• RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Dissertation, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, completed, September 1999. Dissertation Topic: The association of family history of coronary heart disease, sex, psychosocial vulnerability, and hostility among college students.
Duties: Conducting empirical research exploring the relationship between hostility and social support among college students whose parents have a history of coronary heart disease. In addition to illuminating the contributions of heredity and environment to cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of hostility, research findings are expected to have implications for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
Chairperson: Charles Emery, Ph.D.

Doctoral Candidacy Examination, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, completed, June 1997. Examination Paper Topic: Hostility and coronary heart disease: A quantitative review of the psychosocial vulnerability model.
Duties: Conducted a meta-analysis to explicate the psychosocial vulnerability model of the relationship between hostility and coronary heart disease. By examining empirical research on the psychosocial vulnerability model (with the construct of psychosocial vulnerability operationalized as a deficient quantity and quality of social support), the meta-analysis addressed two main questions: (1) Is hostility associated with greater psychosocial vulnerability? and (2) Is there a relationship between psychosocial vulnerability and coronary heart disease?

2. Examining the relationship between child/adolescent abductions and adolescent sexual offending. Funded by a federal grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, this study examined adolescent sexual offenders’ modus operandi in a six-state sample of incarcerated and non-incarcerated offenders.
3. TQM sex offender treatment evaluation. Funded by a grant from the State of Ohio, Governor’s Office of Criminal Justice Services, this project was designed to facilitate the development of a comprehensive adolescent sexual offender assessment/treatment continuum for use by the State of Ohio, Department of Youth Services.
