All Faculty Publications

The Cambodia Project: During 2000-2001, The Future Group launched its inaugural project in Southeast Asia to address child sex slavery and trafficking. For nearly one-hundred days, a deployment team of four worked with local organizations in Cambodia to implement new ideas to help the children affected by this crisis of international proportions.

Are We Buyers Or Hosts? A Memetic Approach To The First Amendment, Jeffrey E. Stake

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The First Amendment is often analyzed using the metaphor of the marketplace of ideas. Making use of memetic analysis, this article suggests that ideas should not be treated as inert products that we choose but as living things that sometimes exert some influence over their environment. Some of the ideas are more adept at surviving than others, and the ones that survive will not necessarily be good for humans. To account for the ability of some memes to replicate dangerously, the First Amendment should be read to allow governments to punish a speaker who advocates or threatens physical injury (other …

A Descriptive Survey Of Social Skills Training Practices For Preschool Children With Special Needs In Indiana, Carol Anne Mclean

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A statewide mail survey of specialEducation preschool teachers (N = 370, return rate of 51%) in Indiana was conducted to gather descriptive information about social skills training practices. Reported practices were compared to recommended practices from the theoretical literature. Results indicated a lack of formal training of teachers, lack of curriculum selection guidelines, lack of systematic assessment and intervention programs, and a lack of individualization of social skill training goals. Practices consistent with the theoretical literature were revealed including working with teams to develop IEP social skill goals, prioritizing social skills training activities, and effective use of observation assessment methods, …

Achievement Goals And Exam Performance: An Exploration Of The Role Of Study Strategies And Anticipatory Test Anxiety, Chris Andrew Baldwin

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The most influential approach to the study of achievement motivation in contemporary literature has been the achievement goal approach. Achievement motivation has been conceptualized by Elliot and colleagues (Elliot, 1997; 1999; Elliot & Church, 1997; Elliot & Harackiewicz, 1996; Elliot & McGregor, 1999; Elliot, McGregor, & Gable, 1999) as a hierarchical model in which achievement motives, need for achievement and, fear of failure, influence the adoption and pursuit of three distinct types of achievement goals (i.e., mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance). Pursuit of these various achievement goals, in turn, directly predicts achievement-relevant outcomes. Only recently has research begun to emerge exploring …

Asian American Mental Health Clients: Effects Of Ethnic Match And Age On Global Assessment And Visitation, Richard H. Dana, Glenn Gamst, Aghop Der-Karabetian, Terry Kramer

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

Effects of client-counselor ethnic match (i.e., match, no match) and client age group (child, adult) on counselor-evaluated Global Assessment of Function (GAF) and visitation were investigated. The sample consisted of 253 Asian-American outpatient clients (24.9% children 75.1% adults) of a community mental health center. Unadjusted results indicated that ethnically matched clients had more positive GAF evaluations and more clinic visits than nonmatched clients. When adjusted for eight covariates, results showed ethnically matched clients continued to show higher levels of visitation. Analysis of separate diagnostic categories showed that ethnically matched mood-disorder clients had higher levels of visitation. Conversely, nonethnically matched anxiety …

Philosophy In The Wilderness, Jamie P. Ross

Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

An analysis of the team-taught course, Knowledge, Art & Power: The Social Construction of Knowledge. It critically analyzes and rejects both of the following claims: 1. Knowledge consists of eternal truths, 2. Knowledge is relativistic. In so doing, we focus on an understanding that knowledge serves selective interests; knowledge has a teleology (purpose)- i.e. power.

In this course we examine and analyze the relationships among and between knowledge, power and art. That means we must first understand what counts as knowledge. One way of understanding what counts as knowledge is to understand the way in which power is defined …

LSU Master's Theses

Teaching Practices Which Enhance Rhythm Development In Junior Primary Students : Case Studies In The South West Region Of Western Australia, Natalie Oddy

Theses : Honours

This thesis has arisen from a desire to enhance the benefits of musical development, in particular, rhythm, for children in junior primary classrooms. Music plays an important role in the overall development of the child as it ''aids a child's development in other areas such as overall academic achievement, ability to concentrate, creative and artistic expression, social skills and emotional stability" (Parkinson, 1989, p. 3). Therefore music education plays an important part in the academic curriculum. The researcher selected rhythm as the element of music to focus on as it is "the most basic element of music" (Latham and Sadie, …

Older Adults And Anxiety : The Role Of Natural Imagery In Anxiety Reduction, Catherine Griffiths

Theses : Honours

The present study aimed to examine whether visual contact with natural imagery would result in reduced levels of anxiety in older people, when compared with the effects of urban imagery. Thirty-three older adults between the ages of 61 and 91 participated in this study. Thirteen of the participants were male and 20 were female. In a partial replication and extension of the work of Ulrich et al. (1991), the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups - a nature video group. urban video group or control group.

An Investigation Of Tourist Involvement On International Tour Type Choices, Tsung-Chiung Wu

Visions in Leisure and Business

Involvement theory derived from social judgment theory has raised great research interests for leisure scholars since 1990s. The study issues for leisure involvement range from its conceptualization, measurement, antecedent and consequence factors, building causal relations, testing variations of leisure involvement among different recreation activities, and management and marketing applications. Although several inconclusive arguments exist, leisure involvement theory provides solid bases to explain leisure participation behavior, especially in the cases of participation patterns, message processing, and decision-making patterns.

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the appropriateness of applying involvement theory on international tour type choices. Ex post Facto …

The Need For Diversity In The Tourism And Hospitality Industry, Joel Frater

Visions in Leisure and Business

Examined at a macro level, there are several key factors that are likely to influence the tourism and hospitality industry. The first factor is the changing face of the American population. A second factor is the rate of growth of the tourism industry. A third, and very important factor is the extent to which the industry embraces diversity. There is a need for industries to reach out to a diverse group of customers and employees. The need for cross-cultural responsiveness and the adoption of training models is apparent. This paper examines population and travel industry data-trends as a corner stone …

The advent of neuroscience research has given educators new ways of examining conditions affecting school achievement. The list of these conditions is large. Communities seeking to improve schools need to examine biological factors which may impinge on school success.
