Establishing A Basis For Multi-System Collaboration: Systemic Team Development, Rosalyn M. Bertram
Establishing A Basis For Multi-System Collaboration: Systemic Team Development, Rosalyn M. Bertram
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Reports of child sexual abuse require police, child protective services, forensic and medical evaluators, prosecutors, family court and treatment providers to negotiate complementary, overlapping roles with children and families. Administrators from these agencies in Kansas City, Missouri clarified this multi-system response by applying a theory-based model for team development previously studied in direct practice with families. This article presents that model and an exploratory case study of this effort. Findings suggest the model's efficacy for resolving inter-agency conflict and may contribute to constructing logic models in multi-system collaboration

To Play Or Not To Play: Comparing Athlete’S Gpa To Non-Athlete’S Gpa, Lisa Clark, David Kanning
To Play Or Not To Play: Comparing Athlete’S Gpa To Non-Athlete’S Gpa, Lisa Clark, David Kanning
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
This study examines whether participating in athletics at Lindenwood University is related to the athlete’s GPA. It was hypothesized that due to the higher demands of coaches and maintaining a minimum GPA, athletes will have a higher GPA than non-athletes. The researchers contacted professors and coaches to ask permission to survey their students and athletes. After giving a survey to participants, the Lindenwood University Registrar’s Office looked up official GPAs of participants who gave their permission. The findings showed no significance supporting our hypothesis. There are several possible reasons for this weak correlation such as the number of participants and …
Church Doctrine: Effects On The Self-Worth Of Married Women, Mary Claire Kondro
Church Doctrine: Effects On The Self-Worth Of Married Women, Mary Claire Kondro
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
This study examines if married women who attend churches that teach patriarchal marriage roles have lower self-esteem than married women who attend churches that teach egalitarianism in marriage. Forty participants from two churches were administered the Contingencies of Self-Worth Survey (Crocker, 2003). Although the difference in self-esteem between the two groups was not found to be statistically significant, this study brought to light several issues that could be better controlled in a large-scale study in the future.

Can’T Test This: Test Performance And Anxiety, Brian Judd, Danielle Merli, Jamie Zagar
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
We analyzed test anxiety with performance on a standardized test. We had four groups of participants. We looked at two variables: time warning and presence of a confederate. We hypothesized that the performance of participants in a more natural test environment (testing in the presence of another test taker, i.e., the confederate) would perform worse than those who were tested by themselves, and that those who received a time warning would perform worse than those who did not receive a time warning. Those with a higher GPA would have performed better overall on the test. There was not a significant …
Implicit And Explicit Self-Esteem And Their Correlations With Codependency, Rachel N. Rogers
Implicit And Explicit Self-Esteem And Their Correlations With Codependency, Rachel N. Rogers
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The present study examined the correlations between implicit and explicit self-esteem and codependency. Implicit self-esteem involves automatic, over-learned self-evaluations and explicit self-esteem refers to conscious feelings of one’s self. It was predicted that participants who scored higher on the implicit self-esteem measure would score lower on the codependency scale, regardless of scores on the explicit self-esteem scale. Participants engaged in a timed task involving me/not-me primes and positive/negative words to measure implicit self-esteem. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Spann-Fischer Codependency Scale were used to measure explicit self-esteem and codependency, respectively. Should a strong negative correlation be found between codependency …
Overattribution Effect, Sally Eimer
Overattribution Effect, Sally Eimer
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of judgments undergraduate students made regarding a child’s behavior they observed in a brief video clip. Their attributions were expected to be affected by a key situational factor that only some were informed of. The researcher hypothesized that participants informed that the child, in the clip, was recently diagnosed with leukemia would attribute the child’s behavior to situational factors, whereas participants not given any information about the child in the clip, would attribute the child’s behavior to things intrinsic of the child.

Red Bull Marketing Techniques, Jennifer Hogenmiller, Kailey Steuber
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The differences in marketing techniques using the product Red Bull Energy Drink was investigated in this research project. Three techniques were used: the participant was read aloud information, the participant read information from a pamphlet, and the participant was shown a power point presentation. These techniques were tested to discover whether the marketing technique influenced the consumer purchase of the product. 64 participants were tested, but only 31 participants’ data was used. Many participants’ data had to be excluded due to factors of affiliation and missing data. After conducting a one-way ANOVA, we did find statistical significance between the presentation …

Is Bigger Better Or Is Less More? : American Compared To Non-American Consumption Habits, Amanda Bratcher, Sofia Aneas, Jesus Lopez
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if American participants compared to non-Americans participants would choose a bigger consumable item regardless of its cost when asked to choose between a smaller and larger item. Participants were shown a series of items that consisted of five pairings of two different-sized consumable items and asked to state their preference after each set of items was presented. This process was administered one time with pricing information of the items made known to the participants and one time without pricing information, counterbalancing of pricing information was utilized. The results concluded that price did …

How Lindenwood Students Get To Class: A Study Of Driving Versus Walking, Sara Ohlms
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a lack of parking at Lindenwood University (LU), and if that problem could be solved if more students who currently drive to class would walk instead. Research shows that college students in America are not getting enough exercise, and that walking has many health benefits. Data were collected using a survey with 40 LU students. Data were also collected through observations of the parking lots on campus. The results show that there are always empty parking spots on campus, 67.5% of participants believe that there is not enough parking …
Does The Type Of Crime Determine If An Image Of A Certain Criminal Is Pictured?, Amanda Vance
Does The Type Of Crime Determine If An Image Of A Certain Criminal Is Pictured?, Amanda Vance
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
People have culturally been inclined to visualize a perpetrator simply based on the description of the crime. This experiment seeks to determine if a generalized criminal is expressed by the survey group for each crime. Simply put, it will identify if there exists a similar stereotype for each crime described. Each participant completed a questionnaire to identify their demographics. Next was given five crimes which were about robbery, shooting, rape, stolen identity, and murder to read over with the victim and location information omitted. Participants were asked to visualize and describe the perpetrator in each crime scene. The results concluded …
Can Normal Habits Affect Gpa?, Jessica Hildebrand, Regina Thurman
Can Normal Habits Affect Gpa?, Jessica Hildebrand, Regina Thurman
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
We wanted to see if there was a correlation between sleep and/or caffeine and students’ grade point average (GPA). To do this we surveyed 101 Lindenwood undergraduate students. We asked them how much caffeine they consumed in a day, how much sleep they get within a seven day period, and their GPA, as well as basic demographic questions. Our study found that there was a weak negative relationship between sleep and GPA whereas no relationship between caffeine consumption and GPA. We conclude that since no relationship has been found, we have made suggestions on how to investigate further given some …
Gender Strength Implications And Its Effects On Task Performance, Chelsea Schumacher
Gender Strength Implications And Its Effects On Task Performance, Chelsea Schumacher
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
Throughout the history of research, there has been an immense interest regarding gender differences. Not only have variations in gender been observed through various social and physiological factors, but through cognitive factors as well. When reviewing previous research studies, it is evident that gender variations exist even when performing simple memory tasks. In the present study, the experimenter investigated whether implying opposing gender strength would have an effect on recall test performance. It was hypothesized that an individual would be motivated to perform more accurately on a recall test when opposing gender strength implications were introduced. When analyzing the results …
Urban Vs. Rural Work Ethic, Lindsey D. Geeding
Urban Vs. Rural Work Ethic, Lindsey D. Geeding
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The present study was conducted in order to see if there were any differences in work ethic between urban and rural areas in the St. Louis, Metropolitan area. The subjects were recruited from the Lindenwood University faculty and students. The subjects were given a questionnaire created by the researcher, and a survey created by Mirles and Garrett (1997). As the results showed, there were not enough participants gathered to show significance. However, the results did show that students seem to have a stronger work ethic than faculty.
The Legacies Of Lindenwood: A Survey Of What Female Graduates Did After College, Elizabeth Dalton
The Legacies Of Lindenwood: A Survey Of What Female Graduates Did After College, Elizabeth Dalton
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
This project looked at the women who graduated from Lindenwood College in the years 1955, 1965, 1975, and 1985 to see whether or not they used their degrees outside of the home. The hypothesis that more women would use their degrees outside of the home as a result of social changes as the decades increased was not supported as the trend began to decrease with the 1975 class.

A Behavior Based Approach To Improving Safety In A Manufacturing Facility, Laura G. Kreager
A Behavior Based Approach To Improving Safety In A Manufacturing Facility, Laura G. Kreager
Modern Psychological Studies
Behavior-based safety has flourished in organizations committed to changing and improving their safety programs. Through the programs, organizations are focusing their attention on the individual behaviors of employees to decrease the number of accidents occurring within the organization; thus, improving the safety record. The current study analyzes the effect of a behaviorally based safety intervention, comprised of four components, on the number of accidents occurring at a local manufacturing facility over a time span of 18 months. Based on a timeseries analysis, using an ARIMA model, results indicated a statistically significantly reduction in the number of accidents by 75.6% (p < .05) after the implementation of the intervention.
Examining The Relationship Between Proactive Personality And Career Success, Jeremy Owens
Examining The Relationship Between Proactive Personality And Career Success, Jeremy Owens
Modern Psychological Studies
With increasing levels of employee autonomy and responsibility in today's workforce, proactive behavior and the performance of discretionary, extra-role work behaviors are becoming vital to effective organizational functioning. This study examined how proactive personality relates to career success through extra-role behaviors including innovation, contextual performance, and organizational citizenship behavior by surveying 302 employees from a large manufacturing organization. Hierarchical regression and multiple mediation analyses showed that the relationship between proactive personality and career success is at least partially influenced by indirect effects via extra-role behaviors, even after controlling for demographic and personality variables (age, sex, and FFM traits).

Defining Roles In The Online Classroom To Assure Learning, Chris Ponder Ii
Modern Psychological Studies
The emergence of the internet has provided the opportunity for universities to begin offering online courses. As more students seek flexibility in education delivery, the greater the need becomes for online learning, which may result in developing courses that do not promote assurance of learning. This paper will explore how assurance of learning can take place in the online courseroom by evaluating student, instructor, and instructional design readiness for online learning, as well as defining the role of how each can promote assurance of learning utilizing reflective questions.
Same, But Different: Understanding Asians' Attitudes Towards Affirmative Action, Luisa J. Maun, Brian J. O'Leary
Same, But Different: Understanding Asians' Attitudes Towards Affirmative Action, Luisa J. Maun, Brian J. O'Leary
Modern Psychological Studies
Organizations often use affirmative action plans to increase demographic diversity, but, the success of these plans depends on employee attitudes. Attitudes toward affirmative action differ among racial groups, with Blacks having more favorable attitudes than Hispanics, Asians, and Whites (e.g., Bell, Harrison, & McLaughlin, 1997). To correct a paucity of literature that includes a large Asian American sample, Asian participants from various ethnicities, such as Indian, Filipino, and Vietnamese, (N = 181) completed several online questionnaires at surveymonkey.com about affirmative action attitudes (Attitude Towards Affirmative Action Scale), collectivism/individualism (Triandis & Gelfand, 1998) , and ethnic identity (Multigroup Measure of Ethnic …
The Importance Of Early Intervention: Treatments For Conduct Disorder Versus Treatments For Antisocial Personality Disorder, Lindsay J. Buck
The Importance Of Early Intervention: Treatments For Conduct Disorder Versus Treatments For Antisocial Personality Disorder, Lindsay J. Buck
Modern Psychological Studies
This literature review focuses on both medicinal and therapeutic treatment options for Conduct Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Conduct Disorder is considered a precursor to Antisocial Personality Disorder, and research on the treatment of both of these disorders suggests that early intervention, during childhood and adolescence, is the most promising treatment option for people diagnosed with Conduct Disorder. Medicinal treatments for Conduct Disorder that are discussed within this literature review are lithium, methylphenidate, and risperidone, while the therapeutic treatments reviewed are parent management training and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Less encouraging research results have been found for the treatment of Antisocial Personality …

The Effects Of Acquaintance Versus Stranger Rape And Gender On Rape Myth Acceptance And Attitudes Toward Rape In College Students, Shellie Patscheck, Sharon Shears
Modern Psychological Studies
This original empirical experiment assessed effects of acquaintance versus stranger rape and gender on rape myth acceptance and attitudes toward rape in college students. Participants read hypothetical scenarios depicting acquaintance or stranger rape, and then completed modified versions of Burt's Rape Myth Acceptance Scale and Feild's Attitudes Toward Rape Scale. Based on previous research, we predicted that males would demonstrate more negative attitudes and would be more supportive of rape myth acceptance than females. In addition, given the relative lack of previous literature on this topic, we predicted that the two conditions for type of rape would be different, but …
"It's All One Big Circle": Welfare Discourse And The Everyday Lives Of Urban Adolescents, Staci T. Lowe
"It's All One Big Circle": Welfare Discourse And The Everyday Lives Of Urban Adolescents, Staci T. Lowe
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Welfare reform succeeded, in part, because of discourse that characterized the poverty problem as one of long-term dependency and personal irresponsibility. Adolescent pregnancy was targeted as both cause and manifestation of a welfare crisis. This study examined how welfare reform was perceived and experienced by lowincome, urban adolescents. Findings from interviews revealed that adolescents agreed with many of the basic tenets of welfare reform, largely because they had appropriated much of the discourse prevalent in wider society. However, their complex life stories contained a powerful subtext concerning structural determinants of poverty that ran counter to prevailing notions of "personal responsibility."
The Effect Of Psychological Skills Training On Competitive State Anxiety In Collegiate Swimmers, Shea H. Davisson
The Effect Of Psychological Skills Training On Competitive State Anxiety In Collegiate Swimmers, Shea H. Davisson
Modern Psychological Studies
The present study examined the effects of psychological skills training on competitive state anxiety, as measured by the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2). Participants were 60 swimmers from an intercollegiate Division III team who were randomly assigned to a control, goal setting, imagery, or relaxation group. One hour prior to the first competition of the season, participants completed the CSAI-2. Over the following 5 weeks, participants engaged in 10 sessions of psychological skills training. A control group received no training. All participants completed the CSAI-2 again, one hour prior to competition in a final swim meet. It was hypothesized that …

What Are Public Views On Using Video To Deter Crime And Consumer Fraud?, Ada W.J. Chan, Shani Rumaldo, Robert Emmons
Modern Psychological Studies
Since 1978, Nassau County NY has pioneered the use of "video stings" to protect the public from a wide variety of dishonest behaviors—with appliance repair, auto repair, home contractors, insurance sales, chiropractors, and even internet pedophiles (Lambert, 1997). Surprisingly, though this has been a model for a few other municipalities, neither Nassau County nor others have conducted systematic research on how the public regards this unusual policy (Wrightsman, Greene, Nietzel & Fortune, 2002). In this survey, 114 people completed an anonymous structured 18-item survey containing 3 scales: their support of video stings (0-28), their familiarity with past media reports of …
Automatic Vigilance: Does Emotional State Affect Search Times For Positively And Negatively Valenced Targets?, Stephen Long
Automatic Vigilance: Does Emotional State Affect Search Times For Positively And Negatively Valenced Targets?, Stephen Long
Modern Psychological Studies
Recent research has suggested that specific emotions, such as fear, may impact visual acuity (Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006). To see if emotion can influence higher order perceptions, an affective priming visual search task (APVST) was used to examine the effect of either fear or joy on participants' ability to find an associated search stimulus. A face showing either fear or joy was presented to induce a mood state, and participants searched for either a spider or a flower in a wooded background. It was found that search times were faster for the spider, but mood induction seemed to have …
Enhancing Decision Making By Implementing Likelihood Alarm Technology In Integrated Displays, Rylan M. Clark, Ernesto A. Bustamente
Enhancing Decision Making By Implementing Likelihood Alarm Technology In Integrated Displays, Rylan M. Clark, Ernesto A. Bustamente
Modern Psychological Studies
Complex environments with automated systems, such as aircraft cockpits and nuclear control rooms, require critical decisions to be made about human intervention. Human monitors operating in these roles must interact with copious amounts of information. Decision support tools within integrated displays, especially alarms, aid people in monitoring these systems by capturing their attention to focus on possibly dangerous conditions. Once signaled, monitors choose whether they wish to acknowledge the alarm and search for more process status, or ignore it. This study investigates the impact of likelihood alarm technology versus traditional binary alarms on decision making accuracy and response bias in …
