Validating A Picture-Based Values Measure Across Three Studies, Jingyi Li, Lauren E. Postier, Kendall M. Mcgoey, Peter D. Cook
Validating A Picture-Based Values Measure Across Three Studies, Jingyi Li, Lauren E. Postier, Kendall M. Mcgoey, Peter D. Cook
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
While the importance of congruence between personal and organizational values to employees and organizations has been well established in the academic literature, existing values measures have shortcomings in applied settings. We have developed the Picture-Based Values Measure (PBVM) to measure Schwartz’s 19 refined basic individual values, resist faking, avoid construct contamination, and show cross-cultural relevance. In this research proposal, we intend to establish the psychometric properties of the PBVM across three studies. In Study 1, to examine convergent validity, 300 working adults will take both the PBVM and Revised Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ-RR) via Prolific. To examine discriminant validity, participants …
Who We Are In The World: An Investigation Into Psychology And Worldview, Zachary Swanson
Who We Are In The World: An Investigation Into Psychology And Worldview, Zachary Swanson
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
At the heart of Psychology is the search for understanding — understanding ourselves, understanding others, and understanding our places in the world. At one point or another a person comes to ask themselves fundamental questions about human life, like “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?” and “What will happen to me?” Although these questions are not usually asked out loud, these attempts to make meaning of our lives serve as a reference for our worldviews. In part 1, I take a theory-driven approach to address the questions “What is a worldview?”, and “How is worldview studied psychologically?” In part …

Total Rewards Or Totally Not What The People Want? Examining The Preferred Total Rewards Of Those At Home Vs. In The Workplace, Luke Ronchetti
Total Rewards Or Totally Not What The People Want? Examining The Preferred Total Rewards Of Those At Home Vs. In The Workplace, Luke Ronchetti
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
With the rapid change to remote work, the present study explored whether differing life circumstances (e.g., an at-home parent vs. an older male) changed reward preferences. The present study adds to the scarce total reward preference research by examining the moderating effect age, gender, and parental status have on the relationship between physical work location and total reward preference. Results indicated age to be a moderator of the relationship between work location and reward preference (benefits, work-life effectiveness, performance management, talent development), but gender and parental status were not significant moderators. Exploratory analyses were performed and found correlations between work …
Being Present For The Future: Exploring Mindfulness And Prospective Memory, Chris Nuño
Being Present For The Future: Exploring Mindfulness And Prospective Memory, Chris Nuño
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Although mindfulness research has become a trending topic in cognitive science, there is a gap in the literature that fails to explore the relationship between mindfulness and prospective memory (i.e., the ability to remember to execute a future intention). To explore this relationship, students in either a mindfulness condition or vocabulary control condition were asked to complete 10 self-concordant academic tasks (both time-based and nontime-based) over the course of five days. The percentage of academic tasks completed was calculated to measure prospective memory completion. Prospective memory performance was compared between groups and between task type. Trait mindfulness was also measured …
Does Cognitive Control Affect Successful "Sandbagging" Of Concussion Symptoms?, Melissa Materia
Does Cognitive Control Affect Successful "Sandbagging" Of Concussion Symptoms?, Melissa Materia
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The value of concussion baseline assessments is dependent upon athletes giving their best effort. If an athlete fakes poor performance or “sandbags”, a future injury may go undetected. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if the SportGait concussion baseline assessment detects differences between participants instructed to sandbag and those who are not. Furthermore, I examined whether participants’ cognitive control is related to their ability to fake poor performance on SportGait. Forty-four participants completed two cognitive control tasks, were randomly assigned to “sandbag” or do their best and completed the SportGait baseline concussion assessment. Results revealed that “sandbagging” …
When Helping Hurts: Understanding Resource Recovery In Nonprofit Workplaces, Anna Laura Waldron
When Helping Hurts: Understanding Resource Recovery In Nonprofit Workplaces, Anna Laura Waldron
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The present study examined the relationship between recovery experiences and strain within the nonprofit context, and identified the role that work calling, boundary permeability, and relaxation remorse had on recovery and the relationship between recovery and strain. Participants (n = 124 nonprofit workers and volunteers) completed a web-based survey that included questions related to their work-nonwork roles, personal recovery activities, and dimensions of strain. Regression-based analyses indicated effects of recovery on some strain outcomes and the effects of calling, boundary permeability, and relaxation remorse on recovery. Psychological detachment was most frequently related to strain in these models. Results failed to …
Do Age And Media Type Influence The Effects Of Pretrial Publicity On Verdicts?, Akera Williams
Do Age And Media Type Influence The Effects Of Pretrial Publicity On Verdicts?, Akera Williams
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Concerns about Pretrial Publicity (PTP) have grown with the rise of the internet and social media, leading to a near impossibility of selecting a jury that can ignore PTP and focus only on facts presented at trial. Previous research has shown participants exposed to negative PTP were more likely to find the defendant guilty, and tended to misattribute PTP as having been evidence presented during the trial. This study compared jury verdicts among older and younger jurors when PTP was presented in different media formats (text vs video). Results suggest both older and younger jurors tend to misattribute PTP information …
Belongingness Needs, Personality, And The Influence Of Virtual Socialization, Katrina Johnson
Belongingness Needs, Personality, And The Influence Of Virtual Socialization, Katrina Johnson
Honors Theses
Social belongingness is a part of everyday life. The purpose of this study was to learn more about how personality and the use of virtual socialization interact with feelings of belongingness and subjective well-being. The findings of this study indicate that belongingness and well-being are significantly and positively correlated with extraversion. We also found that belongingness and social media used for maintaining friendships were significantly correlated. Further, in a regression analysis, extraversion consistently and significantly positively predicted perceived belongingness. These findings suggest that personality and modality of socializing interact with perceived belongingness.
When The Goal Is To Be Less Stressed: A Naturalistic Investigation Of Academic And Self-Care Goal Completion, Stephanie Wells
When The Goal Is To Be Less Stressed: A Naturalistic Investigation Of Academic And Self-Care Goal Completion, Stephanie Wells
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The demands of college are synonymous with stress for many students, with stress generally being related to academic success and posing a challenge for academic goals and self-care behaviors. Individual difference factors such as resilience and need for cognition may impact this stress experience as well as academic and self-care behaviors. Prior to the current study, self-care had yet to be studied in the same context as academic goal completion. The results of the present research revealed that students were significantly better at completing academic goals versus self-care goals and that self-care goal completion predicted completion of academic goals. Further, …
Experiences Of Employees With Chronic Health Conditions During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Stephanie Penpek
Experiences Of Employees With Chronic Health Conditions During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Stephanie Penpek
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Although workers with chronic health conditions have received little attention in past Industrial-Organizational Psychology research, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought new concerns for the workplace safety of these employees. I applied the JD-R model to a sample of 143 workers with chronic conditions, looking at how prevalent demands and resources impacted levels of burnout and emotional well-being. Quantitative analyses supported that job demands (i.e., devaluation and job insecurity) were generally related to negative health outcomes, while job resources (i.e., support and flexibility) were related to better health outcomes. Results also indicated that the impact of demands and resources on health …

The Adaptation And Innovation Model Of Organizational Resilience, Daniel Desa
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The present study was designed to broaden the way researchers and practitioners of the organizational sciences conceptualize, measure, and ultimately work to improve the adaptability, innovativeness, and resilience of organizations. This involved identifying how to measure and delineate the relationships between the interlinked multilevel psychosocial constructs of organizational adaptability, innovativeness, and resilience and the individual and organizational level resources of personal resources, human capital, social capital, and job-related resources as components to a conceptual model of organizational effectiveness coined The Adaptation and Innovation Model of Organizational Resilience, or AIR model. A survey was developed and administered to operationalize worker perceptions …
Situational And Individual Factors Of Reactive Cognitive Control: Examining Feedback And Motivation, Robert Robbins
Situational And Individual Factors Of Reactive Cognitive Control: Examining Feedback And Motivation, Robert Robbins
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This study examined the influences of individuals’ cognitive intrinsic motivation and the presence or absence of feedback on a cognitive task that encouraged reactive cognitive control. I hypothesized that the presence of feedback would facilitate faster responses. I also hypothesized that cognitive intrinsic motivation, one’s disposition towards exerting cognitive effort, would be related to reactive cognitive control in reward situations. Sixty-six individuals completed the Need for Cognition questionnaire (Cacioppo & Petty, 1984) to measure cognitive intrinsic motivation and were randomly assigned to either a rewarded feedback or informative feedback Stroop task. My findings support my first hypothesis indicating a role …
Media Sexualization And Its Impact On College Aged Women, Madelyn Moncrief
Media Sexualization And Its Impact On College Aged Women, Madelyn Moncrief
Honors Theses
Social and traditional media are often studied in relation to women’s perceptions of sex. However, they are often studied separately instead of together, missing the overall connection of media on attitudes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between media consumption, specifically social media and television, and college-aged women's levels of internalized sexualization. The findings of this study found a significant positive correlation between time spent consuming romanced-based reality television and romantic comedies and higher levels of internalized sexualization in college-aged women. This study also found there to be a significant positive correlation between college women’s usage …

College Students And Covid-19: Psychological Well-Being And Academic Performance, Skylar S. Raynor
College Students And Covid-19: Psychological Well-Being And Academic Performance, Skylar S. Raynor
Modern Psychological Studies
When the United States declared a national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 13, 2020, many college students were forced out of campus and back to their homes, altering normal routines and academic environments for students. Recent research suggests potential psychological and academic implications from the pandemic on college students. The goal of the current study was to explore overall psychological well-being and changes in academic performance throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in college students. Psychological well-being was defined as an individual’s levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and social isolation. 89 undergraduate students at Campbell University were asked to …
College Students' Engagement And Academic Outcomes In Online Learning During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Thuy Vy Tran, Olivia Aspiras
College Students' Engagement And Academic Outcomes In Online Learning During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Thuy Vy Tran, Olivia Aspiras
Modern Psychological Studies
This study examined the relationship among motivation, engagement, and academic outcomes in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were 41 students enrolled in at least two online classes. They completed a survey measuring motivation, engagement, and academic performance in their online courses. It was hypothesized that greater motivation and engagement would predict greater academic outcomes, and that engagement mediates the relationship between motivation and academic outcomes. Regression analyses showed that both motivation and engagement significantly predicted academic outcomes. Engagement was not a significant mediator between motivation and academic outcomes; rather, mediation analyses found that motivation mediated the relationship between …
An Exploration Of The Relation Between Neighborhood Resource, Crime, And The Development Of Paranoia., Ojus Khanolkar
An Exploration Of The Relation Between Neighborhood Resource, Crime, And The Development Of Paranoia., Ojus Khanolkar
Modern Psychological Studies
Schizophrenia affects 1% of the US population. It is characterized by positive symptoms like paranoia, and hallucinations and negative symptoms like flattened affect, and reduced speech. Stressors like income, crime, diet, and trauma can epigenetically cause schizophrenia. However, is it possible that "schizophrenic" behavior is not indicative of impending psychosis but rather a coping mechanism to environmental stressors? Here, I explore how paranoia could function as a coping mechanism to two stressors-- poverty and crime --through a computer-simulation of the Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma. Results: paranoia was directly related to increased crime, regardless of poverty level. Crime is also directly related …

Cognitive Biases Incidence In College Students Of A Midwestern Institution, Camilo A. Castelblanco Riveros
Modern Psychological Studies
Cognitive biases, including the misinformation effect, cognitive dissonance, and confirmation bias, are misleading ways of reasoning that can alter our perception of reality. Using questionnaires, this study investigated the extent to which these biases are present in the student community of a Midwestern University. It was hypothesized that a moderate proportion of individuals would show cognitive biases based on the literature and previous experiments. Furthermore, it was expected that participants would employ multiple strategies to justify their behavior and thought processes. With a qualitative design, 81 undergraduate students participated in the study. The research design was observational and statistical analysis …
The Effect Of Photographs On The Narrative Believability Of Positively And Negatively Framed Stories, Camryn E. Backman, Tammy L. Sonnentag
The Effect Of Photographs On The Narrative Believability Of Positively And Negatively Framed Stories, Camryn E. Backman, Tammy L. Sonnentag
Modern Psychological Studies
Countless news articles are published in print or digital form each day, creating a need to understand what makes stories attractive and believable. Salacious, oftentimes negative, news stories tend to effectively grab readers’ attention (Entman, 1993; Serani, 2011), and when the news stories are accompanied by photographs, readers’ interest in the articles is promoted (Knobloch et al., 2003). However, the extent to which negatively framed stories are perceived as believable is largely unknown. The current study examined whether a story’s valence (i.e., positive or negative) affects the believability of news articles, particularly in the presence of a photograph. It was …
Lay Perceptions Of Treating Mental Illness With Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, Dèjah Barksdale, Emily Pica
Lay Perceptions Of Treating Mental Illness With Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, Dèjah Barksdale, Emily Pica
Modern Psychological Studies
With roughly 44.7 million individuals struggling with mental health problems, it is important that new methods of treatment are explored. Currently, the primary method of treatment is Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) for disorders such as: anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but they also provide many detrimental side effects and only decrease symptomology for a short period of time. However, the interest and enthusiasm of many researchers has led to uncovering the true benefits of utilizing psychedelic drugs as a leading treatment for mental health problems. Participants (N = 474) were given a questionnaire regarding their knowledge of …

Battle Of The Sexes: Similarities And Differences In Lay People’S Perceptions About Male And Female Sex Offenders, Felix O. Osagie Jr., Emily Pica
Modern Psychological Studies
The aim of this research was to examine public perceptions about male and female sex offenders to help address gender disparities that exist in the justice system and society. Participants (N = 226) completed the revised Community Attitudes Towards Sex Offenders Scale (ATS; Harper & Hogue, 2015) and a questionnaire concerning opinions about female sex offenders. While there were no observed differences in perceptions between gender overall, differences emerged when examining only parents. Parents perceived male sex offenders worse than female sex offenders. This study also brings awareness to gender bias regarding male and female sex offenders. The implication of …
Are We Giving Them A Fair Chance? Racial Stereotypes And The Juvenile Justice System, Cali K. Bloem, Ashley A. Hansen-Brown
Are We Giving Them A Fair Chance? Racial Stereotypes And The Juvenile Justice System, Cali K. Bloem, Ashley A. Hansen-Brown
Modern Psychological Studies
Prior research indicates that there are racial disparities throughout the criminal justice system and that decision-makers may use stereotypes when determining guilt and deciding on sentences for juveniles. This study looked at sentence disparities between White and Latinx juveniles, as well as potential stereotypes that could be used in decision-making. There were no differences in sentence length and severity between the White and Latinx offender. Additionally, the likelihood of the offender receiving a lesser or greater sentence as an adult did not differ among conditions. Our results also showed that participants with prior juror experience used less stereotypical language in …
The Relationship Between Adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior And Guilt Versus Shame Proneness, Ashley Kernan, Jeremiah Sullins
The Relationship Between Adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior And Guilt Versus Shame Proneness, Ashley Kernan, Jeremiah Sullins
Modern Psychological Studies
This study examined the correlation between adolescent risk-taking behaviors and guilt versus shame proneness. The participants were given an adolescent risk-taking questionnaire that focused on negative high and low risk-taking behaviors and the TOSCA-3 questionnaire. The adolescent risk-taking questionnaire focused on the participants past behaviors from the ages of 13-18. The TOSCA-3 was used to determine if a participant was guilt-prone or shame-prone. The data collected from both instruments were analyzed for whether adolescent risk-taking behaviors were correlated with guilt proneness or shame proneness. The results of the Pearson r correlations indicated a significant negative correlation between adolescent risk-taking, shame …

Motivation And Memory: An Analysis Of Performance-Dependent Reward-Based Motivational Effects On Encoding And Retrieval, Joshua D. Wenger
Modern Psychological Studies
Extrinsic reward has been shown to influence memory performance. This study sought to examine the effects of extrinsic reward on the individual processes of encoding/retrieval. Thirty-eight participants were divided into three groups; each underwent a memory task consisting of an encoding phase, filler task, and retrieval phase. The control group did not have an opportunity to receive a reward, unlike the two experimental groups who both had potential to receive a lottery ticket conditional on strong memory performance, although they differed in the times in which they were made aware of the potential reward. An improvement in memory performance primarily …
Gender And Perception Of Music Genre In College Students, Brett C. Richardson, Ryan Yoder, Terry F. Pettijohn Ii
Gender And Perception Of Music Genre In College Students, Brett C. Richardson, Ryan Yoder, Terry F. Pettijohn Ii
Modern Psychological Studies
Sixty-nine college students listed five songs that they enjoy, then classified each song into one of 15 music genre options. Each of the listed songs were assessed for vocalist gender, which was compared to their music genre classifications and the listeners’ gender. Male vocalists were dominant in every genre tested, outnumbering female vocalists 3.7 to 1. Pop was the notably more equitable exception with a ratio of 1.15:1. However, female vocalists were constricted to the pop genre, as 49% of the listed songs with female vocalists were considered to be pop. Additionally, the study found male and female vocalists have …
