Counseling Students’ Attitudes Toward Complementary And Alternative Medicine Integration In Counseling Practice, Lee Za Ong, Carrie L. King, Hope A. Jackson
Counseling Students’ Attitudes Toward Complementary And Alternative Medicine Integration In Counseling Practice, Lee Za Ong, Carrie L. King, Hope A. Jackson
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
This study explored counseling students’ attitudes toward beliefs and personal experience with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) integration in counseling practices. A total of 113 clinical mental health counseling students completed a demographic questionnaire, the CAM use, and the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Beliefs Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, nonparametric Chi-Square testing, Mann–Whitney U test, and logistic regression analysis to determine the prevalence of CAM use, CAM beliefs, and predictive factors of CAM integration. The results indicated differences in ethnicity, gender, and age for CAM use, CAM beliefs, and predictors of attitudes toward CAM integration. Recommendations for counseling …
Special Education In Catholic Schools Viewed From A Liberatory Hermeneutic, Mary E. Carlson, Jeffrey Labelle
Special Education In Catholic Schools Viewed From A Liberatory Hermeneutic, Mary E. Carlson, Jeffrey Labelle
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
This study explores anew the issue of providing special education in Catholic schools by viewing the ethical implications from a liberatory hermeneutic. By utilizing an interdisciplinary perspective, the research draws upon liberation theology, liberation psychology, liberation pedagogy, and liberation ethics to support the moral mandate for providing education for all God’s children, including those persons with disabilities. The study challenges Catholic educational leaders to reimagine their positions on how schools might promote a more inclusive, liberatory approach to serving the special needs of children with disabilities. Finally, this research provides a Catholic, liberatory, ethical framework for inclusive Catholic education to …
Practicing Community: The Future Of Liberal Learning, Heidi Bostic, Diane E. Boyd
Practicing Community: The Future Of Liberal Learning, Heidi Bostic, Diane E. Boyd
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
Inspired by Lynn Pasquerella’s challenge to “revolutionize higher education”; José Antonio Bowen’s question,“Are we being bold enough?”; and Brian Rosenberg’s description of current changes to higher education as “more than tinkering but less than revolutionary,” our conversations highlighted ideas that the articles imply but do not fully address. Mindful of sobering realities, seeking to revolutionize, and recalling AAC&U’s commitment to higher education as preparation for work, life, and civic engagement, we identified three crucial outcomes.
Uncovering Hegemony In Higher Education: A Critical Appraisal Of The Use Of “Institutional Habitus” In Empirical Scholarship, Derria Byrd
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
This article critically examines the empirical scholarship that applies institutional habitus, a conceptual extension of Bourdieu’s theory of practice, to investigations of higher education. Given Bourdieu’s extensive scholarly focus on higher education as well as the field’s undertheorization of its own exclusionary history, application of institutional habitus to higher education is particularly apt. This critical appraisal finds that the reviewed scholarship corroborates the concept’s value by drawing attention to the role of institutional habitus in differentially privileging and rewarding students based on their possession of institutionally legitimized knowledge, values, and behaviors. Nevertheless, this review reveals a series of missed opportunities, …

Exploring Students’ Perceptions Of Their Experiences In A Social Justice Living–Learning Community, Jody E. Jessup-Anger, Megan Armstrong, Noreen Siddiqui
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
This qualitative study explored students’ perceptions of their experience in a social justice living–learning community throughout their time in the community and one year after participation. Findings illustrated students (1) developed a broader conception of social justice and greater awareness of social justice issues in the community, (2) increased their capacity for social justice and civic engagement, and, (3) established enduring values, which included appreciation for community and increased capacity for social connection.
Bisexual Well-Being: Assessing A Model Of Predictors Of Psychosocial Well-Being For Bisexual Men, Philip James Cooke, Timothy Melchert
Bisexual Well-Being: Assessing A Model Of Predictors Of Psychosocial Well-Being For Bisexual Men, Philip James Cooke, Timothy Melchert
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
Experiences of prejudice, discrimination, internalized homonegativity, and poor social support contribute to an increased risk for psychosocial distress among sexual minority individuals (King et al., 2008; Meyer, 2003). While much is known about factors predicting psychosocial distress in LGB populations, less is known about the factors that predict psychosocial well-being among bisexuals. The present study used structural equation modeling to investigate the effect that minority stress processes (e.g., discrimination, internalized homonegativity) have on positive psychosocial health outcomes (e.g., positive affect, meaning in life) in bisexual men. Additionally, the study’s model examined how positive sexual identity factors and universal protective factors …

Social And Psychological Factors Affecting Coping With And Adjusting To Disability, Alie Kriofske Mainella, Susan Miller Smedema
Social And Psychological Factors Affecting Coping With And Adjusting To Disability, Alie Kriofske Mainella, Susan Miller Smedema
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
This chapter provides an overview of the social and psychological factors contributing to coping with and adjusting to disability by summarizing models; clinical implications, evidence-based practice, and measurement issues; and empirical research related to the process of coping with and adjustment to disability. While the models are useful for understanding a portion of the experience of people with disabilities and their coping and adjustment process, these reactions are not universal and not always experienced in an orderly sequence. Both coping and adaptation are multidimensional, complex processes affected by many factors and influenced by the person with the disability, the stress …
Building Human Rights Consciousness In Postconflict Societies: Peruvian Adolescents’ Understandings Of Human Rights, Gabriel Velez
Building Human Rights Consciousness In Postconflict Societies: Peruvian Adolescents’ Understandings Of Human Rights, Gabriel Velez
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
During adolescence, individuals begin to form ideas about human rights as part of the development of a sense of self. The outcomes of these processes are influential in the stability and peace in postconflict societies. However, there remain many questions about how these youth construct ideas about human rights and how they become oriented toward promoting these in society through a developed human rights consciousness. This study investigates how adolescents in an underexplored area of postconflict societies—where past violence was not intimately experienced—understand human rights. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 25 fifteen-year-olds across five schools in Tacna, Peru. These adolescents …
The Diversity Distraction: A Critical Comparative Analysis Of Discourse In Higher Education Scholarship, Derria Byrd
The Diversity Distraction: A Critical Comparative Analysis Of Discourse In Higher Education Scholarship, Derria Byrd
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
This critical literature review investigates how "diversity" and "equity" are employed in top-cited higher education scholarship published between 2000 and 2015. No analysis to date has offered such a comparative exploration relative to well-recognized racial disparities in higher education. Findings reveal a divergence with "diversity" largely attending to affirmative action concerns and "equity" to analyses of the pursuit of equity in higher education. The article concludes with advocacy for the equity frame because of its presumption of a normative justice-oriented standard and embedded orientation toward inquiry and action, both of which offer greater promise for policy, practice, and research that …

Social anxiety is common among adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). An ongoing challenge for both research and clinical practice in ASD is the assessment of anxious symptomatology. Despite its widespread use in samples of youth with ASD, the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) has not received psychometric evaluation within this population; thus, the validity of its use in research and clinical practice for ASD remains unclear. The present study conducted a psychometric analysis of caregiver and adolescent SAS-A forms in a sample of adolescents with ASD (N = 197). Results revealed (1) poor caregiver–adolescent item-level agreement, (2) …

For emerging adults transitioning to college, normative social and contextual shifts present challenges that are largely a productive aspect of development. But not all students have the same experiences, nor do all students manage similar experiences in similar ways. Black and Latinx emerging adults transitioning to Historically White Institutions must adjust not only to college life but also to feeling different and, sometimes, isolated. There is a dearth of qualitative work examining how students of color make meaning of their racial-ethnic experiences on campus. Our article draws on a mixed-methods study of Black and Latinx emerging adults’ transition to college …
An Emerging Theory Of The Persistence Of Social Class Microaggressions: An Interpretative Phenomenological Study, Jennifer Cook, Caroline O'Hara
An Emerging Theory Of The Persistence Of Social Class Microaggressions: An Interpretative Phenomenological Study, Jennifer Cook, Caroline O'Hara
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
Eleven counselor education doctoral students participated in an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis study aimed to understand their social class microaggressions (SCMs) experiences. A tentative theory emerged from the data that SCMs persist to preserve homeostasis. The super-ordinate theme, Unequal, Embedded, Societal Structures is corroborated by the subordinate themes, Social Class Invisibility, Intersecting Identities, Perceptions and Assumptions about Social Class, Privilege and Unawareness about Social Class, and SCM Manifestations. Together, the superordinate theme and subsequent subordinate themes culminate in the preservation of homeostasis. We offer a data driven model to depict the theory, present participant data with extensive quotes, counseling …
