  • The relationships between synchrony, rapport, and small group performance

    Creator:
    Fultz, Amber A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this dissertation was to estimate the extent to which group-level synchrony predicts specific group outcomes. Synchrony is broadly defined as the coordination of biological and behavioral processes during social contact (Feldman, 2017). In this dissertation, biological coordination is defined as, “the spontaneous synchronization of physiological signals (e.g.,...

  • Utilizing a Lab-Based Minority Stress Paradigm for Experimental Research among Sexual and Gender Minority Groups: Application and Considerations

    Creator:
    Fahey, Kalina M. L.
    Abstract:
    Sexual and gender minority (SGM) samples report elevated rates of substance use and substance use disorder compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts across a wide variety of substances (Connolly & Gilchrist, 2020; Krueger et al., 2020; Rice et al., 2019), in part due to the experience of minority stress....

  • Group Rapport and Nonverbal Expressivity

    Creator:
    Fultz, Amber A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis was to assess the relationship between group rapport and nonverbal expressivity using three data sources: self-report, observer ratings, and test data. Assessing these constructs using multiple data sources enabled the construction of multitrait-multimethod matrices. These matrices allowed for a critical evaluation of the convergent and...

  • An inquiry into the import demand for fresh American fruit in Hong Kong

    Creator:
    Johnson, Martin A.
    Abstract:
    West Coast fruit cooperatives working together in joint-venture trading companies may well lower the prices of their fruit for export through economies of scale. However, present and future foreign demand for American fruit may constrain any economies of scale that are realized in joint-venture agreements. The major objective of this...

  • Spinal reflex control in healthy and ACL-injured women during a distracting task

    Creator:
    Perrier, Erica Taylor
    Abstract:
    Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between several risk factors, that can roughly be categorized as anatomic, biomechanical, hormonal, and neuromuscular. Neuromuscular risk factors have recently gained a...

  • An Evaluation of the Search Advocate Program at Oregon State University: Identifying Strengths and Opportunities for Development

    Creator:
    DeFelice, Jessica
    Abstract:
    A commitment to diversity is now quite common in the missions of colleges and universities. One of the primary barriers to hiring a diverse faculty is the role that implicit bias, or the case of identifying flawed ideas as reliable choices systematically, plays in the search and selection process. At...

  • Tissue weighting factors for radiation protection : derivation and parametric analysis

    Creator:
    Makinson, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    Tissue weighting factors, w[subscript T], used to convert equivalent dose to effective dose, account for differences in radiosensitivity of various organs in the human body and allow users to compare individual organ detriment to whole body risk. They are explicitly calculated in ICRP 26, 60, and 103, although the methods...

  • A Bioecological Model of Grief Recovery : Theory and Test of the Model

    Creator:
    Romo, Daniel L.
    Abstract:
    A primary aim of bereavement research is to alleviate suffering and promote well-being at the junction of life and death for the survivor in an attachment relationship. Bereavement research in the last decade has focused primarily on examining grief recovery within the context of intrapersonal processes. This emphasis has often...

  • The Lateralization of Emotional Perception

    Creator:
    Robles, Rafael
    Abstract:
    There is consensus among researchers that some form of hemispheric lateralization exists when perceiving emotions. However, conclusions regarding the exact organization have been inconsistent with some studies supporting an overall right hemisphere lateralization and others suggesting differential lateralization for positively and negatively valenced emotions. The main objective of this study...
