Race/Ethnicity As A Moderator In Child And Adolescent Depression And Anxiety Trials, Natalie Guerrier
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The inclusion of racial/ethnic minorities in treatment outcomes trials for children and adolescents with depression and anxiety is essential, particularly given the assumption, required by the NIH, that racial diversity is important to the generalizability of clinical trial outcomes. A search for randomized clinical trials on the treatment of child and adolescent depression and anxiety was conducted using the Medline and Psychinfo databases. These were then reviewed to determine whether race or ethnicity were 1) factored into recruitment strategies; 2) represented in the trial sample; and 3) included in moderator analyses to determine the extent to which they may influence …

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The current study explores the effects of gender on salary negotiation behaviors and expectancies and the relationship between these variables and starting salary outcomes. College students from a variety of different majors were surveyed prior to and then approximately two to four months after graduation. Though there was no gender difference in final salary or difference between initial and final salary offer, men reported using more aggressive and active salary negotiation behaviors. The results also suggest that men may have felt more empowered in the salary negotiation context. They expected higher salaries than women did, anticipated less discomfort and believed …

The Effects Of Community-Based Service-Learning On Preservice Elementary Teachers' Self-Efficacy Beliefs About Equitable Science Teaching And Learning, Neporcha T. Cone
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996) and Science for all Americans (AAAS, 1989) explicitly state that all students regardless of their age, cultural or ethnic backgrounds, gender, abilities, aspirations, or interest in science should have access to equitable educational resources in science. These equitable resources also include access to efficacious teachers of all students. However, the Standards fail to explicate what practices, if any, lead to the development of these teachers. The primary purpose of this study was to identify teacher education practices that positively influenced preservice elementary teachers' self-efficacy beliefs about equitable science teaching and learning. More specifically, …

Three decades after the closing of this elite program, 110 graduates responded to a telephone survey on attitudes toward first employers, careers, and their experiences at Columbia. Results from this exploratory study show respondents spent an average 17.6 years in news media after the Summer Program, and 30.9 percent of respondents spent thirty years or more in journalism. …

Student Demographics With Changing Admission Criteria: Is Nursing Diversity At Risk?, Jung Yoon, Kimlin Mcdaniel Keith
Master's Projects
Schools of nursing are challenged with choosing from an increasing number of applicants and the need to prepare as many successful nurses as possible to meet the nursing shortage. Strategies have included increasing student enrollment, utilizing accelerated programs, and changing admission criteria. This study describes the demographic characteristics of three classes of nursing students admitted under different criteria to the same nursing school. The value of maintaining a high level of ethnic diversity is guided by Leininger's theory of cultural care diversity and universality. Although changes occurred in the demographic constitution of each nursing class, ethnic diversity was maintained as …

Very little research exists within the intercultural literature that addresses faculty or staff intercultural sensitivity within a college environment. Research is practically non-existent regarding the intercultural sensitivity of the student affairs practitioner. Specific challenges face college and university practitioners as they attempt to accomplish the diversity missions of their institutions. These challenges cannot be overcome unless those governing and manipulating higherEducation environments are themselves sensitive to cultural differences and possess …
