Alcohol consumption, executive function and risky decision making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Previous research has shown that alcohol intoxication can adversely affect behavior by impairing higher cognitive function (e.g., Giancola, 2000) and can lead to increased risk-taking (Leigh, 1999) via impaired executive ... -
Alcohol cues, approach bias, and inhibitory control : applying a dual process model to alcohol sensitivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Low sensitivity to the acute effects of alcohol, or needing a relatively large amount to feel alcohol's effects, is a risk factor for developing AUDs ... -
Alcohol placebo effects on cognitive control of race bias : investigating neural mechanisms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The present study investigated the effects of alcohol expectancy on the exercise of control over racial bias. Participants consumed either a placebo ... -
Death, prejudice, and ERP's: understanding the neural correlates of bias
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Awareness of one's own mortality can increase prejudice-related attitudes, behavior, and aggression against members of outgroups (e.g., Arndt et al., 1997; McGregor et al., 1998; Lieberman et al., 1999). The current research ... -
The impact of violent video games on executive functioning and aggression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Previous research suggests a causal link between violent video games and aggression (Anderson; 2004; Anderson & Bushman, 2001), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, even-related brain potentials (ERPs) were ... -
Investigating the early processes of person construal using ERPs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)According to the dynamic interactive theory of person construal (Freeman & Ambady, 2011), upon perception of a person, multiple social categories become simultaneously active and are refined through the integration of ... -
Neural and behavioral effects of regulating emotional responses to errors during an implicit racial bias task
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Emotion regulation plays a key role in several theories of prejudice reduction. Here, we tested whether engaging in emotion regulation strategies while performing an implicit racial bias task would alter neural and behavioral ... -
Resource-depletion : outcome of failed energy management or adaptive emotion?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The purpose of this study was to determine whether people have a limited self-control ability. Past research has shown that when people controls themselves they are worse at controlling themselve afterwards. So, for instance, ...
