In Syrian hamsters, circadian rhythms can be phase shifted by light at night or by behavioural arousal during the day (usual sleep period). Previous work in this lab has defined arousal procedures that have differential clock resetting effects; arousal stimulated by running in a…
This study established the maturational time line for Brienomyrus niger and identified discrete developmental stages, characterized by the appearance of prominent osteological sexual dimorphisms (support structures of the anal-fin). The study proceeded with an investigation of a…
Following social defeat, male hamsters exhibit behavioral changes characterized by a breakdown of normal territorial aggression and an increase in submissive/defensive behaviors in the presence of a non-aggressive intruder (NAI). We have termed this phenomenon conditioned defeat…
The current study was designed to examine the Profiles of Prevention among non-drinking and non-smoking adolescents. Research across age groups (elementary, middle and high school), populations (U.S., U.K., and Israel), and substances (tobacco, alcohol and other drugs) has consi…
In 2002 Functional Family Parole (FFP), a family-based approach to parole based on Functional Family Therapy (FFT), was implemented across the state of Washington due to questions regarding the effectiveness of traditional parole services in reducing recidivism among juvenile pa…
The objectives of this study were to investigate if female baboons exercise choice for mating partners and to examine the influence of female behavior on hybridization between anubis and hamadryas baboons in the Awash National Park hybrid zone in central Ethiopia. Female behavio…
Multinational flight crews are becoming common in cockpits of many international air carriers. Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia), a government-owned air carrier with flight crew staffing from 37 nationalities, serves as a model for international carriers of the developing world. M…
As rates of HIV/AIDS continue to rise among youth in sub-Saharan Africa, the need for behavioral intervention to reduce rates of HIV/AIDS infection is becoming increasingly evident, The present study examined the association between risk and/or protective factors and HIV-hazardo…
Circadian rhythms in the Syrian hamster can be adjusted by inducing the animal to become active during its usual sleep period. This type of clock resetting is distinct from clock resetting by light, and is thus known as nonphotic phase shifting. Although the prevailing view has …
The problem. The study was designed to investigate whether a relationship exists between the Situational Leadership model and employer-employee expectations. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant relationship between supervisor flexibility and effectiveness style…
The purpose of this study was to examine causal attributions for winning and losing among professional Saudi soccer players, coaches, and administrators. The study also examined the attributions athletes gave to their coaches after a loss, the effect of audience on attribution f…
Hemispheric asymmetry for processing printed material was examined for Urdu-English bilinguals in a series of experiments that presented material briefly to the right visual field/left hemisphere (RVF/LH), left visual field/right hemisphere (LVF/RH) or to both visual fields simu…
Most research on health behavior change programs examines their effectiveness in producing initial behavior changes, but fails to evaluate long-term maintenance of those changes. This study examined the effectiveness of the Cooper Wellness Program (CWP) in Dallas, Texas, in prom…
The study examines the determinants of contraceptive use and method choice in Bangladesh by utilizing the 1996-97 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey which is the most recently conducted national survey. The present study has attempted to measure Coale's three preconditions…
Five experiments were concerned with the occurrence of one behavior. i.e., head-banging, under conditions of reinforcement, extinction, limited reinforcement, and choice when an alternative behavior, i.e., key-pecking, was reinforced under a variety of reinforcement schedules. T…
Mating behavior in the male Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is dependent on chemosensory cues and gonadal steroids, and the limbic system pathways important for processing these two signals have been identified. In the experiments described in this dissertation, I have uti…
