers to parents who had a missing child who was returned prior to participating in the study. A sample of 82 parents of murdered children and 14 parents of missing/returned children completed a series of self-report measures assessing grief, coping, and assumptive world views. Due to statistical power limitations in the missing/returned group, proposed hypotheses were examined using only data from parents of murdered children. The hypothesis that longer time since the event …
Emotional Response Patterns And Emotional Numbing In Adult Female Victims Of Sexual Assault With Ptsd, Tristan A. Robinson
Emotional Response Patterns And Emotional Numbing In Adult Female Victims Of Sexual Assault With Ptsd, Tristan A. Robinson
Dissertations
DSM symptoms of emotional numbing appear to have a major impact on the course and outcome of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet the construct definition of emotional numbing itself has not been clearly established. Two opposing conceptualizations of this construct have been proposed in the traumatic stress literature. One holds numbing to be a form of non-effortful emotional avoidance, akin to dissociation, that results in diminished responsiveness to emotional stimuli in general (Foa, Zinbarg, & Rothbaum, 1992; Foa & Hearst-Ikeda, 1996). The other suggests that numbing entails a deficit in responsiveness to positive emotional stimuli but not to negative emotional …
Consistency Of Written Trauma Narratives Over A Course Of Trauma-Focused Therapy, Juliette Marissa Mott
Consistency Of Written Trauma Narratives Over A Course Of Trauma-Focused Therapy, Juliette Marissa Mott
Dissertations
Several of the procedures commonly used in trauma-focused therapies are similar to techniques that have been shown to influence the consistency and accuracy of memory in experimental settings. These techniques include verbalizing a non-verbal memory, repeatedly recalling an event, and recalling an event in the presence of another person. In an effort to examine the impact of such techniques on memory for a traumatic event, and in turn the impact of traumatic memory change on treatment outcome, the present study examined changes in written trauma narratives created over the course of trauma-focused therapy. Participants were PTSD-positive female survivors of interpersonal …
Defining The Balance-Supportive Supervisor: The Antecedents, Actions, And Outcomes Of Supervisor Support For Employee Work-Nonwork Balance, Jessalyn L. Arnold
Defining The Balance-Supportive Supervisor: The Antecedents, Actions, And Outcomes Of Supervisor Support For Employee Work-Nonwork Balance, Jessalyn L. Arnold
Dissertations
Work-nonwork conflict remains a crucial concern for both employees struggling to balance work and non-work roles (Bond, Thompson, Galinsky, & Prottas, 2002) and companies seeking to enhance their ability to attract, retain, and leverage talent (De Janasz & Behson, 2007; Towers & Perrin, 2006). Research has demonstrated that factors such as supervisor support for work-nonwork balance can reduce employees’ experience of work-nonwork conflict. Few studies, however, have investigated the individual characteristics of supervisors who are most likely to provide work-nonwork support. This study extends previous research by investigating the relationships between supervisors’ identity salience, work-nonwork support attitudes, and perceptions of …
Pregnant Job Applicants And Employment Interviews: The Consequences Of Stigmatization And Absenteeism And An Examination Of Strategies To Overcome Them
Dissertations
Discrimination against pregnant applicants may be partially explained by concerns about a pregnant employee missing work and possibly quitting (Cunningham & Macan, 2007). The purpose of the first study is to explore further the notion that pregnant applicants receive less favorable reactions during the selection process due in large part to concerns regarding potential absenteeism. This study explores whether applicants who need an equivalent amount of time off, but for different reasons, are perceived and rated similarly as a pregnant applicant. The results showed that all applicants requesting time off, regardless of reason, received less favorable hiring ratings compared to …
An "Uneasy Look At Performance Appraisal": Beliefs About Performance Appraisal Outcomes, Cognitive Appraisals, And Emotions As Antecedents Of Upward Rating Distortion, Shirley Ann Ashauer
An "Uneasy Look At Performance Appraisal": Beliefs About Performance Appraisal Outcomes, Cognitive Appraisals, And Emotions As Antecedents Of Upward Rating Distortion, Shirley Ann Ashauer
Dissertations
The face-to-face feedback element of performance appraisal has been described as the “Achilles’ heel” of the entire process. Specifically, the upward distortion of ratings made for feedback purposes is believed to be a pervasive effect. Two studies were conducted to explore factors to help understand the upward distortion of ratings that must be fed back – the first using a survey design from actual work settings and the second conducted as a laboratory experiment. Findings in the first study revealed that, regardless of feedback valence, upward rating distortion was minimized as positive emotions and supervisor beliefs of beneficial outcomes increased, …
