Differences Between Core And Animal Reminder Disgust Elicitation On A Core Disgust Avoidance Task--A Replication With Modifications, Matthew Schumann
Differences Between Core And Animal Reminder Disgust Elicitation On A Core Disgust Avoidance Task--A Replication With Modifications, Matthew Schumann
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Compred to other emotions, there has been a lack of research on disgust as it relates to psychopathology. Of the extant research, disgust has been shown to be implicated in various anxiety disorders and consist of three domains: core, animal-reminder, and contamination disgust. There is evidence that these domains are correlated with disgust-relevant anxiety disorders, and this sensitivity to specific disgust domains have different topographical presentations. This study aims to determine if priming participants with different domain-specific videos (core, animal-reminder, neutral) and then completing a disgust-related behavioral avoidance task that is specific to the core domain, will lead to greater …
The Use Of Applications On Mobile Devices In A Midwestern Population, Sherry Werkmeister
The Use Of Applications On Mobile Devices In A Midwestern Population, Sherry Werkmeister
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Mobile phone technology has increased over the past decade so much that most of the population owns a smart phone or a tablet device. Many applications can be downloaded on these devices. However, limited research exists examining the efficacy and effectiveness of these applications. In addition, attrition rates for these studies are extremely high. This study explored characteristics of the population who would be willing to use an application for help. College students (N=836) in a Midwestern metropolitan area were surveyed to determine if alcohol consumption or depressive symptoms influence an individual's willingness to use an application as an adjunct …
The Efficacy Of The Girls On The Run Program To Improve Self-Worth, Body Image, And Behavioral And Emotional Functioning: A Longitudinal Study, Morgan Marie Ames
The Efficacy Of The Girls On The Run Program To Improve Self-Worth, Body Image, And Behavioral And Emotional Functioning: A Longitudinal Study, Morgan Marie Ames
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Girls on the Run is an after-school program for girls ages 8-13 that is focused on improving physical and mental wellbeing. Previous research has demonstrated some utility in improving mental health, especially as it relates to self-esteem and body image. The current study focused on the longitudinal analysis of girls in this program to determine how long they need to be in this program to gain the most benefits in three key areas of mental wellbeing: body image satisfaction, global self-worth (a facet of self-esteem), and behavioral and emotional functioning. The results indicate that, in this sample from a small …
The Puzzle Of Paradoxical Insomnia, Kristina Peltz
The Puzzle Of Paradoxical Insomnia, Kristina Peltz
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The current study investigated differences in objective sleep measures and subjective sleep measures between people with paradoxical insomnia and people with accurate perceptions of sleep, finding that sleep onset latency and wake after sleep onset time significantly predicted whether someone would have paradoxical insomnia. There were no significant differences in sleep structure between groups as previous research has suggested. The study also examined differences in personality factors, attitudes toward sleep, and insomnia severity ratings, finding that people with paradoxical insomnia had more dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and higher insomnia severity ratings, but no significant personality differences. Together, these findings suggest …
The Use Of Video Self-Modeling To Treat Public Speaking Anxiety, Alicia Kruger
The Use Of Video Self-Modeling To Treat Public Speaking Anxiety, Alicia Kruger
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The current thesis is The Use of Video Self-Modeling to Treat Public Speaking Anxiety by Alicia Kruger and is for partial fulfillment of a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology at Minnesota State University, Mankato in Mankato, Minnesota. The study was completed in May, 2013 and attempts to evaluate the effect of video self-modeling (VSM) on public speaking anxiety. VSM is a form of social learning where the individual serves as his own model for vicarious learning. The Personal Report of Confidence as a Speaker was administered to 101 psychology undergraduates to screen for public speaking anxiety. Eleven participants …
Role Of Health Behaviors In Sexual Quality Of Life Among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Survivors, Keagan Lee Mcpherson
Role Of Health Behaviors In Sexual Quality Of Life Among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Survivors, Keagan Lee Mcpherson
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are a population increasingly characterized by survivorship. A psychosocial outcome integral to overall quality of life and optimal survivorship outcomes is sexual quality of life (SQOL). In this arena, HSCT patients' prognostics are markedly grim. Though examinations of variables that affect overall survivorship in HSCT patients are relatively novel, SQOL outcomes have still received a disproportionately minimal amount of focus both in research and practice. Because health behaviors and their correlates are implicated in SQOL outcomes in the general population as well as survivorship and overall QOL outcomes in HSCT patients, inquiring about the …
Empirical Evaluation Of A Home Visiting Intervention Targeting Immigrant And Refugee Children, Jenna Marie Miller
Empirical Evaluation Of A Home Visiting Intervention Targeting Immigrant And Refugee Children, Jenna Marie Miller
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Ready2Learn is a home visiting program that strives to improve the developmental outcomes in children of recent immigrant and refugee families. The program educates the parents on developmentally appropriate activities that they can implement in the home to stimulate the development in their child. To this date, no researchers have evaluated the effectiveness of this program. Researchers collected data on the developmental outcomes at the start of the child's participation in the program and after six months of receiving the home visiting services by using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Developmental outcomes were collected for five different domains: Communication, Gross …
