Predicting Preschoolers' Emotion Regulation: The Roles Of Parental Depression Symptoms And Conflict, Jessica Norman
Predicting Preschoolers' Emotion Regulation: The Roles Of Parental Depression Symptoms And Conflict, Jessica Norman
WWU Graduate School Collection
Using a family systems perspective, this study investigated interparental conflict style, including destructive, depressive, and constructive conflict, as a mediator of the effects of parent depression symptoms on child emotion regulation. Self-reported depression symptoms and both self-reports and observations of interparental conflict style were collected from a community sample of 72 families when children were 6 -14 months old; observations of child emotion regulation behavior during a frustrating boring story task were collected from 33 of the original families when children were 3 - 4.5 years old. A methodological gap was addressed by examining links for both mothers and fathers. …
Preferred Social Support Roles And Methods Of Communication In College Students When Presented With Potentially Anxiety-Inducing Interpersonal Situations, Alexander N. (Alexander Nicholas) Poh
Preferred Social Support Roles And Methods Of Communication In College Students When Presented With Potentially Anxiety-Inducing Interpersonal Situations, Alexander N. (Alexander Nicholas) Poh
WWU Graduate School Collection
Person by situation, or interactional, psychology predicts that an individual's anxiety will vary across situations. Past studies noted that anxiety increased the likelihood that an individual sought others for social support. Anxiety also affected the method of communication used by individuals. According to the richness model of anxiety, higher anxiety scores are associated with indirect or low richness methods of communication and lower anxiety scores are associated with direct or high richness methods of communication. This study used a person by situation approach to examine both whom participants sought and the method of communication used when presented with potentially anxiety-inducing …
Development And Validation Of The Transgender Prejudice Scale, Maxwell R. (Maxwell Roaldseth) Davidson
Development And Validation Of The Transgender Prejudice Scale, Maxwell R. (Maxwell Roaldseth) Davidson
WWU Graduate School Collection
The Transgender Prejudice Scale (TPS) was developed and validated across four studies as a measure of transgender prejudice (transprejudice). The TPS is a 25-item scale with two subscales: sex essentialism and discomfort. Exploratory and Confirmatory factor analyses support the two-factor structure, while tests of convergent, construct, and discriminant validity support the TPS as a valid measure of transprejudice. Importantly, the TPS predicts negative evaluations of transgender individuals, and support for transgender civil rights, beyond the ability of a current popular transprejudice scale. The TPS does this by measuring the extent to which individuals conceptualize gender as dichotomous, unchanging, and biologically …
Measuring Attitudes Of Self-Silencing In Japan And The United States, Lanen J. Vaughn
Measuring Attitudes Of Self-Silencing In Japan And The United States, Lanen J. Vaughn
WWU Graduate School Collection
The primary purpose of this study was to explore the expression of self-silencing across cultures using indirect forms of measurement. Although some previous research has measured self-silencing in different cultural populations, no studies have addressed selfsilencing for Japanese participants. Many of the items highly correlated with self-silencing have been ranked higher by Japanese participants than those from the United States. Thus, self-silencing may not be equivalent across all cultures. Drawing samples from Japan and the United States, self-silencing for each of the two groups and gender were measured using the own-category approach, an open card-sorting technique. Hierarchical cluster analyses of …
Romantic Relationship Memory Effects On Future Romantic Relationship Forecasts: Differences By Attachment, Derek D. Caperton
Romantic Relationship Memory Effects On Future Romantic Relationship Forecasts: Differences By Attachment, Derek D. Caperton
WWU Graduate School Collection
The present study experimentally investigated the effects of recalling romantic relationship memories on forecasts for future romantic relationships for people of different attachment orientations. I assessed 133 college students not in a romantic relationship at the time of the study for their attachment group membership and asked them to recall and write about either their most vivid positive or negative romantic relationship memory. I measured the effects of recalling the memory on mood and asked participants to make a series of predictions, or forecasts, concerning the quality of an imagined future relationship in which they were a part. I expected …
The Effects Of Values And The Presence Of A Mobile Phone On Friendship Interactions, Genavee Brown
The Effects Of Values And The Presence Of A Mobile Phone On Friendship Interactions, Genavee Brown
WWU Graduate School Collection
Friends are sources of social support and are often observed interacting in public settings while using their mobile phones. Four types of mobile phone use were predicted: distraction, distraction multitasking, facilitation, and facilitation multitasking. These types of mobile phone use were predicted to be influenced by communication technology use, values, and friendship quality. Furthermore, these phone use types were predicted to influence the quality of a friendship interaction. An observational paradigm was used to observe mobile phone use behaviors in friendship interactions. Participants were recruited in friendship dyads and completed communication technology, values, and friendship quality questionnaires before visiting the …
