Health -Related Quality Of Life In Multiple Sclerosis: Measurement, Predictors And Utilization In Routine Clinical Practice, Vivek S. Pawar
Health -Related Quality Of Life In Multiple Sclerosis: Measurement, Predictors And Utilization In Routine Clinical Practice, Vivek S. Pawar
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
There are a large number of patient-reported questionnaires to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). In order to make a recommendation for use in clinical practice, a comparison of their psychometric properties is necessary. In addition to accurate assessment, it is also necessary to identify factors that have a significant impact on HRQoL. Further, lack of use of HRQoL information in clinical practice warrants examination of attitudes and behavior of neurologists about HRQoL assessment and their intention to consider incorporating HRQoL information in their decision making. This study collected data from patients with MS …
Navigating The Ethical Quandaries Of Wraparound Multi -Systemic Treatment (Mst): A Comparative Study Between In -Home And Outpatient Therapies, Joseph M. Roberts
Navigating The Ethical Quandaries Of Wraparound Multi -Systemic Treatment (Mst): A Comparative Study Between In -Home And Outpatient Therapies, Joseph M. Roberts
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Multisystemic treatments (MST) have become a significant force in the mental health community over the past decade. Yet, scant literature is available in regards to differing ethical considerations that may arise when working outside of a traditional office setting. The current research reviewed key ethical issues within the therapeutic relationship (i.e., confidentiality, dual roles), and extended the discussion to pertinent, often unrecognized issues endemic to in-home service modalities (i.e., confidentiality, role confusion, client diffusion, and unintentional witnessing).;More specifically, this research examined whether certain ethical violations are perceived to occur less frequently in outpatient settings compared to in-home settings. It was …

Relationship Between Self-Esteem And Academic Achievement Among College Undergraduates, Jennifer Lynn Geletko
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The author investigated the relationship between undergraduates' self-esteem, current cumulative grade point average, race, and gender. A sample of 160 undergraduate students from West Virginia University completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. In addition, the participants completed a demographic page, which included questions about their race, gender, and grade point average. The author assessed the relationship by performing a three way analysis of variance between the variables. In addition, Chi Square tests and correlations were run to test any further relationships. The results showed no correlation between self-esteem and grade point average. There were no significant main effects for gender or …
The Effects Of Social Bond And Neutralization On Juvenile Drug Usage, Adam Shields
The Effects Of Social Bond And Neutralization On Juvenile Drug Usage, Adam Shields
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of social bond and neutralization on juvenile drug usage. Part I of the Evaluation of the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Program in the United States (1995-1999) was used for the data analysis. When controlling for other variables, the data revealed that juveniles who accept neutralization of stealing and juveniles who are involved with other delinquent peers are more likely to use illegal drugs. In addition, the data revealed that an adolescent's gender was significant in determining drug usage. The results generally support Hirschi's (1969) Social Bond Theory, and …
Media Representation And Portrayal Of African-American Athletes, Justin Zackal
Media Representation And Portrayal Of African-American Athletes, Justin Zackal
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The racial composition of athletes competing at major colleges and in professional sports in America is disproportioned to the general population and journalists that cover their sports. With African-Americans accounting for such a large contingent of athletes, how their race is perceived by society is often predicated on the coverage they receive. The purpose of this study is to look at the importance of media coverage of African-American athletes, and to show if White media scrutinize African-American athletes more than they do White athletes. The misrepresentation of African-American athletes in the press box could mean an unequal playing field in …
Understanding The Psychosocial Development Of Neighborhoods: Implications For Situational Policing, Jeri Kirby
Understanding The Psychosocial Development Of Neighborhoods: Implications For Situational Policing, Jeri Kirby
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Community policing strategies are aimed at reducing crime and getting neighbors more involved. These goals of achieving safe neighborhoods seem just outside of the police department's reach. The police have been unable to achieve sustained satisfaction with the residents while also deterring crime and disorder. Research has suggested that collective efficacy within neighborhoods has a strong relation to the level of crime and disorder (Sampson, 1999). Assuming that neighborhoods have unique properties/characteristics, other researchers explored the idea that neighborhoods behave like groups and develop through identifiable stages (Nolan, 2004). Using qualitative methods inside the Pittsburgh Police Department and in four …
A Reexamination Of The Distributive Politics Model And The Allocation Of Federal Community Development Block Grant (Cdbg) Dollars, Howard A. Stern
A Reexamination Of The Distributive Politics Model And The Allocation Of Federal Community Development Block Grant (Cdbg) Dollars, Howard A. Stern
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The literature on the distributive politics model suggests that elected officials strategically allocate public benefits to curry favors, secure votes and gain reelection. In other words, elected officials distribute public benefits in such a way as to enhance their own personal careers and goals. Unfortunately, this centralized, top-down perspective (Rich 1989), which focuses exclusively on the motivations of the elected officials, fails to consider the political, economic and social characteristics of the governmental unit represented by the officials. These contextual factors may influence the allocation decisions made by the elected officials. Thus, an expanded distributive politics model---one that takes into …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The current study addresses the potential negative impact of exposure to violent lyrical music on West Virginia University undergraduate college males' state anger, affective, physiological and aggressive behavioral action responses. In addition, relationships between the following variables were also examined: (a) level of trait anger and aggressive behavioral action responses, (b) level of trait anger control and aggressive behavioral action responses, (c) level of trait anger expression and aggressive behavioral action responses, (d) overall anger expression index and aggressive behavioral action responses, (e) daily music listening and aggressive behavioral action responses, and (f) prior music exposure and aggressive behavioral action …
Connecting Wv Fee-Fishing Businesses With The Larger Tourism Market Through The Development Of Tourism Package, Zongxiang Mei
Connecting Wv Fee-Fishing Businesses With The Larger Tourism Market Through The Development Of Tourism Package, Zongxiang Mei
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
There is substantial demand for fishing packages in West Virginia. Fee-fishing businesses in West Virginia are often characterized as small businesses, and they could benefit from connecting with larger travel packages that are more likely to attract out-of-state anglers. The objectives are: (1) identify mini-market segments based on fee-fishing experiences; (2) examine how fee-fishing mini-markets can better connect with the larger outdoor recreation markets; and (3) to use this information to identify gaps in recreational offerings and develop tourism packages in a West Virginia test market. Six fee-fishing mini-markets were identified. Regression analysis results indicate that it is possible to …
Democracy By Any Other Name Just Isn't The Same, Clarissa Estep
Democracy By Any Other Name Just Isn't The Same, Clarissa Estep
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Democracy has been one of the fundamental achievements in the post-World War II era. Because evidence of the democratic peace exists, illiberal states are being pressured to form democracies. However, democratic consolidation, on which the democratic peace relies, remains a persistent problem of the Third World. Thus, the paradox remains that democratizing states are prone to violence which undermines peace and security. Considering that the majority of states in the international community are mixed regimes, or anocracies, this poses a problem for reducing interstate and intrastate conflict in these regimes. It is not enough to declare success with the establishment …
Resistance To Change Of Responding To Stimulus Relations, Marta Leon
Resistance To Change Of Responding To Stimulus Relations, Marta Leon
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Three experiments assessed resistance to change of response accuracy under different reinforcement rates. Fifteen college students responded to a matching-to-sample task, with one set of baseline conditional relations reinforced at a rich rate and another set reinforced at a lean rate. In two experiments, resistance to change was assessed by presenting tests for emergent equivalence relations and then reversing some of the baseline conditional discriminations and examining changes in the equivalence classes after the reversal; the experiments differed in the presence or absence of overtraining for the rich condition. The third experiment assessed resistance to change by testing for emergent …
Training Nursing Students In Evidence-Based Nonpharmacological Pain Management Techniques, Jill E. Maclaren
Training Nursing Students In Evidence-Based Nonpharmacological Pain Management Techniques, Jill E. Maclaren
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Pain is a common and potentially debilitating condition. Whereas there is vast literature on developmentally appropriate behavioral techniques for pain management, results of curriculum evaluations and knowledge surveys reveal a dearth of awareness of these strategies in healthcare professionals. This study evaluated the effects of a brief didactic training program for student nurses in developmentally appropriate behavioral pain management strategies for children. Results indicated that students who received the training program had significantly more knowledge of behavioral strategies following the training program than they had evidenced before the program. Further, these participants evidenced higher knowledge following the training program than …
Efficacy Of In-Home Parent -Child Interaction Therapy, Lisa M. Ware
Efficacy Of In-Home Parent -Child Interaction Therapy, Lisa M. Ware
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
In recent years, there has been much discussion of the efficacy and effectiveness of mental health interventions for children as well as the transportation of empirically-supported treatments (ESTs) to field settings. While there have been efforts to improve dissemination of ESTs, little research has examined the efficacy of treatments in settings other than the traditional clinic. A logical initial step in this line of research is to examine whether the efficacy of ESTs can be demonstrated in community settings such as in the home environment. There are many hypothesized benefits to providing services in the home setting. Based on the …
Geographic Interpretation: The Role Of Spatial Knowledge In The Interpretation Of Natural Resources, Heidi Leigh Bailey
Geographic Interpretation: The Role Of Spatial Knowledge In The Interpretation Of Natural Resources, Heidi Leigh Bailey
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
A surge of interest in geographic information has stemmed from the recent proliferation of Geographic Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems, and web-based tools such as Google Earth. This growing interest in geographic information has many implications for natural resource interpretation. Visitor centers and interpretive centers have long been sources of geographic information---providing maps and exhibits depicting a site or region. Such displays come in all shapes and sizes and in a variety of media, including maps, models, projections, animations and dioramas. Yet missing from the field of interpretation is research on the effectiveness of these tools in conveying geographic information …
Gender-Role Development In Toddlers: The Association Between Parental Gender-Role Orientation And Toddler's Gender-Typed Behavior, Jennifer K. Hartley
Gender-Role Development In Toddlers: The Association Between Parental Gender-Role Orientation And Toddler's Gender-Typed Behavior, Jennifer K. Hartley
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Associations between the gender-role orientation of parents and the toy-play behavior of first-born infants were investigated. Fifteen fathers ( M age = 31.13, SD = 4.26) and 46 mothers ( M age = 28.13, SD = 4.97) completed self-administered questionnaires which included questions on feedback to play with gender-typed toys. ANOVA results indicated that mothers provided more masculine-typed toys for their sons than their daughters, and more feminine-typed toys for their daughters than their sons; fathers provided more feminine-typed toys for their daughters than their sons. In addition, mothers provided more encouragement to same-gender-typed play than cross-gender-typed play for both …

GPA scale was used to measure academic achievement. Thirty-three international undergraduate students participated this study. Students were asked to complete the survey and self-report GPA in the survey.;The correlations were found statistically significant between Academic Record problems and GPA, and between Social Personal problems and GPA. The Academic Record problems and Social Personal problems were both negatively correlated with GPA. Based …
Communication Organizational Orientations In An Instructional Setting, David Tibbles
Communication Organizational Orientations In An Instructional Setting, David Tibbles
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This study sought to determine if the organizational orientations of upward mobility, ambivalence, and indifference applied to students in the instructional setting. The McCroskey, Richmond, Johnson, and Smith (2004) Organizational Orientation Measure was adapted to a classroom setting to measure student orientations, and then the relationships between student orientations and student perceptions of teacher credibility, teacher nonverbal immediacy, student trait motivation, student state motivation, student beliefs and attitudes toward college, student affective learning, and student cognitive learning. Results indicate upward mobility had significant positive correlations with the dependent variables except cognitive learning while ambivalent and indifferent orientations had significant negative …
The Development Of A Typology For Interracial Relationships, Juan M. D'Brot
The Development Of A Typology For Interracial Relationships, Juan M. D'Brot
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Foeman and Nance's (1999) model of interracial relationship development could be adapted into a generalizable interracial relationship typology and whether there would be distinct differences in the affective, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions of each stage. Long-table analysis of four focus group interviews confirmed differences among the four stages of Foeman and Nance's model. Further examination of focus group transcripts revealed differences between the affective, cognitive, and behavioral dimension of each stage, but few differences between the affective and cognitive dimensions across stages. Implications for the study of relationship development, limitations, and …

Women's Livelihood Strategies In Diverse Contexts: Constructing Feminist Topographies In Appalachia And South Africa, Amy Danielle Pratt
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This dissertation investigates the livelihoods of women heading households in rural parts of Appalachia and South Africa and develops a conceptual and methodological framework for transnational, comparative feminist research. Situated within a feminist geographical framework that is informed by feminist materialism and livelihoods analyses, it focuses on both historical and contemporary socioeconomic, cultural, and political forces at various scales of analysis that either enable or restrict women's ways of 'making due' in the two regions. The study focuses on five counties in northern West Virginia in the Appalachian region and Limpopo, including the former bantustan of Venda, in South Africa …
Learning And Developing Professional Behaviors As Part Of An Entry-Level Physical Therapy Education: A Survey Of Students And Practicing Clinicians, D. Scott Davis
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the state of professionalism in the physical therapy profession. The literature suggests that professionalism is a concern in many professions including medicine, law, nursing, audiology, and physical therapy. Two separate but parallel surveys were used to identify the opinions and experiences of physical therapy students and licensed physical therapists. The student survey consisted of a four-page paper and pencil survey that was mailed to 20 randomly selected CAPTE accredited physical therapy programs. Of the 1,525 available students, 336 (22%) physical therapy students participated in the investigation. The clinician survey consisted of a …

An Evaluation Of Vibration And Other Effects On The Accuracy Of Grip And Push Force Recall, Thomas W. Mcdowell
An Evaluation Of Vibration And Other Effects On The Accuracy Of Grip And Push Force Recall, Thomas W. Mcdowell
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Operators of vibratory hand tools can be at risk of developing health problems associated with repeated forceful actions and exposure to intense hand-transmitted vibration. To better assess health risks, comprehensive risk evaluations of these tasks must include quantitative assessments of hand-tool coupling forces. Researchers have used instrumentation for such measurements; but those techniques may be ill-suited for certain field environments. Psychophysical force-recall techniques have been proposed as alternatives to handle instrumentation. This study comprised two experiments that examined the effects of vibration and other factors upon force-recall accuracy and reliability. In each experiment, participants applied specific grip and push forces …

The Complexity Of A Hybrid Life: Female Immigrants In France And Germany In Search Of Their Own Identity, Anneke V. Seynnaeve
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Female Muslim immigrants in France and Germany are increasingly experiencing challenges integrating into Western lifestyle. They have to adjust to occidental communities in which they try to incorporate their own traditions and values. They experience feelings of simultaneous belonging and rejection at the same time. My research concentrated on the adaptation of Muslim Women in Germany and France. Although many similarities exist between the French and German immigrant groups, it was necessary to examine each one separately. In order to understand Islamic female immigrants' quest for a new identity, it was beneficial not only to address the sociocultural aspects of …
The Evolution Of Product Placement: Consumer Awareness And Ethical Considerations, Leigh Ann Hornick
The Evolution Of Product Placement: Consumer Awareness And Ethical Considerations, Leigh Ann Hornick
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Found today in virtually every type of media, the practice of product placement has been around since the First World War. The concept of this form of advertising stems from the idea that studio executives are constantly seeking out cost effective ways to produce movies and marketers' are supporting ways to get their products seen. Moreover, advertisements are becoming a thing of the past with new technological devices that allow viewers to skip commercials. It was found throughout this study that although consumers are aware of the practice and deem it ethical, they still vastly believe it can be a …
Social Status And Behavioral Observations Of Children Exhibiting Comorbid Anxiety And Adhd Symptoms, Daniel B. Chorney
Social Status And Behavioral Observations Of Children Exhibiting Comorbid Anxiety And Adhd Symptoms, Daniel B. Chorney
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The development of strong and positive relationships early in childhood is key to later social adjustment. Many behaviors have been shown to be related to children's status among their peers, defining whether they will be seen as popular, rejected, neglected, controversial, or of average status in the child's peer group. Children who display anxious behaviors are often overlooked by their peers, while aggressive and disruptive behaviors can lead to rejection. A small proportion of students display both symptoms of anxiety and ADHD, and prior research fails to show what peer status group most represents these children, or what social interaction …

The Reggio Emilia Approach To Education And Its Relationship To Art Education, Debra N. Hart
The Reggio Emilia Approach To Education And Its Relationship To Art Education, Debra N. Hart
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This project deals with the concept of the Reggio Emilia approach to education. This open-ended, child-centered method of teaching is coming into light as a methodology used to educate children in a positive and nurturing manner. From its basic philosophy and its guiding principles, the Reggio Emilia approach to education has a strong foundation. Its background, historical context, and existing literature on educational psychology support the use of this method. Current practices in art education and national and state standards make it difficult to envision the implementation of the Reggio Emilia approach to education, since it would require a dramatic …

A Study Of The Concept Of Interactivity As It Applies To Online Newspapers, Bradley Thomas Pedersen
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This project examines how frequently a sampling of online newspapers incorporates interactive features into online content. The newspapers for the study represent the eastern, western and central regions of the United States. The analysis focused on the amount of links and their destination, opportunities for feedback and the use of images, video and audio. The study found that the sampled newspapers do not frequently use links, images, video and audio or give users opportunities to give feedback.
Comparison Of Parenting Practices, Acculturation, And The Acceptability Of Behavioral Parent Training Programs Between A Native American And A Non-Native American Sample, Joshua J. Masse
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Behavioral parent training (BPT) has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for children with disruptive behavior disorders. Although a great deal of promising research concerning BPT exists, it is important to recognize that current BPT programs were developed and normed based on European-American ideologies regarding parenting, with the assumption that these programs will apply to parents from cultural minority groups as well. The current study evaluated differences in parenting practices between a sample of Native American parents and non-Native parents. In addition, group differences regarding sensitivity and acceptability of techniques that are commonly used in BPT programs were …
