Assessing The Relationship Between Parenting Styles And Dietary Behaviors Among Young Adults, Breanna Tofteland
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Food continues to be the focus of lifelong dietary and social habits. Past studies have shown the importance of creating healthy habits in childhood to increase the probability of healthy dietary behaviors as adults. A concern nationwide is that unhealthy dietary habits formed as a child translates to habits practiced as an adult, resulting in obesity (CDC, 2016). Past studies have shown that parenting styles are one of the contributing factors that influence how young adults view and interact with food. Branen & Fletcher's study concluded that there are significant correlations between habits formed in childhood that are still happening …
Examining The Effectiveness Of The After Action Review For Online And Face-To-Face Discussion Groups, William Cradick
Examining The Effectiveness Of The After Action Review For Online And Face-To-Face Discussion Groups, William Cradick
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
There is not enough research in the utilization of the After Action Review (AAR), in a college setting. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the AAR in both face-to-face and online classroom environments. Over the period of a semester, participants of undergraduate psychology courses, at a mid-sized university, conducted AARs with their static groups. Overall course and group activity grades were measured, along with self-efficacy, satisfaction, and motivation ratings. The AAR was found to be overall ineffective at improving performance outcomes. The evidence is not conclusive enough to suggest that the AAR will not be …
The Role Social Influence Has On Dormitory Residents' Responses To Fire Alarms, Michael Otting Leytem
The Role Social Influence Has On Dormitory Residents' Responses To Fire Alarms, Michael Otting Leytem
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Public response to fire alarms has been a major concern for decades. In particular, college dormitories pose a real threat for a catastrophic event if proper fire protocol is not carried out. Social influences may play a role in the decision dorm residents make when a fire alarm is sounded. More specifically, this research addresses to what degree does an authority figure, like a community advisor (CA), a friend, an unknown resident, or being alone, influence self-reported responses to fire alarms. Significant evidence was found confirming our hypothesis that participants in an alone condition reported being more likely to exit …
Development Of An Assessment Center As A Selection Method For I/O Graduate Applicants, Ting Tseng
Development Of An Assessment Center As A Selection Method For I/O Graduate Applicants, Ting Tseng
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
For over 70 years, assessment centers have contributed to employee selection, training, and development in organizations (Spychalski, Quinoies, Gaugler, & Pohley, 1997; Stephanie Haaland, 2002; Wendel & Joekel, 1991). However, they have not regularly been used for selection of students to an educational program. Given that assessment centers are effective at improving staffing in business settings, it can be speculated that they could also be effective in educational settings. The purpose of this research is to examine the feasibility of developing a selection-based assessment center for applicants to a graduate program in industrial-organizational psychology.
