The Psychological Modulation Of The Immune System: A Meta-Analysis, Sara D. Cottrill Jan 1995

The Psychological Modulation Of The Immune System: A Meta-Analysis, Sara D. Cottrill

Open Access Dissertations

In the mid seventies, Robert Ader and Nicholas Cohen (1975) conducted and published a series of experiments that are generally recognized as a major turning point for the behavioral and physical sciences. In classical conditioning experiments, Ader and Cohen were able to weaken the immune system reaction against foreign material in rats. The experiments demonstrated that the "self-regulating and autonomous" immune system was vulnerable to behavioral factors. These experiments seemed to galvanize a community of scientists who had hypothesized like scientists and philosophers before them the role of emotional states in influencing physiological processes.

The preeminent discipline which has evolved …

A Transtheoretical Investigation Of Immoderate Drinking In College, Jeffrey Peter Migneault Jan 1995

A Transtheoretical Investigation Of Immoderate Drinking In College, Jeffrey Peter Migneault

Open Access Dissertations

Immoderate alcohol use is prevalent on college campuses and results in high levels of negative consequences including injury, social, academic, and occupational disruption, increased levels of sexually transmitted disease, and emotional complaint. This study applied the Transtheoretical Model of Change to immoderate alcohol use in a cross-sectional study of 629 college students. This model has proven useful as a tool of investigation of and intervention on many other health related behaviors.

The Transtheoretical Model is a model of intentional behavior change that is composed of five interrelated multi-dimensional constructs. This investigation developed measures of four of these constructs. Two measurement …

Vector Competence In Lyme Disease : Studies On Ixodes Scapularis, Dermacentor Variabilis, And Amblyomma Americanum, Min-Tsung Yeh

Open Access Dissertations

Ticks in the Ixodes ricinus-species complex have been implicated as vectors of Lyme disease spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi). A variety of other ticks, notably American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) and Lone Star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) in the U.S., appear incapable of transmitting Lyme disease spirochetes despite ingesting these bacteria. In this study, I confirmed that deer ticks, but not dog ticks or Lone Star ticks became infected with Lyme disease spirochetes after feeding on infected hosts. In addition, I assessed several potential physiologic factors that could affect the ability of ticks to acquire, maintain, …
