The colonization of time: production, consumption, and leisure
No full textThis dissertation reconsiders discretionary time as an objective measure of freedom through the concept of temporal autonomy, or the ability to control one’s time. The ability to control one’s time relates to the organization of the economy, state, and household with regards to the allocation of necessity. Capitalism dominates necessity through the manipulation of “necessary” labor-time that must be sold in order to survive in a market society, which I argue facilitates capitalism’s colonization of time for the purpose of generating profit and ensuring economic growth, rather than addressing human need or scarcity. If time is the ultimate scarce resource, then the distribution of time is a matter of justice. For this reason, I argue the fight for time as a political response to capitalism’s colonization of time remains an indispensible project that needs to be rethought in light of new historical conditions. Whereby the original fight for time fought to control and limit the time spent in production, I argue today’s fight for time must also address capitalism’s colonization beyond production through the commodification of time in general.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Nichole Marie Shippe
Cyberbullying: an exploratory study of adolescent girls' perspectives on technology's impact on relationships
No full textThis exploratory study examined adolescent girls’ perspectives on how technology impacts their relationships with their peers and the phenomenon of cyberbullying. A qualitative analysis of nineteen interviews was completed using a grounded theory approach (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The rise in technology use by teens has resulted in significant changes in the amount and type of social interactions that they engage in within social circles (Osit, 2008). In a 2010 study completed by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, using telephone surveys and focus groups nationwide, it was found that over seventy percent of teens owned a cell phone and generally used it for many different purposes besides placing calls (Lenhart, 2010). With increased use of technology, negative aspects have emerged, as rumors, pictures, and private information can be spread faster and to more people, and online pages can be created to taunt victims (Pew, 2007).The term, “cyberbullying” has been used to describe the types of aggressive and harrassing behaviors that result in teens being victimized via technological devices (computers, cellular phones). This study explored the experiences of adolescent girls’ use of technology, asking them to reflect on their beliefs about their peer group and offer their input on how interventions from adults can be more effective in addressing cyberbullying incidents that occur. Results from this study indicated several themes related to this issue: excess of access, bystander drama, impact on social interaction, egocentrism of adolescence, boundaries of school, home- social boundaries, personal accountability, and violent repercussions. Implications for research, schools, parents, mental health providers, adolescents, and policy were also discussed.Psy. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Kelly Nichole Moor

No full textPolymers used in environmental and biomedical applications (e.g., filtration membranes and wound dressings) have surface properties that limit their biocompatibility and performance in biological settings. Such limitations arise from material hydrophobicity and propensity for bacterial attachment, leading to infection and device failure. Here, plasma processing is used to deposit films derived from essential-oil derived compounds. Surface characterization and performance testing reveals deposited films are anti-fouling and have controllable surface properties. As the use of polymers is widespread in biomedical devices and water treatment, such tunability allows for development of advanced naturally-derived antibacterial coatings, potentially improving medical outcomes and water quality.CSU Ventures Drivers of Innovation - Platinum award
Depression among Multiracial Adults: The Role of Discrimination and Social Support
No full textAlthough it is unclear whether rates of depression differ for Multiracial individuals compared to Monoracial People of Color (MPOC) and Monoracial White (MW) individuals, Multiracial individuals could be at higher risk secondary to unique experiences with discrimination and social support. Experiencing discrimination is robustly associated with depressive symptoms, whereas social support has been shown to buffer this association in MPOC. Multiracial people often face discrimination from multiple racial groups (i.e., double rejection) and are less likely to receive the protective in-group benefits their monoracial peers report. Simultaneously, Multiracial people have reported increased ability to traverse social boundaries, which could increase their opportunities for social support. The current study examined how the variables of discrimination, social support, and depression differ across Multiracial, MW, and MPOC. The link between discrimination and depression was evaluated among Multiracial participants. Sources of social support were examined as moderators. Multiple regression analyses conducted among the full sample (N = 1,322, Mage = 40.6 ± 20.5), showed that discrimination did not differ by racial group (p = .54). Social support (p < .001, p = .002), peer support (p = .002, p =.02), and family support (p = .02, p < .001) were higher for MW participants than for MPOC and Multiracial people. Depressive symptom were higher for Multiracial participants than for MPOC participants (p < .001). Among Multiracial participants, discrimination was positively associated with depressive symptoms (p < .001). Overall social support (p < .001), peer support (p =.01), and family support (p = .02) were also negatively associated with depressive symptoms, but were not significant moderators.
Results suggest that Multiracial people experience higher depressive symptoms than their MPOC counterparts, and discrimination may be a contributor to these experiences. Future research should include measures better designed to capture the experiences of Multiracial adults in an effort to clarify the validity of the double rejection phenomenon. Interventions to reduce the perpetration of monoracism are needed, as are those to help Multiracial people cope with the depressive symptoms associated with these experiences
Ecological Momentary Assessment of State Affect Prior to and Following Loss of Control
No full textLoss of control eating (LOC) is a disordered eating behavior that is prevalent but understudied among young men. Affect regulation models propose that LOC eating functions as a maladaptive effort to escape from distressing affective states. As such, negative affect is thought to increase in the hours and minutes before LOC eating, and decrease afterwards. However, examinations specific to young men are lacking and it remains unclear which discrete types of affect are most implicated in young men’s LOC eating. The current study examined the temporal roles of affect in LOC eating in a sample of 42 young men (18-35 years; Mage = 25.31±5.38y; 46.3% White; 22% Black/African American; 9.8% Black but not African American) who engage in frequent LOC eating. Participants completed a 14-day ecological momentary assessment protocol and recorded all eating episodes and their state affect five times per day. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) were conducted to examine the trajectories of global negative affect, global positive affect, and each discrete type of affect pre- and post-LOC eating episodes. Results did not support study hypotheses; rather, negative affect did not change significantly before or after LOC eating (ps<.05). Positive affect did not change significantly before LOC eating (ps<.05). Global positive affect, excitement, and happiness decreased significantly after LOC eating (ps≤.001, R2s=-.03). Study findings contradict extant theory and empirical data largely from female samples. Negative affect did not increase risk for LOC eating, nor did LOC eating function to improve participant’s moods; rather, positive mood slightly decreased after LOC eating. Results from this pilot study can inform future research on LOC eating in young men who engage in subthreshold disordered eating behaviors. Further investigation around the observed decline in positive affect after LOC eating will clarify if this is a relevant intervention point in this population
Examining Group Differences in Health and Depression among Sexual and Gender Diverse Individuals: An Intersectional Approach
No full textSexual and gender diverse (SGD) individuals experience significant health disparities; yet, little is known about the unique risks of the individuals within this diverse community, particularly at the intersection of sexual, gender, racial, and ethnic identities. The present study aimed to examine differences in depression, suicidal ideation, and chronic health conditions (CHCs) at the intersection of SGD and ethnic and racial identities. Qualtrics Panels recruited 1329 U.S. adults from various SGD subgroups (389 cisgender heterosexual, 289 cisgender bisexual, 219 cisgender gay, 157 cisgender lesbian, and 275 cisgender gender diverse adults) and racial and ethnic subgroups (415 non-Hispanic White, 387 Hispanic or Latinx, 268 Black or African American, 252 Multiracial adults). Participants completed online surveys. After adjusting for income, education, and age, SGD adults had higher depressive symptoms and were more likely to experience suicidal ideation frequently and have CHCs compared to non-SGD adults (ps < .05). There were important variations within SGD and racial and ethnic subgroups suggesting that bisexual, gender diverse, and multiracial adults experience worse mental and/or physical health compared to cisgender, heterosexual respondents. The study findings and extant research underscore the need to examine how health disparity risk varies across SGD subgroups as certain groups may be at greater risk and these risks may vary based on the outcome being examined. There also appears to be a complicated interaction between SGD status, race, and ethnicity. Future research elucidating risk for health disparities should take an intersectional approach to more effectively direct research and intervention
