Emotional regulation and motivation to drink: gender, negative emotionality, behavioral undercontrol, and family history
No full textDespite support for the effectiveness of alcohol use disorders (AUD) treatment programs and the positive impact of policy changes related to alcohol use, AUD remains a major public health concern in the United States. As part of an effort to encourage transdisciplinary research, the integration of objective biological measures for AUD risk and existing psychosocial-based risk measures (e.g., demographic variables, personality characteristics, comorbid psychological disorders) are emerging as important areas of inquiry, with implications for the prevention and treatment of AUD. Theories of alcohol use emphasize the fundamental role of emotional regulation in drinking behaviors, and multiple psychosocial factors have been identified which influence such motivations for alcohol use. Through three separate, laboratory-based experimental investigations, this dissertation aimed to gain an understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between psychosocial factors (gender, personality, family history) and one’s desire to use alcohol for emotional regulation. In particular, this dissertation focused on examining the applicability of heart rate variability (HRV), an established psychophysiological measure of peripheral and central modulation of emotional arousal, in studying individual differences in emotional regulation. Changes in HRV in response to experimental manipulation of emotion and adaptive responding were linked to gender and personality differences in motivations for alcohol use. Gender differences in emotional reactivity suggest distinctive pathways toward unhealthy use of alcohol in men and women; that is, the pharmacological effects of alcohol appear to directly promote alcohol use in men, whereas cognitive expectancies, such as expectation that alcohol can counteract negative emotions, may underlie alcohol use in women, particularly when they are prone to negative mood states. Further, personality constructs of negative emotionality were associated with physiological dysregulation of emotion, which was linked to tendency to use alcohol for emotional regulation, particularly to suppress negative emotion. As a future direction, identification of malleable biological markers and the translation of these findings into clinical practices may help to better identify individuals at risk and suggest a novel approach for preventing or intervening in the development of AUD, which may in turn contribute to population health.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Tomoko Udo Schalle
Taking on the guild: Tomoko Masuzawa and <i>The invention of world religions</i>
No full textThis review provides a reading of Tomoko Masuzawa's The Invention of World Religions (2005) based upon the psychoanalytically-inflected, post-structuralist approach that Masuzawa developed in her first book, In Search of Dreamtime (1993). It is argued that there is a tension in the book between two theses—(i) that the discourse of world religions perpetuates Christian theological universalism and (ii) that the discourse of world religions perpetuates a Eurocentric view of the world. Ambiguity about this question within Masuzawa's narrative allows those who propound a broadly secular approach to the study of religion ("the guild' to which the author aligns herself) to read her work as a critique of ongoing Christian theological trends in the study of religion despite the fact that the primary narrative direction of the book offers an account that seeks to cut across the secular-theological dichotomy by challenging the Euro-(American) paradigms (whether Christian or post-Christian and secular) that continue to dominate this field of study

Discourse-level instruction on the acquisition of English present perfect in academic writing
No full textThis mixed-methods study investigated the relative effects of discourse-level instruction on the use of English present perfect (PP) in relation to other semantically neighboring tense-aspect forms. While PP is frequently used to discuss previous literature or introduce a research trend in academic writing (Gunawardena, 1989), it is considered one of the most difficult forms to acquire for its semantic overlap with other frequently used forms such as the simple present (PR) and the simple past (PT).
Participants were thirty-seven graduate students enrolled in different sections of an ESL-writing course at a public university in the US. They were divided into three groups: discourse-level and sentence-level instruction groups, and a control group without any instruction. Prior to instruction, all participants completed a pretest consisting of grammaticality judgment, forced-choice, and fill-in-the-blank tasks. The same tasks, with different but comparable items, were administered immediately and four weeks after the completion of the instruction. The two instruction groups participated in two 30-minute intervention sessions conducted across two different days within one same week. During the instructional sessions, the discourse-level instruction group was asked to read a research paper from a STEM field where PP predicates appeared without temporal adverbials and the other related tense-aspect forms (PR, PT) as well as the PP forms were highlighted. The sentence-level instruction group, on the other hand, read individual sentences, carrying those three target forms, from the same paper. Retrospective interviews were conducted after the delayed posttest to elicit the ESL participants’ awareness of the target form (PP) and the other two tense-aspect forms (PR, PT).
Results of the fill-in task reveal that the discourse-level instruction group outperformed the other groups on the immediate posttest, but not on the delayed posttest. The other tasks reveal non-significant group differences among the instruction groups and a control group on the pre-, immediate post- and delayed post-tests. Results from the retrospective interviews corroborate these quantitative findings. Pedagogical implications point to the efficacy of discourse-based, contextualized grammar instruction for learning the appropriate usage of different tense forms in a research paper.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-12-01The student, Tomoko Oyama, accepted the attached license on 2020-12-03 at 02:22.The student, Tomoko Oyama, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-12-03 at 02:42.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-12-04 at 16:38.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15909 on 2021-03-04 at 16:32:07Made available in DSpace on 2021-03-05T21:45:33Z (GMT).
