Parental emotion regulation and the socialization of emotion: The role of effortful control
Get PDFResearch and theory have indicated the importance of parental emotion socialization behaviors on children’s developing emotional competence. Less attention has been given to factors that influence parent emotion socialization behaviors. The current study sought to build upon emerging research on the impact of parents’ self-regulatory capacities on their emotion socializing behaviors, in particular their responses to child negative emotionality. It explored the relationships between emotion regulation, effortful control, and responses to child negative affect in a sample of parents of 3- to 8-year-old children (N = 528). As expected, parent emotion dysregulation was significantly negatively related to parent effortful control. In separate multivariate regression models for supportive and nonsupportive responses to child distress, effortful control mediated the relations between emotion dysregulation and emotion socialization. In bivariate analyses, higher levels of parent emotion dysregulation predicted nonsupportive reactions to child negative affect. Contrary to predictions, parent emotional flooding did not significantly moderate the relationship between emotion dysregulation and responses to child distress. Exploratory analyses revealed significant positive correlations between emotion coaching and emotion dismissing beliefs and parent emotion socializing behaviors. Overall, the present study adds to the extant literature supporting the role of effortful control in facilitating emotion regulation and suggests that it may be crucial in supporting emotion socialization. The findings have important treatment implications, particularly for the leading edge of child interventions that designate parent emotion regulation as a primary target

No full textFor my final paper, I wrote about how urban art affects the urban problems that it addresses. I wanted my quilt square to reflect some ways that such art affects its target. The main idea of the square is to demonstrate different methods artists use to combat environmental problems through representation, performance environment, and intervention. The middle of the square, which depicts these methods, is divided into thirds; each third contains an image representing one of the methods. Representational art spreads awareness and information about the issue. To illustrate this method, I made a bunch of people looking at a billboard that says “info” on it. The billboard represents the art and the word “info” represents the information the art is meant to provide. The viewers of the art are gaining awareness and knowledge about the issue. To depict what a performance environment means, a person can be seen in a bubble that signifies a city. Outside the bubble are different environments. A tree and an iceberg represent deforestation and global warming, respectively—issues that city dwellers may not understand because of their location. The last image depicts a person building a windmill. This is supposed to represent intervention because the person’s art (the windmill) sets the scene for creating change (sustainable power). The art thus directly helps to combat the problem.https://digitalcommons.liu.edu/cusp_usquilt_2022/1006/thumbnail.jp
Chaos in the mind and world
Get PDFFor my quilt square, I focus on mental health and climate change. What I want the viewer to take away from my piece is the impact that climate change and the extreme weather patterns that arise from it have on the mental health of urban populations around the world, particularly in cities. Natural disasters cause loss of personal property, livelihoods, and life. Extreme weather patterns have been known to negatively affect human health by exacerbating mental illnesses. People who survive natural disasters caused by climate change develop anxiety disorders regardless of their history of mental illness.
My piece features a distressed woman painted gray with tears. streaming down her face symbolizing the collective struggle of those who face mental illness. In her hair, there are two painted scenes. The first painted scene that begins at the root of her hair is a forest fire which gradually changes into the next scene which is a city flooding. Both the forest fire and the flood represent the natural disasters caused by climate change. I chose these two natural disasters because in recent years they have become more common. The words “Chaos in the mind and world” are prominently featured on the square. These words reflect what is going on with the rest of the quilt square showing that the discord in the natural world affects the discord of the mind.https://digitalcommons.liu.edu/cusp_usquilt_2022/1005/thumbnail.jp
Communication of Financial Information: A Content Analysis of Media Reports
Get PDFThe Financial Crisis of 2008, also known as the Great Recession of 2008, marked a time of severe economic downturn in the United States and the global community. The magnitude of the crisis is often compared to that of the Great Depression. Oftentimes after a crisis, questions arise on whether accurate and relevant information was made available to the public in a timely manner because of the widespread consequences of failing to do so. The Financial Crisis of 2008 provides a unique opportunity to examine the communication of financial information to the public by evaluating information gaps in this process. The research questions in this study were formulated to identify the types of gaps that exist in the communication of financial information from publicly held corporations to the public, the causes of such gaps, as well as measures that can be taken to close those gaps. Content analysis is the methodology chosen for data analysis. Three kinds of sources were used for collecting data: newspaper articles from The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times during the years 2006 to 2009, books written by financial experts, and congressional documents from hearings that produced an evaluation on the Financial Crisis of 2008. Answers to the research questions present what has been documented in the data sources used in this study. Findings show that 1) types of gaps include misleading financial information, unreliable valuation of assets, and the interconnectedness of the financial system; 2) causes of gaps include subprime mortgages, securitization, derivatives, and financial leverage; and 3) findings suggest that decreasing financial leverage, increasing regulations, and increasing transparency in reporting can mitigate the potential for gaps in communicating financial information
Prevalence of Depression Among Mothers Experiencing Role Conflict
Get PDFResearch shows mothers and women have higher levels of role conflict and depression. The purpose of this study was to expand on the literature surrounding mothers with role conflict and their depression levels. The main hypothesis was mothers experiencing total role conflict have higher levels of depression compared to non-mothers. Additionally, four sub hypotheses were examined. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Long Island University students and staff, who were women, responded to a survey that included five demographic questions, the PHQ-9 scale, and The Role Conflict Scale. Total sample size was n = 36 with 18 respondents being mothers. Three hypotheses showed significant findings, however, only two were supported. Limitations include a small sample size, limited population, and research design. Based on the findings, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Mothers experience higher levels of role conflict than nonmothers
2. Mothers with Parent vs. Self role conflict tend to show high levels of depression
3. Levels of Professional vs. Self role conflict is associated with depression levels in non-mother
DATA ANALYTICS FOR CRISIS MANAGEMENT: A CASE STUDY OF SHARING ECONOMY SERVICES IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Get PDFThis dissertation study aims to analyze the role of data-driven decision-making in sharing economy during the COVID-19 pandemic as a crisis management tool. In the twenty-first century, when applying analytical tools has become an essential component of business decision-making, including operations on crisis management, data analytics is an emerging field. To carry out corporate strategies, data-driven decision-making is seen as a crucial component of business operations. Data analytics can be applied to benefit-cost evaluations, strategy planning, client engagement, and service quality. Data forecasting can also be used to keep an eye on business operations and foresee potential risks. Risk Management and planning are essential for allocating the necessary resources with minimal cost and time and to be ready for a crisis. Hidden market trends and customer preferences can help companies make knowledgeable business decisions during crises and recessions. Each company should manage operations and response during emergencies, a path to recovery, and prepare for future similar events with appropriate data management tools. Sharing economy is part of social commerce, that brings together individuals who have underused assets and who want to rent those assets short-term. COVID-19 has emphasized the need for digital transformation. Since the pandemic began, the sharing economy has been facing challenges, while market demand dropped significantly. Shelter-in-Place and Stay-at-Home orders changed the way of offering such sharing services. Stricter safety procedures and the need for a strong balance sheet are the key take points to surviving during this difficult health crisis. Predictive analytics and peer-reviewed articles are used to assess the pandemic\u27s effects. The approaches chosen to assess the research objectives and the research questions are the predictive financial performance of Uber & Airbnb, bibliographic coupling, and keyword occurrence analyses of peer-reviewed works about the influence of data analytics on the sharing economy. The VOSViewer Bibliometric software program is utilized for computing bibliometric analysis, RapidMiner Predictive Data Analytics for computing data analytics, and LucidChart for visualizing data
“The Clementine Collective”: A Corner Store intervention of clementine fruits in a high need neighborhood in Staten Island, New York
Get PDFIndividuals living in underserved neighborhoods face significant barriers to getting fresh produce. It has been extensively researched that providing individuals with fresh fruits and vegetables can have a positive physical and mental impact on the lives of individuals in underserved neighborhoods and the lives of their families. Unfortunately, individuals who reside in such neighborhoods are often viewed as not being motivated to consume fresh fruits and vegetables, even where barriers to eating such foods are removed. This study aims to determine whether, in the COVID-19 era, individuals in underserved neighborhoods would consume fresh fruits if presented with them in an appealing and consistent manner. To test the hypothesis that individuals in such high-need neighborhoods would consume fresh fruits during COVID-19 if readily and consistently available, clementine fruits in the quantity of 50 per day were placed in a stand in a corner store in the New Brighton neighborhood of Staten Island. The results show a discernible response on the part of the corner store customers and supported the hypothesis that individuals if given the chance, these individuals would consume fresh fruits distributed and available in a consistent manner. While further research needs to be done, especially with respect to responses from store owners, variety of fruits consumers will eat, and overall buy-in for such programs from consumers, community members and local non-profits, the results of this study demonstrated that consumers in underserved neighborhoods would consume a variety of fruits and vegetables from a corner store the COVID-19 era
The Psychological and Technological Intersectionality in Game Design and Development
No full textOver the past number of decades, video games and game design have been evolving and pushing technology forward. This is quite obvious when comparing the original Pong (1972) to God of War (2018). Pong is a simple recreation of table tennis, on the other hand, God of War is a large-scale action-adventure game with highly realistic graphics. What brings these two games together is that they are both meant for a player to enjoy. At the time of each game’s creation, the developers were utilizing the available technology to its fullest. While technology has been advancing, the psychology and philosophy of designing these games have been relatively unchanged. The goal of creating video games has always been to entertain the player with a new experience. This goal has many ways of being achieved, such as through competition, cooperation, storytelling, puzzle-solving, strategy, high-speed action, or overcoming challenges.
Game design is about more than just the technology the designer is working with, or the psychology of how they want the player to experience their game. Game design is about how these two sides are connected to create great games. It is about using the technology available to a game designer to create a unique experience for others. A game designer may have an idea to create a system within a game that they believe will be satisfying to the player, but due to the technology they are working with, they may not be able to fully realize that idea. In this case, the designer will need to come up with a compromise to achieve their goal. As time has gone by and technology has advanced, the need to compromise has diminished, meaning a designer will have much more freedom to create psychologically engaging interactions with the players. This intersectionality of psychology and technology in game design is what drives the industry forward, leading to new and innovative games for everyone to enjoy
A Forensic Analysis of Synthetic Cannabinoids
Get PDFSynthetic cannabinoids are a drug produced in a laboratory designed to imitate the physiological and psychological effects of a specific controlled substance. They are designed to bind to receptors in the body that recognize THC and CBD metabolites from the cannabis plant. The synthetic cannabinoid was originally created to study these receptors and neurotransmitters in hopes to find a viable alternative to traditional medicine. Forensic scientists often encounter an issue of detection when dealing with synthetic cannabinoids due to the inconsistencies in the chemical formulas of their derivatives. This leads to difficulty in identifying the drug in biological matrices as it can avoid detection in standard drug tests for cannabinoids, or other related substances. Scientists continue to study how it is metabolized in the body and the effects it causes. A future goal for toxicologists is to develop a standardized test that has the potential to identify them regardless of the inconsistencies in different blends. Several studies are reviewed which analyze the strongest methods for detection and identification of synthetic cannabinoids under different conditions. Researchers are working towards sharing important information with healthcare professionals to properly treat those who experience severe intoxication. With each scientific advancement toward the identification and regulation of synthetic cannabinoids, research can be applied practically to create laws, standard techniques and treatment plans. They aim to decrease the rates of abuse of synthetic cannabinoids around the world
