Identifying Ways Of Enhancing The Psychological Functioning In Victims Of Sexual Offences From Clinical And Justice System Management Perspectives, Stacy L. Gall
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Research efforts in the field of sexual victimisation have traditionally focussed on identifying ways to increase reporting rates. While reporting rates still remain low with estimates in the 10-15% vicinity (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1996; Australian Institute of Criminology. 2000), there is thought to have been an increase and stabilisation of reporting rates in recent years (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1998, 2002; Roberts & Gebotys, 1992). Brought on by this increase and stabilisation of reporting rates, is a need to expand the research focus to include the effective management of victims of sexual offences. Management can take place on two …
On The Conceptual And Linguistic Activity Of Psychologists: The Study Of Behavior From The 1890s To The 1990s And Beyond, David E. Leary
On The Conceptual And Linguistic Activity Of Psychologists: The Study Of Behavior From The 1890s To The 1990s And Beyond, David E. Leary
Psychology Faculty Publications
In the early twentieth century psychology became the study of "behavior." This article reviews developments within animal psychology, functional psychology, and American society and culture that help explain how a term rarely used in the first years of the century became not only an accepted scientific concept but even, for many, an allencompassing label for the entire subject matter of the discipline. The subsequent conceptual and linguistic activity of John B. Watson, Edward C. Tolman, Clark L. Hull, and B.F. Skinner, as they attempted to explain "behavior" throughout the course of the twentieth century, is then discussed. Finally, the article …
The Advantage For Name -Designated Characters During Reading, Kelly A. Peracchi
The Advantage For Name -Designated Characters During Reading, Kelly A. Peracchi
Doctoral Dissertations
When two characters are mentioned in a text, one referred to by a title (e.g., professor) and one referred to by a proper name (e.g., Christopher), the character referred to by the name is more accessible in memory. Although there has been a lot of research documenting the advantages that name-designated characters have over title-designated characters, most of it has done so using very short texts. The experiments reported in this dissertation utilized longer passages of text to examine whether certain variables that are known to affect accessibility, such as order of mention, number of mentions, elaboration, and distance, will …

Self -Care, Perceived Rewards & Hazards, And Personal & Professional Satisfaction In Psychologists In Independent Practice, Joshua M. Buley
Self -Care, Perceived Rewards & Hazards, And Personal & Professional Satisfaction In Psychologists In Independent Practice, Joshua M. Buley
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There has been a recent emphasis in the professional literature on the importance of psychologists utilizing a variety of self-care activities in order to buffer against and combat the stressors inherent to their careers. In addition, it has been suggested that due to the proliferation of managed care and other "seismic shifts" within the profession, that hazards associated with the career have increased, while rewards have decreased. There is currently limited information available regarding the extent to which psychologists in independent practice engage in various self-care activities, the perceived helpfulness of engaging in these activities, and relationships among self-care and …

Social Acceptance Of Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome, Rebekah M. Craig
Social Acceptance Of Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome, Rebekah M. Craig
Modern Psychological Studies
Sixty college students from two Biopsychology classes at Central Connecticut State University were presented with one of three scenarios. Scenario one described an adolescent with Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (TS) with complex tics, in which he was making obscene gestures, yelling, and screaming out curses in the middle of class. Scenario two described an adolescent with TS with simple tics, in which he was tapping his foot and making loud honking sounds in the middle of class. Scenario three described an adolescent without TS, in which he was not portraying a motor movement or a vocal sound. Students responded …
Using The Development Of And Differences On Self-Report Measures To Learn Data Analysis, Jonathan W. Amburgey, Donald A. Saucier
Using The Development Of And Differences On Self-Report Measures To Learn Data Analysis, Jonathan W. Amburgey, Donald A. Saucier
Modern Psychological Studies
The purpose of the current study was to collect data from self-report measures (happiness, extraversion, depression, self-image, and self-esteem) created by laboratory students in conjunction with validated measures of state self-esteem, sensation seeking, and demographic variables that would allow for the reasonable application of a variety of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to learn data analysis. An undergraduate under faculty supervision performed reliability analysis, correlational analysis, independent samples t tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and created a multiple regression model to better understand the application and conceptual logic underlying many of the statistical tests …
The Effect Of Group Size On Social Facilitation And Social Loafing As Measured In Productivity, Anissa Adams, Jenny Counard
The Effect Of Group Size On Social Facilitation And Social Loafing As Measured In Productivity, Anissa Adams, Jenny Counard
Modern Psychological Studies
In recent years, there has been increased awareness in the apparent change of individual behavior when placed in a group. This study was designed to examine the relationship between group size and productivity. All 48 participants took part in each of the three trials. In each trial they were given a word (duct tape, knife or water) and worked as an individual, pair, or group of four to generate uses for that word. It was a prediction of this experiment that individual productivity would increase when the participant worked as a pair. However, it was also expected that the individuals' …
Adolescent Delinquent Behavior And Well-Being: Family-Peer Linkages, Pallavi D. Visvanathan
Adolescent Delinquent Behavior And Well-Being: Family-Peer Linkages, Pallavi D. Visvanathan
Modern Psychological Studies
Recent acts of aggressive and delinquent behavior have initiated a search for the predictors of adolescent delinquent behavior. Poor psychological well-being could lead to depression, suicide, and apathy which may be related to delinquency. Research indicates that parent influences on well-being influence the quality of peer relationships which then influences delinquent behavior. This review examines direct and interactional influences of aspects of the parent-adolescent and peer relationships on different aspects of adolescent wellbeing and delinquent behavior. Theories/models regarding the linkages between family and peer groups are related to research studies in an attempt to find the most appropriate model. Most …
Life Experience In Selective Attention, Jacquelyn M. Davis
Life Experience In Selective Attention, Jacquelyn M. Davis
Modern Psychological Studies
This correlational study investigated the role of substance use and experience in selective attention using a modified Stroop color-naming task. Thirty-three individuals completed Adult Substance Use Surveys and a computergenerated Stroop task modified by substituting drug words for color names. The prediction was that level of life disruption would interrupt task performance such that those scoring higher on disruption would display slower reaction times. Results revealed life disruption to be significantly correlated with reaction time. Those scoring highest on the disruption measure exhibited slower Stroop reaction times than those with lower disruption scores. These results suggest that treatment interventions targeting …
Unfolding The Mystery Of Aggression In Children And Adolescents, Erin Rapien
Unfolding The Mystery Of Aggression In Children And Adolescents, Erin Rapien
Modern Psychological Studies
Since 1996 there have been 17 reported cases of violence in U.S. schools by children ranging in age from 11 to 18. These cases have prompted an increase in research on risk factors and correlates of aggression. A review of this new literature would serve to highlight common findings and explain discrepancies. In this literature review I will discuss family, peer, and community influences as factors in the development of aggression in children. Within each context are several influencing factors that contribute to the development of aggression. I will also discuss possible implications, interventions, and future research needs as well …
Communication Of Where An Event Occurred By A Gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla), Megan L. Hoffman
Communication Of Where An Event Occurred By A Gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla), Megan L. Hoffman
Modern Psychological Studies
Episodic-like memory for the "where" component of unique events was examined in an adult gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla). The gorilla witnessed a unique event, performed by an experimenter (e.g. watching an experimenter blow bubbles) at one of three locations surrounding his enclosure. After a 4 to 17 minute retention interval, a tester presented the gorilla with photographs of the three locations, which were mounted on wooden cards, and asked the gorilla where the event had occurred. The gorilla communicated his choice by handing a card to the tester and was rewarded if correct. The gorilla was significantly above chance at …
The Need For An Interdisciplinary Field Of Hate Studies, Kenneth S. Stern
The Need For An Interdisciplinary Field Of Hate Studies, Kenneth S. Stern
Journal of Hate Studies
Hate is a normative part of the human experience. Look at history. Regardless of when, where, under what economic or political system, what major religion is followed, or any other variable, people have always had the capacity to define someone else as an “other,” and hate him, often with deadly results.
Identity-Driven Violence: Reclaiming Civil Society, Kenneth R. Hoover, Vernon D. Johnson
Identity-Driven Violence: Reclaiming Civil Society, Kenneth R. Hoover, Vernon D. Johnson
Journal of Hate Studies
The increase in identity-based violence both domestically and internationally is focusing attention on the need for proactive approaches to reconciliation. The rise of militia movements, and the associated phenomenon of malicious racial harassment in the Pacific Northwest, demonstrates the dangers arising from identity-driven violence. The broad scale success of an anti-affirmative action initiative illustrates the wider significance of discriminatory attitudes. This article addresses those dangers by illustrating the convergence of two kinds of theories about identity-based violence. We will demonstrate how individual- level explanation taken from empirical work in the field of developmental psychology fits with social movement theory to …

Psychological Versus Generic Critical Thinking As Predictors And Outcome Measures In A Large Undergraduate Human Development Course, Robert L. Williams, Renee Oliver, Susan Stockdale
Psychological Versus Generic Critical Thinking As Predictors And Outcome Measures In A Large Undergraduate Human Development Course, Robert L. Williams, Renee Oliver, Susan Stockdale
Faculty Articles
This article compares the predictive and outcome status of a subject-specific versus a generic measure of critical thinking in a large undergraduate course. Specifically, the predictive potential of critical thinking was assessed with respect to test performance, both for tests requiring critical thinking and for those requiring only direct recall. This paper also examines the extent to which answering practice-exam questions with embedded psychological critical thinking issues produced improvement in critical thinking. The impact of the treatment on the critical thinking of students who performed well or poorly on the course tests requiring considerable application of critical thinking was assessed.

Measuring The Performance Of Teams Formulated According To Problem Solving Style Among Undergraduate Students, Sophia K. Scott
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Change is ubiquitous and needs to be managed. Change can be managed though problem-solving. Teams are the vehicle that many organizations use to accomplish problem-solving. Adaption-Innovation theory stipulates that people differ in how they approach problem-solving, which is called style. This study attempted to assess whether understanding problem-solving style affected the performance of teams. The method used in this study was an experiment utilizing the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) to measure problem-solving style and a puzzle to measure performance of teams. The independent variable was a lesson on understanding KAI. A total of 312 participants in 44 teams were included …

Social Interest And Psychopathy As Predictors Of Offender Outcomes, Kathryn A. Springer
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Previous research (Daugherty, Murphy, & Puagh, 2001) has suggested that the Sulliman Scale of Social Interest (SSSI) is an effective predictor of recidivism in criminal offenders. The purpose of the present study was to extend the previous investigation and to examine the relationship between the concepts of social interest and psychopathy and how each are related to the prediction of criminal behavior. The SSSI is based on Adler's conceptualization of social interest as concern for others and optimism with regard to one's view of the world. The Psychopathic Personality Inventory Short Form (PPI-SF) is based on Cleckley's notion of psychopathy …
Father Role Identity : An Exploration Of The Construct And Its Measurement, Michelle J. Gobetz
Father Role Identity : An Exploration Of The Construct And Its Measurement, Michelle J. Gobetz
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
There is relatively little research in respect of father’s and their post-divorce contact with their children. Preliminary research suggests father’s identification with the parent role may play an influential role in this contact. Though the Self Perceptions of the Parental Role Questionnaire (SPPE) has been utilised to measure father’s identification with the parent role, the psychometric properties of this instrument have yet to be systemically investigated. The lack of psychometric information about the SPPR seriously limits this instruments utility. The aim of the current study was twofold. Firstly, to determine the psychometric properties of a formal measure of parent role …
