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...
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...
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...
Examining perceptual load capacity in Autism Spectrum Disorders and trait anxiety
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
such that individuals with higher anxiety perform better at higher perceptual loads than individuals with lower anxiety. These findings applied to both individuals with and without ASD. This provides evidence for a relationship between enhanced perceptual capacity...
The effects of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatement on nonverbal working memory-related brain activations and connectivity in individuals with phenylketonuria
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
cross-network functional connectivity during working memory performance). Consistent with prior fMRI studies (Christ et al., 2012, 2013), the present results suggest that PKU-related disruptions in neurofunctional activation and connectivity...
Electrophysiological studies of identifying and modulating the preparatory strategic processes involved in episodic memory retrieval
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
established evidence of a preparatory form of retrieval orienting and examined the potential fluctuation versus stability of such processing. Experiment 2 attempted to directly modulate the engagement of orienting processes by parametrically manipulating...
Secondary benefits of family member participation in treatments for childhood disorders : a multilevel meta-analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Family-based treatments for children with mental health, physical health, and developmental disorders often convey secondary benefits to caregivers and siblings who...
The influence of race on behavior and the neural correlates of expectancy during an economic decision game
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
races while EEG was recorded. I predicted that negative stereotype-based expectancies of Black players would cause participants to be more trusting of White than Black players, and also that these expectancies would be evident in the event...
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...
The etiologic, theory-based, ontogenetic hierarchical framework of alcohol use disorder: a translational systematic review of reviews
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
as dimensional and heterogeneous. It has the potential to improve AUD assessment and aid in the development of evidence-based diagnostic measures that focus on key mechanisms in AUD, consequently facilitating treatment matching....
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...
Predictors of symptom course in alcohol use disorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
has found considerable variability in the course of AUD (Grant et al., 2012; Rohde et al., 2001; Verges et al., 2012). Even less is known about the course of individual AUD criteria. To the extent that individual symptoms represent the focus of some...
The psychology of the Negro
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
races meet, the problem of racial differences is an important one for our educational theory and practice, as well as our social philosophy. This is especially true in our Southern States, where there are vast numbers of white and colored children...
A hierarchical Bayesian analysis of multiple order constraints in behavioral science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
not; and a model where all people show an effect. I provide a Bayesian model-comparison approach to quantify evidence for these theoretically motivated models. And, finally, I show how the modeling approach can be applied both in a single...
The precision of retrieving temporal information : behavioral and electrophysiological studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The knowledge of when an event took place provides benefits to episodic memory, such as distinguishing among multiple traces and learning event sequences. As a tool for understanding memory, time is appealing given its ...
Resolving the conflict between the discrete-slots and distributed-resources models of working-memory capacity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
It is generally accepted that Working Memory is limited in capacity. However, there has been substantial debate over whether this limit in capacity is best described as a finite limit on the number of items that can be ...
Transformative technology : examining the capacity of virtual reality induced awe to change self-transcendent values and improve hedonic and eudaimonic well-being
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Awe is an emotion that tends to shift focus away from individual concerns of the self towards collective interests that transcend the self. The primary purpose of the current study was to examine whether an experimentally ...
Motivation for smoking and smoking cessation : a self-determination theory investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
and cessation behavior within nicotine dependence. Specifically, it aims to create two motives measures for smoking and quitting based on Self-determination Theory that can be used in conjunction with existing measures to examine two components...
