Motivation Orientation And School Readiness In Children Served By Head Start, Andres S. Bustamante Apr 2014

Motivation Orientation And School Readiness In Children Served By Head Start, Andres S. Bustamante

Open Access Theses

Embracing challenges and coping with setbacks broadly characterize a set of skills known as motivation orientation. Smiley and Dweck (1994) define two types of motivational orientations (MO): mastery motivated orientation (MMO) and performance motivated orientation (PMO). The former is characterized by viewing failure as an opportunity for growth while the latter views failure as a confirmation of negative self-attributions. How and when these MO’s develop and can be fostered as well as how they operate in preschool and low-income contexts, however, remains unknown. This project extends the literature by examining the relationships between MO and school readiness outcomes in preschoolers …

Location, Location, Location, The Impact Of Registered Sex Offenders On Home Sale Prices: A Case Study Of Mclean County, Illinois, John C. Navarro

Theses and Dissertations

Borrowing from broken windows theory, this paper addresses the impact of sex offenders' residences on neighborhood's property values in McLean County, Illinois. Three data sets were combined to explore the relationship: the addresses of registered sex offenders (RSOs) in McLean County, Illinois, the location and property characteristics of homes sold in McLean County between December 2012 to December 2013, and variables from the 2010 U.S. Census. ArcGIS was utilized to create buffers up to 0.2 of a mile around a sold home to measure the concentration of RSOs and sexual predators (SPs) and to calculate the distance from the nearest …

Linking Interactional Justice To Work-To-Family Conflict: The Mediating Role Of Emotional Exhaustion, Ivy A. Kyei-Poku Apr 2014

Linking Interactional Justice To Work-To-Family Conflict: The Mediating Role Of Emotional Exhaustion, Ivy A. Kyei-Poku

Organization Management Journal

This study examined the effect of interactional justice on work– to-family conflict and whether emotional exhaustion was a mediator of this relationship. Field survey data were obtained from 141 employees from various organizations and occupations. The findings suggest that perceptions of interactional justice are related to work-to-family conflict and, as predicted, emotional exhaustion mediated the relationship between interactional justice and work-to-family conflict. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Sometimes We Need To Press 'Reset' Button And Return To Basics, Erin O'Flaherty Apr 2014

Sometimes We Need To Press 'Reset' Button And Return To Basics, Erin O'Flaherty

UCF Forum

I’m not a germaphobe by any means, but I love cleanliness. When I clean, I really clean, and I usually won’t stop until the mixed smells of my various cleaning products permeate my house.
