Use Of The Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory To Identify Addiction In College Students, Kathleen M. Gierhart

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Considering the severity of the substance abuse problems on college campuses today, there exists a need for an empirical measure designed to identify substance addiction in college students which will allow universities to provide appropriate intervention and treatment programming. The Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) was designed to identify addiction in the general public with the special ability to break through the denial and defensiveness typically associated with substance abuse. The SASSI was administered to students participating in a substance education program at a private, midsized university in the Midwest. A chi-square analysis, adjusted by the Fisher Exact test, …

Ta Mentoring: Issues And Questions, Pamela L. Gray, Martin G. Murray

Basic Communication Course Annual

The widespread use of graduate teaching assistants (TAs) in higher education has generated a search for techniques to improve the quality of teaching of TAs as well as enhance the entire TA experience. One such technique is mentoring. This paper attempts to accomplish four things: (a) delineate issues to be addressed, (b) share feedback from educators with mentoring experience, (c) present questions to guide decision making, and (d) provide a bibliography of literature on mentoring. The information presented comes from a questionnaire administered to basic course directors, a conference discussion on mentoring and the personal experiences of the authors.

Predictors Of Success In A Co-Correctional Halfway House: A Discriminant Analysis, Patrick G. Donnelly, Brian E. Forschner

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

Considerable research and debate have focused on the effectiveness of community correctional programs. Much of the research does not address the issue of the effectiveness of programs for persons with different types of problems or criminal histories. This article utilizes discriminant analysis to determine the characteristics of persons most likely to succeed in one halfway house. The results indicate that strong socializing and integrating ties in the community and few previous contacts with the criminal justice system are major predictors of success in a halfway house program. The seven discriminators for females are used to accurately predict 87 percent of …

The Introduction Of A Speech: Do Good Introductions Predict A Good Speech?, Valerie A. Whitecap

Basic Communication Course Annual

Can the introduction predict the success or failure of the speech? Does anything predict a successful speech? First, textbooks were examined to see what is being taught about introductions. Then the results of the first speeches given by freshmen and sophomores in a hybrid communication course were studied to see if successful introductions predicted successful speeches. Finally, some other predictors to speech success are discussed, including public speaking experience and the verbality of the student's chosen major.

This comparison of the introduction of the speech and the subsequent grade on the speech was done as a preliminary "think piece," so …

The Use Of Role Models In Teaching Public Speaking, Lauren A. Vicker

Both groups were videotaped presenting their own speeches, and these speeches were rated by a group of senior speech majors at another college. Means of the ratings for each speaker were analyzed using a two-sample t-test. Results did not support the hypothesis that …
