The Role of Faculty Mentors in the Research Training of Counseling Psychology Doctoral Students

This study investigated research mentoring experiences of counseling psychology doctoral students as predictors of students’ research productivity. The authors also assessed the research training environment and research self-efficacy as influences on research productivity. Participants were 194 third- and fourth-year counseling psychology doctoral students. Results indicated that the research training environment predicted students’ research mentoring experiences and their research self-efficacy. Both research mentoring experiences and research self-efficacy mediated the effect of the research training environment on research productivity. Analyses showed no significant differences in these relationships by student gender or scientific stature of training programs. Research training of counseling psychology doctoral students has received increased scrutiny in the last 2 decades. This scrutiny stems, in part, from the observation that few counseling psychologists conduct research after completing their doctoral requirements despite training in a scientist–practitioner model (Brems, Johnson, & Gallucci, 1996). Although research suggests that individual factors, such as personality and interests, play a major role in research attitudes and productivity (e.g., Kahn & Scott, 1997; Krebs, Smither, & Hurley, 1991; Mallinckrodt, Gelso, & Royalty, 1990), theorists have also proposed that the research training environment plays an influential role in shaping counseling psychologists’ perceptions of research (Gelso, 1997).
The consideration of future consequences: Weighing immediate and distant outcomes of behavior.

We propose a new construct called consideration of future consequences (CFC), which is hypothesized to be a stable individual difference in the extent to which people consider distant versus immediate consequences of potential behaviors. Following a description of the construct itself, a measure of this individual difference is developed and validated. Data collected from 7 samples of college students indicates that the measure has acceptable reliability and validity. In addition, evidence of the role of CFC in regulating affective responses to negative events is reviewed. The utility of the CFC construct is demonstrated in 2 studies
AN EXPLORATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDICATORS OF THE COMMUNITY OF INQUIRY FRAMEWORK AND RETENTION IN ONLINE PROGRAMS

As the growth of online programs continues to rapidly accelerate, concern over retention is increasing. Models for understanding student persistence in the face-to-face environment are well established, however, the many of the variables in these constructs are not present in the online environment or they manifest in significantly different ways. With attrition rates significantly higher than in face-to-face programs, the development of models to explain online retention is considered imperative. This study moves in that direction by exploring the relationship between indicators of the Community of Inquiry Framework and student persistence. Analysis of over 28,000 student records and survey data demonstrates a significant amount of variance in re-enrollment can be accounted for by indicators of Social Presence.
Defining phonological awareness and its relationship to early reading.

Phonological awareness (PA) has been operationally defined by many different tasks, and task comparisons have been confounded by differing levels of linguistic complexity among items. A sample of 113 kindergartners and first graders completed PA tasks designed to separate task difficulty from linguistic complexity. These measures were, in turn, compared with measures of early literacy. Results indicated that the measures loaded on a single factor and that PA measured by differences in linguistic complexity, rather than by task differences, seemed to be more closely related to that factor. A logical analysis suggested that alphabet knowledge is necessary for children to separate onsets from rimes and that awareness of onsets and rimes is necessary both for word reading and for more complex levels of phonemic analysis. The relationship between phonological awareness1 and early reading has been well established since the 1970s (see Adams, 1990, for a review). Phonological awareness is an awareness of sounds in spoken (not written) words that is revealed by such abilities as rhyming, matching initial consonants, and counting the number of phonemes in spoken words. These tasks are difficult for some children because spoken words do not have identifiable segments that correspond to phonemes; for example, the word dog consists of one physical speech sound. In alphabetic languages, however, letters usually represent phonemes, and to learn about the correspondences between letters and phonemes, the child has to be aware of the phonemes in spoken words. Evidence for the importance of phonological awareness
Employee substance use and on-the-job behaviors

: Substance use and job behaviors were assessed in a sample of municipal employees from a large city in the southwestern United States. Job behaviors included psychological and physical withdrawal, positive work behaviors, and antagonistic work behaviors. Employees who reported substance use at or away from work were found to more frequently engage in withdrawal activities and antagonistic work behaviors than did nonusers, although users and nonusers did not differ on positive work behaviors. We tested hierarchical regression models to determine whether substance use contributed unique variance to the prediction of job behaviors after we controlled for variance associated with personal and job background domains. Substance use added unique variance to the prediction of psychological and physical withdrawal behaviors but not to positive or antagonistic work behaviors.
What's a good reason to change? Motivated reasoning and social accounts in promoting organizational change.

This study provides support for social accounts theory and motivated reasoning theory, both of which help explain how employees interpret the reasons that organizations undertake change. In a field study of a hospital implementing empowerment among nurses, staff nurses (n = 501) cited 3 types of reasons as motivating the change: economic, quality improvement, and self-serving or political reasons. (The formal, managerially stated reason for the change was quality improvement.) Results generally supported social accounts theory regarding the managerial explanation. In this setting, however, many nurses did not believe the explanation management offered. Their alternative interpretations of the change were investigated from the perspective of motivated reasoning. Findings indicated that nurses' trust in management, their psychological contracts with the hospital, and the beliefs of their coworkers affected the reasons nurses cited for the change. "We want to care for patients not paper. " "Nurses are able to share in their own future. " "Added responsibility without monetary reimbursement. " —Three contrasting views of the same restructuring Downsizing and restructuring have brought about radical changes in employment relationships worldwide (Kanter, 1989). These events are blamed for increased employee stress and dissatisfaction (Mirvis & Hall, 1994) and, when poorly implemented, for reduced performance and commitment and increased perceptions of injustice (Novelli, Kirkman, & Shapiro, 1995; Schneider & Bowen, 1995). Global competition, cost pressures, innovations in information technology, and rising customer expectations are seen to
Portuguese Validation of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES)

Objective: The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) is a widely used screening tool for dissociative symptoms. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the validity and internal consistency of a Portuguese version and determine if it accurately identified dissociative pathology. Method: The original DES underwent a “forward–backward” translation process. The translated form was used on 570 participants divided into 3 subgroups: 113 patients with dissociative symptoms, 233 psychiatric patients with various psychopathological disorders, and 224 normal individuals. Results: A principal components analysis with all of the participants yielded 4 factors that accounted for 56.3% of the variance. Reliability as measured by Cronbach's alpha was . 94. The receiver operating characteristic curve applied to the cutoff analysis revealed a value of 30 comparing the 2 clinical groups and contrasting the dissociative-based group with the nonclinical group. The ability of the DES to correctly classify those with and without the disease was very good. Sensitivity was 65.0% and specificity was 86.0% with the cutoff score of 30 from the comparison between dissociative symptomatic disorders and the other psychopathological disorders. Comparing the dissociative symptomatic group with the nonclinical group, we found that sensitivity was 65.0% and specificity was 100%. The mean DES scores for the 3 subgroups were significantly different. Conclusion: These findings are in some degree analogous to those in other studies and suggest that the DES is a reliable and valid screen for the Portuguese population.
Effects of ratee task performance and interpersonal factors on supervisor and peer performance ratings

The study examines the effects of a wide array of rater-ratee relationship and ratee-characteristic variables on supervisor and peer job-performance ratings. Interpersonal ratings, job performance ratings, and ratee scores on ability, job knowledge, and technical proficiency were available for 493-631 first-tour U.S. Army soldiers. Results of supervisor and peer ratings-path models showed ratee ability, knowledge, and proficiency accounted for 13% of the variance in supervisor performance ratings and 7% for the peer ratings. Among the interpersonal variables, ratee dependability had the strongest effect for both models. Ratee friendliness and likability had little effect on the performance ratings. Inclusion of the interpersonal factors increased the variance accounted for in the ratings to 28% and 19%, respectively. Discussion focuses on the relative contribution of ratee technical and contextual performance to raters' judgments
Maternal Variables as Predictors of Children's School Readiness and Later Achievement in Vocabulary and Mathematics in Sixth Grade.

HESS, ROBERT D. ; HOLLOWAY, SUSAN D. ; DICKSON, W. PATRICK; and PRICE, GARY G. Maternal Variables as Predictors of Children's School Readiness and Later Achievement in Vocabulary and Mathematics in Sixth Grade. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1984, 55, 1902-1912. This longitudinal study examined the stability of an often-reported association between maternal behavior and preschool children's cognitive abilities by using both school readiness (assessed at ages 5 and 6) and achievement on the mathematics and vocabulary subtests of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) at grade 6 as outcome measures. 67 mothers and their children participated in the preschool phase of the study; 47 were included in the follow-up. Maternal measures taken during preschool years (expectations for child's achievement, performance on a referential communication task, strategies for controlling the child's behavior, affective tone of mother-child interaction) predicted at significant levels both school readiness and performance at grade 6. The association was stronger with school readiness than with ITBS scores. Much of the variance on the ITBS was explained by performance on measures of school readiness, although the affective tone of the mother-child interaction during the preschool years added significantly to prediction of ITBS scores. The mother's influence on children's achievement in school appears to be most effective during preschool years.
“Patient-Treatment Fit” and Early Engagement in Therapy

The hypothesis tested in this study is that congruence between a patient's treatment assignment and his or her predilection for a particular form of treatment (in terms of the patient's beliefs about the causes of his or her problems and what will be helpful in treatment) will be related to the patient's early engagement in therapy. Using data collected in the NIMH Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program, the analyses revealed a considerable amount of support for the hypothesis, in that congruence was significantly related to patients' remaining through the first 4 weeks of treatment and to scores on two measures of the therapeutic relationship in early therapy sessions. The study is seen as a contribution to the growing literature on the role of the interaction of patient, therapist, and treatment variables in affecting processes and outcomes of treatment.

Patterns of guilt in children of depressed and well mothers.

Expressions of guilt were examined in 87 children, 5-9 years old, in a psychiatric interview and in an semiprojective procedure using vignettes to elicit children's narratives about interpersonal conflict and distress. Guilt is considered in relation to other dimensions of affect, theories of moral development, patterns of adaptation and maladaptation, and processes of social transmission of emotional problems
The effects of sex-typing schemas on young children's memory.

MARTIN, CAROL LYNN, and HALVERSON, CHARLES F. , JR. The Effects of Sex-typing Schemas on Young Children's Memory. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 54, 1983, 563-574. Children 5-6 years of age were shown pictures depicting males and females performing sex-consistent and sex-inconsistent activities. 1 week later, memory for activities and for sex of actor performing activities was tested using a variety of memory measures. Level of stereotyping and perceived similarity to actors were also assessed. As predicted, children tended to distort information by changing the sex of the actor in sex-inconsistent pictures and not by changing the sex of actor on sexconsistent pictures. Children were also more confident of memory for pictures remembered as sex consistent (whether distorted or not) than for inconsistent pictures. Children's ratings of perceived similarity followed gender of actor and did not influence memory or distortion. Results were discussed in terms of a schematic processing model of sex stereotyping and in terms of the influence sex reversals could have on the development and maintenance of sex stereotypes.
Systems Theory and Management Thinking

Two inquiring systems developed since the 1960s—Vickers's concept of the appreciative system and the soft systems methodology, are highly relevant to the problems of the 21st century. Both assume that organizations are more than rational goal-seeking machines and address the relationship-maintaining and Gemeinschaft aspects of organizations, characteristically obscured by functionalist and goal-seeking models of organization and management. Appreciative systems theory and soft systems methodology enrich rather than replace these approaches.
Effects of Parent Involvement in Isolation or in Combination with Peer Tutoring on Student Self-Concept and Mathematics Achievement.

The present study examined the effects of a home-based, parent involvement (PI) intervention and the reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT) intervention on the self-concept and mathematics achievement of academically at-risk urban elementary school students. Seventy-two 4th- and 5th-grade students evidencing difficulties in mathematics were selected. Students were assigned randomly to 3 conditions: PI+RPT, PI, and practice control (PC). Student self-concept reports showed that students in the PI+RPT and PI conditions reported higher ratings of scholastic and behavior conduct than controls. Students in the PI+RPT conditions perceived themselves as more socially confident than did PI or PC students. Mathematics findings indicated that students who received PI+RPT displayed higher levels of accurate mathematics computations on a curriculum-based measure than PI or PC students. PI+RPT students also had significantly higher scores on a standardized measure of mathematics computation than PC students. The relationships between the PI intervention components and school adjustment were discussed

Energy-aware Thread and Data Management in Heterogeneous Multi-core, Multi-memory Systems

By 2004, microprocessor design focused on multicore scaling—increasing the number of cores per die in each generation—as the primary strategy for improving performance. These multicore processors typically equip multiple memory subsystems to improve data throughput. In addition, these systems employ heterogeneous processors such as GPUs and heterogeneous memories like non-volatile memory to improve performance, capacity, and energy efficiency. With the increasing volume of hardware resources and system complexity caused by heterogeneity, future systems will require intelligent ways to manage hardware resources. Early research to improve performance and energy efficiency on heterogeneous, multi-core, multi-memory systems focused on tuning a single primitive or at best a few primitives in the systems. The key limitation of past efforts is their lack of a holistic approach to resource management that balances the tradeoff between performance and energy consumption. In addition, the shift from simple, homogeneous systems to these heterogeneous, multicore, multi-memory systems requires in-depth understanding of efficient resource management for scalable execution, including new models that capture the interchange between performance and energy, smarter resource management strategies, and novel low-level performance/energy tuning primitives and runtime systems. Tuning an application to control available resources efficiently has become a daunting challenge; managing resources in automation ismore » still a dark art since the tradeoffs among programming, energy, and performance remain insufficiently understood. In this dissertation, I have developed theories, models, and resource management techniques to enable energy-efficient execution of parallel applications through thread and data management in these heterogeneous multi-core, multi-memory systems. I study the effect of dynamic concurrent throttling on the performance and energy of multi-core, non-uniform memory access (NUMA) systems. I use critical path analysis to quantify memory contention in the NUMA memory system and determine thread mappings. In addition, I implement a runtime system that combines concurrent throttling and a novel thread mapping algorithm to manage thread resources and improve energy efficient execution in multi-core, NUMA systems. « less
Hybrid models of traffic flow : impacts of bounded vehicle accelerations

Hybrid Models of Traffic Flow: Impacts of Bounded Vehicle Accelerations by Jorge Andrés Laval Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Carlos F. Daganzo, Chair This dissertation develops extensions to the kinematic wave theory of moving bottlenecks that allow the formulation of parsimonious traffic flow models that turn out to match field data with unprecedented accuracy. These ”hybrid models” explicitly incorporate the effects of a stream of underperforming vehicles, whose trajectories are computed endogenously using realistic accelerations. Hybrid models exhibit important practical advantages stemming from their simplicity and mathematical stability. They do not amplify errors, they require few easily observable parameters and they can be validated by parts. Two practical applications are included: the effects of heavy vehicles on uphill bottlenecks, and the effects of lane-changing maneuvers. In the first case, we found
Orthographic effects on rhyme monitoring.

Three experiments examined the role of orthography in rhyme detection. Subjects in Experiments 1 and 2 monitored lists of aurally presented words for a word that rhymed with a cue word. The critical variable was whether the target word was orthographically similar or different from the cue word (e.g., pie-tie and rye-tie, respectively). In Experiment 1, monitor latencies to detect orthographically different rhymes were longer than latencies to detect orthographically similar rhymes, whether cue words were presented aurally or visually. Experiment 2 replicated this orthography effect using only auditory presentation of the cue word and a larger sample of items. In Experiment 3, orthographic similarity yielded shorter reaction times to decide that two words rhymed and longer reaction times to decide that they did not rhyme. The results are interpreted in terms of some recent models of semantic memory.
Which are the stimuli in facial displays of anger and happiness? Configurational bases of emotion recognition.

Two studies examined the hypothesis that geometric patterns in the facial expressions of anger and happiness provide information that permits observers to recognize the meaning of threat and warmth. A 1st study sought to isolate the configural properties by examining whether large-scale body movements encode affect-related meanings in similar ways. Results indicated that diagonal and angular body patterns convey threat, whereas round body patterns convey warmth. In a 2nd study, a set of 3 experiments using models of simple geometric patterns revealed that acute angles with downward pointing vertices conveyed the meaning of threat and that roundedness conveyed the meaning of warmth. Human facial features exhibit these same geometric properties in displays of anger and happiness
