Knowledge Of Aids, Perceived Risk Of Aids, And At-Risk Behaviors Among Older Adults, Cheryl Ann Maes Jan 1999

Knowledge Of Aids, Perceived Risk Of Aids, And At-Risk Behaviors Among Older Adults, Cheryl Ann Maes

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

By using a questionnaire derived from the Health Belief Model, this study examined older adults' knowledge of AIDS, perceptions of risk to AIDS, and at-risk behaviors. A total of 166 questionnaires were received from the EXCELL and Senior Adult Theater Group members actively enrolled at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The results indicated the respondents were knowledgeable about the transmission and seriousness of AIDS but were less knowledgeable about AIDS transmission through casual contact and the medical aspects of AIDS. Although they recognized the seriousness of AIDS, they generally do not believe that they are susceptible to this disease. …

Facilitating Social Development With Play Groups In Early Childhood Settings, Janet Avery Butz

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This study investigated the efficacy of using facilitated and nonfacilitated play groups as an intervention for facilitating the social interactive behaviors of young children with and without disabilities. Sixteen students aged four to five years from a community-based preschool on a university campus participated in the study. The facilitated play group was assigned a facilitator who was trained to encourage the social and play interactions among the children using the guided participation strategies adapted from the Integrated Play Groups Resource Manual (Wolfberg & Schuler, 1992). The nonfacilitated play group was assigned the same adult-whose only role was to monitor the …

Voluntary Participation And Spite In Public Good Provision Experiments: An International Comparison, Timothy N. Cason, Tatsuyoshi Saijo, Takehiko Yamato Jan 1999

Voluntary Participation And Spite In Public Good Provision Experiments: An International Comparison, Timothy N. Cason, Tatsuyoshi Saijo, Takehiko Yamato

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This paper studies public good provision in the laboratory using the voluntary contribution mechanism, in a cross-cultural experiment conducted in the United States and Japan. Our environment differs from the standard voluntary contribution mechanism because in one treatment, subjects first decide whether or not to participate in providing this public good. This participation decision is conveyed to the other subject prior to the subjects' contribution decisions. We find that only the American data support the evolutionary stable strategy Nash equilibrium predicitons, and that behavior is significantly different across countries. Japanese subjects are more likely to act spitefully in the early …

Parental Rights And The Ugly Duckling, Margaret F. Brinig, F. H. Buckley Jan 1999

Parental Rights And The Ugly Duckling, Margaret F. Brinig, F. H. Buckley

Journal Articles

Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" is best remembered for its moral, "To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg." Having read and thought about this story many times, we should like to suggest another, less heart-warming, interpretation. The story of the Ugly Duckling, that most resilient of cygnets, masks the tragedy of children who suffer abuse. Its message, that personal spirit will triumph when a child grows up, misrepresents the experience of many victimized children. If we wait for the child to …

Depression-Related Impairments In Prospective Memory, S. S. Rude, Paula T. Hertel, W. Jarrold, J. Covich, S. Hedlund Jan 1999

Depression-Related Impairments In Prospective Memory, S. S. Rude, Paula T. Hertel, W. Jarrold, J. Covich, S. Hedlund

Psychology Faculty Research

Time-based prospective memory, the ability to carry out a future intention at a specified time, was found to be impaired in a community sample of clinically depressed adults, relative to a nondepressed sample. Nondepressed participants monitored the time more frequently and, in the final block of the task, accelerated time-monitoring as the target time for the prospective memory response approached. These results are consistent with previous findings of depression-related impairments in retrospective memory tasks that require controlled, self-initiated processing.
