Relationship Between Conviction Rates Of Child Abuse Perpetrators And Forensic Medical Examinations Performed By Trained Versus Non-Trained Examiners On Victims Of Child Sexual Abuse, Leila Smith Bragg

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Thorough and detailed forensic medical examinations on sexually abused children can result in findings that make stronger cases against alleged perpetrators involved in child sexual abuse. A retrospective chart review was conducted of 1561 child abuse cases occurring in the Middle Judicial Circuit of Georgia during a 3-year period. Charts were reviewed to assess whether or not the child received a forensic medical examination and if the examination was performed by a trained or a non-trained forensic examiner. Court conviction data were obtained from the office of the district attorney in order to compare conviction rates to the forensic medical …

Exploration Of State And Trait Anger, Anger Expression, And Perfectionism In Collegiate Springboard Divers, Jacob Stoner Sinclair

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the dimensions of perfectionism and various aspects of anger, such as state, trait, and the expression of anger, for collegiate springboard divers. The role of gender was also investigated. Forty women and 19 men were administered the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2; Spielberger, 1999) and the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS; Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblate, 1990). Data analysis showed no significant differences between genders for any scales or subscales of anger or perfectionism. State anger and its subscales were not significantly correlated with any subscales of perfectionism. Anger …

Transitive Inference And Commonly Coded Stimuli, William T. Suits

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This experiment examined whether stimuli that were commonly coded through association with similar outcomes would be treated differently when used in a transitive inference (TI) task than stimuli not commonly coded. A TI task was used in which stimuli were presented to pigeons as pairs (A+B-, B+C-, C+D-, D+E-), and a single pair of stimuli was presented as a test (BD). Pigeons were assigned to four groups in which stimuli were associated with one another along the linear array. For the Within Common Coding Group, the outcomes were arranged so that B and D both received the same outcome (when …

Effect Of Orthotics On Dynamic Balance In Participants With Pes Planus And Subacute Lateral Ankle Sprains, Amanda Dawn Antinori

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Lateral ankle sprains are common athletic injuries which lead to a decrease in balance via proprioceptive damage around the joint. Orthotics have been shown to help increase balance following acute ankle sprains. This research focused on the effect of orthotics on balance in participants with unilateral, subacute lateral ankle sprains and pes planus. Ten participants (half randomly assigned to orthotics group) performed balance testing twice (pre- and 5 minute-post) on each leg of the Biodex Balance System. A 2 X 2 ANOVA with Repeated Measures was used to evaluate the treatment (orthotics, no orthotics) over time (pre-orthotic, post-orthotic). The results …

Connectives And Causal Relatedness In Expository Text, Benjamin G. Simpkins

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

The combined influence of causal connectives and varying levels of causal relatedness on online and offline comprehension of expository texts was investigated. The current hypothesis was that causal connectives would encourage elaborative processing and online generation of bridging inferences, particularly in the moderately to low causally related sentence pairs. This was predicted because past research has noted causal connectives capacity to elicit generation of inferences online. Connectives were not predicted to encourage inference generation in the higher-related items because the causal bridging inference should be obvious to the reader. To test this, a new set of 24 expository items was …

Relationships Of Career Decision-Making And Self-Esteem For College Students And Athletes, James B. Mize

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This study examined relationships between career decision-making and self-esteem for freshman and sophomore athletes and non-athletes. Respondents included athletes and non-athletes from traditional four-year institutions and two-year junior colleges. Questionnaires administered to 107 male and female athletes and 136 male and female non-athletes in both class ranks indicated positive relationships with the Career Decision Profile Decidedness and Comfort scales for all female participants, male participants, non-athletes, and athletes. Women as a group scored higher for career maturity than men. Relationships were found with Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale scores and the CDP Comfort scale for all participants and for all male participants. …

Pregnancy Intendedness In A High Risk Group: Reassessing Its Meaning, Mary Miller

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

The traditional framework of the National Survey of Family Growth classification scheme works well for most married couples, but is less plausible for minority women who are labeled as high-risk. Surveys that are being used to assess the National Family Growth are limited classification schemes because they have failed to reveal the complex nature associated with defining pregnancies in high-risk groups. This research was designed as a qualitative study, which used semi-structured, open-ended interviews to explore concepts of pregnancy. Five qualitative dimensions of pregnancy intendedness emerged: socioconception desire for pregnancy, forced preparation, fertility behavior and expectation, post-socioconception desire for pregnancy, …

Influence Of Outcome Expectancy On Optimisim, Pessimism, Anxiety And Self-Confidence In Collegiate Football Players, Tiffany D. Watson

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Expectations are instrumental in predicting performance quality (Solomon, 2002). According to the expectancy theory, what is expected to happen often does (Chase & Lirgg, 1997). Often, the underdog, or unexpected winner, will defeat the more likely winner creating questions as to the validity of the expectancy theory. Psychological variables related to expectations may contribute to the ability of the underdog to succeed in unexpected situations. Optimism refers to a positive expectation or perception of the future, and pessimism refers to a negative expectation or perception (Scheier & Carver, 1993). Anxiety, though often given a negative connotation, has shown facilitative effects …

Effects Of Exercise And A Brief Education Intervention On Social Physique Anxiety In College Students, Lisa Anne Scott

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Body image concerns that create anxiety in social settings [social physique anxiety (SPA)] has shown to influence behaviors of college women (Crawford & Eklund, 1994). There have been attempts to lower SPA among college students by utilizing physical activity or administrating an education or cognitive-behavioral intervention to decrease SPA (Bane, 1996; ODea and Abraham, 1999; Zabinski, Calfas, Gehrman, Wilfley, & Sallis, 2001.) Interventions take time and time in todays society is limited. Brief or time-limited interventions have shown to be beneficial, and ultra-brief therapy (treatments with six or fewer sessions) has shown to be beneficial to a substantial amount of …
