Religious Coping And College Adjustment: A Study Of An Elite Sample, Jeannie Shannon Mood Jan 2001

Religious Coping And College Adjustment: A Study Of An Elite Sample, Jeannie Shannon Mood

Honors Theses

This study sought to further explore the possible role of religious involvement on college adjustment. Religion was viewed as a multidimensional construct, assessed by means of the Religious Problem Solving Scales (RPSS) developed by Pargament et al. (1988). Nine different areas of adjustment were targeted with the College Adjustment Scales (CAS) developed by Anton and Reed (1991). Freshman honors students were assessed at the beginning and end of their first semester in college. Data analysis was conducted in three parts: the interscorer reliability of both the RPSS and CAS, the temporal stability of the RPSS, and the criterion-related validity of …

The Influence Of Retention Intervals And Warning Signals On Prospective Memory., Michael Andrew Sarapata Jan 2001

The Influence Of Retention Intervals And Warning Signals On Prospective Memory., Michael Andrew Sarapata

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Prospective memory, memory for future events, is used for remembering duties and obligations that all people must complete. Past research has contributed to our understanding of the bases of prospective memory tasks (time versus event) and the kinds of situations requiring prospective memory (appointments, chores, deadlines, and medications). However, research has yet to examine how prospective remembering unfolds over time. For example, very little is known about how such remembering is affected by the time from when the task is encoded to the time that a task must be conducted (the retention interval), the length of the time in which …


Denial And Locus Of Control In Cardiac Rehabilitation, Jami Barto Hoxmeier Jan 2001

Denial And Locus Of Control In Cardiac Rehabilitation, Jami Barto Hoxmeier

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Denial is a defense mechanism cardiac patients use to cope with the trauma of a cardiac event. Empirical findings document positive and negative effects of denial on cardiac patients' health and health-promoting behavior. Theoretical models of stress and coping suggest denial can interfere with health-promoting behavior when individuals are in control of variables affecting their health. This study addressed the research question: What effect do denial and internal locus of control have on exercise adherence and physiological gains in cardiac rehabilitation? One hundred-thirty patients in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program completed the Cardiac Denial of Impact Scale, the Multidimensional Health …


Disordered Eating And Its Psychosocial Correlates Among Hispanic Adolescent Females, Annette Santiago Jan 2001

Disordered Eating And Its Psychosocial Correlates Among Hispanic Adolescent Females, Annette Santiago

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the incidence of disordered eating and its relationship with acculturation, depression, and body dissatisfaction among Hispanic adolescent females. One hundred and five students enrolled at two midwestern high schools completed a Student Demographic Questionnaire, the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (Marin & Gamba, 1996), the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996), the Body Dissatisfaction Subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory (Garner, Olmstead, & Polivy, 1983), and the Eating Attitudes Test (Garner, Olmstead, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982). Two null hypotheses were examined. The first investigated the relationship among acculturation, depression, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating utilizing …


Friends Who Neglect Their Friends For Dating Partners: Exploring Relational Aggression, Overt Aggression And Emotional Reactions In Adolescents, Lisa Diane D'Amico Jan 2001

Friends Who Neglect Their Friends For Dating Partners: Exploring Relational Aggression, Overt Aggression And Emotional Reactions In Adolescents, Lisa Diane D'Amico

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Prior research on relational aggression has been limited by failing to look at high school students and by not considering the context in which relational aggression may occur in adolescence. Changes that occur during adolescence may make relational aggression both especially salient and hurtful in this population. For example, friendships during adolescence are more intimate than during any other developmental period. It is also during adolescence when dating relationships are prevalent, taking the primary focus off of same-sex peer relations. The purpose of this study was to examine how adolescents react (both emotionally and behaviorally) when their friend neglects them …


Perceptions Of Family Environment, Problem -Solving Appraisal And Impact Of Parental Alcoholism Among Adult Children Of Alcoholics, Wayne Allen Hume Jr. Jan 2001

Perceptions Of Family Environment, Problem -Solving Appraisal And Impact Of Parental Alcoholism Among Adult Children Of Alcoholics, Wayne Allen Hume Jr.

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine intragroup differences within the ACOA population. Specifically, the contructs of family environment and problem-solving appraisal were utilized to predict the impact of parental alcoholism on self-selected ACOAs. The sample of ACOAs utilized for this study was recruited from undergraduatePsychology courses at a state university in the Pacific Northwest. Two hundred and seventy-five participants completed questionnaires; however, only 105 individuals met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The following null hypothesis was tested by a stepwise canonical discriminant analysis: No subset of perceived family environment variables (cohesion, expressiveness, conflict, organization, and …


Psychologist Gender And Sex Bias In Diagnosing Histrionic And Narcissistic Personality Disorders, Kevin B. Erickson Jan 2001

Psychologist Gender And Sex Bias In Diagnosing Histrionic And Narcissistic Personality Disorders, Kevin B. Erickson

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the relative influence of gender and sex on psychologists' diagnoses of histrionic (HPD) and narcissistic (NPD) personality disorders. Gender was defined according to conventional behavioral norms, and included the categories of masculine, feminine, and androgynous. Sex was defined by biological features, and included the categories of male, female, and sex-unspecified. Psychologists were mailed a survey and asked to assign a single diagnosis to a clinical case vignette that was equally representative of DSM-IV (APA, 1994) HPD and NPD criteria, but which varied regarding the nine possible pairings of a gender and a sex. A total of 184 …


The Comparative Effects Of Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing (Emdr) And Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Cbt) In The Treatment Of Depression, William Andrew Hogan Jan 2001

The Comparative Effects Of Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing (Emdr) And Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Cbt) In The Treatment Of Depression, William Andrew Hogan

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique, short-term therapy shown to be effective in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Application of EMDR to the treatment of depression was considered based upon the relationship between negative life experience and symptom onset, a pattern common to both PTSD and depression. Evaluation of the efficacy of EMDR in the treatment of depression was accomplished via a comparison with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Because EMDR has been shown to be effective in the treatment of PTSD, the impact of EMDR and CBT upon symptoms comorbid to depression was investigated. EMDR …


The Effect Of Individual Counseling On Hope And Its Impact On The Utilization Of Services By Individuals With Hiv Disease, Barry Michael Vesciglio Jan 2001

The Effect Of Individual Counseling On Hope And Its Impact On The Utilization Of Services By Individuals With Hiv Disease, Barry Michael Vesciglio

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The interrelationships of participation in counseling, level of hope, and care service utilization in a sample of individuals with HIV disease was the focus of this study. It was hypothesized that individual counseling would improve an HIV-positive person's level of hope, and would increase participation in additional care services. It was also hypothesized that individuals with more hope would seek a greater number of care services. The Health Status Questionnaire, which contains the Hope Scale, and the Social Support Questionnaire were used to collect data. Participation in individual counseling was not related to level of hope. Additionally, stage of illness …


The Impact Of Creative Problem Solving For Generaleducation Intervention Teams On Team Members' Ratings Of Treatment Acceptability, Jennifer L. Grimes Jan 2001

The Impact Of Creative Problem Solving For Generaleducation Intervention Teams On Team Members' Ratings Of Treatment Acceptability, Jennifer L. Grimes

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many states require or recommend school-based, problem-solving teams in an effort to develop interventions to address student and teacher needs. Often these teams have not been trained in a structured problem-solving process, which is thought to improve the quality of interventions developed by a team. Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is a problem-solving process developed from creativity and cognitivePsychology literature and has been found to increase team effectiveness. CPS has been modified for use with school-based, problem-solving teams, which are called GeneralEducation Intervention (GEI) teams in the state of Indiana, to assist in developing quality interventions. This modified process is called …


Proximate And Ultimate Factors Contributing To The Variation In A Sexually Dimorphic Signal In Sceloporus Lizards, Vanessa S. Quinn Jan 2001

Proximate And Ultimate Factors Contributing To The Variation In A Sexually Dimorphic Signal In Sceloporus Lizards, Vanessa S. Quinn

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Animals communicate in many different ways using a variety of signals to send information to conspecifics and heterospecifics. These systems consist of at least two individuals, signalers and receivers. Signalers produce and physiologically control the production of signals and send the signal into the environment. Receivers obtain signals via sensory receptors, process information in the central nervous system, and respond in some manner. Selective forces could act on any one, or a combination of, these factors to lead to sex and species differences. Thus, to properly study the evolution of these systems, evolutionary biologists must examine multiple levels. I have …

The Use Of A Creative Problem Solving Process With Generaleducation Intervention Teams, Angela Cristine Mckinney

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the impact of training GeneralEducation Intervention (GEI) teams in Creative Problem Solving (CPS). CPS is a process designed to organize problem solving efforts. Through the process users identify problems, generate novel and useful ideas to address problems, and plan for successful implementation of solutions. Using an experimental design, GEI teams trained in CPS and untrained GEI teams were compared on the number of referrals to the GEI team, the rate of referrals to specialEducation, the rate of non-verifiable referrals, and ratings of team effectiveness. Additional areas explored were GEI teams' perceptions of how the GEI team benefits …
