Psi Chi is a member of the As so cia tion of Col lege Honor So ci et ies (ACHS), and is an affiliate of the Ameri can Psy cho logi cal As so cia tion (APA) and the Association for Psy cho log i cal Science (APS). Psi Chi's sister honor society is Psi Beta, the na tion al honor society in psychology for com mu nity and junior colleges. Psi Chi functions as a federation of chap ters located at over 1,100 senior col leg es and universities around the world. The Psi Chi Central Office is lo cat ed in Chatta nooga, Ten nessee. A Board of Directors, com posed of psy chol o gy faculty who are Psi Chi members and who are elect ed by the chapters, guides the affairs of the Or ga ni za tion and sets pol i cy with the ap prov al of the chap ters. Psi Chi membership provides two major opportunities. The first of these is ac a dem ic rec og ni tion to all in duc tees by the mere fact of mem ber ship. The sec ond is the opportunity of each of the Society's local chapters to nourish and stim u late the pro fes sion al growth of all members through fellowship and activities de signed to augment and en hance the reg u lar cur ric u lum. In addition, the Or ga ni za tion provides programs to help achieve these goals including con ven tions, research awards and grants competitions, and publication opportunities. JOURNAL PURPOSE STATEMENT The twofold purpose of the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research is to foster and reward the scholarly efforts of psychology students as well as to provide them with a valuable learning experience. The articles pub lished in the Journal represent the work of under graduates, graduate students, and faculty. To further support authors and enhance Journal visibility, articles are now available in the PsycINFO ® and EBSCO Academic Search Complete ® databases. In 2016, the Journal also became open access (i.e., free online to all readers and authors) to broaden the dissemination of research across the psychological science com munity.

Indirect Effects of Social Support on Psychological Health Through Self-Esteem in Emerging Adulthood

“…A majority of participants in the current study were freshmen and just beginning their college career. Participants may have less contact with parents during the first year at a university and may transition to new friend groups; their self-esteem may be primarily influenced by self-efficacy, friend relationships, and academic performance rather than parents (Moore & Shell, 2017).…”

Effects of Parenting Styles on Psychological Problems by Self Esteem and Gender Differences

“…The theory states that previous experiences with support help individuals form social schemas of support availability such that support will be available, and the individual may form a positive self-concept. Warmth and social support from parents during adolescence and emerging adulthood have been shown to increase self-esteem (Moore & Shell, 2017), which in turn, has been associated with higher quality of life and decreased psychological problems (Korhonen et al, 2018). Thus, warmth and previous experiences of positive parenting may improve positive self-identity formation and improve self-esteem.…”

The Impact of Applicants’ Weight and Education About Obesity on Applicant Ratings

“…Additionally, in terms of parenting styles and resilience, Kritzas and Grobler (2005) found that authoritative parenting accounted for the most variance in resilience. Moore and Shell (2017) found that maternal support predicted lower internalizing symptoms, such as depression, which is negatively correlated with resilience (Sart et al, 2016), and higher selfesteem, a variable positively correlated with resilience (Mizuno et al, 2016). Similarly, parents' emotionally responsive and competent parenting (e.g., nurturing involve ment, authoritative discipline) has been shown to mediate the relationship between the criterion vari able resilience and the predictors, psychosocial sup port, and relational history (Wyman et al, 1999).…”
