M.A. (Psychology)

The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between personality and risk taking behaviour in the South African context. Personality was measured with the Basic Traits Inventory (BTl), an assessment specifically developed to measure the broad dimensions of the five factor model of personality (John & Srivastava, 1999) in South Africa. The five dimensions on the BTl have the same names as the well-known five factor model, namely: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the underlying personality structure across ten different forms of risk-related behaviour. The risk behaviours included smoking, alcohol consumption,.illegal drug use, sexual promiscuity, thrill-seeking activities, gambling, physical violence, romantic infidelity and other behaviours that may have led to a respondent being arrested. Given South Africa's unique population, a further objective ofthis study was to examine the degree to which the results from the study would be in line with those reported in so-called Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. The sample consisted of 683 respondents, all second-year students from a bilingual (Afrikaans and English) university in Johannesburg. There were 142 men and 538 women in the sample. Three of the respondents' gender was unknown. There were 425 White respondents, 120 Black respondents, 83 Indian respondents, 46 Coloured respondents and nine respondents who did not specify any population group. Respondents' mean age was 20.99 years with a standard deviation of5.10 years. The sample was not representative ofthe South African population, with men being underrepresented and White respondents overrepresented in comparison to other population groups. A multivariate technique, Descriptive Discriminant Analysis, was used to analyse personality differences across groups. The groups were formed based on the frequency with which individuals engaged in the different risk-behaviours. Post-hocanalyses allowed for a close rexamination of group differences. The results revealed that a single, statistically significant discriminant functionemergedfor all ten of the risk variables with the exceptionof one, for whichtwo possible discriminant functions were identified. This showed that different combinations of the five personality factors were, to some extent, able to account for group separation on each of the risk variables. Considering the results as a whole, some interesting findings were revealed: It became evident that no single personality structureexists across the different risk-variables of this study. It was clear that some personality factors were more important, whereas others were less important, depending on the type of risk-behaviour being considered. Despite these seeming differences, important patterns of personality emergedacross the risk-variables. Conscientiousness, and in particular, Extraversion were identified as the most…

This study investigated the effects of haptic training of scanning strategies on attenuating impulsivity. Four major hypotheses were offered. H1: Ss trained in haptic differentiation scanning strategies will show greater impulsivity attenuation than ~s trained in haptic match-to-sample scanning strategies. H2: Ss identified prior to reflectivity training as internals on locus of control will show greater impulsivity attenuation than 5s identified as externals. H3: Locus of control is a function of cognitive tempo. Attenuation in impulsivity will result in a more internal locus of control. H4: Risk taking is a function of cognitive tempo. Attenuation in impulsivity will result in lower risk taking scores. Seventy-five fifth-grade boys and girls were randomly assigned to one of 3 treatment groups. Groups DIFF and SAME were trained with discrimination tasks involving stimuli in the form of wooden geometric blocks. Only tactual manipulation of the stimuli was permitted. Group DIFF's task entailed identifying the one block from among 6 alternatives that was different from a standard block. Group SAME's task consisted of finding the one alternative out of 6 blocks that exactly matched the standard. The control group (Group CTRL) underwent no training. All Ss were administered a computer-adapted version of Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test (a 12-item visual match-to-sample test), an investigator-constructed risk taking task (a computer operated, video arcade game involving pure chance), and two locus of control scales (Nowicki-Strickland LOC Scale for Children and Reid-Ware Three Factor Internal-External Scale). Results indicated that haptic training successfully attenuated impulsivity for Group DIFF, as measured by Salkind and Wright's Impulsivity Style index. Performance for Group DIFF was statistically different than groups SAME and CTRL (p < .01), as predicted by H1. The data did not support H2. Impulsivity attenuation was not differentially induced according to locus of control. Furthermore, locus of control was not found to be correlated with cognitive tempo. H3 and H4 were not confirmed. No effect was observed on either locus of control or risk taking as a result of impulsivity attenuation. Risk taking, however, was found to be positively correlated with Impulsivity Style (r = .246) and negatively correlated with Reid-Ware's Social Systems Control factor (r = -.305). A psychometric problem related to Kagan's MFFT distractor variants was also observed.

▼ Risk taking underlies many health problems that contribute to the public health burden during the adolescent period. Recent advances in developmental neuroscience have identified key neurobiological underpinnings of adolescent risk taking, but there is little understanding of how these neural processes interact with social processes in order to promote or prevent risk taking. In this dissertation, I use a multi-method, longitudinal program of research, including daily diaries, experimental tasks, and neuroimaging, to examine the mechanisms by which a culturally meaningful type of family relationship - familism - buffers Mexican youth from drug use and risk taking. Familism is a fundamental aspect of family life, which implies children's role in the support and assistance of their family. Results of Study 1 suggest that family obligation values are protective, relating to dampened substance use, largely due to the links with decreased association with deviant peers and increased disclosure to parents. In contrast, family assistance behaviors are a source of risk within high parent-child conflict homes, relating to higher levels of substance use. In study 2, I examine whether familism is protective by influencing neural regions involved in reward processing and cognitive control, neural processes implicated in adolescent risk taking. Results indicate that family obligation values are associated with reduced ventral striatum (VS) activation when receiving monetary rewards and increased prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation when inhibiting behavioral responses. Reduced VS activation correlates with less real-life risk taking behavior and enhanced PFC activation correlates with better decision-making skills. Thus, family obligation may decrease reward sensitivity and enhance cognitive control, thereby reducing adolescent risk taking. In Study 3, I examine whether the meaningful and rewarding nature of family assistance may be an asset for adolescents. Results show that enhanced VS activation when contributing to the family predicts decreases in adolescents' risk taking behavior over the next year. Thus, family relationships that are personally meaningful can provide adolescents with a sense of reward, and this reward may lead to positive, healthy outcomes. Results of this dissertation indicate that traditional family values and practices play a critical role in shaping Mexican adolescents' risk for substance use and risk taking.

▼ The present increasing need for the development of empirical hypotheses that explain the decisionmakers' behavior towards risk is to provide an understanding of the framework within which an industry operates. Such hypotheses could facilitate the implementation of policies designed to solve problems identified within an industry and could also provide some useful tools to be used for the necessary supply adjustments. Investigation of the factors that have been important in influencing risk attitudes among grass producers in Oregon's Willamette Valley is the object of this research. Educational level and age are hypothesized and empirically tested to have significant effects on farmers' risk preferences. Other factors like percentages of land under control and farm debt are also considered to be of equal importance. The interaction of the mentioned variables among themselves could, possibly, affect producers' risk behavior. Identification of factors exerting significant effects on risk aversion, measured by Pratt coefficient, was attained through using a single equation linear regression model. Individuals with less education are found to be more averters to risk than others with higher educational levels. Increased land ownership is associated with increased aversion to take risk for highly educated producers while it increases risk taking for less educated ones. Age and percent of farm debt are determined to be directly and inversely related to risk aversion, respectively. The interaction of education with percent land ownership and age significantly increased and decreased aversion to risk respectively. The inclusion of binary variables for risk neutrality and risk taking together with their interactions with the other variables resulted in different effects exerted by education and percent land ownership for risk neutral individuals. No significant differences were found to exist between the behavior of risk takers compared to risk averters, however. Advisors/Committee Members: Whittaker, James K. (advisor), Conklin, Frank S. (committee member).

Psychology

Relatively little is known about the manifestation of conduct disorder among girls versus boys, despite increasing rates among girls. Moreover, it has been well-established that adolescent conduct disorder is correlated with other problem behaviors (e.g., substance use, status offenses, and risky sexual behaviors), and there is evidence that there are differences by sex and ethnicity in the likelihood of exhibiting specific patterns of these problem behaviors. It has been suggested that a dimensional approach may provide a more accurate conceptualization of adolescent externalizing behaviors, particularly among girls. To address these issues, this study used a nationally representative sample to examine patterns of adolescent problem behaviors across sex and ethnicity. Latent class analysis was used to determine classes of problem behaviors and to model differences in class membership by sex and ethnicity. Behaviors examined included violent and non-violent criminal behavior, drug and alcohol use, risky sexual activity, and status offenses. A model with five latent classes of problem behaviors provided the best representation of the data. One class represented high levels of problem behaviors, one represented low levels of problem behaviors, and three classes represented high levels of specific problem behaviors. These classes were characterized respectively by (a) high levels of criminal activity, (b) high levels of substance use, and (c) high levels of risky sexual activity. Differences existed in the likelihood of belonging to each class, such that boys were more likely to belong to the "high problem behavior," "criminal activity," and "risky sexual activity" classes. Girls were more likely to belong to the "substance use" and "low problem behavior" classes. These results suggest that a broader definition of externalizing behavior may more accurately capture adolescent behavior patterns, particularly among girls. Implications of findings and direction for future research are discussed.

▼ The purpose of this case study was to evaluate change in five high-risk behaviors among three demographic groups of first-year college students. The study utilized the CIRP and YFCY surveys to gain pre- and post-measurements of behavior for smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, drinking wine or liquor, feeling depressed, and feeling overwhelmed. This quantitative study measured the change in high-risk behaviors in one cohort of students at a moderately selective Midwestern, four-year public, Masters I University using previously collected, archival data. The independent variables were gender, first-generation status, and admission index. Data were analyzed using the following statistical analysis procedures: descriptive statistic analysis, independent t-tests, multivariate analysis of variance, and discriminant function analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to determine change in high-risk behavior from the beginning of the fall semester (CIRP) to the end of the first year (YFCY). All high-risk behaviors increased during the first-year of college for all independent variables. Independent t-Tests were utilized to evaluate significances among independent variables. A MANOVA was used to evaluate variance among and between independent variables. Significant differences were noted for several combinations of independent variables and high-risk behaviors. However, the measures of power and variance indicated low practicability of data. The discriminant analysis predicted membership using cigarette smoking as the high-risk variable. While the statistical significance was low, important realizations were noted. This research indicates that high-risk behaviors do increase during the first year of college for most students. However, these behaviors were present during the final year of high school. This understanding changes the dialogue of administrators who are charged with designing programs and services to acculturate students to campus life. It is not practical to prevent high-risk behaviors during the first year of college, rather the dialogue consider impacting previously existing behaviors.
