A Study Of The Role Of Gender In The Classroom, Ryan Ann Malloy

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to examine the role gender plays in the classroom, through considering both teacher and student perceptions of gender and how those perceptions impact student learning and socialization. Conducting my early research it became evident that the three underlying forces that allow gender to impact the classroom environment are socialization, individual perceptions, and instructional practices. In order to understand the true influence of gender in the classroom I incorporated a qualitative study on these three interrelated pieces to see how they came to life in an actual kindergarten classroom. Students took part in face-to-face interviews, …

Beyond The Patient: Nursing Presence With Families During The Perioperative Period, Joyce P. Miller

Theses and Graduate Projects

Nurses have used the intervention of caring for many years, but little attention has been given to describing the phenomenon of nursing presence in the perioperative setting. The purpose of this research was to learn more about the experience of the connection of the family to the nurse who kept them informed during the perioperative period. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was utilized to identify patterns of caring, connecting, and transpersonal nursing presence described by the family of surgical patients. Five women were interviewed for this study. Transcribed interviews became the phenomenological texts for my hermeneutic analysis. Essential themes were uncovered …

Whole-Body Vibration And Its Effects On Electromechanical Delay And Vertical Jump Performance, Deja Lee Stevenson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of whole-body vibration on electromechanical delay and vertical jump performance. Twenty college aged subjects participated in 10 intervals of whole-body vibration (WBV) at a frequency of 26 Hz and amplitude of 5 mm. Each interval consisted of 60 s of WBV in a half-squat followed by 60 s of rest. After 5 intervals, subjects had 6 min of rest before the final 5 intervals. Each subject also participated in the control which included the same 10 intervals in a half-squat without the WBV. Tests were conducted to assess electromechanical delay …

Hong Kong Happiness Index 2005 : A Happiness Index And Determinants Of Happiness Study, Lok Sang Ho

Hong Kong Happiness Index 香港快樂指數調查

嶺南大學（嶺大）人文及社會科學研究所於2 0 0 5 年6 月2 4 日（星期五） 至2 5 日（星期六） 一連兩日假嶺南大學舉辦一個跨學科國際會議。在今天的會議上， 嶺大人文及社會科學研究所所長及公共政策研究中心主任何濼生教授公佈了一項最新的「香港人快樂指數」調查報告。

該調查報告成功以隨機抽樣電話調查方式， 訪問了71 7 位香港居民。以 0-100 分作指標， 獲取 50 分以上者屬於「快樂」組別， 50 分以下屬於「不快樂」組別，愈接近 100 分， 其快樂指數愈高。研究結果顯示， 香港人的「快樂指數」平均為 71.4； 另外， 香港人自覺比 10 年前變得更快樂， 平均分數則為 61.3。

報告顯示，香港女性的快樂指數比男性為高，女性的平均快樂指數為 72.62 分， 而男性只有 69.58， 與外國同類型研究結果相近。

以年齡組別區分，報告顯示50 歲或以上的人士，其快樂指數為 75.38 分， 30-49 歲組別人士為 71.08 分， 而 21-29 歲人士則為 67.39 分。若按教育程度及年齡組別，年長一輩而又擁有較高教育水平者，其快樂指數會較高，有 85 分，但較高教育水平的因素却未有令 21-29 歲組別人士變得快樂，何濼生教授相信這和高等教育在香港已普及有關，相比上一代， 大學生在社會上不再具有特別優勢。報告還顯示“ 現代社會自由” (civic liberties) 如新聞、出版及言論等對快樂的重要性比“ 能夠普選行政長官” 為高。另外， 報告亦指出了如愈重視“ 婚姻、生兒育女、朋友、家庭和諧” 等價值觀，對「快樂指數」， 有正面影响， 相反， “ 重視金錢的價值觀”並非顯著因素。

是次調查報告只完成第一階段。報告旨在讓社會了解在目前香港的經濟、政治、社會及文化氣候下的香港人的快樂感受， 並提供一個量化的指數； 同時也希望透過這個調查來探究何種因素是決定「快樂」程度的關鍵， 從而為設計公共政策提供基礎。
