Dr. McDermott

Dr. Ryon McDermott has won the "Researcher of the Year Award" from the Division on Men and Masculinity of the American Psychological Association (http://division51.net/). The award recognizes the publishing of outstanding research concerning males and masculinity.

During the past 6 years Dr. McDermott has published 36 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on the following topics: men's help-seeking behaviors, self-stigma in men, male attitudes towards college sexual assault, and the negative effects of gender role strain and stress upon men's health and relationships. 

One of Dr. McDermott's research programs examines the intersections of cultural variables (e.g. race, gender, sexual orientation) and individual psychological differences (e.g. adult attachment, personality factors, self-esteem) to understand and address real-world problems. Currently, Dr. McDermott and his research team are focused on three interrelated problems impacting most college campuses: academic retention, sexual assault, and delivery of mental health services to underrepresented groups. Upcoming publications from the research team include an investigation of college students鈥� adult attachment in relation to their trait hope and academic/psychological well-being, a meta-analytic review of masculinity and college sexual assault perpetration, an examination of the socio-cultural predictors of Asian men's body image concerns, and a study of college students鈥� help-seeking behaviors in relation to adult attachment, levels of psychological distress, and self-stigma of seeking psychological help. In addition, the research team has just submitted IRB paperwork to begin developing a measure of prosocial masculinity. Research team members include Daniel McKelvey, Matthew Kridel, Paige Naylor, Lacy Kantra, and Zacharay Jones from the Combined Clinical and Counseling Psychology doctoral program.

Dr. CarrDr. McDermott is collaborating with Dr. Nicole Carr, Director of Student Academic Success, to address cultural and psychological factors related to academic retention. Specifically, Dr. McDermott revised the First-Year Experience Survey (FYES) to include social, cultural, and psychological factors related to academic retention in addition to the established college and academic predictors. The new FYES has also been broken into two administrations so that data can be examined over time. This process will help determine which variables in the beginning of the semester predict academic retention at the end of the semester and will provide a more complete picture of college students鈥� experiences. Dr. McDermott plans to fine tune the survey to develop targeted interventions for the first-year experience classes in the future. Dr. McDermott is also collaborating with Dr. Krista Harrell (Associate Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator) and Dr. Sarah Koon-Magnin (Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science & Criminal Justice) to examine factors related to college student sexual assault perpetration and victimization by developing a college-wide survey of dating attitudes and behaviors.
