Fair Enough: Ethics And Entrepreneurship, Robert G. Crawford May 2006

Fair Enough: Ethics And Entrepreneurship, Robert G. Crawford

Faculty Publications

The "new" is presumptively something that ought to be but isn't. On what grounds should that something be permitted? In business, why are some things legal for sale - deemed moral - while other similar things are deemed illegal - or immoral? Is the ground of this approval process rational? Or is the ground for making such decisions just competing moral perspectives?

Internalized Shame As A Moderating Variable For Inhibited Sexual Difficulties In Adult Women Resulting From Childhood Sexual Abuse, Kristine Robinson May 2006

Internalized Shame As A Moderating Variable For Inhibited Sexual Difficulties In Adult Women Resulting From Childhood Sexual Abuse, Kristine Robinson

Theses and Dissertations

An adult female sample of childhood sexual abuse survivors (N=467) were surveyed to determine whether internalized shame moderated the effects of sexual inhibited difficulties. Other variables such as severity, duration, and frequency of sexual abuse, as well as whether physical abuse was also part of their experience, were examined to determine their role in later sexual inhibition. It was predicted that there would be a significant positive relationship between 1) Scores on variables of physical abuse, severity of abuse, frequency of abuse, duration of abuse, identity of the perpetrator and scores on the variable of inhibited sexual difficulties; 2) Scores …

Relation Of Fish Communities To Environmental Conditions In Urban Streams Of The Wasatch Front, Utah, Elise M. Giddings, Larry R. Brown, Terry M. Short, Michael R. Meador

Western North American Naturalist

Twenty-eight sites along the Wasatch Front, north central Utah, representing the range of urban land use intensity for wadeable streams of the area, were sampled in September 2000. Fish communities were assessed by single-pass electrofishing, and physical habitat and water-quality characteristics were measured. On average, nonnative species comprised 54% of species richness and 53% of relative abundance, although only Salmo trutta and Pimephales promelas were very abundant at any 1 site. Salmo trutta and Catostomus platyrhynchus, a native species, were the most widely distributed and abundant species captured. Analysis of fish communities using nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) revealed a …

Portrayal Of Disabilities In Caldecott Books, Tina Taylor, Mary Anne Prater, Jennifer Jenson

Faculty Publications

The authors read all of the books that received Caldecott Medal and Honor status awarded between 1938 and 2005 and found that 11 included a character with a disability. For each book, they analyzed characterizations of those with disabilities and generated tips for using the book to teach about disabilities. They argue that accurate portrayals of characters with disabilities, particularly the types of disabilities encountered most frequently by young children, are needed in award-winning picture books.

Parental Death And Its Impact On The Marital Satisfaction Of The Surviving Adult Child, Ryan Glenn Henry Apr 2006

Parental Death And Its Impact On The Marital Satisfaction Of The Surviving Adult Child, Ryan Glenn Henry

Theses and Dissertations

Previous literature has identified parental death as having a negative impact on the physical and mental health of the surviving adult child. In addition, research suggests that the marital satisfaction of a male or female adult child is negatively impacted after either a father or mother has died. The purpose of this research is to further study this topic by examining longitudinal dyadic data to determine how the death of a parent or death of an in-law impacts marital interaction when certain mediating variables are taken into account. Some of the mediating variables included quality of the parent-child relationship, caregiving, …

Linkages Between Family Cohesion And Sibling Relationships In Families Raising A Child With A Disability, Mary L. Jefferson Apr 2006

Linkages Between Family Cohesion And Sibling Relationships In Families Raising A Child With A Disability, Mary L. Jefferson

Theses and Dissertations

Family researchers have often reported that siblings of children with disabilities have mixed outcomes, some harmful, and some beneficial, but have neglected to investigate how the sibling relationship might be correlated with other factors, such as family cohesion. Therefore, 72 mothers and fathers raising a child with a disability and a child without a disability completed the Family Cohesion subscale of Bloom's family functioning measure and the Sibling Inventory of Behavior to determine interactions between parents' perceptions of family cohesion and sibling relationships. Results indicated that mothers and fathers' perceptions of cohesion and sibling relationships were not significantly different. Mothers' …

Bringing Love And Joy Into Counseling, Michael D. Adams, Matthew R. Draper, Camishe R. Hairston Apr 2006

Bringing Love And Joy Into Counseling, Michael D. Adams, Matthew R. Draper, Camishe R. Hairston

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

Currently many theories within the field of psychology ascribe to a hidden assumption that individualism is a value one should pursue in order to obtain an ideal life. The assumption of individualism is that happiness comes from living a life focused on the self, seeking self-fulfillment. This article looks at the impact this assumption has had on the practice of psychotherapy and asserts that happiness is found through living one's life in accordance with the moral standard of love, or charity. A definition of love is given, and the article discusses and illustrates with clinical examples how love has the …

Periodic Emergence Of Great Historians In The History Of Ancient Greece, Rome And China, Emil Páles, Miroslav Mikulecky Sr. Apr 2006

Periodic Emergence Of Great Historians In The History Of Ancient Greece, Rome And China, Emil Páles, Miroslav Mikulecky Sr.

Comparative Civilizations Review

A periodicity of about 500 years has been discovered in the history of Graeco-Roman and Chinese historiography and documented by means of inferential statistics. Great historians emerged periodically and synchronously in both cultural areas for at least two millennia or longer, although no liaison between historians in the West and Far East is known. It is a surprising fact that this periodicity as well as the times of maximum creativity have been foretold by Babylonian priests, who knew about this rhythm already before 600 B. C. What is the cause of this periodicity and synchronicity is an open question.

Considering The Relationship Between Religion And Psychology, Robert L. Gleave, Dallas R. Jensen, Roger Belisle, Philip L. Nelson Apr 2006

Considering The Relationship Between Religion And Psychology, Robert L. Gleave, Dallas R. Jensen, Roger Belisle, Philip L. Nelson

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

The interaction between Religion and Psychology, one of the founding principles of AMCAP, has been addressed several times in AMCAP forums (De Hoyos, 1982) and elsewhere (Richards & Bergin, 2005; Sorensen, 1981; Sperry & Shafranske, 2005). Many may have entered the helping professions to fulfill personal religious needs a well as service goals. The long standing dialogue on the topic of Religion in the helping professions will not end with this article, nor should it ever end in this life. We believe that examining the ways in which Religion and Psychology interface deserves the attention and effort of many minds, …

Individual Psychological Deficits, William Blake Paul Apr 2006

Individual Psychological Deficits, William Blake Paul

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

Traditional psychological theories fail to take into account individual psychological deficits and thus make false conclusions regarding sanity and insanity. These deficits include perception, experience, cognition, and affect. Modified definitions of sanity and insanity require different approaches to treatment of psychological issues.

An Empirical Study Of The Mother-Son Dyad In Relation To The Development Of Adult Male Homosexuality, Gregory L. Dickson, A. Dean Byrd, Ryan Howes, Heidi Drake Apr 2006

An Empirical Study Of The Mother-Son Dyad In Relation To The Development Of Adult Male Homosexuality, Gregory L. Dickson, A. Dean Byrd, Ryan Howes, Heidi Drake

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

Previous research suggests the need for further exploration of the parent-child relationship in the development of adult male homosexuality. Utilizing the Parent-Child Relations Questionnaire (PCR-II; Siegelman, 1979) 135 men (57 ego-syntonic homosexuals, 34 ego-dystonic homosexuals, and 44 heterosexuals) were surveyed. Results included significant group differences on the PCR-II Mother scales and on frequency of sexual abuse. Results are consistent with past studies which suggest an important role for enviromental factors in the development of homosexuality, as consistent with theoretical literature from an object relations perspective.
