Daniel Schacter, Ph.D. (Harvard University) The Seven Sins of Memory: An Update Introduced by Dov Kugelmass, Ph.D. (Three Rivers Community College)

Over a decade ago, I proposed that memory errors could be classified into seven fundamental categories or “sins”: transience, absentmindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. During the past decade, much has been learned about each of the seven sins, especially as a result of research that has combined the methods of psychology and neuroscience. This presentation will provide an update on our current understanding of the seven sins, with a focus on the sins of absent-mindedness (failures of attention that result in memory errors) and misattribution (when information is mistakenly assigned to the wrong source, resulting in memory distortions such as false recognition). I will discuss recent research on absent-mindedness that has examined the role of mind wandering in memory for lectures, and will present evidence indicating that interpolated testing can counter such absent-minded lapses. I will also discuss recent research that has clarified both cognitive and neural aspects of misattribution, and consider evidence for the idea that misattribution and other memory sins can be conceived of as byproducts of otherwise adaptive features of memory.

A Qualitative And Quantitative Analysis Of College Immigrants’ Experiences: Identity, Friendship Formation And Ethnic Conflict

Melissa-Sue John, Ph.D., Ivon Arroyo, Ph.D., Philip Blake & Agatha Gorniesiewicz (Worcester Polytechnic Institute)

Central issues in intercultural interpersonal relationships among US immigrant populations were examined, specifically, the perceptions of identity, intercultural friendship formation and intercultural conflict among Asian, Latino and European college students at a private New England technology school. Through an interpretive analysis of focus groups and statistical analysis of survey data, the study reveals that immigrants’ identification may depend on salient identities, and intercultural friendships are formed based on opportunity, frequent contact, openness to experience, receptivity of other nationals, multicultural ideologies, and experiences with racial/ethnic conflict. Understanding these processes may promote greater intercultural contact and understanding in school settings.

9:15 AM - 9:30 AM (4)

The Intergroup and Identity Processes Underlying Implicit Prejudice Against Hispanics

Alexandra K. Margevich, M.A. (Rutgers University, Newark) & Luis M. Rivera, Ph.D. (Rutgers University, Newark)

In the present research, we investigated whether egalitarian motivations and values, implicit African-American prejudice, explicit Hispanic prejudice, and social desirability concerns relate to implicit Hispanic prejudice. We also tested three predictions: (a) implicit Hispanic attitudes should differ as a function of ethnic-racial group membership (non-Hispanic vs. Hispanic); (b) learning about the historical plight of Hispanics in America should lead to increased ingroup favoritism amongst Hispanics lower in stigma consciousness; and (c) an American group affirmation should lead to increased implicit Hispanic prejudice amongst highly identified non-Hispanic Americans. Our results help elucidate the processes underlying implicit Hispanic prejudice.

9:30 AM - 9:45 AM (5)

The Role Of Gender Status In Implicit And Explicit Negative Self-Stereotyping

Valerie L. Laws (Rutgers University, Newark) & Luis M. Rivera (Rutgers University, Newark)

The structure of society affords men a high social status relative to women. The present research examined if status affects men and women’s implicit and explicit associations between their self-concept and negative stereotypes (i.e., 2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 5 Saturday 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

negative gender self-stereotyping). Participants completed a reaction time measure of self-stereotyping, and self- report measures of self-stereotyping and self-esteem. Results revealed that both men and women exhibited implicit negative self-stereotyping, but only women exhibited explicit negative self-stereotyping. Also, among men and women, strong implicit negative self-stereotyping was marginally associated with high self-esteem; however, strong explicit negative self-stereotyping was not associated with self-esteem.

9:45 AM - 10:00 AM (6)

Women's Negotiations Of Social Discourses Of The Body

Kathryn Abell, B.A. (Clark University). Sponsor: Rachel Falmagne, Ph.D. (Clark University)

Women are the subject of specifically gendered discourses of control regarding the body. Any woman in this social context will have a complicated relationship of acceptance and rejection of these social discourses, particularly when her relationship to feminist ideology is considered. This study examined this qualitatively, taking care to consider the woman as an active agent. Some women appropriated dominant discourses of the body, such as through using health as a justification, or the experience of policing. Others were in conflict with these discourses, while others rejected them outright. Overall demonstrating the salience of these dominant discourses of the body.

The Interaction Between Temperament And Strategy Use In Predicting Delay Of Gratification

Angelica M. Lopez, B.A., Fang Hong, M.A., Stacey N. Doan, Ph.D. (Boston University) & Gary W. Evans, Ph.D. (Cornell University)

This study examines associations between temperaments and children’s ability to delay gratification and the strategies they employ. Additionally, we examined the extent to which strategy use could moderate the effects of temperament. Buss and Plomin’s (1984) EAS temperament survey was given to 350 participants (182 boys). A modified version of the Delay of Gratification task was used. Results showed high levels of activity predicts decreased ability to delay. Additionally, activity level and emotionality were associated with certain types of strategies. Finally, strategy use was found to moderate the effects of temperament on delay time.

Correlates Of Impaired Mother-Infant Bonding In A Partial Hospital Program For Perinatal Women

Laura E. Sockol, M.A. (University of Pennsylvania, Alpert Medical School of Brown University), Cynthia L. Battle, Ph.D. (Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Butler Hospital, Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island), Margaret Howard, Ph.D. (Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island) & Thamara Davis, M.D. (Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island)

Maternal psychiatric illness is a risk factor for impaired mother-infant bonding, but not all women with these illnesses experience impaired bonding. The goal of this study was to investigate correlates of mother-infant bonding in a sample of postpartum women in a partial hospitalization program. Women completed self-report measures of depressive symptoms and mother-infant bonding, and a retrospective chart review assessed demographic characteristics, clinician-rated diagnoses, and obstetric factors. Symptoms of depression, suicidality, demographic characteristics (infant age, number of children, race/ethnicity, marital status, and level of education) and obstetric factors (mode of delivery) were significantly associated with impaired bonding.

The Relationship Between Prenatal Maternal Attitudes And Postpartum Symptoms Of Depression And Anxiety

Laura E. Sockol, M.A. (University of Pennsylvania, Alpert Medical School of Brown University)

Maternal attitudes are a potential risk factor for perinatal emotional maladjustment. The goal of the current study was to assess the relationship between prenatal maternal attitudes and symptoms of depression and anxiety at 12 weeks postpartum in a sample of first-time mothers. Fifty-eight women completed self-report measures of maternal attitudes, cognitive biases, marital satisfaction, social support, and symptoms of depression and anxiety during pregnancy and at 12 weeks postpartum. Maladaptive maternal attitudes during pregnancy were significantly associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety at 12 weeks postpartum, but this relationship was not significant after controlling for prenatal symptom levels.

Predicting Father-Child Relationship Quality From Maternal and Paternal Anxiety

Victoria Aguilera, Fariya Naz, Yeonsoo Yoo & Kari Adamsons (University of Connecticut, Storrs)

Fathering research has shifted from father involvement to father-child relationship quality. Here, we test longitudinal associations between parental anxiety and father-child relationship quality using a sample of 2,207 families from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being study, and whether these associations are moderated by fathers’ resident status. Results indicate that both maternal and paternal anxiety at child age 1 year were associated directly with poorer quality father-child relationships at Year 9; parents’ anxiety also was indirectly associated with relationship quality via father involvement at Year 3. The model fit equally well for resident and nonresident fathers. Implications are discussed. Event Center Room B

Room 331 Symposium The Science of Writing/Writing of Science: Fostering Effective Writing Skills in Undergraduate Psychology Students (51)

Jessye Cohen-Filipic, Ph.D. (Ithaca College) & Bernard C. Beins, Ph.D. (Ithaca College)

Effective writing is integral to an undergraduate education and success beyond college. In many psychology curricula, however, writing is seen as an adjunct to content courses. In our psychology program, we have designed systematic writing experiences as a core component of our curriculum. Our structure includes training for undergraduates who assist in the process by scoring some writing assignments. The goal of the symposium is to illustrate the plan for skill development in writing, how the psychology department incorporates significant writing, and how to focus on critical thought and professional writing. The intended audience is faculty in undergraduate psychology departments. 2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 15 Saturday 10:10 AM - 11:10 AM Third Floor Student Lounge Poster Session II

12:40 PM - 12:55 PM (90)

The Undead Theory: Social Psychology's Explanation For People’s Persistent Belief In Learning Styles Theory

Bethany C. Johnson, Ph.D. (Alfred University)

Copious research has been done from a cognitive psychology perspective debunking Learning Styles Theory, especially the matching hypothesis, and yet educators’ and students’ belief is undeterred. Irrespective of the validity the theory, let us investigate people’s persistent faith from a social psychological perspective. Social psychology is rich with relevant areas of investigation, from social-cognitive phenomena such as heuristics, biases, and predictably flawed reasoning, to identity formation, attributions, locus of control, motivation, social influence, and the entity theory of intelligence. People’s acceptance of Learning Styles Theory being impervious to evidence to the contrary is just as interesting as the theory itself.

Not All Treatments Are Equal: Re-Conceptualizing Treatments That Cause Harm

Adam M. Volungis, Ph.D., Michael McGrath, B.A., Debbie T. Truong, B.S., Suyi Liu, B.S., Katherine Schmidt & Andrea Garry (Assumption College)

Not all treatments are created equal. This potentially provocative statement is an implied premise to the idea of evidence-based treatments (EBTs). While the premise of developing a list of EBTs is noble, there has been some opposition to the practice, including concerns that the criteria used to determine what counts as evidence-based is problematic. We posit that identifying, and creating a list of, potentially harmful treatments (PHTs) is just as important as current lists of EBTs (see Lilienfeld, 2007). We also explore the reason why practitioners still use PHTs despite clear evidence of their ineffective or harmful effects.

Suicide And The Media: A Literature Review And Considerations For The Media Promoting Mental Health

Michael McGrath, B.A., Suyi Liu, B.S., Dena Whittle, B.S. & Adam M. Volungis, Ph.D. (Assumption College)

Does the media have an influence on suicide rates? The focus of this paper is to investigate the current state of the literature, and identify promising directions. In particular, the idea that the media might be able to play an active role in promoting mental health via the Papageno effect will be explored. This paper will also take a tentative look at the 2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 22 Saturday 12:40 PM - 1:40 PM

variables that might be at play in media effects, and consider how research on this topic might be generalized to proposed connections between the media and other behaviors.

When Gun Control Policies Intersect With Mental Health: Psychological Practice Issues, Impacts And Implications

Michael Awad, B.A. (Seton Hall University), Margaret J. Farrelly, Ph.D. (Seton Hall University) & Peggy Brady- Amoon, Ph.D. (Seton Hall University)

Recent mass shootings have spawned new proposed measures to prevent gun violence; creating contentious dialogues nationally. These reforms are also resonating in mental health circles, including New England. Policies have been proposed to restrict firearm access and increase access to mental health services. However, recent and proposed legislation is likely to impede mental health access. This presentation will review the implications of the NY SAFE Act and similar laws that require psychologists’ reporting from ethical, practice, advocacy, and policy- making perspectives. Suggestions for research-informed advocacy and collaboration with policy-makers, mental health professionals and clients will be discussed.

Tony D. Crespi, Ed.D., A.B.P.P. (University of Hartford), Moderator, Edward Ameen, Ph.D. (American Psychological Association of Graduate Students), Denise Laframboise, Ph.D. (Hamden, Connecticut) & Mackenzie L. McNamara, M.S. (University of Hartford)

Choosing a graduate program can be daunting. In point of fact, many programs reject large numbers of applicants. Unfortunately, many applicants are unaware of the relevant factors that distinguish programs. This symposium is intended to increase students' savvy before submitting an application. Masters or Doctorate? Ph.D. or Psy.D.? Clinical Psychology or School Psychology? What can I expect following graduation? This panel will examine options and opportunities. There will be ample opportunity for questions and discussion with a group of expert panelists, including a student who will offer a reflective perspective. Critical questions that will be explored and discussed include: What kind of graduate program is right for me? What tips can create a winning application? What questions should I ask in the interview? What are the factors to help me distinguish schools?What should I know about debt and student loans? What can I expect in terms of career options and salary? Part II: Entering The Academic Marketplace: Advice From Experts For Those Thinking About Becoming A Professor (96)

Tony D. Crespi, Ed.D., A.B.P.P. (University of Hartford), Moderator, Edward Ameen, Ph.D. (American Psychological Association of Graduate Students), the New England Psychological Association Steering Committee, and all interested colleagues

What is the “right” academic job, and what does it take to land it? This workshop is designed for aspiring academics who are currently graduate students and postdocs. Five questions and others regarding the professoriate will be discussed. Expert panelists will share their insights, with plenty of opportunity for discussion--all for the future members of the profession: you! Five essential questions for the aspiring academic will be presented and explored: What are the major rewards and challenges of an academic career? Which are unique to your institution or type of institution? What are the biggest “turn ons” and “turn offs” about job candidates who are applying to your department? Given the current economic climate, do you have any suggestions that might increase the chances of obtaining a job in academia? Are there some types of institutions that are more likely to be hiring than others? How do you maintain a work-life balance? If a job isn’t forthcoming after graduate school, what sorts of jobs might serve as acceptable stop-gaps until an academic job opens? 2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 25 Saturday 12:40 PM - 1:40 PM Event Center Room B Science & Society Symposium (97)

Supported by the American Psychological Association Science Directorate Using Science to Address Some of the Hottest Societal Issues Introduced by Jeanine Skorinko, Ph.D. (Worcester Polytechnic Institute)

In this symposium, three researchers will present their empirical work that addresses some of the current and more hotly debated social issues, including immigration, autism, and bullying of LGBT individuals. In particular, the researchers will present their findings looking at discrimination towards immigrants, the neuromechanisms for autism, and how homophobic behaviors influence developmental outcomes for LGBT individuals. Shaun Wiley, Ph.D. (The College of New Jersey) "There's a Place for Us": Stigma, Identity, and Social Change among U.S. Immigrants of Color

Discrimination is a pervasive problem for first- (i.e., those born outside the United States) and second-generation immigrants (i.e., those born in the United States to at least one immigrant parent), who together make up 24% of the United States population. Immigrants perceive discrimination in state and federal policies and in everyday interactions, based on their race, language, accent, national origin, or immigrant status. Discrimination has been associated with negative psychosocial outcomes in immigrant populations, including diminished physical health and psychological well-being, as well as lower academic engagement. In this presentation, I will discuss the consequences of discrimination for immigrants’ civic engagement and the critical role of immigrants’ ethnic and national identities in explaining these effects. Kevin Pelphery, Ph.D. (Harris Professor in the Yale Child Study Center) Searching for Neuroendophenotypes of Autism

As humans, we are constantly engaging in acts of social cognition, using cues from facial expressions, gaze shifts, and body movements to infer the intentions of others and plan our own actions accordingly. In this lecture, I will describe my laboratory’s research using functional neuroimaging techniques including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to identify the brain mechanisms for social cognition in typically developing children and adults. Our work has served to characterize the functional properties and development, from

2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 26 Saturday 12:40 PM - 1:40 PM infancy to adulthood of a set network of interacting, distributed neuroanatomical structures dedicated to processing social meaning. With this understanding of the typical development of the neural basis of social cognition as a backdrop, I will describe our more recent efforts to chart the development of these brain mechanisms in children with autism, as well as their unaffected siblings. Our work in children with autism and their siblings has revealed three types of neural signatures: (i) state activity, related to the state of having autism that characterizes the nature of disruption in brain circuitry; (ii) trait activity, reflecting shared areas of dysfunction in children with autism and their unaffected siblings, thereby providing a promising neuroendophenotype to facilitate efforts to bridge genomic complexity and disorder heterogeneity; and (iii) compensatory activity, unique to unaffected siblings, suggesting a neural system­level mechanism by which unaffected siblings might compensate for an increased genetic risk for developing autism. Paul Poteat, Ph.D. (Boston College) Understanding and Reducing Bias-Based Harassment and Victimization in Schools

Bullying and harassment remain ubiquitous for many students. This is especially the case for students from marginalized groups. In particular, homophobic victimization is common among sexual minority (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender youth; LGBT) and heterosexual youth. For both, it is associated with physical, mental, and behavioral health and academic concerns. Of importance, bias-based harassment carries elevated consequences compared to bullying absent of bias. This presentation will cover a range of individual and contextual factors that underlie homophobic behavior and its development; the processes by which homophobic victimization predicts these concerns for youth; and, factors that promote resilience among youth who experience this victimization and that promote safer schools. Room 331 Symposium Sleep and Technology Use in College Students: Study Findings, Methodological Issues and Future Directions (98)

Sue K. Adams, Ph.D. (The University of Rhode Island), Jennifer F. Daly, B.A. (The University of Rhode Island) & Desiree’ Williford (The University of Rhode Island)

College students are a sleep deprived population and have become increasingly vulnerable to sleep deprivation resulting from technology use. The 24/7 connectivity to smart phones and social networking sites has both delayed the time of sleep onset as well as interferes with sleep throughout the night. The purpose of this symposium is to present a collection of 3 research studies, both quantitative and qualitative, conducted over 4 years examining the impact of technology use on college student’s sleep. The presenters will also discuss methodological issues of conducting this type of research. This symposium is intended for students, faculty and administrators.

Electrophysiology Of Error-Processing In College Students With Inattentive And Combined ADHD

Kathryn M. Hakanson-Stacy, B.A. (Gordon College), Elizabeth C. Loy (Gordon College), Bryan C. Auday, Ph.D. (Gordon College), Trevor Hinshaw (Gordon College), Allee Keener (Gordon College), Carissa Filip, B.A. (Gordon College) & Elaine Hong (Gordon College)

Investigators have been exploring the underlying brain processes implicated in the abnormal symptomology associated with ADHD. One line of investigation involves looking into the neurophysiological correlates of error processing—something that is problematic for those who suffer from ADHD on specific kinds of tasks. Eighteen adults with ADHD completed a demanding cognitive task while their brain waves were being recorded. Two event- related brain potentials (ERN/Pe) were time-locked to trials in which an error was made. Consistent with previous results that used adolescents, no significant abnormalities were found between those with ADHD and normal controls.

A Memory Model Approach To The DRM Effect

Erin Warren, M.A. (Tufts University) & Richard Chechile, Ph.D. (Tufts University)

Memory researchers have completed extensive research involving the DRM paradigm. In the DRM, semantically related words activate a semantic network such that after repeated presentation of related words, participants falsely recall a critical item that is semantically related to the presented words. In these two experiments, we applied a novel approach involving a new mathematical model (Chechile, Sloboda, & Chamberland, 2012) that is able to quantitatively separate explicit memory, implicit memory, fractional storage, and non-storage. Our results suggest that both explicit and implicit memory parameters increase as the number of lures increase, in the DRM paradigm.

2:20 PM - 2:35 PM (136)

The Social Brain Network: Empathy, Face Recognition And Psychopathy

William Shoemaker, Ph.D. (Departments of Psychiatry & Neuroscience, Univ. of Connecticut Health Center)

The Social Brain Network is a recently described collection of brain structures that are involved in social behavior. Much of the information about these brain structures comes from individuals that have brain lesions. The little experimental work on this system is done in primates, since lower animals have much smaller networks. One of the

2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 32 Saturday 1:50 PM - 2:50 PM

earliest-described components of the social brain network are the mirror neurons of the inferior frontal gyrus. The original research on mirror neurons will be described and their relationship to autism will be made. Similarly, the fusiform face area in the ventral temporal lobe will be linked to prosopagnosia. The ventro-medial Pre Frontal Cortex will also be highlighted as responsible for impulsive, often violent behaviors and the lack of empathy, lack of remorse and lack of guilt.

2:35 PM - 2:50 PM (137)

The Social Brain Network: The Development of Psychopathy in Young Children

William Shoemaker, Ph.D. (Departments of Psychiatry & Neuroscience, Univ. of Connecticut Health Center)

Newborns and infants require an abundance of stimulation, including face-to-face contact, tactile and other sensory modality stimulation. Furthermore, infants are extremely sensitive to interactions that lack empathy and react with distress to this perception. Because of this sensitivity and other findings, it has long been suspected that traumas, abuse and neglect that occur in early life can result in a permanently impaired CNS. A recent finding, however, offers clear cellular evidence toward the possibility that severe stressful episodes in early life can substantially alter brain development; moreover, these findings point to a situation in the first year of life that can lead to adult psychopathy.

Room 331 Symposium

Mindfully Abusing: Clinical Applications Of Mindfulness In Treating Addiction (138)

Peter J. Economou, Ph.D. (Felician College) & Vanessa Chafos, M.A. (Felician College)

New data on addiction and the use of mindfulness has emerged suggesting that negative affect and cravings are key indicators of the probability one will relapse (Witkiewitz, Lustyk, & Bowen, 2012). Research shows promising outcomes in the treatment of addiction with the use of mindfulness-based practice, particularly with decreasing the high dropout rate identified among substance abusers (SAMHSA, 2011). Using mindfulness may also help reduce some of the costly effects of addiction, such as lowering morbidity and mortality (Rehm et al., 2009). An overview of evidence-based studies that support the efficacy of mindfulness-based practice are discussed in this symposium.

The Allure Of Fame And The Social Self: An Examination Of Multiple Dimensions And Motives

Dara Greenwood, Ph.D. (Vassar College)

Results of two survey studies (Mturk and undergraduate samples) demonstrate the utility of a new fame appeal measure and its links to the social self-concept. Across both samples, narcissism and belonging needs predicted Visibility and Status appeals of fame, whereas relatedness (Study 1) and empathy (Study 2) predicted Prosocial appeals of fame. Study 2 also indicated associations between fame appeal and contingent self-worth; self-worth staked in appearance predicted Visibility and Status appeals of fame whereas self-worth staked in virtue was inversely related to Visibility and Status. The cultural context, psychological allure, and implications of fame aspirations are discussed.

An Exploratory Study Of Personal Characteristics, Online Communication And Relationship Building Preferences Among Internet Users

Sukanya Ray, Ph.D. (Suffolk University), Quan Diep (Suffolk University) & Daniel Cronin, B.S. (Suffolk University)

This study examined the offline characteristics (self-esteem, social reticence, and emotional intelligence) and online preferences (communication and relationship building) among internet users. The study explored offline characteristics and online preferences among 90 adult users, across sex (40 male and 50 female) and partner status (56 with and 34 without partner) groups. Participants completed self-report questionnaires online. Results indicated that users with partners differed significantly on personal readiness than their counterparts. Internet users’ preference for online communication showed a significant positive correlation with social reticence scores (offline characteristic). Implications of these findings have been discussed in terms of users’ interpersonal dynamics.

The Influence Of Number Of ‘Likes’ And Priming Information On Evaluations Of Facebook Status Updates

Karol Maybury, Ph.D., Lacey Tatosky, Ansel Mallonee, B.A. (University of Maine, Farmington) & Amanda DeCarlo (University of North Carolina, Asheville)

In a 2 X 2, between-subjects study, we examined whether the number of ‘like’ (high or low) and priming information (neutral or neurotic) impacts evaluations of Facebook status updates. Eighty-four undergraduates from 2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 39 Saturday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

two public universities evaluated six status updates by a female college student and then rated her on various characteristics (popularity, likeability, intelligence). Compatible with the hypothesis, we found that people generally rated the poster and the status updates more positively if a large number of others had ‘liked’ the status, and if her prior updates were neutral (vs. neurotic). The implications of these results are examined.

Vlogs can be a public “archive of feelings” for those struggling to make-meaning of minority stress (Cvetkovich, 2003, p. 81). Using an applied cultural-historical analysis this study explores how six transgender women made- meaning of 5 salient conflict contexts across 288 vlogs: transitioning process length, social ignorance of transgender community, depression, body image dissatisfaction, and transitioning anxiety. Frequency and narrative analyses indicate that vloggers primarily mediated their experience by lending support and educating others in similar circumstances, illustrating the moderating effects of peer support on the mental health outcomes of transgender people (Bockting et al., 2013). Event Center A Festschrift In Honor and Remembrance of Joan Bombace, Ph.D. (Professor of Psychology at Quinnipiac University and Past President of the New England Psychological Association) (183)

On September 3, 2013 our long-time friend and colleague, Joan C. Bombace, Ph.D. passed away. Joan dedicated her life to promoting quality student research. Joan spent the majority of her academic career at Quinnipiac University, where she founded the Behavioral Neuroscience program, guiding students in life and in research. Joan was a long-term member, past-president, and officer of the New England Psychological Association. Joan worked tirelessly to promote student involvement in the Association, and we will miss her spirit of collegiality and integrity. Please join us in Event Center A for a short presentation remembering Joan, and those who wish, are welcome to share memories of and anecdotes about Joan. 2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 40 Saturday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Event Center C Psi Chi Invited Address (184) Keith Cruise, Ph.D. (Fordham University) Myths And Misperceptions About Mental Illness And Violence Introduced by Deborah Harris O’Brien, Ph.D. (Eastern Region Psi Chi Vice-President)

Dr. Cruise was trained in clinical-forensic psychology and the law, and his research interests are closely connected to clinical practice, especially in the areas of assessment and treatment of legal defendants with an emphasis on justice-involved youth. His specific research interests include juvenile risk assessment/ management, juvenile psychopathy, juvenile sexual offending, PTSD, suicide and non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors. Recent research projects have included projects investigating aggression, PTSD, and non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors in at-risk samples of adolescents. Dr. Cruise’s clinical work primarily has focused on assessment and treatment of youth involved in the juvenile justice system; he has provided consultation services to local and state juvenile probation and detention programs in the development of mental health service delivery systems for justice-involved youth.

Psychological Abuse Scripts: What Do College Students Report?

Nicole M. Capezza, Ph.D., (Stonehill College), Andrea Aiken (Stonehill College) & Tina Abi-Jaoude (Stonehill College)

This study examined responses to an open-ended question about what occurs when one person psychologically abuses another. A sample of 97 college students completed a survey. Two independent coders examined each open- ended response for 17 specific components of psychological abuse. We found that the majority (61.9%) of

participants indicated verbal abuse/verbal criticism as one feature of psychological abuse. Only 5 of the 17 components of psychological abuse were mentioned by more than 5% of the sample, suggesting that perceptions of psychological abuse are very narrow. More education about the complexity of psychological abuse is needed.

Effect Of Cataract Surgery On Depression And Vision-Related Quality Of Life In An Elderly Population

Paige B. Martin (University of Maine, Orono) & K. Lira Yoon, Ph.D (University of Maine, Orono)

The project was designed to study the relationships between cataract surgery and depression and vision-related quality of life in an elderly population. Two groups were studied: participants undergoing cataract surgery and a wait-list control group. Levels of depression and vision-related quality of life were assessed at baseline and at one- month post-surgery/baseline point. Changes in depressive symptoms did not differ between the two groups; however, vision-related quality of life and visual acuity significantly increased with cataract removal surgery.

Depressed Mood Among College Students With Ongoing Symptoms Of Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

Kenneth S. Walters, Ph.D., Tonilynn Bocchino & Michelle Burke (Southern Connecticut State University)

This study examined the tendency toward markedly increased symptoms of depressed mood among college students with ongoing Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Symptoms of ADHD and depressed mood were assessed with standardized clinical instruments. Scores were used to identify college students with ongoing symptoms of ADHD persisting into young adulthood. Compared to normal peers, those with ongoing

2013 NEPA Annual Meeting Page 42 Saturday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

ADHD symptoms demonstrated a pattern of significantly increased depressed mood. That pattern was evident across scales separately measuring cognitive, affective, and physiological symptoms of depression. Results further indicated that depressive symptoms were more strongly correlated with ADHD symptoms of inattention than hyperactivity-impulsivity.

Helping Or Hurting? The Impact Of Fear On Student Learning Experiences

Jeffrey Perrin, Ph.D. (Lesley University), Jennifer O'Neil, M.S.W. (Lesley University), Laura Bryson, B.A. (Lesley University) & Ashley Grimes (Lesley University)

In this presentation, we will discuss research investigating the relationship between fear and learning. Specifically, our research is guided by three questions: (1) What types of fears are associated with learning? (2) What is the relationship between fear and motivation? (3) Does fear hinder or help learning? We conducted semi-structured interviews with students enrolled in a graduate school. Thematic analysis revealed three patterns within the data relating to fear and learning: fear of disappointing instructor, fear of disappointing parents and fear of judgment by peers. Participants’ accounts of the relationship between reported fears and learning and motivation will be discussed. Third Floor Student Lounge Poster Session V

In Memory of Joan Bombace, Ph.D. (Quinnipiac University) A Long-Time Member and Leader Joan Carol Bombace, Ph.D., of Hamden, Connecticut passed away with her family by her side on September 3, 2013. A professor of psychology at Quinnipiac University, Joan held numerous leadership positions over the course of her distinguished career, including Chair of the Psychology Department and Director of the Behavioral Neuroscience Program at Quinnipiac, President of the New England Psychological Association, Eastern Regional Consultant to Psi Chi, and a Mellon Faculty Fellowship at Yale University. In addition to her mentorship of scores of research projects with psychology and biology undergraduates at Quinnipiac, Joan was the founder and leader of the highly successful Quinnipiac University Interdisciplinary Program for Research and Scholarship, which provides talented students with a summer stipend to further their research agendas. Joan's own research interests included Pavlovian learning in animals and humans, the behavioral effects of psychoactive drugs, and the motivational bases of learning, resulting in innumerable research presentations and publications in major professional venues. Joan received her B.A. from Quinnipiac University, her M.A. from Southern Connecticut State University, and her Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Joan traveled at every opportunity, taking trips throughout Europe and to Hawaii, California, Costa Rica, Russia, Egypt, China, and the Galapagos Islands, along with several cruises.

The members and officers of the New England Psychological Association thank Joan for her many years of service to the profession and the Association, for the friendship and collegiality she extended to all, and for the example she set for junior and senior members of our vocation.
