A. CHANGES
Since submission of the last application/progress report, have any significant changes occurred in the training program,
particularly the research project, academic status, or time distribution of activities (Le., percentage of time devoted to
research project, course work, teaching, etc.)? If so, explain.
B. PROGRESS
Describe concisely the research performed and research training obtained during the past year. List all courses and
publications. Complete the Gender and Minority Inclusion table(s) (see below), if applicable.
C. RESEARCH TRAINING PLANS
Describe concisely the research and research training planned for the requested budget period, including any course work.
A. There have been no significant changes made to the training plan since the
submission of the proposal.
B. I have engaged in many research projects over the course of the year: Last summer,
I traveled to the Kingsclear First Nation located in Fredericton, New Brunswick,
Canada to begin data collection for this project. I collected data from 114 American
Indians (Als) and will be returning this summer to finish data collection for the AI
sample. At that time I will also begin the process of collecting the Caucasian sample
from the areas surrounding the reservation. The intent is to begin and finish data
collection this summer.
Second, I have co-authored a multi-trait, multi-method study on the facets of
impulsivity that I am using in this funded study. The paper shows discriminant
validity among facets of impulsivity in the prediction of problem drinking. A draft
of the paper from that study is complete and the paper will be submitted for
publication in the next month. Third, I co-authored a study on a new type of
impulsivity, known as positive urgency, which refers to the tendency to act rashly in
response to a positive mood. That paper includes four studies and will be submitted
for publication this summer. Fourth, I published two papers in which I applied
structural equation modeling to the assessment of eating disorders and eating
disorder risk factors in men. Fifth, I co-authored a review paper that argues for an
integration of universalist and culturally specific psychologies. That paper is
currently under review. Sixth, I co-authored a book chapter on the construct of
urgency, which is a key facet of impulsivity in the funded research. Seventh, I have
completed a draft of a review paper in which I propose an integrated theory of risk
for American Indian drinking: that theory is the core of the funded research. Eighth,
I collected data for a study that applies the group component of my model to
Caucasian college students.
Over the past year I have participated in weekly group discussions with members from
my lab and my sponsor.
In addition, I reviewed an article for the Journal of Studies on Alcohol. Dr. Smith
supervised my review.
