This thesis presents a comparative study that investigates the possibility of a relationship between the diagnosis of conduct disorder (CD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), intermittent explosive disorder (IED), or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (e.g., all of which are categorized as externalizing disorders) and juvenile violent crime. Previous research documents the frequency of externalizing disorders in the juvenile offender population and the behaviors associated...
Show moreThis thesis presents a comparative study that investigates the possibility of a relationship between the diagnosis of conduct disorder (CD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), intermittent explosive disorder (IED), or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (e.g., all of which are categorized as externalizing disorders) and juvenile violent crime. Previous research documents the frequency of externalizing disorders in the juvenile offender population and the behaviors associated with violent crimes (Cashman & Thomas, 2016; Shepherd & Purcell, 2015; Pullmann, 2009; Kim et al., 2017). Currently, there is a lack of research that explores the relationships between specific diagnoses and specific types of crimes in juvenile populations. In this thesis eight case studies are qualitatively analyzed for externalizing behaviors, the severity and frequency of the violence, the type of aggression, and the victim(s). The case studies revealed that defiance and impulsivity are the behaviors seen in the externalizing cases, whereas aggression and irritability are the behaviors seen in the non-externalizing cases.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between social media use and depression, by helping eliminate any inconsistencies from prior findings and expanding the research to include other possible contributing factors that have yet to be explored. Participants consisted of 18-34-year-olds residing in the United States. The study was conducted through an online survey on SurveyMonkey. Participants (N = 198) reported that there are several potential causal factors of depression that result from the use of social media. These include envy (40.45%), unsettling news (15.73%), exclusion (12.36%), negative posts (12.36%), conflicting views (8.99%), cyberbullying (3.37%), too much time spent on social media (3.37%) and recalling past experiences (3.37%). These results confirmed that social media envy is a potential causal factor of depression. Furthermore, it was found that there are additional causal factors resulting from social media use.
