The Effects Of Adhd Child And Parenting Groups, Tonya Yvonne Gardner-Hernandez
The Effects Of Adhd Child And Parenting Groups, Tonya Yvonne Gardner-Hernandez
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed childhood disorders in the United States. The symptomatic behaviors of ADHD often start as noncompliant behaviors, which can manifest themselves into increasingly inappropriate behaviors. If left untreated ADHD can become the catalyst for additional disruptive behavior disorders, as the child develops and begins to experience an increase in academic demands, family and peer rejection; This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design that was implemented in four separate ADHD parent and child groups. There were 16 child participants and 9 parent participants. Three of the five hypotheses were accepted. The children's …

This study consists of twenty respondents, ten male and ten female, taken from a larger study of 100 former foster care youth. The main areas addressed in this study include investigation into the youth's foster care experience, their level of preparation to transition to life on their own, and their post foster care adjustment. Outcomes indicative of poor adjustment in the community were …
The Philosophical And Historical Dynamics Of Watsuji Tetsuro's Cultural Phenomenology, Edgar Allan Weir
The Philosophical And Historical Dynamics Of Watsuji Tetsuro's Cultural Phenomenology, Edgar Allan Weir
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This study will examine one of the greatest modern Japanese philosophers, Watsuji Tetsuro. In a long and prodigious life Watsuji produced some of the most insightful works now extant in ethics, cultural identity, and intellectual history. This work will explicate two pillars of Watsuji's philosophy: the source of authentic Japanese identity and the primacy of human relationships within that authenticity. This study will also uncover the conjunctures between history and thought that sparked the developments and transformations in Watsuji's philosophy. More importantly, it will attempt to free Watsuji's theories from telelogical approaches that have utilized the war, erroneously conflating Watsuji's …
Evoked Expectations And Evaluational Reactions To Accented English, Caridad F. Brito
Evoked Expectations And Evaluational Reactions To Accented English, Caridad F. Brito
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Researchers have found that variations in listeners' judgments of speakers are associated with the speakers' accent. It was hypothesized that: (1) Spanish accented speakers would be evaluated less favorably than standard English speakers; (2) listeners would rate both accented and non-accented speakers on the basis of their expectations and not according to the speakers' actual vocal characteristics; (3) listeners would evaluate speakers differently, depending upon the lexical complexity of the speech utilized by speakers; and (4) listeners would evaluate standard and nonstandard English speakers differently, depending upon the speakers' gender. One hundred-twenty subjects evaluated four speakers on semantic differential type …

Becoming Long-Term Caregivers: A Qualitative Study Of Meaning-Making And Transformation In Families Of Persons With Mental Retardation Or Other Developmental Disabilities, Beatrice Rose Guilbault
Becoming Long-Term Caregivers: A Qualitative Study Of Meaning-Making And Transformation In Families Of Persons With Mental Retardation Or Other Developmental Disabilities, Beatrice Rose Guilbault
Open Access Dissertations
This is a study of the process by which families make meaningful and adapt to mental retardation or other developmental disability in a family member. Learning that a child has disabilities which will require long-term caregiving is a disorganizing event which precipitates a shift in a family's self-defining paradigm, a reframing of what it means for this group of people to call themselves "family." In order to become long-term caregivers, family members must first make meaningful the event which will transform their lives. Next, they must revise their definition of family so that it includes long-term caregiving. Seventeen families contributed …
Can The Influence Of Base Rate Information Be Distinguished From The Influence Of Gender Stereotypes In The Psychiatric Diagnostic Decision Making Process?, Maureen Mccormick
Can The Influence Of Base Rate Information Be Distinguished From The Influence Of Gender Stereotypes In The Psychiatric Diagnostic Decision Making Process?, Maureen Mccormick
Open Access Dissertations
A correct diagnosis may be critical to the implementation of an appropriate treatment plan for a patient. Many factors contribute to the difficulty of assigning a correct psychiatric diagnosis, including misuse, or less than optimal use, of information. Many studies have documented underutilization of base rate data in prediction. Research into the use of stereotypes has demonstrated that too much reliance on an individual's membership in a group may also affect decision making. What is the appropriate use of base rate data and group membership in psychiatric diagnosis? It was hypothesized that participants would underutilize base rates in a low …
To Parcel Or Not To Parcel: The Effects Of Item Parceling In Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Brett A. Plummer
To Parcel Or Not To Parcel: The Effects Of Item Parceling In Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Brett A. Plummer
Open Access Dissertations
When testing confirmatory factor analysis (CF A) models, the researcher may either utilize individual items as the manifest variables for the model, or use item parcels or composites, i.e., the sum or average of a set of individual items. Utilizing parcels instead of items may affect the chance of obtaining a proper solution, the fit of the model, and model parameter estimates. Unfortunately there is little previous research to guide the decision to choose between a parcel-level analysis and an item-level analysis. This investigation examined the current status of parceling in the literature and the impacts of parceling through three …
Paving The Road: A Charles Hamilton Houston Approach To Securing Trans Rights, Jennifer L. Levi
Paving The Road: A Charles Hamilton Houston Approach To Securing Trans Rights, Jennifer L. Levi
Faculty Scholarship
This Article argues that securing the rights of transgender people requires a comprehensive and long-term litigation strategy and suggests Charles Hamilton Houston as the architect of the modern Civil Rights movement and the inspiration for a trans rights litigation strategy. Section II briefly details the life of Charles Hamilton Houston and focuses on the legal strategy he designed and carried out to overturn Plessy. It continues by drawing some conclusions about what Houston's plan teaches about the struggle for trans rights and a trans litigation strategy. Section III examines the reasons certain cases challenge assumptions about sex and gender, such …

Econlit: Light On The Dismal Science, Jim Millhorn
Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship
The article examines the weaknesses and strengths of the economics database, EconLit. Comparison is made with other social science databases with especial emphasis on the alphanumeric classification and indexing system unique to EconLit. The general conclusion is that, despite the high value of its information content, EconLit would benefit by adhering closer to the indexing practices of other mainline social science databases.
Rights Of Passage: A Cross -Cultural Study Of Maroon Novels By Black Women., Randi Gray Kristensen
Rights Of Passage: A Cross -Cultural Study Of Maroon Novels By Black Women., Randi Gray Kristensen
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study investigates the use and implications of the trope of marronage, the African-American practice of self-emancipation to forge alternative New World communities, in selected novels by Black women writers of North America and the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean. It draws on theories of liminality to posit a theory of liberatory practice that deconstructs hegemonic narratives, both personal and historical. Postmodern approaches are deferred in favor of locating these texts and their concerns as deriving from the epistemological consequences of modernity. Cross-cultural Black women's texts were chosen to illuminate the recognition of shared subjugations across national and linguistic borders, as …
Organizational Cognitive Complexity: Determinants And Consequences., Stern Parker Neill
Organizational Cognitive Complexity: Determinants And Consequences., Stern Parker Neill
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Marketing strategy formation is a complex process. Strategic decision-making involves participation by multiple organizational members with diverse and sometimes conflicting viewpoints. Beyond the cognitive capacity of individual decision-makers, marketing strategy develops through an emergent process that engages the collective efforts and interpretive capabilities of various representatives of the organization. This study examines the relationships among organizational context, processes, and outcomes. Specifically, organizations are examined as cognitive units stimulated by perceived environmental turbulence, team functional diversity, and an open-minded culture. These factors enhance cognitive complexity, which is the organization's capacity to perceive its environment in a multidimensional way. With greater cognitive …
Personal Factors Affecting Sales Performance: Modeling The Effects Of Experience, Competitiveness, Self -Efficacy, Effort, And Creativity., Guangping Wang
Personal Factors Affecting Sales Performance: Modeling The Effects Of Experience, Competitiveness, Self -Efficacy, Effort, And Creativity., Guangping Wang
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Sales performance represents an important ongoing research stream to both academicians and practitioners. It is widely recognized that personal/individual factors affect how salespeople perform. Despite the numerous studies, the search for the most powerful determinants of salesperson performance has largely been unsuccessful (Churchill et al. 1985). This dissertation makes another attempt to understand the effects of select personal factors on salespeople's performance. In particular, a neglected personal factor, salesperson creativity, is introduced as a direct predictor of performance. Based on the social psychological research on creativity and the in-depth personal interviews with sales managers in various industries, the author defines …
A Narrative Study Of Selected Introductory College Biology Students' Struggles To Gain An Understanding Of Scale And Measurement., Juliana Guillory Hinton
A Narrative Study Of Selected Introductory College Biology Students' Struggles To Gain An Understanding Of Scale And Measurement., Juliana Guillory Hinton
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Case studies, developed with criteria from Yin's Case Study Research: Design and Methods (1994), probed single mental constructs of four introductory college biology students who were recent high school graduates. Data sources included autobiographical essays, interviews, coconstructed concept maps (Wandersee & Abrams, 1993), a videotape questionnaire, and graphics. A multisensory microscopy experiment provided the setting for the construction of shared meanings by the participants. Concept maps were used then to explore the existing cognitive framework of the participants. This research affirmed the value of supporting graphic organizers for understanding science (Good & Berger, 1998; Hyerle, 1996; Trowbridge & Wandersee, 1998). …
Understanding The Biological Concept "Bird": A Kindergarten Case Study., Dilek Buchholz
Understanding The Biological Concept "Bird": A Kindergarten Case Study., Dilek Buchholz
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this qualitative, multiple case study of 14 students in a metropolitan public school in the Deep South was to find out, during a period of three months, what these kindergarten-aged children knew about birds, whether this knowledge represented current scientific thought, if such science instruction meaningfully affected their prior knowledge, and if so, what the factors during instruction that seemed to influence their understanding of the concept of bird were. The research was conducted in three phases; preinstruction interviews, instruction, and postinstruction interviews. The theoretical framework for this research was based on the Human Constructivism theory of …
Workplace Whining: Antecedents And Process Of Noninstrumental Complaining., Anita Konieczka Heck
Workplace Whining: Antecedents And Process Of Noninstrumental Complaining., Anita Konieczka Heck
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this dissertation was to develop a conceptual scheme that advances understanding of workplace whining. It reports an investigation into eight theoretically relevant antecedents to workplace whining, classified into four categories (i.e., dispositional, attitudinal, relational, behavioral). Additionally, it explores the role of organization-based self-esteem in mediating the link between each antecedent and workplace whining. Kowalski's (1996) theory of complaining and self-esteem theory (Coopersmith, 1967, Epstein, 1973; Jones, 1973; Leary & Downs, 1995, Mruk, 1995; Pierce et al., 1989) provided the primary theoretical underpinnings for a series of hypothesized relationships. Data on 471 schoolteachers and their immediate supervisors from …

Interaction Between Cognitive Styles And Assessment Approaches., Mehtap Cakan
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The present study investigated the interaction of cognitive style and assessment format (multiple-choice (MC) and performance-based assessments (PBA)) in second language proficiency. The participants consisted of 258 eighth-grade students. The second language achievement of the students was assessed by the Eighth Grade Proficiency/Credit Exam: French I. The cognitive style of the students was assessed by the Group Embedded Figures Test. The study also examined study habits and attitudes of field-dependent (FD) and field-independent (FI) students toward the two assessment formats. The study utilized a sequential mixed-model design, consisting of both quantitative and qualitative methods. Phase I consisted of a quantitative …
The Influence Of Gender -Related Beliefs On Students Motor Skill Learning., Donald Gregory Scott Belcher
The Influence Of Gender -Related Beliefs On Students Motor Skill Learning., Donald Gregory Scott Belcher
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of beliefs about gender appropriateness and conceptions of ability on perceived and actual competence and patterns of behavior during practice of a sex typed masculine task, the hockey wrist shot. Sixty-eight undergraduate females formed four homogeneous treatment conditions based on their beliefs about gender appropriateness and conceptions of ability: Masculine Innate (MI), Masculine Acquired (MA), Neutral Innate (NI), and Neutral Acquired (NA). Four teachers taught across all of the treatment conditions for a total of 16 learning groups. Each of the learning episodes reinforced the gender appropriateness and conception of …
Slain In The Spirit: A Vodun Aesthetic In Selected Works Of Simone Schwarz -Bart, Zora Neale Hurston, And Paule Marshall., Maria Thecla Smith
Slain In The Spirit: A Vodun Aesthetic In Selected Works Of Simone Schwarz -Bart, Zora Neale Hurston, And Paule Marshall., Maria Thecla Smith
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study, focusing on select novels by women writers of the African diaspora, discovers a surprising commonality among works with obvious geographical, cultural and linguistic differences---an affirmation of the philosophical essence of the Vodun religion as an antidote to Western spiritual and cultural moribundity. Each of the novels---Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Simone Schwarz-Bart's Pluie et Vent sur Telumee Miracle, and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow---alludes to the Vodun pantheon, ancestor veneration and/or rituals in order to valorize the holistic Vodun worldview that recognizes the interconnectedness of all living things and the fluidity of boundaries between …
