Are Honest People More Rational? Associations Between Personality and Decision-Making

Creator:: Hirsch, Lauren A., Ceschi, Andrea, Sartori, Riccardo, and Weller, Joshua
Abstract:: The HEXACO personality framework is an emerging perspective to explain the phenotypic structure of personality, and is believed to replicate across natural language lexical studies better than the Five-Factor Model. Although similar to the “Big Five,” the primary difference between the two structural models is the recovery of the Honesty-Humility...

Associations Between Parenting Practices and Decision-Making Competence inEmerging Adults: A Prospective Study

Creator:: Michaels, Linsie
Abstract:: Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development of decision-making competence (DMC), a...

Personality Predictors of Distracted Driving

Creator:: Sween, Madison, Weller, Joshua, Ceschi, Andrea, Sartori, Riccardo, and Tommasi, Francesco
Abstract:: Objective: Cell phone use while driving (CPUWD) is an increasingly predominant form of distracted driving. Given the widespread prevalence of CPUWD, it is important for researchers to identify who is more likely to engage in this risky behavior. Prior research has focused largely on adolescent and young adult populations, and...

Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

Creator:: Brunot, Alexander N.
Abstract:: The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...

Decision-making competence predicts domain-specific risk attitudes

Creator:: Weller, Joshua A., Ceschi, Andrea, and Randolph, Caleb
Abstract:: Decision-making competence (DMC) reflects individual differences in rational responding across several classic behavioral decision-making tasks. Although it has been associated with real-world risk behavior, less is known about the degree to which DMC contributes to specific components of risk attitudes. Utilizing a psychological risk-return framework, we examined the associations between...

Greater decision-making competence is associated with greater expected-value sensitivity, but not overall risk taking: an examination of concurrent validity

Creator:: Parker, Andrew M. and Weller, Joshua A.
Abstract:: Decision-making competence reflects individual differences in the susceptibility to committing decision-making errors, measured using tasks common from behavioral decision research (e.g., framing effects, under/overconfidence, following decision rules). Prior research demonstrates that those with higher decision-making competence report lower incidence of health-risking and antisocial behaviors, but there has been less focus...

Development of a Boiling Surface Effectiveness Parameter by Modeling and Quantifying the Net Coolant Flow Rate

Creator:: Harrison, Matt
Abstract:: Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...

Thermal and Aerodynamic Effects of Surface Roughness Patterns on Additive Manufactured Heat Sinks

Creator:: Lundeen, Samuel L.
Abstract:: Breakthroughs in heat sink design are now limited by conventional manufacturing techniques which can only produce basic fin shapes with homogenous surface structuring. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potential disruptive technology for heat sink design and other convective heat transfer solutions, as surface properties can be directionally varied to maximize...

Substitution Effects on the Structure and Electronic Behavior of Ternary Precious Metal Oxides

Creator:: Flynn, Joshua
Abstract:: Due to the high cost of precursor materials, complex oxides of 4d and 5d transition metals are under-studied compared to their 3d counterparts. Recent studies have shown that oxides containing heavier transition metals can exhibit exotic electronic states due to presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. The goal of this dissertation...
