Show moreThis thesis explores different styles of creative nonfiction. I am attempt to examine on a more intimate level the human experience of awkwardness. I hope to catalogue my personal experiences of awkwardness. To accomplish this I explore the notion of awkwardness as a human experience in humorous terms that suggest serious consequences for the weight we tend to put on awkward situations. The overall arc of this collection is meant to fluctuate and retrace itself. I intentionally have multiple essays on similar subjects, such as those about romantic relationships and the dynamics of a mother-daughter relationship, because I want to highlight the complexity of those relationships and examine the so-called awkwardness on different levels.

Abstract/Description
Distress tolerance, defined as an individual difference variable reflecting the differential ability to experience and withstand uncomfortable affective states, is a construct recently hypothesized to be a risk factor for panic and anxiety psychopathology. The present study used a biological challenge procedure to evaluate whether distress tolerance predicts fearful responding beyond the effects of anxiety sensitivity and trait anxiety.

Show moreDistress tolerance, defined as an individual difference variable reflecting the differential ability to experience and withstand uncomfortable affective states, is a construct recently hypothesized to be a risk factor for panic and anxiety psychopathology. The present study used a biological challenge procedure to evaluate whether distress tolerance predicts fearful responding beyond the effects of anxiety sensitivity and trait anxiety. Nonclinical student participants (N=128) with no history of panic attacks or any Axis I condition completed a 35% CO2 challenge. Results suggested that distress tolerance predicted an increase in subjective reactivity to the challenge. However, there was no interaction between distress tolerance and anxiety sensitivity, or body vigilance in predicting fear. These findings add to a small but growing literature suggesting that distress tolerance may play a part in the development of anxiety problems.

More and more, religion scholars question the usefulness of the category of "religion."

Show moreMore and more, religion scholars question the usefulness of the category of "religion." Many reject presumptions that what "religion" signifies is unique, universal, inherently meaningful, and, perhaps more importantly, self-evidently "religious." Scholars have therefore reconceived "religion" as a modern technology fabricated as a private domain intended to contain political dissent. Such arguments, however, depend on a distinction between the religious and the political rather particular to North America. My project, in contrast, aims to explore these categories through a history and ethnography of the lives of contemporary Brazilian evangelical Christians belonging to the International Church of Christ (ICOC). I take issue specifically with the narrowness by which recent arguments have defined "politics," arguing for a more nuanced understanding of what the political is in relation to local forms of religious organization in the Brazilian ICOC.

Show moreThe purpose of this study is to explore the mathematical preference of high school AP Calculus students by examining their tendencies for using differing methods of thought. A student's preferred mode of thinking was measured on a scale ranging from a preference for analytical thought to a preference for visual thought as they completed derivative and antiderivative tasks presented both algebraically and graphically. This relates to previous studies by continuing to analyze the factors that have been found to mediate the students' performance and preference in regards to a variety of calculus tasks. Data was collected by Dr. Erhan Haciomeroglu at the University of Central Florida. Students' preferences were not affected by gender. Students were found to approach graphical and algebraic tasks similarly, without any significant change with regards to derivative or antiderivative nature of the tasks. Highly analytic and highly visual students revealed the same proportion of change in visuality as harmonic students when more difficult calculus tasks were encountered. Thus, a strong preference for visual thinking when completing algebraic tasks was not the determining factor of their preferred method of thinking when approaching graphical tasks.

Application of implicit theory to diet & exercise behavior.
Creator
Cariello, Rachelle., Florida State University
Abstract/Description
Given the high prevalence of obesity in the U.S., it is important to investigate psychological factors that may influence obesity and aid in successful weight loss. Implicit theory, or an individual's beliefs regarding the fixed versus modifiable nature of one's abilities, may play a role in one's success in achieving weight loss.

Show moreGiven the high prevalence of obesity in the U.S., it is important to investigate psychological factors that may influence obesity and aid in successful weight loss. Implicit theory, or an individual's beliefs regarding the fixed versus modifiable nature of one's abilities, may play a role in one's success in achieving weight loss. There are two subdivisions of implicit theory: entity theory and incremental theory. Individuals who are entity theorists believe that their abilities are fixed, unchangeable, and or uncontrollable, while incremental theorists believe their abilities are changeable, malleable, and controllable. The purpose of this study was to measure the implicit theory of participants of a weight loss program and examine the relationship between these attitudes and several variables, including eating behaviors, physical activity, self-esteem, weight loss goals, program attendance, and weight loss. There were no significant associations between implicit theory and the behavioral or treatment outcomes investigated. However, there was a positive correlation between implicit theory and self-esteem, r = 0.211, p < 0.05, suggesting that higher self esteem was associated with incremental beliefs. Although current results failed to support the implicit theory model in relation to weight-related behaviors and outcomes, findings are limited by the paucity of individuals classified as entity theorists in this sample. Further research should explore these relationships among individuals seeking weight loss as well as individuals not participating in weight loss efforts in order to obtain representative samples of entity and incremental theorists.

Show morePrecision cyclotron frequency ratio measurements of single ions in a Penning Trap allow us to determine atomic masses and magnetic moments to high precision. These measurements are then used in the fields of fundamental physics, nuclear physics, and physical chemistry as well as used to determine fundamental constants. In current Penning traps for precision measurement, cyclotron frequencies are measured by exciting the cyclotron motion to a certain radius and then amplifying image currents induced by the ion’s cyclotron or axial motions in a resonant circuit connected to the trap electrodes using a FET or SQUID amplifier. Reducing the ion temperature in a Penning Trap is necessary to reduce relativistic and other systematic shifts of the cyclotron frequency. Laser cooling would allow us to reduce the ion temperature and laser induced fluorescence can be used in ion detection. Limitations of modern lasers and suitable ions for laser cooling allow for only a handful of ions to be laser coolable. In particular, trapped 9Be+ and 24Mg+ ions have suitable cycling transitions (S1/2 – P3/2) with wavelengths that can be produced at reasonable intensity by modern lasers. These ions can be laser cooled to ~ 1 mK (their Doppler limits), much lower than our currently achievable ion temperatures (of order 100 K). Through sympathetic cooling, other ion species can be cooled to mK temperatures as well. In this thesis, I show how an 8.5 T magnetic field affects laser cooling and sympathetic cooling of ions in a Penning Trap, as well as show that the current Florida State University Penning Trap will need to be replaced by a newly designed trap in order to achieve effective cooling via these means.

This paper is an analysis of various efforts to do just that and further posits the potential value of new advances in genetics and chromatin biology towards that purpose. With the advent of high resolution temporal nucleosome mapping techniques developed by the Dennis Laboratory at the Florida State University we now have new tools at our disposal to assay the relationships between species and to potentially help elucidate the origin of the domains.

Show moreOne active area of psycholinguistics research seeks to determine whether language acquisition occurs through domain-specific processes or domain-general processes. In other words, are the cognitive resources dedicated to language learning specific to language, or are they part of a more general learning mechanism? One intriguing strategy for investigating this question is through the comparative use of language and music: each is a complex system in which basic auditory elements are combined in hierarchical sequences governed by abstract rules. To understand either language or music, a person must learn these syntactic rules and generalize them to new situations. This study used an artificial grammar construct to investigate whether people learn and process musical and linguistic syntax similarly, and whether there is a correlation between a person's ability to learn complex grammatical systems in multiple modalities. The effect of previous musical experience on sequence learning was also examined. Results showed virtually no correlation between the three implicit learning tasks, suggesting that there is no domain-general implicit learning ability.

Show moreThe increase of military suicide rates has received substantial attention from scholars over the past few years. Accordingly, this trend has become the object of study for numerous researchers, but gaps exist in evaluating components of the military branches of service (i.e. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps) as separate entities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the core constructs of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (i.e. thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, acquired capability), number of deployments, and sex using a sample of Army personnel (N=1540). Multiple regressions equations were calculated to predict thwarted belongingness (TB) and acquired capability (AC) based on number of deployments and gender, and a logistic regression equation was calculated to predict perceived burdensomeness (PB) based on number of deployments and gender. Gender was found to be predictive of AC and number of deployments was trending. Gender and number of deployments were not predictive of TB and PB. Researchers would benefit from further evaluating these constructs as they relate to an Army population. Furthermore, a longitudinal design to understand in greater depth how these constructs, especially AC, present from pre-deployment to post-deployment should be considered for future endeavors.
