”!Me estreso demasiado!” (I am too stressed): A multi-dimensional exploration of stress among Mexican immigrant women in the U.S. $49.99 This study examines the experience of stress among Mexican immigrant women through the lenses of Ecological, Intersectionality, and Social Networks Theories. The three research questions were: (1) Does access to a larger social network influence the experience of stress among Mexican immigrant women?; (2) Do Mexican immigrant women holding a greater number of social roles experience more or less stress than women with fewer social roles?; and, (3) How women with lower levels of stress are similar/different from those who experience higher levels of stress?;Several hypotheses are presented in the introductory chapter. A questionnaire, blood pressure, heart rate variability, pulse, and semi-structure interviews were used to collect data from 100 people. Differences were found in the women’s experience of stress when considering certain demographic characteristics. The results show higher familial stress among women with access to more social networks, but the number of social roles was not a predictor or a mediator of stress. Age at migration predicted social networks, and women with longer time in the U.S. had access to larger networks. Working women with children under 18 at home had higher levels of stress than all other women; immigration stress was higher among women living with a husband/partner; parental stress was higher among women with a husband/partner and three or more children; and, women with a husband/partner and three or more children reported more familial stress than other groups. Women with more years in the U.S. presented with less occupational stress, (this was mediated by the size of social networks, but not by the number of social roles performed).;In addition, the study explored the correlations between psychosocial measures of stress and blood pressure, pulse and heart variability contributing data on the concurrent validity of the Hispanic Stress Inventory. The qualitative interviews confirmed the quantitative and biomarkers findings.;The |

A multimodal investigation of the use of animal assisted therapy in a clinical interview. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to examine how the presence of a trained, certified, therapy dog, in conjunction with numerous participant personality characteristics, impact physiological reactivity, participant ratings of anxiety, rapport with interviewer, and motivation as well as numerous qualities about a clinical interview. Participants were 42 college students who were recruited from their psychology courses and offered extra credit for participation. Participants attended 2 sessions during which they participated in a one-on-one semi-structured interview about important relationships in their life. They also filled out self report questionnaires about their experience of anxiety, intrinsic motivation, rapport, bonding with the therapy dog and their own pet, and personality traits as well as having their heart rate and blood pressure measured several times. The investigation employed a full crossover design and was analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Results showed that measurements of physiological reactivity indicated greater reductions in blood pressure when the dog was present at the interview as opposed to when the dog was absent. Several personality variables including attachment anxiety, neuroticism, agreeableness, and extraversion, in addition to other participant factors such as feelings of bonding with the therapy dog or their own pet interacted with the presence of the dog and the outcome variables. This investigation indicates that animal assisted interventions do, indeed, have measurable benefits in a psychotherapeutic context and may be particularly useful for people who more strongly identify with certain personality variables such as neuroticism. These results indicate a promising future for the field of animal assisted therapy in psychotherapy but that more research is needed to further understand what type of patient and therapist match will be most successful using an animal assisted intervention. |

A triangular approach to Praxis I preparation at Virginia’s largest historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU). $49.99 Ever increasing calls for accountability and constant changes in legislations on teacher testing have left historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) lagging behind in meeting the demands for qualified minority teachers. An article in The Virginian-Pilot Ledger Star, Norfolk, Virginia’s, local newspaper, highlighted Norfolk State University (NSU) as possessing the lowest Praxis I pass rate in the State at 27%. The article also highlighted Hampton University, a private HBCU in Virginia with a passage rate of 33%. These problematic statistics became a call for action by the newly appointed Dean of the School of Education at NSU. Further investigation revealed that since the passing of legislation regarding the Praxis I by Virginia Board of Education, as the answer to federally mandated accountability for teachers, NSU’s 314 teacher education candidates in 1997-1999 experienced a sharp decline to 164 enrollees during the 2000-2001 academic years. NSU with a history for producing the most minority teachers in the Commonwealth was moved to action. The Student Success Triad is the result of the triangular approach taken by the SOE to develop a Praxis I preparation program using research, assessment, and curriculum redesign to assure that aspiring teacher education students have the skills, attitudes, and knowledge to fully meet the state-mandated requirements for entry into an accredited teacher education program. The innovative supplemental and developmental instruction that has emerged from this 5-year venture has served as a stimulus for faculty to utilize across the curriculum and has created a pathway for students and faculty to work in unison to accomplish success for the entire learning community. In addition, faculty at NSU and other HBCUs now acknowledge the importance as well as the need for research that begins at the heart of the problem: preparing minority preservice teachers how to successfully manage the Praxis examination. |

Actiheart validity in American Indian adults. $49.99 Measuring physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) accurately and precisely in free living is important to increase the understanding of the role of physical activity in health. The current criterion standard of measuring PAEE, a combination of doubly labeled water and resting metabolic rate, can be too costly and inconvenient for many studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity of published methods to estimate free-living PAEE with the Actiheart combined heart rate monitor – movement sensor. A total of 51 (26 female) young adult American Indians participated in this study. Participants were dosed with doubly labeled water and wore the Actiheart for 7 days of free living. PAEE estimates from the Actiheart data were derived using published equations and compared with the DLW-derived estimate. All of the Actiheart PAEE estimates were moderately correlated with the DLW-derived estimate (Spearman correlation coefficient from 0.54 to 0.72). For models that included heart rate, the Actiheart overestimated PAEE in heavier individuals and individuals with a higher mean PAEE to a greater extent than in lighter individuals and individuals with lower mean PAEE. For models that used only accelerometry data, the Actiheart tended to underestimate PAEE relative to DLW-derived. The underestimation was not related to weight or mean PAEE. In this population, Actiheart models that include heart rate do not appear to be valid to estimate PAEE. Further research is necessary to determine the source of the heart rate bias. |

Acute effect of a single high-fat meal on forearm blood flow, blood pressure and heart rate in healthy male Asians and Caucasians. $49.99 Research has shown that ingestion of a single high-fat (HF) meal causes postprandial lipemia and reduces brachial artery blood flow (BF) response to vascular occlusion in Caucasian populations. However, the forearm BF response to occlusion in Caucasian and Asian populations after a single HF meal has not been compared. Eleven healthy male Asians, mean age 26.4 (+/-4.2) years, height 174.2 (+/-7.4) cm, weight 73.8 (+/-5.7) kg and eight Caucasians, mean age 26.8 (+/-4.6) years, height 182.9 (+/-5.9) cm, weight 82.8 (+/-4.8) kg were studied. A randomized cross-over study design was used with a HF (50.1g total fat) or low-fat (LF) (5.1g total fat) test meal 1 week apart. Forearm blood flows were measured over a 2-minute period following a 4-minute occlusion (FBFO) at 2 and 4 hours following ingestion of a test meal. This study found that FBFO was significantly attenuated in Asians (19.3%; p=0.09) compared to Caucasians after the ingestion of a HF meal. When comparing the LF vs. HF meals in Asians, FBFO was 336.9 ml/100 ml tissue/min and 240.8 ml/100 ml tissue/min, respectively (p=0.02), whereas in Caucasians, FBFO was 344.8 ml/100 ml tissue/min and 287.4 ml/100 ml tissue/min, respectively. It appears that Asians have a higher sensitivity in response to a single HF meal which may be explained, in part, by genotypic variation. These findings suggest that a single HF meal may contribute to the detrimental effects on vascular health of Asian males and raises speculation regarding the cumulative impact of a chronic HF diet in this population. |

Adaptive control of a total artificial heart – An experimental investigation. $108 Applications of mathematical and physical analog models of total artificial heart (TAH) play a significant role in simulating human cardiovascular system.

An investigation of self-report and psychophysiologic empathic responses in non-psychopathic and psychopathic individuals. $49.99 A lack of empathy is considered to be one of the hallmark features of psychopathy. However, remarkably little research has specifically examined the relationship between psychopathy and empathy, and what does exist relies solely on self-report measures, which is problematic given psychopaths’ propensity for dishonesty. This research signifies an attempt to develop an objective measure of empathy, using psychophysiological indices of emotional experience as indicators of an empathic response. Specifically, corrugator and zygomatic facial muscle activity, event-related heart rate, and acoustic startle reflex responses were measured while participants viewed brief film clips of individuals experiencing happy and sad emotional events.;Pilot investigations of the films suggest that they are appropriate for eliciting happy and sad empathic emotion, and the pattern of responses by undergraduates with high and low trait levels of empathy indicates the validity of the approach and the promise of utilizing psychophysiological indices of emotional responding to measure situational empathy in a more objective manner. In particular, participants demonstrated patterns of psychophysiological responses to the empathy-inducing films which both matched their self-reported emotional experiences as well as the emotional valence of the stimuli. Moreover, several of the psychophysiological indices were able to discriminate high and low empathy individuals, whereby low empathy participants exhibited less facial expressiveness and less modulation of the acoustic startle reflex to the empathy-inducing stimuli than their high empathy counterparts.;The paradigm was then extended to a sample of male undergraduates with high and low levels of psychopathic traits, as assessed by the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised. Results suggest a significant negative relationship between self-reported psychopathy and self-reported dispositional empathy, with high levels of psychopathy associated |

Cardiovascular autonomic modulation following maximal exercise: Its relationship to race, maximal oxygen uptake, and resting heart rate variability . $49.99 The purpose of this dissertation was to provide a better understanding of post maximal exercise cardiovascular autonomic function and its relationship to race, VO2max and resting heart rate variability. Heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate recovery (HRR) are two non-invasive methods to assess cardiovascular autonomic modulation. This dissertation covers three studies. The first study examined the difference in cardiac autonomic function at rest and following maximal exercise between 30 white and 30 black college-age men. The results showed that black men had significantly greater HRV measures at rest, significantly faster heart rate recovery 2-minutes after exercise and significantly greater HRV during a 30-minute post-exercise period compared to the white men. The second study sought to determine the association of race, VO2max, and selected body composition measures to HRR. In this study, seventy-two college-aged men were divided into two groups above and below the mean VO2max of the entire sample (46.32 ml/kg/min) as follows: group 1 (ModFit, n = 36) had a mean VO2max of 39.99 +/- 4.01 ml/kg/min; and Group 2 (HiFit, n = 36) had a mean VO2max of 52.66 +/- 5.30 ml/kg/min. After comparing the mean heart rate recovery between the two groups, no significant difference was found. However, after controlling for the influence of race, a significant difference between groups in heart rate recovery 2-minutes (HRR2) was revealed, i.e., the HiFit group had a greater HRR2 compared to the LoFit group. Also, backwards linear regression procedures revealed that race was the most significant variable at accounting for the variation in HRR2 and the heart rate at 2-minutes post-exercise. The third study examined the relationship between resting HRV and HRR. The results of this study revealed no association between HRR and any of the resting HRV. However, there were significant associations between resting HRV and the following variables: maximal heart rate, heart rate at |

Comparison of oxygen consumption on different brands of elliptical trainers in the development of a metabolic prediction equation. $49.99 Purpose. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of elliptical trainer brand on gas exchange data as well as to develop separate equations that are specific to certain brands. Methods. Twenty-three healthy volunteers participated in the study (22.3 +/- 4.6 yrs, 172 +/- 8.2 cm, 67.5 +/- 9.3 kg). Subjects completed a treadmill VO2max test to determine fitness level, followed by two testing sessions on two different brands of elliptical trainers, the Precor EFX 576iRTM and the TRUE TS1RTM. Subjects exercised at the same watt level on each elliptical trainer as determined by resistance and cadence. Elliptical trainers and testing sessions were randomly assigned so that each subject was measured on each machine for six 5-minute stages for a total exercise time of 30 minutes per session. Oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and caloric cost of the exercise were measured during each session. A 2 (machine) x 3 (workload) repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze differences between machines. Stepwise multiple nonlinear regression analysis was used to develop metabolic equations for submaximal elliptical trainer exercise on both the Precor and TRUE. Results. Significant differences were found between elliptical trainer brands for all variables analyzed (p<0.001), with the TRUE eliciting higher values than the Precor for equivalent watt output readings. Oxygen consumption values at the same watt output reading were 6.85 +/- 4.4 ml/kg/min higher on the TRUE for watt levels between 107 and 131 watts. Two separate metabolic equations were developed for submaximal elliptical trainer exercise on the TRUE (R2 = 0.95, SEE = 2.6), and the Precor (R2 = 0.92, SEE = 2.4). Conclusion. Differences exist in physiological responses to submaximal elliptical trainer exercise at the same machine-given watt levels. These differences may require the acceptance of a metabolic prediction equation that is specific to a particular |

Cue reactivity in active and abstinent pathological gamblers. $49.99 Research has shown that physiological arousal in response to drug-related cues is a reliable sign of addiction. This phenomenon, termed cue reactivity, has been studied extensively in addictive behaviors such as alcohol or drug abuse and in bulimia. However, research in the area of pathological gambling, which is widely acknowledged as a psychological addiction, is almost non-existent. Therefore, the main purpose of the proposed study was to employ cue exposure procedures to better understand compulsive gambling behavior. Treatment-seeking pathological gamblers (n = 21), pathological gamblers in recovery with at least 3 months of abstinence (n = 21), and recreational gamblers (n = 21) were exposed to gambling-related cues to measure potential differences in reactivity depending on gambling status. Measures of cue reactivity included change in heart rate, subjective report of excitement and urge to gamble. Gambling-related cognitive distortions, negative mood, and personality characteristics known to be associated with addictive disorders were also assessed, including impulsivity and competitiveness as well as Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, and Reward Dependence from Cloninger’s Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire. The three groups of gamblers did not differ significantly in heart rate or excitement. However, significant differences among groups were found in terms of urge to gamble. The active pathological gamblers showed greater urges to gamble across all cues than abstinent pathological gamblers and, with marginal significance (p = .06), also social gamblers. Further exploration of these findings revealed that active pathological gamblers experience urges to gamble in response to exciting situations, whether or not they are gambling-related, whereas abstinent and social gamblers only report urges to an exciting gambling-related cue. This suggests that for pathological gamblers excitement itself, irrespective of its source, may become a conditioned stimulus |
