Personality Variables Mediating Change In Concern Toward Environmental Issues, John Mark Davis
Personality Variables Mediating Change In Concern Toward Environmental Issues, John Mark Davis
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Researchers have for several decades examined the relationships between personality and demographic variables, pro-environmental behaviors, and level of concern toward environmental problems. In this study, personality and selected demographic variables contributing to an increase in concern toward environmental issues were examined. Subjects included 79 females and 46 males with a mean age of 22.5 years who were enrolled in undergraduate courses at the University of Central Florida. During the first session, information concerning personality and demographic variables was obtained and subjects completed Weigel and Weigel's (1978) Ecological Concern Scale (ECS). During the second session, experimental group subjects viewed a video …
The Effect Of A Pet's Presence Upon Anxiety During A Simulated Clinical Interview, Kenneth G. Weigand
The Effect Of A Pet's Presence Upon Anxiety During A Simulated Clinical Interview, Kenneth G. Weigand
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Recognizing the importance of evolutionary parallels between humans and other animals, researchers make use of animals to better the understanding of people in various fields of study, such as history, ecology, medicine, psychology, and sociology (Levinson, 1978). Boris Levinson (1962) was an early advocate for the inclusion of pets in psychotherapeutic intervention. His theories have been frequently cited in research that has attempted to define the possible benefits associated with utilizing pets as an adjunct in the treatment of disturbed populations. The results of studies with varied populations indicate that a pet's presences can lower a person's anxiety level, positively …
Media And Ideology, Neil Postman
Media And Ideology, Neil Postman
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article conceptualizes media ecology as an analytical lens for understanding how successive communication technologies generate ideology, shaping language, cognition, and social organization. Integrating systems thought, Marxist materialism, and time space analysis, it traces transformations from the typographic revolution to contemporary television and computer environments. Case illustrations ranging from monastic clocks and the printing press to satellite linked financial markets reveal that each medium reconfigures cultural values such as individuality, privacy, rational discourse, and civic participation. The discussion underscores the responsibility of communication administrators to anticipate technological biases, cultivate critical literacy, and adapt curricula amid accelerating digital change. Concluding with …

A Response To The Roper Report On Electronic Career Preparation, David E. Tucker
A Response To The Roper Report On Electronic Career Preparation, David E. Tucker
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article evaluates an influential survey of broadcast executives that judged college preparation for electronic media careers. Through content analysis of the report’s findings, this article identifies conceptual ambiguity surrounding entry level positions, limited response detail, and reliance on broad generalizations. It highlights how undefined variables, including market size and curricular diversity, weaken claims that graduates lack real world skills, writing competence, and technology experience. The critique questions recommendations advocating industry instructors, faculty externships, and expanded internship programs, noting structural constraints in liberal arts curricula and institutional finance. By situating methodological flaws within media studies and higher education literature, this …
The Influence Of Structure On The Function Of An Administrative Unit: Single Focus Academic Structure Or Multiple Focus Academic Structure Raising -- Some Of The Issues, Robert F. Ross, Philip Emmert
The Influence Of Structure On The Function Of An Administrative Unit: Single Focus Academic Structure Or Multiple Focus Academic Structure Raising -- Some Of The Issues, Robert F. Ross, Philip Emmert
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article applies systems theory to examine how academic structure influences departmental functions within small universities, it contrasts single focus academic departments and multiple focus academic departments, assessing their effects on instruction, research, service, enrollment stability, credit hour production, faculty workload, budget flexibility, and administrative power. Through conceptual analysis and illustrative cases, this article argues that multiple focus configurations foster interdisciplinary curriculum, broaden student recruitment, and enable efficient resource allocation, while single focus units face constrained scheduling, program vulnerability, and duplicated governance tasks. It details how structure shapes faculty roles, advising practices, laboratory sharing, graduate program coordination, and external relations, …
The Relationship Of Structure To Function At The Community College Level: Saddleback College As Model, Lvnn K. Wells
The Relationship Of Structure To Function At The Community College Level: Saddleback College As Model, Lvnn K. Wells
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article analyzes how evolving governance arrangements in California public higher education shape operational decisions within a suburban community college speech communication department. Drawing on organizational analysis, it traces the effects of state reform legislation AB 1725, district campus hierarchies, and divisional affiliations on funding streams, credit hour generation, staffing ratios, course scheduling, and general education curriculum. The discussion shows that dependence on statewide full time equivalent student formulas and divisional budget priorities constrains capital purchases, promotes high enrollment basic courses, and limits elective offerings. Curriculum mandates requiring oral communication, writing, and critical thinking further complicate program design, while board …
The Value Of Fuzzy Lines, Stephen W. King
The Value Of Fuzzy Lines, Stephen W. King
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article develops an organizational scheme that explains how administrative structure influences the long term viability of communication programs in higher education. Drawing on organizational theory, it crosses composition and governance dimensions to build a two by two matrix that positions departments along continua from compositionally unified to compositionally diffused and from organizationally coherent to organizationally isolated. Through conceptual argument grounded in bureaucratic analysis, this article advances four propositions linking structural position to instructional capacity, research collaboration, external funding, resource allocation, political influence, and curricular flexibility. It contends that programs located in the unified coherent quadrant capitalize on economies of …
Planning Departmental Structure: Disciplinary Integrity Versus Pragmatic Opportunism, Lloyd Crisp, David Seibert
Planning Departmental Structure: Disciplinary Integrity Versus Pragmatic Opportunism, Lloyd Crisp, David Seibert
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article interrogates whether speech communication departments should pursue disciplinary coherence or embrace pragmatic opportunism while adapting to shifting institutional environments. Through case study analysis of structural evolution at a land grant university and a suburban research campus, it traces how size, articulation mandates, physical facilities, campus politics, curricular demand, public image, and faculty composition interact to shape organizational structure, program identity, governance, and resource allocation. A systems theory perspective yields ten planning criteria, showing that alignment with local contingencies rather than idealized disciplinary purity sustains enrollment stability, instructional quality, and faculty legitimacy. By framing communication studies as a socially …
The Reality Of Recruiting Minority And Women Faculty In Speech Communication: Some Considerations, Deborah Borisoff
The Reality Of Recruiting Minority And Women Faculty In Speech Communication: Some Considerations, Deborah Borisoff
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines structural and cultural obstacles that speech communication departments face when recruiting, hiring, and retaining minority and women faculty within U S higher education. Drawing on case based observations from multiple institutions, this article traces how pipeline shortages, geographic isolation, competitive salary markets, and implicit evaluative bias intersect with affirmative action mandates to shape faculty diversity outcomes. Discussion highlights the tension between legal compliance and attitudinal change, explores how tenure criteria emphasizing quantity over quality of research can disadvantage underrepresented scholars, and outlines strategies such as early mentoring, targeted doctoral recruitment, inclusive search processes, community integration support, and …
Quotas Or Goals: Fulfilling The Affirmative Action Mandate, Lea P. Stewart
Quotas Or Goals: Fulfilling The Affirmative Action Mandate, Lea P. Stewart
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article traces the evolution of affirmative action from labor legislation to current civil rights policy, illustrating how proactive recruitment rather than numerical quotas can strengthen faculty diversity in speech communication departments. Drawing on legal analysis, organizational theory, and practical experience at a large public university, this article argues that eliminating negative stereotypes requires intentional expansion of applicant pools, systematic networking with protected groups, and individualized mentoring during searches. It details procedures such as targeted advertising, personal outreach, and balanced evaluation criteria that attract qualified scholars from underrepresented communities without compromising academic rigor. By positioning affirmative action as a goal …

The Structure And Function Of A Community College Speech Communication Department, Francine Roussell Berkey
The Structure And Function Of A Community College Speech Communication Department, Francine Roussell Berkey
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article traces how organizational structure directs curriculum development, resource allocation, and staffing in a rural community college speech communication department. By situating the unit within state financing, divisional governance, and institutional committees, this article explains how structure shapes course scheduling, credit hour production, budget flexibility, and faculty workload. Structural analysis reveals that limited fiscal autonomy and small enrollment encourage service oriented curricula, reliance on adjunct instructors, and continuous adaptation to external program reviews. Functional outcomes are linked to broader institutional demands, while an evolutionary perspective highlights recent reorganization debates and their implications for departmental resilience. Findings provide communication administrators …
