Abstract:ACKNOWLEDGMENTSI would first like to thank my major professor and thesis chair, Dr. Amanda Fairchild, for providing the unwavering support, statistical education, and professional advice that she has given me over my first two years of graduate study. I owe not only my progress in graduate school, but also the opportunity to pursue my career goal of becoming a Naval Psychologist, to you. It has truly been a pleasure being able to work alongside you and I look forward to future years of collaboration.
