The Impact Of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management Self Efficacy And Implicit Biases On Teachers’ Perceptions Of Student And Their Behaviors, Andrew Edward William Slany Jan 2025

The Impact Of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management Self Efficacy And Implicit Biases On Teachers’ Perceptions Of Student And Their Behaviors, Andrew Edward William Slany

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Teachers’ perceptions of student behaviors influences the daily decisions that are made within the classroom setting. Specifically, teachers’ perceptions influence the decision-making process related to how teachers manage student problem behaviors and teachers’ responses to these behaviors. Research has found that teachers’ classroom management self-efficacy and student infraction history can impact teachers’ perceptions of student behaviors. Additionally, teachers’ perceptions of students and their behaviors can be influenced by implicit biases. However, there still exists a gap within the literature that does not fully explain why these teacher judgements occur. The current study examines whether teachers’ culturally responsive classroom management self-efficacy …

The Role Of Disgust In Contamination-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms, Jonathan A. Teller Jan 2025

The Role Of Disgust In Contamination-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms, Jonathan A. Teller

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Disgust has been identified as a primary emotion potentially involved in the development and maintenance of contamination-related obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. Research suggests that disgust comprises two distinct components: disgust propensity (DP; tendency or predisposition to experience disgust across situations) and disgust sensitivity (DS; the intensity of disgust experiences and their negative evaluation). Although both DP and DS have been linked to contamination-related OC symptoms, most studies have examined them separately or relied solely on self-report measures. The present study examined whether DP and DS uniquely predict both in-vivo disgust experiences and behavioral approach during a behavioral approach task (BAT). Undergraduate …

Moral Injury In First Responders: The Potential Ameliorative Role Of Self-Disclosure, Peter Tappenden Jan 2025

Moral Injury In First Responders: The Potential Ameliorative Role Of Self-Disclosure, Peter Tappenden

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Perceived social support is a well-established buffer between trauma exposure and adverse outcomes like PTSD. One important aspect of this relationship may be that individuals with strong support networks may be more likely to discuss (“self-disclose”) the traumatic event to members of their support network. Two important aspects of self-disclosure that impact its potential for symptom alleviation following trauma exposure may be: 1) the discloser’s perceived response of the disclosure recipient and 2) whether the trauma-exposed individual repeatedly dwells (co-ruminates) on the traumatic event with the recipient in an unproductive manner. In recent years, a different type of traumatic event …

The Impacts Of Trust In The Time Of Covid-19, Hannah Temes Jan 2025

The Impacts Of Trust In The Time Of Covid-19, Hannah Temes

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Over 350,000 Americans died from COVID-19 in 2020, the first year of the pandemic. Federal health institutions such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Human Health Services (DHHS) established guidelines for the public to follow during the pandemic. However, trust in these institutions varied resulting in differing public response —some followed the COVID protocols while others did not. It has been argued that when someone’s self-interest is at risk, they need to trust the government to take care of them. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when public health and self-interest were intertwined, …

"I Know You're Just Teasing Me!": Investigating 5th Grade Students' And Teachers' Understanding Of Prosocial Teasing, Ourja . Jan 2025

"I Know You're Just Teasing Me!": Investigating 5th Grade Students' And Teachers' Understanding Of Prosocial Teasing, Ourja .

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Children engage in prosocial teasing which is an ambiguous, positive, and humorous social interaction involving the use of intentional provocation and off-record markers to form meaningful relationships and resolve conflicts (Keltner et al., 2001). While research has indicated a significant prevalence of prosocial teasing use among children, limited studies have explored the levels of prosocial teasing use among elementary school students and teachers' ratings of that use (Barnett et al., 2004; Smith et al., 2009). This study aimed at refining an existing child behavior scale to develop a subscale that accurately measured and represented prosocial teasing in elementary school children. …

Romantic Relationship Quality, Coparenting, And Parenting: An Actor Partner Interdependence Mediation Model, Jill Caradec Jan 2025

Romantic Relationship Quality, Coparenting, And Parenting: An Actor Partner Interdependence Mediation Model, Jill Caradec

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Family systems theory indicates there is interdependence between family subsystems. Indeed, previous research has found associations between romantic relationship quality, coparenting, and parenting. However, few have actually accounted for the interdependence of mothers and fathers and these constructs. Even fewer have considered how coparenting may serve as an indirect pathway between romantic relationship quality and parenting behaviors. The aim of the current study was to fill these gaps in the literature by utilizing an actor-partner interdependence mediation model. Specifically, mothers’ and fathers’ perception of the coparenting relationship was tested within one model as indirect paths for the actor and partner …

Natural Resources And The Role Of Political Parties In Perpetuating Authoritarian Regimes In Indonesia And Cambodia, Azriansyah A. Agoes Jan 2025

Natural Resources And The Role Of Political Parties In Perpetuating Authoritarian Regimes In Indonesia And Cambodia, Azriansyah A. Agoes

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

This dissertation explains the puzzle of the survival of authoritarian regimes through a comparative study of Indonesia and Cambodia. Despite the two countries being blessed with rich natural resources and ruled by dictators for more than thirty years, Suharto in Indonesia and Hun Sen in Cambodia experienced different political fates. After ruling Indonesia for 32 years, mass protests and elite betrayals forced Suharto to step down in May 1998. He left Indonesia in a chaotic situation as riots and violence erupted in every corner of the country, and his successor had to face repeated coup attempts due to a lack …

Exploring School Psychologists’ Sld Decisions For Emergent Bilingual Students, Brooke Ann Butcher Jan 2025

Exploring School Psychologists’ Sld Decisions For Emergent Bilingual Students, Brooke Ann Butcher

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Emergent bilinguals (EBs) are one of the fastest-growing student populations in K-12 schools, yet research on their evaluation for special education, particularly for specific learning disabilities (SLD), remains limited. School psychologists play a critical role in these evaluations, yet prior studies indicate they often struggle to differentiate between language-based learning difficulties and true learning disabilities. This study examined how school psychologists weigh different evaluation components—background information, progress monitoring data, and standardized test data—when making SLD eligibility determinations for EBs compared to native English speakers. Using an experimental vignette design, 109 practicing school psychologists were randomly assigned to review a student …

Investigating The Impact Of A Brief Self-Compassion Intervention On Shame And Psychopathology For Women With Histories Of Childhood Emotional Abuse, Sarah Hill Jan 2025

Investigating The Impact Of A Brief Self-Compassion Intervention On Shame And Psychopathology For Women With Histories Of Childhood Emotional Abuse, Sarah Hill

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Background: Childhood emotional abuse, while frequently co-occurring with other types of abuse, is often neglected within the trauma literature, but has been found to be an important independent predictor of adult psychopathology. Shame represents a potentially important and malleable factor that may contribute to the development and maintenance of poor psychological outcomes. As such, interventions focused on increasing self-compassion have been identified as promising methods to decrease experiences of shame, and ultimately symptoms of psychopathology. While literature on brief self-compassion interventions has rapidly increased in recent years, notable gaps remain. Specifically, there is limited research exploring the impact of brief …

Statelessness And The Social Construction Of Rohingya’S Citizenship Rights In Myanmar, Md Imamul Hossain Jan 2025

Statelessness And The Social Construction Of Rohingya’S Citizenship Rights In Myanmar, Md Imamul Hossain

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

The Rohingya’s statelessness is a result of their systematic exclusion from protection mechanisms and citizenship rights. The Burmese government and the majority Buddhist population have marginalized and discriminated against the Rohingya, deeply impacting identity politics among the Rohingya. Due to their lack of a national identity document in Myanmar, the Rohingya are easy targets for discrimination and violence. The fact that they are not considered full citizens has also made it hard for them to receive essential support. My thesis carefully analyzes how dominant narratives, legal instruments, and bureaucratic mechanisms systematically excluded Rohingya from citizenship rights in Myanmar as well …

Beyond Borders: Exploring Counselors’ Perceptions Of Multicultural Counseling Competencies Following Cultural Immersion, Kassandra M. Kavanaugh Jan 2025

Beyond Borders: Exploring Counselors’ Perceptions Of Multicultural Counseling Competencies Following Cultural Immersion, Kassandra M. Kavanaugh

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Research has revealed that cultural immersion can increase multicultural counseling competencies in counselors-in-training (Barden & Cashwell, 2014; Barden et al., 2015; Choi & Protivnak, 2016; Dietz & Baker, 2019; Gaia, 2015; Wathen & Kleist, 2015). In light of the increasing diversity within the counseling profession and cultural competency continuing education requirements, the examination of cultural immersion as a means of shaping counselors' cultural competence is both justified and imperative. By utilizing interpretive phenomenological analysis, five participants were interviewed to better understand professional counselors’ perceptions of their multicultural counseling competencies following cultural immersion. The results from this study identified five themes, …

A Study Of Pattern Of Cybercrime Abuse Of Individual Internet Users In Umuahia North Lga, Abia State Of South-Eastern Nigeria, Ogochukwu Favour Nzeakor, Rita Ngozi Okafor, Chibuike Ndubuisi Nwoke

International Journal of Cybersecurity Intelligence & Cybercrime

Although a number of studies exist on cybercrime and its abuses, little is known about the pattern of cybercrime abuses individual Internet users experience in Nigeria, especially the south eastern region. Using data collected via various methods, this study examines the pattern of cybercrime abuses of individual Internet users in Umuahia, Abia State, of South Eastern Nigeria. The result of the analysis of 1,067 samples drawn from 223,134 Internet users in Umuahia North LGA of Abia Sate showed that: while most users are victims of stolen ICT-gadgets (19%), fraud related offences (17%), and hacking (15%); they rarely fall victims of …

Examining School Psychologists’ Perspectives Of School Resource Officers, Kaylee Engle Jan 2025

Examining School Psychologists’ Perspectives Of School Resource Officers, Kaylee Engle

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Following highly publicized acts of school violence since the 1990s, school resource officers (SROs) have become increasingly common fixtures in U.S. public schools. However, research on educational stakeholders' perceptions of school resource officers is limited, and studies that have been conducted have produced mixed results. The purpose of this study was to examine school psychologists' perspectives of school resource officers. School psychologists have unique training and knowledge regarding the establishment of safe and supportive schools, as well as an ethical obligation to promote practices that contribute to positive school environments, yet no previous studies had examined these professionals' perceptions of …

Crypto Stamps And Cultural Heritage Representation: A Case Study Of Ghana's Asantehene Commemorative Stamp, Henrietta Otoo Jan 2025

Crypto Stamps And Cultural Heritage Representation: A Case Study Of Ghana's Asantehene Commemorative Stamp, Henrietta Otoo

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This study examined Ghana's Asantehene commemorative crypto stamp as a case of how emerging technologies intersect with cultural heritage preservation in Africa. Through qualitative textual and visual analysis, the research explores how the stamp, issued by Ghana Post to honor the 25th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's reign, blends traditional philatelic practices with blockchain-enabled non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The analysis uncovered how the stamp's visual rhetoric, royal iconography, and blockchain authentication collectively serve to reinforce national identity, institutional memory, and elite narrative power. The analysis uncovered how royal iconography and visual rhetoric serve nation-building and institutional memory while blockchain introduces …

Temporary Marriage In Iraq: Views And Perceptions, Zena Al Safar Jan 2025

Temporary Marriage In Iraq: Views And Perceptions, Zena Al Safar

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

In July 2024, the Shia Muslim Parliament members proposed an amendment to the Personal Status Law. This amendment was passed on February 11, 2025. Per the amendment, the Shia Ja’afari School of Islamic jurisprudence has four months from the time the amendment was passed to submit a Personal Status Code for approval. It is speculated that this new Code will legalize mut’ah marriage, which is a type of temporary marriage. Temporary marriage within Islam is a heterosexual marriage that does not convey long-term commitment and usually has an end date. While scholarly written work in this field exists in other …

A Feminist Evaluation Of The Joint Programme: Assessing The Cultural Sensitivity Of Unicef And Unfpa's Strategies On Female Genital Cutting/Circumcision In Senegal And Nigeria, Coumba Soumare Jan 2025

A Feminist Evaluation Of The Joint Programme: Assessing The Cultural Sensitivity Of Unicef And Unfpa's Strategies On Female Genital Cutting/Circumcision In Senegal And Nigeria, Coumba Soumare

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Female Genital Cutting/Circumcision (FGC) encompasses procedures involving the partial or total removal of female external genitalia or other genital injuries, performed for non-medical reasons. Typically carried out on young girls, often between infancy and age 15, FGC is widely condemned in global discourse as a harmful and barbaric practice. However, within certain cultures, it is viewed as a rite of passage or a necessary tradition. I argue that to effectively address FGC, organizations must adopt a culturally sensitive approach. This research examines the United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) and the United Nations Population Fund’s (UNFPA) initiatives in Senegal and Nigeria. …

Yes, Those Are My Biological Parents: Growing Up Multiracial In The United States, Angie Navejas Jan 2025

Yes, Those Are My Biological Parents: Growing Up Multiracial In The United States, Angie Navejas

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

“Multiracial individuals are the fastest growing racial population in the United States” (Atkin & Jackson; 2021:305). Literature highlights how parents transmit culture through racial socialization, however there is a missing piece, the perspective of the children. This study sought to expand the existing literature to include children’s perspectives and how it relates to their multiracial identity formation. Recognizing the complexity of conducting research with children, a survey was administered to adults ranging from the ages of 18 to 35 years old. This resulted in a collection of data from their recollection of experiences and interactions with their parents or caregivers …
