Archival Orientation Interviews As Social Interactions, Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

For social scientists, every orientation interview is inherently an opportunity for systematic observation, analysis, and critique. Consider, by way of contrast, a hypothetical committee of mathematicians who visit archival repositories searching for documentary materials to display during the upcoming centennial celebration of the Mathematics Department at their home university. As mathematicians, orientation interviews are simply means to their pragmatic ends. For social scientists, however, especially for qualitative sociologists such as myself (Hill 1993), the situation is more complex. For some of us, every social interaction is potentially a source of sociological insight (Deegan and Hill 1987). Thus, every orientation interview …

A Risk-Amplification Model Of Victimization And Depressive Symptoms Among Runaway And Homeless Adolescents, Les B. Whitbeck, Dan R. Hoyt, Kevin Yoder

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

This report is an examination of a theoretical model of risk amplification within a sample of 255 homeless and runaway adolescents. The young people were interviewed on the streets and in shelters in urban centers of four Midwestern states. Separate models were examined for males (n = 102) and females (n = 153). Results indicated that street experiences such as affiliation with deviant peers, deviant subsistence strategies, risky sexual behaviors, and drug and/or alcohol use amplified the effects of early family abuse on victimization and depressive symptoms for young women. These street adaptations significantly increased the likelihood of serious victimization …

The Courage Of Our Convictions, Sherman J. Clark

Michigan Law Review

This article argues that criminal trial juries perform an important but inadequately appreciated social function. I suggest that jury trials serve as a means through which we as a community take responsibility for - own up to - inherently problematic judgments regarding the blameworthiness or culpability of our fellow citizens. This is distinct from saying that jury trials are a method of making judgments about culpability. They are that; but they are also a means through which we confront our own agency in those judgments. The jury is an institution through which we as individuals take a turn acknowledging and …

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study examined whether there were significant differences between male and female counselors-in-training (CITs), at three levels of supervised training experience in preference for supervisor characteristics of attractiveness, expertness, or trustworthiness. The Supervisor Rating Form (Heppner & Handley, 1982), renamed the Supervisor Preference Form for the current study, was used to assess these three dimensions. Participants in the study consisted of 70 females and 28 males who met the inclusion criteria of enrollment in a CACREP-accredited Master's or APA-accredited doctoral program in counselingPsychology, or were interns from an accredited program in an APA-accredited internship. The participants were divided into level …

Inflammatory Proteins In Alzheimer's Disease, Maria Nikolaeva

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is clinically characterized by progressive mental decline. The pathomorphology of AD includes the accumulation of abnormal filaments, known as neurofibrillary tangles or NFT, within the nerve cells and of extracellular deposits of amyloid fibers surrounded by dystrophic neurites that form senile plaques. Many inflammatory proteins have been found in association with lesions in AD brain, but the role of the inflammatory reactions in AD pathogenesis is not known. The goal of this study was to analyze the relationship between the inflammatory and neuropathological changes in AD brain through examining the density of lesions immunoreactive for inflammatory proteins …

Mother -Daughter Attachment, Social Support, Relationship With Husband, And Socioeconomic Status As Predictors Of Postpartum Depression, Dana Giles Lasek

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to investigate whether the independent variables of mother-daughter attachment, social support, relationship with husband, and socioeconomic status would significantly predict postpartum depression. The sample consisted of 42 women between the ages of 18 and 38 who were in attendance at prenatal classes at two community hospitals. The independent variables were measured using the Mother-Daughter Attachment Scale (MDAS); the Norbeck Social Support Questionnaire (NSSQ); the Relationship with Husband Subscale (RHU) which was contained within the Lederman Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire; and the Hollingshead Two-Factor index of Social Position. The dependent variable was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression …

Physician Attitudes Toward Clinical Health Psychologists In Medical Settings, Katherine T. Kelly

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The primary healthcare system is noted to be the de facto mental health system in the United States” (Stroshal, 1996). Despite this fact, patients typically do not receive the appropriate behavioral treatment to ameliorate their pain and suffering (Resnick & Rozensky, 1996). The present study attempted to investigate physicians' attitudes toward psychologists in medical settings with regard to whether these attitudes are influenced by (a) levels of medically/psychologically based medical conditions, (b) level of resident training, (c) level of exposure to psychological services, and (d) level of emphasis on psychological training within the medical schools. Thirty-nine female and forty-five male …

Plasticity In Avian Unihemispheric Sleep: An Antipredator Function, Niels Christian Rattenborg

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A largely unexplored area in behavioral ecology is the inherent conflict between sleep and wakefulness. Wakefulness is an adaptive state that allows animals to interact with their environment, yet its efficacy is contingent upon prior sleep, a vulnerable state of reduced responsiveness. Birds and aquatic mammals have essentially side-stepped this problem by simultaneously engaging in both wakefulness and sleep; one cerebral hemisphere sleeps while the other remains awake, a unique state known as unihemispheric sleep. In aquatic mammals, unihemispheric sleep allows sleep and sufacing to breathe to occur concurrently. However, the adaptive function of avian unihemispheric sleep has been unclear. …
