How and When Implicit Attitudes About Smoking Affect Decision Making in the Personal Process of Smoking Cessation
No full textRecent theories of attitudes and cognition have made a distinction between explicit attitudes that are conscious, deliberate judgments people make when asked to do so, and implicit attitudes, or those that are made automatically and without conscious effort (Greenwald and Banaji, 1995). This study integrated research and theory of implicit attitudes about smoking with the Transtheoretical Model's understanding of the process individuals go through as they quit smoking, to test the moderating effect of motivation to change on implicit smoking attitudes and to evaluate the indirect (mediated) effects of implicit smoking attitudes on cigarette demand through explicit smoking attitudes. Participants were N=283 daily smokers who completed an online survey that measured characteristics of their smoking, motivational Readiness to change, decisional balance considerations (Pros and Cons of smoking), and demand for cigarettes (Cigarette Purchase Task), before completing the Smoking Implicit Association Test. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that as implicit attitudes about smoking became more positive, smokers reported on average more explicit positive attitudes (Pros of smoking) about smoking and less negative explicit attitudes (Cons of smoking) about smoking, beyond the effect Readiness for change had on those explicit smoking attitudes. Readiness to change did not moderate the effect of implicit smoking attitudes on decisional balance considerations. Decisional balance considerations were important predictors of smoker's responses on the smoking purchase task and accounted for the relationship between implicit smoking attitudes and choices on a hypothetical smoking purchase task. More positive implicit smoking attitudes indirectly predicted that smokers would purchase cigarettes at higher average prices before consumption dropped to zero, greater average maximum financial expenditure on cigarettes, and higher average price at which expenditure was maximized. These results may be useful for understanding how cigarette prices affect attitudes about smoking and increase the likelihood that people will quit
Bayesian Estimation Under Shape Restriction and Some Deconvolution Problems
No full textIn this dissertation, we have explored Bayesian estimation under restrictions on the parameter space and deconvolution problems. The Bayesian estimation problem is motivated by two applications in hydrology and toxicology. The deconvolution part includes prediction of ordered random effects and recursive estimation of mixing distribution. In Bayesian estimation problem a family of monotone regression function is estimated. The functions start from zero and reach one and do not intersect in between. This problem is motivated by the depth duration curves in hydrology. We proposed a novel Bayesian solution based on Bernstein polynomial and established posterior consistency of our methodology using compactness of range and domain. A sufficient condition on the relative rate of increase of polynomial degree with respect to the number of observed points are explored. In other application, we modeled dose-response curves that arise in the context of toxicology. The problem of predicting order statistics has application is data masking and small area estimation problem. We have proposed a shrinkage type estimator and have derived the optimum value of the shrinkage parameter. The asymptotic value of the shrinkage coefficients depend on the Wasserstein distance between standardized distribution of observed and unobserved variable. In the process, we have also established a necessary and sufficient condition for a recent conjecture about the shrinkage coefficient to hold. The biggest advantage of this estimator is that it is distribution free. This makes the estimator robust and the estimator continues to perform well under model misspecification. Estimating the mixing density from a mixture is an important problem in statistics literature. This deconvolution can be carried out through a stochastic approximation based fast recursive algorithm. The main advantage of such algorithm is that it is extremely faster than the full Bayesian estimator. In current literature, properties have been shown under the independence of the observations. Here some dependent structures are explored. The recursive algorithm is also modified to address general mixing scenarios
Union Market: A Story of People and Food in a Changing Place
No full textThe historical and ethnographic study of Union Market, a public market complex in Northeast Washington, D.C., examines the impact of decline and redevelopment on the social dynamics at work there from the late 1920s to present day. The social dynamics explored include the people, culture, and function of the market. This research connects the processes of urban change and identities (per)formed in the market with access to public space. People (per)form identities, regardless of intention, through such means as their appearance, food choices, and activities. These performances imbue space with sociocultural coding that tells others who and what belong there. This coding as well as processes of urban change like gentrification shape the ""public"" in public spaces. Who ""public"" includes matters because of the role these spaces play in defining communities and societal values. The story of Union Market offers an in-depth look at how public is shaped and by whom, the role of food in defining the identities of people and places, and the choices that drive urban change
