Dr. Daniel DeCino Publishes Research on Higher Education Faculty Mentoring
|
Dr. Daniel DeCinco, Counseling and Psychology in Education, recently published a paper in the journal
International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching in Education.
The article, titled
Duoethnography: A Mechanism for Higher Education Faculty Mentoring,
aimed to describe how duoethnography can cultivate peer mentorship and further understand the experiences of first-year faculty.
He found that the duoethnography as a method is helpful for maintaining peer mentorship, and themes of navigating tenure, holding hope, and balancing and finding place in the department. This research can help higher education faculty promote mentorship, critical dialogue, collaboration, and transformation through duoethnography.

Dr. Drew Pickett Publishes Research on Sexual and Gender Identity and Measurement Refinement
|
Dr. Drew Pickett, Kinesiology and Sport Management, published research in Journal of American College Health. Titled
Measurement Implications Associated with Refinement of Sexual and Gender Identity Survey Items: A Case Study of the National College Health Assessment,
this research aimed to measure psychometric impact associated with changes to sexual and gender identity survey questions included on the National College Health Assessment (NCHA). They found that when transgender was moved as a gender category rather than a sexual orientation category, scale reliability for cisgender men and women, gay and lesbian, and bisexual groups improved. This shows that the lack of exclusivity of gender and sexual identities on questionnaires can result in a poorer measurement of social characteristics and behaviors, and researchers should make sure their assessments are inclusive and accurate demographic terms.

|
Dr. Harry Freeman, Counseling and Psychology in Education, recently published an article in the journal
Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology
. Titled
Temperament in the Prediction of Proximal versus Distal Expectancies: An Acquired Preparedness Model,
this study
examined the role of temperament in predicting alcohol problems. They
looked at whether effortful control would be inversely associated with drinking, mediated through consequence expectancies. Findings suggest that reactivity is indirectly associated with drinking and problems through stimulating expectancies as a mediator. People who were more reactive tended to show increased weekly drinking and alcohol problems.
