Ai-Enhanced Resume Development, Manny N. Golfe Jr, Abby Crane, Leah Hughes, Shawn Bergman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Abstract Background Resumes are often the first impression employers have of students, yet a plethora of graduates face underemployment, potentially due to poorly advocating for unrecognized skills. Almost half of recent graduates are underemployed one year after graduation (Vedder et al., 2013). Surveys show students constantly feel unprepared for the workforce and tend to fail to present their knowledge and skills effectively on resumes (Suleman, 2018). This study supports psychology students of Appalachian State University by improving Eugene, a tool used by students to input their courses and receive an output of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) and jobs they …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Abstract Background Underemployment is a battle that many psychology undergraduates face (Burning Glass Institute, 2024). This can be discouraging, and students are often unaware of alternative postgraduate options to graduate school (Halonen, 2013). To combat this, the research team has created Eugene, an online tool that can be used for career exploration. Students select from a list of psychology courses, and Eugene produces the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) they have gained in those courses alongside a list of potential jobs they may be qualified for. Currently, the team has a methodology in place that involves having multiple faculty members …

Who Becomes “One Of Us”? Leaders’ Core Self-Evaluation And Prototypicality, Mobina Mohammadi, Alexander T. Jackson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Social Identity Theory of Leadership emphasizes the importance of prototype-based depersonalization and followers’ behavior roles by suggesting that they grant leaders power, charisma, and higher status (Hogg, 2001). Core self-evaluation (CSE) encompasses individuals’ core appraisals about their self-worth and competencies (Chang et al., 2012). Judge et al. (1997) highlighted four traits in their model: self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, emotional stability, and locus of control. leaders’ self-construct guides how subsequent experiences are interpreted to describe who the leader is and who they can become, which suggests the importance of determining how the self-construct is composed and altered to positively accelerate leader development …

Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Employee Job Performance, Communication, And Job Security, Andrew S. Duck, David Earnest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The recent mass influx of Artificial Intelligence (AI) over the last 10 years has impacted how many professions operate (Olan et al., 2023). These operational changes include a decrease in clerical positions as AI tools, such as language automation software, have been implemented to replace routine tasks like data entry and shift scheduling (World Economic Forum, 2023). Changes can also be seen in healthcare, where AI diagnostic tools assist doctors in interpreting medical images, such as tears or fractures (Gitto et al., 2024). Research supports AI integration benefits, including reduced employee burnout and lower turnover rates in jobs such as …
Understanding The Effect Of Perceived Supervisor Unavailability On Job Satisfaction, Counterproductive Work Behaviors, And Intent To Quit, Paul-Augustin Wasner, Christopher J. Cunningham, Brian J. O'Leary, Kristen Black
Understanding The Effect Of Perceived Supervisor Unavailability On Job Satisfaction, Counterproductive Work Behaviors, And Intent To Quit, Paul-Augustin Wasner, Christopher J. Cunningham, Brian J. O'Leary, Kristen Black
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
This study aims to examine the influence of supervisor unavailability on employee job satisfaction, counterproductive work behaviors, and intent to quit. It introduces the construct of Perceived Supervisor Unavailability (PSU), defined as the employee's perception that their supervisor is not present, reachable, or responsive during times when support or input is expected or needed. Grounded in Job Demands-Resources and Social Exchange Theory, this study will look at personal and organizational resources as mediators of the PSU-work outcomes relationship. Role clarity acting as personal resource and perceived supervisor and organizational support, acting as organizational resources are expected to reduce the influence …

Anxiously Engaged: General Anxiety As A Moderator Of Techno-Insecurity And Work Engagement, Amy H. Kim, Ava D. Paull, Michelle Nguyen, Paige Watson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
As technology advances in the workplace, employees are feeling left behind and increasingly subjected to new stressors, such as techno-insecurity. Techno-insecurity is defined as employees feeling threatened about their job security due to the increasing integration of technologies (Ragu-Nathan et al., 2008). According to the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll, 1989), techno-insecurity represents an anticipated loss of resources (e.g., job, income) due to technology. Consistent with the broader job insecurity research (Jiang & Lavaysse, 2018), this resource threat may undermine employee motivation, such as work engagement (WE; i.e., a positive state characterized by persistent work-related focus, commitment, and energy, …
The Role Of Personality And Feedback Acceptance, Olivia Funderburg Glassell, David Earnest
The Role Of Personality And Feedback Acceptance, Olivia Funderburg Glassell, David Earnest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Previous research has identified links between the Big Five traits of openness to experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, and employees' receptivity and feedback acceptance. Most studies examined these traits independently, which offers only a partial view of how personality influences feedback acceptance. The unexplored relationship of how these traits interact with psychological resilience may explain why some employees constructively engage with feedback and others disengage. The current study proposes to investigate the combined influence of personality traits and psychological resilience on feedback acceptance in the workplace. Employing a correlation design, researchers will recruit full-time employees from various industries in the United …

Understanding Organizational Drivers Of Employee Ratings Of Startups, Trinity Vuu, Jimena Lopez Flores, Dianhan Zheng, Tianxi Dong
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Attracting new talent can be a major hurdle for startup companies, particularly in competitive sectors like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Financial Technology (FinTech). These organizations frequently face stigmatic challenges related to limited reputation, lower compensation, and perceptions of poor work-life balance (WLB), which can deter potential job candidates. Therefore, job seekers often rely on online platforms such as Glassdoor to gain insights regarding how current or former employees rated these startups in specific aspects, such as compensation, organizational culture, and WLB. However, it is unclear which aspects of the organizational environment are related to overall employee ratings of startups and …

Stress Fasting Under Pressure: The Role Of Demands And Control On Healthy Eating, Gulnur Ashyrnepesova, Alexander T. Jackson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Stress fasting under pressure: The role of demands and control on healthy eating Gulnur Ashyrnepesova Dr. Alexander T. Jackson Stress plays an essential role in daily life, influencing physical and mental health. Many people face recurring stress cycles, like exam periods requiring a balance of deadlines and responsibilities. Over time, these cycles can become chronic stress, affecting psychological well-being, eating, sleep, and overall health. Stress often leads to coping behaviors such as overeating, reliance on stimulants, or stress fasting, skipping meals when demands and strain overwhelm. Academic and professional environments with high demands often push individuals to prioritize performance over …
The Silent Strain: Workplace Hazing As A Hidden Organizational Stressor., Madalyn Stephens, Timothy Huelsman
The Silent Strain: Workplace Hazing As A Hidden Organizational Stressor., Madalyn Stephens, Timothy Huelsman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Between 25% and 75% of working Americans report experiencing hazing at some point in their careers (Thomas et al., 2021). This wide range is partly due to underreporting, often driven by fears of retaliation, termination, or stalled career progression (Thomas et al., 2021; Tolfer et al., 2016). Despite its frequency, research has historically focused on non-workplace contexts, leaving a critical gap in understanding its organizational impact.Although definitions of hazing vary across disciplines, four consistent characteristics emerge: it is temporary, unidirectional, coercive, and coalitional (Thomas et al., 2021). These elements form the conceptual foundation for this study. In this study hazing …

Effectively Bridging Computer Science And I-O Psychology To Solve Practical Problems, Richard Landers
Effectively Bridging Computer Science And I-O Psychology To Solve Practical Problems, Richard Landers
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
One of the most pressing challenges facing I-O psychology today is the need to bridge the disciplinary barrier between our field and computer science. This barrier runs deep, creating challenges in both research and practice resulting from differences in our core philosophies of science. Yet if we fail to engage across this boundary, it will be the technical values and priorities of computer science, and not the human-centered values of psychology, that will define the future of work. In this talk, we will explore the philosophical and practice tensions that shape the IO-technologist interface and propose strategies for effective interdisciplinary …

The Relationship Between Sense Of Agency And Perceived Stigma In Those With Cognitive Disabilities, Scarlet S. Pardue
Honors Theses
The focus population of this study is those with cognitive disabilities, which limit in some way a person’s ability to complete mental tasks, such as communication, planning, or remembering. The primary purpose is to focus on the participants' sense of agency and perceived stigma. The Sense of Agency Scale (SoA) measures a participant’s consciously perceived control over their mind, body, and the immediate environment. The Perceived Disability Social Stigma Scale (PDSS) measures to what degree participants believe that people with disabilities are stigmatized in their respective communities. Confirmatory research into these two variables offers an interesting insight into how the …

Escapism: The Presence Of Escapist Tendencies In Depressed Gamers, Hannah K. Weberg, Emily Pica
Escapism: The Presence Of Escapist Tendencies In Depressed Gamers, Hannah K. Weberg, Emily Pica
Modern Psychological Studies
Escapism, a coping mechanism used to relieve stress, uniquely characterized by removing one’s conscious self from reality, can be utilized by video gamers with depression to escape from their own realities. The implications of this phenomenon could allow researchers to better understand how escapism affects this community. It was predicted that there would be a positive relationship between escapist gaming motivations and depressive symptoms. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative survey methods drawing from undergraduate students at Austin Peay State University (n = 113) and correlational analyses, our hypotheses were supported. A significant positive relationship was found between escapist …
Is The Light Triad Really That Light?: The Light Triad's Role In Relationship Savior Complex, Skylar Robinson, Gary Lewandowski
Is The Light Triad Really That Light?: The Light Triad's Role In Relationship Savior Complex, Skylar Robinson, Gary Lewandowski
Modern Psychological Studies
Light triad traits, such as optimism, empathy, and compassion, are theorized to be three main components of a prosocial and compassionate orientation. However, in romantic relationships, those qualities may encourage a “savior complex” in which one partner attempts to help, fix, or change their partner’s less ideal components. To study this, 106 participants ranging in age from 18 to 24 years old were surveyed about their light triad traits, helping/savior complex behavior, confidence as a romantic partner (i.e., self-efficacy), closeness with their partner (i.e., inclusion of other in the self), and perceived responsiveness toward their partner. As hypothesized, those who …
Is My Parent Narcissistic? Retrospective Perceptions Of The Adult Child On Their Parent’S Narcissistic Tendencies, Amy Palumbo, Ashley Hansen-Brown Dr.
Is My Parent Narcissistic? Retrospective Perceptions Of The Adult Child On Their Parent’S Narcissistic Tendencies, Amy Palumbo, Ashley Hansen-Brown Dr.
Modern Psychological Studies
Narcissism development in children has been a widely studied subject; however, little research has examined parental narcissism. Previous researchers found that parental narcissism is related to non-ideal parent-child bonds, which often results in parents having low senses of well-being and satisfaction with their bond (Hart et al., 2017; Horton, 2021). For each of our studies, we explored how aspects of an individual’s growth and development are linked with parental narcissism as recalled by adult children. In Study 1, we investigated the link between both recalled grandiose and vulnerable parental narcissism and the mental well-being and self-esteem of our participants. In …
The Influence Of Media Exposure On Perceptions Of Police, Izabella Leblanc, Emily Pica
The Influence Of Media Exposure On Perceptions Of Police, Izabella Leblanc, Emily Pica
Modern Psychological Studies
The current literature suggests that People of Color (POC) often hold more negative perceptions of law enforcement compared to White individuals. These perceptions are influenced by various factors, including environment, exposure to media depictions of police brutality, and personal experiences. Since flawed portrayals of police procedures in television programs have been found to erode public trust in police legitimacy, the study analyzes how perceptions change through media portrayals of law enforcement interactions. We investigate how the media influences perceptions of law enforcement by presenting participants (n = 245) with mock news articles depicting various law enforcement interactions. Additionally, we consider …

Pacific Islander Mental Health: A Literature Review, Shawn I. Dobberfuhl
Modern Psychological Studies
Mental health among Pacific Islanders remains an underexplored area in research. This review aims to synthesize existing research on the mental health status of Pacific Islanders, focusing on mental health risk factors and mental health service utilization. A systematic search across APA PsychInfo spanning from 2015 to 2024 yielded 11 relevant articles, which were subsequently analyzed and synthesized. Findings suggest that Pacific Islanders experience unique stressors, including, racial discrimination, socioeconomic disparities, and cultural stigma surrounding mental health.

Study Of The Relationship Between Interoceptive Sensibility And Distress Tolerance In Community And College Samples, William W. Moore, Ashley Howell
Study Of The Relationship Between Interoceptive Sensibility And Distress Tolerance In Community And College Samples, William W. Moore, Ashley Howell
Modern Psychological Studies
Interoceptive sensibility involves the detection, integration, and interpretation of internal bodily signals, primarily from cardiovascular, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal systems. Dysfunction in interoceptive processing has been increasingly recognized as a clinically relevant factor in numerous neurological, psychiatric, and behavioral disorders. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between interoceptive sensibility and distress tolerance, hypothesizing that individuals with heightened interoceptive sensibility may report poorer distress tolerance. This relationship could help identify patterns between interoceptive sensibility and tendencies toward maladaptive coping strategies or emotional dysregulation. To explore these relationships, two studies were conducted utilizing self-report measures of interoceptive sensibility and distress tolerance in …
Born To Be Kind: The Evolutionary Significance Of Prosocial Behaviors In Humans, Yijia Xu
Born To Be Kind: The Evolutionary Significance Of Prosocial Behaviors In Humans, Yijia Xu
Modern Psychological Studies
Humans prefer kind romantic partners. Worldwide surveys have identified kindness as the defining feature of an ideal long-term partner, often explained as a signal for evolutionary fitness, demonstrating the ability to provide resources and ensure survival. Instead, we propose an alternative explanation: human preference for prosociality stems from an innate desire to be treated well. To test this, we asked participants whether they preferred kindness directed towards them or kindness exhibited more generally. Results indicate that participants were significantly more attracted to people who were kind to them personally than to people who were broadly kind to others. Interestingly, participants …

Pathways To Lgbtq+ Self-Acceptance: A Qualitative Study Of Religious, Spiritual, And Mystical Experiences, Makayla Hall, Ruth Walker
Modern Psychological Studies
For the LGBTQ+ community, self-acceptance often involves embracing one’s identity while confronting internalized stigma, hardships, and religious or societal pressures (Lassiter et al., 2019; Schuck & Liddle, 2001; Stern & Wright, 2017). Prior researchers have highlighted both positive and negative effects of religious and spiritual beliefs for LGBTQ+ individuals, with spirituality often fostering resilience and social support (Lassiter et al., 2019) and religious institutions sometimes contributing to feelings of alienation (Schuck & Liddle, 2001). The purpose of this study was to explore how religious, spiritual, and mystical experiences influence self-acceptance in LGBTQ+ adults. We used reflexive thematic analysis to explore …

Effects Of Experimenter Behaviors On Participants' Mood, Jackson Everett
Effects Of Experimenter Behaviors On Participants' Mood, Jackson Everett
Honors Theses
This study investigated whether experimenter behaviors affected self-reported levels of state and trait anxiety, emotional valence memory, and projective interpretations of ambiguous stimuli. I hypothesized that participants exposed to anxious experimenters would report higher levels of state anxiety, recall more negative words, and render more negative interpretations while warm experimenters would lead participants to report lower levels of state anxiety, recall more positive words, and produce more positive interpretations. Participants (N = 98) were randomly assigned to either an anxious, flat, or warm experimenter condition and completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger et al., 1983), heard a list of …
