Filter by:Given the public health and social relevance of sexual aggression and the gap in the extant literature regarding state anger, emotion regulation, alcohol, and sexual aggression, the present study will contribute to our understanding of emotion regulation's role in sexual aggression perpetration. The proposed 2-year research plan will examine the effects of alcohol intoxication, state anger, and emotion regulation on men's sexual aggression intentions. This study will recruit non-monogamous, men (individuals who identify their gender as male and whose biological sex is male) who have sex with women, ages 21-35. While more research on female perpetrators is needed, the proposed study will exclusively recruit males for the following reasons: 1) the scientific literature indicating the majority of sexually aggressive acts are perpetrated by men; and 2) the current sexual aggression analog has not been piloted with female participants and would require preliminary experiments to determine its appropriateness. The study will utilize a 2x2 design in which participants are randomized to beverage condition [alcohol (target BAC= .08gm%) or control (no alcohol control)] and an emotion induction (anger induction or control). The outcomes will be assessed using a sexual aggression analog which participants will complete on the descending limb of alcohol intoxication and indicate the likelihood that they would engage in various sexually aggressive acts. The study also includes self-report measurements of state anger and emotion regulation to explore emotion regulation as a moderator in the associations among alcohol intoxication, state anger, and sexual aggression intentions.
Aim: The study aims to determine the effect of the anger management program to be implemented by integrating the rhythm component of music with the Gross Process Model of Emotion Regulation on the anger expression and anger types of nursing students determined to be under risk through screenings. Materials and Methods: This single-blind factorial designed randomized experimental research was conducted with three control groups. The study group consisted of third-grade students (N=67) who were determined to have scores above average from The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). The study data were collected with pre-post tests and follow-up measurements using STAXI. The experimental interventions were completed in five sessions after pilot study with a specialist. The data were analyzed using one-way and two-way variance analyses (4x3 Factorial ANOVA). Effect size was measured with ε^2.
The main purpose of this research is evaluate if HBMT reduces HAB in Soldiers, reduces intra-team conflict, improves trust, and improves unit cohesion. A secondary purpose of this research is to test Soldier acceptability and perception of the training. Volunteers will be randomized to a training or placebo version of a computer task designed to reduce HAB and interpersonal conflict. Soldiers will then complete surveys at multiple time intervals before, during, and following deployment. If successful, this research would demonstrate the ability of a computer based training to improve unit cohesion and Soldier attitudes during pre-deployment training and deployment itself.
The purpose of this study is to see how people respond on a word completion task relates to how they behave and respond to situations in the real world. This is a two part research study. At time-point one, participants will fill out some brief personality surveys. They will also read several short scenarios and imagine how they would react and/or interpret these situations in real life. They will also complete a vocabulary task where they will sort word fragments based on type as quickly as they are able. Participants will be asked to return in 24-96 hours for part two where they will repeat a similar scenario reading activity as during time one and fill out a brief questionnaire about your recent behaviors.
The present project partners with leading faith communities in Houston to provide expert-led educational workshops to a diverse sample of adults on normative and concerning response to disaster. Secondly implementing peer-led interventions where a trained adult leads others through an evidence-based manualized intervention. Lastly, identifying and referring individuals who require more intensive services to a higher level of care.
Anger is the mostly commonly reported reintegration concern among combat Veterans, especially those with PTSD. Problematic anger is associated with significant functional impairment. In the current project, the investigators will pilot-test a newly developed mobile app, entitled Mobile Intervention for Reducing Anger (MIRA), among Veterans with PTSD and problematic anger. The project will compare the MIRA app to a contact control condition. The investigators hypothesize that Veterans with PTSD and problematic anger will find the MIRA app acceptable and will be willing to use it to reduce their anger difficulties and improve psychosocial and occupational functioning.
This is an open pilot trial of web-based parent training for tantrums and disruptive behavior in children. Parents will be asked to complete a battery of tests to assess their children' behaviors before and after the intervention. Children will undergo a psychiatric evaluation as part of screening. The intervention will be delivered online via an app over a period of 6 weeks. It consists of 8 self-guided courses that take approximately 10 minutes to complete and include text and animated parent-child simulations. Parents will also complete 3 one-hour videoconferencing sessions with a study clinician. During the intervention, parents will be taught various strategies for managing situations that can be anger provoking for their child. This study is conducted to examine whether a digitally-delivered version of parent-management training can be used to reduce behavioral problems including anger outbursts, irritability, aggression and noncompliance.
This study will test whether making plans of action for situations that trigger anger is effective in reducing anger and aggression in adolescents with behavioural problems. Participants will be assigned to three groups: a control group and two experimental groups. Participants assigned to the experimental groups will receive either one general anger trigger or a list of specific anger triggers in addition to a list of strategies that can be used to manage anger. Participants will be instructed to link the triggers with the strategies, thus creating action plans with an if-then structure. Participants assigned to the control group will receive the same lists. However, they will receive different instructions which will ask them to select separately the most encountered triggers and the most useful strategies. It is expected that making plans will reduce the anger and aggression of participants. It is also expected that the reduction will be larger for participants with low violent intentions, low callous-unemotional traits and low impulsivity.
High trait anger is a personality construct characterized by elevations in the frequency, duration, and intensity of anger episodes. According to many social cognitive theories, hostile interpretations of everyday situations contribute to the development and maintenance of anger symptoms. This study will examine the effectiveness of a computer-based cognitive control training task.
Difficulties with anger control are reported in a number of psychological conditions and are associated with social problems, such as dating violence and workplace violence. High trait anger is a personality construct characterized by elevations in the frequency, duration, and intensity of anger episodes. However, the cognitive processes contributing to high trait anger are still poorly understood. This study will examine the effectiveness of a computer-based cognitive bias modification (CBM) program designed to target hostile interpretations associated with high trait anger.
