Training Needs Of School Counseling Site Supervisors In The Pacific Northwest: An Exploration Via The Construct Of Self-Efficacy, Lorraine Dekruyf Jan 2007

Training Needs Of School Counseling Site Supervisors In The Pacific Northwest: An Exploration Via The Construct Of Self-Efficacy, Lorraine Dekruyf

Faculty Publications - Graduate School of Counseling

School counseling site supervisors provide a critical contribution to the professional development of master’s program school counseling interns; however, their training needs remain unidentified in the literature. To that end, the purpose of this quantitative study was to explore the training needs of site supervisors of master’s program school counseling interns in the Pacific Northwest via the construct of self-efficacy. To initiate this exploration, the Site Supervisor Self-Efficacy Survey (S4) was developed. This 28 item web-based survey investigated respondents’ (N = 147) perceived self-efficacy in relation to supervision as well as hours of supervision training received. Results (82% return rate) …


Conditional Discrimination And Reversal In Amnesia Subsequent To Hypoxic Brain Injury Or Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Rupture, C. E. Myers, J. Deluca, Ramona O. Hopkins, M. A. Gluck Jan 2007

Conditional Discrimination And Reversal In Amnesia Subsequent To Hypoxic Brain Injury Or Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Rupture, C. E. Myers, J. Deluca, Ramona O. Hopkins, M. A. Gluck

Faculty Publications

Human anterograde amnesia can develop following bilateral damage to the hippocampus and medial temporal lobes, as in hypoxic brain injury, or following damage to the basal forebrain, as following anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm rupture. In both cases, the mnestic deficit may be similar when assessed by standard neuropsychological measures. However, animal and computational models suggest that there are qualitative differences in the pattern of impaired and spared memory abilities following damage to hippocampus versus basal forebrain. Here, we show such a dissociation in human amnesia using a single two-stage task, involving conditional discrimination and reversal. Consistent with a prior …


A Meta-Analysis Of Political Advertising, William L. Benoit, Glenn M. Leshner, Sumana Chattopadhyay Jan 2007

A Meta-Analysis Of Political Advertising, William L. Benoit, Glenn M. Leshner, Sumana Chattopadhyay

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

Political advertising is one of the dominant media for reaching voters. Previous metaanalyses (Allen & Burrell, 2002; Lau, Sigelman, Heldman, & Babbitt, 1999) found little or no net benefit to negative versus positive ads. However, this finding does not reveal whether ads have effects (both or neither could be persuasive). A meta-analysis revealed that political spots increased issue knowledge, influenced perceptions of the candidates’ character, altered attitudes, and affected candidate preference; influenced agenda-setting, and altered vote likelihood (turnout). One moderator variable was detected: The effect size for learning was larger for studies of students than non-students; however, the effect size …

A Survey Of Dating And Marriage At Byu, Bruce A. Chadwick, Mindy Judd, Richard J. Mcclendon, Lauren Smith, Brent L. Top

Faculty Publications

A 2001 study of 1,000 young women attending four-year colleges and universities across the United States conducted by Norval Glenn and Elizabeth Marquardt found that “dating” has all but disappeared from American college campuses. Only half of the women reported they had been asked on six or more dates during their entire college career. In fact, one-third of the women had two or fewer dates during the same four years. Instead of dating, college students now “hang out” in mixed groups in a variety of settings including apartments, dormitory rooms, student centers, pizza parlors, coffee shops, and bars. From these …


The Effects Of Immediate And Delayed Feedback On Secondary Distance Learners, Duane C. Lemley, Richard Sudweeks, Scott L. Howell, R. Dwight Laws, Octavia Sawyer Jan 2007

The Effects Of Immediate And Delayed Feedback On Secondary Distance Learners, Duane C. Lemley, Richard Sudweeks, Scott L. Howell, R. Dwight Laws, Octavia Sawyer

Faculty Publications

This study explores the effects of immediate and delayed feedback for 2 noncohort groups of high school students enrolled in distance learning courses at Brigham Young University. One group received immediate feedback while the second group received delayed feedback. Those students receiving immediate feedback performed significantly better on final exams, but those who received delayed feedback completed courses in significantly less time. The findings promise to inform best practices for providing feedback to secondary students in a distance learning setting and also give cause for further research.

Fear Of Failure, Experience, And Division As Predictors Of State Anxiety In Usfa Epee Fencers, Elizabeth Helen Athanas Jan 2007

Fear Of Failure, Experience, And Division As Predictors Of State Anxiety In Usfa Epee Fencers, Elizabeth Helen Athanas

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Research looks for the sources of state anxiety for individual athletes prior to competition, which can be debilitating (Gould, 1993; Gould, Horn & Spreeman, 1983). Non-elite athletes who are high trait anxious (possibly fear of failure) have higher state anxiety than elite athletes (Conroy, 2002; Gould, Horn & Spreeman, 1983). Fencers may be prone to elevated state anxiety. No research links these variables together in fencing. The purpose of the study is to examine fear of failure, experience, and division as predictors of state anxiety for epee fencers prior to competition. Epee fencers (N = 145) who competed in the …


The Evaluation Of Contextualization Of The Life Orientation Test - Revised To Enhance Predictive Validity In Sport, Samuel Joseph Whalen Jan 2007

The Evaluation Of Contextualization Of The Life Orientation Test - Revised To Enhance Predictive Validity In Sport, Samuel Joseph Whalen

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Over time and across various situations, optimistic individuals have mostly positive expectancies for future events. The Life Orientation Test - Revised (LOT-R) was designed to assess individuals global expectancies for the future as an indication of dispositional optimism; however, global assessment may include content irrelevance related to sport outcomes. The present study evaluated the inter-item preferred sport contextualization of the LOT-R to decrease attenuation and thus enhance predictive validity. College athletes (N = 423) completed an online version of a variety of questionnaires. With dispositional optimism controlled, regression analyses revealed sport optimism to explain additional variance in both general and …
