The Power Of Administrative Ethics: Moving Beyond Moralism And Instrumentalism, Ciarán O’Kelly, Melvin J. Dubnick

Faculty Publications

This paper makes the case for an approach to administrative ethics that regards it as a form of political power within contexts of organization and organizational change (reform). After articulating the logic of this perspective, it is applied to two cases of reform (No Child Left Behind in the US and National Health Service reform in the UK) where reformers have used the power of metrics and high-stakes accountability to force change — and in the process have altered the respective ethical landscapes.

Accessing The Past As Landscape: The Danish Bog Bodies And Modern Memory, Jillian Price

Spectrum

This article will investigate variations on place-making involving the museum presentation of the well-preserved bodies of Danish bog sites. While any museum site holds the potential for such a critical analysis, bog bodies have a unique role in the narrative nature of place-making: they are individuals who experienced the story being told (assuming, of course, that the story is “true”). They are, in essence, characters in the created story of the “place-world.” Well-preserved bodies are fully recognizable as humans, with recognizably human faces and, sometimes, discernible facial hair. They seem almost ready to tell the story of the past themselves. …

Laboratory Technical Supplement For The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (Msceit), John D. Mayer

UNH Personality Lab

The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) User’s Manual (Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2002), published by MHS, provides a great deal of information about using the MSCEIT test. Since the publication of the MHS manual, additional issues have arisen within the test-user and research communities associated with the test. This brief technical document addresses two of those concerns.

This laboratory technical supplement covers two topics that arise regarding the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test: how to calculate a split half reliability for the test, and how to develop and score the test using local norms (i.e., national or regional norms, or norms …

Forging The Future: Community Leadership And Economic Change In Coös County, New Hampshire, Michele Dillon

Carsey Publications

Author Michele Dillon conducted a case study of community change in Coös County, New Hampshire, for two-and-a-half years (June 2009-December 2011) to investigate how local community leaders in Coös assess the initiatives, challenges, opportunities, and progress in the North Country during this time of economic transition. Her primary data-gathering method included personal interviews with community leaders, supplemented by observation, documentary, and survey data. Dillon discusses how there is a strong consensus among community leaders that Coös needs to work together as a county with a unified vision and voice while respecting the specific character, strengths, and needs of each local …

Understanding Child Abuse In Rural And Urban America: Risk Factors And Maltreatment Substantiation, Wendy A. Walsh, Marybeth J. Mattingly

Carsey Publications

Using a large national sample of child maltreatment reports, this brief compares the outcomes of child maltreatment cases in rural versus urban places and identifies the characteristics associated with substantiation. Child abuse cases substantiated in rural and urban areas share many caregiver risk factors, such as drug and alcohol abuse, and many family stressors. Substantiation is equally likely across income levels; approximately one-fourth of cases in each income level are substantiated. However, when place is taken into account, a greater share (36 percent) of higher-income families (that is, families with incomes greater than 200 percent of the federal poverty level) …

Accountability As Cultural Keyword, Melvin J. Dubnick

Faculty Publications

This paper examines “accountability” as a cultural phenomenon, and specifically as what Raymond Williams termed a “cultural keyword.” Williams designates as keywords those terms in a community’s vocabulary that not only provide meaningful insights into the priorities and values of that society, but also play a significant role in creating the dynamic cultural milieu that connects and shapes important and problematic social arenas. After positing that accountability has achieved cultural keyword status, I explore the term as a word, concept and speech act. (This is revision dated 5/23/2012.)

The Impact Of Multilingualism On Gpa Among College Undergraduates, Alexandra Kovalik

Perspectives

Very little research is available regarding the effects that multilingualism has on academic success. This specific study looks at 305 students at a large public university in the northeast who were surveyed about their grade point average and the number of languages that they are fluent in. After administering a survey to various preselected classrooms, data was entered and collated using STATA. The data shows that within our findings, there is no significant relationship between multilingualism and grade point average. Only 12% of our respondents were multilingual. 71% of multilingual students had a grade point average between 2.67 and 3.66, …
