    Searching for the Kinkeepers : Historian Gender, Age, and Type 2 Diabetes Family History
    SAGE Publications ; 2015

    Abstract: Kinkeepers facilitate family communication and may be key to family medical history collection and dissemination. Middle-aged women are frequently kinkeepers. Using type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as a model, we explored whether the predicted gender and age effects of kinkeeping can be extended to family medical historians. Through a U.S. telephone survey, nondiabetic Mexican Americans ( n = 385), Blacks ( n = 387), and Whites ( n = 396) reported family histories of T2DM. Negative binomial regressions used age and gender to predict the number of affected relatives reported. Models were examined for the gender gap, parabolic age effect, and gender-by-age interaction predicted by kinkeeping. Results demonstrated support for gender and parabolic age effects but only among Whites. Kinkeeping may have application to the study of White family medical historians, but not Black or Mexican American historians, perhaps because of differences in family structure, salience of T2DM, and/or gender roles.

    Exploring the Public Understanding of Basic Genetic Concepts

    Abstract: It is predicted that the rapid acquisition of new genetic knowledge and related applications during the next decade will have significant implications for virtually all members of society. Currently, most people get exposed to information about genes and genetics only through stories publicized in the media. We sought to understand how individuals in the general population used and understood the concepts of “genetics” and “genes.” During in‐depth one‐on‐one telephone interviews with adults in the United States, we asked questions exploring their basic understanding of these terms, as well as their belief as to the location of genes in the human body. A wide range of responses was received. Despite conversational familiarity with genetic terminology, many noted frustration or were hesitant when trying to answer these questions. In addition, some responses reflected a lack of understanding about basic genetic science that may have significant implications for broader public education measures in genetic literacy, genetic counseling, public health practices, and even routine health care.

    Graduate training during the COVID‐19 pandemic: North American genetic counseling students' challenges, intolerance of uncertainty, and psychological well‐being
    Wiley ; 2021
    In:  Journal of Genetic Counseling Vol. 30, No. 5 ( 2021-10), p. 1325-1335

    In: Journal of Genetic Counseling, Wiley, Vol. 30, No. 5 ( 2021-10), p. 1325-1335
    Abstract: The COVID‐19 pandemic has upended genetic counseling (GC) graduate students’ lives, as they have been forced to transition, manage, and acclimate to life during a pandemic. The current study is a first step in understanding their lived experiences during this historic, global event. We investigated academic and personal challenges, intolerance of uncertainty, and psychological well‐being of GC students ( n  = 248) who trained during the pandemic (GC‐COV cohort) and those who did not (GC‐NoCOV cohort). Participants completed an online survey (July–September 2020) that used validated measures of Intolerance of Uncertainty and Psychological Well‐Being. To assess the academic and personal challenges students experienced during GC graduate training, we developed a 43‐item measure. Principal axis factoring of the items revealed categories of challenges related to the following: Academic & Professional Development, Self‐Regulation & Resilience, Institutional & Program Leadership, and Financial Stability. There was no cohort difference in Psychological Well‐Being. Linear mixed‐effects modeling showed significant cohort differences in challenges. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that the GC‐COV cohort's Psychological Well‐Being was statistically significantly predicted by Institutional & Program Leadership challenges ( p  = .029), Self‐Regulation & Resilience challenges ( p  = .013), and Intolerance of Uncertainty ( p  = .010). For the GC‐NoCOV cohort, the statistically significant predictor of Psychological Well‐Being was Self‐Regulation & Resilience challenges ( p  = .029). Our findings demonstrate that GC students training during the COVID‐19 pandemic have experienced various personal, academic, and psychological disruptions and highlight a need to develop resources and implement interventions supporting students’ academic development and psychological well‐being.

    Non‐invasive prenatal screening for trisomy 21: Consumers' perspectives
    Wiley ; 2016

    In: American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Wiley, Vol. 170, No. 2 ( 2016-02), p. 375-385
    Abstract: Non‐invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) has the potential to dramatically increase the prenatal detection rate of Down syndrome because of improvements in safety and accuracy over existing tests. There is concern that NIPS could lead to more negative attitudes towards Down syndrome and less support for individuals with Down syndrome. To assess the impact of NIPS on support for prenatal testing, decision‐making about testing, and beliefs or attitudes about Down syndrome, we performed an Internet‐based experiment using adults (N = 1,789) recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants were randomly assigned to read a mock news article about NIPS, a mock news article about amniocentesis, or no article. The content in the two articles varied only in their descriptions of the test characteristics. Participants then answered questions about their support for testing, hypothetical testing decision, and beliefs and attitudes about Down syndrome. Reading the mock NIPS news article predicted increased hypothetical test uptake. In addition, the NIPS article group also agreed more strongly that pregnant women, in general, should utilize prenatal testing. We also found that the more strongly participants supported prenatal testing for pregnant women, the less favorable their attitudes towards individuals with Down syndrome; providing some evidence that NIPS may indirectly result in more negative perceptions of individuals with this diagnosis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Operant Conditioning Concepts in Introductory Psychology Textbooks and Their Companion Web Sites

    Abstract: Psychology instructors and textbook authors rate operant conditioning as one of the most essential concepts for students to learn, yet textbook writers, as well as students, can fall prey to misconceptions. This study is a content analysis of the presentation of operant conditioning in introductory psychology textbooks and their companion Web sites to discover if these information sources assist student learning or add to confusion. Results indicate that the failure to refer to changes in the likelihood of the organism's behavior when discussing operant conditioning was extremely common; this problem should be remedied to reduce students' misunderstandings.

    Incorporating a Discussion of Genetic Attributions Into Psychology Courses
    SAGE Publications ; 2018

    Abstract: A highly relevant construct that may need more emphasis in our psychology courses is genetic attributions. Attributions are causal explanations people make for specific behaviors, characteristics, occurrences, or differences. Research has found that genetic attributions are related to numerous biopsychosocial phenomena (e.g., perceptions about one’s own health, attitudes toward others) that impact individuals and societies. Unfortunately, often these causal attributions are linked to problematic outcomes. For example, genetic attributions for the etiology of illness are often associated with decreased personal control and well-being. Additionally, genetic attributions for group differences are related to psychological essentialism (i.e., the belief that members of a group all share a deep, underlying “essence”), which, in turn, tends to be associated with stereotyping and prejudice. With the following brief overview of theoretical and empirical work related to genetic attributions, I discuss how instructors can incorporate discussions of this important concept into their psychology courses.
