Voters’ Perception Of Public Corruption And Low Voter Turnout: A Qualitative Case Study Of Cook County, Dawn Merdelin Johnson
Voters’ Perception Of Public Corruption And Low Voter Turnout: A Qualitative Case Study Of Cook County, Dawn Merdelin Johnson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Public corruption has been a persistent issue in Cook County, Illinois, for over four decades. Research on major global democracies has demonstrated a connection between public corruption and low voter turnout. This qualitative study explored whether the same connection existed in the Cook County 2019 Municipal Election. This study used purposeful sampling to select and interview three registered voters in Cook County. This study also applied Rational Choice Theory to determine whether voters voted according to their self-interest. Data were collected through semistructured telephone interviews. A thematic analysis was used to reveal five broad themes: public corruption is self-serving, voting …
The Effects Of Early Language Deprivation On Deaf Adults’ Interpersonal Relationships, Brianna Martz
The Effects Of Early Language Deprivation On Deaf Adults’ Interpersonal Relationships, Brianna Martz
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Within the United States, 90 to 95% of Deaf individuals are born to hearing parents who have little to no experience with deafness, Deaf culture or the Deaf community. Due to a multitude of factors, these individuals typically grow up with limited access to a complete language until they reach kindergarten or later. Additionally, American Sign Language (ASL)-based resources are rare or non-existent in most areas of mainstream living. Using a phenomenological method of inquiry, the study illuminated the lived experiences of early language deprivation for Deaf American adults in relation to their ability to cope with deaf-specific trauma during …
Efficient Primary Education Service Delivery In The Local Nigerian Government, Kezia Igwebueze
Efficient Primary Education Service Delivery In The Local Nigerian Government, Kezia Igwebueze
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The inefficient service delivery of local government in Nigeria in the provision and maintenance of primary education and educational facilities is problematic. There is the dearth of instructional, recreational, residential, and social facilities in the learning environment that enable teachers and learners to carry out their work and assimilate efficiently. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the determining factors that influence the culture of inefficiency in the primary education service delivery function across local government councils in Nigeria and investigate how the culture of efficiency can be recreated. Sutherland’s differential association theory provided the theoretical foundation …
The Relative Strength Of Managerial Abuse, Emotion Regulation, And Displaced Aggression On Life Satisfaction, Mikhail Lyublinsky
The Relative Strength Of Managerial Abuse, Emotion Regulation, And Displaced Aggression On Life Satisfaction, Mikhail Lyublinsky
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The potential for negative experiences in the workplace, such as managerial abuse (i.e., the inappropriate and harmful behavior of managers towards subordinates, including verbal aggression and unfair treatment), presents significant obstacles to employee satisfaction and overall well-being. Although ample evidence has supported the detrimental impact of managerial abuse on employees' life satisfaction, the influence of other factors such as the ability to regulate one’s emotional reactions and/or vent one’s anger by displacing it on someone without the power to retaliate may further impact one’s satisfaction with life. Informed by the theory of displaced aggression, the purpose of this quantitative, nonexperimental, …
Qualitative Study Of Public Policy Affecting Public University Students: How Positive Psychology May Lessen Racism, Russell F. Peck
Qualitative Study Of Public Policy Affecting Public University Students: How Positive Psychology May Lessen Racism, Russell F. Peck
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Racism, racial inequity, and racial violence, including micro-aggressions (slurs and fearful glances) are endemic in modern American society. Finding ways to eliminate or at least mitigate racism and racial violence is important, not only for public safety but also to ensure equality, fairness, and social harmony among every stratum of American society. The purpose of this study was to determine if teaching positive psychology in Boston, Massachusetts (MA)-area university college classrooms helped improve race relations. The primary research question involved determining factors that create racism and racial violence in society. The second research question was about if an education policy …

The Effectiveness Of Counseling Juveniles And Guardians As A Measure Of Recidivism, Robert D. Johnson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
This study explored the lived experiences and perceptions of 10 juvenile justice professionals who had interacted with juvenile offenders and their guardians. This phenomenological qualitative study aimed to examine the outcomes of functional family therapy (FFT) between juvenile offenders and their guardians and their impact on recidivism rates in the National Capital Region portion of the Washington Metropolitan area. The theoretical framework that guided this study was FFT, which focuses on family dynamics and interactions while addressing a youth’s problem behavior. During semi-structured interviews (conducted via Zoom (due to COVID-19 restrictions), participants were asked open-ended questions about their feelings, experiences, …
African American Family Structure Of Caring For A Member With Alzheimer's Disease And Dementia, Sherry Lane Perry
African American Family Structure Of Caring For A Member With Alzheimer's Disease And Dementia, Sherry Lane Perry
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) affect African Americans (AA) more than other ethnic or racial groups. It is common for AA diagnosed with ADRD to be cared for in the home. Historically, family members that provide care consist of significant others, relatives, and extended family. The United States Census Bureau showed an increase in Americans aged sixty and older from 55.7 million to 74.6 million. Due to the increase in the AA elderly population, the need for family caregivers will increase for this minority group. This study explored how AA family caregivers described their experiences and unique family structure …
Intersecting Identities And Adjustment To The Primary-Secondary School Transition: An Integrative Review, Joanne Harris, Rebecca Nowland, Megan Todd
Intersecting Identities And Adjustment To The Primary-Secondary School Transition: An Integrative Review, Joanne Harris, Rebecca Nowland, Megan Todd
Journal of Educational Research and Practice
The primary-to-secondary school transition is a milestone for children because of the multiple changes they must navigate. Although most adjust successfully, approximately 30% of children have difficulties during this transition. Intersecting identities are also likely to influence how children navigate the adjustment of the school transfer, but there have been no syntheses of existing evidence relating to the impacts of intersectionality. We conducted an integrative review using eight databases (Education database, ERIC, ProQuest Education, PsychInfo, Scopus, SocIndex, Sociology Database, and Web of Science) and searched for quantitative or qualitative studies that examined how intersecting identities impact children’s self-concept, mental health, …
Spontaneous Self-Affirmation And Social Context As Moderators Between Stereotype Threat And Online Academic Performance, Katrina Hilton
Spontaneous Self-Affirmation And Social Context As Moderators Between Stereotype Threat And Online Academic Performance, Katrina Hilton
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Despite years of progress, there remains an academic achievement gap among minority and non-minority students in all levels of education. A possible reason for the persistent achievement gap is stereotype threat, which is a situational predicament that prompts individuals to perform in ways that mirror the stereotypes associated with their social groups. Self-affirmation interventions are often used to disrupt the effects of stereotype threat, as students are taught how to focus on their strengths and values to help improve their self-concepts. However, spontaneous self-affirmation techniques may be more impactful because students are able to automatically self-affirm in any psychologically threatening …
Religion And Gender-Based Preferences In Therapist Selection Among Orthodox Jews, Yehuda L. Rosen
Religion And Gender-Based Preferences In Therapist Selection Among Orthodox Jews, Yehuda L. Rosen
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The preferences of Orthodox Jews when choosing a therapist are important to understand, as they can inform practice for individuals, clinics, and referral agencies. The purpose of this study was to determine the preferences for gender-matched therapists, Orthodox Jewish therapists, and specific therapist characteristics among Orthodox Jews. The study was based on Bordin’s working alliance model of psychotherapy, which contends that a strong working alliance is necessary for effective psychotherapy. The research questions were used to explore whether Orthodox Jewish men and women differed in their preferences for gender-matched or Orthodox Jewish therapists, whether religiosity predicted a preference for gender-matched …
Lived Experiences Of Young Adults Raised With A Sibling With Autism, Lamika Demitris Thomas
Lived Experiences Of Young Adults Raised With A Sibling With Autism, Lamika Demitris Thomas
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
When a child has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the family structure is affected. Although researchers have documented increased stress and depression among parents of children with ASD, they have not adequately explored siblings’ perspectives on the emotional, physical, and/or psychological implications of having a brother or sister with ASD. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore siblings’ lived experiences of growing up in a household with a sibling with ASD. The conceptual framework for this study was grounded in the siblings embedded systems framework (SESF), which helps contextualize siblings’ experiences, including interacting factors, and how these experiences …
A Descriptive Study Of Namibian Child Sex Offenders, Ndeyapo Emma Nafuka
A Descriptive Study Of Namibian Child Sex Offenders, Ndeyapo Emma Nafuka
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The sexual abuse of children is a worldwide traumatic event with potential for adverse long-term physical and psychological consequences. There has been a plethora of research in the Western societies that examined offenders of child sexual abuse. Due to a number of methodological limitations, the findings of these studies cannot be used to effectively explain African offenders of child sexual abuse. This study employed a quantitative non-experimental, descriptive research approach method to examine the demographic and criminological characteristics of adult men who sexually abused children in Namibia. The data were collected by reviewing 183 files of Namibian male offenders incarcerated …

Factors Impacting Leading Hybrid And Remote Teams In Higher Education In A Post Covid-19 Environment, Juana L. Parillon
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic had a significant impact on post-secondary education in the United States with much of the focus during the height of the pandemic being on students and their instruction. Little attention has been paid to the experiences of supervisors in higher education, specifically, the lived experiences of supervisors and the factors that impacted supervisors leading hybrid and remote teams. With a phenomenological framework in the periphery, the purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences that supervisors of staff within higher education had after transitioning to either a hybrid or fully remote work model. …
