The participants included three early adolescent males and one adult male, a parent-participant. Data collection methods included participant observation, journal entries, photo documentation, photo elicited interviews, processing groups, and field notes. A multiple case narrative …
Recovery Of Sensorimotor Function In Rats Following Acute Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Deprivation And Controlled Cortical Impact, Jaime Lynn Shuster
Recovery Of Sensorimotor Function In Rats Following Acute Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Deprivation And Controlled Cortical Impact, Jaime Lynn Shuster
ETD Archive
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from bomb blasts and explosions is common among military personnel. The effects of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep deprivation on the sensorimotor behavior and physiological mechanisms related to TBI are unknown. Thirty-two Long Evans rats were randomly assigned to REM sleep deprivation (RSD) with controlled cortical impact (CCI), social isolation (SI) with CCI, or normal housing (NH) with CCI or Sham. Two behavioral tasks [beam walk and bilateral tactile adhesive removal somatosensory (BTARS)] testing motor and sensory function were used to investigate recovery of function. Brain tissue was analyzed using Cresyl Violet stain (cell bodies), …
The Perception Of Fairness Of Performance Appraisals, Tracy M. Prather
The Perception Of Fairness Of Performance Appraisals, Tracy M. Prather
ETD Archive
The perception of fairness in performance appraisals (PA) is one of the most important factors and considered a criterion when reviewing PA effectiveness (Jacobs, Kafry, and Zedeck, 1980). In this particular study, I examined numerous variables in three main categories: interpersonal, procedural, and outcome fairness. Keep in mind that although these are three distinct categories, they are all inter-related. One hundred ninety-two employees, from the research and development section of a large retail company, voluntarily participated. The results were slightly contradictory to what was expected yet they were good results. The interpersonal variable, manager effectiveness, along with the outcome variables, …
The Effect Of Workload On Student Evaluations Of Teaching, Jennifer Kramp
The Effect Of Workload On Student Evaluations Of Teaching, Jennifer Kramp
ETD Archive
There are several intermingled factors that have been proposed to influence the results seen on student evaluations of teaching (SETs). Two suggested factors are workload and expected grade. Research has suggested both a positive and negative correlation with scores seen on SETs and workload levels. However, the direction of the relationship may depend upon whether the workload was perceived as "good" or "bad." For the purposes of this study, good workload can be defined as work that the student felt increased his or her knowledge of the subject at hand. Bad workload can be defined as work that the student …
Regulatory Fit And Consumer Brand Preferences, Johnny A. Sams
Regulatory Fit And Consumer Brand Preferences, Johnny A. Sams
ETD Archive
Research has demonstrated that consumer perceptions of products are affected by the "fit" between their regulatory focus or goal orientation and their conception of what products can offer in terms of satisfying the goals activated by that orientation. This research has focused on product features and the way product messages are framed for consumers. However, research has not focused on fit in terms of brand names and the types of regulatory orientations (promotion vs. prevention) that can be associated with them. This issue has potential implications for consumers and how products can be more effectively marketed to them. Given that …
Preliminary Normative Data Of The Poreh And Martincin Naming Tests, Kelly M. Martincin
Preliminary Normative Data Of The Poreh And Martincin Naming Tests, Kelly M. Martincin
ETD Archive
The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate the validity of the Poreh and Martincin Naming Tests, used to evaluate naming difficulties in demented populations. The Poreh and Martincin Naming Tests will be two new computerized tests used to examine anomia, a form of aphasia in which one has difficulty with naming. Both community and clinical groups were sampled, with each participant being administered the Boston Naming Test, the Poreh Naming Test, and Martincin Naming Test, and a task of verbal fluency. Each community sample participant over the age of 65 and every clinical sample participant also received …
Examining The Errors And Self-Corrections On The Stroop Test, Ashley K. Miller
Examining The Errors And Self-Corrections On The Stroop Test, Ashley K. Miller
ETD Archive
The purpose of this study was to collect normative data for a computer-assisted version of the Comalli Stroop Test, a commonly used neuropsychological measure. Additionally, the study was aimed at investigating the self-corrected errors on the Stroop Test, which have not previously been accounted for on the traditional test versions. Participants included one hundred and seventy two individuals from Cleveland State University and the community. Participants were administered computer-assisted versions of the Comalli Stroop Test and Trail Making Test. Participants were also asked to rate their agreement to four statements on a 5-level Likert scale to assess self-perceptions of testing. …
A Reexamination Of The Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Questionnaire Reliability And Validity In A College Student Sample, Rachel Martukovich
A Reexamination Of The Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Questionnaire Reliability And Validity In A College Student Sample, Rachel Martukovich
ETD Archive
The present research was designed to evaluate the reliability and validity of a new measure for Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, namely the Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder Questionnaire (OCPDQ). One hundred and forty students at a Midwestern urban university were administered the OCPDQ as well as the Leyton Obsessional Inventory (LOI Cooper, 1970) and the Padua Inventory-Washington State University Revision (PI-WSUR Burns, Keortege, Formea, & Sternberger, 1996). The reliability and validity of the OCPDQ were analyzed and each of the eight subscales that corresponded to the eight criteria for OCPD were examined. The OCPDQ had a high level of reliability with …

ETD Archive
Bosnian refugees, living in Cleveland Ohio, completed questionnaires during the months of March and April of 2009. This study sample consisted of 41 participants, 21 males and 20 females, who have lived in Bosnia for any duration of time during the civil war that took place between May of 1992 to November of 1995. This study employed several assessment measures: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) and Multidimensional Index of Life Quality (MILQ). The Following hypothesis were proposed: 1) Manifestation of PTSD symptoms of post war trauma will be significantly higher amongst the …
