Technology And Religion: Remaining Human In A Co-Created World (Book Review), Kristina M. Kays Jan 2010

Technology And Religion: Remaining Human In A Co-Created World (Book Review), Kristina M. Kays

Faculty Publications - Psychology Department

Reviews the book, "Technology and religion: Remaining human in a co-created world" by Noreen Herzfeld (see record 2009-04118-000). In this book, the author urges laypersons and professionals to consider the complexities of moral decision making about technology. Herzfeld explores how Christian, Jewish, and Islamic thinkers evaluate three categories of new technologies: “technologies of the human body, technologies of the human mind, and technologies of the external environment” (p. viii). This text is part of the Templeton Science and Religion series, which addresses the intersection between science and religion. While all books in this series are authored by specialists in the …

Psychosocial And Physical Health Variables As Predictors Of Weight Loss Six Months Post Roux-En-Y Bariatric Surgery, Alexander L. Patterson Jan 2010

Psychosocial And Physical Health Variables As Predictors Of Weight Loss Six Months Post Roux-En-Y Bariatric Surgery, Alexander L. Patterson

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Bariatric surgery is an increasingly popular intervention for obesity, and psychologists have seen a growing role in the evaluation of surgery candidates. Studies of pre-surgery psychosocial and physical health variables that are predictive of post-surgical outcome have been inconclusive. In the present study, pre-operative health status, psychological testing results, and support group attendance were measured to determine their relationship with weight-loss outcome at 6 months post-surgery. The Health Perception scale of the Health Status Questionnaire was a significant predictor of weight loss outcome. This suggests that individuals who endorse more negative perceptions of their physical health are more likely to …


Female And Male Psychologists In Academic Administration: Resource Control And Perceived Influence, Jennifer Schenk Jan 2010

Female And Male Psychologists In Academic Administration: Resource Control And Perceived Influence, Jennifer Schenk

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

This study examined male and female psychologists in academic administrative positions with regard to their perceptions of their own power and their actual power within the administrative hierarchies in which they work. In the past, researchers have compared women and men in academic administrative positions with regard to parity of numbers, salaries, number of publications and citations, types of institutions where they work and, the job titles they hold. These indices had suggested that women administrators had less prestige, control fewer resources, and a more limited scope of job responsibilities than did men. However, there had been no comparison of …

Denominational Support For Clergy Mental Health, Bobby L. Trihub, Mark R. Mcminn, William C. Buhrow, Thomas F. Johnson

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

To date, minimal research has addressed the actual services provided to maintain the mental health of leadership in the church. Three major Protestant denominations were consulted within this study, including a total of 434 pastors across the United States. Among these three denominations, a range of services are now being offered to support clergy, with services such as time off, prayer support groups, and clergy retreats among the most valued, adequately provided, and utilized. Still, clergy do not see the provision of services as fully adequate, and report a number of obstacles to utilizing services. Generally, the most highly rated …

The Efficacy Of A Brief Behavioral Health Intervention For Managing High Utilization Of Ed Services By Chronic Pain Patients, Jonathan Woodhouse, Mary K. Peterson, Clark D. Campbell, Kathleen Gathercoal Jan 2010

The Efficacy Of A Brief Behavioral Health Intervention For Managing High Utilization Of Ed Services By Chronic Pain Patients, Jonathan Woodhouse, Mary K. Peterson, Clark D. Campbell, Kathleen Gathercoal

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Patients with chronic pain continue to seek medical care from emergency departments nationwide despite the fact that an emergency department is a less-than-optimal environment for meeting their specific and specialized needs. As the scientific community has gained a more sophisticated understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to the development and maintenance of chronic pain, the central role of psychological factors have emerged. Therefore, an ED-based, behavioral health intervention for chronic pain patients is needed to better serve this population and to help hospitals provide cost effective treatment at the appropriate level of care.


Psychologists’ Attitudes And Ethical Concerns Regarding The Use Of Social Networking Web Sites, Laura Taylor, Mark R. Mcminn, Rodger K. Bufford, Kelly B.T. Chang Jan 2010

Psychologists’ Attitudes And Ethical Concerns Regarding The Use Of Social Networking Web Sites, Laura Taylor, Mark R. Mcminn, Rodger K. Bufford, Kelly B.T. Chang

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Most psychologists seek to control self-disclosures they make to patients, but the Internet’s rapid development and widespread use over the past decade have introduced new problems for psychologists trying to avoid inappropriate disclosures. A total of 695 psychology graduate students and psychologists were surveyed about their current use of social networking Web sites (SNWs), opinions regarding regulation of online activities by the American Psychological Association (APA), and interactions in clinical work as a result of online activities. Established psychologists seldom use SNWs and may lack the experience to provide relevant supervisory guidance. No consensus about the need for APA guidelines …


Theology As Science: A Response To "Theology As Queen And Psychology As Handmaid", Mark R. Mcminn, Jeannine Graham Jan 2010

Theology As Science: A Response To "Theology As Queen And Psychology As Handmaid", Mark R. Mcminn, Jeannine Graham

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

In response to Porter's article, "Theology as Queen and Psychology as Handmaid," three criteria are offered for theology as science. A scientific theology must be open to new discovery, it requires a community, and it is available for practical application. In addition to the benefits offered by Porter, viewing theology as science can promote practical helping efforts within the church.


Religious Affiliation, Religious And Spiritual Practices, And Burnout Among Adolescent Residential Staff Members, Tara Sanderson, Rodger K. Bufford, Mary K. Peterson, Victoria Ravensberg Aug 2009

Religious Affiliation, Religious And Spiritual Practices, And Burnout Among Adolescent Residential Staff Members, Tara Sanderson, Rodger K. Bufford, Mary K. Peterson, Victoria Ravensberg

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Adolescent residential treatment staff members have jobs that are emotionally exhausting, physically taxing and spiritually draining. Good coping skills, including religious/spiritual practices, may reduce burnout. Results from a small rural adolescent residential treatment center indicated a high degree of burnout. Burnout was negatively correlated with existential and religious well-being, stress, income, social support and personal mental health treatment

Adhd Differences On The Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale, Fifth Edition, Meridee Runge, Rodger K. Bufford, Elizabeth Hamilton, Gale Roid

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric diagnosis in childhood that requires a level of attention or hyperactivity that falls short of the expected developmental level. Past research shows cognitive discrepancies in ADHD populations with verbal deficiencies observed primarily in tasks that require a combined auditory and verbal component. Working memory has been a long acknowledged deficit in persons with ADHD. This research examines cognitive differences among children with ADHD on working memory and other components of the Stanford Binet, 5th edition (SB5). Stanford Binet verbal and nonverbal working memory was hypothesized to be different for the ADHD sample compared …


Implications For Sin And Psychology: An Investigative Study Of The Sin Awareness Scale, Keith A. Louwerse May 2009

Implications For Sin And Psychology: An Investigative Study Of The Sin Awareness Scale, Keith A. Louwerse

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Though scientific psychology once attempted to distance itself from religious constructs, times have changed. It now seems clear that the clinical practice of psychology involves metaphysics as well as science (O'donohue, 1989, Jones, 1994). Recent research also shows significant relationships between religion, spirituality and health (Hill and Pargament, 2003, Richards and Bergin, 2005). Yet the body of psycho logy and scholarship largely overlooks the study of sin. As a result, there is a shocking absence of measurement tools for research on perceptions of sin. What are the psychological implications of a Christian view of sin? Before studying the religious notion …


You Say You're Happy, But You Look So Sad: A Study Of Incongruent Emotional Expressions, Jennifer K. Brogan Apr 2009

You Say You're Happy, But You Look So Sad: A Study Of Incongruent Emotional Expressions, Jennifer K. Brogan

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Since the 1930s, various versions of the Stroop interference task have been used to illuminate how the mind processes information. Over the past 10 years it has been applied to emotion recognition processing in increasingly complex, competing expressions. Koch (2006) used competing emotion words and faces and found the words produced interference in identifying the facial emotion, particularly when they were incongruent and the eyes were removed. Continuing the research studying how emotions are processed toward more natural situations, an emotion recognition Stroop test of simultaneous emotional facial pictures and spoken emotional words was presented in 600 randomized congruent, incongruent, …

Spiritual Coping In Children Diagnosed With Cancer, Jory L. Smith Mar 2009

Spiritual Coping In Children Diagnosed With Cancer, Jory L. Smith

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Children coping with chronic illnesses employ a variety of strategies to help them defend against their illness-related stressors. In a study of children diagnosed with asthma, Ezop (2002), using the Children’s Religious Coping Scale (CRC), found that the use of positive religious coping techniques led to a better adaptation to life and a more positive perspective on illnesses. The Ezop study also found that children and adolescents used positive religious coping moderately and made only limited use of negative religious coping. The present study analyzed the positive and negative coping skills of adolescents diagnosed with cancer. Specifically, in a prior …
