The main purpose of the study was to investigate how highly educated (university-educated) Taiwanese women acquire, transfer and transform their cultural capital through their middle-class habitus to seek a self-acceptable social position in Finnish society. The study s theoretical frameworks have drawn on Bourdieu s concept of habitus, capital, field, and practice, and incorporate an intersectionality perspective into the data analysis. This study employed a feminist standpoint epistemology in terms of epistemic commitments and used narrative inquiry with thematic analysis as the methodological strategy. Narrative inquiry as a methodological approach was used to elicit the stories of ten Taiwanese women who married Finns and immigrated to Finland. The data were produced through life-story interviews conducted in the women s first language, Chinese or Taiwanese in 2006. The discussion of the findings has been organized according to the three key themes: employability, underemployment, and mothering. The common pattern of downward social mobility for first generation immigrants was found to repeat among these highly educated Taiwanese women, a pattern is not independent of questions of race/ethnicity in the Finnish labor market. Despite the weak link between cultural capital and employment outcomes, many of them have had no choice but to stay optimistic by improving their never-good-enough Finnish language skills and acquiring more education or training. Some of the women have turned to care work beyond their previous training and formal qualifications; they have made compromises, have retrained and work as practical nurses due to a lack of employment opportunities in their fields. Acculturation and maintaining their heritage within the Finnish context have become problematic for many of the women and their mothering practices. In order to secure and maintain a better position for their children, the women raise their children as Finnish children by distancing themselves from their Taiwanese cultural heritage and espousing Finnishness. Paradoxically, these highly educated Taiwanese women are confined to a marginal position in the Finnish labor market, but on the other hand, middle-class privilege is identified in their mothering practices in terms of parental involvement in their children s education. Their home-based and school-based parental involvement hold the greatest hope for their children s realization of their full potential and ultimately maintaining their status as middle-class members of the dominant group. The stories of these Taiwanese women disclose how the intersections of social class, gender and race/ethnicity (re)produce inequalities in a Finnish context.

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia miten korkeasti koulutetut taiwanilaiset naiset kartuttavat, siirtävät ja muuntavat kulttuurista pääomaansa yhteiskuntaluokkapohjaisen habituksensa kautta, löytääkseen itse hyväksymänsä sosiaalisen paikkansa suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa.

An evaluative study to determine the Impact of Selected Complementary Therapies (Relaxation and Foot Massage) on the Quality of Life of Breast Cancer Patients was carried out at the Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum by Sister Vijaya (Aleyamma Philip) in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Mahatma Gandhi University of Kottayam. The major objectives for the study were the following:- 1. To describe the level of anxiety and depression using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), in patients with breast cancer who are being treated with radiation treatment to chest wall and drainage areas. 2. To describe the quality of life using Quality of Life- Breast Cancer Version (QOL-BC), in patients with breast cancer who are being treated with radiation treatment to chest wall and drainage areas. 3. To prepare and validate the modules on two complementary therapies - Simple Rhythmic Breathing Relaxation (SRBR) and Foot Massage (FM) 4. To evaluate the effect of Simple Rhythmic Breathing Relaxation (SRBR) and Foot Massage (FM) in terms of reduction of HAD Scores (including individual factors) and improvement in QOL-BC Scores (total and various domains and factors) in patients with breast cancer who are being treated with radiation treatment to chest wall and drainage areas. In the present study two different interventional therapies (i) Simple Rhythmic Breathing Relaxation (R Group) and (ii) Foot Massage (FM Group) prepared by the investigator were tried out on Breast Cancer Patients undergoing radiation to the chest wall and drainage areas, to reduce their anxiety and depression as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) of Zigmond and Snaith (1983) and thereby to increase their level of quality of life (QOL) as measured by the Quality of Life- Breast Cancer Version (QOL-BC) of Ferrell, et al (1995).

▼ Traditionally, aggression has been considered an indicator of competitive ability, such that selection in competitive environments should favour aggressive individuals. However, variation in aggression persists in natural populations. An obvious question then becomes: what maintains variation in aggression? Aggression is considered both a plastic trait and a “static” one, as we observe both intra- and inter-individual variation. Plasticity in aggression occurs when individuals modify their behaviour according to the environment, and static differences occur when individuals differ consistently in their aggressive phenotypes across environments. In this thesis, I examined three components – variation in resource availability, variation in the social environment, and differences in aggressive phenotype – and their interactions to understand how variation in aggression persists across generations. The general experimental approach employed aggressive and less-aggressive strains of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) mixed at different ratios and placed in environments of varying resource availability to understand how resource competition and the social environment influence the evolution of aggression. Interestingly, I found that, in a low resource environment, individual survival was greatest for the low-frequency strain, which is expected to lead to the maintenance of aggressive and less-aggressive phenotypes by negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS), in Chapter 1. I then uncovered a novel behavioural mechanism which can drive NFDS through a combination of disruptive selection and social plasticity (Chapter 2). Lastly, I demonstrate how the social environment experienced during periods of food limitation carries over to future environments (Chapter 3). My thesis demonstrates that selection can act on a population of aggressive and less-aggressive phenotypes, such that aggressiveness is not always the most fit phenotype. Further, I show how social plasticity plays a critical role in determining the fitness of individuals, as well as how individuals will behave in the future. Taken together, I provide novel insight into why there is variation in aggression. Advisors/Committee Members: Norris, Ryan (advisor), McAdam, Andrew (advisor).

▼ The study of behavioural variation and covariation has become very popular in the last decade.And yet the evolutionary tools used to understand how selection and genetic and environmentalvariation shape individual difference in behaviours remain underused. In this thesis I seek toadvance the study of animal personality using the tools of multivariate selection analysis,phenotypic plasticity and quantitative genetics.Here I studied multiple behavioural traits in two water strider (Heteroptera:Gerridae)species, Tenagogerris euphrosyne and Gerris gracilicornis, and examined individual variationin behaviour and behavioural plasticity over time and across situations. I also estimatedmultivariate linear and nonlinear sexual selection on behavioural traits and on individualbehavioural plasticity. Under scramble competition, water strider males differed in their sexualbehaviours and their plasticity across social contexts (Chapter 2). The level of age-relatedbehavioural plasticity also varied according to the type of behaviours and rearing environments(Chapter 3). Individual variation in behavioural plasticity over time or across situationssignificantly affected individual fitness (Chapter 2 and 3). However, with the exception ofsame-sex behaviour of males, there was little genetic variation in behavioural plasticity acrossdevelopment conditions (Chapter 4).I then tested the hypotheses that correlated behaviours (i.e. behavioural syndrome)evolve via correlational selection when certain behavioural combinations enjoy greater fitnessthan others. I found that current patterns of correlational selection were not likely to drive ormaintain the observed correlations underpinning the behavioural syndrome (Chapter 5- 7).While much can be learned about behavioural syndromes and variation in behavioursby resolving the basis of behavioural plasticity, a more complete understanding of howbehavioural variation and covariation arise might be provided by focusing on physiological andgenetic mechanisms as well as contemporary patterns of multivariate selection.

▼ According to a narrative-emotion informed approach to psychotherapy, individuals enter psychotherapy when their narratives lack flexibility, emotional coherence and fail to integrate important lived experiences. Effective psychotherapy provides clients with an opportunity to integrate emotionally salient life experiences, as a told story or self narrative that enables new meaning-making and a more adaptive view of self. The Narrative-Emotion Process Coding System Version 2.0 (NEPCS; Angus Narrative-emotion Marker Lab, 2015) is a standardized measure that consists of a set of 10 clinically-derived markers that capture a client's capacity to disclose, emotionally re-experience, and reflect on salient personal stories in videotaped psychotherapy sessions. These 10 markers are classified into three subgroups: Problem (Same Old, Empty, Unstoried Emotion, and Superficial Storytelling), Transition (Reflective, Inchoate, Experiential, and Competing Plotlines Storytelling), and Change Markers (Unexpected Outcome, and Discovery Storytelling). The present study applied the NEPCS Version 2.0 to a sample of clients (N = 6; 36 therapy sessions) engaging in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The NEPCS Version 2.0 was applied to two early, two middle, and two late-stage videotaped therapy sessions for each of the six clients (three recovered, and three unchanged outcome status), who were drawn from a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of CBT and motivational interviewing integrated with CBT for GAD (Westra, Constantino, & Antony, 2016). Multilevel modeling analyses demonstrated significantly higher proportions of Reflective Storytelling (p < .001), Unexpected Outcome Storytelling (p = .023), as well as the Transition (p = .003), and Change (p = .021) markers subgroups, for recovered versus unchanged CBT clients. Additionally, there was a significant stage effect for individual markers, Competing Plotlines Storytelling (p = .006), Unexpected Outcome Storytelling (p < .001; p = .031; p = .036), No Client Marker (p = .014), and for overall Transition (p = .001; p = .034) and Change (p = .001) markers subgroups. Findings will be discussed in the context of current CBT research literature on GAD as well as research examining NEPCS marker patterns in other diagnostic populations, and treatment modalities.

▼ Objective: To assess analgesia of intra-articularly administered opioid morphine and to assess specific pain behavioural parameters in horses with experimentally induced acute synovitis. Study design: double blinded cross-over clinical study Animals: eight warm blood horses (mares) Procedure: Lameness was induced in each horse via injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the tarsocrural joint. One hour after LPS injection the horses were treated with an intra-articular injection of morphine (120 mg diluted with NaCl to a solution of 20 ml) or saline (20 ml) as control. The horses underwent three behavioural tests: human approach test, carrot test and palpation of the painful area test before (baseline) and at 4, 8 and 28 hours after LPS injection. At eight hours after LPS injection the horses underwent a fourth test named novel object test. Video recordings of the basic maintenance behaviour of the horses were made before (baseline) and at 5.15 or 6.5, 12 and 29.15 or 30.5 hours after LPS injection.Data are reported as mean ± SEM and were statistically analyzed using SPSS. Differences were considered significant at P < 0,05. Results: The results of this study showed several significant differences between the morphine group and the control (placebo) group during the behavioural tests and during the behavioural observations in the box. The horses in the morphine group had significant lower average percentages of non-weight bearing on the injected limb with regards to the horses in the control group during the human approach test and the carrot test at 4 and 8 hours and the behavioural observations in the box at 5.0-6.5 and 12 hours after LPS injection. Palpation of the injected limb led to significant lower scores during treatment conditions at the lateral and medial palpation compared to the control group at 4 hours after LPS injection. During the behavioural observations in the box the morphine group had a significant higher average percentage of foraging activity and a lower average percentage lying down at 5.0-6.5 hours after LPS injection. There was a strong trend for the average percentage walk; the horses in the morphine group had higher average percentage walking with regards to the horses in the control group at 12 hours after LPS injection. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: Our results support the practice of intra-articular administration of morphine to reduce pain in horses with acute synovitis. We concluded that intra-articularly administered morphine is a potent analgesic medication for acute synovitis in horses. Furthermore, this study established the value of some specific easy to assess objective behavioural parameters in determining equine acute limb pain in horses. We concluded that decreased foraging activity, increased percentage lying down, non-weight bearing on painful limb and reaction to palpation of the painful area are valuable specific pain behavioural parameters in horses with acute synovitis Advisors/Committee Members: Dierendonck, M. van, Loon, J.P.A.M. van.

▼ A key question in behavioural finance is why prices in financial markets change. The field of behavioural finance evolved in an attempt to understand better and explain how cognitive errors and emotions influence investors' decision-making processes. Behavioural finance is the study of the psychological effects of market events on investors that affect finance decisions. It is not a new field of study, but more emphasis has been placed on this field of finance in the past two decades. Behavioural finance explores the irrational nature of investors' decisions. The primary objective of the research was to provide an understanding of the psychological impact of people on prices in financial markets. The secondary objectives are to provide a brief history of behavioural finance; to show that there are alternatives to the efficient markets theory; and to demonstrate the impact of popular models on prices. The report was compiled based on a literature study on the topic of behavioural finance. The purpose of the literature study was to provide sufficient information to meet the objectives of the study as set out above. The following sources were used: published articles; textbooks; and the Internet. The efficient market hypothesis and the CAPM are challenged by behavioural finance. Prices of speculative assets do not always reflect fundamental values. The perceptions of investors play an important role in the determination of prices. Hence, when there are market crashes on the equities markets, the contagion effect amongst investors should not be underestimated. It is shown in this report that portfolio insurance is an important contributing factor to the magnitude of any crash on equities markets. Dividends are an important determinant for the fundamental value of shares. This contrasts with the revenue model that is used to value new economy shares, such as Internet companies. It is also clear that investors expect to receive a dividend. In this report, various theories strongly suggest investors' preference for dividends. These include the self-control and prospect theories, regret-aversion and the clientele effect. Changes in dividends affect share prices. A decrease in the dividend of a company is a clear signal to investors that the share price is overvalued. Movements in share prices are therefore at least partially the result of changes in dividends. Investment strategies that can be followed by investors include the following: It may help to acquire closed-end fund shares at the listing of a new fund. The research shows that initially closed-end funds trade at a premium of up to ten per cent, but within 180 days, the premium evaporates and the fund starts to trade at a discount. The optimal strategy for sophisticated investors is a strategy that involves market timing with increased exposures to shares that have fallen, and decreased exposure to shares after they have risen in price.

▼ Depression is the second leading cause of disability, worldwide, and increasing access to its effective/preferred treatment requires more attention. Behavioural activation shows promise as an effective and disseminable treatment for depression. Time-intensive treatment provision is also shown to enhance treatment access and response rates, and has proven efficacy in the treatment of anxiety disorders. However, there has been limited exploration of time-intensive behavioural activation for depression, especially within outpatient settings, where depression most commonly presents. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and acceptability of time-intensive behavioural activation in primary care. It was hypothesised that the intervention would be associated with improvements in idiographic, standardised and process measures of depression and comorbid anxiety. Eight adults with major depressive disorder were recruited from three outpatient services into a multiple baseline single-case experimental design. All participants completed time-intensive behavioural activation, consisting of up to seven bi-weekly sessions and three optional booster sessions. Treatment recruitment, retention, and credibility/expectancy indicated that the intervention was feasible. Visual and statistical analyses showed that relative to baseline, the majority of participants (between five and seven) made significant improvements in all idiographic symptoms of depression, except anxiety. According to standardised measures of depression, four out of eight participants were considered treatment responders, with intervention effects mostly generalised to standardised measures of anxiety. Although only five participants completed follow-up measures, the majority of progress was maintained. Process measures of activation and dysfunctional attitudes showed low proportions of change. The intervention was considered highly acceptable by participants and therapists. Overall this study provides new, but tentative evidence highlighting the potential of time-intensive BA as a feasible, effective and acceptable treatment for some adult outpatients with depression. The findings now warrant further, more rigorous evaluation of the treatment.

Studies on behavioural habit open an avenue for research in different fields. It gives a lot of information regarding the living status of the children and also the various types of hazards that affect the school going children. The present study focused on the school going children of Tirunelveli opens a lot of unknown fact to the society. The environmental condition that is prevailed in the school environment is entirely different and a unique one for its own. The study observed a lot of physical, physiological, biochemical disorders among the school children. newlineHealthy society is a wealthy society and children are the important components of the society. The incidence of overweight and obesity among children of Tirunelveli city is (14%) higher than the national average in 2003. The incidence of overweight and obesity are very high among males (14.2%) who are within the age group of 13-17 years. In female the obeic percentage observed was 12.8%. The obeic persons identified in the present study hails from economically sound families, which is a nuclear one in which both the parents are earning members. Both the parents are literate, mostly professionals or business magnets of the town. Since these obeic students hail from rich family they enjoy all sorts of sophistication in home as well as outside and this leads to immobility, resulted in obesity. They consume energy rich, fat rich diet that further aggravates the status of obesity. newlineAnother major cause of obesity is decreased physical activity. Most of the overweight and obese children have sedentary behavior with less physical activity. There is lack of physical activities both in school and within the home environment. Technological advancement has caused this factor together with the security risk that the children are exposed to whenever they are away from home. Walking activity is limited or totally nil and most of the affluent students use vehicle for their mobility.

▼ This study aims to identify the factors that are of influence on parenting stress in parents of autistic children. Previous studies have found that parents of autistic children experience more parenting stress than parents of children without autism or other diagnoses. Parenting stress can result in negative outcomes for the family as stressed parents tend to provide less effective stimulation for the development of the child. Stressed parents also have a higher risk of becoming depressed and having a decreased physical health. The influence of children’s age, parental educational level, the behavioural problems, autistic symptoms of the child and of their parents, on parenting stress were investigated in a group of 39 autistic Dutch children. Children were between the ages of 8 and 17 years old. A control group of non-autistic children (n = 84, Age min = 9, max = 14) was used to examine whether or not parenting stress was higher among the parents of the autistic children. Parenting stress was quantified using the Nijmeegse Ouderlijke Stress Index, behavioural problems with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Autism Quotient-test was used to measure the severity of autistic symptoms in the children and parents. Results indicated that: (1) The parents of the autistic children reported significantly higher levels of parenting stress than the parents of the non-autistic children. (2) Higher levels of education in mothers and more severe autistic symptoms in the autistic children and parents is a significant predictor for the level of parenting stress. (3) Behavioural problems of the autistic children were significantly related to parenting stress. These results confirm previous research, but also shed new light on factors associated with parenting stress in parents of autistic children. This knowledge can be used in psycho-education, prevention and intervention methods for parents of autistic children. Advisors/Committee Members: Zantinge, Gemma (advisor).

▼ Behavioural inhibition is the ability to suppress irrelevant behaviours that are either unsafe or are inappropriate for the task at hand. Neuropsychological studies have linked behavioural inhibition primarily to the actions of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the hippocampus (HPC), as well as several additional regions of the brain. The current investigation addressed the role of the mPFC-hippocampal pathway on behavioural inhibition within the place-preference task. The task required rats to enter and wait for two seconds within a defined region within a circular maze for food reward. Muscimol, a GABA-A agonist, was used to create a transient block of the prelimbic cortex (PL) within the mPFC to examine its effects on both behaviour and on hippocampal electrophysiology. Recording electrodes were surgically implanted into the dorsal and ventral hippocampal CA1. The rationale for this line of inquiry stems from a growing body of research purporting a link between the mPFC and the HPC in terms of theta-coordinated communication between the two regions during mnemonic tasks. When muscimol was infused into the PL, rats had a markedly decreased ability to remain within a circularly-defined goal region for the two-seconds required to obtain a food reward. The question that arose from this finding was whether or not transient lesions to the PFC resulted in the observed behaviour because the PFC was acting through non-hippocampal regions to inhibit animals’ movement within the goal region, or was a signal sent from the mPFC so as to influence the dorsal and/or ventral HPC via their inputs so as to disrupt behaviour through hippocampal mechanisms. To address this query, data was analyzed in two ways. The first method was to look at two second blocks of time that corresponded to only correct responses across trial number, time segment and effect of drug on theta amplitude and frequency. The second method focused on the first one second of entry into the goal region to look at the effects of lesions to the PL for both correct responses and incorrect responses. Contrary to expectations, inhibiting the mPFC with muscimol did not result in significant changes to either the power of theta or the frequency within both the dorsal and ventral CA1 in the first method of analysis. In contrast, ANOVA analyses on the one second blocks of data revealed that a decrease in dorsal CA1 theta frequency was associated with a subsequent incorrect response. Correlating hippocampal theta to behaviour produced mixed results that were inconclusive. The current investigation demonstrates that the PL plays a key role in behavioural inhibition. However, it does not provide conclusive evidence that the HPC has a role in behavioural inhibition, at least with regard to the completion of the goal in the place preference task, if theta is a marker for behavioural inhibition.

▼ Men are less vulnerable to HIV acquisition than women, but have poorer HIV-related outcomes. They access HIV services less often and later, and are more likely to die while on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The adolescent HIV epidemic presents further challenges, and AIDS-related illness is the leading cause of death among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. Such deaths have tripled since 2000, while declining in all other age groups. There is a clear need to better understand health practices for adolescent boys and young men living with HIV, and the processes through which these practices are formed and sustained. This doctorate explores the biosocial lives of adolescent boys and young men living with HIV in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It engaged health-focused life history narratives (n=36), semi-structured interviews (n=32) and analysis of health facility files (n=43), alongside semi-structured interviews with traditional and biomedical health practitioners (n=14). Young male participants were among the first generation to grow up with access to ART and democratic freedoms. In a context where HIV-positivity and men’s inability to fulfil traditional roles are considered signs of social and moral decay, they felt pressure to be ‘good’ HIV-positive patients and respectable young men. As younger children, they performed to norms of HIVpositive patienthood. As they became older, norms of masculinity, including financial achievement, ulwaluko (traditional initiation/circumcision), ‘moral’ behaviour and engaged fatherhood became more important and began to conflict with performances of ‘good’ patienthood. This was most apparent during and following ulwaluko, where societal norms made it difficult to engage with biomedical treatment and care. Despite this, participants and their families demonstrated agency, creativity and resilience in subverting and re-signifying these norms. Participants did not access traditional products or services for HIV-related issues, a finding that deviates from much of the literature. This study suggests that health practices are mediated not only by gender and culture, but also childhood experiences of growing up deeply embedded in the health system, through which participants forged additional health-seeking tools. Findings affirm the syncretic nature of traditional beliefs, documenting the plural and complementary ways that participants engaged with traditional products and services.

▼ The concept of gene-centred evolution and subsequent inclusive fitness theory provided a formal framework in which to study the adaptation of social behaviours. It highlighted the role of relatedness between individuals in mediating both cooperation and conflict. However, social behaviours can be difficult to study, particularly among animals in the wild. Drosophila melanogaster has been studied as a model organism for over a century, and we have a deep understanding of its genetics, development and physiology. Furthermore, its short lifespan, small size and fast reproduction rate make it an ideal laboratory animal. Yet we currently know very little about how relatedness affects social behaviours in this species. In this thesis, I aim to contribute to our knowledge of kin selection and recognition in Drosophila melanogaster, developing its use as a model organism for studying inclusive fitness. In Chapter 2, I examine the role of relatedness on adult sexual behaviours, namely how male-male relatedness mediates sexual harm to females. I distinguish the roles of genetic relatedness and larval social familiarity, and find that familiarity alone is not sufficient and genetic relatedness is required to reduce sexual conflict. However, male intrasexual interactions are important, as in Chapter 3, I find no effect of relatedness when males are presented to the female sequentially rather than simultaneously. In Chapters 4 and 5, I consider the effect of relatedness on larval social behaviours, which have thus far been understudied compared to their adult counterparts. Contrary to predictions from inclusive fitness theory, in Chapter 4 I find that larvae benefit from developing in unrelated, rather than related, groups. This is possibly due to the increased genetic diversity and therefore behavioural diversity in unrelated groups, reducing direct competition. In Chapter 5, I additionally show that larvae prefer to cannibalise unrelated and unfamiliar conspecific victims, which may have strong fitness consequences for both adult and larval behaviour. This thesis provides new evidence that relatedness, over and above social familiarity, mediates both adult and larval behaviours in Drosophila melanogaster, allowing us further to develop this species as a model organism for kin selection.

▼ This thesis examines the effect of pressure on a sample of highly-trained individuals in a simple strategic setting. By modelling the strategic interaction between servers and receivers in professional tennis matches, the main contribution of this research is to present an environment where pressure can be introduced in a practical and reasonable manner. Using this environment, I am able to investigate the effect that pressure has on players' behaviour and its consequences for their payoffs. Thus, the analysis in this thesis is two-fold. The first component of the analysis examines the effect that pressure has on the decision-making ability of players. The second component examines the effect that pressure has on their point outcomes. The results indicate that pressure does have a marked effect on the service decisions of many players in the sample. I find that a significant number of servers have a particular strategy that they choose to play more often under pressure than they do otherwise. I also investigate the effect of pressure on the level of correlation between past and present choices and find similar results. The implication of this is that servers' behaviour changes when they are faced with high pressure situations. Since players are also found to behave in accordance with theoretical predictions in the absence of pressure, this leads to the possibility that players could be performing sub-optimally in such situations. Indeed, the results confirm that pressure has a generally negative effect on servers' chances of winning the point. Interestingly, there is less evidence for a link between the two effects. The correlation between the players whose choices change under pressure and those players whose outcomes are affected is small. This leads me to believe that there is a possibility that either player could benefit from exploiting the sub-optimal choices of the other in high pressure scenarios. These results suggest that the theoretical models that have been previously used to describe the serve-return interaction may be insufficient in the presence of pressure. Consequently, researchers may be led to incorrect predictions about behaviour in high-stakes environments by excluding pressure from their models. Therefore, I also provide some theoretical basis to rationalise the observed results by proposing several approaches to incorporate pressure into existing models.

▼ Psi is the phenomenon of apparently responding to or receiving information by means other than the recognised senses. Psi information may influence human behaviour, without the individual intending this or even being aware of it. This thesis seeks to investigate nonintentional behavioural responses to psi. We present five empirical studies that investigated nonintentional behavioural responses to psi information. In each study, the psi information was hidden from participants, in that the participants neither had sensory access to it, nor did they know that it existed. Two different combinations of psi information and a behavioural response were examined. The first was the influence of hidden psi information on psychological task performance. The second was the influence of covert, remote observation by hidden observers on the social facilitation effect. In all the studies, the effects of individual differences in participants’ personalities were also considered. In Experiment 1 we investigated whether hidden targets influenced participants’ judgements of the lengths of lines. There was no overall psi effect, but we found a replication of a response bias effect and a significant correlation between psi and participants’ extraversion. In Experiment 2 we investigated whether hidden targets influenced participants’ speed on a maths task. There was no overall psi effect and no correlations between personality and psi scores. We reviewed previous research literature on social facilitation from the novel angle of investigating whether being watched can, in and of itself, lead to the social facilitation effect. Experiments 3, 4, and 5 developed the paradigm of testing for a social facilitation effect from remote observation, investigating whether remote observation leads to the same behavioural changes as knowingly being observed by a physically present person. We compared participants’ performance on psychological tasks under different observation conditions: alone, remotely observed by a hidden observer, and observed by a physically present observer. The expected social facilitation effect was not found in these experiments, leading to a series of improvements to the sampling, methodology, and tasks over the course of these experiments. As the social facilitation effect from a physically present observer was not reliably replicated, these experiments were not conclusive tests of whether there is a social facilitation effect from remote observation. However, there was an indication in Experiment 3 that remote observation does not exert a significant behavioural effect. Considered together, our studies explored novel approaches to examining nonintentional behavioural responses to psi. The significant correlation between participants’ extraversion and psi is, to our knowledge, the first time this effect has been found in a nonintentional psi experiment. This, and the replication of the response bias effect, represent important advances in parapsychology. Our experiments are also the first to test the assumption, inherent in…

▼ Afferent somatosensory inputs ascend from the periphery to the cortex carrying information about touch that is critical for planning motor responses. At the cortical level, this information is subject to modulation from its earliest arrival in somatosensory cortex where factors such as task-relevance begin to shape how the sensory signals are processed. The goal of such modulation is largely to facilitate the extraction of relevant sensory information (and suppression of irrelevant signals) early in the processing stream, and these functions are in part carried out by top-down influences from cortical and sub-cortical structures. Efforts to understand the mechanisms contributing to modulation of sensory-specific cortex have revealed that crossmodal signals (i.e. simultaneously presented stimuli from a different modality) can also influence early sensory processing, but the precise nature of this modulation and what may drive it is largely unknown. It is the purpose of this thesis to investigate the modulation of somatosensory cortex, specifically how task-relevant modulation of somatosensory cortex might be influenced by crossmodal (visual) stimuli, and whether specific task requirements have any bearing on SI excitability. The studies comprising this thesis aim to address these gaps in our mechanistic understanding of the networks involved in modulating somatosensory cortex. Studies 1 and 2 employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate how task-relevant visual and vibrotactile stimuli modulate somatosensory cortex and to probe the role of a frontoparietal network in mediating this modulation. Studies 3 and 4 also used EEG to determine how manipulating the relevance of the stimuli affects the modulation of somatosensory event-related potentials (ERPs), and to probe how task-specific sensory-motor requirements mediate excitability in somatosensory cortex as well as frontal and parietal regions. The results of this thesis provide insight into the factors that modulate somatosensory cortex and the role of a fronto-parietal network in subserving these modulations.

▼ Research into discontinuous change patterns across therapeutic treatment has indicated that clients who experience non-linear change patterns (e.g., „depression spikes‟, „transient worsening‟, and „sudden gains‟) have comparatively better outcomes in therapy (Haas, Hill, Lambert & Morrell, 2002; Hayes, Laurenceau, Feldman, Strauss & Cardaciotto, 2007; Illardi & Craighead, 1994; Thompson, Thompson & Gallagher-Thompson, 1995). The focus of the current study is on the discontinuous change patterns that have been identified as sudden gains, where a client shows a large symptom improvement from session to session of therapy (Tang & DeRubeis, 1999). Research into the phenomena of sudden gains has indicated that they are associated with better outcomes within therapy and post therapy; they may help identify clients who will respond favourably to therapy; and that they may provide further clarification around change mechanisms and processes within therapy. The current study had two aims: (1) to investigate the client factors that may predict sudden gains in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for depression; and (2) to investigate the within-therapy factors that may be associated with sudden gains within CBT for depression. Through an overarching depression study at the School of Psychology, Massey University, a final sample of 28 clients experiencing their first episode of Major Depression (MDE) were recruited. They participated in 20 free sessions and two follow-up sessions of CBT for depression. Depression severity was measured at every session using the Beck Depression Inventory – Second Edition (BDI-II). Attributional style was measured at six time points using the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ). Homework was measured at up to 18 time points using the Homework Rating Scale – Second Edition (HRS-II) – Client Version. A longitudinal multi level design method was used to analyse the data. 42.9% (n=12) of the clients experienced a sudden gain and these clients experienced a faster rate of improvement in depression severity across treatment. Clients‟ attributional style at intake moderated the relationship between sudden gains and rates of change in depression severity across treatment. No moderating relationship was found with either initial symptom severity or co-morbid status at intake and sudden gains and improvement in therapy. Within therapy variables such as attributional style change and homework beliefs across therapy did have a moderating effect on the relationship between sudden gains and improvement in depression severity across treatment. Clinical considerations and implications for future research are discussed.
