Positive Affect Facilitates Reduction In Depression Symptoms During A Mobile Mindfulness-Based Intervention, Andrew Rauch
Positive Affect Facilitates Reduction In Depression Symptoms During A Mobile Mindfulness-Based Intervention, Andrew Rauch
Master's Theses
Depression negatively impacts the lives of many, and the rates are continuing to rapidly increase. Identifying patterns of modifiable affective psychological mechanisms that contribute to reducing depression symptoms is critical to improve the effectiveness of wellbeing interventions for individuals with depressive disorders. Depression has been characterized by valanced patterns of low positive affect and high negative affect, yet the extent to which these relative patterns of affectivity change in response to intervention remains less clear. The present study evaluated affective patterns in college students (n = 127) with elevated depression symptoms who participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of …
The Role Of Identification In Black Individuals' Goals To Challenge Racism Through Confrontation And Collective Action, Efrata Sasahulih
The Role Of Identification In Black Individuals' Goals To Challenge Racism Through Confrontation And Collective Action, Efrata Sasahulih
Master's Theses
Anti-Black racism continues to harm Black individuals in the United States and throughout the world (e.g., police brutality, medical racism: Hoffman, Trawalter, Axt, & Oliver, 2016; Smiley & Fakunle, 2016; Stuber, Meyer, & Link, 2008). Psychological research has investigated the roots of prejudice and strategies to mitigate its negative consequences, including confrontation and collective action. However, research in this area has largely focused on ways that these strategies pose additional risk for targets of prejudice. This research determined if Black people who endorse individual-benefiting or group-benefiting goals following an instance of anti-Black racism use confrontation and collective action, respectively, to …
Psychological Symptoms, Visceral Pain Sensitivity, And Observations Of Parent Pain Behavior Are Related To Somatic Symptoms In Premenarchal Adolescents, Genevieve Roth
Master's Theses
Somatic symptoms are a risk factor for the development of chronic pelvic pain in women. The present study characterized somatic symptoms and their relations with psychological, pain sensitivity, and parental factors in a community sample of premenarchal adolescents, which marks an initial step in advancing the identification of potential modifiable factors related to menstrual pain and chronic pain development. Pain sensitivity (visceral and bodily factors) and psychological symptoms (anxiety and stress) were predicted to be related to somatic symptoms (e.g, widespread bodily discomfort) in premenarchal adolescents. Additionally, adolescents’ observation of parent pain behavior was expected to be specifically associated with …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications
The negative emotions generated following stressful life events can increase one's risk of depressive symptoms and promote higher levels of perceived stress. The process model of emotion regulation can help distinguish between adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies to determine who may be at the greatest risk of worse psychological health across the lifespan. Heart rate variability (HRV) may affect these relationships as it indexes aspects of self-regulation, including emotion and behavioral regulation, that enable an individual to dynamically adapt to the changing demands of both internal and external environments. In this study, we expected individual differences in resting vagally …

ความสัมพันธ์ของการกำหนดตนเอง การคลั่งไคล้ศิลปิน และ การฟื้นคืนพลัง ในผู้ใหญ่วัยเริ่มที่เข้าร่วมกลุ่มชื่นชอบศิลปิน, จุฑามาศ มงคลอำนาจ
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
งานวิจัยนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อ ศึกษาความสัมพันธ์ของการกำหนดตนเอง (Self-determination) โดยประกอบด้วย 3 ด้าน คือ ความต้องการความสามารถ (Competence) ความต้องการมีอิสระ (Autonomy) และความต้องการความสัมพันธ์ในสังคม (Relatedness) รวมถึงการคลั่งไคล้ศิลปิน (Celebrity worship) ที่อาจร่วมกันอธิบายการฟื้นคืนพลัง (Resilience) ในกลุ่มผู้ชื่นชอบศิลปินวัยผู้ใหญ่วัยเริ่ม อายุ 18-29 ปี จำนวน 134 คน จากการวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลพบว่า การกำหนดตนเองด้านความต้องการ 3 ด้าน (ความสามารถ การมีอิสระ และความสัมพันธ์ในสังคม) และการคลั่งไคล้ศิลปิน ร่วมกันอธิบายการฟื้นคืนพลัง (Resilience) ได้ร้อยละ 20.1 โดยการกำหนดตนเองด้านความต้องการความสามารถอธิบายการฟื้นคืนพลังได้อย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ ดังนั้น ในการส่งเสริมการฟื้นคืนพลังในผู้ใหญ่วัยเริ่ม อาจเน้นเสริมทักษะความสามารถที่จำเป็นต่อการทำตามเป้าหมายของบุคคล กระบวนการพัฒนาทักษะอาจช่วยเพิ่มความสามารถในการฟื้นคืนพลังข้ามผ่านอุปสรรคไปสู่เป้าหมายได้ แม้ว่าความต้องการความสัมพันธ์และด้านความต้องการมีอิสระรวมถึงการคลั่งไคล้ศิลปินจะไม่สามารถอธิบายการฟื้นคืนพลังได้ แต่หากส่งเสริมทางด้านความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีกับผู้อื่น การมีอิสระในทางเลือกของตนเพิ่มขึ้น และสนับสนุนการติดตามศิลปินอย่างเหมาะสม เพื่อเป็นกำลังใจในการข้ามผ่านอุปสรรคร่วมด้วย ก็อาจจะช่วยส่งเสริมการฟื้นคืนพลังของผู้ใหญ่วัยเริ่มที่ชื่นชอบศิลปินได้
ความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังของผู้ใหญ่วัยเริ่ม: การวิเคราะห์จัดกลุ่มความเมตตากรุณาต่อตนเอง ความเมตตากรุณาต่อผู้อื่น การให้การสนับสนุนทางสังคม และการรับรู้การสนับสนุนทางสังคม, ดลนภัส ชลวาสิน
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
การวิจัยนี้เป็นการวิจัยเชิงสำรวจ มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อจัดกลุ่มปัจจัยระดับบุคคล ได้แก่ ความเมตตากรุณาต่อตนเอง และปัจจัยระดับสังคม ได้แก่ ความเมตตากรุณาต่อผู้อื่น การรับรู้การสนับสนุนทางสังคม การให้การสนับสนุนทางสังคม และเปรียบเทียบความแตกต่างของความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังระหว่างกลุ่มดังกล่าว โดยมีผู้เข้าร่วมการวิจัยเป็นผู้ใหญ่วัยเริ่ม จำนวน 310 คน ที่เป็นนิสิตนักศึกษามหาวิทยาลัยอาศัยอยู่ในกรุงเทพมหานครและเขตปริมณฑล วิเคราะห์ข้อมูลโดยใช้สถิติวิเคราะห์จัดกลุ่มเพื่อจัดกลุ่มผู้เข้าร่วมการวิจัยโดยมีพื้นฐานอยู่บนตัวแปรระดับบุคคลและตัวแปรระดับสังคม จากนั้นใช้สถิติวิเคราะห์ความแปรปรวนทางเดียวเพื่อเปรียบเทียบความแตกต่างของคะแนนความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังระหว่างกลุ่ม ผลการวิจัยพบว่า สามารถแบ่งกลุ่มผู้เข้าร่วมวิจัยออกเป็น 4 กลุ่ม ดังนี้ “ใจดีต่อตนเองและผู้อื่นสูง” “ใจดีต่อตนเองปานกลางแต่ใจดีต่อผู้อื่นน้อย” “ใจดีต่อตนเองและผู้อื่นน้อย” และ “ใจดีต่อตนเองน้อยแต่ใจดีต่อผู้อื่นปานกลาง” และพบว่า มีความแตกต่างของคะแนนความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังระหว่างกลุ่มอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (F(3, 306) = 18.75, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.155) โดยกลุ่มที่มีคะแนนความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังสูงที่สุด (M = 3.25) คือ “ใจดีต่อตนเองและผู้อื่นสูง” ที่คะแนนตัวแปรระดับบุคคลและตัวแปรระดับสังคมอยู่ในระดับสูง ในทางตรงกันข้าม กลุ่มที่มีคะแนนความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังต่ำที่สุด (M = 2.59) คือ “ใจดีต่อตนเองน้อยแต่ใจดีต่อผู้อื่นปานกลาง” ซึ่งคะแนนตัวแปรระดับบุคคลอยู่ในระดับต่ำและคะแนนตัวแปรระดับสังคมอยู่ในระดับปานกลาง สะท้อนให้เห็นว่า รูปแบบการมีปฏิสัมพันธ์ระหว่างบุคคลและสภาพแวดล้อมที่แตกต่างกันแสดงถึงความสามารถในการฟื้นพลังในระดับที่แตกต่างกัน

A Comparative Test Of Creative Thinking In Preschool Children And Dolphins, Dawn Melzer, Deirdre Yeater, Madison Bradley, Heather M. Hill, Gonzalo Guerra, Kimberly Salazar, Teresa Bolton, Kathleen M. Dudzinski
Psychology Faculty Publications
Creativity is considered one aspect of intelligence. Including creativity allows for more room for expression (e.g., participants can respond with movement instead of written or verbal responses) than in standard intelligence assessments. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT; Torrance, 1974) are the leading method of assessing creative abilities in school-aged humans and above. To assess creativity in young humans and nonhuman animals, modifications must be made to facilitate nonverbal responses. In the current study, a cross-species comparison was conducted between preschoolers and bottlenose dolphins to examine responses to a modified creativity task in which both species were trained to …
Metamosque – Envisioning The Mosque As A Virtual Public Space, Alaa Albarazy
Metamosque – Envisioning The Mosque As A Virtual Public Space, Alaa Albarazy
Theses and Dissertations
Historically, the mosque was not only a space for a communal prayer but also a place for building a community. Today, however, with conflicts and diseases fragmenting society, people are less able to gather physically in large spaces. Out of necessity, people rely on technology to get together and interact virtually. In this context, my research challenges the notion of the mosque as a physical space, proposing, instead, its extension into virtual space. Recent global events pose the question: Can the metaverse offer an opportunity for the mosque to reassert itself as a public space. I propose that a MetaMosque …
Alcohol And Other Addictive Behaviors Among Bariatric Surgery Patients, Rachel M. Arnold
Alcohol And Other Addictive Behaviors Among Bariatric Surgery Patients, Rachel M. Arnold
Theses and Dissertations
Research has repeatedly highlighted a high rate of comorbidity of addictive behaviors in both clinical and non-clinical samples. While polydrug use has received significant attention in recent years, less is known about rates of comorbidity with behavioral addictions such as eating, work, exercise, or sex. Individuals with a history of bariatric surgery may provide a unique opportunity to examine the potential co-occurrence of addictive behaviors. High rates of food addiction symptoms and changes in alcohol use patterns post-surgically have highlighted a potential gap in our understanding of bariatric patients and their needs post-surgically. Using a composite measure of addictive behaviors, …
A Thematic Analysis Of African American Fathers' Emotion-Related Beliefs And Behaviors, Deon Brown
A Thematic Analysis Of African American Fathers' Emotion-Related Beliefs And Behaviors, Deon Brown
Theses and Dissertations
This study explored African American fathers’ beliefs about and experiences with their own and their children’s negative emotions (i.e., parental meta-emotion philosophy and parental emotion socialization). Participants included 58 African American fathers in the Midwestern region of the United States between the ages of 29 and 40 (Mage = 30.94). 57 were biological fathers and one was a stepfather to toddlers between 24 and 31 months of age. Participants were invited to complete lab tasks, including the meta-emotion interview (MEI). The MEI is semi-structured interview of parents’ and their children’s negative emotion (i.e., sadness and anger). I selected a subset …
Using Individual Determinants To Predict Behavioral Health Service Use In Integrated Pediatric Primary Care, Alfonso L. Floyd Jr.
Using Individual Determinants To Predict Behavioral Health Service Use In Integrated Pediatric Primary Care, Alfonso L. Floyd Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
Mental health problems (e.g., attention, externalizing, internalizing) are commonly observed in youth and are often associated with significant impairment and an increased need for mental health services. Conceptual frameworks, such as Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Service Utilization, have proposed that several individual determinants (e.g., predisposing, enabling, and need factors) may influence service use for mental health problems among youth. Despite the glaring need for mental health treatment among youth with mental health problems, studies indicate that many affected youths do not receive mental health care. Integrated pediatric primary care (IPPC) settings provide an ideal setting for youth and families …
Predicting Medication Adherence Patterns During The Maintenance Phase Of Treatment For Pediatric Leukemia And Lymphoma: A Model Of Individual- And Family-Level Factors, Stephanie M. Romo
Predicting Medication Adherence Patterns During The Maintenance Phase Of Treatment For Pediatric Leukemia And Lymphoma: A Model Of Individual- And Family-Level Factors, Stephanie M. Romo
Theses and Dissertations
Adherence during the maintenance phase of pediatric cancer treatment is critical to prevent relapse and ensure long-term, event-free survival. Yet, little research has been done to examine individual- and family-level factors that may relate to adherence during the maintenance phase of treatment, particularly among Latinx patients. This is surprising given findings demonstrating that children who miss more than 5% of their prescribed oral chemotherapy medicine, most commonly 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), are 2.5-2.7 times more likely to relapse than children who take 95% or more of their prescribed 6MP. Pediatric cancer patients face unique adherence challenges given the importance of family involvement …
Perceived Discrimination And Mental Health Outcomes In College Students: The Mediating Role Of Preventive Health Behaviors And Social Support, Sarah C M Morton
Perceived Discrimination And Mental Health Outcomes In College Students: The Mediating Role Of Preventive Health Behaviors And Social Support, Sarah C M Morton
Theses and Dissertations
Perceived discrimination has been linked to adverse mental health outcomes, increased risk-taking behaviors, and poor engagement in health promoting behaviors. College students may be especially susceptible to negative mental health outcomes associated with discrimination due to the unique stressors faced by young adults (e.g., prolonged transition to adulthood, onset of mental health disorders, changes in social support). The current study examined the mediating and moderating roles of health behaviors and social support on the association between perceived discrimination and mental health outcomes (e.g., anxiety, depression, suicidality) in college students. A total of 709 college students (42.8% White; 72.2% female; 30.2% …
Black Hearts Matter: A Comparative Study Of Sociodemographic, Clinical, And Psychosocial Characteristics In Black And White Persons With Heart Failure, Hannah M Anderson Hughes
Black Hearts Matter: A Comparative Study Of Sociodemographic, Clinical, And Psychosocial Characteristics In Black And White Persons With Heart Failure, Hannah M Anderson Hughes
Theses and Dissertations
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive, debilitating illness that disproportionately affects Black individuals, often leading to poor quality of life (QOL). Various sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics are related to QOL in patients with HF. Because most studies do not include representative Black samples or report findings from racial subgroup analyses, these relationships and any existing racial differences are not well understood. The purpose of this descriptive, comparative study was to explore the relationships among sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics and QOL in patients with HF and to determine if there were racial differences between Black and White individuals. …
Examining The Impact Of Parental Racial Socialization And Critical Consciousness On Black Adolescents’ Coping With Racism-Related Stress, Chandler Alexandra Golden
Examining The Impact Of Parental Racial Socialization And Critical Consciousness On Black Adolescents’ Coping With Racism-Related Stress, Chandler Alexandra Golden
Theses and Dissertations
In addition to universal stressors, Black adolescents also experience racism-related stressors. The physical and emotional consequences of racism-related stressors can be harmful to Black youth. To mitigate racism-related stress, Black youth may engage in various forms of coping. Critical consciousness and racial socialization are culturally relevant factors that have been protective against the negative impact of racism-related stress, with coping as one mechanism that undergirds this protection. Moreover, research has also begun to theorize critical action as a type of racialized coping. Past research has largely examined the impact of critical consciousness and racial socialization on coping separately and yielded …
Hormonal Medications And Partner Odor Preferences, Jeffrey Lee Frederick
Hormonal Medications And Partner Odor Preferences, Jeffrey Lee Frederick
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
The ability to recognize kin through the olfactory sense has important survival and evolutionary implications when choosing mates. Failing to recognize kin when making a choice of whom to mate with can lead to an increase in detrimental genetic outcomes in offspring. Previous studies have indicated that normally ovulating heterosexual women and men prefer the body odor of those with dissimilar immune systems than those with similar immune systems. The use of hormonal contraceptives has shown a preference for similar immune system odors. The current study examines whether the use of hormonal medications predicts preference for body odor. Importantly, this …
Can Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Be A Viable Treatment Option For Law Enforcement Officers With Ptsd?, Megan Rinderer
Can Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Be A Viable Treatment Option For Law Enforcement Officers With Ptsd?, Megan Rinderer
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Law enforcement officers (LEO) are more likely to experience symptoms of PTSD when compared to the general population yet are less likely to seek mental health treatment (Jetelina et al., 2020). Given that LEO face unique occupational stressors and repeated exposure to traumatic events, treatment for PTSD among law enforcement populations poses unique challenges for clinicians. The combination of these variables precludes officers from seeking and receiving mental health services. Research regarding the efficacy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) as a psychotherapeutic intervention is limited. To date, no studies have examined the use of BJJ to mitigate symptoms of PTSD …
An Analysis Of Military Service Academies Sexual Harassment And Sexual Assault Through Reports, Research, And Media Coverage, Lisa “Tana” Youn Kyung Sharp
An Analysis Of Military Service Academies Sexual Harassment And Sexual Assault Through Reports, Research, And Media Coverage, Lisa “Tana” Youn Kyung Sharp
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Military Sexual Trauma (MST) at the United States Military Services Academies (MSA) remains at a concerning rate despite the MSAs’ proactive educational steps towards addressing this issue. One of the most influential factors is the very culture of the MSAs. This paper analyzes publicly-accessible governmental research and reports, peer reviewed articles, a legal publication, and media coverage. The analysis shows that there remain significant barriers to change which continue to play a role in the high frequency of MST. These barriers are low rates of accountability, difficulty in access to cadets/midshipmen by outside researchers, and the overall MSA cultural trends …
The Devil’S Advocate: The Relational Therapist As Jung’S Fourth In The Treatment Of Queer Christian Clients, Whitney Wilson
The Devil’S Advocate: The Relational Therapist As Jung’S Fourth In The Treatment Of Queer Christian Clients, Whitney Wilson
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
This paper is an exploration of C.G. Jung’s essay, A Psychological Approach to the Dogma of the Trinity, and how he inadvertently provides a relational psychodynamic lens for working with queer Christian clients who are differentiating from their harmful, embedded theologies. Jung hypothesizes that the Christian Trinity archetype – the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, cannot exist without a fourth member, the Devil, who holds an essential role in the successful differentiation of the Trinity. The relational therapist is called to act as the Devil when working with queer Christian clients - inviting in seemingly mischievous and dangerous thoughts that …
The Intersubjective Perspective: An Effective Treatment Model For Incarcerated Clients, Zachary Grant Weiss
The Intersubjective Perspective: An Effective Treatment Model For Incarcerated Clients, Zachary Grant Weiss
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Although there is already a large body of theoretical literature on the utility of Intersubjective Systems Theory in working with more challenging clinical presentations, little has been written about the use of this approach in working with incarcerated clients. In this paper, I will be making the case for the utility and need for the Intersubjective Perspective in working within the forensic system. This paper will first focus on building a general framework for Intersubjective Systems Theory, and its theoretical understanding of clients’ striving towards health, love and connection. Next, this paper will take time to focus on a brief …
Unreality And Loss Of Self: Dissociative Experiences In Buddhist Practitioners, Jill Loving
Unreality And Loss Of Self: Dissociative Experiences In Buddhist Practitioners, Jill Loving
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
On the surface, the Buddhist idea of emptiness and experiences of depersonalization and derealization seem to have significant overlap. Meditations on emptiness in the Buddhist tradition seek to lead meditators to observe the ego as illusory and empty of inherent content as one step in the journey to liberate oneself from suffering. Conversely, dissociation is generally an involuntary, automatic response to severe trauma that can become more common or chronic in an individual over time. Topographically, these experiences may look similar; both include a sense of unreality of the self and often of the broader world. However, differences in stimulus …
Older Adults And Suicide As Examined Through The Lens Of Joiner's Interpersonal Theory Of Suicide, Pamela Holmes
Older Adults And Suicide As Examined Through The Lens Of Joiner's Interpersonal Theory Of Suicide, Pamela Holmes
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Older adults face the highest rates of suicide of all age groups. The older adult population is not a homogenous group, and each age range—young old, middle old, and oldest old—has specific risk factors. Although Joiner’s interpersonal theory of suicide (IPTS) has been deemed valid among these age groups, it has not been specifically researched in older adults in each older age range. Due to lack of research and low reporting rates, not enough is known to develop specific detection and prevention measures targeting this population. This paper addresses the application of Joiner’s IPTS to both genders in each of …
Cancer Related Cognitive Impairment In Breast Cancer Patients: Guidelines For Neuropsychological Evaluation And Management, Ali Al-Humadi
Cancer Related Cognitive Impairment In Breast Cancer Patients: Guidelines For Neuropsychological Evaluation And Management, Ali Al-Humadi
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Current literature indicates there is still some debate regarding the scope and severity of cancer treatment related cognitive impairment (CRCI), with a wide variety of complex factors contributing to cognitive decline and discrepancies between objective findings and patient self-report. This paper aims to provide guidelines for neuropsychological evaluation, management, and rehabilitation of CRCI in breast cancer patients based on current research. This paper also aims to discuss current research on proposed mechanisms of action for CRCI, the cognitive domains affected in CRCI, and significant bio-psycho-social risk factors impacting CRCI.
Attachment Theory To Inform Intervention In Correctional Populations With Adverse Childhood Experiences And Substance Use Disorders, Samantha Mendoza
Attachment Theory To Inform Intervention In Correctional Populations With Adverse Childhood Experiences And Substance Use Disorders, Samantha Mendoza
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Research shows a correlation exists between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and poor mental health such as psychiatric and substance use disorders (Adshead, 2018). Research further suggests a correlation between ACEs and insecure attachment in adults (Adshead, 2018). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (2020) estimates 85% of the correctional population either has a substance use disorder or was incarcerated for a drug-related offense. This paper theorizes that those involved in the correctional system with a history of high ACE scores and substance use also experience insecure attachment, which is not currently addressed in correctional SUD programs. Attachment theory moderates the …
Asexuality And Demisexuality: Clinical Implications Of Sexual Identity, Michael Scott Fiorini
Asexuality And Demisexuality: Clinical Implications Of Sexual Identity, Michael Scott Fiorini
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
This paper considers demisexuality as an identity and sexual orientation for use by psychologists using historical, sociological, and psychological perspectives. It discusses the clinical implications of demisexuality as an identity and orientation distinct from asexuality. The paper discusses applications and limitations of defining and identifying demisexuality in a clinical population and it's social, scientific, and contextual significance. The paper compares what can be observed with existing diagnostic guidelines present in the DSM-5 for the identification of Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (FSIAD) and Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (MHSDD). The paper proposes guidelines for the diagnosis and the ethical clinical treatment …
Working With Families With Refugee Experiences In The United States: The Impact Of Forced Displacement On Parent-Child Relationships After Resettlement, Sakshi Kapur
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Refugees resettled in high-income countries like the United States have a unique set of challenges ranging from great psychological disturbance to acculturation challenges. With recent changes to policies related to immigration and refugee resettlement in the United States after the 2016 presidential elections, the refugee diaspora was left with resettlement services focused more on ensuring national security and economic independence rather than services that catered to re-integration beyond economics like acculturation stress, family functioning, and cultural adjustment. This systemic literature review explores the impact of forced displacement and migration on individuals, with an emphasis on family systems and parent-child relationships. …
"Stay Strong": Internalized Stigma, Religiosity And Black Mental Health In Colorado, Breigh Jones-Coplin
"Stay Strong": Internalized Stigma, Religiosity And Black Mental Health In Colorado, Breigh Jones-Coplin
