Informing a test taker about the presence of MMPI-2 validity scales has been shown to facilitate one's ability to dissimulate while simultaneously eluding test invalidation (Baer & Sekirnjak, 1997; Baer & Wetter, 1997; Baer, Wetter, &...
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between culture and psychopathology to determine if, belongingness and burdensomeness are more predictive of suicidality risk than multicultural inclusiveness, African...
Studies on the efficacy of mental health courts (MHCs), criminal courts designed to decrease the number of mentally ill offenders in the criminal justice system and limit time spent incarcerated, find a reduction in recidivism rates for...
Sodium (Na+) is an essential mineral required in many body processes including fluid balance, neural conduction, cell membrane transport, muscle contraction, enzymatic function, and blood pressure maintenance. Dietary Na+ deprivation...
Both extinction (EXT) and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) have been used frequently to reduce problem behaviors. The benefits of these interventions have been established yet may be outweighed by the reported...
This study examined the effects of combining two cognitive-motivational models of task engagement and achievement, the Control, Agency, and Means-Ends model (Skinner, 1998) and the implicit theories model (Dweck, 1999). Data were...
Children's reading success throughout elementary school can be predicted from their emergent literacy skills, behavior, and temperament. The mechanism linking these constructs is complex; the goal of this study was to use latent variable...
For many children with developmental disabilities, the everyday experiences of an inclusive preschool classroom are not enough to foster the adequate development of a tact repertoire, which consists of all the responses (tacts) that a...
Nucleus magnocellularis (NM) is a cochlear nucleus in the avian auditory brain stem which solely receives excitatory input from the auditory nerve fibers of cranial nerve VIII (cnVIII) and bilaterally innervates nucleus laminaris. The...
This study examined the efficacy of brief functional assessment methodologies, including descriptive assessment and contingency reversal conditions, in determining function of ADHD behavior and the effects of stimulant medication in...
The purpose of this research was to investigate mechanisms underlying sodium deprivation-induced changes in peripheral gustatory neural responses to salt taste stimulation of the tongue. Previous studies have shown a strong link between...
In 2004, 3, 242 people died in traffic-related fatalities in Florida. The present study looked to further investigate the behaviors and factors related to safe operation of a motor vehicle. Automobile drivers were observed while stopped...
Memory performance benefits from reinstatement of the initial encoding context. When this reinstatement depends upon self-initiated processes, some people may be more likely to reinstate than others. The likelihood of engaging in self...
Fluency is highly correlated with reading comprehension, yet little empirical research has investigated the underlying nature of fluency. This study examined the constructs of fluency in reading and rapid naming. Alternative models of...
A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Effortful Control: Comparing a Two Factor Model Consisting of Hot and Cool Latent Variables and a General Domain Model
Effortful control is an important developmental construct that has been associated with socio-emotional growth, academic performance, and psychopathological presentation. It is defined as the ability to execute goal directed behavior to...
Using a novel form of meta-analysis, this research estimates information processing parameter estimates for older adults using the Card, Moran, & Newell (1983) Model Human Processor model and applies these perceptual, motor, and...
