The log in my eye : awareness, acceptance, and correction of partisan political bias
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, when it comes to political bias, peoples' expectation of bias (i.e., lay theories), have rarely been directly measured, despite their purported importance for judgment debiasing (Wegener & Petty, 1995). Furthermore, extant research has never directly...
A transdiagnostic investigation of amygdala-vmPFC resting state functional connectivity and emotional distress in daily lives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, replicating the results of previous research (Burghy et al., 2012). Results also found that another emotion circuit, the dACC-amygdala, was associated with negative affect and affective instability. The current research found evidence for neural mechanisms...
A hierarchical Bayesian analysis of multiple order constraints in behavioral science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Psychology is an empirical science, and oftentimes the main target of interest is an empirical effect. For example, we may be interested in human ...
Individual vs. systemic justice : using trust and moral outrage to predict reactions to vigilante murder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
, both RWA and BJW appeared to be important indicators of social values which influence perceptions of justice. Implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed....
Maintaining cross-domain objects and features in working memory : implications for storage in models of working memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A great deal of evidence, both from behavioral studies of cross-domain interference and from neuroimaging, suggests the need for a domain-general store in models of working memory. Baddeley included such a store in an ...
Toward effective and efficient treatment adherence monitoring : development of the cognitive behavioral therapy adherence measure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Despite the large body of research demonstrating the efficacy of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for the most common youth mental health problems, EBPs are rarely used in usual care (UC). When EBPs are implemented in UC settings, there is a drop...
Maternal care and environmental enrichment influences on serotonin knockout mice with implications for a gene x stress model of autism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Previous research has shown a genetic variant in the serotonin transporter gene (Slc6a4) can increase the severity of a person's reaction to stress. This variant interacts...
Adult attachment dynamics as a predictor of daily alcohol use and romantic relationship functioning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Alcohol use in romantic relationships can have positive and negative effects. Previous research suggests that these effects are bidirectional, and dependent on whether partners drink together vs. apart, and the drinker's gender. However, little...
Maintenance of relational bindings: working memory or long-term memory?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
While there has been a wealth of research examining the effects of feature binding in working memory (WM), it remains unclear how relational bindings (pairings of items, or of an item to its presented serial position) are stored in WM. We proposed a...
Freshmen college students with and without asthma : predictors of changes in smoking during the first semester
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Prior research has found that young adults with asthma are equally as likely or more likely to smoke cigarettes than their peers who do not have asthma, despite the potential...
Fast optical signal detected in the prefrontal lobe with near-infrared spectroscopy during sleep
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
If near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is to be used in clinical applications such as the localization of epileptic foci, it must be capable of recording large amplitude transients of which only a few samples are available. ...
A behavior genetic study of self-harm, suicidality, and personality in white and African-American women
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This study is an examination of genetic and environmental risk leading to suicidal and self-harm behaviors in a representative sample of female young adult twins, and racial differences in the strength of those risk factors. ...
The influence of race on behavior and the neural correlates of expectancy during an economic decision game
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
. These novel results were not entirely consistent with my original hypotheses, and thus more research is necessary to replicate and help explain the present results....
Individual differences affect hormonal responses to a team-based violent videogame competition, but not in solitary play
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Testosterone and cortisol were assessed along with various personality measures in response to a violent videogame competition in three different ...
Remembering and forgetting concurrently : new benefits of high working memory span
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Previous studies of working memory capacity have suggested that individuals with high capacities excel at several processes, including (1) distinguishing between information that is applicable versus irrelevant to the task ...
Secondary benefits of family member participation in treatments for childhood disorders : a multilevel meta-analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. In the present study, a three-level meta-analysis was used to (a) characterize the nature and quality of research on the secondary benefits of family-based treatments for childhood disorders, (b) synthesize the findings and estimate an overall effect size...

Motivation for smoking and smoking cessation : a self-determination theory investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, understanding more about this process may provide important insights into dependence. It appears progress in this area has been slowed by a paucity of appropriate theoretical and methodological tools for research (Stickland & Smith, 2014; 2015). The current...
