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…

▼ 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.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although young people’s sexual-risk behaviour raises public health concerns in Ghana, there is, however, little theory-guided research investigating this health problem empirically. This study tested the theory of planned behaviour’s (TPB) efficacy to explain intended condom use and self-reported condom use, using latent variable structural equation modelling. Public senior high school students (N = 684) aged 14-20 years from eastern Ghana completed measures based on the TPB’s components across three measurement occasions, spaced approximately three months apart. Consistent with the TPB, latent variable structural equation models showed that attitudes were positively associated with intended condom use over time. Subjective norms and perceived behavioural control were, however, not statistically significantly associated with intended condom use over time. Moreover, intended condom use was not significantly associated with self-reported condom use behaviour over time. Other analyses revealed that gender moderated the TPB components. These results highlight the importance of focusing adolescent sexual risk reduction programmes on intra-individual attitude formation and activation. The current data partially validate the TPB as a fairly robust model to guide the design of adolescent sex education programmes in eastern Ghana. The practical, theoretical, and the methodological implications of these results are discussed.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alhoewel jongmense se seksuele risikogedrag besorgdheid oor openbare gesondheid in Ghana laat ontstaan, is daar min teoriegebaseerde navorsing wat hierdie gesondheidsprobleem empiries ondersoek. Hierdie navorsing het die doeltreffendheid van die teorie van beplande gedrag (TBG) getoets ten einde voorgenome kondoomgebruik en selfgerapporteerde kondoomgebruik met behulp van strukturele vergelykingsmodellering met latente veranderlikes te verduidelik. Hoërskoolleerders aan staatskole (N = 684) in die ouderdomsgroep 14-20 jaar uit die suidelike deel van Ghana het meetinstrumente met tussenposes van ongeveer drie maande en gebaseer op die komponente van TBG oor drie metingsgeleenthede heen voltooi. In ooreenstemming met die TBG het strukturele vergelykingsmodelle met latente veranderlikes getoon dat gesindhede mettertyd ŉ positiewe verband met voorgenome kondoomgebruik getoon het. Subjektiewe norme en waargenome gedragsbeheer is egter ná verloop van tyd nie statisties beduidend met voorgenome kondoomgebruik verbind nie. Daarbenewens is voorgenome kondoomgebruik nie gaandeweg met beduidende self-gerapporteerde gedrag rakende kondoomgebruik verbind nie. Ander analises het aan die lig gebring dat geslag die TBG-komponente gunstig beïnvloed het. Hierdie resultate beklemtoon die belang daarvan om op programme met betrekking tot adolessente se seksuele risiko ten opsigte van die vorming van intra-individuele gesindhede en aktivering te konsentreer. Die huidige data bevestig gedeeltelik die TBG as ’n redelik robuuste model as gids by die ontwerp van…

▼ When a choice model fails, the standard economics exercise is to weaken one assumption at a time to study what has changed. This is often accompanied by the understanding that future work will relax multiple assumptions simultaneously in order to explain actual behavior. This dissertation does exactly that, and by studying seemingly independent behavioral anomalies as related to one another we obtain new insights about why behavior departs from standard models. Chapter 1 studies how violations of structural assumptions like expected utility and exponential discounting can be connected to reference dependent preferences with set-dependent reference points, even if behavior conforms with these assumptions when the reference is fixed. This is done with the introduction of a unified framework under which both general rationality (WARP) and domain-specific structural postulates (e.g., Independence for risk preference, Stationarity for time preference) are jointly relaxed using a systematic reference dependence approach. The framework allows us to study risk, time, and social preferences collectively, where behavioral departures from WARP and structural postulates are explained by a common source—changing preferences due to reference dependence. In our setting, reference points are given by a linear order that captures the relevance of each alternative in becoming the reference point and affecting preferences. In turn, they determine the domain-specific preference parameters for the underlying choice problem (e.g., utility functions for risk, discount factors for time). Chapter 2, a joint work with Silvio Ravaioli, conducts an empirical test for one of the models in Chapter 1. It studies how the introduction of a very safe or very risky option affects risk attitude. In a laboratory experiment, we find that adding safer options increases displayed risk aversion, and it does so even when the added options are not chosen. This finding is robust across participants and treatments (e.g., degenerate and non-degenerate safe options). By contrast, we find that the addition of risky options does not result in a detectable change in risk attitude. Our results are in line with Chapter 1’s Avoidable Risk Expected Utility model. Chapter 3 studies choices over time, which allows us to study anomalies “at a given time” and “across time” as related to one another. This is achieved by studying how past choices affect future choices in the framework of attention. Limited attention has been proposed as an explanation for the failure of “rationality”, where better options are not chosen because the decision maker has failed to consider them. We investigate this idea in a setting where (1) the observable are sequences of choices and (2) the decision makers are aware of the alternatives they chose in the past when they face future choice sets. This provides a link between two kinds of rationality violations: those that occur in a cross section of one-shot decisions and those that occur within a sequence of realized choices. Unlike the…

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.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Kinesiology 2016

Sport-related concussion (SRC) has recently become a public health concern that has garnered much national attention. One strategy to protect against negative consequences is to prevent SRC from occurring by investigating injury risk factors. Although many potential risk factors have been studied, there is minimal evidence on how SRC occurrence relates to intrinsic psychological variables. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in risk-taking behaviors, sensation seeking needs, mood states, and personality traits between collegiate student-athletes with and without a history of SRC (i.e. 0, 1, 2+). A secondary aim of this study was determine if any of the psychological variables predicted a history of SRC in collegiate student-athletes. DESIGN: cross-sectional quantitative study. SUBJECTS: 1,252 male (n=706) and female (n=546) collegiate student-athletes from 4 different institutions, 3 different NCAA divisions, and 18 different sports. The SRC independent variable groups were as followed: 938 (74.9%) participants with no previous history of SRC, 205 (16.4%) participants who had sustained one previous SRC, and 109 (8.7%) participants who had sustained two or more previous SRCs. MEASUREMENTS: A one-time survey acquired data on demographic information, previous SRC history, and psychological variables (i.e. Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, Brunel Mood Scale, Big Five Personality Inventory). RESULTS: Significant differences were found between previous SRC groups for attention impulsivity [F(1,226)=7.35,p=0.00], motor impulsivity [F(1,226)=6.97,p=0.00], and total risk-taking impulsivity [F(1,227)=7.15,p=0.00] variables. Attention, motor, and total risk-taking impulsivity were significantly higher for the 2+ SRC compared to the 0 SRC group [Attention: Mean Difference (MD)=0.24,p=0.00,d=0.42; Motor: MD=0.23,p=0.00,d=0.41; Total: MD=0.18,p=0.00,d=0.41] and the 1 SRC group [Attention: MD=0.18,p=0.02,d=0.31; Motor: MD=0.20,p=0.01,d=0.35; Total: MD=0.15,p=0.02,d=0.33]. Significant differences between previous SRC groups for the boredom susceptibility [F(1,207)=3.15,p=0.04], adventure seeking [F(1,208)=5.18,p=0.01], and total sensation seeking [F(1,214)=4.53,p=0.01] variables were also identified. Adventure seeking scores were significantly higher for the 1 SRC group compared to the 0 SRC group (MD=0.22,p=0.02, d=0.20), while the total sensation seeking score was significantly higher for the 2+ SRC group compared to the 0 SRC group (MD=0.19,p=0.03,d=0.25). Attention risk-taking impulsivity was identified as a significant predictor of 2+ previous SRCs and adventure seeking as a significant predictor of 1 previous SRCs. No significant mood state or personality trait differences between SRC groups were found. CONCLUSION: While mood and personality do not appear to differ based upon SRC history for this study, total risk-taking and sensation seeking scores were higher in collegiate student-athletes with a history…

Young adults aged 18-24 account for a disproportionate number of motor vehicle accidents, yet the factors that contribute to increased crash risk are not often studied in this age group. Retrospective studies of crashes have found that risky driving behavior contributes to a large percentage of crashes, and certain risky behaviors have been found to differentiate the driving behavior of young adults from those who are 25 and above. Measures of risky decision making have been found to predict other types of risk taking behavior, such as drug use and risky sexual behavior. However, few studies have related this construct directly to driving behaviors in young adults. Similarly, executive functioning has been hypothesized be involved in crash and increased driving errors in this age group, yet reliance on retrospective studies of crash has prevented driving research from relating executive functions to driving behavior. The present study sought to remedy these gaps in the literature by investigating the relationship between decision making, executive functioning, and performance on a risky driving task. Forty-nine young adults completed a measure of general risky decision making propensity and neuropsychological testing of executive functions. They then completed a baseline drive and a challenging simulated driving task, the Risky Driving Task, in which they had the choice to compromise their driving behavior in order to receive a reward. Results of a global measure of driving behavior showed participants’ driving was riskier in the Risky Driving Task than in the baseline drive. Specifically, participants drove faster in the Risky Driving Task. When risky decision making and executive functioning correlates of risky driving behaviors in the Risky Driving Task were examined, greater risky decision making propensity predicted higher speeds in a curved residential segment. Executive functioning measures were not predictive of risky driving behaviors. Results are considered within the context of both transportation and developmental neuroscience literature on risk taking behavior in young adults.

D.Litt. et Phil. (Sociology)

Inquiry that seeks to understand young people’s engagement in risk behaviours is numerous. Concern for and interest in young people has stimulated a wide range of debates about what makes young people do the things they do. Despite the plethora of research in this area there are still gaps in our knowledge, primarily because much of the research has sought to understand young people by looking at their decision making from the outside. This study departs from what has gone before by applying a youth development approach to understanding youth risk. In order to do so it sought to delve into the worlds and lives of a few young people living in an informal settlement in Gauteng, South Africa. The key question that the study poses pertains to how young people understand and negotiate risk as an aspect of their everyday identity-work. It is thus important to note that youth in this study is not understood simply as a particular age range or a phase that exists between childhood and adulthood. Rather it is understood as a life stage that carries with it particular experiences, needs and processes. In particular for the purposes of this study identity-work is understood to be an intensive process during the life stage of youth that involves drawing on culturally and socially available labels (McCall, 2003), definitions and markers of identity and testing them in their social networks in a process of reflexivity towards developing a self-identity (Giddens, 1991). In order to generate a deep understanding of the lives and worlds of young people, this study employed a critical ethnographic design, combining the usual methods of ethnography such as observation and interviews, with innovative methods that sought to challenge commonly held perceptions of research that young people might have had, and to encourage them to participate in the research. The study found that risk is understood in multiple ways. Young people understand and internalise the risk prevention messaging that is often targeted at them but they also have other perceptions of risk that ‘experts’ tend to overlook. Most important of these were their perceptions of risk that were influenced by their socio-economic surroundings – risks that were foremost in their lives because of their day-to-day struggles to manage them. The study also demonstrates the ways in which risk is negotiated as a feature of identity-work in three ways – in identity-work that has to do with masculinity and femininity, in identity-work pertaining to who one is within a family, and in identity work that involves their roles in the community. One of the main recommendations arising from this research is the need for integrated interventions that combine the prevention models that are currently employed, with locally specific interventions aimed at enhancing the protection and preparedness of young people in order to reduce their vulnerability. By conceptualising young people and the phase of ‘youth’ differently, and applying a youth development approach to…

▼ Although many studies have found that arrested youth are more likely than non-arrested youth to experience later maladjustment, methodological limitations restrict the generalizations of prior work. Perhaps the most noteworthy limitation in prior work is the possibility of selection effects, with arrested youth likely to have very different psychological and behavioral profiles pre-justice system contact than non-arrested youth. This leaves us wondering whether the observed maladjustment is due to the type of adolescent who comes to the attention of law enforcement or due the type of justice system interventions that arrested youth experience.This study overcomes these limitations by comparing the outcomes of demographically similar male adolescents who have committed the same crimes but who differ with regard to whether they were "caught" for their crimes. Using propensity score matching to compare arrested and non-arrested youth, I investigated whether contact with the justice system does, in fact, contribute to school-related outcomes, substance use, and delinquency and whether these relations vary based on whether arrested youth are formally processed or diverted from the system.When selection effects are taken into consideration, results indicate that contact with the juvenile justice system does not have a universally harmful effect on development. Diversion (informally processing youth) actually deters future offending, school misconduct, school truancy, and school suspensions. However, both diverted and formally processed youth, regardless of their actual antisocial and illegal behavior, are more likely than no-contact youth to be arrested during the study period, according to official court records. The risk of re-arrest is highest for formally processed youth. Formally processed youth are also more likely than no-contact and diverted youth to be transferred to an alternative or continuation school.Taken together, results suggest that increased justice system surveillance might improve school performance and deter offending, but it also might lead to more contact with the system. Although an adolescent's first arrest might lead to positive outcomes in the immediate future, the effects of subsequent contacts are unknown. As such, the data suggest that the default policy should be to divert low-level first-time offenders and keep the justice system's involvement to a minimum.

▼ Social media use is extremely prevalent among adolescents, leading to continued public interest in its effects on social interaction. Understanding the neural underpinnings of social media use will allow researchers to better understand these effects; but the literature on social media and the brain is, at present, remarkably limited. This dissertation examined a unique feature of digital interaction- “Quantifiable Social Endorsement” - and demonstrated that this indicator of peer opinion significantly influences both neural and behavioral responses to content posted online. In Study 1, adolescents underwent an fMRI scan while using a tool that mimics Instagram, a popular photo-sharing social media platform. Participants viewed photos that had been ostensibly “Liked” by peers. In reality, the number of Likes was experimentally manipulated such that half of the photos appeared with many Likes (‘popular’) and half with few Likes (‘unpopular’). Included among these photos were images submitted by the participants from their own Instagram accounts and images depicting risky behaviors (e.g., drinking alcohol, smoking). Participants demonstrated significantly different behavioral and neural responses as a function of photo popularity. Participants were more likely to Like photographs if they were popular than unpopular, and popular photos elicited significantly greater activity in neural regions implicated in reward processing, social cognition, and visual attention. Behavioral effects were significantly stronger for participants’ own photographs than for photographs ostensibly supplied by peers, and participants showed significantly greater activity in the nucleus accumbens - a hub of the brain’s reward circuitry - for the popular > unpopular contrast when viewing their own photographs compared to others’ photographs.Study 2 replicated and extended the findings of Study 1 in an expanded sample that additionally included 27 college students. Like the high-school students, college students also were significantly more likely to Like popular than unpopular photographs, and popular photographs elicited significantly greater activity in brain regions involved in social cognition, visual attention, and reward. When high-school students, but not college students, viewed risky (vs. non-risky) photographs, activation in the cognitive control network decreased. For high-school students, nucleus accumbens response to social reward (i.e., receiving many Likes on one’s own photographs) increased with age.The findings reported in this dissertation suggest that Quantifiable Social Endorsement is a means by which peer socialization and influence occurs in online environments, including to behaviors like drinking and drug use, which represent a significant public health concern in adolescence. Furthermore, social media provide a unique opportunity to examine the neural correlates of social interaction and peer influence in an ecologically valid manner.
