Students in Dr. McKenzie’s 2009 Relationships course were visited by Dr. Robin Lightner from University of Cincinnati’s behavioral neuroscience department. Dr. Lightner visited our classroom in March to present research results from a study in which our students participated. Her lecture, entitled Combining work and family: Personality Predictors, described and explained the variables of self-handicapping, hardiness, rumination, and fear of negative evaluation. She then applied those variables to research pertaining to working parenthood.
