However, prior research did not sufficiently explore intervening or moderating factors. Additionally, prior measures of moral preference (e.g., sacrificial dilemmas) have a pronounced lack of ecological validity. This study seeks to address these two gaps in the literature. First, this study used Preference for Precepts Implied in Moral Theories (PPIMT), which offers a novel, more nuanced and ecologically valid measure of moral judgment. Second, the current study examined if risk taking moderates the relationships between psychopathic tendencies and moral judgment. Results indicated that models which incorporated risk-taking as a moderator between psychopathic tendencies and moral judgment were a better fit to the data than those that incorporated psychopathic tendencies and risk-taking as exogenous variables, suggesting that the association between psychopathic tendencies and moral judgment is influenced by level of risk-taking. Therefore, future research investigating linkages between psychopathic tendencies and moral precepts may do well to incorporate risk-taking and risky behaviors to further strengthen the understanding of moral judgment in these individuals.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN PSYCHOLOGY}, author={Cacace, Sam and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph and Dubljevic, Veljko}, year={2022}, month={Mar} } @article{katon_brugh_desmarais_simons-rudolph_zottola_2020, title={A Qualitative Analysis of Drivers among Military-Affiliated and Civilian Lone Actor Terrorists Inspired by Jihadism}, volume={44}, ISSN={1057-610X 1521-0731}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1057610X.2020.1799520}, DOI={10.1080/1057610X.2020.1799520}, abstractNote={Abstract This qualitative study explored and compared factors that drive individuals with and without military experience to commit violent acts of terrorism within a sample of 10 jihadism-inspired lone actors. Findings reveal four major themes driving violent terrorist action among lone actors: Action, Grievance, Growing in Jihad, Religious Fervor. Results also provide some of the first evidence that drivers of lone actor terrorism differ between those with and without military experience. Factors related to action, certain grievances, and growth in Jihad were seen more commonly among the military-affiliated lone actors than their civilian peers.

Using public information, we rated TRAP-18 items for 35 U.S. and 38 European jihadism-inspired lone actors (total N = 77). Results reveal challenges completing the TRAP-18 using public information: only four of 18 items (Pathway, Identification, Personal Grievance, Framed by Ideology) were rated present more often than absent or unknown. Findings suggest greater relevance of TRAP-18 items to U.S. lone actors, who had a higher average number of items rated present.}, journal={Studies in Conflict & Terrorism}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Brugh, Christine Shahan and Desmarais, Sarah L. and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={1–26} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2019, title={Issue Title: Using Multiple Methods to Uncover the Truths about Gender Introduction}, volume={36}, ISSN={["1936-4717"]}, DOI={10.1007/s12147-019-09229-z}, number={1}, journal={GENDER ISSUES}, author={Simons-Rudolph, Ashley and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph}, year={2019}, month={Mar}, pages={1–2} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2018, title={Gender in relationships with self and others Introduction}, volume={35}, number={1}, journal={Gender Issues}, author={Simons-Rudolph, A. and Simons-Rudolph, J.}, year={2018}, pages={1–2} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2018, title={How understanding gender can help heal our world introduction}, volume={35}, number={2}, journal={Gender Issues}, author={Simons-Rudolph, A. and Simons-Rudolph, J.}, year={2018}, pages={71–72} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2018, title={Issue Title: Highlighting the Diversity of Our Work Introduction}, volume={35}, ISSN={["1936-4717"]}, DOI={10.1007/s12147-018-9216-2}, number={3}, journal={GENDER ISSUES}, author={Simons-Rudolph, Ashley and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph}, year={2018}, month={Sep}, pages={179–180} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2018, title={Issue Title: Highlighting the Diversity of Our Work Introduction}, volume={35}, number={3}, journal={Gender Issues}, author={Simons-Rudolph, A. and Simons-Rudolph, J.}, year={2018}, pages={179–180} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2017, title={Gender and Intersectional Identities in Academe Introduction}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1936-4717"]}, DOI={10.1007/s12147-017-9188-7}, number={2}, journal={GENDER ISSUES}, author={Simons-Rudolph, Ashley and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph}, year={2017}, month={Jun}, pages={103–104} } @article{simons-rudolph_simons-rudolph_2017, title={Introduction}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1936-4717"]}, DOI={10.1007/s12147-017-9204-y}, number={4}, journal={GENDER ISSUES}, author={Simons-Rudolph, Ashley and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph}, year={2017}, month={Dec}, pages={293–294} } @article{morgan_desmarais_mitchell_simons-rudolph_2017, title={Posttraumatic Stress, Posttraumatic Growth, and Satisfaction With Life in Military Veterans}, volume={29}, ISSN={0899-5605 1532-7876}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/mil0000182}, DOI={10.1037/mil0000182}, abstractNote={Objective: Military veterans are more likely than civilians to experience trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research suggests, however, that some people who experience trauma, including veterans, report posttraumatic growth (PTG), or positive personal changes following adversity. In this study, we tested a comprehensive model of PTG, PTSD, and satisfaction with life in a veteran population, exploring the roles of challenges to core beliefs, types of rumination, sex, and time since event. Method: Data were collected via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, an online crowdsourcing website, from veterans (N = 197) who had experienced a stressful event within the last 3 years (M = 16.66 months, SD = 12.27 months). Structural equation modeling was used to test an integrated conceptual model of PTG, PTSD, and satisfaction with life. Results: Results showed that challenge to core beliefs was directly associated with both deliberate and intrusive rumination. Deliberate rumination was positively related to PTG; intrusive rumination was positively related to symptoms of PTSD. PTG and PTSD, in turn, mediated the relationship between rumination styles and satisfaction with life; PTG was related to higher satisfaction with life; and PTSD was negatively related to satisfaction with life. Results failed to show differences on any model variables as a function of time since event or sex. Conclusion: Results indicate that the intentional facilitation of PTG may be a complementary and alternative option to the reduction of PTSD symptoms for improving satisfaction with life. Findings suggest that efforts to facilitate PTG should be focused on strategies for promoting deliberate rumination.}, number={5}, journal={Military Psychology}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Morgan, Jessica Kelley and Desmarais, Sarah L. and Mitchell, Roger E. and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph M.}, year={2017}, month={Jun}, pages={434–447} } @article{jalal_simons-rudolph_jalal_hinton_2014, title={Explanations of sleep paralysis among Egyptian college students and the general population in Egypt and Denmark}, volume={51}, ISSN={["1461-7471"]}, DOI={10.1177/1363461513503378}, abstractNote={ This cross-cultural study compared explanations of sleep paralysis (SP) in two countries and two groups with different levels of education in one country. Comparisons were made between individuals having experienced SP at least once in a lifetime from Cairo, Egypt ( n = 89), Copenhagen, Denmark ( n = 59), and the American University in Cairo, Egypt ( n = 44). As hypothesized, participants from the general Egyptian population were more likely to endorse supernatural causal explanation of their SP compared to participants from Denmark; participants from the American University in Cairo were less likely to endorse supernatural causes of their SP compared to participants from the general Egyptian population. Moreover, participants from the American University in Cairo were marginally significantly more likely to endorse supernatural causes of their SP compared to participants from Denmark. Additionally, we explored which culturally bound explanations and beliefs about SP existed in Egypt and Denmark. We found that nearly half (48%) of the participants from the general Egyptian population believed their SP to be caused by the Jinn, a spirit-like creature with roots in Islamic tradition, which constitutes a culturally bound interpretation of the phenomenology of SP in this region of the world. Case studies are presented to illustrate these findings. }, number={2}, journal={TRANSCULTURAL PSYCHIATRY}, author={Jalal, Baland and Simons-Rudolph, Joseph and Jalal, Bamo and Hinton, Devon E.}, year={2014}, month={Apr}, pages={158–175} }
