Bullying Behaviors And Attachment Styles, Kylie Williams

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Peer victimization has become highly prevalent in Western schools with some studies showing that as many as 50% of high school students report having victimized or been victimized (Gaul, 2010). Past research has shown that several parental factors, such as involvement (ConnersBurrow et al., 2009) and support (Hill et al., 2004) have been linked to many childhood outcomes, such as the presence of aggressive behaviors. Parental involvement has also been linked to the likelihood of becoming a victim of school bullying (Jeynes, 2008). Although some researchers have found correlations between maternal attachment and externalizing behaviors in females and between paternal …

The Effects Of Simulation On Junior Level Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Self-Efficacy And Intrinsic Motivation, Michelle E. Dykes

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Nursing education is experiencing a generational phenomenon with student enrollment spanning three generations. Classrooms cultures are changing today and include some Baby Boomers and large numbers of Generation X, Generation Y, and second-degree seeking students. These culturally diverse groups of students have unique sets of learning characteristics. Given the current challenges of growing student diversity, balancing budgets, and meeting faculty shortages, nursing schools are pressed to find alternative teaching methods that are not only cost and labor saving but also effective and equitable for the diverse student groups. This quantitative, experimental research design study explored the effects of the alternative …

Separate But Equal? A Postmodern Analysis Of Educational Structures For Individuals With Disabilities, Donna Manning

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Although curriculum theorists have sought to examine the subjective practices imposed within the context of schooling in terms of class, gender, and race, the impact of disability as a social category has been absent from the field. In this work, postmodern analysis is applied to the concept of disability in field of education; first, in terms of the nature and effects of the practices educators employ to define normality, and secondly, in the constitution of the students who deviate from the norm as subjects. The techniques and procedures of investigation, surveillance, exclusion, treatment, confinement, and medicalization developed and engaged in …

Their Story, My Story, Our Story: Oral Histories Of African American Women Educators Paradoxical Navigation Of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Vanessa Sims Tossie

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This study explores the lives of three generations of African American women teachers in my family, my mother, Carolyn T. Sims, my aunt, Natalie T. Woods, and myself. Using Critical Race Theory (e.g., Delgado & Stefancic; 2001; Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995; Parker, Deyhle, & Villenas, 1999) as the theoretical framework and oral history (e.g., Armitage & Mercier, 2009; He, 2003; Jefferson, 2008; Scott-Simmons, 2008; Vaz, 1997) as the methodology, I explore the educational experience of my mother and my aunt during segregation, desegregation, and post segregation. I weave my experience of teaching as an African American teacher into the stories …

Assessing Event Quality Of High School Football Games: Development Of A Scale, Kevin Byon, Matthew Ziemnik, Eddie T. C. Lam, James J. Zhang

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

The purpose of this study was two-fold: (a) to identify the dimensions of event quality associated with high school football games and (b) to develop a scale, Event Quality Scale of High School Football (EQS-HSF) that measures event quality of high school football games. Applying a random cluster sampling method, participants were adult spectators (N = 404) from three high school football home games. Following the scale development procedures suggested by Churchill’s (1979), a total of 25 items under six factors (Game Attractiveness, Event Setting, Economic Consideration, Social Opportunity, Exciting Atmosphere, and Enjoyment Experience) were written and validated through qualitative …

An Integrated Model Of Media Satisfaction And Engagement: Theory, Empirical Assessment And Managerial Implications, Russ Merz

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

Media satisfaction theorists suggest that satisfaction with media vehicles is linked to audience loyalty, greater vehicle usage, and other media related behaviors. More recently, similar claims are made by media engagement theorists regarding levels of newspaper readership and receptivity to advertising messages. The dilemma for media managers charged with making decisions about how best to manage and strengthen customer relationships through the delivery of high quality business operations is which model to choose. To date no study has examined the relative effects of customer satisfaction and engagement resulting from business operations onto the future intentions of media audiences. This study …

An Experimental Approach To Testing Imc Effects On Consumer Attitudes, Behavioral Intentions And Recall, John M. Mcgrath

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

The objective of this study is twofold: to build upon the thin body of academic experimental research in the field of Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC), and to provide practitioners with methods they can use to test the effectiveness of marketing communication campaigns. On the first account, significant results were observed for attitude toward the ad (Aad), but only for a subset of the sample. Despite this, the experiment provides a framework for future academic studies of IMC effects and suggests specific ways that methods can be refined in future experiments. On the second account, the study’s design suggests opportunities for …

Social Marketing As A Catalyst For Building New Relationships Between Sport Practitioners And Academicians, Eric C. Schwarz, Dallas Branch

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

Social marketing, conceptualized by Kotler and Zaltman (1971) as a means to promote social objectives and causes more effectively, has the potential to be the catalyst for addressing the disparity and creating positive perceptions. Social marketing is a significant means to address communication, conceptualization, and intellectual gaps between groups, which often results in clarifying differences in product and value outcomes; and the need for change and shifts in paradigms associated with practitioner-academician interaction (Hanna, 2001). Primary and secondary research conducted showed that there is fragmentation within the sport industry between academicians and practitioners, resulting in a large intellectual gap. It …
