Sex differences in antisocial behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
paper-and-pencil questionnaire surveys in a population-based sample of 85,000 male and female Iowa schoolchildren between 10-19 years of age. The second study focused on retrospectively reported lifetime conduct disorder symptoms assessed by telephone...
Maintenance of relational bindings: working memory or long-term memory?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
-term interval in which interstimulus interval was also increased to maintain temporal distinctiveness of the items. In Experiment 2 we used a similar procedure but attempted to increase serial position effects by testing binding between word and serial position...
Observed positive and negative behaviors in children: relation to anxiety and depression symptoms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and depressive symptoms. Positive and negative behavior composites were formed based on several overt behaviors coded from video recordings of the children's speeches. Positive behaviors were significantly associated with depression but not anxiety symptoms...
Does ego threat increase paranoia?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The goal of the current research was to test whether an ego threat increases paranoia, whether the increase in paranoia was mediated by state self-esteem, and whether the increase in paranoia was moderated by the personality ...
Derivation and validation of alcohol phenotypes in a college population : a motivational/developmental approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
over four years were used to derive and validate a typology based on a more proximal etiological factor (i.e., drinking motives) and change over time in heavy alcohol involvement. Data were taken from an incoming undergraduate sample ([nu] = 3...
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...
Use of multimodal stimuli to facilitate associative memory in older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
providing evidence of an audiovisual benefit in the associative test under degradation across age groups. Experiment 2 failed to replicate these results, though there is some evidence that the prolonged stimuli degradation in the study phase, resulting from...
Cost-benefit analysis of multisystemic therapy with serious and violent juvenile offenders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
), and (2) the value to crime victims was derived in terms of both tangible (e.g., property damage and loss, health care, police and fire services, lost productivity) and intangible (e.g., pain, suffering, reduced quality of life) losses. The results...
Short and long-term effects of birth weight and neonatal medical complications on children's emotional and behavioral outcomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and adjustment are not well understood. The current investigation examined the effects of birth weight and neonatal medical complications on children's emotional and behavioral outcomes at age 2 (Study 1, N = 9074, 51.1% boys) and at age 10 (Study 2, N = 771, 48...
Rural and urban breast cancer patients: differential relationships between coping responses and psychological adjustment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Many studies have revealed that individual differences in coping responses to diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are associated with psychological adjustment. The vast majority of these studies, however, focus on ...
Post-encoding interference and the persistence of emotional memory encoding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
of word stimuli to encode, based on levels of emotional valence (negative versus neutral) and arousal (high versus low). A math problem appeared after each word in attempt to terminate post-encoding elaborative processes, with the length of the delay...
The psychology of individual differences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
Text from page 1: "Although the subject of individual differences is comparatively new from the standpoint of experimental treatment, it is a theme which has been pondered over many times in practical life, from the very beginning of time. Whenever...
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, ...
Boundary conditions for a visual working memory capacity model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
(i.e., an observer either remembers everything or nothing about a visual stimulus), could be over-simplified and thus impose validity boundaries for Cowan's K. Little has been done to examine the potential limitations of the assumption in terms of its...
Event-history mediator models of college attrition: risk goups and risk factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Early withdrawal (attrition) from college is a common and costly problem to individuals and institutions of higher learning. First-generation (FGEN) college students, whose parents have not attended college, comprise a ...
Broadening the perspective on employee absenteeism : the effects of work group and nonwork factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
unsuccessful in predicting significant amounts of variance, several findings were noteworthy. Evidence indicates that distinctions between absence measures were important: Job satisfaction was significantly correlated only with the total absence hours measure...
The use of metaheuristics for feature selection and the derivation of diagnostic rules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation includes four chapters that discuss 1) the history of metaheuristics, 2) the development of a genetic algorithm for feature selection, 3) the development of a...
Assessing single- and dual-process accounts of recognition memory using hierarchical Bayesian models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
it is based on explicit recollection. Whereas this two-process theory has been embraced by many researchers, others claim that only one process is necessary to explain recognition memory. Here, I argue that all previous evidence for both the one and the two...
Dialectical behavior therapy skills for borderline personality disorder features and related indices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
in emotion regulation. Despite several limitations, this study provides additional evidence on the importance of skills training with particular emphasis on the unique contributions of specific categories of skills use in DBT....
The effects of approach-avoidance behaviors on goal appraisals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Previous research has demonstrated that behaviors associated with approach and avoidance motivation can influence cognitions in line with the particular motivational state (e.g., Friedman & F̈örster, 2008). The present studies examined whether...
