"Swim For Health": Program Evaluation Of A Multiagency Aquatic Activity Intervention In The United Kingdom, Adam B. Evans, Mike Sleap
"Swim For Health": Program Evaluation Of A Multiagency Aquatic Activity Intervention In The United Kingdom, Adam B. Evans, Mike Sleap
International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education
This study represents a program evaluation of "Swim for Health": a multiagency partnership in two local authorities in the United Kingdom that sought to increase aquatic activity participation among four target groups. A theory-driven, scientific program evaluation model was used to assess if the program achieved its stated aims (Rossi et al 2003). Chronological records were maintained. Participation figures were collected and triangulated with 20 semistructured interviews with program stakeholders. Barriers to program implementation included a lack of prior needs-analysis of service provision and the goals of the program did not always match those of stakeholders. However, Swim for Health …

Internal Noise Distractions In Lifeguarding, Rachel Cayman Griffiths, Tom J. Griffiths Ed.D.
Internal Noise Distractions In Lifeguarding, Rachel Cayman Griffiths, Tom J. Griffiths Ed.D.
International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education
A momentary lapse in supervision can be costly when it comes to lifeguarding. Drowning is quick and quiet, and can happen in a matter of seconds so distractions can be deadly. Lifeguards are trained to watch the water and avoid distractions. The biggest distraction causing lapses in supervision is often in their heads. Lifeguards might be looking at patrons in the water, with rescue tube in hands, but not really seeing the patrons in the water due to internal noise. Internal noise is a huge distraction because it is difficult for lifeguards to recognize when they are distracted by internal …

Burning The Candle At Both Ends: Extramarital Sex As A Precursor Of Marital Disruption, Alfred Demaris
Burning The Candle At Both Ends: Extramarital Sex As A Precursor Of Marital Disruption, Alfred Demaris
Sociology Faculty Publications
This study examines several aspects of the association between engaging in extramarital sex and the disruption of one’s marriage. Panel data on 1621 respondents followed from 1980 – 2000 in the Marital Instability Over the Life Course survey were utilized to answer these questions. Interval-censored Cox regression analysis revealed several noteworthy findings. As previously found in earlier analyses with these data, reports of problems due to extramarital involvement were strongly related to marital disruption, even holding constant the quality of the marriage. Although men were about three times more likely to be the cheating spouse, there was no difference in …

Unconscionability And The Contingent Assumptions Of Contract Theory, M. Neil Browne, Lauren Biksacky
Unconscionability And The Contingent Assumptions Of Contract Theory, M. Neil Browne, Lauren Biksacky
Economics Faculty Publications
In 1971, W. David Slawson estimated that 99% of all contracts do not resemble the Platonic ideal of a document of jointly negotiated terms, but rather are lists of terms presented by one party to the other on a pre-printed form.2 Although this estimate is forty years old, it underestimates our cur-rent market exchange situation; the pervasiveness of form contracts stipulat-ed by one party has increased.3 Contract law generally provides for the enforcement of such contracts, allowing the powerful party to essentially govern over consumers and weaker parties.4 Classical contract theory allows for this enforcement of contracts based upon a …
Fox In The Henhouse: A Study Of Police Officers Arrested For Crimes Associated With Domestic And/Or Family Violence, Philip M. Stinson, John Liederbach
Fox In The Henhouse: A Study Of Police Officers Arrested For Crimes Associated With Domestic And/Or Family Violence, Philip M. Stinson, John Liederbach
Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
The problem of violence within police families has been increasingly recognized as an important socio-legal issue, but there is a lack of empirical data on what has commonly been referred to as officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV). There are no comprehensive statistics available on OIDV and no government entity collects data on the criminal conviction of police officers for crimes associated with domestic and/or family violence. Prior self-report officer surveys are limited by the tendency to conceal instances of family violence and the interests of officers to maintain a "code of silence" to protect their careers. The purpose of the current …

Research Brief One-Sheet No.5: Police Criminal Misuse Of Conductive Energy Devices, Philip M. Stinson, Bradford W. Reyns, John Liederbach
Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
The purpose of the research is to explore and describe the nature and character of arrest cases that involve the criminal misuse of TASERS by police officers through a content analysis of news articles. The research specifically focuses on factors that were common among the arrest events involving CEDs, especially with regard to the actions and motivations of the arrested officers and how the situational context appeared to influence the criminal misconduct of police officers.
Detection Of Magnetic Field Intensity Gradient By Homing Pigeons (Columba Livia) In A Novel "Virtual Magnetic Map" Conditioning Paradigm, Verner Peter Bingman, Cordula V. Mora
Detection Of Magnetic Field Intensity Gradient By Homing Pigeons (Columba Livia) In A Novel "Virtual Magnetic Map" Conditioning Paradigm, Verner Peter Bingman, Cordula V. Mora
Psychology Faculty Publications
It has long been thought that birds may use the Earth's magnetic field not only as a compass for direction finding, but that it could also provide spatial information for position determination analogous to a map during navigation. Since magnetic field intensity varies systematically with latitude and theoretically could also provide longitudinal information during position determination, birds using a magnetic map should be able to discriminate magnetic field intensity cues in the laboratory. Here we demonstrate a novel behavioural paradigm requiring homing pigeons to identify the direction of a magnetic field intensity gradient in a "virtual magnetic map" during a …

The Arguments And Data In Favor Of Minimum Grading, James Carifio, Theodore Carey
The Arguments And Data In Favor Of Minimum Grading, James Carifio, Theodore Carey
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
The arguments and for and against minimum grading systems have grown increasingly more intense and acrimonious in the past decade. However, there has been an absence of empirical data, theory and clear comparative analyses of conflicting points of view. Critics of minimum grading contend that the practice will produce grade inflation and social promotions of those students receiving minimum grades as the two chief arguments against minimum grading practices. In our retrospective study, we found no evidence of grade inflation or social promotion of those students receiving minimum grades in a large urban High School using a school-wide macro minimum …
The Significance Of Genetics Across Disciplines: Genetic Counseling & Testing, Rachel Bertsch
The Significance Of Genetics Across Disciplines: Genetic Counseling & Testing, Rachel Bertsch
Honors Projects
Genetics is a rapidly expanding field that encompasses a variety of disciplines, especially within the health care field. Since the advent of the Human Genome Project, the abilities of genetic research has greatly increased, allowing us to create genetic tests that can search many genes and find mutations indicating disease or risk for future diseases or disorders. The widespread use of genetic testing has necessitated more genetic counseling to assist in explaining and returning test results to patients and their families. Additionally, genetic testing brings up outside considerations that are important to think about. Direct to consumer genetic testing, the …
The Effect Of Visual Wulst Lesions And Trigeminal Nerve Sectioning On The Discrimination Of Magnetic Inclination In The Homing Pigeon (Columba Livia), Merissa Acerbi
Honors Projects
The ability of homing pigeons to return to their loft from unknown places has fascinated scientists for centuries. It is well established that homing pigeons, like migratory birds, posses an innate magnetic inclination compass to determine direction by measuring the angle between the magnetic field vector and the Earth's surface. Recent work has indicated that the avian magnetic compass is light mediated and appears to mediate magnetic information to the brain. This occurs via a visual pathway with processing in the visual Wulst area of the forebrain. There is, however, also evidence from other avian species that magnetic direction may …
"She Puts Clues In Our Head:" Interactive And Independent Writing Instruction In A First Grade Classroom, Tammie L. Sherry
"She Puts Clues In Our Head:" Interactive And Independent Writing Instruction In A First Grade Classroom, Tammie L. Sherry
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
The purpose of this study was to examine a first grade teacher's instruction during interactive and independent writing times as she taught and prompted her students how to go about spelling unfamiliar words and employ various writing strategies while they were composing. I used a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. Results of the study indicated that the teacher’s strategic use of an apprenticeship model across two writing contexts allowed her to make explicit for her first graders the processes involved in spelling and writing from one context to another. Educational implications from the study support an apprenticeship model …

On Membership, Humility, And Pedagogical Responsibilities: A Correspondence On The Work Of Wendell Berry, Rebecca A. Martusewicz, Jeff Edmundson, Richard Kahn
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
Wendell Berry is a novelist, essayist, conservation activist and farmer who has had a lot to say over the last half century about the impact of modern industrial society on small farm communities and the land especially since WWII. In this three-way conversation, the authors take up central aspects of Berry’s work to think about how it has influenced their thinking as teacher educators focused on the intersections between social and ecological crises challenging our world. Themes of responsibility, leadership, community membership, friendship, “settler colonialism,” racism, land use, and ecological sustainability are brought to bear on education for just and …
"Why Isn’T There A Cure?" Emerging Empathy And Prosocial Behaviors Among Middle Childhood Children Responding To Real-World Issue Lessons, Hyeyoung Bang
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
The purpose of this study was to explore empathy and prosocial behaviors within real-world issues among Korean middle-childhood children living in Australia. Using a qualitative approach, seven students were engaged in six sessions of group or individual activities including five sessions of responding to video vignettes which demonstrated real-world issues related to children’s rights (poverty, war, child labor, environment, or disease) and one session for reflection. Analysis of data revealed emotional empathy including empathetic distress, empathetic anger, and emotional dissonance. Cognitive empathy was expressed through role-taking, comparison, and identification. Expressions of emotional and cognitive empathy, and prosocial intentions were linked …

Connected Representations Of Knowledge: Do Undergraduate Students Relate Algebraic Rational Expressions To Rational Numbers?, Jennifer Yantz
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
The attainment and retention of later algebra skills in high school has been identified as a factor significantly impacting students’ postsecondary success as STEM majors. Researchers maintain that learners develop meaning for algebraic procedures by forming connections to the basic number system properties. In the present study, the connections students form between algebraic procedures and basic number properties in the context of rational expressions was investigated. An assessment given to 107 undergraduate students in Precalculus that contained three pairs of closely matched algebraic and numeric rational expressions was analyzed. McNemar’s test indicated that the undergraduate students’ abilities related to algebraic …

Detecting Low Incidents Effects: The Value Of Mixed Methods Research Designs In Low-N Studies, Isadore Newman, Carolyn S. Ridenour, Carole Newman, Shannon Smith, Russell C. Brown
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
Many important educational situations such as traumatic brain injury among preschoolers, school gun violence, preadolescent eating disorders, and adolescent suicide happen relatively infrequently. In this article, the authors explain why mixed methods research designs offer more meaningful empirical results than do qualitative or quantitative designs alone when asking research questions about low incident situations. The authors present and explain three mixed methods models applicable to low incidents situations.

Inequity Aversion: Do Rats Get Jealous?, Hannah Douglas
Honors Projects
It is well known that humans have the capacity to prefer certain rewards over others. This idea has been studied in animals and is considered the relative reward processing theory. Research conducted on primates and rodents have found that they form an opinion on, and behave according to the relative magnitude of a reward compared to others (Cromwell, Hasani, & Schultz, 2005; Onge, Chiu, & Floresco, 2010). It is also accepted experience the emotion of jealousy in response to many different situations including uneven reward payoff. It has been theorized that some nonhuman animals including primates and domestic dogs are …
