The (Dis)Obedience Politics Of Victorian Literature, Audrey Peterson-Mccann
The (Dis)Obedience Politics Of Victorian Literature, Audrey Peterson-Mccann
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The (Dis)Obedience Politics of Victorian Literature argues that Victorian children learned thesocial valuation of themselves and others through the figure of the animal, and while this learning was often hegemonic, some Victorian authors subverted this form of didacticism, creating alternative pedagogies that extended subjecthood to those who were often excluded. While it is well-known that animals have historically been enlisted as teaching symbols, I contend that literary animals in Victorian fiction were used to critique, expose, and otherwise provide commentary and context for the potentially widespread disciplinary practice of childrearing as these practices defined and qualified subjectivity and objectivity. To …
Coping With Stress In Caregiving Among Korean Immigrant Parents Of A Child With Adhd, Jinhee Koo
Coping With Stress In Caregiving Among Korean Immigrant Parents Of A Child With Adhd, Jinhee Koo
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Parents of children with ADHD were found to struggle with additional demands in caregiving. Immigrant populations reported acculturative stress as they encountered immigration stressors, including language barriers, cultural differences, lack of social support, discrimination, and so forth. Belonging to both social groups, Korean immigrant parents of children with ADHD are likely to face numerous stressors and undergo a great deal of stress. Nevertheless, little has been known about how they experience stress and coping. It is important to identify their experiences because the knowledge can be used to support their well-being and quality of life. To fill this gap, this …
Clarifying The Relationship Between Weight Suppression And Eating Psychopathology: The Role Of Fear Of Weight Gain And Intolerance Of Uncertainty, Danielle Elizabeth Peters
Clarifying The Relationship Between Weight Suppression And Eating Psychopathology: The Role Of Fear Of Weight Gain And Intolerance Of Uncertainty, Danielle Elizabeth Peters
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Objective: Weight suppression (WS), the discrepancy between a person’s highest and current body weight, is largely associated with eating pathology in clinical and non-clinical samples. WS may put individuals in a biobehavioral bind: biological factors may drive the body toward weight regain, which in turn drives eating disorder (ED) behaviors in an attempt to prevent weight regain. However, few studies have examined psychological factors that may play a role in the biobehavioral bind of WS. As such, the present study aimed to (1) whether WS was associated with fear of weight gain (FOWG) and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and (2) …
The Role Of Self-Determination Theory In Explaining The Relationship Of Challenge Demands With Engagement And Burnout, Andrew Decesare
The Role Of Self-Determination Theory In Explaining The Relationship Of Challenge Demands With Engagement And Burnout, Andrew Decesare
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation sought to provide a more cohesive theoretical basis for the appraisal of challenge demands and demonstrate that engagement manifests through authentic self-expression in addition to the employment of personal energetic resources. Research has substantiated that employees can appraise the same job demands differently. However, the factors influencing the appraisal process has garnered limited focus to this point. Using self-determination theory as a basis, it was hypothesized that employees’ perceptions of challenge demands would be based on the aspirations (i.e., life goals) they valued and the level of autonomy they were afforded in their job. Employees who made greater …
Deskilling Or Reskilling: The Impact Of Increased Digital Technology Use On Teaching As A Craft, Zachary J. Snyder
Deskilling Or Reskilling: The Impact Of Increased Digital Technology Use On Teaching As A Craft, Zachary J. Snyder
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This study focuses on teachers and the impact technology has on their instruction, with a focus on how technology affects their craft. Technology moved into classrooms over several decades, but was boosted significantly by the need to migrate to online instruction by the recent COVID19 pandemic. This migration required teachers to adapt methodologies to offer instruction. This study exposes what teachers articulate about their skills. Their experiences with immersion into digital platforms provide rich commentary on the purpose, progress, and pitfalls of online teaching for them and their students. For this qualitative study, a sample of 16 teachers from urban …

Feasibility And Acceptability Of A Self-Paced, Online Workshop Targeting Self-Compassion Skills For Emerging Adults With Disordered Eating, Arielle Wolinsky
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The present paper includes two studies that explored the relevancy of self-compassion to emerging adults, expectancies of having a self-compassion mindset on disordered eating, and the prospective and concurrent acceptability and feasibility of a self-paced, online workshop targeting self-compassion skills for emerging adults with disordered eating. Study 1 was a cross- sectional study examining emerging adults’ understanding of self-compassion, expectancies of having a self-compassion mindset on disordered eating, and the feasibility and prospective acceptability of a proposed self-paced, online workshop targeting self-compassion skills for emerging adults with disordered eating. Study 1’s findings were incorporated into the design and implementation of …
“I Felt From That Place”: A Qualitative Case Study Of Emerging Practices To Build Youth Peer Supports In Residential Care, Catherine S. Kramer
“I Felt From That Place”: A Qualitative Case Study Of Emerging Practices To Build Youth Peer Supports In Residential Care, Catherine S. Kramer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Background and Purpose: Effectively responding to children and youth who experienced trauma and enter the foster care system is an ongoing challenge in child welfare. In response to the poor outcomes for children and youth in foster care, and the growing understanding of the effects of complex trauma, the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) was enacted in 2018 by Congress to overhaul the child welfare system. Among many required changes, states were required to establish guidance and processes for residential agencies to become qualified residential treatment programs (QRTPs) consistent with federal guidelines, which prioritized becoming trauma informed.
Advancing Equity: An Examination Of Education Policy Impacts On Students With Disabilities, Arzana Myderrizi
Advancing Equity: An Examination Of Education Policy Impacts On Students With Disabilities, Arzana Myderrizi
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Students with disabilities (SWDs) in U.S. public schools face unique challenges that profoundly shape their educational experiences and transition into adulthood, such as lower academic achievement and higher rates of exclusionary discipline and juvenile justice involvement. These disparities have far-reaching implications, impacting high school graduation rates, college enrollment, and future employment prospects, thus perpetuating broader social and economic inequalities. Understanding what aspects of special education are conducive to learning and development for SWDs is important for identifying evidence-based strategies that can help improve educational experiences and outcomes for SWDs. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of effective educational practices for …
Regulation Of Information Privacy: A Process Tracing Case Study Of Online Behavioral Advertising In The Eea, Thora Knight
Regulation Of Information Privacy: A Process Tracing Case Study Of Online Behavioral Advertising In The Eea, Thora Knight
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Legislators worldwide are enacting or proposing privacy legislation to address online privacy concerns, with the most consequential global law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), taking effect as recently as 2018. Scholars have long argued for or against various regulatory strategies (legal, self-regulation, and privacy self-management) as appropriate policy interventions, often through an economic lens. At the same time, research in the Information Systems (IS) domain contributed significantly towards understanding and explaining privacy-related issues in information and communication technologies, with privacy concerns emerging as a vital construct. Drawing on these theoretical foundations and the emerging online behavioral advertising (OBA) research, …
Relating Perception And Memory For A Novel Set Of Reconfigurable Auditory Stimuli, Nathan Francis Gillespie
Relating Perception And Memory For A Novel Set Of Reconfigurable Auditory Stimuli, Nathan Francis Gillespie
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Although real-life events are complex and temporally extended, most memory research employs discrete, static stimuli presented in the visual modality. We begin to bridge this gap using a novel set of auditory stimuli constructed by adjusting the distribution of power across upper frequency bands. Across three experiments, participants rated similarity between pairs of sounds and engaged in a recognition memory task. We applied non-metric multidimensional scaling to similarity ratings to obtain a three-dimensional psychological representation of the stimuli. The representation inferred from the similarity ratings predicted recognition memory performance for single probe sounds following sequential presentation of two sounds. Recognition …
Understanding Engineering Students’ Ethical Decisions: Machiavellianism, Ultimatum Bargaining Choices, Student Experience, And Implications For Engineering Education, Susan Henry
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) which accredits higher education programs globally, has placed the ability for students to recognize professional and ethical responsibilities among their seven stated student outcomes that undergraduate engineering programs must ensure their students achieve to maintain their accreditation. This is to ensure that these students are appropriately prepared to enter professional practice (ABET, 2021). Because of this, along with the importance of engineers understanding their obligations to act ethically in ensuring public safety and professional integrity, there is a need to better understand the ethical decision-making of undergraduate engineering students. Knowing what factors …
Indecent Exposure And The Court As Custos Morum, Bruce Davis
Indecent Exposure And The Court As Custos Morum, Bruce Davis
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Indecent exposure has been a crime in America since colonial times. Laws governing this crime are a cornerstone of government regulation of morals in America, sharing a common history with the jurisprudence of religion, obscenity, marriage, and sexual relations. The first reported case of indecent exposure in English common law is a widely acknowledged source of American moral jurisprudence that justifies the courts’ role as custos morum, or custodian of the morals.
Maternal Experience-Driven Changes In Oxytocin Neuron Co-Localization With Crf Receptors In The Hypothalamus Of Mice, Katherine Parra
Maternal Experience-Driven Changes In Oxytocin Neuron Co-Localization With Crf Receptors In The Hypothalamus Of Mice, Katherine Parra
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The postpartum period is a time of adaptiveness for new mothers who have to not only maintain their own health and well-being, but also that of a brand-new life. In both humans and across various common laboratory species like rats, mice, and non-human primates, priorities must shift greatly for a new mother to now include initiation and maintenance of offspring-focused behaviors regardless of her circumstances.The neurobiology of this adaptivity includes a complex sequence of changes that amount to suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 (CRFR1) is a receptor involved with initiating the physiological stress response and …
Voices Of The Holistically Educated: Impacts And Outcomes Beyond Academics, Autumnjoy Felicidade Florencio-Wain
Voices Of The Holistically Educated: Impacts And Outcomes Beyond Academics, Autumnjoy Felicidade Florencio-Wain
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation engages a multi-step process to identify and articulate the internally defined goals of prominent holistic pedagogies including Montessori, Waldorf, Democratic Free Schooling, homeschooling, and radical/progressive education. It gives voice to adult former students who speak to, and illustrate, the ways in which they were impacted by their holistic educational settings on each of six identified areas of intended holistic development: physical, creative engagement, intrapersonal, interpersonal, cognitive, and transpersonal. Eighteen participants, ages 19 to 71, from various holistic backgrounds in North America, participated in focus group meetings and interviews. They reflected on their current sense of self on each …
Survival Of The Optimist: How Emotion Words Are Processed Within The Survival Paradigm, Dailyn Quinn Clark
Survival Of The Optimist: How Emotion Words Are Processed Within The Survival Paradigm, Dailyn Quinn Clark
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Memory for words encoded for their fitness relevance is enhanced compared to memory for words encoded based on relevance to other scenarios (Nairne et al., 2007). Much of the work examining emotion within the survival paradigm has focused on the presented scenarios (Bell et al., 2013; Kazanas & Altarriba, 2017, 2018; Kroneisen et al., 2022). However, no work has yet to focus on the emotionality of the information that is being encoded. A possible contributor to the advantage may be the emotional valence of the encoded items, as emotion has been known to have effects on memory (Dev et al., …
The Complexities Of Adverse Childhood Experiences: A Study Of Health, Behavioral Health, And Quality Of Life Among Women With And Without Disabilities, Anne-Marie Gomes
The Complexities Of Adverse Childhood Experiences: A Study Of Health, Behavioral Health, And Quality Of Life Among Women With And Without Disabilities, Anne-Marie Gomes
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Background and Purpose: The negative effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on behavioral and physical health and well-being long after exposure are a global and national concern. For over two decades, ACEs have been associated with numerous medical conditions, health risk behaviors, and poor mental and physical health outcomes. However, few studies have examined the effects of ACEs on the health outcomes of persons with disabilities (PWDs). The main objective of this study was to examine the impact of ACEs on women with and without disabilities, their health and well-being.
Investigating U.S. Entrepreneurship Instructors' Critical Pedagogy And Innovative Teaching Practice: A Mixed Method Approach, Yanghyun Kim
Investigating U.S. Entrepreneurship Instructors' Critical Pedagogy And Innovative Teaching Practice: A Mixed Method Approach, Yanghyun Kim
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Inclusive and effective entrepreneurship education (EE) can significantly contribute to empowering underserved communities. However, EE scholars have highlighted pedagogical concerns including a lack of critical perspectives, the prevalence of lecture-centered teaching, and resistance to technology integration, raising questions about the inclusiveness and effectiveness of EE. Nevertheless, there were few studies comprehensively examining how entrepreneurship instructors employed teaching practices. Thus, this study aimed to: 1) investigate the status of U.S. entrepreneurship instructors’ teaching practices regarding critical pedagogy and innovative teaching (teaching practices endorsed by EE scholars), 2) examine factors influencing their teaching practices, and 3) explore how they have developed these …
Developing Historical Empathy For Enslaved African Americans: Teaching And Learning Difficult History During A Field Trip To A Historic Site, Frances Tria
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This case study examined how we ask students to engage in learning the difficult history of slavery by experiencing a field trip to a historic site where that history occurred, how that experience informs student development of historical empathy for the enslaved people who lived and labored there, the role it may play in supporting a more complex understanding of African American history, and how students engage civically upon that knowledge. This study found that place-based education to a site of difficult history immerses students in site-specific visual, textual, narrative, and physical resources that provide a frame to contextualize and …
Is The Language Surrounding Current Punk Culture Signaling A Watering Down Of Dissent? Culture Mapping The Signifying Language Of Present-Day Punk Against Original Punk To See If It Is Still Addressing Societal Issues And Challenging The Status Quo., Marie Lena Tupot
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Punk, originating from the economic turmoil of 1970s Britain, has transitioned into the digital realm, shedding its traditional symbols of rebellion while posing questions about contemporary dissent, such as: Are Punk ideals still addressing societal issues and challenging the status quo, or are they becoming more superficial or commercialized? Or are expressions of dissent genuine and rooted in lived experiences, or are they being appropriated for commercial gain? This study delves into the language of the shifting subcultures of Punk, silently thriving online through Cyberpunks, Cypherpunks, Anarchists, Anarcho-capitalists, and Cryptopunks. Each subgroup expresses rebellion uniquely: Cyberpunks through hacking, Cypherpunks through …

The current study is a systematic literature review of the impact of online learning modalities on academic achievement in mathematics among K-12 students with disabilities, English language learners, and students from impoverished backgrounds. Retrieving research from two databases utilizing the …
Positive Behavior Interventions And Supports: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Academic Outcomes, Erin J. Brewer
Positive Behavior Interventions And Supports: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Academic Outcomes, Erin J. Brewer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Districts and schools are under pressure to increase student academic outcomes while meeting their various social-behavioral needs. This pressure is compounded by the responsibility of creating climates that are safe and equitable for all students where teachers can teach, and all students can learn. However, far too often, negative, and disruptive school climates are counteracting efforts being made by teachers to increase academic outcomes (Warren et al., 2006). Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) offers a proactive approach to promote positive school climate while reducing punitive and reactionary discipline procedures. However, the relationship between PBIS implementation fidelity and academic achievement …
Uncertainty As An Opportunity For Capitalist Market —Assisted Reproductive Technology As An Infertility Care Service In Taiwan, Wen-Ling Kung
Uncertainty As An Opportunity For Capitalist Market —Assisted Reproductive Technology As An Infertility Care Service In Taiwan, Wen-Ling Kung
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation studies the utilization of assisted reproductive technology (ART) as an infertility care service in Taiwan. Predominantly grounded in interviews with clinical experts from fertility institutes, including fertility physicians, embryologists, and consultants during 2017 and 2019, along with observation and primary/secondary data analysis, the research demonstrates how uncertainty can be transformed into an “opportunity” for the contemporary capitalist market. The transformation of “reproductive uncertainty” into an opportunity for the burgeoning biomedical market drives the ongoing expansion of infertility care services based on in vitro fertilization (IVF), technoscientific developments in reproductive medicine, and the further biomedicalization of human reproduction.

Officeguard: The Anti-Phishing Training Game, Olivia Benaoumeur
Officeguard: The Anti-Phishing Training Game, Olivia Benaoumeur
ALL - Honors Theses
Anti-phishing training is crucial for the business world. Therefore, much of the existing training is focused on employees. Education in the form of training tools and simulators helps increase the retention of information for these employees (Jampen et al., 2020). However, this education may be coming too late. Educating high school and college students on email etiquette and training during their formative years is essential to help protect students and their future employers. The gamification of training tools has the potential to “enrich the educational process and improve learning outcomes” (Lampropoulos & Sidiropoulos, 2024). The term ‘serious game’ describes a …
A Review Of Maslow’S Hierarchy Of Needs In Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Hunter Gardner
A Review Of Maslow’S Hierarchy Of Needs In Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Hunter Gardner
ALL - Honors Theses
The COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly struck the world in 2020 and had long-lasting effects. Many people had lost their jobs, the economy faltered, and people were stuck at home with no way of seeing friends or non-immediate family. The pandemic also had a profound impact on students. Schools were forced to transition into online learning, which was something that many school districts and universities were not prepared for (Russell, Head, Wolfe-Enslow, Holland, & Zimmerman, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic also had an impact on people's needs. According to Abraham Maslow (1943), people’s needs are arranged into a hierarchy where basic level needs …

Exploring The “Risky-Business” Of Employee Informal Field-Based Learning: Implications For Employee Engagement In Informal Workplace Learning Behaviors, Ricardo R. Brooks
Exploring The “Risky-Business” Of Employee Informal Field-Based Learning: Implications For Employee Engagement In Informal Workplace Learning Behaviors, Ricardo R. Brooks
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Employee learning and development are critical to organizational success, particularly for jobs with highly dynamic and demanding work environments that require adaptability and skill. The literature suggests that most employee learning and development occurs through informal means (Tannenbaum & Wolfson., 2022). However, there may be some interpersonal risk associated with engaging in informal learning behaviors such as being viewed as incompetent or lacking in expertise, resulting in fewer opportunities for development and promotion. The objective of this research was to expand the nomological net of antecedents and organizationally valued outcomes associated with informal learning behaviors and to understand how the …
