My interests are in the psychology of
health, illness, and medical care. I teach Statistics, Research
Methods, and Health Psychology. I enjoy working with students on
research projects in health psychology. We have investigated anger
expression in adult-onset asthmatics, Type A
behavior in college students, and the effect of irrational health beliefs
on health behavior and attitudes.

My doctoral study is Social/Health
psychology, but I also have an M.S. in clinical psychology, with
additional minor in human and family development. I am a Minnesota Licensed
Psychologist, and during my years of practice and program administration
I specialized in the treatment of eating disorders and on primary
and secondary traumatization. My current
focus on disaster psychology integrates all these areas
of preparation/experience.

That I have the time to spend exploring
ideas and implications with my students is one reason I prefer
undergraduate teaching to my university experiences. I enjoy the
challenge of making my discipline both alive and useful for my students
through nontraditional teaching techniques, including travel and
service-learning. My research interests include Social Cognition and
perception of social exchanges, and Aggression, Violence, and
Victimization. I involve students at all levels of my research
programs, from framing researchable questions, to methodological design,
data collection and analysis, and communicating our findings through
presentations and publications.

Education from Concordia in 1979. She then went on to teach
business courses in St. Paul
for 10 years. Bonnie came back to Concordia to settle into what
she considers her "perfect job". Bonnie is proud to
follow in the footsteps of her mother, Mary Ann (Music Mary) McDougall,
who was a caring and hard-working secretary in Concordia's music
department for over 20 years. Currently, Bonnie lives with her
husband (also a 1979 Concordia graduate) and two daughters in Moorhead.

adjustment, religiosity and its impact on family dynamics and child
school achievement, the impact of early enrichment programs for children
on later school performance, and Psychological adjustment among recent
immigrants to the United States.

I specialize in teaching courses related to
the therapeutic side of psychology such as Abnormal Psychology,
Personality Dynamics, and Personality Theory and Psychotherapy. My research is in the area known as the Psychology
of Religion. I investigate cognitive models that may explain church
attendance patterns in young adults and I also look at how we develop our
image of God. Students always serve as co-inquirers on these projects, assisting
with design, data collection and analysis, and publication.
I am an experimental psychologist with a
specialization in behavioral neuroscience and animal learning. I teach
courses in Learning, Physiological Psychology, Drugs and Behavior as well
as Introductory Psychology and Research Methods. I use a rodent population
to ask questions about the behavioral changes associated with
sickness. Current research in my laboratory investigates various
aspects of sickness behavior with a view to understanding communication
between the immune system and the central nervous system. One
ongoing project examines anhedonia (lack of
interest in pleasurable stimuli) associated with immune system
activation. Other work investigates the effect of cytokines and
sickness on food-motivated behavior. I also maintain an interest in
drug tolerance research, particularly alcohol tolerance.
My interests are in physiological psychology
with an emphasis on the neurobiological factors that underlie learning
and memory formation.
Specifically, my students and I study animal models. Current research in my lab is
investigating whether blocking neurotransmitter function affects the
on-going stability of memories.
Courses I teach include Physiological Psychology, Research Methods
and Introductory Psychology.
My specialty is developmental psychology,
with an emphasis on social development and physiology. I teach Lifespan
Development, Educational Psychology, Introductory Psychology, Psychology
of Women, and Advanced Developmental Psychology. My research
investigates the development of emotion regulation strategies (i.e.,
coping with stress) and the physiological consequences of the experience
of negative emotion. I am particularly interested in this relationship
within the parent-child context, and in socialized gender differences to
emotional situations.
