Many organizations implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs to promote a diverse workforce, reduce bias, and improve organizational culture to foster inclusivity and belonging. However, research shows that the mere presence of DEI programs does not necessarily lead to significant change (Kalev & Dobbin, 2016). Despite the increasing adoption of these programs, their effectiveness remains inconsistent. Moreover, recent trends have shown a backlash against DEI efforts, with over 80 anti-DEI bills introduced in the American legislative system (Lamparksi, 2024) and major companies like Ford Motor, Lowe’s, and Meta scaling back their DEI initiatives (Elias, 2023; Yildirim, 2024). These developments …

Performing On The Glass Stage: Examining Role Congruity's Effect On Firm Performance, Steven Vogel, Kristl Davison, Jessica Doll, Tiberiu Ungureanu

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Eagly and Karau’s (2002) Role Congruity Theory is one explanation for women’s lack of representation among the highest levels of industry leadership (Schaefer, 2023). It argues that people hold intrinsic associations between women and communality (e.g. Agreeableness) and men and agency (e.g. Ambition), and disassociation with the other. Likewise, it argues job roles carry trait associations (e.g. Leadership: agentic) and that when the traits assigned to the job and gender mismatch, the result is assumed unfitness. This is applied primarily to individual outcomes in internal decision-making processes (Berkery et al., 2013; Garcia-Retamero & Lopez-Zafra, 2006; Powell et al., 2002). The …

Job Crafting Across Ages: The Role Of Intergenerational Climate And Age-Inclusive Hr Practices, Kalvaince F. Die, Seth W. Jones, Courtney Baker Phd, Rushika De Bruin

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

As the workforce is currently comprised of five generations of workers across various life stages (SHRM, 2023) increased attention is needed from organizations to aid their employees throughout their lifespan (Hertel & Zacher, 2018). While HR practices directly related to age have been shown to successfully foster age-inclusive work environments (Fan et al., 2023), how these climates and age-inclusive HR practices impact the way different aged workers address their job tasks, and specifically engage in job crafting, has yet to be considered. Therefore, this study considers how age would impact job crafting behaviors, and this relationship would be moderated by …

Not Jumping On The Bandwagon: Older Workers' Perceptions Of Injustice In Ai In Selection Processes, Justin Ruiz, Courtney Baker Phd

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Technological advances are revolutionizing the world of work, and their integration into the workplace is on the rise. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a prime example, as 61% of organizations use it within their operations (Oswald & Khaleeli, 2020). However, this new integration into HR processes has led researchers to investigate how AI usage may be perceived by workers, especially when used it is used in the selection processes, and the role this may play in perceptions of procedural justice. Given that AI is often perceived as a “black box”, meaning that it is unclear how it is identifying patterns, this …

Ageism In Hiring: The Influence Of Implicit Cues On Perceptions Of Candidate Warmth, Competence, Suitability, And Trainability, Morgan A. Greene, Courtney L. Baker

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Hiring discrimination in the U.S. is an illegal practice for people who are 40 and older (Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 1967). Previous research has shown that not only is discrimination still prevalent (Harris, 2022; Abrams et al., 2016), but as much as 48% of people have experienced some type of ageism (Wilson et al., 2019). Furthermore, 90% of all discriminatory decisions are made before the hiring process even begins, typically during the resume screening process (Harris, 2022). Older age in applicants may signal to recruiters that the candidate has lower technology skills and trainability (VanBorm et al., 2021).The current …

Unlocking Employee Well-Being: The Mediating Effect Of Diversity Climate In An Inclusive Workplace, Ciara Covington, Shahnaz Aziz

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Diversity climate pertains to an employee’s perceptions of how well their organization demonstrates support and promotion to diverse employees (Leveson & Joiner, 2009; Tellur, 2023). The conceptualization of diversity climate is rooted in social identity theory (Stets & Burke, 2000) and organizational justice theory (Yean & Yusof, 2015). Social identity theory suggests that identification and membership within the organization impacts an employee’s perception of inclusivity (Mor Barak et al., 2022; Shore & Chung, 2021; Cole et al., 2016). Organizational justice theory highlights the influence of perceived fairness when organizations create and manage inclusive work policies (Griffith et al., 2005). There …

Investigating Job Attitudes Of Justice-Involved Individuals, Audrey Pennington, Sawyer Robinson

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

The US has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world resulting in one in three Americans having a criminal record (ACLU, 2017). Upon release from prison, securing employment is one of the most important factors to decrease recidivism (Berg & Huebner, 2011; Lundquist et al., 2018). Despite this, 75% of those who were incarcerated are unemployed a year after release. This is due, in part, to stigma and the wide use of background checks during the hiring process (ACLU, 2017). The research literature primarily focuses on effective ways to improve job-readiness for those who are incarcerated, barriers to …

Born To Die: Finding The Right To Healthcare In The History And Tradition Of The Bill Of Rights Amendments, Charles Pablico-Fernandez Nov 2024

Born To Die: Finding The Right To Healthcare In The History And Tradition Of The Bill Of Rights Amendments, Charles Pablico-Fernandez

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion protection in a single decision. This decision has resulted in inconsistent state action on abortion rights and has produced myriad unforeseen litigation throughout the country. Further, federal abortion protections are unlikely to be signed into law in the near future, leaving the future of abortion rights uncertain. Instead of proposing direct action designed to protect abortion rights, this Note proposes that the road to federal abortion protections first requires recognizing a constitutional right to healthcare. Specifically, this Note argues that a fundamental right to healthcare can be found by examining the history …


Rural-Urban Disparities And Trends In Cancer Screening: An Analysis Of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Data (2018-2022), Gabriel A. Benavidez, Ami E. Sedani, Tisha M. Felder Phd, Msw, Matthew Asare, Charles R. Rogers Nov 2024

Rural-Urban Disparities And Trends In Cancer Screening: An Analysis Of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Data (2018-2022), Gabriel A. Benavidez, Ami E. Sedani, Tisha M. Felder Phd, Msw, Matthew Asare, Charles R. Rogers

Publications

Background

Despite evidence of the benefit of routine cancer screenings, data show a concerning decline in cancer screening uptake for multiple cancers. This analysis aimed to examine rural-urban differences in recent trends for being up-to-date with screenings for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers.

Methods

We used 2018, 2020, and 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to assess up-to-date cancer screening status among eligible adults in the United States. We calculated weighted prevalence estimates overall and stratified by county-level rural-urban classification. We used survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression models to examine rural-urban disparities in cancer screening up-to-date status by year.

Boycotting Campaigns And Consumption Practices: Insights From Egypt In The Aftermath Of The 2023 Gaza War, Maha Ahmed Zaki Dajani, Israa Lewaa, Hadia Fakhreldin

Business Administration

This study investigates the impact of Egyptian boycott campaigns following the Gaza war in 2023 on consumption behavior. It uses the lens of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to examine how the intention to consume (or not to consume) originating from attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioural control leads to intentions that are reflected in different consumption behaviours. This study uses a mixed methodology, where it blends quantitative statistical analysis with indepth qualitative interviews. First, a pilot study is carried out to ensure the relevance of the survey questions. Then an online questionnaire posted on social media and sent …

Despite the initial hope inspired by the 2015 Paris Agreement, the world is now dangerously close to breaching its target of limiting global multiyear mean heating to 1·5°C. Annual mean surface temperature reached a record high of 1·45°C above the pre-industrial baseline in 2023, and new temperature highs were recorded throughout 2024. The resulting climatic extremes are increasingly claiming lives and livelihoods worldwide.


Speculum Feminarum: Feminine Representation And Identity In Fifteenth-Century France, Karli R. Snyder Nov 2024

Speculum Feminarum: Feminine Representation And Identity In Fifteenth-Century France, Karli R. Snyder

Art & Art History ETDs

Late medieval views of women in Western European culture, specifically in fifteenth-century France, were predicated on the ideologies of "other." According to normative sociocultural attitudes of this period, women were immoral, lascivious, and indulged in frivolity. Their culturally acceptable and, therefore, natural roles were delineated solely as that of wife and mother. Although the origin of these views is obscured by time, there are scores of textual and visual examples of this cultural labeling. This thesis focuses on how the ideologies of feminine sociocultural roles developed and matured during the late Middle Ages. By comparatively analyzing copies of the visual …


Future-Oriented Science Learning And Its Effects On Students’ Emotions, Futures Literacy And Agency In The Anthropocene, Jessica Chan, Sibel Erduran Nov 2024

Future-Oriented Science Learning And Its Effects On Students’ Emotions, Futures Literacy And Agency In The Anthropocene, Jessica Chan, Sibel Erduran

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

Science education bears the broader objective of nurturing students today to be scientifically-literate citizens of tomorrow who are able to foresee challenges, invent solutions and make responsible decisions for global issues. As a prelude to the new focus of agency in the Anthropocene, this paper presents an intervention on climate change with upper secondary students in a museum of natural history in England. Instructional strategies such as infusing scenarios and arts into scientific discussions were adopted to induce imagination, future-oriented thinking and emotional responses. Statistical results showed that the intervention significantly enhanced participants’ futures literacy, environmental agency and positive emotions. …

Race And American College Testing (Act) Scores In Illinois, Wendy Shaw, Bin Zhou Nov 2024

Race And American College Testing (Act) Scores In Illinois, Wendy Shaw, Bin Zhou

The Geographical Bulletin

This paper explores links between race and ethnicity, and performance on the American College Testing (ACT) within Illinois. This paper utilizes information about the performance of Illinois’ 85, 480 year 2000 graduating seniors who took the ACT assessment. The ACT scores reported by county are broken down into various racial and ethnic groupings, and a Geographic Information System was used to map and explore the spatial dimensions of the data. The results of the analysis indicate that performance on the ACT varies by the type of county involved, and is linked to family income rather than to race per se. …


Multimedia Technology In The School Geography Classroom: A Case Study, Daniel P. Donaldson Nov 2024

Multimedia Technology In The School Geography Classroom: A Case Study, Daniel P. Donaldson

The Geographical Bulletin

Today, educators are being called on to cultivate a more geographically literate body of students. Just as computer technologies have found use in nearly all aspects of North American society, they are now looked upon as a tool which will enhance students’ geography learning. Through the use of multimedia software packages, it has been suggested that students will gain a more intricate collection of spatial understandings. This work draws on results of direct intervention in two sixth-grade classrooms in Cleveland, Ohio. It compares two methods of teaching and learning geographic concepts: one employing the use of multimedia and the other …

When people think of educational games, they often just think of ones geared towards kids: these might include spelling and vocabulary games like Scribblenauts, creative games such as Minecraft, as well as historical games such as Carmen [Sandiego]’s Ancient Caper, but according to the Entertainment Software Association in 2019, 65% of adults play video games (almost half of which are female), the average gamer is 33 years old, and 63% of all gamers are playing with others at least one hour a week (“Essential Facts” 4, 5, 8). This means that the majority of …

Halfies, Half-Written Letters, And One-Eyed Gods: Connecting The Dots Of Communicative Cultures, Gregory Stephens

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

This essay distills the theory of communicative cultures as a tool for cultural analysis. Nadine Gordimer’s line about the difficulties of returning to “half-written letters” is used to frame anthropology’s critique of “bounded culture” or “container cultures,” predominat in Cultural Studies. Anthropologists Lila Abu-Lughod and Kirin Narayan have described “halfies” as in-between peoples who can help us understand fluid, processual cultures as normative. Building on this stance, and the work of rhetorical genre scholars, Stephens defines communicative cultures as “a set of shared commitments expressed through cultural means.” This approach to cultural analysis, in which literature is viewed as an …

Experimental Forms And Identity Politics In 21st Century American Poetry, Ronnie Stephens

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

“Experimental Forms and Identity Politics in 21st Century American Poetry” explores the function of form in American poetry and its proximity to whiteness. Through an analysis of experimental and nontraditional forms I argue that poets Fatimah Asghar, Jericho Brown, Franny Choi, Natalie Diaz, Ilya Kaminsky, and Danez Smith challenge traditional notions of what a poem is; these authors use graphics and co-opt familiar text objects to challenge larger assumptions about gender identity, ableism, and the immigrant experience. These experimental forms are grounded in a larger poetic tradition that alters traditional forms, such as the sonnet, to disrupt and further dialogue …

Conceptualizing Empathy And Prosocial Action: Teaching Film Within The Literature Classroom, Mayuri Deka

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

The experience of viewing a movie in the global era is multi-faceted. A viewer’s response to a cinematic experience as Carl Plantinga explains in Moving Viewers: American Film and the Spectator’s Experience is not only admiration for the aesthetics and techniques employed in the movie but also in the emotions aroused by the storyline. Audiences react to the story and characters presented with directed emotions by imagining either their mental lives and feelings or their situations. Empathy occurs within this framework of imagination where the audience engages with the story and character based on these directed emotions. The audience …
