Implications For Counselors When Working With Gay And Lesbian Adolescents, Lois Groth

Graduate Research Papers

Living as a member of the gay and lesbian community has become increasingly accepted by the general public. However, some people continue to view the homosexual population with fear and hatred (Thomas, 1992). Although statistics vary, the Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, Inc. (1987), estimated that 10% of the population is homosexual. Of that 1 0%, as many as 34% have attempted suicide

An Evaluation Of 15 Studies Concerning The Effectiveness Of Tutorial Cai, Chin-Kau Tung

Graduate Research Papers

Increased use of the computer in business, in the classroom, and in the home has become apparent in recent years. Especially, the amount of computers in classrooms has been increasing rapidly in the last several years. According to Tolman and Allred (1991), the number of microcomputers and terminals in U.S. schools was estimated to be between 200,000 and 300,000 in 1982. In 1989, the number had increased to approximately 2.4 million. According to U.S. government statistics, the number of computers in homes is elevating. At the beginning of the 1980s, there were fewer than one million, but by the end …

Women In Poverty: Characteristics, Challenges And Treatment Implications, Lynda Quame

Graduate Research Papers

In 1985 there were approximately 446,000 individuals living in poverty in Iowa, which is nearly 15.5% of the state's population of 2.88 million (Welfare Reform in Iowa, 1989). Theisen (1991) stated that nationally, greater than one third of those in poverty are women. Jenkins and Miller (1991) asserted that two out of three adults in poverty today are women and that one half of all households containing people in poverty are headed by women.

The Psychology Of Occultism & Ritual Abuse, Cindy D. Whitmer

Graduate Research Papers

For years psychological literature has included cases and treatment implications for individuals affected by emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Most recently, ritual abuse, a rather new topic in the mental health arena, has emerged, but unfortunately seems to be a problem that has been in existence a very long time. Some have said ritual abuse started with satanic worship dated as far back as 610 A.D. in Southeastern Europe (Daniels, 1989). Others disagreed, saying this form of worship did not appear until the Christian church was established (Kahaner, 1988), and that in the 19th century a new spiritualistic movement began …

Effectiveness Of The Iowa Family Preservation Project, Jennifer S. Werger

Graduate Research Papers

In 1987 the Iowa legislature began looking at the number of foster care placements and their cost to the state (Rode, 1991). Between 1982-1987 there has been a 40% increase in foster care placements despite an 8% decline in the state's child population (Rode, 1991). Fuqua and Conger (1987) projected that the need for foster care in Iowa would continue to grow and the number of available foster care family homes would continue to decline. This increase was believed to be in part due to the lack of any formal statewide program with the capacity to intervene effectively in the …

The School Counselor's Role In Working With Elementary Students Diagnosed With Cancer, Sherrie J. Zeutenhorst

Graduate Research Papers

The annual incidence of pediatric cancers in the United States is approximately 12 per 100,000 children and six to seven thousand cases are diagnosed each year. Cancer accounts for the greatest number of disease-related deaths in children under 16 years of age, exceeded only by accidents. Fifty to sixty percent of cancer patients achieve a 5-year disease-free survival and possible cure (Ross, 1984; Perry & Flanagan, 1986; Spinetta & Deasy-Spinetta, 1981).

The Impact Of Childhood Death On The Surviving Sibling, Patricia J. Rottinghaus

Graduate Research Papers

When a child is dying of kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, or cancer, the child is referred to as "the victim of chronic or terminal illness". That child is not the only victim. The destructive effects of such diseases spread to all members of the families of those affected. New events and activities such as the care of the patient, trips to the hospital, and absences of family members due to hospitalizations become a part of the everyday lives of these families. Family life, as it was once known, no longer appears to exist. Even periods of remission of the child's …

Working With Stepchildren: The Role Of The School Counselor, Susan M. Johnson

Graduate Research Papers

The structure of the family is constantly changing. Cherlin and Furstenberg (1983) predicted that by the year 2000, families of remarriages will be one of the types of families that dominate the personal lives of most Americans. A "remarried family" involves a married couple with the husband, the wife, or both in a second or subsequent marriage. Children under 18 in the home who were born before the remarriage occurred are considered stepchildren in the constituted stepfamily (Glick, 1988). Glick also reported that stepfamilies currently represent 17.4% of households with children under age 18 (Sims & Crosbie-Burnett, 1989).

Analysis And Recommendations, Robert F. Long

National Youth Leadership Symposium Monographs

The Institute for Youth Leaders' 1992 National Youth Leadership Symposium contributed to the emerging youth development profession and attending academic discipline through a formal examination of the principles of moving " theory into practice." This theme was selected as the next step in a logical sequence of symposia themes. In 1990 the gathering established agreement on the critical competencies needed in youth development professional practice. The 1991 experience built on the set of competencies with the identification of common ground for professional development among the organizations serving the needs of youth. With agreement on the needed competencies and the common …

The Portrayal Of Interracial Families In Children’S And Young Adult Fiction Books, Judy Mitchell

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of the study was to analyze the content of children's and young adult fiction books which portray contemporary interracial families. A checklist was prepared to address how the structures of these families are being presented. Three hypotheses were rejected. The first hypothesis stated that the majority of the interracial families portrayed would include on African American and one caucasian parent. The data showed that only forty-one percent of the families fit that criterion. The third hypothesis stated that the majority of interracial families would encourage their children to accept both sides of their heritage. The data, however, showed …

An Examination Of The Six Roles Of The Dental Hygienist In Relation To The Field Dependence-Field Independence Construct, Melanie R. Hamer

Graduate Research Papers

Dental hygienists are seeking to remain viable health professionals in the midst of social, political, and economic changes which are occurring in the United States. These changes are expected to accelerate as the nation evolves from an industrial-based society to an information-based society (American Dental Hygienists' Association, 1988) (ADHA) . The shift to an information-based society will have an impact upon health care delivery in the future (Turner, 1988). If the dental hygiene profession is to remain viable in a rapidly changing society, dental hygienists' educational institutions must respond to change.

Job Characteristics Of Construction Craftsmen And Their Relationships To Affective Work Outcomes, Musibau Adeola Shofoluwe

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This research was undertaken to investigate the extent to which employee-perceived job characteristics were related to internal work motivation and general satisfaction. Research shows that the structure of work has a significant influence on the motivation and general satisfaction of workers.

A job characteristic model developed by Hackman and Oldham (1980) was used as a basis for conducting this study. The study population consisted of construction craft workers who were registered members of the bricklayers, carpenters, and electrical unions located in a mid-western state. Job diagnostic survey questionnaires were mailed to 650 craftsmen. A total of 236 (36.3%) instruments were …
