Beyond The Gig: Exploring Economic Viability, Underemployment, And Burnout In Gig Workers, Tatiana Guevara, Annie Lucas, Gwendolyn Paige Watson
Beyond The Gig: Exploring Economic Viability, Underemployment, And Burnout In Gig Workers, Tatiana Guevara, Annie Lucas, Gwendolyn Paige Watson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Gig workers are susceptible to economic viability challenges, defined as the struggles faced by gig workers in maintaining financial stability, managing irregular income patterns, and securing consistent earnings (Ashford et al., 2018; Caza et al., 2022). There is limited literature examining the consequences of gig work viability challenges (Caza et al., 2021). The Conservation of Resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll, 1989) suggests that stress arises when resources such as finances and job security are threatened, lost, or fail to be gained (Hobfoll, 2011). Viability challenges represent a lack of these resources and the unpredictability of resource attainment. The ongoing pressure to …

Psychometric Exploration Of The Five Love Languages, Ryan Dobson
Psychometric Exploration Of The Five Love Languages, Ryan Dobson
Psychology ETDs
Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages (2024) is an internationally recognized popular psychology theory. In the present study (n = 740) a series of factor analyses were conducted to explore the structure of the five love languages. Both the structure of what behaviors people perceive as an expression of their partner’s love (reception), and the structure of what behaviors people perceive as an expression of their love for their partner (expression) were examined. Although exploratory factor analyses suggested that a two-factor and five-factor solution were reasonable across both reception and expression formats, confirmatory factor analyses resulted in no model being …
Neurodiversity In Hiring: Language That Resonates, Drew Sipe, Cassidy Zekas, April Spivack, Kristl Davison, Jessica Doll
Neurodiversity In Hiring: Language That Resonates, Drew Sipe, Cassidy Zekas, April Spivack, Kristl Davison, Jessica Doll
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Introduction Neurodiversity (ND) refers to the variation in how 15-20% of individuals experience, think, and work in the world (National Institute of Health, 2022). It includes conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, tourette syndrome, and sensory processing disorders (CDC, 2022; Hess, 2021). This study examines how neurodiverse individuals, people with disabilities, and neurotypical individuals value inclusive and neurodiverse language in job advertisements. We hypothesized that neurodiverse individuals and individuals with disabilities would place greater importance on inclusive and neurodiverse language in job ads compared to neurotypical individuals. This research seeks to identify ways to create more accessible …
Perceived Control And Mistake Management: A Study On Behavioral Responses, Kaitlyn Kilburn, Alexander T. Jackson
Perceived Control And Mistake Management: A Study On Behavioral Responses, Kaitlyn Kilburn, Alexander T. Jackson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Mistakes at work can be quite costly for organizations. Mistakes can vary from minor to extreme, and mistakes cost organizations millions of dollars each year (Macciola, 2021). Perhaps what is just as crucial as mistakes is how people respond to mistakes and the factors influencing how people respond to mistakes, such as one’s perceptions of control, who identifies the mistake, and the type of mistake. Perceived control refers to an individual’s perception of the amount of power they have over their surroundings and the challenges they may encounter (Thompson, 1981). Perceived control promotes a sense of responsibility for outcomes (Skinner, …
Job Demands, Resources, And Recovery Practices Among Public Service Employees, Olivia Whitson, Kristen Black
Job Demands, Resources, And Recovery Practices Among Public Service Employees, Olivia Whitson, Kristen Black
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Public service employees, particularly those in early childhood education and non-profit sectors, face significant job demands that often outweigh available resources, leading to an increased risk of burnout and turnover (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007). Early childhood educators face unique challenges, including low compensation and high expectations, contributing to turnover rates as high as 26-40% annually (Herman et al., 2023). Similarly, non-profit employees often experience resource constraints and high emotional demands (Navajas-Romero et al., 2020). This study examines the relationship between job demands, resources, and recovery practices among these populations to provide actionable recommendations to improve wellbeing and reduce turnover. Through …
Impact Of Microaggressions And Stereotypes On Black Women In A Traditional Vs. Virtual Workplace, Kendall L. Lesure, David R. Earnest
Impact Of Microaggressions And Stereotypes On Black Women In A Traditional Vs. Virtual Workplace, Kendall L. Lesure, David R. Earnest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
This proposed project aims to examine the impact of microaggressions and stereotypes on Black women in both traditional and virtual workplaces, specifically focusing on how experiences microaggression, and stereotypes affect job satisfaction and organizational contribution. Black women face unique microaggressions, rooted in both racial and gender biases, which hinder their career progression and access to leadership roles. These microaggressions often manifest as being underestimated or unfairly scrutinized, leading to negative consequences such as emotional stress, decreased job satisfaction, and reduced organizational engagement. Microaggressions and stereotypes are prevalent challenges faced by Black women, and they significantly contribute to negative workplace experiences. …
Dark Leaders Unveiled: How Goal Orientation Shapes Perceived Effectiveness, Haley Hultz, Alexander Jackson
Dark Leaders Unveiled: How Goal Orientation Shapes Perceived Effectiveness, Haley Hultz, Alexander Jackson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Individuals who possess higher levels of subclinical (i.e., non-pathological level) dark personality traits, specifically psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism, often fill leadership positions (Harms et al., 2011; Diller et al., 2021). Psychopathy refers to the tendency to desire power/control and lack remorse, Machiavellianism refers to the tendency to break the rules and strategically plan for one’s benefit, and narcissism refers to views of superiority and need for adoration (Cesinger et al., 2022). Sadism, finding pleasure in cruelty, has recently appeared as a pertinent addition to the three original dark traits, establishing the Dark Tetrad (Bonfá-Araujo et al., 2022). Certain situations moderate …
Role Overload And Productivity: The Mediating Role Of Effort And Stress, Taylor Flinn, Gargi Sawhney
Role Overload And Productivity: The Mediating Role Of Effort And Stress, Taylor Flinn, Gargi Sawhney
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The goal of this research is to examine whether stress and effort mediate the relationship between role overload (RO) and productivity from a sample of 283 participants recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Participants completed the survey items at three time points, with an interval of two weeks between each administration. Participants were employed and worked at least 30 hours per week. On average, participants were 38.36 (SD = 10.72) years old. Approximately 54.06% were male, 45.58% were female, and 0.36% did not specify. Participants were White (79.50%), Asian (12.72%), Black or African American (4.94%), or other (2.84%). We measured stress …

Scaling Dei: Evaluating Change Preparedness In Organizations, Cassidy Zekas, Leah Uteg-Winkelman, Michaela Sutherland, Niasia Jones, Hunter Bass, Jessica Doll, H. Kristl Davison, Tim Huelsman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Many organizations implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs to promote a diverse workforce, reduce bias, and improve organizational culture to foster inclusivity and belonging. However, research shows that the mere presence of DEI programs does not necessarily lead to significant change (Kalev & Dobbin, 2016). Despite the increasing adoption of these programs, their effectiveness remains inconsistent. Moreover, recent trends have shown a backlash against DEI efforts, with over 80 anti-DEI bills introduced in the American legislative system (Lamparksi, 2024) and major companies like Ford Motor, Lowe’s, and Meta scaling back their DEI initiatives (Elias, 2023; Yildirim, 2024). These developments …

Performing On The Glass Stage: Examining Role Congruity's Effect On Firm Performance, Steven Vogel, Kristl Davison, Jessica Doll, Tiberiu Ungureanu
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Eagly and Karau’s (2002) Role Congruity Theory is one explanation for women’s lack of representation among the highest levels of industry leadership (Schaefer, 2023). It argues that people hold intrinsic associations between women and communality (e.g. Agreeableness) and men and agency (e.g. Ambition), and disassociation with the other. Likewise, it argues job roles carry trait associations (e.g. Leadership: agentic) and that when the traits assigned to the job and gender mismatch, the result is assumed unfitness. This is applied primarily to individual outcomes in internal decision-making processes (Berkery et al., 2013; Garcia-Retamero & Lopez-Zafra, 2006; Powell et al., 2002). The …

Job Crafting Across Ages: The Role Of Intergenerational Climate And Age-Inclusive Hr Practices, Kalvaince F. Die, Seth W. Jones, Courtney Baker Phd, Rushika De Bruin
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
As the workforce is currently comprised of five generations of workers across various life stages (SHRM, 2023) increased attention is needed from organizations to aid their employees throughout their lifespan (Hertel & Zacher, 2018). While HR practices directly related to age have been shown to successfully foster age-inclusive work environments (Fan et al., 2023), how these climates and age-inclusive HR practices impact the way different aged workers address their job tasks, and specifically engage in job crafting, has yet to be considered. Therefore, this study considers how age would impact job crafting behaviors, and this relationship would be moderated by …
Not Jumping On The Bandwagon: Older Workers' Perceptions Of Injustice In Ai In Selection Processes, Justin Ruiz, Courtney Baker Phd
Not Jumping On The Bandwagon: Older Workers' Perceptions Of Injustice In Ai In Selection Processes, Justin Ruiz, Courtney Baker Phd
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Technological advances are revolutionizing the world of work, and their integration into the workplace is on the rise. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a prime example, as 61% of organizations use it within their operations (Oswald & Khaleeli, 2020). However, this new integration into HR processes has led researchers to investigate how AI usage may be perceived by workers, especially when used it is used in the selection processes, and the role this may play in perceptions of procedural justice. Given that AI is often perceived as a “black box”, meaning that it is unclear how it is identifying patterns, this …

Ageism In Hiring: The Influence Of Implicit Cues On Perceptions Of Candidate Warmth, Competence, Suitability, And Trainability, Morgan A. Greene, Courtney L. Baker
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Hiring discrimination in the U.S. is an illegal practice for people who are 40 and older (Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 1967). Previous research has shown that not only is discrimination still prevalent (Harris, 2022; Abrams et al., 2016), but as much as 48% of people have experienced some type of ageism (Wilson et al., 2019). Furthermore, 90% of all discriminatory decisions are made before the hiring process even begins, typically during the resume screening process (Harris, 2022). Older age in applicants may signal to recruiters that the candidate has lower technology skills and trainability (VanBorm et al., 2021).The current …

Unlocking Employee Well-Being: The Mediating Effect Of Diversity Climate In An Inclusive Workplace, Ciara Covington, Shahnaz Aziz
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Diversity climate pertains to an employee’s perceptions of how well their organization demonstrates support and promotion to diverse employees (Leveson & Joiner, 2009; Tellur, 2023). The conceptualization of diversity climate is rooted in social identity theory (Stets & Burke, 2000) and organizational justice theory (Yean & Yusof, 2015). Social identity theory suggests that identification and membership within the organization impacts an employee’s perception of inclusivity (Mor Barak et al., 2022; Shore & Chung, 2021; Cole et al., 2016). Organizational justice theory highlights the influence of perceived fairness when organizations create and manage inclusive work policies (Griffith et al., 2005). There …

Investigating Job Attitudes Of Justice-Involved Individuals, Audrey Pennington, Sawyer Robinson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The US has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world resulting in one in three Americans having a criminal record (ACLU, 2017). Upon release from prison, securing employment is one of the most important factors to decrease recidivism (Berg & Huebner, 2011; Lundquist et al., 2018). Despite this, 75% of those who were incarcerated are unemployed a year after release. This is due, in part, to stigma and the wide use of background checks during the hiring process (ACLU, 2017). The research literature primarily focuses on effective ways to improve job-readiness for those who are incarcerated, barriers to …
Trauma-Informed Assessment And Treatment Of Domestic Violence, Lisa M. Brown, Nancy A. Johnston
Trauma-Informed Assessment And Treatment Of Domestic Violence, Lisa M. Brown, Nancy A. Johnston
Psychology Department Faculty Conferences
In the United States, 10 million people per year are physically abused by an intimate partner. This is an average of nearly 20 people per minute. While many counselors work with trauma, few have the training necessary to work with domestic violence (DV) clients. DV-specific trauma work deviates due to such factors as survival behaviors adopted by the client, continual assessment of lethality, preparing safety plans and working with the justice system. Understanding these specific elements are crucial to providing competent care to and safeguarding DV clients. This program will highlight specific factors of DV counseling including how it differs …
Communication In Noise Is The Window On Cognition, R. Haven Wiley
Communication In Noise Is The Window On Cognition, R. Haven Wiley
Animal Sentience
As Griffin surmised, communication is the window on cognition, but as shown here, only if it is noisy. This commentary is an invitation to consider the full implications of the evolution of noisy communication. A combination of Information Theory, Signal Detection Theory, and Natural Selection, in a unified theory of the evolution of communication, reveals that noise is inevitable. All organisms are thus decision makers. Perception, thought, freedom of decision, self-awareness, metabolism, and natural selection all share the consequences of signals in noise. A full understanding of each requires attention to the errors of receivers. Griffin’s hunch is correct with …
It’S Complicated: The Level Of Risk Assigned To A Missing Person, Time They Were Missing For, And The Tasks Performed By Police Investigators., Karen Shalev, Craig Collie
It’S Complicated: The Level Of Risk Assigned To A Missing Person, Time They Were Missing For, And The Tasks Performed By Police Investigators., Karen Shalev, Craig Collie
International Journal of Missing Persons
This study examines the number of tasks police investigators perform by the level of risk assigned to cases and the length of time the investigations take to resolve. It analyses 40,091 solved cases from 2019 using data from eight English police forces, as part of a wider research project of missing person investigations demand on police resources. The findings show that (1) low and high risk with a search area cases have a relationship to the duration of the investigation; (2) there is a relationship between the risk classification and the number of tasks assigned to the case; (3) the …
An Exploration Into Why There Is An Overrepresentation Of Bame People In Missing Person Cases, Phoebe Sleigh-Johnson, Fiona Gabbert Dr., Adrian J. Scott
An Exploration Into Why There Is An Overrepresentation Of Bame People In Missing Person Cases, Phoebe Sleigh-Johnson, Fiona Gabbert Dr., Adrian J. Scott
International Journal of Missing Persons
The overrepresentation of Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people in missing person cases is an issue that is not understood within society and has largely been neglected within academic literature to date. This study, therefore, aims to explore why this overrepresentation might exist by obtaining the views and opinions of 24 professionals (including police officers) working within the field of missing people. The study used a qualitative, exploratory method and an anonymous online survey containing a series of open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was performed on the data, and three main themes were identified; the first related to the idea …
Supporting & Protecting Repeat Missing Children From Different Residential Environments: A Scoping Review, Kirsty Bennett Dr, Petra Salisbury, Rebecca O'Keefe, Sharon Vincent, Bethany Mccarthy
Supporting & Protecting Repeat Missing Children From Different Residential Environments: A Scoping Review, Kirsty Bennett Dr, Petra Salisbury, Rebecca O'Keefe, Sharon Vincent, Bethany Mccarthy
International Journal of Missing Persons
Repeat missing children pose a significant financial burden onto services, including the police, social services, and health providers. Recognising that 37 to 65 percent of missing child reports each year are repeats, efforts have been made by academics and practitioners to understand this societal problem. Research has identified the risks causing children to go missing and the harms that they experience, but these focus primarily on children missing from residential care only. This PRISMA (2020) scoping review of 76 studies explores strategies implemented to prevent repeat missing episodes, and the role/influence of the home environment (e.g., with parents/guardians, and foster …
Racial Bias In Risk Allocation And Resource Utilisation: A Contributing Factor To Ethnic Minority Overrepresentation In Missing Person Investigations?, Amy Van Langeraad, Fiona Gabbert, Adrian J. Scott
Racial Bias In Risk Allocation And Resource Utilisation: A Contributing Factor To Ethnic Minority Overrepresentation In Missing Person Investigations?, Amy Van Langeraad, Fiona Gabbert, Adrian J. Scott
International Journal of Missing Persons
Statistics from the National Crime Agency reveal that people from ethnic minority backgrounds are over-represented within the missing population in the United Kingdom, and previous archival studies have shown there is a discrepancy in the recovery of ethnic minority missing persons compared to White missing persons. A wider body of research shows that racial bias is prevalent in the criminal justice system and law enforcement, resulting in different outcomes for victims depending on their racial background. Such outcomes have yet to be examined in the context of missing persons. Therefore, this study tries to address this gap in the literature …
Nature Vs. Nurture In Albuquerque: What Breaking Bad And Better Call Saul Teach Us About How We Talk About Criminals, Max Romanowski
Nature Vs. Nurture In Albuquerque: What Breaking Bad And Better Call Saul Teach Us About How We Talk About Criminals, Max Romanowski
Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul focus on the criminal transformation of their two main characters, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk). While quite similar on the surface, Walter and Jimmy’s narratives represent two different criminal transitions, evoking the classic nature vs nurture conversation. Both of these shows bring the conversation to the idea of inevitability. The nature vs. nurture argument is a popular one because it acts as a teaching tool for how we think and talk about criminal behavior. At first, it follows that since criminality was in Walter White’s nature the whole time, his …

The Relationship Between Racial Discrimination, Self-Efficacy, And Imposter Syndrome Among Black Counseling Students, Deedee Priscilla Wednesday
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Black American counseling students encounter a diverse set of experiences that create dissimilarities in their academic process and academic perception than their non-Black peers. The purpose of this quantitative analysis study was to determine if there is a predictive relationship between racial discrimination, self-efficacy, and imposter syndrome among Black counseling students. The theoretical framework employed for this study was attribution theory, which focuses on causality. Three surveys were utilized to collect data from anonymous participants: Daily Life Experience Scale, Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale , and the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale . To be eligible for participation in the study, participants were …
Lived Experiences Involving Family Decision-Making Processes For Placing Older Adults In Long-Term Care Facilities In Arkansas, Jennifer Elaine Carpenter
Lived Experiences Involving Family Decision-Making Processes For Placing Older Adults In Long-Term Care Facilities In Arkansas, Jennifer Elaine Carpenter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Although family members play an important role in decisions regarding their loved ones in long-term care facilities, their experiences have not been explored. Guided by Bowen’s family system and Simon’s decision-making theories, this qualitative study utilized phenomenology. The research question was: What are experiences involving the decision-making process for family members when placing family members in long-term care facilities in Arkansas? Purposive sampling resulted in face-to-face interviews with a sample of 11 such family members over 18 years of age. Data trustworthiness was established by using reflexivity and rich thick descriptions. Member checking was used with participants to verify transcripts …
Four Decades, Three Songs, Too Much Violence: Using Popular Culture Media Analysis To Prepare Preservice Teachers For Dealing With School Violence, Edward Janak, Lisa Pescara-Kovach
Four Decades, Three Songs, Too Much Violence: Using Popular Culture Media Analysis To Prepare Preservice Teachers For Dealing With School Violence, Edward Janak, Lisa Pescara-Kovach
Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy
Since teacher education has morphed from normal schools into colleges of education, the goals of preparing teachers have expanded. While it is essential to prepare teachers to utilize scientifically proven methods as well as to read and use research in the field, there are ever-expanding other goals that must be met as well. For one example, with the increase of school violence taking place in the United States, it is imperative to include preparation for preservice teachers on how to prevent bullying and how to handle traumatic events, such as school shootings, with their future students. However, broaching such a …
You’Ve Got To Admit It: An Evaluation Of Holistic Admissions Ratings To Predict Successful Outcomes In A Doctoral Program Of Clinical Psychology, Lauren Kidd
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Graduate admissions teams analyze student applications to decide which applicants to invite for postgraduate work. Historically, graduate admissions teams have attended to cognitive measures, including undergraduate GPA and standardized test scores. While these items have some predictive validity for cognitive outcomes like graduate GPA, admissions teams consider other admissions data to discern whom to invite for enrollment. Clinical psychology admissions teams consider written application materials, letters of reference, and curricula vitae to create a more holistic view of applicants. Research has yet to discern how the integrated evaluation of admissions data might predict the success of future professionals and serve …
Is It Really An Affect Gap? Outcome Type Vs. Intensity In Risky Decision-Making, Jordan E. Martin
Is It Really An Affect Gap? Outcome Type Vs. Intensity In Risky Decision-Making, Jordan E. Martin
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
People respond to decisions differently when emotion is involved. The affect gap hypothesissuggests that people are more likely to focus on the outcome and ignore probabilities of outcomes when emotions are strong, and people are likely to include consideration of probabilities with outcomes when emotions are weak. However, typical methodologies have a confound in the manipulation of affect, with affect-poor outcomes that are quantitative in nature (e.g., money) and affect-rich outcomes that are typically qualitative (e.g., experiences). To address this confound, I created a mixed factorial design to examine choices made in lottery pairs manipulated by intensity (low, high), outcome …
Destructive Plasticity, “Surplus Of Consciousness,” And The “Monster” In True Detective, Courtney Patrick-Weber
Destructive Plasticity, “Surplus Of Consciousness,” And The “Monster” In True Detective, Courtney Patrick-Weber
Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy
The first season of HBO's cult hit True Detective introduced viewers to a southern gothic murder mystery that many will not easily forget. Since many of us focused primarily on the whodunit narrative, we may have missed the narrative of trauma simmering under the surface of the story. This narrative of trauma reveals a deeper layer to the story between Detective Rust Cohle and serial killer Errol Childress, one that also reveals our own fears regarding trauma in our lives. By applying first the nihilist philosophies of Peter Zapffe with Cohle and Catherine Malabou's concept on destructive plasticity in Childress, …
