The Role Of Leadership With Compassion Fatigue In Caregiving Professions, Ashley Kitchell

M.S. in Leadership

Compassion fatigue is an issue that has plagued caregiving fields for years. The burnout, stress and lack of support has been a topic of discussion that is ongoing due to constant research and interest on the ever-popular topic. Though there is much research, the problem still exists. This paper looks at how management and leadership play a role on compassion fatigue, coping strategies and skills needed to help mitigate the symptoms, and what more is needed. Through my research, I found that the most influential piece regarding compassion fatigue in caregiving professions relies heavily on the management styles and workplace …

Casebooks, Bias, And Information Literacy—Do Law Librarians Have A Duty?, Kathleen Fletcher

Law Faculty Scholarship

The third principle of the American Association of Law Libraries’ Principles and Standards for Legal Research Competencies states, “A successful researcher critically evaluates information.” This evaluation includes evaluating legal information of material under criteria of “authority, credibility, currency, authenticity, relevance, and bias. ”Does this standard include information contained in legal casebooks? This article’s goal is to show examples of case treatment in casebooks in Constitutional Law, Property, and Civil Procedure which demonstrate authors’ biases in their selection and editing of cases. Under the AALL standards and the ACRL Standards and Framework for Information literacy, librarians should teach students how to …

Altered Alpha Oscillatory Power Dynamics Underlie Difficulties With Cognitive Flexibility, Nicole Forner

Doctoral Dissertations

Cognitive flexibility is an important mental faculty, but there are certain populations that experience reduced flexibility, which may be associated with altered neural activity. Rumination is when an individual becomes mentally stuck on a thought, and they experience difficulty shifting their attention away from the ruminative thought demonstrating reduced cognitive flexibility. In a similar manner, individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder show varying degrees of attentional bias towards drug related stimuli. The drug cues capture attention, and it is difficult for these individuals to shift attention away from thoughts related to drug cues. Both populations experience difficulty shifting attention when …

The Dissemination And Reproduction Of Dominant Ideologies On Social Media: Reddit Through The Lens Of Color-Blind Racism And Gender-Blind Sexism, Paul Anskat

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explores the frameworks of color-blind racism and gender-blind sexism as they are disseminated through the social media site Reddit. I analyze data in the form of posts and comments submitted to the site. Qualitative discourse analysis reveals employment of the frames of color-blindness and gender-blindness as well as narratives which function to anchor the dominant ideologies to apparent lived experiences. This dissertation offers two major contributions to the scholarship of racism and sexism. First, the findings demonstrate that ideologies of race and gender are often articulated through common narratives and intertwined rhetoric, establishing a foundation for future research …

The Influence Of Third Parties, Perfectionism, And Familial Socioeconomic Status On College Student Mental Health And Perceptions Of Social Support, Amanda Fontaine

Doctoral Dissertations

Mental health has long been a fruitful area of sociological inquiry, and much remains to be illuminated about the ways in which the social context and intrapersonal factors intersect to impact individuals’ psychological wellbeing. Among college students particularly, stresses such as academic pressure and interpersonal conflicts contribute to the degradation of mental health. While sociological theories such as the stress process perspective have long been employed to study linkages between stress and mental wellbeing among this population, few studies have examined the specific characteristics of social relationships most beneficial to students in distress. Utilizing survey responses collected from both public …

Seneca, The Humors, And Revenge Tragedy, Andrew Stesienko

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation argues that moral and religious authorities of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods adapted rules for emotional governance from Senecan philosophy. These Senecan rules helped institute a performance-based approach to managing emotion, which relied on programmatic meditation, rhetoric, and behavior to change one’s emotional state. This approach ostensibly offered more personal control over affective inclination, which according to the period’s Galenic paradigms, was heavily influenced by environmental and physiological factors. My project examines revenge tragedy to highlight Senecan-inspired affect management as practiced by aspiring avengers. Because revenging hopefuls must amplify and then mobilize their feelings in order to achieve …

A Longitudinal Examination Of The Mediating Role Of Various Sources Of Social Support On The Relation Between Peer And Sibling Victimization And Adolescent Delinquency, Katie Chantlos

Master's Theses and Capstones

Peer victimization has proven to be a prevalent issue for children and adolescents. The current study examined the possible bidirectional effect between peer and sibling victimization and delinquency, and assessed whether social support from family, friends, and other non-parental adults would mediate this association. Using longitudinal data from the Technology Harassment Victimization study, 791 participants were surveyed via telephone. Bivariate correlations were calculated first, and two Poisson regressions predicting delinquency and peer and sibling victimization at Time 2 were also performed. Three structural equation models with cross-lagged designs were also calculated. In the Poisson regressions, family and other adult social …

Relationship Form And Function: Exploring Meaning-Making In Young Adults' Romantic Histories, Tyler B. Jamison, Caroline M. Sanner

Faculty Publications

Forming stable, supportive romantic relationships is an important determinant of well-being for adults. Yet, there has been limited research about if and how prior romantic experiences help individuals develop the capacity to enter into such unions. Using grounded theory methods, relationship history interviews were conducted with 35 young adults who provided data about 256 romantic and sexual relationships. The different relationship forms (e.g., hooking up, casual dating, committed partnering) were found to contribute in nuanced ways to romantic development. Specifically, romantic development was characterized by gaining romantic experience, identifying preferences for partners and partnership, and learning to maintain healthy relational …

Resiliency Of Healthcare Workers During The Sars-Cov-2 Pandemic, Robert Fishwick

M.S. in Health Care Management

The novel Coronavirus-2019 created a world-wide health care crisis generating an overwhelming burden of illness and mortality resulting in physical and emotional distress of health care workers. Frontline healthcare workers remain fearful of infection, death, and the risk of COVID-19 transmission not only to themselves, but to their families. In many cases, these individuals developed post-traumatic stress and other mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual concerns, resulting in a decline of resilience and burn out. The aim of this project is to identify issues linking emotional stress, anxiety, and depression secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic in frontline respiratory therapists working in …

Survivors: The Forgotten Followers Of Toxic Leadership, Jason Grant

M.S. in Leadership

This research calls for more research about toxic followers. The current body of research identifies two general categories. Generally, followers misbehave by either conforming or colluding with the toxic leader. However, given the complicated nature of defining toxic leadership as a relatively new leadership style and even less literature about susceptible followers, there may be a third type of follower not yet understood; survivors.

Creating An Introductory Workshop For Leaders On Emotional Intelligence, Ashley Eskel

M.S. in Leadership

This proposal aims to discuss literature relevant to introductory findings on emotional intelligence (EI) to establish the foundation for the creation of an introductory workshop for leaders. While it may be common knowledge that leaders require certain attributes to effectively manage those they lead, research has found that an awareness of emotional intelligence as a skill is highly effective in developing leaders who not only inspire, but also encourage employee engagement and retention by route of fostering a positive work environment. As this project is not in the form of a formal research paper, the intent of this proposal is …

Emotional Intelligence: The Key To Staff Retention, Ashley Wilson

M.S. in Leadership

This research intends to make a case that leaders with emotional intelligence are the key to maintaining good employees using two primary resources both academic journals and employee questionnaires completed by non-profit area agency staff. This literature review will make a compelling argument that emotional intelligence in leaders is a pertinent characteristic when determining the cause behind staff retention. It will conclude with ways in which leaders can learn emotional intelligence and use that knowledge to ensure job satisfaction and strengthen staff retention.

Leadership Styles Of Music Ensemble Conductors, Tyler Gioacchini

M.S. in Leadership

There is existing literature discussing musical ensemble conductors as leaders which assesses leadership qualities from the perspective of ensemble member perception and experience. Although this follower-focused orientation is valuable, there is an opportunity to understand how conductors act in leaderful ways. To understand how conductors are filling the role of leaders for musical ensembles, this research discusses feedback gathered from several conductors about how they incorporate characteristics and behaviors of servant and transformational leadership into their work.

Elite Cues And The Rapid Decline Of Trust In Science Agencies On Covid-19, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Thomas G. Safford

Faculty Publications

The COVID-19 pandemic has been marked by political divisions in US public trust of scientists. Such divisions are well known on other science topics, but regarding COVID-19 they arose suddenly, with disastrous results. Public distrust of scientists has been variously explained in terms of conflicts with belief systems, psychology, peer influences, or communication from elites. Three surveys conducted from March to July 2020 in the US state of New Hampshire observed changing perceptions on COVID-19, providing a test of alternative explanations. Over this period trust in science agencies such as the CDC for information on the coronavirus fell dramatically among …
