A Numeric Approach To Analyzing The Properties Of Solution Changes In A Multi-Objective School Bus Routing Problem, Roberto Kao

Theses & ETDs

Given a collection of bus stops, each occupied by a number of students, and a fleet of school buses subject to operational constraints, the School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP) asks for the routing of buses which minimize a given objective function. It is considered to be np-hard and is a problem of enormous importance in the field of combinatorial optimization and has numerous applications in trans- portation logistics. We survey the literature relative to the SBRP and develop the machinery of linear programming in order to assess the validity of the algorithms used to solve our SBRP model. We introduce …

Don’T Tell Me What To Do With My Life: How Parental Influence On Career Choice And Autonomy Support Relate To Student Well-Being, Delaney Verger

Theses & ETDs

College student’s well-being was predicted to be related to their perceptions of autonomy support from their parents, as well as their perceptions of who selected their career path (themselves versus their parents). Seventy-six college students completed questionnaires assessing their level of parental autonomy support, whether they perceived that they had chosen their own career path or that their parents had chosen their career path, their self-esteem, self-worth, and their subjective well-being. Mother autonomy support was positively correlated with self-esteem and self-worth, whereas father autonomy support was positively correlated with self-esteem and subjective well-being. Perception of a self-chosen career was positively …

Is Who You Want To Be Who You Should Be? A Look At Selfdiscrepancies At The Beginning And End Of College, S. Louise Askew

Theses & ETDs

This research was designed to test the hypothesis that college students would align their ought-self (how they think society wants them to be) with their parent/guardians ideal-self (how they think their parent/guardian wants them to be) for the student more when they arrive at college, and less as their college career continued. Sixty-five participants from New College of Florida filled out two surveys to determine their self-discrepancies and quality of the relationship they had with a parent/guardian. Self-discrepancies were introduced as a psychological concept by E. Tory Higgins in 1987. These discrepancies are between how a person wants to be, …

Silence Improves Anxiety Levels And Test Scores Among Children With Disabilities, Hanna Matatyaho

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Students with disabilities may experience more anxiety when taking a test than do students without a disability. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a technique called 1-minute of silence reduces anxiety and improves test scores among students with disabilities. The theoretical framework for this study was the theory of planned behavior/reasoned action and the health belief model. Two research questions were used, one to determine the difference in anxiety levels in students with special needs and the other to determine the difference in New York State (NYS) Math posttest scores in children with special needs (no silence, …

Personality, Coping, And Burnout In Online Doctoral Psychology Students, Michelle Linn Grigsby

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Completion times for doctoral psychology students are twice as long as those of other disciplines, and the attrition rate is over half of the matriculated students. Research indicates that (a) burnout plays an integral part in delayed completion and attrition for doctoral students and (b) personality and coping influence the development of burnout. In an effort to support prevention and intervention strategies, this study explored the gap in research regarding moderating effects of coping styles on the relationship between personality traits and burnout levels in online doctoral psychology students, as this population is growing at a significant rate and possesses …

Ratings Fetishism, Leslie Yalof Garfield

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The obsession with increasing the reputational rankings of American colleges and universities more detrimentally impacts race-based admissions policies than does Supreme Court doctrine. It is no secret that many schools inflate, misleadingly report, or falsify records in order to pander to rankings systems like U.S. News and World Report (“U.S. News”). These systems weigh a school’s mean standardized test scores (SAT and/or ACT) heavily as one of the factors for assigning a rank. Thus, the incentive among schools playing the ratings game is to admit students with the highest SAT scores. But, if one agrees with the data that underrepresented …

The Relation Between Aggressive Behavior And Engagement In Violence, Andrea Carolina Aya Mercado

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

Exposure to community violence is positively correlated with aggression towards other people (Allwood & Bell, 2008). Researchers in this area have classified aggression into two broad categories, proactive and reactive aggression. Proactive aggression refers to aggression that is used as an instrument to achieve a goal, whereas reactive aggression refers to aggression that is used as a response to a real or perceived treat (Chaux, Arboleda, & Rincon, 2012). Exposure to community violence impacts both reactive and proactive aggression, but mechanisms explaining this relationship are still unclear. One potential mediator of this relationship is religiosity. Previous research suggests that individuals …

Managing Conflict By School Leadership : A Case Study Of A School From Gilgit-Biltistan, Darvesh Karim

Professional Development Centre, Gilgit

Managing conflict at school has been an age-old challenge for educators. Conflicts are a natural part of life and therefore a natural part of school life. Learning to deal constructively with conflict is a life-skill need for educational leaders. This paper reports a case study of a private English medium school of Gilgit-Baltistan about exploration of the conflict management which advocates two approaches to manage conflicts at school level i.e. to follow strict rules and regulations and penalizing on violation and secondly, empowering the stakeholders to resolve their own problems by their-selves.These approaches have proved that competence in conflict resolution …
