RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS

1988 The Ohio State University, Columbus Ohio. Advisor: Lyle D. Schmidt, Ph.D. Dissertation for Ph.D. in Psychology. Social Influence constructs: Inferences from a pain management population. Ohio State University Library OCLC # 20139045. This study used trend analysis to evaluate change in patients' perceptions of clinician expertness, trustworthiness, and attractiveness over the course of their 4-week inpatient pain management treatment. Patients differentially rated their physician, psychologist, and psychology intern with changes consistent with hypothesized trends measured by the Counselor Rating Form-Short form (CRS-F). Perceived expertness and trustworthiness were higher-rated during the early weeks of the treatment course, with perceived attractiveness higher-rated by the end week.

1984 The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Advisor: Lyle D. Schmidt, Ph.D. Thesis for M.A. in Psychology. Christian counseling: Participants' ratings of interview approaches. Ohio State University Library OCLC # 11798633. This study had participants rate perceived counselor attributes of expertness, trustworthiness, and attractiveness using the Counselor Rating Form-Short form (CRF-S). Three different counselor approaches were used: Nouthetic (Jay Adams), Cognitive (Albert Ellis/Rational Emotive), and Integrative (Christian principles integrated with psychological). Findings were that participants rated the Integrative counselor more positively than the Nouthetic or Cognitive counselor, and anticipated comfort with the Integrative for a wider range of personal issues than Nouthetic or Cognitive.
