A therapist survey of evidence-based practices in publicly funded youth mental health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
sizes in controlled clinical trials for evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for youth MH problems (Weisz, Jensen-Doss & Hawley, 2006). One potential reason for this discrepancy may be that therapists within TAU contexts are not implementing EBTs. To date...
Longitudinal, naturalistic study of training and support for implementation of evidence-based youth mental health practices among community providers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
support in evidence-based practices (EBPs). To address this need, the current study describes the reach and impact of a county-wide youth MH initiative aimed at increasing youths' and families' access to effective youth MH services by providing free EBP...
Implementation of a low-cost, web-based, multi-component training for trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
knowledge, use, and fidelity in TF-CBT. A multiple regression showed that previous TF-BT training, clinician attitudes towards evidence-based practices, and clinician age predicted training completion. Implications for web-based trainings and implementation...
Forgetting in short term memory : the effect of time
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
that the memory trace for a set of stimuli to be remembered weakens in proportion to the amount of time that passes whereas interference posits one stimulus interacting with another as the cause of forgetting. Recent evidence has suggested that decay should...
Predictors of polypharmacy and off-label prescribing of psychotropic medications : a national survey of child psychiatrists
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)

Gut feelings and goal pursuit : a path to self-concordance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Two studies examined the role of gut feelings within the self-concordance model of goal pursuit (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999). Using a correlational design, Study 1 found that pursuing goals based on a gut feeling is positively related to having self...
Cognitive load and time based forgetting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the case against absolute time-based forgetting is strong, we believe this view to be incomplete. In 2 experiments, we show that substantial forgetting occurs due to the passage of time in at least one situation. On each trial, an array of novel characters...
Testosterone and cortisol in coalitional competition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Fourteen teams of three young men competed in within-group and between-group videogame tournaments. Salivary cortisol and testosterone levels were assessed twice before and twice after each tournament, along with intelligence, ...
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...
Daily alcohol use and relationship functioning in young adult romantic relationships
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Alcohol use is thought to have a range of effects on functioning in romantic relationships, from positive to negative. However, few studies have attempted to explain why and under what circumstances these effects occur, ...
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...
Assessing the role of pair familiarity in the associative deficit of older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in associative tests were related to reliance on familiarity or recollection. Evidence shows that both unitization and repetition increase associative memory in both younger and older adults. While recollection seems to mediate this effect in unitization...
Personal growth and personality development : well-being and ego development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Personal growth is conceptualized as the phenomenological experience of self-directed growth, which has been found to be related to positive functioning. The question remains, does the phenomenological experience of personal ...
The comprehensive arrogance scale
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
difficulty of the activity, and this pattern was in part mediated by feelings of superiority. I did not find support for the hypotheses that individuals high in CAS would practice less, nor did I find evidence for any of the hypothesized moderations...
Multisystemic therapy across the lifespan : a 21.9-year follow-up to a randomized clinical trial with serious and violent juvenile offenders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
In this study, we examined the long-term criminal and civil court outcomes of 176 serious and violent juvenile offenders who had participated in either multisystemic therapy (MST) or individual therapy (IT) in a randomized ...
Inhibitory control in male and female adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
), there was no evidence of ASD-related impairment in prepotent response inhibition as measured by the go/no-go task. Also consistent with past findings (e.g., Boland et al., 2019), age-related differences in RIVD ability were evident for the ASD group. Notably, we found...
