The experiment tested the effects of noise and time pressure on recognition and anxiety. It found that neither noise nor time limits had an effect on recognition scores or anxiety levels. The results were similar to other studies using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm, where participants falsely recognized critical lures as often as studied words, but less for non-studied words. The study suggests that stronger variables like louder noise, smaller time limits, or additional testing delays could be explored in future research.

Let's Play Ball-Poster-2
This study examined how group affiliation and facial expressions affect response times when cooperating with others. 52 undergraduate students participated in an online experiment where they selected which photo they would throw a ball to. Their response times were faster when throwing to ingroup (UCSB) members compared to outgroup (UCLA) members, supporting the hypothesis of ingroup favoritism. However, response times did not differ based on the photo's facial expression (neutral vs. positive), contrary to the hypothesis of a "happy face advantage". Participants were faster at selecting ingroup members with positive facial expressions compared to outgroup members with positive faces.

Research methods involve systematically studying variables and their relationships through measurement, sampling, and data collection. Key terms include independent and dependent variables, operational definitions, reliability and validity of measures, experimental and correlational designs, surveys, and ethical guidelines when conducting research with human subjects. Experiments allow determining causal relationships by manipulating an independent variable and measuring its effect on a dependent variable. Correlational studies identify natural relationships between variables but cannot determine cause and effect.

This document discusses the relationship between self-reported attitudes and actual behaviors towards people with intellectual disabilities. While self-report measures dominate research in this area, they are limited by social desirability bias and may not accurately reflect behaviors. The authors explore alternative ways of measuring attitudes, including implicit measures and tests of real-life behaviors. Their research found that people reported more positive explicit attitudes than their implicit attitudes suggested. They hypothesize that implicit attitudes may better predict subtle prejudiced behaviors, while explicit attitudes influence more deliberate behaviors. The authors plan to further study this relationship by conducting an experiment measuring voting behaviors, attitudes, and implicit biases in secondary schools.

Final Research Report
1. The study examined how time pressure and noise affect anxiety levels and word recognition using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Participants studied word lists under various stress conditions and took an anxiety and recognition test.
2. Results showed that stressors like noise and time limits did not influence anxiety levels or recognition accuracy. Participants performed similarly on the recognition test across conditions, accurately identifying studied words and falsely recognizing related words not presented.
3. The study builds on previous research examining how stress affects memory and false recall using the DRM paradigm. It investigated a combination of stressors not previously studied together to further understand their impact on cognition.
APA CTNA
This document describes collaborative therapeutic neuropsychological assessment (CTNA), a method for providing client-centered feedback on neuropsychological test results. CTNA was developed based on therapeutic assessment and individualized assessment approaches. It uses a framework based on motivational interviewing principles. The basic CTNA process involves an initial interview, neuropsychological testing, and a feedback session where test results are discussed collaboratively. Interpersonal skills like empathy, open-ended questions, affirmations and summaries are emphasized. Outcome studies have looked at the psychological and clinical benefits of CTNA feedback. The document discusses applications of CTNA and lessons learned from using this approach in clinical practice.

1. The study investigated how attentional state and stimulus familiarity influence categorical perception in speech and music sounds. Participants listened to speech and music continua in both active and passive listening conditions.
2. Results showed categorical perception was only evident for speech sounds during active listening, supporting the idea that attention is needed. Reaction times were faster for familiar speech categories compared to ambiguous sounds.
3. Neural activity 100-200ms after sound presentation predicted identification performance for speech only during active listening. The study suggests categorical perception depends on attention and stored auditory knowledge of familiar stimulus categories.
To Chart a Course: How to Improve Our Adventure Therapy Practice
Presented at the 8th International International Adventure Therapy Conference in Sydney 2018.
In the most comprehensive adventure therapy study published to date, Bowen and Neill (2013) argued that “a small percentage of adventure therapy programs undergo empirical program evaluation” (p. 41), that being less than 1%. With about three decades of research supporting the efficacy of adventure therapy, though we still have questions about dose-effect and for who adventure therapy is most effective (Gass, Gillis, & Russell, 2012; Gillis & Speelman, 2008; Norton et al., 2014) and adventure therapy performing on par with other therapeutic modalities (Dobud & Harper, 2018), there is little question that adventure therapy stands as a bonafide option as a therapeutic treatment. That is the good news.
With the publication of the first meta-analysis of psychotherapy outcomes, Smith and Glass (1977) found that participants engaging in some type of therapy were bever off than 70-80% of those that received no therapy at all. These encouraging effect sizes were on par with or outperformed many common medical treatments, such as taking an ibuprofen for a headache (Miller, Hubble, Chow, & Seidel, 2013). The psychotherapy clinical trials were conducted with research participants randomly receiving either some type of therapeutic interventions or no treatment at all (Smith & Glass, 1977). The researchers further acknowledged that when participants were randomly selected to receive one of
two different therapies, such as Cogni`ve-Behavioural or Psychodynamic Therapy, no difference in outcomes could be
found despite the theoretical differences of the two. Despite the limited publications and dissertations where adventure therapy was compared to a therapeutic intervention containing no adventurous components, we have a similar issue that adventure therapy tends to perform on par, no greater and no worse, than its counterparts (Dobud & Harper, 2018; Harper, 2010). The specific differences that suggest certain therapies are unique hold little to no variance in outcomes (Ahn & Wampold, 2001). Since Smith and Glass' (1977) pinnacle study, outcomes across psychotherapy have flatlined. Despite a ballooning of new diagnostic criteria and mushrooming of empirically supported treatments, there has been no improvement in outcomes (Asay & Lambert, 1999; Miller et al., 2013; Wampold, 2001). This presentation will attempt to untangle some of the factors put forward by researchers over the last two decades to illustrate those factors most likely to lead to improved therapeutic outcomes, such as establishing goal consensus with clients, improving the therapeutic relationship, and monitoring outcomes (Lambert, 2010; Wampold, 2001). Though this workshop will present some of these important findings, the presentation will stage my experiential journey in reaching out to coaches, researchers, and supervisors in trying to improve my outcomes as a therapist, one client at a time.
Active Listening in Peer Interviews The Influence of Message Paraphrasing on...
This document discusses research on active listening. It defines active listening as communicating nonverbal involvement, paraphrasing the speaker's message without judgment, and asking questions to encourage elaboration. The document reviews two bodies of research. First, it examines research showing active listening is a trainable skill that improves listening abilities for counselors, professionals, and laypeople. Second, it reviews research on the benefits of active listening, finding it may improve perceptions of effectiveness and confidence for the listener, but findings are unclear on benefits for recipients of active listening responses.

This study investigated the effects of auditory distractions on test performance. 73 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group that took a standardized test in silence, a group that took the test while cell phones in the room were ringing, and a group where proctors had scripted conversations. It was hypothesized that distracted groups would score lower and take longer to complete the test. Results found no significant difference in scores between groups. However, the distracted groups reported feeling more disrupted and the chatting group took significantly longer to finish than the control group, suggesting that distractions can impact test-taking experience even if not scores.
Voice hearers
The study explored perspectives on a new therapy called Relating Therapy from clients who heard distressing voices, their therapists, family members, and referrers. Relating Therapy aims to modify distressing relationships with voices by conceptualizing voice hearing within an interpersonal framework. Three themes that emerged from interviews were: 1) participants found the relational framework engaging and it provided a hopeful understanding of voice hearing, 2) therapists took a non-judgemental approach and focused on developing the therapeutic relationship, and 3) therapy helped clients develop a new understanding of their relationships with voices and others and learn assertiveness skills to change these relationships. The study provides tentative support for Relating Therapy's approach of addressing distressing voice relationships to improve well-being

The study aimed to determine if reminiscence therapy (RT) could improve communication in a 99-year-old female with vascular dementia. An ABAB single-subject experimental design measured the subject's communicative turns, mean length of utterance, and type token ratio during baseline and RT sessions. The results found that RT increased the number of communicative turns but did not significantly impact the other measures. Overall, RT seemed to enhance social engagement, mood, and confidence in communication more than linguistic abilities for the subject with dementia.

1) The document examines how reading ability influences the ability to learn talker-specific phonetic details through perceptual learning.
2) An experiment with average and advanced readers found that advanced readers had a faster rate of learning talkers' voices during training and showed greater benefits of talker familiarity on word recognition after training compared to average readers.
3) The results suggest that individual differences in talker-specific perceptual learning are related to differences in reading abilities.

Laurie Leitch, M., Vanslyke, J., & Allen, M. (2009). Somatic experiencing treatment with social service workers following hurricanes katrina and rita. Social Work, 54(1), 9-18.
Laurie Leitch, PhD, is the research director for the Foundation of Human Enrinchment and a coufounder of the Trauma Research Institute. Jan Vanslyke, PhD, and Marisa Allen, ABD, are senior evaluation specialists at Reid and Associates. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resiliency Model (SE/TRM) could "reduce the post disaster symptoms of social service workers“ who deliver services to individuals and communities after a disaster.
The researchers conducted a quantitative study of 142 social service workers who provided service after huricanes Katrina and Rita in New Orleans. The study was conducted on a nonrandom sample of 142 social service workers. 91 participants received SE/TRM and they were compared with 51 workers who did not receive SE/TRM and were matched via propensity score matching. They hypothesis was that the use of SE/TRM could reduce the symptoms of disaster relief workers post disaster. Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in relation to post disaster relief. The group that received SE/TRM showed significantly lower PTSD symptoms and psychological distress and higher levels of resiliency. The authors noted that all of the participants in this study were employed, which sets them apart from many disaster survivors as well as the study was not a „randomized control study“. Further research is needed to further study the effectiveness of SE/TRM in the field of disaster treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 15 "new or novel interventions“ that are being utilizef for the treatment of PTSD. This work was funded by the Department of Veterans‘ Affaris and National Health and Medical Research Council Programs. The study eliminated appraoches that did not offer "moderate quality evidence from randomized controlled trials“ by a team of 5 Trauma Experts. To be included, studies also required adults over 18 years of age, 70% of the sample majority were diagnosed with PTSD and outcome data were reported for severity of symptoms and diagnosis. The approaches that fulfilled this critera are emotional freedom technique, yoga, mantra-based meditation and ac.
[Paper Report] The influence of stress on social cognition in patients with b...
This document summarizes two studies that examined the stress response in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The first study found that stress increased negative emotions more in the BPD group than other groups, while physiological responses were attenuated. The second study found no difference in cortisol response between BPD patients and controls during or right after a social stress task, but BPD patients showed elevated cortisol levels 30 minutes after the task, indicating a delayed stress response. Both studies provide evidence that BPD is associated with dysregulation of the stress response system.

Testing the Convergent Validity of Continuous Self-Perceived Measurement Syst...Pierre-Majorique Léger
This paper explores the convergent validity of instruments that can provide higher temporal resolution when measuring user experience: the continuous self-perceived measurement system and psychophysiological measures. Specifically, we explore the extent to which primacy and recency effects may have an impact on the convergent validity of two constructs: valence and arousal. Using a Wilcoxon signed rank test, results suggest that users self-evaluate their valence more accurately at the end of each of the sequences than at the beginning while they evaluate their arousal more accurately at the beginning of each of the sequences. This suggests that the recency effect has more impact on valence and the primacy effect has more impact on arousal. These findings contribute to human-computer interaction research by providing more information about the psychophysiological measures that cause recency and primacy.

OVERVIEW
w
Write a 3–4-page assessment in which you use examples and research findings to explain the connections between technology and self-regulation.
The more self-knowledge and self-awareness we have, the more intentional we can be about our behavioral choices and the more we can resolve conflicts between ourselves and the social world.
CONTEXT
Research conducted on the delay of gratification in the 1960s by Walter Mischel and his colleagues attempted to explain the concept of willpower by examining how long preschool children could resist settling for a small, immediately available reward in order to get a larger reward later. Follow-up surveys with the same group found that children who were able to resist for a longer period of time also scored higher on SAT tests, had higher levels of self-worth, and coped better with stress. The study also found that those children who had at first decided to wait and then chose the immediate reward were 30 percent more likely to be overweight by the age of 11 (Mischel, et al., 2011). Some of the ways the children self-regulated their behavior in order to delay gratification to receive a higher reward were to lay their heads down on the table, nap, talk to themselves, and sing.

HafkenscheidDutchORS
This study examined the psychometric properties of Dutch translations of the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and Session Rating Scale (SRS). Data was collected from 126 clients who completed a total of 1005 ORS and SRS assessments over multiple therapy sessions. Results found the Dutch translations had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, similar to previous American studies. Scores on the ORS and SRS also converged with therapist satisfaction ratings. Additionally, SRS scores predicted later ORS scores, supporting the validity of both measures. Overall, the study provides preliminary support for using the Dutch ORS and SRS in cross-cultural settings.

The Science Bit
This document summarizes the scientific research behind the Do Something Different (DSD) approach to behavior change. It discusses that knowing does not necessarily lead to doing, and that most interventions focus on knowledge rather than action. DSD bridges this gap by helping people take small actions to increase behavioral flexibility. Studies found this led to sustained weight loss and lower stress. The approach uses digital technologies to reach people and change behaviors rather than what they think. Independent evaluations found those who participated in DSD tasks showed more sustained inclusive behavior changes than those who did not.
Rule Order Manipulation and the IRAP
This document is a thesis presented by Sarah Kenehan to fulfill requirements for a BA Honours degree in psychology from Maynooth University. The thesis explores the effect of rule order manipulation on implicit self-esteem as measured by the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP). Forty-one undergraduate students participated in the study and were split into two groups where the order of rules presented in the IRAP was varied. Preliminary results showed some differences between groups, especially for self-positive and other-positive trial types, but these differences were not statistically significant. The findings suggest that implicit responding on the IRAP may be influenced by rule order effects.

This study examined the effects of social observation on performance on a timed math and verbal test. The hypotheses that social observation would decrease accuracy and increase time were not supported. Independent t-tests found no significant differences in math scores, verbal scores, or total time between those who were socially observed and those who were not. A small negative correlation was found between time and scores, indicating less time was associated with lower scores. The limitations of a small sample size and brief experiment were noted.

The study investigated whether the tone of a political speech impacts people's sense of control over their environment. Participants viewed two videos of politicians speaking with different tones and completed surveys. While tone did not significantly impact perceived control of the audience, those who viewed the more direct tone reported greater feelings of rebelliousness and ability to control their environment, and perceived the problems as more recognized. The study provides evidence that individuals' sense of control is influenced by external sources rather than internal attributes.

Introduction
Heart failure (HF) is a progres-
sive disease, which commonly
results in functional impairment
and activity intolerance (Yancy
et al., 2013). As symptom se-
verity increases, the ability to
perform activities of daily liv-
ing is affected, creating a barrier
to effective self-care (Riegel et
al., 2009). In fact, HF is one of
the most common reasons for
hospitalization among individu-
als 65 years and older and the
main reason for about 16 million
visits to ambulatory care cen-
ters each year (American Heart
Association, 2013). Thus, many
patients rely on home healthcare
clinicians to assist with daily
tasks and disease management
(e.g., treatment adherence, daily
weight monitoring, etc.) to pre-
vent these adverse outcomes.
Living with HF not only has
physiological ramifications, but
psychological effects as well.
For example, prior research indi-
cates that approximately 50% of
individuals with HF experience
depressive symptoms (Gottlieb
et al., 2004) secondary to HF
symptoms and functional im-
pairment (Carels, 2004; Cully et
al., 2010). Depressive symptoms
are known barriers to effective
self-care (Suter et al., 2012) and
influence morbidity and mortal-
ity in HF (Yancy et al., 2013).
How one copes with increasing
symptoms of HF may influence
the development of depressive
symptoms. Although findings

interrelationships among HF symptoms, social support (actual and
perceived), social problem-solving, and depressive symptoms. Find-
ings indicated that increased HF symptoms were related to more
depressive symptoms, whereas higher levels of social support were
related to fewer depressive symptoms. The use of more maladaptive ...

For ecological theory, Ravenwood takes a holistic approach considering individuals within their various environments. Treatment teams evaluate clients' micro, meso, and macro systems. For family systems theory, Ravenwood adopts Bowen's view of families as interconnected systems. Therapists help families gain perspective on patterns and redevelop healthy functioning. Overall, Ravenwood implements ecological and family systems theories comprehensively to provide tailored, context-aware care.
Youngstown Sewage Water Policy
The document discusses issues with sewage treatment in Youngstown, Ohio that have led to environmental problems. It provides background on the history of sewage systems being built through local parks in 1919. Recent heavy rains in 2015 caused over 100,000 gallons of raw sewage to overflow into lakes, causing high E. coli levels and fish kills. Studies from 1999-2002 found the water quality in local rivers and lakes violated EPA standards due to overflows from sewage treatment plants. The city was under a federal consent decree from 2002 to address the problems, but was unable to afford the estimated $310 million in upgrades required. A new policy, the Clean Water Affordability Act, aims to make the upgrades more affordable for the city

1. The study investigated how attentional state and stimulus familiarity influence categorical perception in speech and music sounds. Participants listened to speech and music continua in both active and passive listening conditions.
2. Results showed categorical perception was only evident for speech sounds during active listening, supporting the idea that attention is needed. Reaction times were faster for familiar speech categories compared to ambiguous sounds.
3. Neural activity 100-200ms after sound presentation predicted identification performance for speech only during active listening. The study suggests categorical perception depends on attention and stored auditory knowledge of familiar stimulus categories.
To Chart a Course: How to Improve Our Adventure Therapy Practice
Presented at the 8th International International Adventure Therapy Conference in Sydney 2018.
In the most comprehensive adventure therapy study published to date, Bowen and Neill (2013) argued that “a small percentage of adventure therapy programs undergo empirical program evaluation” (p. 41), that being less than 1%. With about three decades of research supporting the efficacy of adventure therapy, though we still have questions about dose-effect and for who adventure therapy is most effective (Gass, Gillis, & Russell, 2012; Gillis & Speelman, 2008; Norton et al., 2014) and adventure therapy performing on par with other therapeutic modalities (Dobud & Harper, 2018), there is little question that adventure therapy stands as a bonafide option as a therapeutic treatment. That is the good news.
With the publication of the first meta-analysis of psychotherapy outcomes, Smith and Glass (1977) found that participants engaging in some type of therapy were bever off than 70-80% of those that received no therapy at all. These encouraging effect sizes were on par with or outperformed many common medical treatments, such as taking an ibuprofen for a headache (Miller, Hubble, Chow, & Seidel, 2013). The psychotherapy clinical trials were conducted with research participants randomly receiving either some type of therapeutic interventions or no treatment at all (Smith & Glass, 1977). The researchers further acknowledged that when participants were randomly selected to receive one of
two different therapies, such as Cogni`ve-Behavioural or Psychodynamic Therapy, no difference in outcomes could be
found despite the theoretical differences of the two. Despite the limited publications and dissertations where adventure therapy was compared to a therapeutic intervention containing no adventurous components, we have a similar issue that adventure therapy tends to perform on par, no greater and no worse, than its counterparts (Dobud & Harper, 2018; Harper, 2010). The specific differences that suggest certain therapies are unique hold little to no variance in outcomes (Ahn & Wampold, 2001). Since Smith and Glass' (1977) pinnacle study, outcomes across psychotherapy have flatlined. Despite a ballooning of new diagnostic criteria and mushrooming of empirically supported treatments, there has been no improvement in outcomes (Asay & Lambert, 1999; Miller et al., 2013; Wampold, 2001). This presentation will attempt to untangle some of the factors put forward by researchers over the last two decades to illustrate those factors most likely to lead to improved therapeutic outcomes, such as establishing goal consensus with clients, improving the therapeutic relationship, and monitoring outcomes (Lambert, 2010; Wampold, 2001). Though this workshop will present some of these important findings, the presentation will stage my experiential journey in reaching out to coaches, researchers, and supervisors in trying to improve my outcomes as a therapist, one client at a time.
Active Listening in Peer Interviews The Influence of Message Paraphrasing on...
This document discusses research on active listening. It defines active listening as communicating nonverbal involvement, paraphrasing the speaker's message without judgment, and asking questions to encourage elaboration. The document reviews two bodies of research. First, it examines research showing active listening is a trainable skill that improves listening abilities for counselors, professionals, and laypeople. Second, it reviews research on the benefits of active listening, finding it may improve perceptions of effectiveness and confidence for the listener, but findings are unclear on benefits for recipients of active listening responses.

This study investigated the effects of auditory distractions on test performance. 73 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group that took a standardized test in silence, a group that took the test while cell phones in the room were ringing, and a group where proctors had scripted conversations. It was hypothesized that distracted groups would score lower and take longer to complete the test. Results found no significant difference in scores between groups. However, the distracted groups reported feeling more disrupted and the chatting group took significantly longer to finish than the control group, suggesting that distractions can impact test-taking experience even if not scores.
Voice hearers
The study explored perspectives on a new therapy called Relating Therapy from clients who heard distressing voices, their therapists, family members, and referrers. Relating Therapy aims to modify distressing relationships with voices by conceptualizing voice hearing within an interpersonal framework. Three themes that emerged from interviews were: 1) participants found the relational framework engaging and it provided a hopeful understanding of voice hearing, 2) therapists took a non-judgemental approach and focused on developing the therapeutic relationship, and 3) therapy helped clients develop a new understanding of their relationships with voices and others and learn assertiveness skills to change these relationships. The study provides tentative support for Relating Therapy's approach of addressing distressing voice relationships to improve well-being

The study aimed to determine if reminiscence therapy (RT) could improve communication in a 99-year-old female with vascular dementia. An ABAB single-subject experimental design measured the subject's communicative turns, mean length of utterance, and type token ratio during baseline and RT sessions. The results found that RT increased the number of communicative turns but did not significantly impact the other measures. Overall, RT seemed to enhance social engagement, mood, and confidence in communication more than linguistic abilities for the subject with dementia.

1) The document examines how reading ability influences the ability to learn talker-specific phonetic details through perceptual learning.
2) An experiment with average and advanced readers found that advanced readers had a faster rate of learning talkers' voices during training and showed greater benefits of talker familiarity on word recognition after training compared to average readers.
3) The results suggest that individual differences in talker-specific perceptual learning are related to differences in reading abilities.

Laurie Leitch, M., Vanslyke, J., & Allen, M. (2009). Somatic experiencing treatment with social service workers following hurricanes katrina and rita. Social Work, 54(1), 9-18.
Laurie Leitch, PhD, is the research director for the Foundation of Human Enrinchment and a coufounder of the Trauma Research Institute. Jan Vanslyke, PhD, and Marisa Allen, ABD, are senior evaluation specialists at Reid and Associates. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resiliency Model (SE/TRM) could "reduce the post disaster symptoms of social service workers“ who deliver services to individuals and communities after a disaster.
The researchers conducted a quantitative study of 142 social service workers who provided service after huricanes Katrina and Rita in New Orleans. The study was conducted on a nonrandom sample of 142 social service workers. 91 participants received SE/TRM and they were compared with 51 workers who did not receive SE/TRM and were matched via propensity score matching. They hypothesis was that the use of SE/TRM could reduce the symptoms of disaster relief workers post disaster. Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in relation to post disaster relief. The group that received SE/TRM showed significantly lower PTSD symptoms and psychological distress and higher levels of resiliency. The authors noted that all of the participants in this study were employed, which sets them apart from many disaster survivors as well as the study was not a „randomized control study“. Further research is needed to further study the effectiveness of SE/TRM in the field of disaster treatment.

This document summarizes two studies that examined the stress response in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The first study found that stress increased negative emotions more in the BPD group than other groups, while physiological responses were attenuated. The second study found no difference in cortisol response between BPD patients and controls during or right after a social stress task, but BPD patients showed elevated cortisol levels 30 minutes after the task, indicating a delayed stress response. Both studies provide evidence that BPD is associated with dysregulation of the stress response system.

Testing the Convergent Validity of Continuous Self-Perceived Measurement Syst...Pierre-Majorique Léger
This paper explores the convergent validity of instruments that can provide higher temporal resolution when measuring user experience: the continuous self-perceived measurement system and psychophysiological measures. Specifically, we explore the extent to which primacy and recency effects may have an impact on the convergent validity of two constructs: valence and arousal. Using a Wilcoxon signed rank test, results suggest that users self-evaluate their valence more accurately at the end of each of the sequences than at the beginning while they evaluate their arousal more accurately at the beginning of each of the sequences. This suggests that the recency effect has more impact on valence and the primacy effect has more impact on arousal. These findings contribute to human-computer interaction research by providing more information about the psychophysiological measures that cause recency and primacy.

OVERVIEW
w
Write a 3–4-page assessment in which you use examples and research findings to explain the connections between technology and self-regulation.
The more self-knowledge and self-awareness we have, the more intentional we can be about our behavioral choices and the more we can resolve conflicts between ourselves and the social world.
CONTEXT
Research conducted on the delay of gratification in the 1960s by Walter Mischel and his colleagues attempted to explain the concept of willpower by examining how long preschool children could resist settling for a small, immediately available reward in order to get a larger reward later. Follow-up surveys with the same group found that children who were able to resist for a longer period of time also scored higher on SAT tests, had higher levels of self-worth, and coped better with stress. The study also found that those children who had at first decided to wait and then chose the immediate reward were 30 percent more likely to be overweight by the age of 11 (Mischel, et al., 2011). Some of the ways the children self-regulated their behavior in order to delay gratification to receive a higher reward were to lay their heads down on the table, nap, talk to themselves, and sing.

HafkenscheidDutchORS
This study examined the psychometric properties of Dutch translations of the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and Session Rating Scale (SRS). Data was collected from 126 clients who completed a total of 1005 ORS and SRS assessments over multiple therapy sessions. Results found the Dutch translations had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, similar to previous American studies. Scores on the ORS and SRS also converged with therapist satisfaction ratings. Additionally, SRS scores predicted later ORS scores, supporting the validity of both measures. Overall, the study provides preliminary support for using the Dutch ORS and SRS in cross-cultural settings.

(e) The importance of the environment for IQ is established
by the 12-point to 18-point increase in IQ when children
are adopted from working-class to middle-class homes. (f)
Even when improvements in IQ produced by the most
effective early childhood interventions fail to persist, there
can be very marked effects on academic achievement and
life outcomes. (g) In most developed countries studied,

and partly to socialization factors. (i) The IQ gap between
Blacks and Whites has been reduced by 0.33 SD in recent
years. We report theorizing concerning (a) the relationship

The Science Bit
This document summarizes the scientific research behind the Do Something Different (DSD) approach to behavior change. It discusses that knowing does not necessarily lead to doing, and that most interventions focus on knowledge rather than action. DSD bridges this gap by helping people take small actions to increase behavioral flexibility. Studies found this led to sustained weight loss and lower stress. The approach uses digital technologies to reach people and change behaviors rather than what they think. Independent evaluations found those who participated in DSD tasks showed more sustained inclusive behavior changes than those who did not.
Rule Order Manipulation and the IRAP
This document is a thesis presented by Sarah Kenehan to fulfill requirements for a BA Honours degree in psychology from Maynooth University. The thesis explores the effect of rule order manipulation on implicit self-esteem as measured by the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP). Forty-one undergraduate students participated in the study and were split into two groups where the order of rules presented in the IRAP was varied. Preliminary results showed some differences between groups, especially for self-positive and other-positive trial types, but these differences were not statistically significant. The findings suggest that implicit responding on the IRAP may be influenced by rule order effects.

This study examined the effects of social observation on performance on a timed math and verbal test. The hypotheses that social observation would decrease accuracy and increase time were not supported. Independent t-tests found no significant differences in math scores, verbal scores, or total time between those who were socially observed and those who were not. A small negative correlation was found between time and scores, indicating less time was associated with lower scores. The limitations of a small sample size and brief experiment were noted.

The study investigated whether the tone of a political speech impacts people's sense of control over their environment. Participants viewed two videos of politicians speaking with different tones and completed surveys. While tone did not significantly impact perceived control of the audience, those who viewed the more direct tone reported greater feelings of rebelliousness and ability to control their environment, and perceived the problems as more recognized. The study provides evidence that individuals' sense of control is influenced by external sources rather than internal attributes.

Introduction
Heart failure (HF) is a progres-
sive disease, which commonly
results in functional impairment
and activity intolerance (Yancy
et al., 2013). As symptom se-
verity increases, the ability to
perform activities of daily liv-
ing is affected, creating a barrier
to effective self-care (Riegel et
al., 2009). In fact, HF is one of
the most common reasons for
hospitalization among individu-
als 65 years and older and the
main reason for about 16 million
visits to ambulatory care cen-
ters each year (American Heart
Association, 2013). Thus, many
patients rely on home healthcare
clinicians to assist with daily
tasks and disease management
(e.g., treatment adherence, daily
weight monitoring, etc.) to pre-
vent these adverse outcomes.
Living with HF not only has
physiological ramifications, but
psychological effects as well.
For example, prior research indi-
cates that approximately 50% of
individuals with HF experience
depressive symptoms (Gottlieb
et al., 2004) secondary to HF
symptoms and functional im-
pairment (Carels, 2004; Cully et
al., 2010). Depressive symptoms
are known barriers to effective
self-care (Suter et al., 2012) and
influence morbidity and mortal-
ity in HF (Yancy et al., 2013).
How one copes with increasing
symptoms of HF may influence
the development of depressive
symptoms. Although findings

interrelationships among HF symptoms, social support (actual and
perceived), social problem-solving, and depressive symptoms. Find-
ings indicated that increased HF symptoms were related to more
depressive symptoms, whereas higher levels of social support were
related to fewer depressive symptoms. The use of more maladaptive ...

It provides background on the history of sewage systems being built through local parks in 1919. Recent heavy rains in 2015 caused over 100,000 gallons of raw sewage to overflow into lakes, causing high E. coli levels and fish kills. Studies from 1999-2002 found the water quality in local rivers and lakes violated EPA standards due to overflows from sewage treatment plants. The city was under a federal consent decree from 2002 to address the problems, but was unable to afford the estimated $310 million in upgrades required.

This document summarizes research on the cognitive and social development of LGBTQ adolescents. It finds that LGBTQ youth face unique challenges including difficulty developing a sense of self-identity due to societal expectations. They also experience minority stress from discrimination, which can negatively impact their mental health and physical health through risky behaviors. Their cognitive development may also be impaired if they face harassment or do not have a supportive community. Overall, the document examines how societal and environmental factors can influence the developmental process of LGBTQ adolescents.

Body Image Final Paper
Men are increasingly experiencing body image issues and eating disorders. Research estimates 5-10% of eating disorder cases are men, though many go undiagnosed due to stigma. Men experience body dissatisfaction, negative self-perception, excessive exercise, steroid use, and disordered eating behaviors driven by cultural pressures to obtain muscular physiques. LGBTQ men especially are at higher risk, as they face additional pressures within their communities to attain ideal bodies. Research aims to better understand the nature, prevalence, and risk factors of these conditions in men.
CELEBRATION OF SCHOLARSHIP - 4-14-15 Revised Final
1) College men's perceptions of their body image are influenced by their gender identity, sexuality, relationships, and sports or media portrayals of masculinity.
2) They feel pressure to attain muscular or thin ideals of masculinity shown in media. This causes some to over-exercise or restrict eating in unhealthy ways.
3) Comparing their bodies to peers and athletes can negatively impact mood and self-esteem. However, sports also provide a healthy avenue to improve body function rather than appearance.
Scientific Method- ED's
Genetics play a significant role in the development of eating disorders according to three studies. Study 1 found that identical twins exhibited more similar internalization of thin ideals and disordered eating than fraternal twins, indicating genetic influences. Study 2 determined that genetics accounted for 40-48% of variances in disordered eating behaviors for both males and females. Study 3 revealed a 38% genetic contribution to restrained eating independent of BMI. However, the influence of genetics relative to environmental factors like media is still unclear according to the conclusions. Further research is needed to fully understand the interplay between genetic predispositions and social influences on eating pathology.

The role of bishops during crises is explained, along with important cultural considerations for engagement and addressing language barriers. Resources for working with the Amish, like developing relationships with church leaders and using communication methods like newsletters, are provided.
JCU Que(e)ry Celebration of Scholarship
This study examines attitudes towards LGBTQ issues on the John Carroll University campus. Previous research found that LGBTQ individuals experience higher rates of harassment and discrimination than heterosexual peers, which can prevent them from achieving academically or feeling part of the campus community. This qualitative-quantitative study will survey JCU students, faculty, and staff using an adapted 152-question survey to investigate perceptions of bias and discrimination. The results could be used to improve programming and training to create a more inclusive campus climate for LGBTQ individuals.

Participants falsely recognized critical lures almost as often as they remembered studied words, and non-studied words were recognized less often. • Participant STAI anxiety scores did not differ between the experimental conditions. Future Research • Effects of stronger variables (i.e. louder or faster noise, smaller or longer timer) • Tempo or pitch of noise may be increased. • Effects of additional time added between studying and the memory test. • Test recall instead of recognition. • Further investigation of learning strategies within the conditions (i.e. time spacing). There were no main effects for noise, F(1,58 ) =.045, Mse =4.03,p = .832. There were also no main effects for time, F(1,58) = .029, MS e =2.56, p = .866. The ANOVA did reveal an main effect of word type, F(1,58) = 345.61, p = .000. But did not reveal an interaction between condition and word recognition, F(1,58) = .122, p = .885.
