Clinical Assessment, James Wood, Howard Garb, Scott Lilienfeld Jan 2002

Clinical Assessment, James Wood, Howard Garb, Scott Lilienfeld

Departmental Papers (Psych)

Are clinical psychologists' assessment practices cost-effective? Are they scientifically sound? Are they fair and unbiased? Financial presssures from managed care interests, recent developments in the law, and multicultural issues are forcing the profession to confront these hard questions regarding accountability. Our review discusses the important changes that have begun to alter the field of personality assessment and describes recent research on clinical judgment and its implications for the future. We conclude that clinical psychology can adapt to future conditions by developing assessment strategies that are economical, scientifically sound, and culturally sensitive.

Effective Use Of Projective Techniques In Clinical Practice: Let The Data Help With Selection And Interpretation, Howard Garb, James Wood, Scott Lilienfeld, M. Nezworski Jan 2002

Effective Use Of Projective Techniques In Clinical Practice: Let The Data Help With Selection And Interpretation, Howard Garb, James Wood, Scott Lilienfeld, M. Nezworski

Departmental Papers (Psych)

By learning about the validity of individual test scores, psychologists can avoid using scores that are invalid and making judgments that are potentially harmful to their clients. This is important not only for improving clinical and forensic practice but also for avoiding lawsuits. In this article, the effective use of projective techniques is described, with attention to the overperception of psychopathology, diagnosis and the description of symptoms, and the detection of child abuse. Guidelines are offered for using the Rorschach, Thematic Apperception Test, human figure drawings, and the Washington University Sentence Completion Test.

Relational Aggression In Early Adolescent Girls, Sara M. Bucknam Jan 2002

Relational Aggression In Early Adolescent Girls, Sara M. Bucknam

Graduate Research Papers

There are differences in aggressive behavior between early adolescent boys and girls. Girls use relational aggressive methods to gain control over their peers. In general, schools do not directly address this form of aggression. School counselors are in the position to reduce relational aggression in schools. Assessment must first be performed in order to address the level of aggression in girls. This can be completed through questionnaires or focus groups. There are several prevention and intervention methods that be incorporated in schools. These methods can reduce relational aggression in early adolescent girls.

Collaboration Over Avoidance: Conflict Management Strategies In State-Owned Enterprises In China, Shuang Liu, Guo-Ming Chen Jan 2002

Collaboration Over Avoidance: Conflict Management Strategies In State-Owned Enterprises In China, Shuang Liu, Guo-Ming Chen

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

This study reports the application of Organizational Communication Conflict Instrument in Chinese state-owned enterprise. Principal component analysis has revealed a 5-factor structure, which conceptually corresponds to the five conflict strategies proposed by Blake and Mouton. Results also indicate that the frequency of employing the five strategies is in the rank order of collaboration, competition, compromise and accommodation, and avoidance. The impact of demographic data on conflict strategies as well was explored. Findings reinforce the argument that the study of conflict strategies should take cultural context into consideration and that the models developed in the West may not work successfully in …

Retrospect And Prospect In The Psychological Study Of Families., James P. Mchale, Wendy S. Grolnick

Faculty Books

Provides an overview of family group dynamics. First, the authors draw on the work of the anthropologist S. Harrell to describe 4 basic family system formations. The authors then consider more specifically family groups in the US and the roots of American psychologists' current belief system about "optimal" family functioning. Next, the authors spotlight recent research on coparenting and family group process in the nuclear family group and discuss studies linking these dynamics to important indicators of young children's development and adaptation. The authors emphasize the need to extend this fledging knowledge base on how coparental and family group processes …

Extending Direct Manipulation In A Text Editor, David G. Novick, Francisco Romero, Edgar Rene Saenz, Armando Sandoval Jan 2002

Extending Direct Manipulation In A Text Editor, David G. Novick, Francisco Romero, Edgar Rene Saenz, Armando Sandoval

Departmental Papers (CS)

This paper describes the implementation of a prototype text editor that incorporates conversation-like features through the direct-manipulation modality. In this way, traditional direct-manipulation interaction techniques such as direct reference via pointing can be extended to include techniques more commonly associated with human conversation, such as negotiation of reference. The paper illustrates the use of the prototype with an extended example, and discusses research issues raised by the implementation.

Agency In The Life Course: Concepts And Processes, Lisa J. Crockett Jan 2002

Agency In The Life Course: Concepts And Processes, Lisa J. Crockett

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The capacity of humans to influence their lives has long been a theme within Western literature, philosophy, and psychology. In recent years, the theme of human agency has crystallized in the psychological literature in the concepts of control, self-regulation, and self-efficacy. As a result, considerable attention has been devoted to the psychological processes through which control is exerted, such as cognitive appraisals, goal setting, and planning, as well as control beliefs and the potentially debilitating effects of loss of control (e.g., Bandura, 1997; Boekaerts, Pintrich, & Zeidner, 2000; Carver & Scheier, 1998; Seligman, 1975). Although this body of work has …

Summary Report On The Bird Friendly Building Program: Effect Of Light Reduction On Collision Of Migratory Birds., Lesley J. Evans Ogden Jan 2002

Summary Report On The Bird Friendly Building Program: Effect Of Light Reduction On Collision Of Migratory Birds., Lesley J. Evans Ogden

Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP)

Most migratory songbirds are nocturnal migrants, which makes them vulnerable to collision with lighted structures they encounter along their flight path during migration. The Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) was formed by a group of concerned citizens to rescue and relocate disoriented birds trapped in the city centre, and to record the number and species of birds killed due to collision. Following the initiation of the Bird Friendly Building (BFB) Program by FLAP and World Wildlife Fund Canada in 1997, light emissions at 16 buildings in the downtown core of Toronto were also monitored during migration seasons. This report summarizes …
