Dietary, Cognitive, And Behavioral Variables As Predictors Of Weight Loss Maintenance, Lorisa. Pearce-Lewis Jan 1985

Dietary, Cognitive, And Behavioral Variables As Predictors Of Weight Loss Maintenance, Lorisa. Pearce-Lewis

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Obesity is a very complex problem involving dietary, psychological, social, and behavioral factors. Although behavioral treatment for obesity has been found to be effective for weight loss during treatment, results of studies to date on the prediction of long-term weight loss maintenance have been mixed and inconsistent. This study was conducted as a follow-up to a behavioral study by Zegman (1983) in an attempt to identify potential predictors of short- and long-term weight loss. Dietary, cognitive, and behavioral variables were examined by multiple regression analyses as possible predictors of short- and long-term weight loss were identified. Methodological questions were raised …

Interviewer Trustworthiness And Intended Self-Disclosure As A Function Of Verbal And Nonverbal Assurances Of Confidentiality, Randall G. Jordan Jan 1985

Interviewer Trustworthiness And Intended Self-Disclosure As A Function Of Verbal And Nonverbal Assurances Of Confidentiality, Randall G. Jordan

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study attempted to clarify to what degree assurances of confidentiality and interviewer behavior protective of confidentiality impacted an interviewee’s trust of an interviewer and subsequent willingness to self-disclose. Ninety-six undergraduates were asked interview questions. Male and female subjects were divided into four conditions: confidentiality statement/protective behavior, confidentiality statement/nonprotective behavior, neutral statement/protective behavior, and neutral statement/nonprotective behavior. The Intended Self-Disclosure Questionnaire and Counselor Rating Form were used to measure self-disclosure and trustworthiness levels. Results did not support the main hypothesis that protective behavior would have a more significant impact on self-disclosure and trustworthiness than verbal assurances of confidentiality. However, assurances …

The published contributions focus on directing, design, technical supervision, practicum instruction, and summer production work as forms of teaching, research, creative activity, and university service. Particular attention is given to the need for academic administrators to recognize theatre production as part of faculty workload rather than as uncompensated service. The piece also describes …

The Outsiders: Women In The Academy, Michele T. Myers

Women’s status in higher education is examined through legal, institutional, and statistical changes following major equity legislation of the early 1970s.

Chairman Burnout And Productivity: An Inverse Relationship, Robert N. Bostrom Aug 1984

Chairman Burnout And Productivity: An Inverse Relationship, Robert N. Bostrom

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Chairperson burnout is examined as a problem created by role ambiguity, high administrative expectations, limited authority, and reduced access to rewarding faculty activities. The article describes the academic chairperson as positioned between faculty and administration, expected to manage faculty concerns, departmental coordination, research support, instruction, records, personnel, and institutional paperwork without the full power often needed to enforce decisions. It connects these conditions to stress, declining morale, and reduced administrative effectiveness. The article also considers whether continued research productivity may help chairpersons preserve a faculty identity and resist burnout. By linking administrative strain to productivity, role conflict, and professional recognition, …

Administrative Burnout: A Woman’S Perspective, Lorayne W. Lester Aug 1984

Administrative Burnout: A Woman’S Perspective, Lorayne W. Lester

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines administrative burnout among women in higher education, with particular attention to theatre administration and male dominated university structures. It describes burnout as a condition shaped by workload, conflicting demands, isolation, limited support, and repeated challenges to professional authority. The article argues that women administrators often experience different pressures than men because of scarce peer networks, institutional paternalism, gendered expectations, and unequal access to informal systems of advice, sponsorship, and recognition. It situates these pressures within communication administration and academic leadership by connecting personal experience to broader concerns about faculty governance, administrative support, professional identity, and organizational culture. …
