A Study Of The School Principal Labor Market In Arkansas: Implications For Incentive-Based Compensation Policies To Improve Principal Quality, Marc Jacob Holley May 2009

A Study Of The School Principal Labor Market In Arkansas: Implications For Incentive-Based Compensation Policies To Improve Principal Quality, Marc Jacob Holley

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Improving principal quality in Arkansas may be a partial solution to the public policy problem of low performing public schools. Just as policymakers in other states are beginning to explore incentive-based compensation policies to improve principal quality, education policymakers in Arkansas should look to these policies as a way to align goals and minimize agency costs. Setting incentives tied to transparent, publicly available performance measures can resolve monitoring difficulties inherent in principal-agent relationships and can improve goal congruence by signaling clearly about policy priorities. Before plowing forward with performance pay reforms for school principals, Arkansas policymakers could make better decisions …

Gender Differences In Adolescent Lying Behavior Based On Type Of Lie, Lori Ann Hobrath Jan 2009

Gender Differences In Adolescent Lying Behavior Based On Type Of Lie, Lori Ann Hobrath

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Lying behavior is prevalent in children of all ages (Jensen, Arnett, Feldman, & Cauffman, 2004; Lewis, Stanger& Sullivan, 1989; Wilson, Smith & Ross, 2003). Frequency and acceptance of lying behavior has been shown to differ based on context of the lie, gender and age of the child, and type of lie (altruistic vs. self-serving reasons) (Jenson, Arnett, Feldman & Caufmann, 2004; Talwar & Lee, 2002b). The current study examined the relationship between gender, type of lie, and lying behavior in an adolescent sample. Forty-two 11- to 15-year-old adolescents from suburban Midwestern schools were given hypothetical vignettes and lying questionnaires to …
