Father Involvement: Conceptualizing, Synthesizing, And Testing The Effects On Children’S Behavioral, Socioemotional, And Educational Outcomes At Middle Childhood, Jamel T. Slaughter

Social Work Dissertations - Archive

A systematic search was conducted across eight databases using the keywords: “measure*, scale*, father* or paternal*, and involve*. A final sample of 17 studies were identified for a systematic review. A total of eleven (five child-reported and six father-reported) father involvement scales were used in the studies. Guided by a heuristic contextual model of father involvement, secondary data from Waves 5 and 9 of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study were analyzed to assess the effects of father involvement (mother and father report of father involvement) at five years of age on children’s internalizing, externalizing, and delinquency behaviors and …

Understanding The Connection Between Clinically Diagnosed Adhd (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), And/Or Depression, With Childhood Abuse/Maltreatment: A Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Synthesis, Miriam Tepper

2018 Fall Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic, neurological disorder diagnosed in children who show symptoms of inattention, and/or hyperactive/impulsive behaviors. Considering that these symptoms overlap with some symptoms of abuse and neglect, it is necessary to further explore how to differentiate. A Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Synthesis (QIMS) was conducted to synthesize results from existing qualitative studies on students who were abused or neglected. Almost 150 school-aged students and 14 agencies were included in this paper. Six major themes emerged: 1) setting the stage, 2) the unexpected role of school, 3) how it started, 4) how it ended, 5) long term …

Discourse After A Batterer Intervention Program: A Qualitative Analysis Of “Letters From The Future”, Christopher D. Kilgore, Peter Lehmann, Rachel Voth Schrag

Social Work Faculty Publications & Presentations-Archive

This exploratory study employs discourse and narrative analysis to assess men’s (n= 45) responses to a writing assignment completed at the end of a solution-focused voluntary batterer intervention program. The study finds that the men primarily use the assignment to reassure themselves of their future success, defined through traditionally male paradigms. The narrative analysis then divides the letters according to type: Participants (22.7%) use a “transformative” discourse of behavior change and intimate partner violence (IPV)-sustaining discourse (18.2%), but the plurality (38.6%) use both simultaneously. The ideological conflict demonstrated in these responses highlights how IPV-sustaining discourse is embedded within broader sociocultural …

Organizational Socialization: The Role Of Onboarding In Employee Longevity, Jaclyn T. West Aug 2018

Organizational Socialization: The Role Of Onboarding In Employee Longevity, Jaclyn T. West

Psychology Dissertations - Archive

This study proposed testing a model linking employees’ onboarding experience within the first three months at an organization with their tenure through the mediators of perceived supervisor (PSS) and organizational support (POS) while considering the moderator of reason for leaving. We hypothesized that data would show positive linkages between onboarding experience and increased PSS and POS leading to increased tenure and that these relationships would change under conditions of the moderator. The data included employees from a national financial institution who had all voluntarily left the organization and who also completed an onboarding survey after their first 90 days on …

Religion And Resiliency Among Female Afghan Special Immigrant Visa Holders, Sahil K. Gilani Aug 2018

Religion And Resiliency Among Female Afghan Special Immigrant Visa Holders, Sahil K. Gilani

Social Work Theses - Archive

This thesis analyzed the relationship between the religiosity of four newly-arrived female Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders in the Dallas area and its impact on their resiliency, coping, and outlook on their new lives in the United States. The research was conducted through a phenomenological qualitative approach, which allowed the researcher to capture the lived experiences, feelings, and meanings that female SIVs attach to certain phenomena in their social environment (Husserl, 2012). The study hoped to add to the existing evidence-based research and knowledge on the efficacy, or lack thereof, of using religion as a coping mechanism.

Exploring The Predictors Of Well-Being And Advance Directives Among Elder Orphans: A Mixed Methods Study, Rupal M. Parekh

Social Work Dissertations - Archive

Elder orphan is a term popularized by the media to describe the more than 22% of community-dwelling US adults aging alone with limited social support, social isolation, multiple chronic health issues, and childlessness. Elder orphans who have not initiated advance directives are at risk of becoming unbefriended, having no able or willing family or friends to make medical decisions during acute injury or medical crisis. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study was to understand the determinants of well-being and advance care planning. A cross-sectional analysis of members (n = 368) of an online Facebook group of elder orphans …

An Exploration Of National Family Caregiver Support Programs Serving Informal Grandparent Caregivers: A Descriptive Phenomenology Approach, Dorothea Lagail Ivey

Social Work Dissertations - Archive

Grandparent caregiving is a widespread form of kinship care in the U.S. More than 2.7 million of grandparents in the U.S. are the primary caregivers for grandchildren without parental involvement (US Census Bureau, 2012). A particular group among grandparent caregivers often excluded in social services are those that are raising grandchildren informally without child welfare involvement. Informal grandparent caregivers (IGCs) are increasing and will continue to play significant roles in raising grandchildren for many generations (Ehrle et. al., 2001; Gibson & Singh, 2004; Goodman & Silverman, 2001). The National Family Caregiving Support Program (NFCSP) was enacted in 2000 and provides …

Intentionally Cultivating Diverse Community For Radically Open Access Makerspaces, Katie Musick Peery, Morgan Chivers

UTA Libraries Staff Publications - Archive

Academic makerspaces which are discipline-agnostic face the daunting task of trying to meet the needs of a humbling array of approaches to inquiry while maintaining a sustainable and safe environment for making. Establishing a set of policies that does not place structural barriers based on discipline demographics is a substantially separate process from establishing a sociocultural environment that earnestly facilitates "the imaginative work of interdisciplinarity" for faculty and student research within a simultaneous variety of departmental affiliations and backgrounds. This paper explores the multifaceted efforts undertaken at the University of Texas at Arlington FabLab to legitimately serve as wide a …

Barriers To Self-Sufficiency For Syrian Refugees After Resettlement, Alexi Ellen De Lathouder

Social Work Theses - Archive

This case study serves as insight into the barriers to refugee self-sufficiency for resettled Syrians. An understanding of the refugee experience and obstacles faced after the initial resettlement period was developed through in-depth interviews of a resettled Syrian family in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Via case study and summative content analysis, the practicality of this population achieving self-sufficiency was analyzed. The results produced were compared with previous research to determine significance. The findings and discussion of language, finances, health, and social services resulted in implications for policy and further research regarding the Syrian refugee population.

Crossover Youth Prevention: Predictors Of Youth Crossover From Child Welfare To Juvenile Justice, Marcus R. Crawford May 2018

Crossover Youth Prevention: Predictors Of Youth Crossover From Child Welfare To Juvenile Justice, Marcus R. Crawford

Social Work Dissertations - Archive

By some estimates, as many as 60% of youth in the juvenile justice system have previous experience in the child welfare system, with delinquency rates among youth in foster care about 50% higher than among youth not involved in foster care (Ryan & Testa, 2005; Sickmund & Puzzanchera, 2014). Identifying factors that impact crossing over from the child protective system into the juvenile justice system is essential to developing interventions targeting youth success and derailing the criminal pathway of many United States adolescents. Decades of research have shown that youth who enter foster care are at an increased risk for …
