The thesis comprised of a pilot study and a main study. In the pilot study, 30 volunteers (15 Australians, 15 Asians) rated on 3 written transcripts of medical consultations. Results showed that there were no significant differences between the transcripts on important structural items such as realism. In addition, participants thought that the doctors across different scenarios were similar. In the main study, 112 participants (80 Australians, 32 Asians) listened to 4 recordings of medical consultations and rated each recording on CAT strategies, outcome measures, future intensions as well as dimensions of warmth and competence. Doctors were shaped as either Caucasian or Asian by giving different names and photos. Contrary to predictions, Asian doctors were rated more favourably by both Caucasian and Asian participants. Possible explanations identified including social desirability, different goals and initial orientations and multiculturalism in Australia. Strengths and limitations, implications and future directions are discussed. 2011-04-05T00:00:00Z Chun Yat Tong Drying shinkage in slabs on grade http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:298146 2013-04-23T12:10:17Z Lie, Cynthia Dugong processing as an archaeological phenomenon : evidence from a small complex of sites at Princess Charlotte Bay, north Queensland http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:295567 2013-04-03T11:43:35Z Minnegal, Monica.

Dysfunctional Eating Behaviours: the Role of the Original and Revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory and Eating Expectancies http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:239833 The revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) (Gray & McNaughton, 2000) posits that three neurologically-based motivational subsystems underlie behaviour. The Behavioural Approach System (BAS) and Fight/Flight/Freeze System (FFFS) are proposed to underpin response to appetitive and aversive stimuli, respectively. The Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS) is proposed to detect and resolve conflicts between these systems. The purpose of the present study was to use RST to evaluate individual differences that may underlie eating behaviours. Three research questions were addressed. Firstly, the relationships between RST systems and two dimensions of eating, restraint and disinhibition, as well as actual eating behaviour, were investigated. Secondly, the study sought to assess the validity of the revised theory in comparison with the original theory. Finally, the mediating role of eating expectancies between RST and eating behaviours was examined. Two-hundred and forty-three women completed self-report measures of the original and revised RST systems, disordered eating, and eating expectancies. Actual food consumption was measured for 72 participants. Results found no significant correlations between RST and food consumed in the lab. Original RST conceptualisation of BAS correlated negatively with restrained eating and positively with disinhibited eating. However, a measure of the revised BAS was not significantly correlated with either eating behaviour. Disinhibited eating was significantly positively correlated with both original and revised BIS as well as and a component of FFFS. The expectation that eating helps to avoid aversive states mediated FFFS and disinhibited eating in addition to the measure of original BIS and disinhibited eating. In contrast, the expectation that eating leads to a loss of control mediated revised BIS and disinhibited eating. The relationship between the original measure of BAS and disinhibited eating was mediated by beliefs that eating is pleasurable and rewarding. 2011-04-06T00:00:00Z Julie Hennegan Early age concrete cracking http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:296881 2013-04-11T12:23:49Z Chiew, Siew Chin Early age tensile strength of concrete http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:298143 2013-04-23T11:59:03Z Smith, Benjamin Earnings management and political costs in the mining industry http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:221727 2010-11-19T00:00:00Z Strathdee, Andrea M.
