Exploring The Relationship Between Facets Of Psychopathy And Co-Occurring Psychopathology: Do Gender And Measurement Approach Matter?, Elizabeth Hunt Jun 2016

Exploring The Relationship Between Facets Of Psychopathy And Co-Occurring Psychopathology: Do Gender And Measurement Approach Matter?, Elizabeth Hunt

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Psychopathy is a maladaptive personality disorder associated with a host of negative outcomes, including criminal behavior, psychopathology, and self-harm. Factor 1 (F1) and Factor 2 (F2) psychopathy show differential associations with psychopathology. However, evidence suggests that the statistical interaction of F1 and F2 may be more important in understanding associations with psychopathology. Findings regarding the interactive effects of F1 and F2 are mixed, as both potentiating and protective effects have emerged. Moreover, there is only scant research exploring the statistical impact of gender on these interactive effects. Furthermore, approaches to measuring F1 (e.g. clinical interview versus self-report) are based on …


An Integrative Model Of Situation Awareness, Andrew Thurston May 2016

An Integrative Model Of Situation Awareness, Andrew Thurston

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In aviation safety incident reports, lack of situation awareness (SA) is often attributed as the cause of negative safety outcomes, such as accidents. While the predominant model of SA has identified three components of SA, perception, comprehension, and projection, assumptions of their relationships with each other and external criteria are yet tested empirically. Specifically, SA theory suggests comprehension SA fully mediates the relationship between perception and projection SA. Additionally, research on the relationships between individual differences and SA is lacking. The purpose of the current study is to test a comprehensive model of SA which simultaneously examines the described mediation, …


It’S More Than Just Changing Your Password: Exploring The Nature And Antecedents Of Cyber-Security Behaviors, Rachel Christine Dreibelbis Jan 2016

It’S More Than Just Changing Your Password: Exploring The Nature And Antecedents Of Cyber-Security Behaviors, Rachel Christine Dreibelbis

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Organizations have become increasingly concerned with developing and protecting their information security systems. Despite attempts to secure the information infrastructure, employees inside of organizations remain the largest source of threat to information cyber-security. While previous research has focused on behavioral and situational factors that influence cyber-security behaviors, the measurement of cyber behaviors and their relationship to other performance variables is poorly understood. The purpose of the present study is to 1) determine the underlying factor structure of a cyber-security behavior scale, 2) assess if individual personality traits predict four types of cyber-security behaviors: security assurance, security compliance, security risk, and …
