The Ratio Of Positive To Negative Affect, Flourishing, And Health Behavior, Michael Stuart Leibow
The Ratio Of Positive To Negative Affect, Flourishing, And Health Behavior, Michael Stuart Leibow
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The ratio between positive and negative affect, known as the positivity ratio (PR) is thought to be associated with flourishing (psychological and social well-being). However, little research has been done on how PR and flourishing relate to specific health behaviors. The relationships between PR and flourishing with health behavior i.e., physical activity, and diet (fruit, leafy green vegetables [LGV] and meat intake) were investigated in this study.

The Association Of Diet With Affect, Patricia Ann Ford
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A subset of these participants ^=9,121) completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) in the Biopsychosocial Religion and Health Study conducted in 2006-7. …
Second Generation Korean-American Parents: Social Context Influence On Parenting, Lana H. Kim
Second Generation Korean-American Parents: Social Context Influence On Parenting, Lana H. Kim
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Korean-American families are an underrepresented group within the family therapy literature. In particular, the realities and lived experiences of American born second generation Korean-American parenting couples is limited. Therefore, this qualitative grounded theory dissertation used a social constructionist lens to understand how American born second generation Korean-Americans, raised amidst contrasting Korean and western cultural ideologies, conceptualize parenting and position themselves in relation to their children within parent-child relationships. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 parenting couples of children between 0-10 years of age to illuminate ways in which multiple cultural discourses, bicultural socialization, and racialized experiences influence the parenting process. …
