title: Plato's Tragic Politics: Reading the <em>Republic</em> as Tragedy

description: This dissertation is about the history of the concept of tragedy. I seek to broaden the meaning of the concept of tragedy for political scientists and theorists by returning to the texts and contexts of ancient Greek tragedy. To this end, this dissertation explores theories of the tragic in the work of Jean-Pierre Vernant and Walter Burkert. Vernant and Burkert help uncover tragedy’s preoccupation with animal sacrifice, which is taken to be central to the meaning of tragedy. In animal sacrifice, with which the work of Burkert is concerned, the sacrificed animal is anthropomorphized, signaling the humanity of the animal and the remorse of “man the killer.” Sacrifice, like ancient tragedy, captures the ambiguities of action, while also positing an intimacy between the community and its victims. The second part of this dissertation consists of a long argument about Plato’s Republic, to the effect that Socrates’ disavowal of tragedy and tragic poetry as inimical to political life must be understood within the context of ancient tragedy and its predecessor, Homer. This second part offers the view that the Republic itself contains tragic elements, above all in the ambiguous figure of Socrates, who, like the officiating priests at the sacrifice who suggest that they resemble their animal victim, bears resemblance to the object of his criticism: the poets. This argument is an extension of important past work by Jacques Derrida. This tension in the character of Socrates is reproduced at the level of the city in speech which Socrates founds in the dialogue: the great threat to Kallipolis is tragic poetry and imitation, but its founders and statesmen are frequently referred to as poets, doctors, and painters, all of which professions are described with derision or viewed with suspicion at some point in the Republic. Finally, this dissertation concludes by considering the Cave allegory of Republic VII, arguing that like Antigone the image draws upon its religious background, particularly the Eleusinian mysteries, but does so skeptically and critically. This final part of the dissertation draws on work done by Andrea Wilson Nightingale and S. Sara Monoson.

title: Making US Security Cooperation Work: Organizational Capital in Aid Provision

description: This dissertation explores the effectiveness of US security cooperation in fragile states by focusing on the role of organizational capital in aid provision. It argues that traditional approaches that emphasize hardware transfers and basic skills training often fall short in building sustainable and effective security forces. Instead, this work posits that non-materiel aid aimed at developing social capital via Defense Institution Capacity Building (DICB) is most crucial for achieving long-term stability and effectiveness.
By employing a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis with case studies of Ukraine and Mali, the dissertation demonstrates that whether security cooperation efforts succeed or fail can hinge on the degree to which they contribute to building professionalism in recipients. The findings reveal that, when successful, such investments lead to better civil-military relations, reduced corruption, and more responsible uses of force. Conversely, train & equip centric efforts can contribute to instability by inadvertently exacerbating underlying governance issues.

title: The Effects of Agency on Attentional Selection and Control

description: When our actions cause predictable outcomes in the environment we experience a sense of agency, or a feeling of control over an object or situation. Recently, this sense of agency, or one’s interactions with the physical world, has been shown to bias attention. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how the sense of agency might affect the ways in which we selectively attend to objects. In the first experiment, I utilized eye tracking to explore how and when agency-driven selection is deployed while interacting with the environment. I then discussed a set of experiments which examined the possible mechanisms underlying the connection between a sense of agency and attentional selection. I then presented work identifying how agency-driven attentional selection interacts with simultaneously presented endogenous (words) and exogenous (color singletons) environmental cues. The final experiment investigated the possibility that the attentional benefits gained from the sense of agency compound over time. Together, these studies show that not only does the sense of agency play a significant role in the allocation of attention, but that this agency-driven selection is a robust and dynamic phenomenon.

title: Longitudinal Impacts of the Father-Child Relationship on Adjustment: Developmental and Dynamic Change

description: Increasingly, studies have underscored the unique positive effects of fathers on their children, with findings highlighting characteristics of the father-child relationship that uniquely contribute to positive development. Limited research has expanded this study into mid-childhood through adolescence, and fewer studies have incorporated mother data to examine the potential for father-specific effects. Prior work on the unique effects of fathers has focused almost exclusively on between-person relationships between fathering and child outcomes. Almost no research has examined the within-person question associated with developmental processes. Additionally, the characteristics and quality of the father-child relationship may change across development. Within these larger scale developmental changes, the quality of the father-child relationship may also vary based on day-to-day interactions between fathers and their children. Guided by these research gaps, the present study examined the relationship between paternal support and children’s internalizing problems, as well as the relationship between yearly and daily measures of youths’ relationships with their fathers, in a community sample of 299 mothers, fathers, and children (Mage = 10.68, SD = 2.40; range = 7 - 17) assessed over the course of 3 years. Comparative data from mothers was included, allowing for examination of whether each set of findings was father-specific. Based on the results of multilevel modeling utilizing person-mean centering, this study revealed father-specific between-and within-person effects of paternal support on youths’ internalizing problems. In particular, the within-person effect of paternal support was significant only for boys. Growth curve models revealed that paternal support increased over time. Dynamic structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationship between daily and yearly relationship quality. The results of these models indicated that fathers with more carryover in their relationship quality from one day to the next during wave 1 tended to have decreases in carryover across years. Additionally, fathers with lower yearly-level acceptance at wave 1 also tended to have more day-to-day carryover in their daily relationship with their children at wave 1. This pattern may suggest that maintaining consistent daily-level relationship quality does not result in high levels of trait-like acceptance, and that those with lower levels of paternal acceptance tended to, on average, also have consistently lower day-to-day relationship quality with their fathers. This study provided implications for research and practice related to fathering during adolescence, as well as several directions for future work.

title: Impact of Interoceptive Accuracy and Upward Physical Appearance Comparison on Adaptive and Maladaptive Eating Behaviors

description: Eating disorders are a global concern with severe mental and physical health consequences, such as osteoporosis, anemia, heart damage, and organ failure in anorexia nervosa, and sore throat, tooth enamel erosion, gastrointestinal problems, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance in bulimia nervosa (Himmerich et al., 2021). Even subclinical cases pose a serious threat to mental and physical health. Intuitive eating, as a non-dieting approach, focuses on recognizing hunger and fullness cues for maintaining health. Using cross-sectional data from a sample of 364 young adults surveyed in a university setting in a small Midwestern city, the current study employs structural equation modeling to investigate the links among interoceptive accuracy, upward physical appearance comparison, and adaptive (i.e., intuitive eating) and maladaptive eating behaviors (i.e., bulimia, restrained eating, and binge eating). Better understanding of the connections among these concepts has implications for clinical intervention targeting individuals struggling with disordered eating. It was hypothesized that interoceptive accuracy would be negatively associated with upward physical appearance comparison and positively associated with intuitive eating, while negatively associated with binge eating, restricted eating, and bulimia. Additionally, statistically significant indirect effects were anticipated, wherein heightened interoceptive accuracy was linked to a decrease in upward physical appearance comparison, ultimately leading to a reduction in disordered eating behaviors and an increase in intuitive eating. Structural equation modeling revealed significant associations between interoceptive accuracy, physical appearance comparison, and each of the four eating behaviors. Interoceptive accuracy was negatively associated with upward physical appearance comparison and maladaptive eating behaviors, while positively associated with intuitive eating. Indirect effects analysis showed that interoceptive accuracy reduced upward physical appearance comparison, subsequently decreasing disordered eating behaviors and promoting intuitive eating. These findings underscore the importance of interoceptive accuracy and upward physical appearance comparison in understanding and addressing disordered eating, emphasizing the potential of interventions targeting these factors for promoting healthier eating behaviors.

title: Identifying Groups with Different Dynamic Patterns Using Cluster Analysis

description: Clustering is an exploratory analysis technique to uncover subgroups within the population and it facilitates the development of subgroup-specific intervention or treatment. Although it is commonly used for cross-sectional data, several researchers have used it for multivariate time series with the goal of grouping together individuals with similar dynamic patterns (Aghabozorgi, Shirkhorshidi, & Wah, 2015).
The common raw data-based approach may fail to identify subgroups with distinctive dynamic factor structures that are often the focus of psychological research and not directly visible in the time series patterns. In the dissertation, I develop a model-based clustering method to identify subgroups characterized by their dynamic patterns of latent factors. In particular, it first fits a dynamic factor analysis model (Molenaar, 1985; Nesselroade, McArdle, Aggen, & Meyers, 2002; Browne & Zhang, 2007) to each individual's time series, and then calculates distances between parameter estimates of the fitted models and groups individuals based on the distances. 
I present an empirical illustration of four clustering methods. The methods are model-based clustering with K-means algorithm, model-based clustering with hierarchical algorithm, raw data-based clustering with K-means algorithm, and raw data-based clustering with hierarchical algorithm. I conduct the simulation study to compare the performances of the four methods with multivariate time series. 
The simulation results indicate that (1) the model-based approach had higher cluster recovery rates and adjusted Rand indices compared to the raw data-based approach. (2) Under the same clustering approach, the K-means clustering algorithm had slightly higher cluster recovery rates and adjusted rand indices compared to the hierarchical clustering algorithm in most conditions. (3) The cluster recovery rates of clustering validation indices vary depending on the number of population clusters. 
I address methodological and applied implications, limitations and future studies, and conclusions of the study.
