▼ Sensation seeking is a reward-based personality construct linked to engagement in risky behavior. A neural and conceptual overlap between emotion and reward suggests there is an emotional component to sensation seeking. The current study sought to assess the theorized emotional component of sensation seeking by measuring a distinct pattern of visual cortex activation that accompanies the induction of emotion via visual stimuli. Undergraduate participants were recruited based on a prescreening personality assessment. Thirty-five participants were sorted into groups with either high or low scores on risk seeking (a facet of sensation seeking) and exposed to emotional, sensational, and neutral video stimuli. Participants rated their emotional response and reward valuation following each video. Activation in the primary visual cortex was measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Activation during the sensational conditions was assessed for similarity to the emotional conditions and compared between risk seeking groups. Imaging results revealed no significant differences between conditions or groups. Participant responses to stimuli indicated that individuals high in risk seeking experienced a more positive emotional response to sensational videos than individuals low in risk seeking. Participant responses to stimuli also indicated that individuals high in risk seeking endorsed a stronger approach response to sensational stimuli. The study encountered methodological challenges, which limited its statistical power and ability to measure the hypothesized effects. Stimulus response data, however, provided preliminary support for the role of emotional processes in risky behavior amongst individuals high in sensation seeking. These findings suggest that targeting emotion regulation processes in individuals who are high in sensation seeking may be an effective approach to reducing engagement in risky behavior.

▼ Social anxiety disorder is a prevalent psychiatric condition, especially among adolescents (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 204). Individuals with social interaction anxiety, which pertains to interpersonal exchanges with others, ruminate on perceived failures in past interactions, withdraw from or avoid social encounters, and engage in coping behaviors in response to negative feelings (Clark & Wells, 1995; Hoffman, 2007; Kashdan, 2004; Leary, 2001). While the majority of individuals with social interaction anxiety avoid risky situations, a subset engages in risky behaviors, including more frequent sexual encounters and unprotected sex (Kashdan, Elhai, & Breen, 2008; Kashdan & Hoffman, 2008; Kashdan, McKnight, Richey, & Hoffman, 2009). The personality constructs sensation seeking, emotion dysregulation, and impulsivity predict engagement in risky sexual behavior and have been suggested in previous studies to explain the relation between social interaction anxiety and risky sexual behavior (Arnold, Fletcher, & Farrow, 2002; Gullette & Lyons, 2005, 2006; Hoyle, Fejfar, & Miller, 2000; Kalichman et al., 1994; Kashdan et al., 2008; Kashdan et al., 2009; Kashdan & Hoffman, 2008; Kashdan & McKnight, 2010; Parent & Newman, 1999). Therefore, the present study hypothesized that latent classes of social interaction anxiety and personality traits would be identified that distinguish engagement in risky sexual behaviors. Finite mixture modeling was used to discern latent heterogeneous classes of social interaction anxiety and facets of sensation seeking, emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, behavioral approach, and behavioral inhibition. Risky sexual behaviors were treated as auxiliary variables. Four classes were discerned: two low social interaction anxiety classes distinguished by facets of emotion dysregulation, positive urgency, and negative urgency (Low SIAS High Urgency and Low SIAS Low Urgency) and two high social interaction anxiety classes distinguished by positive urgency, negative urgency, risk seeking, and facets of emotion dysregulation (High SIAS High Urgency and High SIAS Low Urgency). Of importance to this study were the findings that the High SIAS High Urgency class was significantly more likely to engage in all identified risky sexual behaviors than the High SIAS Low Urgency class and that the High SIAS High Urgency class did not significantly differ from the Low SIAS High Urgency and Low SIAS Low Urgency classes in engagement in risky sexual behaviors. This study extends previous findings on the heterogeneity of social interaction anxiety by identifying the effects of social interaction anxiety and personality on engagement in risky sexual behaviors.

▼ College students consume alcohol more frequently than the general population. Further, exercise participation is frequently positively associated with alcohol use among college students. While exercise has been consistently demonstrated to be protective in several domains, findings from the alcohol use literature suggest there may be exercise-specific reasons for alcohol use. Our aim was to develop and add a subscale proposed to be measuring the desire to drink to simulate the natural high achieved through exercise to the existing Drinking motives Questionnaire (DMQ). We hypothesized that exercisers drink to simulate more than low exerciser and non-exercisers. This study surveyed college students (N = 1,040) assessing several facets of alcohol use, including the DMQ and 10 proposed simulation motive items. Factor analysis was used to discern the number of latent constructs in the model. Invariance testing was used to assess differences in the simulation factor across no exercise per week (non-exerciser group), below 150 minutes (low exerciser group), and at least 150 minutes (exerciser group). Results indicated a four-factor model best fit the data. The four factors that emerged were enhancement, coping, and social motives, in addition to the added simulation motive. Invariance testing suggested configural invariance, indicating the structure of the simulation construct is the same across exercise groups. Further invariance testing and post-hoc analyses revealed metric and scalar noninvariance indicating differences in levels of endorsement of the simulation motive items. Findings provide preliminary evidence that college students drink for exercise-specific reasons and that the endorsement of these reasons varies across exercise. A new exercise-specific alcohol use motive could help inform more targeted intervention and prevention efforts. Advisors/Committee Members: Prince, Mark A. (advisor), Conner, Bradley T.

▼ American Indian (AI) adolescents are at increased risk for substance misuse and related problems. AI adolescents initiate consumption earlier compared to non-American Indian (non-AI) adolescents, and are three times more likely to be diagnosed with a substance use disorder than non-AI adolescents. AI families may be more tolerant of substance misuse than non-AI families, and are likely to employ parenting styles which emphasize modeling and the importance of extended family. There is considerable literature on AI substance misuse, but to date no studies have examined simultaneous polysubstance misuse (SPM) within this population. SPM is the ingestion of two or more substances within the same period of time, so that the effects of the substances overlap. The synergistic effects of SPM are related to increasingly problematic outcomes in adolescents, such as increased substance misuse. Based on previous research, 3 hypotheses were offered: (1) that four proposed subscales, Substance Misuse Concern, Substance Misuse Deterrence, Substance Misuse Discussion, and Parental Monitoring, would comprise the latent construct Familial Oversight; (2) that Familial Oversight would significantly negatively predict increased likelihood of SPM endorsement; and (3) that this relation would be significantly moderated by participant's self-identified race, such that, for AI individuals the relation between Familial Oversight and SPM would be stronger than for non-AI individuals. Data were collected from middle and high school students (n = 4661) attending schools on or near AI reservations. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the hypothesized model. Results indicated that modeling Familial Oversight as a unidimensional latent variable resulted in excellent model fit, x2(2) =20.23, p < .05; CFI = 0.994; SRMR = .064; RMSEA = .044 (90% C.I. [.128 - .063]); however, the factor loadings supported a two-factor model. Following modifications, a two-factor model of parenting was created with Parental Monitoring as a separate latent construct and the three remaining factors indicating the latent variable Familial Attitudes on the Misuse of Substances (FAMS); the modified model demonstrated excellent fit, x2(8) =32.87, p < .05; CFI = 0.997; RMSEA = .026 (90% C.I. [.017 - .035]). The two-factor model indicated SPM was negatively associated with Parental Monitoring (b = -0.131, S.E. = 0.033, b = -4.04, p < .001) but not significantly related to FAMS (b = -0.044, S.E. = 0.025, b = -1.79, p = .07). Finally, a multigroup SEM was conducted to test invariance, which demonstrated strong fit, x2(32) = 91.42, p < .05; CFI = 0.980; RMSEA = .028 (90% C.I. [.022 - .035]); however, self-identified racial status did not moderate the relations (p > .05). Though the proposed construct was not successfully indicated, Parental Monitoring demonstrated that parental awareness was important in significantly reducing the risk of SPM. Given AI adolescents' increased risk of negative outcomes, the known relation of AI substance misuse to familial… Advisors/Committee Members: Conner, Bradley T. (advisor), Swaim, Randall C.

▼ Due in part to the obesity epidemic occurring today in the United States, the public discussion of healthy eating has become an emerging social trend (Chaki et al., 2013). Evidence suggests that since the importance of healthy eating has been increasingly emphasized, individuals have become more aware of how their diet impacts their overall health, and many have attempted to adjust their food choices (Bagci Bosi et al., 2007; Nicolosi, 2006). It has been suggested that, for some, healthy eating has been taken to the extreme, resulting in social, physical, and psychological consequences (Chaki et al., 2013). The term Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) was originally developed by Steven Bratman; he conceptualized ON as a way to describe an obsession about proper nutrition and a "fixation" on healthy eating (Bratman & Knight, 2000). Currently, very little is known about ON as a construct, and neither a formal operational definition nor standard diagnostic criteria of ON exist. Although, there are two scales that measure ON (Donini, 2007; Gleaves et al., 2013), neither scale seems to fully capture this phenomenon. This study will attempt to develop a valid and reliable scale, the Orthorexia Nervosa Scale (ONS), to more accurately and fully capture the construct of ON. The first step was the development of the ONS items, which included a thorough review of the literature and consultation with experts in the field. 103 items were retained to form the initial version of the ONS. Using a development sample (n = 712), I conducted a parallel analysis on the items. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was also conducted and items were selected according to their psychometric quality. The EFA revealed a 10-factor structure with 47 items. The second step was conducting a confirmatory factor analysis on the data from a second development sample (n = 397). Analyses indicated a good model fit of the 47-item, 10-factor scale after making model modifications. This measure will be a useful tool in future research and clinical work related to ON. A new, more comprehensive, measure of ON which captures all of its components could lead eventually to improved treatment for these individuals.

▼ Sports-related concussion is a growing public health concern. With 30-50% of concussions remaining undiagnosed for a variety of reasons, it is crucial to identify risk factors and establish appropriate prevention and harm reduction strategies to prevent the risk of multiple concussions. Few studies have investigated personality factors as predictors of concussion and continued participation following an initial injury. However, research has concluded that personality likely plays a role in symptom reporting and post-injury behaviors that may put one at risk of additional injury and premature return to play. Most research on personality and health risk behaviors has focused on substance use, gambling, and criminal behavior, with little research done on personality, risky sports, and injury. The limited work in this area has concluded that the personality construct of sensation seeking is predictive of engagement in sports that have an increased risk for injury, while other constructs like impulsivity, are more predictive of injury once already participating in risky sports. The Big Five factors of personality differentially predict injury during sport such that openness to experience and extraversion predict risk-taking overall, while low levels of neuroticism and low levels of conscientiousness predict risky behavior during sport to different degrees depending on the sport studied. The current study found that sensation seeking dimensions, experience seeking and risk seeking, were positively associated with returning to play more quickly than others in the sample. Further, both of these dimensions were negatively predictive of use of protective behavioral strategies against incurring sports-related concussion. Risk seeking, attentional impulsivity, motor impulsivity, and non-planning impulsivity were found to be positively predictive of likelihood of reporting repeat sports-related concussions. Regarding the Big Five, conscientiousness was associated with taking longer to return to play, more protective behavioral strategy use, and a lower likelihood of reporting more than 1 sports-related concussion. These findings may be used in implementing individualized targeted prevention and intervention efforts for athletes. Future work should investigate the mechanisms underlying these relations, as well as include additional sports-related concussion risk factors. Advisors/Committee Members: Conner, Bradley T.

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Conner, Bradley T.

▼ The topic of calling, the work orientation associated most deeply with a sense of meaningful work (e.g., Bunderson & Thompson, 2009), has received increased interest and research within the last several decades. However, the field is plagued by confusion regarding what the calling concept entails and for whom. This present study addresses these two concerns within a sample (N = 588) of U.S. undergraduate students. First, a two-step cluster analysis method was employed to build upon the only previous typological study of calling (i.e., Hirschi, 2011) with the purpose of better understanding the patterns of vocational identity characteristics for those with a sense of calling. A two-cluster solution was determined which differed significantly on sense of calling; other key differences between the two clusters included the importance placed on work versus religion and the emphasis on self-enhancement and prosocial work values. These two clusters are similar to two of Hirschi's (2011) three calling clusters and the similarities and differences between the two studies findings are discussed. Second, the taxometric method was also used to discern if this lack of consensus and the diverse array of scholarly definitions of calling is reflective of two distinct types of calling within its latent structure. An indicator set was created to fully represent all understandings of the concept of calling using a combination of one dimension representing a "Modern" understanding of calling (i.e., the Calling Scale - Dobrow and Tosti-Kharas, 2011) and three dimensions representing Neo-Classical understandings of calling (i.e., the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire - Dik et al., 2012). This indicator set was then analyzed using three statistically non-redundant taxometric procedures (i.e., MAXEIG, MAMBAC, and L-Mode). These taxometric results strongly support the latent structure of calling as dimensional (i.e., not categorical) and therefore did not support the hypothesis. These findings have important practical implications for causality, labeling, and measurement. While subsequent research is needed, the results of the present study point to the possibility that differences in how individuals define calling are reflective of personal characteristics influencing which aspects of calling are emphasized.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Conner, Bradley T.
