Associations Of Discrimination With Drinking Behavior In Multiracial College Students: Protective Role Of Racial Socialization, Fatima Dobani
Associations Of Discrimination With Drinking Behavior In Multiracial College Students: Protective Role Of Racial Socialization, Fatima Dobani
Theses - ALL
Despite the rapid growth of the Multiracial population in the United States, less is known about correlates of their health behaviors. Nascent findings demonstrate elevated rates of drinking behavior among Multiracial college students compared to their monoracial counterparts. Theoretical models posit that racial socialization by primary caregivers may change the magnitude of the relationship of discrimination with drinking behavior among Multiracial individuals. The role of racial socialization, however, has not been tested specifically among Multiracial college students. In this cross-sectional survey study, 193 undergraduate students (Mage = 20 years [SD = 1.33]; 30% male; 33% Greek affiliated) reporting lifetime alcohol …
The Importance Of Treatment Integrity: Examining The Effect Of Dosage On Intervention Outcomes, Samantha C. Maguire
The Importance Of Treatment Integrity: Examining The Effect Of Dosage On Intervention Outcomes, Samantha C. Maguire
Theses - ALL
Treatment integrity is a critical component to evaluating the impact of interventions (Collier-Meek et al., 2018). However, one frequently underreported and unacknowledged dimension of treatment integrity is intervention dosage. Determining the amount of treatment (i.e., dosage) necessary to produce desired changes is important to increasing our understanding of the impact of an intervention and the development of a more efficient and precise method of organizing and delivering treatments (Codding et al., 2016). Utilizing data (n = 391) from four individual randomized control trials and three clustered randomized control trials, the purpose of the present study was to descriptively examine the …
How To Survive The Apocalypse: Using Film, Television, And Video Games As Gateways To Self-Analysis, Braeden Raymer
How To Survive The Apocalypse: Using Film, Television, And Video Games As Gateways To Self-Analysis, Braeden Raymer
Theses - ALL
This thesis serves as an investigation on the use of film, television, and video games as access points for personal analysis in imagined scenarios. When creating a fictional world, characters' motivations and behaviors are often based on real-life experiences. In the apocalypse genre, understanding how a character might behave in such an extreme circumstance can be difficult to predict, considering few have lived through comparable conditions. To supplement personal experiences and observations, a creator might use other stories as gateways to self-examination. The investigation begins in film, exploring how stories provide a viewer with new experiences that they can then …
Examining The Efficacy Of Providing Writing Prompt Choices And Performance Feedback: A Randomized Controlled Trial, Josh Circe
Theses - ALL
Research has indicated that the majority of students in the United States are not able to write at the proficient level (Persky et al., 2003). Prior research has demonstrated that performance feedback interventions successfully lead to students' gains in writing fluency (Hier & Eckert, 2014; Hier & Eckert, 2016; Truckenmiller et al., 2014), and that providing students with academic choices benefits their academic performance (Dickerson & Creedon, 1981; Steinman 2017). The goal of this study was to examine the combined and isolated effects of two academic interventions (i.e., providing writing prompt choices and performance feedback) on third-grade students' writing performance. …
The Influence Of Self-Compassion On Perceived Stress Reactivity, Emily C. Helminen
The Influence Of Self-Compassion On Perceived Stress Reactivity, Emily C. Helminen
Theses - ALL
Contemplative psychological traits (e.g., mindfulness and self-compassion) have become a popular area of research in recent years, often in the context of their influence on stress (Creswell & Lindsay, 2014). One promising subset of contemplative science research demonstrates that higher levels of contemplative traits are associated with decreased physiological stress reactivity during psychosocial stress induction. This is important due to the negative health outcomes that are associated with persistently heightened stress reactivity. Research investigating self-compassion has demonstrated that higher levels of trait self-compassion are associated with lower levels of stress reactivity (Breines et al., 2015; Luo et al., 2018). Currently, …
Reflections From The In-Between: Visualizing The Mental Thresholds Of Dissociation, Katherine Virag
Reflections From The In-Between: Visualizing The Mental Thresholds Of Dissociation, Katherine Virag
Theses - ALL
I am fascinated by the state of being in-between; by the mental spaces that are somehow neither here nor there, but also somehow both here and there. At a young age, I began to experience depersonalization and derealization, and this dissociated state left me feeling trapped somewhere on the threshold of reality and non-reality. My artistic practice is concerned with the psychological antitheses of dissociation – comfort vs discomfort, safety vs danger, and reality vs non-reality, and the continuum of space between these polarities. Often through large-scale installations, I create a physical space for the viewer to enter. These spaces, …
Family History Of Alcohol Use Disorder As A Predictor Of Endogenous Pain Modulatory Function, Kyle Mackenzie White
Family History Of Alcohol Use Disorder As A Predictor Of Endogenous Pain Modulatory Function, Kyle Mackenzie White
Theses - ALL
Family history of alcohol use disorder (AUD) is frequently endorsed by chronic pain patients. Although individuals with a family history of AUD have demonstrated enhanced sensitivity to painful stimulation, we are not aware of any previous research that has examined clinically-relevant endogenous pain modulation (i.e., capacity to inhibit or facilitate pain) in this population. The goal of this study was to test family history of AUD as a predictor of conditioned pain modulation, offset analgesia, and temporal summation among a sample of moderate-to-heavy drinkers. Participants (N = 235; 58.3% male; Mage = 34.3, SD = 12.3) were evaluated for family …
