Here's your chance to read some of the research based papers I have written. Some of the papers are merely hypothetical research proposals, others I have completed statistical analyses, and one is a review.

These are APA-style papers I have written for classes. They are unpublished!!! I repeat, these are the works of a college student. The papers are for whomever to look through to get a better understanding for my writing abilities and research interests. As a side note, these are replicas of the papers I turned in; they are by far not perfect and contain simple errors. However, I did receive high marks on all the papers.

I will give you a brief overview of the papers. The first paper listed in one I wrote my first year at UGA. This paper is basically a hypothetical APA paper without statistical analyses. This paper is about TV violence and its implications. The next paper I wrote my second year. This paper has some statistical results, but they are generalized meaning my TA gave me some numbers in which I ran the analyses. No participants were run with this one. This paper is about the labeling theory and the possible harm it may cause children and adolescents. The music paper is about music and aggression. This paper I wrote for my Social Psychology class. here, we actually ran the class as participants and conducted all the analyses. The MAE paper is one I recently wrote for my Sensation and Perception class. The entire class participated in the project, but our TA ran the stats. The comorbidity paper is one I wrote as an honors project for the internship I participated in. This paper is a review on the comorbidity of CD and ADHD.

I also have a manual for sexual disorders that I wrote for an Honors project in my Psychology of Human Sexuality (Psych 3260). This manual was intended for a computerized treatment program Dr. Nader Amir was working on. He currently has a similar computerized treatment program for anxiety, one of his research interets. This file is HUGE, but if you are interested in reading it email me.

My last paper is not on file yet, but I will describe it briefly. For my graduate level cognitive psychology course, I was to relate some area of interest to cognitive psychology. The paper I wrote about was a review on Diabetes and Conitive Functioning. What I found was quite disturbing, being a person with diabetes. The research is lacking in most places, but what seems to be happening is that poor metabolic ocntrol of diabetes is strongly related to cognitive dysfunctioning (i.e. memory loss, lower IQ for children, and brain deterioration). So, the moral of this story is to take good care of yourself.

A fellow research assistant and I are working on a poster submission about emotional understanding and the implications it may have for emotional and behavioral adjustment in maltreated children. The conference is not until February 23, 2001.
