MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School Certificate for Approving The MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the dissertation of Carolyn R. Shainheit Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ______________________________________ Director Margaret Wright, Ph.D. ______________________________________ Reader Elizabeth Kiel-Luebbe, Ph.D. ______________________________________ Reader Aaron Luebbe, Ph.D. ______________________________________ Graduate School Representative Robert Burke, Ph.D. ABSTRACT EXPOSURE TO CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE INTERPARENTAL CONFLICT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO INTERPERSONAL FUNCTIONING by Carolyn R. Shainheit Conflict is an inevitable component of marital relationships. However, conflict can occur in constructive or destructive forms, each of which impacts children exposed to these conflicts in different ways. Previous research suggests that children’s exposure to interparental conflict is associated with later psychological adjustment, with exposure to constructive conflict being related to healthy (or positive) functioning and exposure to destructive conflict being linked to maladaptation. Importantly, much of the prior research has explored children’s adjustment in terms of externalizing and internalizing problems, neglecting other indicators of adjustment such as interpersonal/relational functioning. Grounded in interpersonal theory, the present study examines how exposure to parents’ constructive or destructive conflicts relates to individuals’ interpersonal/relational adjustment. Structural equation modeling was used to explore the relationships among exposure to constructive and destructive interparental conflict, emotional insecurity, and interpersonal functioning. It was found that exposure to constructive interparental conflict predicted reduced emotional insecurity, while exposure to destructive interparental conflict predicted greater emotional insecurity. Exposure to both constructive and destructive interparental conflict directly predicted fewer interpersonal problems related to hostile dominance, as well as greater capacities for empathic connection. Exposure to constructive and destructive interparental conflict did not directly predict interpersonal problems related to friendly submission, or the adaptive outcome of relationship security. Emotional insecurity fully mediated the relationships between constructive and destructive interparental conflict and relationship security. Also, emotional insecurity partially mediated the relationships among constructive and destructive interparental conflict and interpersonal problems due to hostile dominance, and fully mediated the relationships among constructive and destructive interparental conflict and friendly submission. Finally, it was found that gender moderated the two models. Men who were exposed to parents’ destructive conflicts and who also reported greater emotional insecurity were more likely to act out in aggressive, hostile, controlling and dominant ways. Suggestions for marital and family interventions designed to promote more constructive conflict management and to foster emotional security within the family are provided. !

Exposure to Constructive and Destructive Interparental Conflict and Its Relationship to Interpersonal Functioning Conflict commonly occurs and is a normal experience in marital relationships (Cummings and Davies, 2002). This is especially so if one conceptualizes conflict broadly to include all disputes, disagreements, or expressions of negative emotions (Cummings and Davies, 2002). While conflict is inevitable in marriage, the way in which it takes form differentiates between whether the conflict is constructive or destructive in nature. Constructive conflict may include behaviors such as calm discussion, problem solving, support, humor, affection, compromise, apology, agreement to disagree or discuss later, or changing the topic (Cummings, Goeke-Morey, Papp, & Dukewich, 2002; McCoy, Cummings, and Davies, 2009). In contrast, destructive conflict includes behaviors such as physical aggression toward one’s partner or objects, use of threat, verbal and nonverbal hostility, pursuit, withdrawal, and submission. Other dimensions of conflict meriting consideration include: frequency of conflict, duration, intensity, chronicity,

  • Good Character Is What We Look for in a Friend: Character Strengths Are Positively Related to Peer Acceptance and Friendship Quality in Early Adolescents
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2019 Good Character Is What We Look for in a Friend: Character Strengths Are Positively Related to Peer Acceptance and Friendship Quality in Early Adolescents Wagner, Lisa Abstract: This study investigates the role of character strengths in peer relationships among early ado- lescents. A sample of students (N = 339; X฀฀฀ age = 12.84 years, 53.1% female) nominated friends in the classroom and completed assessments of character strengths, the desirability and importance of character strengths in a friend, and friendship quality. Results indicate that the character strengths of honesty, humor, kindness, and fairness were most desirable and important in a friend. Perspective, love, kindness, social intelligence, teamwork, leadership, and humor were associated with higher peer acceptance. Dyadic analyses of mutual best friends suggested that a number of character strengths were also positively related to friend-rated friendship quality. Overall, the results demonstrate the relevance of character strengths for positive peer relationships in adolescents.

Herein, we investigate emotion recognition from posed and spontaneous expressions, comparing classification performance between humans and machine in a cross-corpora investigation. For this, dynamic facial stimuli portraying the six basic emotions were sampled from a broad range of different databases, and then presented to human observers and a machine classifier. Recognition performance by the machine was found to be superior for posed expressions containing prototypical facial patterns, and comparable to humans when classifying emotions from spontaneous displays. In both humans and machine, accuracy rates were generally higher for posed compared to spontaneous stimuli.

  • The Construts of Agreeableness.Pmd
    39 The construct of agreeableness: Facet vs. item level analysis Rebecca A. Newgent, Sang Min Lee, Kristin K. Higgins, and Sean W. Mulvenon University of Arkansas Joanie V. Connors Fayetteville, Arkansas Abstract The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) was developed to operationalize the Five-Factor Model of Personality. Using correlational analysis and confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis, the present study investigates the facet structure of the domain of Agreeableness of the NEO- PI-R at the facet and item level to assess which is a more appropriate level of analysis for interpretation. While the six Agreeableness facets fit the domain, the results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate that the original six facet model at the item level did not fit the data well. Exploratory factor analysis indicates that only 35 of the 48 items associated with the Agreeableness domain had salient loadings on their intended facet. Results indicate that performing item-level factor analysis can produce misleading or un-interpretable results. Implications for research and assessment are discussed. The Construct of Agreeableness: Facet vs. Item Level Analysis The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992a) was originally developed in 1978 as the NEO Inventory. The NEO Inventory consisted of three domain scales and 18 facet scales which measured Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience (Costa & McCrae, 1992b). Scales, consisting of 18 items, were added in 1985 to measure the domains of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, and the inventory was renamed the NEO Personality Inventory. These new domain scales were inadequate in capturing the complete personality picture as the number of items was limited.

    INTERPARENTAL CONFLICT, TODDLER EMOTIONAL SECURITY, PARENTAL EMOTION SOCIALIZATION, AND TODDLER SOCIO-EMOTIONAL OUTCOMES: TESTING DYADIC DYNAMICS USING ACTOR-PARTNER INTERDEPENDENCE MODELS By Young-Eun Lee A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Human Development and Family Studies - Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT INTERPARENTAL CONFLICT, TODDLER EMOTIONAL SECURITY, PARENTAL EMOTION SOCIALIZATION, AND TODDLER SOCIO-EMOTIONAL OUTCOMES: TESTING DYADIC DYNAMICS USING ACTOR-PARTNER INTERDEPENDENCE MODELS By Young-Eun Lee While much literature has focused on interparental conflict, parenting, and children’s socio- emotional outcomes, less research has utilized a dyadic perspective emphasizing the interdependent nature of mother-father relationship with regard to the impacts of interparental conflict on parenting and children’s outcomes. This dissertation provides evidence from two related studies revealing the ways in which mothers’ and fathers’ experiences with interparental conflict affect their own and their partners’ emotion socialization parenting behaviors, toddlers’ emotional security in response to conflict and toddlers’ behavioral outcomes. Utilizing a family-systems approach highlighting the interdependence among family subsystems including the parental subsystem, the goal of the Study 1 was to examine the relations between mothers’ and fathers’ interparental conflict and their emotion socialization behaviors. Dyadic analyses were conducted using multilevel

  • The Facet Atlas: Using Network Analysis to Describe the Blends, Cores, and Peripheries of Personality Structure
    The facet atlas: Using network analysis to describe the blends, cores, and peripheries of personality structure Ted Schwaba, Mijke Rhemtulla, Christopher J. Hopwood, & Wiebke Bleidorn University of California, Davis Objective: We created a facet atlas that maps the interrelations between facet scales from 13 hierarchical personality inventories to provide a practically useful, transtheoretical description of lower-level personality traits. Method: We generated the atlas by estimating a series of network models that visualize the correlations among 268 facet scales administered to the Eugene-Springfield Community Sample (N=1,134). Results: As expected, most facets contained a blend of content from multiple Big Five domains and were part of multiple Big Five networks. We identified core and peripheral facets for each Big Five domain. Discussion: Results from this study resolve some inconsistencies in facet placement across instruments and highlights the complexity of personality structure relative to the constraints of traditional hierarchical models that impose simple structure. The facet atlas (also available as an online point-and-click app) provides a guide for researchers who wish to measure a domain with a limited set of facets as well as information about the core and periphery of each personality domain. To illustrate the value of a facet atlas in applied and theoretical settings, we examined the network structure of scales measuring impulsivity and tested structural hypotheses from the Big Five Aspect Scales inventory. Keywords: personality traits, personality facets, Big Five, network analysis, five-factor model The facet atlas: Using network analysis to describe the blends, cores, and peripheries of personality structure Over the past few decades, a general consensus has emerged regarding the structure of individual differences in higher order personality traits (John, Naumann, & Soto, 2008).

  • The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada
    The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada by Eric Van Rythoven A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2017, Eric Van Rythoven Abstract International Relations (IR) theory commonly holds security arguments as powerful instruments of political mobilization because they work to instill, circulate, and intensify popular fears over a threat to a community. Missing from this view is how security arguments often provoke a much wider range of emotional reactions, many of which frustrate and constrain state officials’ attempts to frame issues as security problems. This dissertation offers a corrective by outlining a theory of the contentious politics of emotion and security. Drawing inspiration from a variety of different social theorists of emotion, including Goffman’s interactionist sociology, this approach treats emotions as emerging from distinctive repertoires of social interaction. These emotions play a key role in enabling audiences to sort through the sound and noise of security discourse by indexing the significance of different events to our bodies. Yet popular emotions are rarely harmonious; they’re socialized and circulated through a myriad of different pathways. Different repertoires of interaction in popular culture, public rituals, and memorialization leave audiences with different ways of feeling about putative threats. The result is mixed and contentious emotions which shape both opportunities and constraints for new security policies. The empirical purchase of this theory is illustrated with two cases drawn from the Canadian context: indigenous protest and the F-35 procurement.

  • Domains and Facets: Hierarchical Personality Assessment Using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory
    JOURNAL OF PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT, 1995,64(1), 21-50 Copyright Q 1995, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Domains and Facets: Hierarchical Personality Assessment Using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory Paul T. Costa, Jr. and Robert R. McCrae Gerontology Research Center National Institute on Aging, NZH Baltimore, MD Personality traits are organized hierarchically, with narrow, specific traits com- bining to define broad, global factors. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992c) assesses personality at bo1.h levels, with six specific facet scales in each of five broad domains. This article describes conceptual issues in specifying facets of a domain and reports evidence on the validity of NEO-PI-R facet scales. Facet analysis-the interpretation of a scale in terms of the specific facets with which it correlates-is illustrated using alternative measures of the five-factor model and occupational scales. Finally, the hierarchical interpretation of personality profiles is discussed. Interpreta- tion on the domain level yields a rapid understanding of the individual; inter- pretation of specific facet scales gives a more detailed assessment. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992c) is a 240-item questionnaire designed to operationalize the five-factor model of personality (FFM; Digman, 1990; McCrae & John, 1992). Over the past decade, the FFM has become a dominant paradigm in personality psy- chology, yet most attention has been focused on the EIig Five factors them- selves, to the neglect of the specific traits that define these factors. In this article we emphasize the facet scales of the NEO-PI-R, discussing the logic behind their development, the evidence of their discriminant validity, and their utility in interpreting the nature of other personality scales.
