The Role Of Spiritual/Religious Practices In Moderating Stress Among Staff In An Adolescent Residential Treatment Facility, Tara Rhiannon Sanderson

Doctor of Education (EdD)

Adolescent Residential Treatment Staff have a difficult job. Working with emotionally and behaviorally disturbed youth whose behavior precludes living with family members or in foster care requires intense amounts of empathy. Research indicates that the stress residential treatment staff feel is due to the many facets of their jobs including being counselors and subjected to vicarious traumatization, being supportive guides and enduring compassion fatigue, being parental figures and providing structure and support, etc. This stress can reduce the effectiveness of treatment that is provided to the adolescent residents in these facilities. Stress management and relief have been studied with various …

Does Carpooling To/From Work Reduce Stress?, Missy Peterson

Dissertations, Theses and Capstone Projects (Full IR Collection)

This purpose of this study is to investigate whether carpooling to/from work reduces stress levels in adults. Many people (including the investigator) have long commutes to/from work everyday. Long commutes are not only costly, but they are also very stressful. The reason for conducting this research study is to make adults aware that there are carpooling options available. Many adults may not realize the many benefits of carpooling to/from work. Decision makers at many organizations may also not encourage employees to carpool because they do not realize the benefits of carpooling. Decision makers may not realize that by having employees …

A Project To Foster Spiritual Formation In Online Classrooms, Robert Vaughan

Doctor of Ministry

Online programs are a growing phenomenon in adult education. Many Christian colleges and universities use this method to meet the educational needs of non-traditional students. A drawback of online education is the challenge to address the spiritual needs of students in a virtual environment. This project will propose an approach for fostering spiritual formation in asynchronous, adult online educational programs.

Section 2 will demonstrate the problem of fostering spiritual formation in online environments including the following issues: the demographics of the project, an organizational analysis of the project, and historical timelines of online adult education.

Section 3 will explore how …

Law Commissions And Access To Justice: What Justice Should We Be Talking About?, Patricia Hughes

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In addition to their explicit mandates, law reform commissions have a generic mandate to make recommendations that are designed to increase access to justice. Moreover, contemporary commissions ought to interpret the concept of access to justice broadly. Even though they undertake topics of 'lawyers' law,' or at times limit their focus to the narrower legal system, commissions should also consider how law can be employed to realize economic or social justice. In order to make pragmatic recommendations to increase access to justice, commissions must study the non-legal realm and incorporate into their work the insights of other disciplines and the …

Lessons In Access To Justice: Racialized Youths In Ontario's Safe Schools, Janet E. Mosher

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Access to justice is often equated with access to institutionalized dispute resolution processes, and the objective barriers that hinder such access-costs and delay most particularly-are commonly identified as the primary objects of reform efforts. In sharp contrast, when interviews and focus groups were conducted with racialized youths in Toronto regarding their experiences of access to justice in the context of school disciplinary matters, accounts of access to dispute resolution processes being impeded by costs and delay did not figure prominently. The interviews and focus groups revealed that many racialized youths scarcely ever considered accessing institutionalized dispute resolution processes largely because …

A Double Edged Sword: Understanding Vanity Across Cultures, Srinivas Durvasula, Steven Lysonski

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

Purpose – Based on their size, disposable income, and purchasing power, generation Y (Gen Y) consumers are viewed as the Holy Grail for marketers. Conversely, some of this group's behavior disturbs public policy officials, particularly when dealing with issues such as poor financial planning, bulimia and anorexia nervosa. The key question for both marketers and policy makers is what is the best way to understand the Gen Y segment? The vanity concept is used in this study as a way to understand the Gen Y consumer segment. The purpose of this paper is to examine vanity perceptions (cross-nationally and by …
