The Interactional Nature Of Familial Elderly Abuse: A Study In The Sociology Of Emotions Chapters 4-6, Patricia Jordan Jan 1996

The Interactional Nature Of Familial Elderly Abuse: A Study In The Sociology Of Emotions Chapters 4-6, Patricia Jordan

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

This paper proposes that, in placing an emphasis on quantitative measurements of certain situational and relational stress factors, existing research in the field of familial elderly abuse has neglected the importance of addressing the dynamics of violent relationships. As such, the role of self-esteem in violent interaction has not only remained an elusive concept, it has necessarily been given less emphasis. Drawing upon the works of Denzin (1984, 1989), Jackson (1984), Scheff (1970, 1990a, 1990b), and Scheff and Retzinger (1991), the present study proffers an innovative, composite methodological approach for overcoming these past oversights; one which serves to complement existing …

The Politics Of Puberty: Gender Harassment In The Schools, Cynthia A. Falcone Jan 1996

The Politics Of Puberty: Gender Harassment In The Schools, Cynthia A. Falcone

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Sexual harassment in the work place and on college campuses has been acknowledged for some time, but its prevalence in high schools and junior high schools has only recently come to light. Reports of student-to-student gender harassment by school-aged children are often dismissed as teasing. The lack of response leaves victims feeling isolated and unsafe. Gender harassment is placed on a sexual violence continuum, revealing it to be a patterned, systematic form of oppression based on gender. The effects of gender harassment, as experienced by the targets, with regard to the definition of self and autonomy are discussed. A model …

The Third Generation Hypothesis And Latina/O Dating Patterns At Humboldt State University, Elizabeth Flores Jan 1996

The Third Generation Hypothesis And Latina/O Dating Patterns At Humboldt State University, Elizabeth Flores

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Assimilation into the mainstream culture has been studied extensively. The degree of assimilation, ethnic identity, and cultural awareness varies for the first, second, and third generations of an ethnic group. In order to test these assumptions a study was conducted at the campus of Humboldt State University. Using Marcus Lee Hansen's third generation hypothesis of "what the [child] wishes to forget, the grand[child] wishes to remember", as a theoretical framework and Milton Gordon's schema of assimilation, a questionnaire was devised and administered. The sample was composed of 25 Latino males and 25 Latina females of various ages and class standings. …

Pilot Creek: An Application And Analysis Of Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods Applied To Interaction Between The United States Forest Service And Public, Julius A. Marks Jan 1995

Pilot Creek: An Application And Analysis Of Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods Applied To Interaction Between The United States Forest Service And Public, Julius A. Marks

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Ecosystem management demands that the United States Forest Service (U.S.F.S.) include historically excluded viewpoints in managing the forest. This project explored the use of facilitation, by a third party, to help the U.S.F.S. and interested public citizens cooperatively work together as ecosystem management plans were finalized in the Pilot Creek Drainage in Six Rivers National Forest. The objective of this project was to aid both the U.S.F.S. and the public in making new cooperative/ collaborative relationships for ecosystem management. This objective was carried out by establishing "information exchange” meetings between historical adversaries, the U.S.F.S. and prominent environmental activists. This project …


Mediation: A Feminist Inquiry, Nell J. Damon Jan 1995

Mediation: A Feminist Inquiry, Nell J. Damon

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Feminist academicians and activists have been working diligently for decades to incorporate the experience of women into existing theory and research. The field of mediation and negotiation is no exception. Mediation, a form of conflict resolution, has become a more widespread alternative to litigation in recent years. Supporters describe it as a balanced, fair, and egalitarian mode for the resolution of disputes and the construction of agreements. Disputants come to the mediation table as "equals." Power imbalances are supposedly left at the door. Mediation empowers disputants, allowing them to create agreements, while litigation requires disputants to passively accept the -judgment …


Walking The Thin Blue Line: An Assessment Of The Nature Of Stress Within The Arcata Police Department, Tyler Michael Trevor Jan 1995

Walking The Thin Blue Line: An Assessment Of The Nature Of Stress Within The Arcata Police Department, Tyler Michael Trevor

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The findings of the Arcata Police Stress Survey have produced a variety of important discoveries. These results can not only be used to help reduce the stress experienced by APD personnel, but can also help create awareness amongst the public and governmental sectors. Above all, this research directs the attention of its readers to three major facets of police stress: levels and groups experiencing stress, sources of stress, and coping strategies. First, stress levels within APD reveal that the majority of personnel are experiencing moderate to high levels of stress. In particular, one group stands out and illicits attention. Those …


Visions Of A Healthy Community In Alternative Health Care, Lisa H. Jackson Jan 1995

Visions Of A Healthy Community In Alternative Health Care, Lisa H. Jackson

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The American health care system is undergoing rapid change. The Clinton Administration is in the process of restructuring not only the way health care is delivered but is attempting to make access to health care more inclusive. This change will affect patients (the public), insurance companies, doctors, and the burgeoning alternative health care industry. Statistically, there is an increase in the number of people who are turning to and utilizing alternative health care as their preferred method of treatment. This thesis attempts to determine the prevalence of alternative health care use in the Arcata/Eureka area and to assess if it …


The Power Of Social Exchange: Gift Giving Vs. Economic Exchange, Shawn E. Siah Jan 1995

The Power Of Social Exchange: Gift Giving Vs. Economic Exchange, Shawn E. Siah

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Past experimental research on the distribution of power in social networks indicated that central positions in a social network have a significant exchange advantage over peripheral positions. All of these studies have focused on economic exchange situations, in which the economic rewards are the sole basis of the exchange. These studies have not examined social exchange situations, in which the exchange of social courtesy between network positions is seen as important or more important than the economic rewards being exchanged. An experiment was designed to test a hypothesis about social exchange situations suggested by anthropological research. The hypothesis is that …
