The Impact Of Spiritual Maturity On Clinical Mental Health Counseling Students' Intentions To Engage In Social Justice Advocacy, James Samuel Strickland Jan 2017

The Impact Of Spiritual Maturity On Clinical Mental Health Counseling Students' Intentions To Engage In Social Justice Advocacy, James Samuel Strickland

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The ACA Code of Ethics (2014) provides a set of professional values which frequently exceeds law in an effort to ensure that clients are protected. As such, The ACA Code of Ethics (2014) states, “counselors are aware of-and avoid imposing- their own values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors” (section A.4.b). However, legal cases pertaining to conflict between personal values and professional values when counselors fail to bracket personal values has been on the rise within the counseling profession.

Short-Term Study Abroad And Dialect Acquisition: An Analysis Of The Acquisition Of The Ustedes-Vosotros Verbal Mixing By Study Abroad L2 Learners Of Spanish, Samuel Collins Hearn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The growth in the popularity of studying abroad has led to the proliferation of programs of various lengths, among which is the short-term study abroad program, typically lasting around one month. Much needed investigation remains regarding the effectiveness of short-term study abroad programs, and this study aims to understand the level of effectiveness through the lens of dialect feature acquisition. Specifically, in southwestern Andalucía, there exists a phenomenon in which local speakers of Spanish mix the pronoun ustedes with the verbal conjugation of the second person plural pronoun, vosotros. …

The study found that the average student score of 2.75 out of five financial literacy questions was comparable to the national average …


The Case For Personal Interaction: Drop-Off/Pick-Up Methodology For Survey Research, Carla Koons Trentelman, Jessica Irwin, Kyle A. Petersen, Nallely Ruiz, Caitlin S. Szalay Dec 2016

The Case For Personal Interaction: Drop-Off/Pick-Up Methodology For Survey Research, Carla Koons Trentelman, Jessica Irwin, Kyle A. Petersen, Nallely Ruiz, Caitlin S. Szalay

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Researchers have struggled with decreases in response rates in surveys using traditional methods. Dropoff/pick-up (DOPU) surveys are an alternative that performs well in some research situations. For studies in small or compact geographic areas, DOPU has achieved higher response rates than mail surveys, although typically at higher costs due to labor and transportation. Other benefits include increased local awareness of research projects and improved outcomes for complex survey projects. Social exchange theory would explain the success of DOPU as due to the method’s personal interaction. Many researchers are unfamiliar with DOPU and prior instructive works are now dated. In an …
