Tracking Change Patterns For Severely And Persistently Mentally Ill (Spmi) Patients: An Analysis Of The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Expanded (Bprs-E), Elizabeth Richardson, Dr. Gary Burlingame Jan 2014

Tracking Change Patterns For Severely And Persistently Mentally Ill (Spmi) Patients: An Analysis Of The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Expanded (Bprs-E), Elizabeth Richardson, Dr. Gary Burlingame

Journal of Undergraduate Research

This study was conducted to determine differential item sensitivity of The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Expanded (BPRS-E) with an SPMI population. Using item sensitivity information, we tested different factor solutions of the BPRS-E to assess how predictive these are of patient improvement. Although I originally planned to compare BPRS-E scores with scores from the Life Status Questionnaire (LSQ) in this report, I will focus on item sensitivity only. As observed by Vermeersch, Lambert, & Burlingame (2000), while it is important to achieve high levels of reliability when constructing a measure of psychological traits, measures designed to assess patient change need …

I Get Mad Just Thinking About It: Comparing Students’ Emotions And Beliefs Evoked By Anger In Mozambique And At Brigham Young University’S, Ryan Curtis, Dr. Matthew Spackman Jan 2014

I Get Mad Just Thinking About It: Comparing Students’ Emotions And Beliefs Evoked By Anger In Mozambique And At Brigham Young University’S, Ryan Curtis, Dr. Matthew Spackman

Journal of Undergraduate Research

An emotion consists of many things. Research in emotion has been a constant debate between those who believe that emotions are more biologically based, and those who believe emotions are more culturally based. Cross-cultural studies of emotion have been used from the beginning of this debate to assess the effect of culture on emotions. The purpose of this study was to help determine the role of culture in emotions. Specifically, it studies 1) the effect of culture on the appraisal of anger, and 2) the effect of culture on the experience of secondary emotions that come from remembering an anger …

Effect Of Harmony And Dissonance Is Auditory Evoked Potentials, James Daren Pack, Dell P. Dunn, Donovan Fleming, Dr. Scott Steffensen Jan 2014

Effect Of Harmony And Dissonance Is Auditory Evoked Potentials, James Daren Pack, Dell P. Dunn, Donovan Fleming, Dr. Scott Steffensen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the study of the brain’s electrical activity. It has been used extensively as a research tool as well as in clinical settings. When sensory stimuli are presented and EEG is recorded electrical potential is evoked. The most widely studied of these evoked potentials is called the P300–a large positive wave that occurs about 300 milliseconds after the stimulus is presented. A P300 can be elicited and recorded using any sensory modality. A similar evoked potential is the N450 which occurs about 150 milliseconds after the P300 and is negative in amplitude. Our experiment examined the effect of …

The Validation Of The Outcome Questionnaire As A Tool Of Measurement For Change On The Native American Population In A College Counseling Center, Kärstin L. Slade, Elizabeth Richardson, Dr. Michael J. Lambert Jan 2014

The Validation Of The Outcome Questionnaire As A Tool Of Measurement For Change On The Native American Population In A College Counseling Center, Kärstin L. Slade, Elizabeth Richardson, Dr. Michael J. Lambert

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In recent years there has been an increasing demand for psychotherapy outcome measures, which can be attributed mainly to the changing health care industry. This, in turn, affects the subsequent demands by corporate purchasers, those in the insurance industry, and government agencies, for evidence of the efficacy of psychotherapy. Although hundreds of therapy measures exist, there are limitations of their use as outcome measures within the managed care system. Most instruments that measure psychotherapy’s efficacy have a very narrow focus while others are designed to address a wider range of clinical issues, and are long and tedious for both clients …

The Associations Between Social Relationships And Scholastic Achievement, Brandon Q. Jones, Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad Jan 2014

The Associations Between Social Relationships And Scholastic Achievement, Brandon Q. Jones, Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Brandon Q. Jones The Associations between Social Relationships and Scholastic Achievement Faculty Mentor: Julianne Holt-Lunstad, Psychology Any college student could tell you that their social environment influences their scholastic achievement. But what are the factors involved? Do different types of relationships help or hinder our achievement? And in what ways do they help or hinder it? In this experiment, I studied the effects of certain types of social relationships on scholastic achievement by analyzing the degree to which stress and rumination (or time spent thinking about an issue) is associated with these relationships. Originally, I hypothesized that relationships did have …

A Construct Validity Investigation Of Therapeutic Mechanisms In Group: An Analysis Of The Gcq And Cci, Shelby L. Ferrin, Dr. Gary M. Burlingame Jan 2014

A Construct Validity Investigation Of Therapeutic Mechanisms In Group: An Analysis Of The Gcq And Cci, Shelby L. Ferrin, Dr. Gary M. Burlingame

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Group psychotherapy is a growing field of both psychological research and clinical application. Credit for this growth has been ascribed to a variety of factors, among them the efficiency of seeing multiple clients at one time. Previous research has demonstrated that group therapy is as efficacious in the treatment of many disorders as individual therapy while also being more timeand cost-efficient. The efficacy of small group therapy is frequently attributed to the unique properties of group involvement (e.g., cohesion, avoidance, or engagement). However, researchers find it difficult to measure these properties. Even in research areas where many studies have been …

Exposure to neighborhood danger during childhood has negative effects that permeate multiple dimensions of childhood. The current study examined whether mothers’, fathers’, and children’s perceptions of neighborhood danger are related to child aggression, whether parental monitoring moderates this relation, and whether harsh parenting mediates this relation. Interviews were conducted with a sample of 1293 children (age M = 10.68, SD = 0.66; 51% girls) and their mothers (n = 1282) and fathers (n = 1075) in nine countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States). Perceptions of greater neighborhood danger were associated with more …

Investigating The Early Stages Of Person Perception: The Asymmetry Of Social Categorization By Sex Vs. Age, Jasmin Cloutier, Jonathan B. Freeman, Nalini Ambady Jan 2014

Investigating The Early Stages Of Person Perception: The Asymmetry Of Social Categorization By Sex Vs. Age, Jasmin Cloutier, Jonathan B. Freeman, Nalini Ambady

Dartmouth Scholarship

The wealth of information provided by facial cues presents challenges to our understanding of these early stages of person perception. The current study aimed to uncover the dynamics of processing multiply categorizable faces, notably as a function of their gender and age. Using a modified four-choice version of a mouse-tracking paradigm (which assesses the relative dominance of two categorical dimensions), the relative influence that sex and age have on each other during categorization of infant, younger adult, and older adult faces was investigated. Results of these experiments demonstrate that when sex and age dimensions are simultaneously categorized, only for infant …

'I Like You Both The Same, But For Different Reasons': Differences Between Communication Mediums Related To Self-Disclosure, Responsiveness, And Self-Awareness, Kevin Joseph Wallpe Jan 2014

'I Like You Both The Same, But For Different Reasons': Differences Between Communication Mediums Related To Self-Disclosure, Responsiveness, And Self-Awareness, Kevin Joseph Wallpe

Theses and Dissertations

As computer-mediated communication (CMC) increasingly becomes a part of people's everyday lives (Mesch & Talmud, 2006), it becomes important to understand what differentiates this mode of communication from traditional face-to-face (FtF) communication. Some studies have shown that CMC interactions are related to greater liking (relative to FtF) of previously unacquainted interaction partners (McKenna, Green, & Gleason, 2002; Ramirez & Zhang, 2007), whereas others have concluded just the opposite -- that FtF interactions are related to more liking of previously unacquainted interaction partners (Mallen, Day, & Green, 2003; Okdie, Guadagno, Bernieri, Geers, & Mclarney-Vesotski, 2011). What leads to the inconsistent findings …

Effects Of Multicultural Training On Counseling: A Meta-Analysis, Todd Wilson Dunn, Dr. Tim Smith Jan 2014

Effects Of Multicultural Training On Counseling: A Meta-Analysis, Todd Wilson Dunn, Dr. Tim Smith

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The past two decades have seen a proliferation in the amount of publications on multicultural counseling. For example, over 1000 published reports investigating multicultural counseling and the cultural contexts of psychology have appeared in psychological literature since 1995. Many of these studies have identified serious flaws in traditional methods of helping minority populations with emotional or psychological disturbances, while demonstrating that alternative “culturally sensitive” methods can improve treatment outcomes. Although the sudden proliferation of literature on multicultural counseling clearly indicates growing popular interest in the topic, responsible scientific practice dictates that any body of literature should be systematically evaluated and …

Quality-Space Theory In Olfaction, Benjamin D. Young, Andreas Keller, David Rosenthal Jan 2014

Quality-Space Theory In Olfaction, Benjamin D. Young, Andreas Keller, David Rosenthal

Publications and Research

Quality-space theory (QST) explains the nature of the mental qualities distinctive of perceptual states by appeal to their role in perceiving. QST is typically described in terms of the mental qualities that pertain to color. Here we apply QST to the olfactory modalities. Olfaction is in various respects more complex than vision, and so provides a useful test case for QST. To determine whether QST can deal with the challenges olfaction presents, we show how a quality space (QS) could be constructed relying on olfactory perceptible properties and the olfactory mental qualities then defined by appeal to that QS of …

Bihemispheric Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Effector-Independent Representations Of Motor Synergy And Sequence Learning., Sheena Waters-Metenier, Masud Husain, Tobias Wiestler, Jörn Diedrichsen Jan 2014

Bihemispheric Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Effector-Independent Representations Of Motor Synergy And Sequence Learning., Sheena Waters-Metenier, Masud Husain, Tobias Wiestler, Jörn Diedrichsen

Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications

Complex manual tasks-everything from buttoning up a shirt to playing the piano-fundamentally involve two components: (1) generating specific patterns of muscle activity (here, termed "synergies"); and (2) stringing these into purposeful sequences. Although transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) has been found to increase the learning of motor sequences, it is unknown whether it can similarly facilitate motor synergy learning. Here, we determined the effects of tDCS on the learning of motor synergies using a novel hand configuration task that required the production of difficult muscular activation patterns. Bihemispheric tDCS was applied to M1 of …

Clarifying The Nature Of Resilience: A Meta-Analytic Approach, Matthew Robert Grossman Jan 2014

Clarifying The Nature Of Resilience: A Meta-Analytic Approach, Matthew Robert Grossman

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Psychological resilience, conceptualized as the ability to bounce back from stress (Tugade, 2011), has garnered increased attention across various fields of psychology and related disciplines. Despite its popularity, researchers have yet to come to a consensus regarding the nomological network of this construct, as well as its distinctiveness from conceptually similar constructs (i.e., hardiness, grit). In this paper, I use meta-analytic techniques (Hunter & Schmidt, 2004) to quantitatively synthesize three decades of previous empirical work on resilience and related-constructs and their correlates, integrating findings from more than 400 studies. Results show that resilience overlaps substantially with big-five personality traits as …

A Longitudinal Look At Electronic Mentoring Relationships, Lyndsey Marie Havill Jan 2014

A Longitudinal Look At Electronic Mentoring Relationships, Lyndsey Marie Havill

Dissertations

Current advancements in information technology are increasingly impacting work relationships. Rapid technological changes have significant implications specifically for workplace mentoring because they may offer faster and more economical ways of building relationships. However, the e-mentoring literature is still evolving, and the extent to which e-mentoring parallels face-to-face mentoring is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of mentoring functions over time and how the development varies depending on the amount and type of computer mediated communication. While career-support was greater at initial points in the relationship, psychosocial-support increased at a greater velocity for mentors. Bandwidth and …

Sex Differences In Stress-Induced Social Withdrawal: Role Of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor In The Bed Nucleus Of The Stria Terminalis, Gian D. Greenberg, Abigail Laman-Marang, Katharine L. Campi, Heather Voigt, Veronica N. Orr, Leslie Schaal, Brian C. Trainor Jan 2014

Sex Differences In Stress-Induced Social Withdrawal: Role Of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor In The Bed Nucleus Of The Stria Terminalis, Gian D. Greenberg, Abigail Laman-Marang, Katharine L. Campi, Heather Voigt, Veronica N. Orr, Leslie Schaal, Brian C. Trainor

Psychology

Depression and anxiety disorders are more common in women than men, and little is known about the neurobiological mechanisms that contribute to this disparity. Recent data suggest that stress-induced changes in neurotrophins have opposing effects on behavior by acting in different brain networks. Social defeat has been an important approach for understanding neurotrophin action, but low female aggression levels in rats and mice have limited the application of these methods primarily to males. We examined the effects of social defeat in monogamous California mice (Peromyscus californicus), a species in which both males and females defend territories. We demonstrate that defeat …

Sex, Power, And Women: Female Viewers’ Perceptions Of Popular Music Video Themes, Whitney Stefani, Ralf R. Greenwald Jan 2014

Sex, Power, And Women: Female Viewers’ Perceptions Of Popular Music Video Themes, Whitney Stefani, Ralf R. Greenwald

Student Published Works

Research has linked viewing highly sexual music videos with increased gender role acceptance, and concern over personal physical appearance. However, very few studies have assessed individual differences in how music video sexual content is perceived, and no studies to date have addressed non-objectifying sexual content. In the present study, fifteen college women were exposed to 21 pop music videos and asked to categorize each video on the basis of whether it depicted women a) as sex objects, b) using sex as a source of power, or c) non-sexually. At least one video achieved perfect consensus amongst the participants for each …

Allocating Structure To Function: The Strong Links Between Neuroplasticity And Natural Selection, Michael Anderson, Barbara L. Finlay Jan 2014

Allocating Structure To Function: The Strong Links Between Neuroplasticity And Natural Selection, Michael Anderson, Barbara L. Finlay

Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications

A central question in brain evolution is how species-typical behaviors, and the neural function-structure mappings supporting them, can be acquired and inherited. Advocates of brain modularity, in its different incarnations across scientific subfields, argue that natural selection must target domain-dedicated, separately modifiable neural subsystems, resulting in genetically-specified functional modules. In such modular systems, specification of neuron number and functional connectivity are necessarily linked. Mounting evidence, however, from allometric, developmental, comparative, systems-physiological, neuroimaging and neurological studies suggests that brain elements are used and reused in multiple functional systems. This variable allocation can be seen in short-term neuromodulation, in neuroplasticity over the …

Value Associations Of Emotional Faces Can Modify The Anger Superiority Effect: Behavioral And Electrophysiological Evidence, Shuxia Yao, Cody Ding, Senqing Qi, Dong Yang

Education Sciences and Professional Programs Faculty Works

Although several paradigms have shown that threatening faces are processed preferentially, no study to date has investigated whether this preferential processing can be manipulated by value associations. Using schematic faces, this study was divided into three phases in order to investigate the effects of associating high values with happy faces and low values with angry faces. The baseline phase, in which elicited a shorter RT and a larger N2pc for angry faces than for happy faces, demonstrated that the preferential processing of angry faces could be obtained in the discrimination task. After the training phase, which established associations between different …

The Influence Of Close Others In Daily Goal Pursuit, Jonathan S. Gore Jan 2014

The Influence Of Close Others In Daily Goal Pursuit, Jonathan S. Gore

Psychology Faculty and Staff Research

This study tested the hypothesis that daily contact with close others during goal pursuit would activate relationally autonomous reasons and would also be associated with the corresponding levels of goal effort. We also hypothesized that the association would be strongest among highly relational and agreeable people. Participants (n ¼ 49) completed self-construal and agreeableness assessments at a face-to-face session, then they completed daily reports of relational motives, contact with close and distant others, and goal effort daily for the next 6 days online. The results of hierarchical linear modeling analysis showed that contact with friends and family members were associated …

Why Do Narcissists Disregard Social-Etiquette Norms? A Test Of Two Explanations For Why Narcissism Relates To Offensive-Language Use, John Milton Adams, Dan Florell, K. Alex Burton, William Hart Jan 2014

Why Do Narcissists Disregard Social-Etiquette Norms? A Test Of Two Explanations For Why Narcissism Relates To Offensive-Language Use, John Milton Adams, Dan Florell, K. Alex Burton, William Hart

Psychology Faculty and Staff Research

Narcissists often fail to abide by norms for polite social conduct, but why? The current study addressed this issue by exploring reasons why narcissists use more offensive language (i.e., profanity) than non-narcissists. In this study, 602 participants completed a survey in which they responded on a measure of trait narcissism, rated several offensive words on the degree to which the words were attention-grabbing and offensive, and then indicated how frequently they used the words. Consistent with the idea that narcissists use offensive language to gain attention, narcissists were incrementally more likely to use offensive language if they perceived such language …

Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families, and Schools: Faculty Publications

Gender development has long term implications for education and career endeavors and family formation behaviors, but we know very little about the role of sociocultural factors in developmental and individual differences. In this study, we investigated one domain of gender development, gender role attitudes, in Mexican American adolescents (N = 246; 51% female), using four phases of longitudinal data across eight years. Data were collected when adolescents averaged 12.51 years (SD = 0.58), 14.64 years (SD = 0.59), 17.72 years (SD = 0.57), and 19.60 years of age (SD = 0.66). Mothers’ and fathers’ gender …

Student Leadership And College Co-Educational History, Gabriel Plummer Jan 2014

Student Leadership And College Co-Educational History, Gabriel Plummer

Psychology Honors Papers

Leadership has been described and thought of as stereotypically masculine, and consequently, leadership positions in student government have historically been dominated by men. This study compared archival data from schools that changed their admission policy from all women to coed (n = 2), changed from all men to coed (n = 1), or a school that has been coed since its founding (n = 1) to see if the history of a school was related to gender representation in the student government leadership positions. The schools that shifted to coed all made the shift at the same time (1969). The …

Treating Veterans With Complex Traumagenic Disorders: When Childhood Traumas And Current Traumas Collide, Albert Sarno

Faculty Publications and Presentations

A proposed working approach is delineated as a methodology for treating persons with complex traumagenic disorders. It provides a format and a system of treatment, in order to help reduce the symptom clusters which occur in people who have experienced a combination of childhood trauma, as well as adult trauma, whether as a result of exposure to natural disasters, combat or war. It is argued that traumagenic resolution therapy needs to occur first, before cognitive behavior therapy can be effective. In addition a systems approach is needed to assist the person within the context of their environment, and then tasks …
