Divorce In The Family: How Does It Affect Personality And Views Of Love And Marriage?, Kymberley K. Bennett Jan 2001

Divorce In The Family: How Does It Affect Personality And Views Of Love And Marriage?, Kymberley K. Bennett

Modern Psychological Studies

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of parental divorce on such personality variables as global optimism and self-esteem, and attitudes toward love and marriage. Eighty-seven women and 48 men enrolled in a small, private university participated in this study. A questionnaire was developed specifically for this study which included Sheier and Carver's (1985) Life Orientation Test, Rosenberg's (1965) Self-Esteem Scale, and several other established measures. In addition, participants read five scenarios depicting couples on the verge of divorce and were asked to rate each impending divorce for its likelihood and its acceptability. Results indicated that all participants were …

Body Image Distortion In College Females: Effects On Exercise Identity And Commitment, Marie Schroder, Lauren Leslie, Mary Leigh Gregory Jan 2001

Body Image Distortion In College Females: Effects On Exercise Identity And Commitment, Marie Schroder, Lauren Leslie, Mary Leigh Gregory

Modern Psychological Studies

Body image concerns have been related to behavioral aspects of exercise. This study examined the psychological aspect of exercise on role identity. It was hypothesized that college females who overestimated percentage body fat were more likely to identify exercise as an integral self-concept and commit strongly to exercise than correct or underestimators. Twenty-five undergraduate females, never diagnosed with an eating disorder, completed an Exercise Identity Scale and a Commitment to Exercise scale. Body fat was assessed using calipers at three body sites. Body image distortion is prevalent among normal populations but shows no significant relation to exercise identity and commitment. …

The Relationship Between Adolescent Self-Esteem And Delinquent, Extracurricular, And Employment Behaviors, Tina M. Lane, Ann N. Elliott Jan 2001

The Relationship Between Adolescent Self-Esteem And Delinquent, Extracurricular, And Employment Behaviors, Tina M. Lane, Ann N. Elliott

Modern Psychological Studies

This study investigated the relationship between level of self-esteem, delinquent behavior, participation in extracurricular activities, and part-time employment in adolescents. The study consisted of 157 ninth and tenth grade students who attended rural Appalachian high schools in Southwest Virginia. Adolescents with higher self-esteem were significantly less likely to engage in delinquent behaviors than adolescents with lower self-esteem. Students with higher self-esteem also participated in a greater number of extracurricular activities. Finally, self-esteem was positively correlated with the number of hours worked by male adolescents, but negatively correlated for female subjects.

Walk In My Shoes: College Students' And Their Parents' Predictions Of Their Own Health Practices If They Were Each Others' Age, Amy B. Clineff, Colleen Frantz, Charles I. Brooks, Jean P. O'Brien Jan 2001

Walk In My Shoes: College Students' And Their Parents' Predictions Of Their Own Health Practices If They Were Each Others' Age, Amy B. Clineff, Colleen Frantz, Charles I. Brooks, Jean P. O'Brien

Modern Psychological Studies

College students and their parents completed a survey of their present health practices. They then completed the same survey for health behaviors they thought they would practice if they were either between the ages of 18 - 22 (for the parent respondents) or 45 - 55 (for the student respondents). The results generally showed the students predicted they would lead healthier lifestyles if older than their parents actually do, and the parents would lead less healthy lifestyles if younger than their children actually do. This distortion of each others' health practices, however, depended to some extent on the specific health …

Deception In Research: How College Students View Deception, David Devries Jan 2001

Deception In Research: How College Students View Deception, David Devries

Modern Psychological Studies

This study asked college students to evaluate the use of deceptive techniques in psychological research. Ninety-two undergraduates evaluated via a three-point Likert Scale four classic deceptive studies in psychology. Students were asked to rate each study as to how deceptive and harmful it was, how valuable it was, and the cost-benefit to science of the study. Respondents generally believed these studies worth doing; however, around 20 percent felt the cost to the subjects was too high.

Where Did They Come From? A Tribute To Shirley N. Wood, Jo Ann Rhodes Jan 2001

Where Did They Come From? A Tribute To Shirley N. Wood, Jo Ann Rhodes

The Christian Librarian

The contributions of people like Shirley Wood, one of the founders of the Association of Christian Librarians, often go unnoticed due to the selflessness of their service. It is good to be reminded once in a while that what we take for granted in our 21st century library work was at one time the result of some former librarian's creativity. In the Christian library community, an individual's contributions are frequently done quietly, which is the way it should be if one wished to serve in the Scriptural way of not calling attention to oneself or one's service. Shirley Wood expended …

Bolivia Or Bust: Cila Memories, Dennis C. Tucker Jan 2001

Bolivia Or Bust: Cila Memories, Dennis C. Tucker

The Christian Librarian

The first tentative talks about the possibility of a teaching mission to Bolivia began in June of 1998 at the annual conference of the Association of Christian Librarians. We had a semi-formal meeting to discuss the possibility at the 1999 annual conference-nearly a year before it would actually happen-at a meeting of the Commission for International Library Assistance (CILA), a ministry of the Association. The mission of CILA is to provide support for libraries in developing countries where there is a lack of formal training or financial resources. It does so by serving as an umbrella organization to coordinate requests …

Objectivity, Values, And The Christian Librarian, Steve Baker Jan 2001

Objectivity, Values, And The Christian Librarian, Steve Baker

The Christian Librarian

The central questions of Christian librarianship in the postmodern world involve the philosophical grounds of collection development. Are there reliable objective grounds for attempting to build balanced collections? What values ought to guide the librarian in this task? How will the application of those values differ in the context of an evangelical Christian institution?

The Christian Librarian

For those of us serving in the academic community a new year has just begun - the fall semester or quarter is upon us. Students have returned to campus and summer-quiet library halls are now ringing with stage "whispers," book drops filling with materials rediscovered on unpacking day.

Russian Soldiers Move Library!, Lois L. Luesing Jan 2001

Russian Soldiers Move Library!, Lois L. Luesing

The Christian Librarian

How does one make plans to move a library from one building, across town, and into a new site when that site is thousands of miles away from where you are in Michigan? One evening I was trying to come up with an idea of how to proceed. Suddenly there flashed into my mind a plan that I quickly wrote down. It was that very plan that we used at St. Petersburg Christian University in Russia. Surely the Lord gave it.

The Symbiotic Circle Of Community: A Comparative Investigation Of Deviance Control In Intentional Communities, Zachary Rothenberg Jan 2001

The Symbiotic Circle Of Community: A Comparative Investigation Of Deviance Control In Intentional Communities, Zachary Rothenberg

Cleveland State Law Review

With each community considered, I will try to paint a picture of the many collectivizing factors at work: (1) the history or tradition of the community; (2) its underlying ideology, belief and value systems, and/or common interests or goals; (3) the nature of its communalism; (4)the nature of its isolation from the outside world; and (5) its decision-making and governance structure. Finally, I will look to its "gate-keeping" or circumference-drawing functions-how the community controls deviance and maintains unity within, while distinguishing itself from the chaos without. In Section I, I will consider two extreme examples of community (the Oneida Community …
