▼ The microclimate of an LGBT resource center was examined for its overall use of services and potential barriers to use. The responses of 38 LGBT students in 2011 and 30 LGBT students in 2015, all from one
university, were examined to determine if the overall use of services provided by the LGBT resource center changed across time and whether overall awareness of services, the microclimate atmosphere at the resource center, and the name of the resource center acted as barriers to use. Overall use of services significantly decreased from 2011 to 2015, and awareness was the only significant barrier related to overall use of services. An analysis of the relationship of identities (e.g., sex, gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity) to overall use and the barriers to use found that sex and sexual orientation were significantly related to perception of microclimate atmosphere within the resource center.

▼ Intimate partner violence is an important social issue. There is evidence that these cases are handled differently within the legal system as a function of the gender of the abusing partner, and the sexuality of the couple. Previous studies have examined these and other factors affecting arrest decisions made by police officers, but have not focused on instances of mutual violence. A study was conducted utilizing vignettes that depicted mutual violence. Factors affecting likelihood of arrest for each partner were examined, including the gender of the perpetrator and victim, the sexuality of the depicted couple, and participant variables. Participants were a convenience sample of 440 men and women who found the study on Amazon mTurk. Results indicated a significant effect for the gender of the perpetrator, the gender of the victim, and the sexuality of the couple across most vignettes.

▼ Despite the high prevalence of overweight and obesity in men, little is known about eating and exercise behaviors in this population. Additionally, research indicates that men are resistant to seeking help for weight concerns. Few studies, however, have assessed the need for specialized weight interventions designed for overweight and obese men. The present study attempted to gain an in-depth understanding of factors that influence overweight and obese men's engagement in healthy eating, exercise, and weight interventions through the use of qualitative methods. Research questions were developed using a framework that combined components of the theory of planned behavior and PRECEDE-PROCEED model. Six focus groups were conducted with 42 overweight and obese men living in Northern
Colorado. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, an analyzed using Ethnographic Content Analysis. Time, convenience, knowledge, social support, stigma, and masculinity emerged as important factors that influence men's weight-related health behaviors and help-seeking. Results provide support for the development of gender-sensitive weight interventions that take these factors into account.

▼ Latinos are the largest and most rapidly growing minority group in the United States. They also represent the fastest growing segment of the school-age population. The number of dropouts in the Latino population is significantly higher than other major ethnic groups. Latino/a students face discriminatory barriers within the school system such as overrepresentation in special education, lowered teacher expectations, and harsher disciplinary consequences than Non-Hispanic, White students. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions, opinions, and recommendations to help improve Latino/a students' retention in high school. Interviews were conducted with middle-school staff. Qualitative document analysis was used to allow new opinions and recommendations to be found that could help increase Latino/a student retention in high schools. Multiple factors such as low parental involvement, few role models, and undocumented status were found to affect Latino/a students' participation in school. Latino/a students' self perceptions also seem to influence their school engagement. Changing policy and involving all the stakeholders involved in education are recommendations to improve Latino/a student engagement and school retention.

▼ Introduction: Binge drinking is a detrimental behavior which presents with consumption of large amounts of alcohol however, does not present with symptoms of dependence. The college population is a unique group to investigate due to the neuroplasticity and development those in this cohort are undergoing. Specifically, this age group is experiencing a natural period of neural immaturity specific to the prefrontal cortex. In addition to being identified by the personal, physical, and academic detriments caused by binge drinking, it was hypothesized this population of binge drinkers could be categorized with a neurocognitive profile which varies from their non-drinking peers. Participants: One hundred and ninety seven
Colorado State University students were recruited and categorized in to different levels of binge alcohol consumption on non-drinkers based on two self-report measures. Method: Alcohol consumption was evaluated through a sex based questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. Neurocognitive performance was assessed through six tasks: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Delay Discounting Task, One Touch Stockings of Cambridge, Trail Making Task (A and B), the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function, and the Dysexecutive Questionnaire. Results: An initial MANOVA was used to assess differences between non-drinkers and binge drinkers, showing no significance, F (12, 19) = 1.96, p = 0.09. A secondary MANOVA was used to evaluate differences across different categories of binge drinkers and non-drinkers, where significance was noted, F (36, 92.32) = 1.56, p = 0.045. The post hoc tests suggest the significance of this relationship was due to poorer performance on the WCST by binge drinkers, F (3, 42) = 3.27; p = 0.03. Conclusions: Though the deficits were not as vast as hypothesized, the inability for binge drinkers to complete an equal number of categories in the WCST as their non-drinking peers holds interesting conclusions. Those which are discussed relate to binge drinkers' inefficient self-reporting of executive functioning performance, as well as allowing us to possibly understand why we see differences in binge drinkers' perception of alcohol outcomes and their personal self-efficacy with alcohol consumption.

▼ While the use of mobile phones and text messaging has made it easier for hostage negotiators to communicate with other law enforcement personnel in crisis situations, little research has examined how text messaging could be used to communicate with the perpetrator. The purpose of this preliminary, qualitative study was to explore the similarities and differences in communication patterns of two hostage negotiations, one that took place verbally and one that occurred through text message. Both transcripts were analyzed using the Crisis Communication Rating Scale (CCRS), a behavioral coding system developed by McClain (2004). The study provided initial insight into several important similarities and differences between the modes of communication. First, the hostage negotiator relied heavily on the use of personal and situational disclosures to resolve the situation, regardless of the mode of communication. Additionally, both the hostage negotiator and barricaded suspect used reflective statements more frequently when they were able to communicate verbally. Lastly, when communicating through text message, the hostage negotiator used persuasive statements more frequently, while the barricaded suspect used expressive statements of anger more frequently. Possible implications for training and practice are discussed.

▼ The present study investigated possible differences in how male and female therapists respond to a disclosure of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) from a male or female client. A total of N = 249 practicing psychologists read a vignette describing a disclosure of CSA by a client. Participants were then asked to complete quantitative and qualitative measures on disclosure responses, attitudes toward survivors of CSA, and socially desirable response patterns. Multivariate analyses indicated that, after accounting for attitudes toward survivors of CSA, male and female therapists did not significantly differ on their responses to a CSA disclosure, and that male and female clients did not elicit significantly different responses. Data from the present study was compared with that of a previous study on college student responses to CSA disclosures. These post-hoc analyses revealed that college students were more likely than therapists to provide emotionally supportive, distracting, and egocentric responses to a CSA disclosure. Analyses also revealed that therapists endorsed significantly more negative attitudes toward survivors of CSA than college students. Implications for clinical practice and future directions for research are discussed.

▼ This project aimed to increase understanding of inhalant abuse among ethnically diverse rural adolescents, an under-researched population when it comes to substance abuse (Pruitt, 2009). The present project used general findings about substance use from previous research reported in the literature, as well as findings specifically addressing inhalants, to test structural equation models of inhalant abuse for three major ethnic groups: African Americans, Mexican Americans and Whites. The sample consisted of survey responses from a total of approximately 17,000 rural adolescents, primarily from the Western and Southeastern United States, and was a subset of data collected under a nation-wide study of substance use by rural youth. The size and diversity of this sample allowed for the testing of Peer Cluster Theory and its ability to predict inhalant abuse across three ethnicities. The study utilized Structural Equation Modeling and included the following constructs: family caring, family sanctions, religious identification, school adjustment, peer drug associations, and inhalant abuse. According to Peer Cluster Theory, the effects of all the above factors on inhalant abuse are mediated through peer drug associations. The first hypothesis of this study was that Peer Cluster Theory would be successful as a predictive model for inhalant abuse, as it has been for other types of drug abuse (Breitmayer et al., 1993; Oetting, Donnermeyer, & Deffenbacher, 1998; Oetting, Donnermeyer, Trimble, & Beauvais, 1998). The second hypothesis, more exploratory in nature, was based on prior qualitative work (Wood et al., under review) and stated that there would be differences in model fit and/or specific regression coefficient paths across ethnic groups. The third hypothesis, based on findings reported in the literature by Mackesy-Amiti and Fendrich (2000), was that African Americans would have a lower regression coefficient for the path from school adjustment to peer drug associations than would Mexican Americans or Whites. Findings indicated that Peer Cluster Theory was validated as a predictive model of inhalant abuse for all three ethnicities. Measurement variance made ethnic comparisons tenuous, but a substantive difference was found in the regression coefficients for the path from family sanctions to peer drug associations comparing ethnicities, with higher values for African Americans than for Whites. The hypothesis that the path from school adjustment to peer drug associations would be weaker for African Americans was not supported. Implications of the findings, limitations of the study, and directions for future research are discussed.

▼ Research has suggested that people who approach their work as a calling are more likely to report higher life satisfaction and job satisfaction than those who do not. Different Christian denominations may have different approaches to how they view work, however. Research has also supported the idea that people who are intrinsically religious are more likely to interpret their work in a religious way. People who are extrinsically religiousness may not interpret their work in the same way. This study examined calling's relation to life satisfaction and job satisfaction, using denomination, intrinsic religiousness, and extrinsic religiousness as moderators. Participants were 215 employees at a large western
university who identified themselves as Christians. They were classified into one of three categories: Non-Evangelical Protestant (n = 107), Evangelical Protestant (n = 60), and Catholic (n = 48). Hierarchical regression analyses were run which treated religious denomination, intrinsic religiousness, and extrinsic religiousness as moderators. Calling and religious denomination significantly predicted job satisfaction and life satisfaction, but the interaction between the predictors did not significantly predict the satisfaction variables beyond what had been predicted by the main effects alone. The interaction between calling and intrinsic religiousness, however, significantly predicted life satisfaction and job satisfaction. The interaction between search for calling and extrinsic religiousness did not significantly predict life satisfaction or job satisfaction beyond what had been predicted by the main effects alone. Results suggest that intrinsic religiousness moderates the relationship between calling and life satisfaction and job satisfaction and that denominational differences and extrinsic religiousness may not. Implications for research and practice are considered.

▼ The current study developed a model of post-traumatic growth to assess the multiphasic, transitional experience of patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by a provider at the Centers for Gastroenterology in Northern
Colorado. Specifically, this study examined individuals within the IBD population who have received a diagnosis of either Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) was used to identify the primary domains and subthemes from six participant interviews. Four large domains were extracted from the data, which were used to construct a model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Post-Traumatic Growth (IBDPTG). The four, major domains include identity loss/grief, the perception effect, identity reconstruction, and post-traumatic growth (PTG). The original model proposed for this study included all of the aforementioned domains, except for the perception effect. The trained research team involved in this study conducted three meetings to discuss and compare domain/thematic findings. We identified that participants' attitudes/beliefs about their diagnosis was a precursor to progressing to the identity reconstruction phase, and, therefore, needed its own, distinct domain. Subthemes were also identified in each of the four domains, which further captured the nuances and complexities of IBD disease management for our participants. Participants were also asked to complete two sets of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), two sets of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), one Symptom Checklist 90-R (SCLR-90-R), and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Participants were asked to retrospectively complete the first set of self-report questionnaires (BDI-II, BAI, SCL-90-R), as they reflected on their psychological
state during their most severe disease experience. We then conducted a semi-structured interview with each participant that lasted approximately 60-75 minutes. After the interview portion of the study, we asked participants to complete the BDI-II and BAI based on their symptom presentation within the last two weeks. We compared the difference between levels of anxiety and depression during active and inactive disease flares. Scores on the BDI-II indicated that participants experienced high levels of depression during severe flares, but that their mood greatly improved with adjustment and mental stability. Scores on the BAI also indicated that the participants experienced higher levels of anxiety during periods of disease relapse, as opposed to periods where their disease was dormant. The SCL-90-R was used to supplement the qualitative data obtained during the interviews. The PTGI was given to the participants at the end of the study to examine whether our qualitative data captured any additional, potentially disease-related growth not yet addressed on the questionnaire. The three subthemes identified in the domain of PTG include: positive personal growth, positive social growth, and positive growth in disease perception.

▼ Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals face significant mental and physical health disparities compared to their heterosexual peers. Such differential outcomes are often attributed to minority stress, chronic stress that is specific to one’s marginalized status and which is distinct from normal every day life stress. Current research, which attempts to assess the relationship between minority stress and health, is stifled by lack of a uniform measurement tool to operationalize the construct. The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive tool that encapsulates all of the major dimensions of minority stress, as defined by Meyer’s (2003) LGB minority stress model. The final LGBT Minority Stress Measure is a 25-item self-report scale, with seven subscales: identity concealment, everyday discrimination/ microaggressions, rejection anticipation, discrimination events, internalized stigma, victimization events, and community connectedness. Results from 640 participants, including 119 of which identified as gender non-conforming, supported the psychometric properties of the scale. Additionally, consistent with existing literature, greater minority stress was associated with increased psychological distress.

▼ While leadership and organizational culture types are suggested to affect one another, contextual issues and unstable conditions make these effects difficult to measure. Using organizational outcomes with previously demonstrated relationships to both leadership and culture types, we create a controlled environment to establish 4 possible leadership and culture combinations. Using regression analysis, we explore possible mediation, moderation, and main effects of each condition on psychological empowerment and organizational commitment. Results indicate a lack of significant main effect by leadership, while "flexible" culture type produced higher scores of both psychological empowerment and organizational commitment over the "stable" culture type.

▼ The current study sought to understand LGBTQ campus climate for LGBTQ doctoral students. Narrative analysis was used during this exploratory study to identify "when" the three LGBTQ doctoral student participants had experiences related to their LGBTQ identities, including "what" was happening during those events and "how" it was happening. These experiences occurred during six events (i.e., applying to graduate programs, receiving letter of acceptance from graduate program, visiting weekend after receiving acceptance letter, choosing advisor or research lab, working as a graduate teaching assistance, and preparing for PhD candidacy exams) and four time periods (i.e., early general experiences in the graduate program, general graduate school experiences, general research lab experiences, and general social experiences during graduate school). This study also identified how these experiences supported or hindered LGBTQ doctoral student success. Overall, the results suggested that LGBTQ doctoral students expended substantial effort to manage the harmful components of campus climate, which were present across locations, times, and roles as a doctoral student. Finally, participants shared their own proposed changes to improve campus climate, and the primary researcher provided an overarching list of recommendations to improve LGBTQ campus climate for LGBTQ doctoral students.

▼ The current study sought to understand the experience of hospice nursing staff with hospice and the differences they perceived in caring for older adult patients who utilize hospice for longer and shorter periods. This study also sought to understand older adult patients' experience of hospice services and if length of hospice stays had an effect on the patients' end-of-life experience, as perceived by hospice nursing staff. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to extract themes and subthemes from 10 interviews conducted with hospice nursing staff. Major themes include nursing staff reporting a positive view of hospice, but also being aware of a perceived stigma against hospice among both older adults and their family members. Another major theme identified was how older adults' perception of hospice changes based on length of use, with longer use leading to more positive views of hospice. Participants discussed aspects that affect length of stay and how longer hospice stays are more positive than shorter. The last two major themes were participants believing more education about hospice is needed and a frustration with the Medicare reimbursement process of hospice. Content analysis was also utilized to extract two noteworthy concepts that did not fit within the guidelines of IPA. These noteworthy concepts were extracted from a comparison of two older adult deaths, one that used hospice for a short period (less than two weeks) and another for a long period (more than four weeks). When comparing these stories, it became evident that longer hospice stays had more aspects of a 'good' death and tended to utilize more services provided by hospice. These themes and noteworthy concepts suggest hospice nursing staff believe longer hospice stays are more positive, hospice nursing staff view hospice more positively than older adult patients, and more education may lead to longer hospice stays.

▼ Due to educational and professional obstacles, as well as the psychological tolls associated with racism and sexism, Black women may feel pressured to present a self to the world that is viewed as acceptable to others. Through identity negotiation, a conscious process of shifting one's worldview and/or cultural behaviors (Jackson, 2004), Black women may adopt multiple identities that appease both the White and Black community. The need to investigate the collective identities among Black women using a non-White ideology, such as Black feminist model, is critically needed. The purpose of this investigation was to understand the effect of the negotiation of race, class, and gender identities on Black women's self-perception, specifically as it relates to their participation in the workforce, and personal and professional relationships. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and the sample consisted of ten academically successful Black women. To be eligible to participate in this study, co-researchers must have met the following criteria: 1) self-identify as a Black/African American woman, 2) recently obtained bachelor's degree in the past 5 years, 3) currently working in a predominantly White environment, and 4) living in a majority Black urban area. Data from the interviews were classified through identified themes, and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Themes constructed from the data include: a) the complexity of the intersectionalities of race, gender, and class identities, b) negotiation of identities in predominantly White social and work environments, c) negotiation of identities in a predominantly Black environments, d) triggers for the negotiations of race, class, and gender identities, and e) conflicted anxieties towards negotiating identities. The results of this study may be utilized to develop intervention programs that promote positive self-worth, and the development of academic and personal success among Black women aspiring to enter the evolving workforce.

▼ The association between empathy and compassion was examined in a sample of Americans aged 35 to 86, using national survey and phone interview data, biological data, and neuropsychological data. Given the postulation that empathy is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for compassion to emerge, compassion is conceptualized here as an emergent process that is contingent upon empathic arousal. The degree to which an experience of empathic arousal translates into compassion is hypothesized to depend upon an individual's ability to downregulate the emotional response associated with empathic arousal, which is conceptualized as physiological upregulation in response to witnessing another's suffering. If this hypothesis is supported, then the ability to downregulate physiological processes associated with empathic arousal should mediate a positive association between the activation of empathic feelings and engagement with compassionate behavior. While empathic arousal was found to predict compassion, we were unable to infer that downregulation processes mediated the relationship. The results of this study present preliminary findings that may inform future work aiming to clarify the construct of compassion. The results may also provide useful groundwork for future work about "compassion fatigue" and about how the emergence of compassionate action in therapeutic interactions can be cultivated.

▼ This study explores the perception of belonging by Latino undergraduate students attending a predominantly White private
university by documenting, in their "own voices," the extent of their participation in the social and academic life of the campus. Tinto (1975) suggests that, the process of dropout from college can be viewed as a longitudinal process of interaction between the individual and the academic and social systems of the college during which a person's experiences in those systems (as measured by his/her normative and structural integration) continually modify his goal and institutional commitments in ways which lead to persistence and/or to varying forms of dropout. (p. 94). In addition, other researchers have added to the growing body of literature on students' perceptions of the college environment. Hurtado and Carter (1997) suggest that, "Studying" a sense of belonging allows researchers to assess which forms of social interaction (academic and social) further enhance students' affiliation and identify with the colleges" (p. 328). In addition, Hurtado and Carter stated that, "understanding students' sense of belonging may be the key to understanding how particular forms of social and academic experiences affect these (racial and ethnic minority) students" (p. 324). They also asserted that, "further research is necessary to understand racial and ethnic minority students' views of their participation in college as an important part of the process of engagement in the diverse learning communities of a college" (p. 324). In addition, studies by Allen (1988), Oliver, Rodriguez and Mickelson (1985) and Smith (1988) have indicated that in predominantly White campuses underrepresented students are alienated from the mainstream of campus life. The research approach for this study utilized a phenomenological form of qualitative inquiry. This approach seeks to understand the central underlying meaning or essence of an individual's experience. Themes related to the Latino's students perceptions of socially and academically belonging emerged from the interview data. It is my desire that the emerging insights will serve to help higher education professionals create a welcoming and supportive campus climate for Latino undergraduate students. I believe that a supportive campus climate will result in an increase in the Latino graduation rate. Further, I undertook this inquiry, "not so much to achieve closure in the form of definitive answers to the problems but rather to generate questions that raise fresh, often critical awareness and understanding of the problems" (Schram, 2003, p. 4).

▼ The use of criminal background checks in selection has become widespread with increasing ease of access of such information online. The present study examined the effects of criminal history, race, and knowledge of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Enforcement Guidance including the redemption point on hiring decisions. Results indicated that criminal history plays a significant role in perceptions of employability yet knowledge of the redemption point does not mitigate the negative effects of past criminal history.

▼ Social-connectedness has many important implications for both psychological and physical health (Holt-Lunstad, Smith, & Layton, 2010; Stavrova & Luhmann, 2016). Given the importance of having social-connectedness needs met, it is important to understand the relations among variables that predict or influence social connectedness. Two of the earliest-in-life predictors of later social outcomes are personality and attachment tendencies (Haggerty, Hilsenroth, &Vala-Stewart, 2009; Lee, Dean, & Jung, 2008). Shame proneness has been linked to both attachment tendencies and social outcomes (Lutwak, Panish, & Ferrari, 2003; Muris et al., 2014). Shame aversion has been less studied but shows promise for being a more specific and powerful predictor than general trait-level shame (Schoenleber & Berenbaum, 2010). The literature to this point has not included these variables in a single multivariate model. In the current study, it was hypothesized that Personality and Attachment would predict Social Connectedness through Shame Proneness and Shame Aversion. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test this model. Data (n=1,386) were collected from an undergraduate student population in the Mountain region of the United States, and were randomly split to create two large samples – a testing and a confirmatory sample. Results revealed a good fit between the hypothesized model and the data for the Personality, Attachment, and Social Connectedness portions of the structural model. The hypotheses regarding the indirect effects of Shame Proneness and Shame Aversion in the model, however, were not supported. The modified model demonstrated good fit with the confirmatory sample, but the fit was significantly different between the two samples. Thus, a third study was conducted wherein the hypothesized model was tested and modified with the full sample. Implications of findings for theory and clinical intervention as well as directions for future research based on results from study 3 are discussed.

▼ Alcohol consumption and alcohol consequences among men in college are significant health concerns, making it important to examine how psychosocial and biological variables surrounding masculine gender norms may play a role in alcohol-related behaviors. Men's conformity to certain masculine norms in the United States is a predictor of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Sensation seeking, which occurs at higher levels among men, is a personality trait related to increased alcohol consumption and increased risk-taking behavior, which also occurs at high levels among men. Despite theoretical overlap between these personality-based and psychosocial variables, they have not been empirically compared. Based on evidence from peer influences and masculinity, it is possible that individuals that endorse traditional masculine norms may experience peer norms among close friends that promote and encourage dangerous drinking behaviors. Quantitative methods were employed to explore endorsement of traditional masculine norms, personality variables with known relationships with alcohol-related outcomes, peer norms for alcohol use and alcohol-related outcomes. Qualitative methods were utilized to explore the ways in which participants view drinking and drinking behaviors in the context of masculinity and male peers. Results suggested that there are significant relationships between sensation seeking and several subscales of the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI), most notably risk taking (r = .77). Results of several path analyses suggested that risk taking and sensation seeking predict alcohol consumption and alcohol consequences via descriptive norms for alcohol use. Relevant themes from the qualitative analysis included posturing, no effect, consumption habits, sources of influence, and drinking and responsibility. Quantitative and Qualitative results provided evidence of a relationship between peer norms for alcohol use and masculinity. Quantitative results show relationships between several subscales of the CMNI and injunctive and descriptive norms for alcohol use among close friends. These results also suggest that higher endorsement of risk taking and sensation seeking is related to increased perceptions of peer alcohol use, which in turn predicts alcohol consumption and alcohol problems. Qualitative results also provide evidence of a connection between masculinity and alcohol consumption as well as masculinity and risky behaviors while drinking. The qualitative results also provide evidence of context-specific behaviors and specific mechanisms through which masculine norms and peer influences impact alcohol behaviors. These findings advance research aimed at understanding relationships between masculinity, sensation seeking, peer norms, and alcohol-related behaviors. Implications for treatment and prevent, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

▼ The present study examined a meaning-making model, focusing on the impact of Coping, Posttraumatic Growth, Life Meaningfulness, Belief in a Just World, Well-Being, and God Images. The path analysis generally mirrored a model Park and colleagues' (2008) constructed in their examination of meaning-making among cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to replicate their model and investigate its interactions with God Images. This research was undertaken to offer new insights into the meaning-making model and extend knowledge of God Images in clinical work and research. The present study's sample consisted of military veterans and undergraduate psychology students. The path model for the present study was significant and generally conformed to Park and colleagues' (2008) meaning-making model. The God Images behaved as expected with some exceptions. The God images Present and Providence significantly moderated mediation relationships in the meaning-making model. The God image, Present, moderated the effect of Posttraumatic Growth mediating Coping and Life Meaningfulness of the model. God as Present also moderated the effect of Life Meaningfulness mediating Posttraumatic Growth and Well-Being. The God Image, Providence, moderated the effect of Belief in a Just World mediating Coping and Life Meaningfulness. Providence also moderated the effect of Life Meaningfulness mediated Posttraumatic Growth and Belief in a Just World. Discussion of the implications of these findings for research and clinical work follow.

▼ Substance misuse is a leading cause of death in the United States that disproportionately affects the mentally ill and receives inadequate resources for research and treatment. Prior studies have indicated the majority of individuals with serious mental illness also meet criteria for at least one substance use disorder, and individuals dually diagnosed with these conditions experience significantly poorer outcomes. Despite this, treatment facilities have generally failed to adopt Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment [IDDT], an evidence-based modality of treatment for the dually diagnosed population. Practitioners of addiction treatment are rarely required to be licensed health professionals, and the credentialing requirements for addiction counselors vary widely by
state. This paper utilizes a mixed-method approach to examine the
state-by-
state variation in required formal education for addiction counselor credentials with particular focus on coursework related to treating the dual diagnosis population. A directed content analysis of the requirements by
state was conducted, followed by a multiple linear regression comparing requirements of addiction counselor education and the ratio of substance use facilities providing a minimal interventions for dual diagnosis. The results indicated no connection between addiction counselor education and likelihood of availability of dual diagnosis treatment within a given
state's treatment facilities. However, significant variation with regard to credentialing was found between states. These issues are presented within the context of the history of addiction treatment in the United States. Implications for policy are discussed, and recommendations for the evolution of the field are made.

▼ This study examines the effects of the use of impression management tactics on the professional networking site, LinkedIn. It makes three primary contributions to the literature. First, this study examines how a job seeker's use of impression management on LinkedIn affects inferences of his or her cognitive ability and conscientiousness. In addition, I compared inferences of cognitive ability and conscientiousness made from resumes and LinkedIn profiles, which showed inferences made from LinkedIn profiles have incremental validity over inferences made from resumes. Finally, these findings build preliminary validation evidence for the use of LinkedIn as a selection screening tool.

▼ In 2014, marijuana became legal for recreational use for adults 21 and older in
Colorado (
Colorado Const. art XVIII § 16., 2012). There are potential health risks related to marijuana dependence, which are more prominent in adolescent users (Volkow, Baler, Compton, & Weiss, 2014). Medical marijuana legalization has not been shown to increase marijuana use or prevalence of dependence (Cerdá, Wall, Keyes, Galea, & Hasin, 2012). Changes related to legalization may include increased availability and social acceptance, as well as decreased price and perceived harm of use (Hopfer, 2014). There also may be increased interest in moving to
Colorado related to the changes in marijuana laws (United States Census Bureau, 2015; Institutional Research & Analysis, 2014). The facets of sensation seeking, risk seeking and experience seeking, influence marijuana use (Zuckerman, 2007; Conner & Henson, 2011). Sexual orientation has a quadratic relation to marijuana use (Ford & Jasinski, 2006). Use among bisexuals is higher than use at either end of the spectrum (Eisenberg & Wechsler, 2003). Based on these findings, several hypotheses were made. First, marijuana use would increase in college students after legalization, however just for those 21 and older. Next, risk seeking and experience seeking would both uniquely moderate marijuana use before and after legalization and in underage and of-age students. Third, sexual orientation would have a quadratic relation with marijuana use. Finally, the relation between the influence of marijuana leglislation on non-residents decisions to attend a
Colorado college and marijuana use was examined. Data was collected from undergraduate students (N = 5241) at a
Colorado university. Participants were assessed for marijuana use behavior, sensation seeking, sexual orientation, and influence of marijuana laws on non-resident decision to attend
Colorado schools. Pearson’s Chi-square, analysis of variance, negative binomial regressions, and polyserial correlations were used to test the hypotheses. Results indicated that marijuana use has increased since legalization for all students, but moreso for those over 21 (p < .001). No differences in frequency of past month use was found between pre and post legalization (p = .615). Regression analysis found experience seeking to be a significant predictor of past 30 day use (p <.05). Additionally, risk seeking predicted use for those under 21 (p <.01). A quadratic relation was found between sexual orientation and past month use, where use increased at a decreasing rate from the homosexual end of the spectrum to the heterosexual end (p <.01). Correlations were found between degree of marijuana law influence and both past 30 and lifetime use among non-resident college students (ρ = 0.29, p < .001; ρ = 0.17, p < .001). Overall, legalization, experience seeking, underage risk seeking, sexual orientation, and legislation influence on decision making all predicted marijuana use. These findings may help inform other states considering legalization of potential outcomes…

▼ Society is lacking numbers and diversity of trained scientists to address important key problems. Undergraduate women have been identified as a group that leaves the science-career pipeline at high rates (NSF, 2015), though researchers have highlighted science self-efficacy, identity, values, and intentions, as critical predictors of their persistence (Estrada et al., 2011). The current study proposes and investigates a new predictor of women's persistence in science: perceiving a calling as a scientist. Perceiving a calling predicts career development tasks and outcomes that are similar to known predictors of women's persistence in science (Hirschi, 2012). The present study explores if and how calling as a scientist relates to undergraduate women's science self-efficacy, identity as a scientist, interest in science, scientific community values, and intentions to pursue science. Bivariate correlations suggest perceiving a calling as a scientist is positively related to undergraduate women's science self-efficacy, identity as a scientist, prosocial values of the scientific community, and intentions to pursue science. Using Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) as a framework, the hypothesis that the relationship between perceiving a calling as a scientist and intentions to pursue science is mediated by science self-efficacy and science identity (respectively) was supported. Explanations and implications of all investigated relationships are discussed. This study establishes calling as a new predictor, and SCCT as useful framework, for continued investigation of women's persistence in science.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between student pre-college academic perceptions with first-year in college academic experiences, specifically in the areas of academic self-efficacy, academic perseverance, and academic engagement, to identify predictors for academic success and persistence in college of Hispanic students. An abbreviated version of the expectancy-value model was utilized as the framework for this study. The guiding question for this study was: Do pre-college experiences and beliefs (expectancies for success) as well as academic engagement (subjective task values) contribute to the academic success (achievement related performance) and persistence to second year (achievement related choice) for first-year Hispanic students? The study sample (n = 271) included students at a public Hispanic-serving institution who completed both the BCSSE and NSSE surveys in the given years of the study. Findings identified several variables as predictors of achievement-related performance and choice. The variables identified for achievement-related performance (academic success) were writing skills, speaking skills, quantitative skills, participation in class discussions, finishing tasks, gender and type of school attended. The variables identified for achievement-related choice (persistence) were writing skills and quantitative skills. Additionally, significant differences were identified by gender for academic self-efficacy and by generation-status and by type of school attended for academic engagement.

▼ Intentional efforts toward recruitment and retention of diverse populations of students, faculty, and staff are essential for the evolution and development of higher education institutions. Progress relies on a commitment to diversity in all facets of the institution in order to embrace a population that continues to diversify. Through assessment and evaluation of current student populations, understanding the impact of this effort is realized through an evaluation of the environment. This study utilizes data previously gathered through a campus climate survey at one
university. Guided by a Critical Race Quantitative Intersectionality (CRQI) Framework, a quantitative methodology and an intersectional data mining approach is performed. Analysis begins with demographic data disaggregated by race, and then separated by gender identity and first-generation status to investigate for differences between and within groups on an established Campus Climate for Diversity dimension and a Sense of Belonging dimension. The data are analyzed through ANOVAs, split-file ANOVAs, and Factorial ANOVAs. The results indicate statistical, significant differences between races on all measures of the Sense of Belonging dimension and differences within racial groups when analyzed at the intersection of gender identity. Last, through simple linear regression analysis, campus climate for diversity serves as a predictive variable to sense of belonging for students attending this
university.

▼ Previous research has linked childhood trauma to a range of adverse psychological and behavioral consequences which affect a child's wellbeing and ability to be successful socially and academically. Previous studies have also found childhood trauma to be associated with deficits in neuropsychological functioning. It has been proposed that the experience of trauma at critical points disrupts a child's neurodevelopment and that the disruption and subsequent deficits in neuropsychological functioning in part explain the psychological and behavioral struggles exhibited by traumatized children. This study aimed to explore the relation between cumulative trauma and psychological, behavioral, and neuropsychological outcomes among system-involved youth. Resilience and age at onset were included in analyses as potential mediators. Results indicated that more trauma types experienced predicted more psychological symptoms, and more behavioral concerns among youth living with their biological parents. In addition, deficits in executive function, specifically in shifting, were predicted by cumulative trauma. These results demonstrate the importance of accounting for the number of traumas experienced by youth present with related symptoms and behavioral concerns, and highlight the need to continue to explore the influence of cumulative trauma on neuropsychological function.

▼ Research has shown that the experience of a meaningful life for adolescents is an aid in development and related to psychological health, physical health, and academic functioning (e.g., Brassai, Piko, & Steger, 2011; Kiang & Fuligni, 2009). Most meaning research to date, however, has primarily focused on adulthood, with few studies that focus on meaning in adolescence. Even fewer studies have addressed barriers or facilitators to experiencing meaning in adolescence. The current study seeks to address this gap in the literature with a sample of adolescents (n=145). In the first part of the study, bullying perpetration and victimization are examined as factors that may be associated with less meaning (i.e., inversely related). In the second part of the study, two Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) related variables, mindfulness and self-compassion, are examined as factors positively related to meaning. A hierarchical regression was then performed to determine if these variables predicted meaning. Results revealed that meaning was inversely related to bullying perpetration, but not bullying victimization, and positively related to mindfulness and self-compassion. Controlling for all other factors, self-compassion independently predicted meaning, which suggests that self-compassion may be highly relevant to an adolescent's development of meaning. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.

▼ Few studies have examined how youth think about, and take action on climate change and far fewer have sought to facilitate their engagement using participatory methods. This dissertation evaluated the impacts of Science, Camera, Action! (SCA), a novel after-school program that combined climate change education with participatory action through photovoice. The specific aims of this study were to: (1) Evaluate the impacts of SCA on youth participants' climate change knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; (2) Examine how SCA participation served to empower youth agency; and (3) Explore SCA's influence on youths' science engagement. Participants were 55 youths (ages 10 to 12) across three Boys and Girls Club sites in Northern
Colorado. SCA's Science component used interactive activities to demonstrate the interrelationships between Earth's changing climate, ecosystems, and sustainable actions within communities. Photovoice, SCA's Camera component, was used to explore youths' climate change perspectives and to identify opportunities for their active engagement. Finally, SCA's Action component aimed to cultivate youth potential as agents of change in their families and communities through the development and implementation of youth-led action projects. Action projects included local policy advocacy, a tree-planting campaign, a photo gallery opening, development of a website, and the establishment of a Boys and Girls Club community garden. To evaluate SCA impacts, a combination of survey and focus group methods were used. Following the program, youth demonstrated increased knowledge of the scientific and social dimensions of the causes and consequences of climate change, as well as its solutions through human action. Though participants expressed a mix of positive (e.g., hope) and negative (e.g., sadness) emotions about climate change, they left the program with an increased sense of respect for nature, an enhanced sense of environmental responsibility, and a greater sense of urgency towards the need for climate change action. Further, participants reported increased engagement in personal pro-environmental behaviors, an enhanced sense of agency in the context of climate change, and provided strong evidence of their role as agents of change in family and community contexts. Through SCA, participants gained a deeper appreciation for science (e.g., in school, careers, and society) and reported increased interest, participation, confidence, and performance in school science. Findings contribute to the vast and growing psychology literature on climate change perceptions and action, and from the understudied perspective of youth. Through a combination of innovative methods and interactive projects, the youth in this study gained a number of psychosocial and educational benefits, while tangibly contributing to the sustainable transformation of their families and communities. Findings of this dissertation have implications for educational programs, youth organizing, and interventions aimed to strengthen youths' active engagement…
