A Qualitative Study On The Effect Of Misattributed Parentage Experiences, Jodi Klugman-Rabb Jan 2023

A Qualitative Study On The Effect Of Misattributed Parentage Experiences, Jodi Klugman-Rabb

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Identity formation is a lifelong process, significantly influenced by factors involving social groups such as family, culture, and life events. Identity confusion can result from Misattributed Parentage Experiences (MPE), when people learn they are not biologically related to a parent(s) who raised them as such, possibly triggering genealogical bewilderment, the state when uncertain knowledge of biological parents, or lack thereof, leads to maladjustment, confusion, and uncertainty (Leighton, 2012) in identity. The present study is a qualitative analysis of the effect genealogical bewilderment has on identity formation and crises for MPE adults in the United States between 2012 and 2022. Using …


Naturally Occurring Mentorship In A National Sample Of First-Generation College Goers: A Promising Portal For Academic And Developmental Success., Veronica Fruiht, Thomas Chan Mar 2018

Naturally Occurring Mentorship In A National Sample Of First-Generation College Goers: A Promising Portal For Academic And Developmental Success., Veronica Fruiht, Thomas Chan

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Attending college is increasingly important to compete in this global world; however, young people whose parents did not attend college are significantly less likely to enroll in and finish college. Formal programs to support first-generation college goers are common, but not scalable to provide support to all young people who need it. Instead, mentoring that naturally occurs on these students' journeys into and out of college may be a more practical avenue for supporting their success. This study investigated the role community members, relatives, and educators play in first-generation college goers' educational outcomes. Data from 4,181 participants of the National …

Giving Poems: Motivation And Personality In The Reading And Sharing Of Poetry, Leeann Bartolini

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Most of the psychological work on poetry has investigated the poet (Mason, Mort, Woo, 2015; Jamison, 1989) or the expressive act of writing poetry (Fink & Drake, 2016, Coulehan & Clary, 2005). The National Poetry Foundation commissioned a study in 2006 that examined the general habits of the American public in terms of reading and sharing poetry. This survey found:14% of American population reads poetry.Readers in general and poetry readers in particular tend to be women with higher level of education.Poetry readers are not loners – high amounts of leisure activity and high sociability.Poetry readers tend to have read poetry …

Co-Creating Meaningful Structures Within Long-Term Psychotherapy Group Culture, Robin G. Gayle Jul 2009

Co-Creating Meaningful Structures Within Long-Term Psychotherapy Group Culture, Robin G. Gayle

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Meaningful group structures are co-created within the long-term outpatient psychotherapy group through a hermeneutical interaction between structure and immediate experience of structure by individuals embedded in personal and collective contexts. Co-created meanings expand original group and self understandings and further evolve structures that are stable yet do not exist independently of the narratives and affects of the members who interact with them. Group structures do not reduce, expand, or dissolve but change in connection to the experiences and meaning attributions within the group. This intersubjective process mediates the emphasis within group theory upon leader responsibility for culture building that risks …

Reluctant High Priest | Inter Views By James Hillman With Laura Pozzo, Philip Novak Oct 1983

Reluctant High Priest | Inter Views By James Hillman With Laura Pozzo, Philip Novak

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship

"Ten years ago I read James Hillman's erudite and brilliantly original Myth of Analysis sensing psychological genius. Since then my enthusiasms has steadily dwindled, though his popularity it seems has gone the other way. This former director of the Jung Institute of Zurich, now something of a renegade among Jungians, has been hailed as the most original psychological thinker of our time and the founder of a new school: archetypal psychology." ~ from the review
