Social, Emotional, Cognitive, and Physiological Correlates of Electronic Social Behavior
… almost no research examining positive electronic behavior. The primary goal of this dissertation was to use the General Aggression Model and Anxious Apprehension Model of Trauma to explore the underlying cognitive, emotional, and self-regulation processes that are related to electronic bullying, …

Changing small group interaction through visual reflections of social behavior
… of resources, information, and skills. Yet social psychologists have determined that groups rarely harness this potential. This thesis proposes that technology in face-to-face settings can be used to address the social factors that have damaging influence on group decision-making processes. …

Social Behavior and Cognitive Bias in the Domestic Dog (Canis familiaris)
Investigation of individual differences in behavior has increased in recent decades, with implications for both applied and basic science. Research with species that have evolved alongside humans presents an opportunity to improve understanding and welfare simultaneously. This dissertation first …
