▼ This study examined friendships among US Air Force Academy cadets from the perspective of Academy alumni. Alumni data reveal the value of cadet friendships where resultant social cohesion is tied to resilience throughout military training as well as to long-term professional relationships. Friendships are the locus of resilience within the Cadet Wing, and alumni experiences reveal that social capital development begins as early as Basic Cadet Training. The study’s theoretical model, adapted from Weidman's (1989) study of college freshmen social interactivity, juxtaposes cadet attributes (demographic characteristics of entering first-year students) against normative pressures inherent in the military/academic training environment (related to social and task cohesion and gender hegemony). The profile of students entering the Academy is typified by exemplary academic, athletic and civic performance, and while the Academy offers social and academic support programs to address retention, the historically high attrition rate strongly suggests a relationally-mediated identity shift is necessary. This identity shift typically begins before or during Basic Cadet Training. Causal-comparative data analysis suggests formation of at least one trusted friendship is a strong determinant in cadets’ ability to persist through social-normative pressures. Data reveal further that military-family ties, race, and gender are secondary considerations of friendship building concerning overall influence upon cadets’ ability to endure military and academic stresses than were shared values, goals, and experiences.

▼ In the early 21st century, the U.S. healthcare industry is undergoing a myriad of changes that include a focus on reimbursements to hospitals from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) based on the perceptions of patients' satisfaction of their care. This study utilizes the survey results as administered through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS©) survey along with nine hospital characteristics to determine predictive analysis of the scores based on the independent variables. The quantitative analysis utilized multiple regression to determine statistical significance of the variables and determine if the variables can predict the satisfaction scores. The hospital characteristics chosen include Academic, Baldrige Award, Faith Based, For Profit, MAGNETTM, Most WiredTM, Safety Net, Sole Provider, and System. The survey data were obtained through CMS's public domain and then filtered for acute care, non-specialty hospitals. With a total list of 3,100 hospitals, each hospital was coded to the unique characteristics. Once coding was completed, the full dataset was divided into combinations of the variables and data consisting of "All Variables", "Application Variables", "Non-Application Variables", "Low Response Rate on Survey", "Medium Response Rate on Survey", "High Response Rate on Survey", and grouping of hospitals defined by CMS's ten geographical regions. Through these multiple analysis of the data, the researcher was able to search for themes on the highest Adjusted R2 to show the predictive power with the intent of identifying a common culture through a high-level characteristic that would be the driver of patient satisfaction. The findings showed significance in the data, but lower than expected predictability based on the hospital characteristics. The highest predictive variables were from three CMS geographic regions with only one specific survey question, Willingness to Recommend Hospital (all variables). This was an unexpected finding and outside the literature reviewed. It focuses the question on the drivers of patient satisfaction as not associated with the hospital characteristics utilized in this study, but possibly with cultural and demographic issues that could contribute to future work.

▼ This study used a case study design to identify performance management techniques that are useful when managing a diverse workplace, specifically when working with adults on the Autism Spectrum (AS). The case study provided employees and managers the opportunity to share their experiences and the information gained was used to inform others who seek career options that align with their skills, abilities, and interests. A historical literature review about the Autism Spectrum was conducted to identify what additional information is needed about the implications for having those on the AS in the workplace. In the literature, authors
state that managers should familiarize themselves with how employees on the AS think, as well as their behaviors, communication styles, and overall needs so that they can be supported. The literature review exhibited how the frequency of children being identified on the AS is changing. The AS styles of learning were explored and the primary preferred styles of learning were identified to help inform managers who may be working with employees on the Spectrum. In the field of Human Resource Development (HRD), performance management is used to address learning and overall employee performance. The literature review included three models to inform the purpose and foundation of this study. These models demonstrate how employees directly impact organizational performance and success. Managers should identify employee performance problems and solutions as related to job design, rewards, expectations, and links to organizational goals. This can be accomplished through a performance management technique known as feedback. Feedback can be provided through formal evaluations and appraisals and day-to-day interactions. Through the use of feedback, managers and employees can ensure that their expectations are in sync and identify training needs. It is critical that managers provide specific feedback about employee job expectations and performance outcomes so employees can learn and clearly understand what is being communicated. Additionally, as the literature states, managers should be aware of their employees’ diverse communication and learning styles to ensure information is shared appropriately. A case study analyzed Blue Star Recyclers (BSR), a company that recycles electronics while providing employment for individuals with disabilities (including Autism) while investigating performance management techniques useful when managing a diverse workplace. Interviews, observations, and documents were reviewed to gain insight into BSR management practices and how they affect BSR Management and Techs (employees). Structured and semi-structured interviews were conducted with Managers (n = 6) and Techs (n = 4). Interview responses were transcribed and participants were allowed the opportunity to review them and provide feedback. Observational data were collected about the interactions between the Techs and Management to determine how they communicated with each other, as well as behaviors of their…

▼ With the advent of the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) as the sole national accrediting organization for educator preparation programs (EPP) and the subsequent release of the five CAEP standards, an EPP desiring collegiate program accreditation must demonstrate the existence of a clinical partnership that serves the dual purpose of preparing quality teacher candidates and positively impacting the education of PK-12 students. To date, little has been written on the impact of these standards on clinical practice in educator preparation or on how EPPs are operationalizing the CAEP standards. This multi-manuscript, co-written dissertation studied the critical role of partnerships as defined by CAEP in the renewal and innovation of educator preparation and educational research. In two separate qualitative studies, the researchers used focus group methodology to collect clinical partnership stakeholders' descriptions of their understanding of rich clinical practice and the benefits of clinical partnerships as defined by CAEP Standard 2. These descriptions provided the data that were analyzed through a deductive and inductive coding process. It was found that stakeholders described clinical experiences as crucial to teacher candidates' development of knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions, and identified clinical experiences as the space where theory and practice intersect. Findings also showed that stakeholders identified collaboration, mutually beneficial, sustaining and generative, shared accountability, and positive impact as the key components in a clinical partnership. Additionally, the role of partnerships in collaborative research and co-writing was examined and the researchers provided a rationale for the option of a co-authored dissertation.

▼ The accrediting body, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), has set forth a set of new standards in 2013 that demand excellence and produce educators who raise PK-12 student achievement. Standard 2: Clinical Partnerships and Practice requires that educator preparation programs (EPP) seeking accreditation should have strong collaborative partnerships with school districts and their individual schools. These collaborative partnerships are a shared endeavor meant to focus dually on the improvement of student learning and development and on the preparation of teachers. The partners shall work together to determine the division of responsibilities among the various partnership stakeholders and the values and expectations of program development, implementation, assessment, and continuous improvement. The purpose of this multi-manuscript co-written dissertation included two separate studies utilizing focus group methodology to highlight how key stakeholders in EPPs describe the benefits and barriers of CAEP Standard 2: Clinical Partnerships and Practice within the context of those stakeholders' institutions. A priori codes were used in both qualitative studies to see how stakeholders' descriptions aligned with Standard 2 guiding principles. Inductive codes were identified, which focused on barriers described in clinical partnerships. Results were presented in two different manuscripts from the two studies and indicate strong correlation between stakeholders descriptions with both a priori and inductive codes. Based on the findings, suggestions for further research will be presented.

▼ Stimulated by Lockwood's discussion of design thinking, creativity, and innovation and their impact on new business growth (2009), this research project sought to develop quantitative measurement of factors and attributes contributing to increased innovation in organizations; specifically within the context of creative synthesis encompassing the design thinking environment. Creative synthesis is the process or leap of faith and intuition leading to the achievement of an effective and creative problem solution. The development process resulting in the Creative Synthesis Inventory (CSI) considered the six step framework developed by Schmiedel, vom Brock, and Recker's (2014). The development process incorporated three phases and used responses from professional and industry experts and over six hundred student participants. Checkpoints were used at the conclusion of each step and the research design used mixed methods resulting in validation of a 19-item instrument. The CSI is intended to enable organizations and consultants to locate strengths and weaknesses for specific factors and attributes related to the constructs within the creative synthesis process.

▼ Researchers have established that spatial ability is a predictor of success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Unknown are the differences of spatial abilities among Construction Professionals comparative to other STEM and Non-STEM Professionals. The purpose of this study is to discover if there are specific activities, experiences, or education that are perceived to improve mental rotation abilities among practicing professionals in construction and related fields. Participants for this study were coded into four groups of professionals consisting of Construction Professionals, Construction Related Professionals, STEM Professionals and Non-STEM Professionals (N = 238). The population from which the sample was drawn came from a purchased national email list organized by Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes. Utilizing a survey instrument and the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotations (PSVT:R), differences in spatial ability were measured among these groups of professionals. A statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of Construction Professionals and Non-STEM Professionals (p = .016), and an effect size of .031 was reported. No other statistically significant differences in mean scores exist among the four groups. Test results facilitated comparisons of ability with self-attributed activities that enhanced spatial ability. Analysis showed that drawing was attributed more frequently among high scoring individuals (52%) than low scoring individuals (15%) as a useful activity enhancing spatial ability. PSVT:R scores were also compared with the amount of time per day participants made use of their spatial abilities. No statistically significant difference was found. Findings from this study suggest that higher spatial abilities are present among Construction Professionals and add an important dimension to industry recruitment with the potential implementation of spatial ability testing. Construction education curriculum likewise benefits from these findings that suggest drawing as an important activity increasing one's spatial ability.

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess awareness of e-cigarettes, to identify the factors associated with initial and continuing use of e-cigarettes, and to explore the reasons to use e-cigarettes among high school students. Three high schools in
Colorado participated in the study. High school students (n = 251) who were enrolled in health classes were surveyed in the fall semester of 2015. The majority of students were sophomores (59%), followed by freshmen (28%), juniors (8%), and seniors (3%). A majority of students reported never using e-cigarettes (81%) and a few students reported using them in the past (14%), using them occasionally (4%), and a very few (.4%) using them everyday. Pearson's chi-squared tests were performed to examine correlations among variables since most of the variables were nominal and assumptions of the parametric data were violated. The awareness of e-cigarettes included seeing, hearing, or watching e-cigarette advertising, receiving information through social media, and sharing information about e-cigarettes with close friends. Findings revealed no significant correlations between seeing, hearing, or watching e-cigarette advertising and current use of e-cigarettes. Findings indicated a significant correlation between variables of receiving or sharing information about e-cigarettes and using e-cigarettes. Seventy-one percent of non-users, 21% of past users, and 7% of current users of e-cigarettes reported receiving information about e-cigarettes through social media. Sixty-percent of non-users, 29% of past users, and 11% of current users of e-cigarettes reported sharing information about e-cigarettes with close friends. The implication of findings showed that there has been exposure to e-cigarette advertising among high schoolers. The factors associated with initial and continuing use of e-cigarettes included teens' tobacco history, close friends', parents', and family members' e-cigarette and traditional cigarette use. Findings showed statistical significance between past, current, and future use of tobacco products and e-cigarette use in high schoolers. Fifty-one percent of students, who used tobacco in the past, reported past use of e-cigarettes, where 21% of students, who used tobacco in the past, reported current use of e-cigarettes. Findings suggested being a former or current smoker was correlated with having ever used e-cigarettes and past e-cigarette use. E-cigarettes may be used as a smoking cessation tool or alternative to other tobacco products. Further research is needed on the use of e-cigarettes among tobacco users. A few students (2%) considered e-cigarettes as a future use of tobacco products alone or with waterpipe tobacco and traditional cigarettes because of being seen as "fun", "cool", "harmless", and because "friends used them. " The associations between parents', family members', and close friends' use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes, and teens' current use of e-cigarettes were explored. Findings showed family members', and close friends' e-cigarette use was related…

▼ This dissertation discusses the development, use, and analysis of a knowledge-based multiple-choice sustainability literacy assessment tool used in Spring 2016 at
Colorado State University (CSU). CSU is a leading institution of sustainability education and research, and a participant of the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System (STARS). A component of STARS includes assessing college students' sustainability literacy. The study, and the sustainability literacy assessment tool described, were designed within the framework of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). Data sets were collected and analyzed from a sustainability literacy assessment given in Spring 2016. Findings from the study show students performed highest in environmental sustainability literacy and lowest in social sustainability literacy, two of three dimensions of the TBL. Additionally, four focus groups of students were held at CSU in Spring 2017. The focus groups informed the study of how students' defined the concept of sustainability and the three dimensions of the TBL. Findings from the focus groups indicated the design of the assessment tool did not garner meaningful results. The assessment tool was designed with knowledge-based multiple-choice questions, which did not accurately assess sustainability literacy, according to its definition. Recommendations for redesigning the assessment tool include designing questions that assess students' ability to apply systems-thinking and conduct critical thinking and problem-solving. Sustainability educators should seek to encourage transformational learning when teaching sustainability education. With the recommendations for assessment redesign, the researcher also includes suggestions of unique ways institutions of higher education can assess students' sustainability literacy.

▼ We are experiencing a population explosion of individuals ages 65 and older. Currently, more than 12% of the United States’ population is 65 or older, and as a benchmark, over three-quarters of the current population will reach 65 (in 1870 3% of the population reached 65). In the next 50 years, the older population will double to 80 million or 20% of the total population. It is clear that people are living longer than ever before; many of those in this age group are part of the ‘baby boom’ born in the years 1946 to 1963. Further, over the past century, there has been a demographic shift and by the year 2030, there will be more people over 65 than younger than 18 in the United States. These facts and numbers may lead to a shortage in the number of social workers and other care professionals to provide support and services to this population. Schools of social work nationwide are not graduating the number of social workers anticipated to meet the needs and the demands of the growing adult population. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine what factors are influential for Master of Social Work (MSW) students to choose gerontology and/or work with older adults. Through the use of four focus groups, my goal was to ascertain the following: what influences and factors shape the decisions of MSW students to work with older adults, how “attitudes on aging,” “life experiences,” and education influence their professional focus, and what advice would they give to professionals and educators to encourage (or promote) an interest in aging among their peers. Findings from the study showed that the lack of information, little emphasis on skill development, and practice experience in the curriculum for the social work students prevent many from feeling confident or knowledgeable about this area of practice. The focus group participants shared many insights and suggestions as to how educators and social workers can respond to the demand for more professionals in the field of gerontology. By educating and informing social work students about the value and growing opportunities, more graduating MSW students may consider this a viable career option. With an emerging awareness of the need for more social work professionals in all types of agencies and settings that serve older adults, social work professionals must be knowledgeable about and learn what they can do to contribute to the needs of an aging society and develop the resources and settings for making this contribution happen.

▼ In response to increased diversity in the United States, educational system teachers must be equipped with the skills to teach diverse learners. Multicultural education has been proposed as a framework in which to prepare the educational system and teachers for diversity. A critical component of multicultural education is culturally responsive teaching. "Culturally responsive teaching is defined as using the cultural knowledge, prior experience, frames of reference, and performance styles of ethnically diverse students to make learning encounters more relevant and effective for them" (Gay, 2000, p. 29). The theoretical and conceptual base of the cultural responsive teaching construct has been clearly articulated in literature. However, the developmental process of individual teachers in attaining cultural responsive practices is an area of needed investigation. This research looks to contribute to knowledge of cultural responsive development by examining teachers’ perspectives about development and practice of cultural responsive teaching. I utilized a collective case study approach to explore the phenomena of culturally responsive teaching in an interpretive and constructive method across a group of nine teachers. The culturally responsive practices of nine elementary/middle school teachers were examined in classroom observations and participant interviews. As a collective group common codes, categories, and themes emerged from data analysis of the nine teachers' culturally responsive practices. The collective case analysis revealed common culturally responsive teaching characteristics in teacher pedagogy, development, and mental approaches. Findings indicate that for teachers in this study, (1) culturally responsive teaching development is independent in nature and accrued outside teaching education support networks, (2) there are specific pedagogic practices associated with culturally responsive teaching, and (3) mindsets and thinking patterns of teachers are identifiable. These findings provide implications for the continued understanding and development of culturally responsive practices. There is a continued need for established cultural responsive teacher training that includes the development of cultural awareness, culturally responsive pedagogy, and mental strategies to address the needs of all students. Explicit pedagogical practices are associated with culturally responsive practice and should be developed in teacher preparation programming and on-going professional development. The identified mindsets and thinking patterns of these culturally responsive teachers provide examples of characteristics to be cultivated in aspiring and practicing teachers.

▼ Teaching effectiveness in higher education is challenging. Given the number of stakeholders and the reasons for assessing teaching effectiveness creates additional challenges. Yet when tying teaching effectiveness to successful student learning outcomes and combining those interests to a case study project, the views of faculty, administrators, and students provided insights and contributed to the body of knowledge of faculty members' performance. Through three manuscripts, we explore defining and assessing a teaching effectiveness process in a case study, using Student Evaluations of Teaching instruments to provide feedback on teaching effectiveness, and the role students' written comments may play in course and instructor feedback. From analyzing student course surveys to creating qualitative and quantitative instruments with the input of faculty members, teaching effectiveness must ensure successful student learning outcomes. The journey to define and assess teaching effectiveness in higher education was an arduous one presented through three manuscripts. Each manuscript provides insights for new and established faculty members. The first abstract presents a case study at a Research I: Doctoral
University. Through a research assistantship and partnering with a department challenged to define and assess teaching effectiveness for higher load faculty members, three instruments were developed to determine best practices of effective teachers. The second abstract used quantitative methods and research to assess students' feedback on faculty members' teaching. And the third abstract used qualitative methods to assess themes in written comments from students' evaluation of teaching surveys.

▼ Using the Delphi technique; combining a thorough review of literature, with opinions of experts during three rounds of data collection, this study determined best practices for integrating marketing and sales in organizations. A purposeful, heterogeneous sample of marketing and sales executives, with a minimum of 30 years experience, in seven different industries, with 40 different organizations around the world participated as experts. Organizations that integrate marketing and sales can improve business performance; increase efficiency, effectiveness, customer and employee satisfaction. Eleven best practices for integrating marketing and sales in organizations were determined: communication; clearly defined roles, responsibilities and expectations; performance metrics; a customer focus; strategic planning; organizational knowledge; training and education; shared/aligned rewards; organizational intelligence (i.e. market, competitor, and customer information); lead management; and common technology platforms; resulting in the development of Watson's Integrated Marketing and Sales Best Practices (WIMS BP) model.

▼ Irrespective of the field, all professions are made up of different components that set a standard for the discipline. These components include, but are not limited to, accreditation, examination, licensing, and research. The foundation of these components lies in the standardized esoteric body of knowledge the profession holds. The knowledge base of a profession is created, maintained, and expanded through scholarly research. When individuals have received proper training, the creation and documentation of new information can be conducted in all areas of a profession: education, business, and industry. Training to be a conductor of research is typically acquired through graduate education. The objective of this study was to ascertain perceptions of interior design practitioners concerning the components of a profession as previously listed, their importance to the interior design practitioner and advantage to the profession as a whole. In addition, graduate education and research were the focus to gauge the commitment of interior design to the components of the profession. Questionnaires were mailed to companies meeting study criteria from the "100 Giants 1996'' as listed in Interior Design magazine. A 54 percent return rate was acquired. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, Spearman Rho correlations, and chi-squares. Analysis of the data revealed practitioners perceived an importance and advantage for each of the components of a profession, with the exception of graduate education. Practitioners had stronger perceptions of the importance and advantage of research to the profession and practitioner than they did of the importance and advantage of graduate education. Based on the findings and the review of literature, recommendations such as design firms should encourage and support the components of the profession were made. Additionally, recommendations were made for practitioners, academic programs and educators, graduate students in interior design, and professional organizations.

▼ The purpose of this study was to understand the factors that teenagers consider when granting consent to become an organ donor for the first time. Ninety-seven participants completed a 31-item survey that included areas of knowledge, source of information, personal experience, willingness, and consent. Least square means and Chi-square were used to compare groups (e.g., experimental/control, pre-survey/post-survey) regarding consent. Other variables that were explored included; gender, ethnicity, religion, grade point average, and parent level of education. The intervention consisted of basic information regarding organ donation, a video entitled No Greater Love, and small group discussion regarding various donor/recipient scenarios. Findings indicated that increased knowledge does not always lead to consent, nor does knowing a donor (living or deceased) or someone on the waitlist influence consent among adolescents. The results suggested that teenagers do not have a good understanding of the topic of organ donation nor do they see themselves as living donors. Teens may not fully understand the implications and ramifications of their decision to be a donor when receiving a driver’s permit or license for the first time. This study brought to light factors that teens take into consideration when deciding to become an organ donor.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a nurse manager's level of Positive Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and his or her ability to foster a healthy work environment as perceived by nursing staff. Studies have shown PsyCap to be positively correlated to improved work-related outcomes including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and employee performance, as well as, negatively related to employee stress and anxiety (Avey et al., 2011). ). The literature has cited the central role a nurse manager plays in fostering a healthy work environment, which in turn allows nurses to function at their best and deliver quality care to patients (Leiter & Laschinger; 2006; Manojlovich & Laschinger, 2007; Twigg & McCullough, 2014; Warshawsky & Havens, 2011). This research intended to discover whether a nurse manager with higher levels of PsyCap would be perceived by their staff as a more effective manager and able to foster a healthier work environment. The researcher wanted to validate this relationship to provide scholars and practitioners with new insights into how PsyCap could enable nurse manager effectiveness, as well as, the health of their teams. To examine this relationship, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), a survey instrument measuring individual PsyCap, was administered to 102 nurse managers who supervise departments within a multi-hospital healthcare system. The PCQ data were compared to previously collected organizational survey data measuring the health of the work environment and nurse manager effectiveness as perceived by nursing staff. Three research hypothesis were tested to understand the relationship among nurse manager PsyCap, the health of the work environment and nurse manager ability, leadership, and support of nurses as perceived by nursing staff. Findings from the study indicated there was no statistically significant relationship between a nurse manager's level of PsyCap and the health of the work environment as perceived by nursing staff. Moreover, there was no statistically significant relationship between a nurse manager's level of PsyCap and their ability, leadership and support of nurses as perceived by nursing staff. There was, however, a statistically significant relationship between a nurse manager's level of efficacy and their ability, leadership and support of nurses as perceived by nursing staff. The study offered some alternatives to better understand the relationship between these factors, as well as, develop nurse manager self-efficacy. These included; using other ways to measure nurse manager PsyCap and nurse manager effectiveness, structuring the data collection to account for the time it takes for the cognitive
state of PsyCap to manifest into desired performance and enabling a deeper exploration of the role self-efficacy plays in predicting nurse manager effectiveness. Recommendations for developing nurse manager self-efficacy included structuring activities that enable practice and mastery of the job-related tasks for creating a healthy…

▼ This quantitative study analyzed older adults’ motivations to volunteer in faith-based organizations. Volunteerism among older adults is critical for faith-based organizations and is equally important for older adults themselves. Volunteering provides the needed workforce for faith-based organizations to accomplish their mission and provides meaningful service to older adults who are volunteering. This study explored which motivations to volunteer were most important to older adults in faith-based organizations and studied the relationships between motivation to volunteer and participants’ gender, present volunteer status, age, and work status. The study used a modified edition of a survey developed by Clary and associates called the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI), which identifies six motivations to volunteer (values, understanding, enhancement, social, protective, and career). The survey contains five items for each motivation. An additional five items were added to the original VFI’s 30 items to measure the motivation of continuity (continuing to use professional knowledge and skills). The first section of the survey was the modified VFI and the second part asked for demographic data. There were 395 participants from five different churches in
Colorado and Iowa. Respondents were adults 50 years and older. Sixty-one percent were female and 54% of the participants were presently volunteering in or through their church 8 hours or more a month. Eighty-two percent of the participants were between the ages of 50 and 70. Forty-two percent of the participants were not working. Of those working, 66% were working full-time. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc statistics to determine differences in motivations to volunteer based on gender, volunteer status, age, and work status. The findings suggest the values and understanding motivations were the most important motivations for older adults to volunteer in faith-based organizations and the career motivation was the least important. There were small differences between motivations to volunteer based on gender, volunteer status, age, and work status. For example, the social motivation was more important to men than women, especially men 70 years and older. The implication for faith-based organizations and their volunteer managers is the need to communicate how volunteer activity provides an opportunity to express personal values and increase understanding. Additionally, faith-based organizations need to create specific volunteer management strategies based on the differences in motivation to volunteer by age, gender, volunteer status, and work status.

▼ This explanatory sequential mixed methodology (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011) study considers how Facebook use impacts sojourners' perceived stress and resilience. Forty-one current and retired sojourning "trailing wives"—women who move primarily for their husband's career—located in Anchorage, Alaska, participated in the Phase 1 survey. Phase 1 found support for the predicted negative relationship between perceived stress and Facebook social connectedness, but the predicted positive relationship between Facebook social connectedness and resilience was not significant. Seventeen Phase 2 participants participated in semi-structured interviews, which were then analyzed using the constant comparative method (Strauss & Corbin, 1990), to explore the relationship between Facebook use and resilience further. Interview participants identified Facebook information seeking and social networking activities as particularly helpful in their early sojourn adjustment. Some participants also reported using Facebook and other social media sites (e.g., Instagram) to grow from their sojourn experience by practicing four of the resilience communication processes identified by Buzzanell (2010): drawing upon communication networks, emphasizing identity anchors, fostering optimism, and reframing negative experiences. Implications for practitioners (e.g., sojourners, human resources and mental health professionals) and researchers (across international business and social science disciplines) are also discussed.

▼ Research on stay-at-home dads (SAHDs) has not kept pace with the increase in the trend and is lacking the in-depth description of their lived experience. The purpose of this narrative inquiry was to describe and thereby better understand the lived experience of SAHDs and how they make meaning within the role. Narrative inquiry works to restory the stories of the participants by gathering data, analyzing it, searching for themes, and rewriting it in a sequence that makes sense. In this study, in order to fully examine the lived experience of SAHDs, I encompassed a constructivist paradigm, which allowed for the evolution of the meaning and process. I realize that my participation altered the reality of the experience and that the stories that I present only captured brief moments of time; however, I drew heavily upon my therapeutic and clinical backgrounds to create a warm and compassionate environment which guided the way for an inductive exploration into each dad's lived experience. I primarily used unstructured interviews that focused more on Rogerian therapeutic principles than direct Socratic questioning; however, I maintained boundaries which provided focus, shape, and scope. These unstructured interviews provided the space for the participants to talk freely and openly as I obtained very rich quotations from each dad which I have presented within the narratives. By including these excerpts, often in their entirety, I maintain the integrity of the process, meaning making, and authenticity of each individual story. This narrative inquiry contains the lived experience of four SAHDs, ending with my own account. Each dad's narrative is presented individually, uniquely, and told in its entirety followed by my holistic content analysis which explores the themes of both the inner and outer world of each dad as embodied by his past, present, and possibility of the future. By doing so, this study gave voice to the SAHD experience and opened doors for future research and understanding. The individual and cumulative effects of the narratives have provided avenues for understanding for readers to make their personal meaning of the lived experience of SAHDs. I have also provided recommendations for clinicians who are working with SAHDs or their families. I conclude with my journey through this qualitative inquiry and a brief letter to SAHDs.

▼ Youth who experience academic failure are at a greater risk for evolvement in delinquency. Their perceptions regarding educational experiences could reveal some of their challenges or barriers to academic achievement. The purpose of this research project was to understand how incarcerated male youth perceive their educational experiences, and to understand the prevailing themes and commonalities in their stories. A phenomenological approach was used to describe the participants' educational and lived experiences. One all male juvenile correctional facility in a Southern
state was selected for this case study research. The structure is designed to contain youth who have committed at least three or more felonies and remanded by the courts for treatment. Fifteen incarcerated youth, aged 18, were interviewed and provided knowledge and insight into the research questions. Each was assigned pseudonyms to preserve anonymity. Interviews were conducted face to face, recorded, and then transcribed. The themes that emerged from the interviews include: (1) conflicted interpersonal relationships; (2) educational disconnect; and (3) personal demons, all of which impacted their academic journey. Participants were also asked about their earliest educational outlook, as well as their future outlook, as it relates to short- and long-term goals. Their individual and collective responses painted a picture of the factors that led to their academic challenges, criminal behavior and incarceration. Results for this study indicated that some incarcerated youth make meaning of their educational experiences through a series of complex events, changes and circumstances occurring in their school and personal lives. Some of these relationships were positive iii connections that supported and propelled them forward, while conflicting relationships were damaging and often exposed them to unhealthy environments, substance abuse and criminal elements. Although their experiences varied, it was clear that failure was an ongoing occurrence throughout their academic journey. While for some, the educational disconnect was internal to the school environment; for others, disruptions in their home lives interfered with their ability to maintain regular attendance and remain focused on their studies. Issues with suspensions, expulsion, truancy, retention, academic failure, school violence, poverty and parental neglect seemed pervasive throughout their stories; and some shared feelings of inferiority due to their current academic shortcomings. Participants revealed personal demons that were defined as dark moments in their lives and had a direct or indirect impact on their academic journey. These were traumatic events, unforeseen and unexpected circumstances occurring in their family, school and community lives. They shared information regarding their earliest educational outlook, which for some seemed positive and provided an opportunity to grow academically and personally, while others experienced adversity and negative outcomes early on.

▼ A major barrier to the reform of intercollegiate athletics is its cultural significance in higher education. Major culture change has not occurred and few studies have examined culture within Division I athletic departments (Schroeder, 2010). The specific aim of this study was to understand how the following elements of a collegiate athletic department interact with one another: institutional culture, leadership and power, internal and the external environments. Data collection included 42 interviews; an 8 day on-campus observation period by the researcher of the athletic department; events such as graduation and sporting events; archival data on alumni; the
university website for media guides, financial and academic data; news and social media sites such as Twitter. Analysis of data entailed complete transcription of all interviews and notes, entry into the computer, followed by coding procedures outlined by Strauss and Corbin (1990) and LeCompte and Schensul (1999). A strong partnership between institutional and internal athletic department was based upon mutual objective of student academic achievement. An antiquated mentality toward women in head coaching and leadership roles, a deficit mentality, and economic woes were evident in the culture. These findings may be prevalent in many DI universities attempting to keep up with the few independently funded intercollegiate programs. A multiple case study using Schroeder’s (2010) framework across several DI institutions may support similar findings.

▼ The incidence of premature morbidity and mortality reduces when individuals practice protective health related behaviors (HRBs) such as not smoking cigarettes or marijuana, limiting alcohol consumption, participating in regular physical activity, and consuming five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Research indicates that many college students do not practice multiple protective HRBs, yet most educational interventions are aimed at changing only one HRB. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate college student's co-occurring risk and protective health behaviors in order to provide insight to health educators regarding what HRBs to include in multiple health behavior change (MHBC) interventions and how to tailor and target the interventions based on race, gender, and year in school. This study assessed
Colorado State University (CSU) students' pairs and clustering HRBs by gender, race, and year in school via an analysis of a pre-collected National College Health Assessment (NCHA). The final sample consisted of 928 undergraduate students aged 18-23 years old who were enrolled in one of eight class sections of an elective Health and Wellness class in the spring 2009 semester, who attended class the day the NCHA was administered, and who volunteered to participate. The sample was not representative of the total CSU population when considering major of study, year in school and age, but was representative by gender and race. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was used to explore the relationship between co-occurring HRBs and gender, race, and year in school of students at one point in time. Descriptive statistics revealed that 39% of the students practiced at least three of five risk HRBs. Cluster analysis showed 27 patterns of risk and protective HRBs with 63% of students in five clusters. Regression demonstrated that more females than males were likely to be in three of the five HRB clusters, and upperclassman were less likely to be in two of the five clusters. Phi statistical test showed a significant association between five of the ten HRB pair combinations, and regression demonstrated that more females than males practiced one risk pair and males more than females practiced three risk pairs. The study helps improve the understanding of how health behaviors co-occur in college students and provides college administrators and health educators insights into the behaviors to include in MHBC interventions, how to prioritize interventions, which students to target and how to tailor the interventions. Findings from the study will help plan interventions aimed at preventing clusters and pairs of risk HRBs in college students, which may potentially be more effective, more economical and less demanding for health educators than interventions targeted to single HRBs.

▼ Occupational scientists and occupational therapists believe that people experience time and occupation differently, and that understanding these unique subjective experiences is essential to enhance the understanding of occupational participation, health and well-being. Yet the efforts toward the identification and development of ways of understanding people's unique subjective experiences are limited. In this dissertation, the researcher provides the theoretical underpinning of a newly developing instrument designed to capture the objective and subjective experiences of occupational engagement titled the Daily Experiences of Pleasure, Productivity and Restoration Profile (PPR Profile) (Atler, 2008) and reports the validity evidence of the PPR Profile as examined in two studies. Cognitive interviewing was used in the first study to examine validity evidence based on test content, response processes, and the consequences of completing the instrument. The study provides beginning validity evidence of the PPR Profile's use as an instrument designed to capture the subjective experiences of daily activities. In addition, the study illustrates the benefits of using cognitive interviewing as a means of engaging clients who may potentially use the instrument in the development process. In the second study, validity evidence related to consequential and convergent validity was examined using a mixed method design. Adults living with the consequences of stroke completed three health surveys and the PPR Profile for three days. Use of the PPR Profile increased awareness of daily activities and related experiences. Although there was limited convergent validity evidence gathered in the study, consequential validity evidence indicated that participants' completion of the PPR Profile led to reflection and examination. However awareness was not always seen by participants as beneficial. Potential reasons for the limited convergent validity found are discussed.

▼ The events of the Great Recession (2007-2009) have resulted in high unemployment and underemployment rates in the United States and abroad. The plight of domestic young adults, particularly young men with few work-related skills, is evident. Failing to receive a first job has long-term negative consequences for these individuals and their families. In the United States, job opportunities exist for properly trained individuals in the construction industry, which is currently experiencing a shortage of skilled labor. Recognition of the unemployment situation and job opportunity in new construction, renovation, and maintenance of existing infrastructure has led to the creation of publicly funded construction skills training programs that target young adults (16-24 years). However, despite the great deal of effort and funding, participant retention is a significant problem and dropout rates ranging between 45-65% have been reported. Training practitioners posit that no model exists for predicting performance and attrition of individuals in training and express the desire for a metric that measures individual characteristics to better inform individual training successes. A review of literature revealed no instrument for predicting performance, completion, or attrition of the unemployed in training. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to develop an internally consistent and valid instrument that measures the appropriate constructs to inform and predict human behavior within the domain of construction training for the unemployed. The resulting instrument, the Construction Training Attitudes and Intentions Scale (CTAIS), was developed through two phases. The CTAIS was complete by construction management undergraduate students (N = 247) during phase one. The purpose of phase one was to reduce the number of CTAIS items (N = 98) using inter-item correlations and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). An evaluation of the internal consistency and validity was conducted on the reduced pool of CTAIS items. Phase one resulted in a 44-items CTAIS, which contain four emergent factors: planned training behavior (PTB), construction training self-efficacy (CTSE), training motivation attitudes (TMA), and training locus of control (TLOC). The CTAIS and its factors PTB, CTSE, TMA, and TLOC were found to be internally consistent (α = 0.926, 0.943, 0.942, 0.941, and 0.829, respectively). Face and convergent construct validity were shown through significant (p < 0.01) correlations between the emergent factors that mirrored those found in previous construct validation research. The 44-item CTAIS was administered during phase two to a separate group of undergraduate construction management students (N = 174). The internal consistency of the 44-item CTAIS (α = 0.902) and PTB, CTSE, TMA, and TLOC factors (α = 0.909, 0.950, 0.925, and 0.832, respectively) were confirmed in phase two. Significant (p < 0.01) correlations between the emergent factors mirrored those found in phase one and previous construct validation research, providing…

What current and limited literature exists about the intergenerational dyad exclusively addresses the issues of generational workplace differences between the younger supervisor and the older subordinate from the perspective of the older subordinate rather than from the perspective of the younger supervisor. Through a qualitative study combining aspects of phenomenology and narrative inquiry, data were collected from 19 professionals in the field of student affairs in higher education who supervised at least one full-time, professional staff member who was ten or more years older than they. In April and May of 2012, one-hour telephone interviews were conducted with each participant. From transcriptions, narratives were developed to illustrate each participant's experiences. Based on the findings of this research, the following conclusions can be made about the younger supervisor and the intergenerational dyad: Age is more apparent to younger supervisors when they are younger than their professional peers than when they are younger than their subordinates; Age is more apparent to younger supervisors when they have a magnified title than when they are younger than their subordinates; Younger supervisors find mentorship in their older subordinates; and Younger supervisors who are women noted having more negative experiences supervising subordinates who are older than they are than younger supervisors who are men. Generational differences in the intergenerational dyad and the role of gender in the intergenerational dyad were also examined and analyzed. The findings of this study suggest implications for leaders in the field of higher education as well as any organization where the intergenerational dyad exists: training for supervisors, creating a culture of support for younger supervisors, and creating a culture of inclusion for younger supervisors. Additional research is recommended to explore: gender differences in the intergenerational dyad, industry differences in the intergenerational dyad, and work/life balance issues that affect the intergenerational dyad.

▼ This action research study focuses on the impacts of an Intercultural Exploration project on 52 preservice teachers enrolled in sections of Schooling in the United States course at
Colorado State University in the School of Education. Goals of the course include the intention that students will exhibit increased multicultural awareness and cross-cultural competence as applied to school settings. To inform the study, a review of the literature on multicultural education, intercultural theory, and transformational learning was conducted. The Intercultural Exploration project provided students the opportunity to explore their biases and areas where they lacked understanding of cultural groups, beliefs, and practices. Students spent four hours in a formal or informal setting focusing on one of their biases or lack of understanding. Students wrote essays to describe why they choose their projects, their feelings before and after the experience, how they developed their beliefs and how the project may impact their future personal and professional behaviors. A five level Transformational Rating was developed to assess student transformation based on reported beliefs before and after the project and predicted future personal and professional behaviors. Using the Transformational Rating Students rated their experience and the instructor/researcher rated each experience based on essay responses. The average rating by the instructor/researcher was 3.71 and the average rating by the students was 3.16, indicating that there was a transformation in at least two areas: beliefs, predictions of personal behavior, and professional behavior. Projects were themed by the instructor/researcher as religion (16), behavior (10), mental/physical status (8), socioeconomic status (5), social groups/organizations (3), sexual orientation (3), careers (3), current issues (2), and ethnicity/culture (2). Reasons students chose their projects were because they wanted to explore their own bias (27) or saw opportunities to learn/understand other perspectives (24). Students reported that their beliefs prior to the project were developed due to upbringing (18), media (11), negative experiences (8) and other (6). As a final step, students presented their projects and were asked to discuss the impacts of presenting to and listening to their peers. Following presentations, students said they felt the impact of sharing the Intercultural Exploration though uncomfortable at times, helped them to further understand and articulate their beliefs, while others felt it was an opportunity for their peers to get to know them better. After listening to their peers present, students expressed they enjoyed listening to the variety of presentations. Students also said they learned from their peers and developed a greater awareness of intercultural issues. Students noted they felt a close connection to their peers and some were surprised at the number of religious focused projects. The majority of students was positively impacted by the Intercultural Exploration and…

▼ From the early twentieth century to the present, citizen participation in U.S. public institutions – particularly schools – has continually decreased. The trend has been linked to the bureaucratization of public schools and their increasing reliance on expert knowledge for solutions to school- and education-related problems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a parent training program designed to increase a school district's capacity for public participation. The program – known as Leadership St. Vrain – provided citizens knowledge about school district operations and management (know-how) and relationship-building opportunities with key decision makers (know-who). The mixed-methods study was designed to include two original survey instruments, follow-up interviews, and archival documents to evaluate the effect of the training on participants. Participants reported strong growth in domains for knowledge, relationship, willingness, efficacy, and action. Follow-up interviews with training participants and parents who served as school Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) presidents, as well as an analysis of archival documents indicated a secondary ripple-effect among PTO members who did not take the training, as well as with other citizens and the larger community.

▼ This study describes the processes and forms of college students' learning resulting from a non-credit-bearing, two week alternative break program to Kenya that took place December 2012 - January 2013. It is necessary to understand students' learning on short-term education abroad programs because of three national trends: 1) growing study abroad offerings of eight weeks or less, 2) increased popularity of programs to non-traditional locations, and 3) desire among universities, employers, and legislators to create globally engaged graduates. This exploratory study uses interviews, focus groups, and participant observation in an ethnographic case study design. Fourteen students, two group leaders, eight host community members, and the researcher participated in the study. Mezirow's transformative learning theory provides the theoretical lens through which research questions, observations, and conclusions are formulated and drawn. Research is presented in three journal articles bracketed by an introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter describes the research purpose, questions, significance, theoretical perspective, delimitations, and the researcher's perspective. Chapter two seeks to uncover how students learn. Findings discuss five processes of student transformative learning, namely 1) learning as a journey, 2) experiencing discomfort, 3) reflecting and relating to one another, 4) building relationships with the community, and 5) receiving support from group leaders. Chapter three examines the forms, or outcomes, of student learning. It demonstrates that affective, behavioral, and cognitive forms of learning are possible and offers guidelines for practitioners who lead and administer short-term education abroad programs. It also explores students' reentry challenges. Chapter four recounts in-depth stories of two students as they recall the multiple ways the 2011-2012 program to Kenya impacted their actions, thoughts, and emotions and how it prompted them to return one year later. It pays particular attention to the ways students engaged in reflection and reframing. The final chapter provides linkage among chapters and results for the study as a whole. This study concludes that dialog, reflection, individualization of experiences, and relationship-building are essential to students' learning during and after an international experience.

▼ Caregivers who provide services to trauma survivors are at high risk of developing secondary traumatic stress and burnout. Researchers and practitioners in the field of traumatology emphasize the role organizational culture has on individuals who provide services to trauma survivor's well-being. Although there is a considerable amount of theoretical literature on organizational culture and its effects on trauma-workers' well-being, there is a lack of empirical research. The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify what organizational characteristics influence trauma caregivers' compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction and to construct and provide validation for a measure of the role organizational culture has on caregivers. The measure is entitled the Trauma-Informed Organization Culture (TIOC) Survey. This study used data from a sample of 282 individuals who provide services to survivors of trauma including 67 animal control officers, 102 child, youth, and family service workers, and 113 individuals who work with the homeless. This research supports the literature and found several significant relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Organizational support and trauma-informed caregiver development were found to be strong predictor variables for burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Practical implications are provided addressing the roles that organizational support, supervisory support, peer support, and trauma-informed caregiver development have in the implementation of a trauma-informed system of care.
