Effects Of Social Support Visibility On Cardiovascular And Emotional Responses During An Acute Stress Task, Julie A. Kirsch
Effects Of Social Support Visibility On Cardiovascular And Emotional Responses During An Acute Stress Task, Julie A. Kirsch
WWU Graduate School Collection
In contrast to invisible (unacknowledged) social support, visible social support tasks produce exaggerated negative emotional responses. Processes such as social comparison and negative social evaluation confound operationalizations of visible social support. This study tested social support visibility independent of negative social evaluation and social comparison processes, and included cardiovascular responses. Female undergraduates (N = 73) participated in an anticipatory speech task. A female confederate provided either visible or invisible social support, or no social support. Negative emotions were not affected by the social support manipulations. Cardiovascular outcomes were tested by incorporating a series of theoretically driven planned contrasts into tests …
The Processing And Content Of Family Narratives In Emerging Adulthood: Gender, Family Functioning, And Associations With Identity Development, Sarah Morrison-Cohen
The Processing And Content Of Family Narratives In Emerging Adulthood: Gender, Family Functioning, And Associations With Identity Development, Sarah Morrison-Cohen
WWU Graduate School Collection
The aim of the present study was to examine the family narratives of emerging adults. While previous studies have found that interpretative narrative content in adolescents' family narratives is related to identity development, this relation has not been explored in emerging adulthood. One hundred and fifty-eight university students, most in their first year, were asked to provide written narratives of times for the family that were happy, difficult, or transitional, as well as a narrative about themselves commonly told by the family. I examined the relationship between interpretive processing and identity within and across these narrative types, controlling for family …
The Impact Of Magnetic Resonance Imaging On Juror Perceptions Of Guilt, Christopher M. (Christopher Michael) Jackson
The Impact Of Magnetic Resonance Imaging On Juror Perceptions Of Guilt, Christopher M. (Christopher Michael) Jackson
WWU Graduate School Collection
This study examined the impact of MRI-based evidence on juror perceptions of guilt in a criminal case. Jury eligible undergraduates read one of three mock trial summaries of a murder case wherein MRI evidence was manipulated: (1) MRI evidence with accompanying neuroimages, (2) MRI evidence without accompanying brain images, or (3) no MRI evidence. The proportion of guilty verdicts rendered was statistically similar across all conditions. In addition, participants did not list MRI evidence as the most influential piece of evidence for their verdict. Based on the results of this study it appears that MRI-based evidence and neuroimages do not …
Self-Silencing Among Punjabi Women: The Interplay Of Cultural Adaptation, Depression, And Domestic Violence, Madhura Bhadra
Self-Silencing Among Punjabi Women: The Interplay Of Cultural Adaptation, Depression, And Domestic Violence, Madhura Bhadra
WWU Graduate School Collection
Silencing the self theory predicts that women in oppressive relationships tend to experience loss of self through self-silencing, and are therefore more prone to depression. Past studies have found that both abuse and immigration are associated with higher levels of self-silencing and depression. The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Silencing the Self Scale (STSS) and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDIII), as well as the validity of the STSS subscales for a specific cultural population. Fifty-five Punjabi women completed the STSS, the BDI-II, and participated in in-depth focus groups for a mixed methods approach to a culturally …
