Parental Socialization Of Child Gratitude And Links To Child Outcomes, Boglarka K. Vizy
Parental Socialization Of Child Gratitude And Links To Child Outcomes, Boglarka K. Vizy
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Research shows that the gratitude is associated with positive mental health in both adults and children. However, research on how gratitude is learned or socialized is limited. The goal of the proposed study was to examine parental socialization of gratitude and its relation to children's gratitude to predict children's positive affect, depressive symptoms, and social skills. A mediation model was tested to determine if children's gratitude explained the link between mother socialization and child outcomes. It was expected that these indirect paths would be stronger for older children. Participants were 95 mother-child dyads who completed a battery of questionnaires and …

The Chronic Care Model (CCM) is an evidenced based healthcare management system that encompasses a multidimensional approach to healthcare for the treatment of patients with chronic conditions. A component of this model is collaborative care. The tenets of the biopsychosocial model are central to collaborative care and evidenced-based health care interventions. These interventions provide integrated, patient-centered healthcare delivered by a multidisciplinary healthcare team. Recent research has indicated that psychologists can play a vital role on such teams. The purpose of this exploratory pilot study was to subject the Biopsychosocial Endorsement Questionnaire (BEQ) to preliminary statistical analysis and to pilot its …
Evaluating Treatment Integrity Failures During Timeout From Play, Apral P. Foreman
Evaluating Treatment Integrity Failures During Timeout From Play, Apral P. Foreman
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Timeout is an effective behavior-reduction strategy with considerable generality. There are several recommendations about how to implement timeout. However, little research has investigated how timeout is implemented under natural conditions, or how timeout-implementation errors impact its effectiveness. Thus, our study attempted to address two aims. The first aim was to observe how teachers implemented timeout with their students. To address this aim (Experiment 1), we completed naturalistic observations of teachers who were implementing timeout during play. We collected data on how frequently the teachers implemented timeout following problem behavior (omission integrity), and how frequently teachers implemented timeout following responses not …
In Darker Shadows: Intelligence Analysis And Decision-Making Behind The Overthrow Of Guatemalan Democracy, William R. Weber
In Darker Shadows: Intelligence Analysis And Decision-Making Behind The Overthrow Of Guatemalan Democracy, William R. Weber
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
In 1954 the CIA aided in the overthrow of Guatemala's democratically elected president. Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, a leftist leader intent on improving the quality of life for Guatemala's lower class population, nationalized tens of thousands of acres of private land for redistribution to the peasantry as part of an agrarian reform law, which was also supported by Guatemala's small communist party. The United Fruit Company (UFCo), a US company which dominated Guatemala's agricultural export market, had thousands of unused acres expropriated. UFCo, with ties to high-level government officials, appealed to the US State Department for resolution to this injustice. President …
War On The Mind: Trauma And Coping Among Union Soldiers And Veterans, Kathleen Anneliese Logothetis Thompson
War On The Mind: Trauma And Coping Among Union Soldiers And Veterans, Kathleen Anneliese Logothetis Thompson
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
"War on the Mind: Trauma and Coping in the Union Army," is a work of social, cultural, and military history and examines experiences of mental trauma in the Union Army during the war and among veterans in the post-war period. Without our modern definition of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Civil War soldiers had a very different view of how they were mentally experiencing the war. By looking at soldier accounts and the records of insane asylums it is clear that soldiers did have experiences of trauma and insanity during or related to their wartime service. However, those same asylum records, as …

Investigating Social Perceptions Associated With Water Quality In Morgantown, West Virginia, Jonas G. Leveque
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This dissertation investigates public perceptions of water quality in Morgantown, West Virginia. In recent years, water has become an increasingly critical issue in terms of quantity worldwide, and also in terms of quality. In developed countries such as the United States, water quality is often taken for granted by the general public. Nonetheless, recent water crises in Flint, Michigan and Charleston, West Virginia, are examples showing there are environmental risks associated with human activities. This dissertation explores the context of West Virginia, with coal mining that is decreasing and non-conventional oil and gas drilling that is increasing in the Appalachia …
Impact Of Incident Cancer On Coronary Artery Disease-Related Concomitant Medication Adherence, Short-Term Health And Economic Outcomes Among Elderly Medicare Beneficiaries With Coronary Artery Diseas, Ishveen Kaur Chopra
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most burdensome chronic conditions in the elderly. The two key goals of long-term management of CAD are (i) to reduce symptoms and ischemia and (ii) prevent myocardial infarction and death, by lowering lipids and blood pressure. Of all the risk reduction strategies, use and adherence to concomitant pharmacotherapy with statins and beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) have been shown to be highly effective and has become the cornerstone of CAD management. However, adherence to concomitant pharmacotherapy can be influenced by many factors including the development of …
Depression, Treatment Response To Tnfi, And Economic Outcomes Among Working-Age Adults With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Arijita Deb
Depression, Treatment Response To Tnfi, And Economic Outcomes Among Working-Age Adults With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Arijita Deb
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Depression is one of the most frequently occurring conditions in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients and understanding depression as a comorbidity in RA is very important. The link between RA and depression is very complex and influenced by a multitude of factors such as shared pathophysiologic pathways of inflammation, RA-related treatment response, as well as the patient's demographic and socio-economic factors, and general difficulties in coping with the disease. Depression can increase the clinical, humanistic, and economic burden among RA patients. Growing evidence now suggests that depression is a systemic inflammatory condition and may exert a negative influence on the treatment …

Development And Validation Of An Oral Health Values Scale, Cierra B. Edwards
Development And Validation Of An Oral Health Values Scale, Cierra B. Edwards
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Oral health values, the degree to which one demonstrates investment in improving or maintaining one's dental status, are believed to vary across individuals. Oral health values may contribute to dental treatment utilization. By assessing differences in oral health values, researchers may be better able to explain differences in dental care treatment-seeking patterns. There is limited research, however, on measuring and evaluating oral health values. This study developed and validated a new Oral Health Values Scale (OHVS) that may be used in future research efforts to understand psychosocial barriers to treatment. The study provided evidence of content validity by having experts …

Spread Of False News Stories On Facebook: An Assessment Of Credibility Cues And Personality, Lacie Geary
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This study used a 2 x 2 method to examine the effectiveness of credibility cues on Facebook and how the personality traits neuroticism and openness impact sharing behaviors across cues of different shapes and colors. Findings suggested the color red increased cue noticeability, however, overall a low number of participants noticed any of the four varying cues across conditions, indicating that the fast-paced scrolling nature of online mediums prevents users from noticing credibility cues. Future research should examine the differences in pace of scrolling and information intake across different generations. This information might be useful to media outlets to help …
The Effect Of A Leader's Emotional Intelligence On The Subordinate's Intention To Whistleblow, Xin Geng
The Effect Of A Leader's Emotional Intelligence On The Subordinate's Intention To Whistleblow, Xin Geng
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Two experiments in this dissertation examine the effect of a leader's emotional intelligence and its interaction with other constructs on the subordinate's intention to whistleblow. Results from the primary experiment indicate that when the leader is not involved in the observed accounting fraud, the subordinate is more likely to whistleblow to the leader if the leader has high emotional intelligence or high group prototypicality. The relationship between leader emotional intelligence and subordinate whistleblowing intention is stronger when the leader has high group prototypicality and is mediated by the subordinate's perceived leader-member exchange, trust in the leader, and job satisfaction. These …
Think Twice Before Hitting 'Send': The Strategic Uses Of Information In Marketing Channels, Pui Ying Tong
Think Twice Before Hitting 'Send': The Strategic Uses Of Information In Marketing Channels, Pui Ying Tong
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This dissertation examines the growing problem of information overload in the context of marketing channels. Information overload occurs when shared information requires more mental resources to process than the mental resources available to the receiver. This research offers strategies to attenuate information overload and examines the impact of information overload on channel outcomes. Strategic uses of information are proposed and conceptualized as a sender's alteration of information volume, content, and/or timing to assist a receiver in processing information. Hypotheses are developed based on the normative perspective of communication from the organizational communication literature. Data from 244 salespeople are analyzed using …

Approaches To Supervision In Sport Psychology And Their Influences On Initial Supervisees' Professional Development, Janaina Lima Fogaca
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Supervision is important to foster supervisees' development, protect their clients from harm, and ensure competence. Sport psychology graduate programs in the United States offer a variety of supervision approaches, but there are few official guidelines on how to supervise. This dissertation had the aim of investigating the supervision approaches being used with novice supervisees in applied sport psychology in the United States, and how these approaches relate to supervisees' development of service-delivery competence. Nine supervisor-supervisee dyads were interviewed before and after the academic term in which the supervisees had their first applied experiences. Supervisees completed two journal entries regarding their …
Thrombospondin-1 And Cd47 Mediate Peripheral Microvascular Dysfunction Following Pulmonary Exposure To Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, W. Kyle Mandler
Thrombospondin-1 And Cd47 Mediate Peripheral Microvascular Dysfunction Following Pulmonary Exposure To Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, W. Kyle Mandler
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Pulmonary exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) has been shown to disrupt endothelium-dependent arteriolar dilation in the peripheral microcirculation. The molecular mechanisms behind these arteriolar disruptions have yet to be fully elucidated. The secreted matricellular matrix protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is capable of moderating arteriolar vasodilation by inhibiting NO signaling at several points, including the inhibition soluble guanylate cyclase activity and eNOS activation. The central hypothesis was that TSP-1, following pulmonary exposure to MWCNT, mediates peripheral changes in dilatory capacity. To test this hypothesis, wild-type C57B6J (WT), TSP-1 knockout (TSP-1 KO) and CD47 knockout (CD47 KO) mice were exposed via lung …

A Multidimensional Technique For Measuring Consensus Within Groups Via Conditional Probability, Mushtaq K. Abd Al-Rahem
A Multidimensional Technique For Measuring Consensus Within Groups Via Conditional Probability, Mushtaq K. Abd Al-Rahem
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
A recent increase in the use of the term "consensus" in various fields has led researchers to develop various ways to measure the consensus within and across groups depending on the areas. Numerous studies use the mean or the variance alone as a measure of consensus, or lack of consensus. Most of the time, high variance is viewed as more disagreement in a group. Using the variance as a measure of disagreement is meaningful in an exact comparison cases (same group, same mean). However, it could be meaningless when it is used to compare groups that have different sizes, or …
Helping Individuals Vs. Fixing The System: Distinguishing Facets Of Adolescent Civic Reasoning, Lauren M. Alvis
Helping Individuals Vs. Fixing The System: Distinguishing Facets Of Adolescent Civic Reasoning, Lauren M. Alvis
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The current study examined associations among adolescents' civic behaviors, sociomoral judgments, and welfare- and justice-oriented reasoning. Participants included 721 adolescents (Mage = 15.87, SD = 1.28; 90% Caucasian; 55.6% female) living in a University city in a Mid-Atlantic state. Participants completed survey questionnaires that assessed sociomoral judgments for and involvement in civic behaviors, as well as a free-response questionnaire that assessed justifications for various forms of civic engagement. Welfare-oriented reasoning was defined as justifications that reflected a sense of obligation to address the welfare of individuals in need, whereas justice-oriented reasoning was reflected in adolescents' use of structural justifications, which …
Exploring Staff Turnover In A Large-Scale Ebt Implementation Initiative, Laurel A. Brabson
Exploring Staff Turnover In A Large-Scale Ebt Implementation Initiative, Laurel A. Brabson
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Staff turnover in the behavioral health field is a substantial and chronic problem with implications for both agencies and clients (Ben-Dror, 1994). Increased focus on the implementation of evidence-based treatments (EBT) has further highlighted the problems associated with turnover, as EBT trainings are particularly costly and time-consuming for clinicians and their agencies (Cook, Biyanova, & Coyne, 2009). The current study examined rates and predictors of turnover within an EBT implementation initiative designed to assess the effectiveness of three different training models. Data was collected from 110 families, 100 clinicians, 50 supervisors, and 50 administrators involved in the state-wide implementation of …
Skeletal Muscle Arteriole Dysfunction And Microvessel Density In Metabolic Syndrome And Depression: How Exercise Can Be Used As An Intervention, Kayla Whitney Branyan
Skeletal Muscle Arteriole Dysfunction And Microvessel Density In Metabolic Syndrome And Depression: How Exercise Can Be Used As An Intervention, Kayla Whitney Branyan
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The present study examined the effect of unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) on peripheral microvessel function in healthy and metabolic syndrome (MetS) rodents, and whether exercise training could prevent the vascular dysfunction associated with UCMS. Our initial hypothesis was that: 1) LZRs exposed to UCMS would have peripheral microvascular dysfunction similar to that evident in the OZRs controls due to a reduction in NO bioavailability and an increase in ROS production; 2) the comorbidity between MetS exposed to UCMS will exacerbate the already existing peripheral microvascular dysfunction; 3) exercise could limit the peripheral microvascular dysfunction by decreasing oxidative stress and …

Examining The Impact Of A Short-Term Psychological Skills Training Program On Dancers' Coping Skills, Pain Appraisals, And Injuries, Leigh A. Bryant
Examining The Impact Of A Short-Term Psychological Skills Training Program On Dancers' Coping Skills, Pain Appraisals, And Injuries, Leigh A. Bryant
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Psychological skills interventions are often conducted with individual athletes and sports teams in an effort to build mental toughness, prevent injury, or enhance performance. Dancers remain an underserved population in the delivery of sport/performance psychology services, with extremely limited literature addressing college dance students. The dance community has several inherent physical and psychosocial demands, which can promote resilience. However, dancers may also strive to meet these demands by employing unhealthy coping strategies that could be linked to maladaptive appraisals and increased injury risk. The present study examined the impact of a psychological skills intervention program on college dance students' (N …
More Than Just Attendance: Individualistic Versus Collective Religious Socialization On Religious Change, Caitlin Halligan
More Than Just Attendance: Individualistic Versus Collective Religious Socialization On Religious Change, Caitlin Halligan
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
With the recent rise in individuals not identifying with a religion, now is a prime time to research disaffiliation. Using data from the National Study of Youth and Religion, the present study examines whether or not collective religious participation in early adolescence, above and beyond individualistic religious participation, reduces the likelihood of disaffiliation in young adulthood. The results show that those who attended a religious youth group in early adolescence were less likely to disaffiliate in early adulthood than those who did not attend. Youth group seems to have a unique role in retaining youth involvement in the church.
Investigating Stress Response Across Integrated Biological Systems, Alice A. Han
Investigating Stress Response Across Integrated Biological Systems, Alice A. Han
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The impact that a stressor has on a living system, whether it is on a cellular, organ, or even a whole organism level, can affect the overall health of the system. Monitoring the biochemical response resulting from a stressful experience offers insight into the numerous potential outcomes ranging on the spectrum of survival and death. Accessing this information not only provides a heightened understanding of the biochemical adaptions that occur, but also allows for the development of prediction models (to assess prospective influences of the stressor) or potential therapeutic treatments (to alleviate adverse effects) using measurable, quantifiable, and comparable metrics. …
Financial Decision Making, Price, And Consumer Financial Well-Being: A Multiple Methodology Inquiry Of The Cognitions, Emotional Coping Responses, And Brand Measures In The Healthcare Service Industry, Joshua D. Dorsey
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Article 1: Financial bankruptcy, particularly those as a result of healthcare expenses, has become a pervasive issue in the United States. This article examines a basic premise for the research, that healthcare is not viewed, by consumers, consistently with other exchanges, leading to detachment and disengagement within the purchase experience (e.g., a lack of price searching and price comparison behaviors) and disadvantageous consequences for financial well-being. Subsequently, the studies test cognitive (i.e., knowledge structures) and emotional constructs (i.e., emotion regulation), with a between-subjects experimental methodology (three studies), that may further unfurl the decision process for healthcare consumers. Contributions to the …
