Este trabalho analisa – sob a forma de um estudo de caso de natureza exploratória – o problema da relação entre a função controladoria e o controle social. Na administração pública, a controladoria é a função responsável pela interface com a população, e a obrigatoriedade de garantir transparência e accountability pressiona a produção de informações confiáveis e tempestivas da parte dos gestores públicos. A escolha da Rede Observatório Social do Brasil (OSB) para um estudo de caso se justifica por ser esta uma organização dedicada a monitorar as administrações públicas municipais, utilizando sistematicamente informações divulgadas em portais de transparência. A rede OSB está presente em mais de uma centena de municípios localizados em dezenove estados brasileiros. O estudo de caso buscou avaliar as dimensões em que o exercício das atividades desempenhadas pelos Observatórios Sociais pode ter correspondência com funções típicas das controladorias. Primeiramente, fez-se uma revisão da literatura, para desmembrar a atividade de controladoria num conjunto de funções típicas do setor público. Os fatores críticos da eficiência, eficácia e efetividade do controle social foram resgatados das pesquisas de diagnóstico do Orçamento Participativo (OP), a ferramenta de participação com a mais longa trajetória no âmbito da gestão municipal. Em seguida, partiu-se para a identificação, por meio de entrevistas e levantamento, daquelas funções que, da perspectiva de atores selecionados da Rede OSB, corroboram o controle social. Os resultados apontam que todas as funções típicas de controladoria são relevantes para o controle social com maior destaque para aquelas relacionadas aos controles prévio e concomitante, dado o carácter preventivo da atuação da Rede OSB. Tal constatação serve de alerta e demonstra necessidade de revisão do retrato observado nos órgãos de controle interno pesquisados, os quais concentram sua atuação nas atividades de controle subsequente.

This paper analyzes - in the form of an exploratory case study - the problem of the relationship between the controllership function and social control. In government administration, controllership is the function responsible for the interface with the population, and the obligation to guarantee transparency and accountability pressure the production of reliable and timely information on the part of government managers. We have selected the Rede Observatório Social do Brasil (OSB) for this case study because it is an organization dedicated to monitoring municipal public administrations, systematically using information disclosed in transparency portals. The OSB network is present in more than one hundred cities located in nineteen Brazilian states. The case study sought to evaluate the dimensions in which the exercise of the activities developed by the Observatórios Sociais can correspond to typical functions of the controllers. First, a review of the literature was carried out to dismantle the control activity in a set of functions typical of the government sector. The…

▼ O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é caracterizado por complexas relações intergovernamentais que têm garantido avanços paulatinos na resolução de problemas quanto à prestação de serviços públicos de saúde à população. Enquanto política setorial de governo, o SUS é influenciado pelos esforços recentes de disseminação e prática dos princípios da administração pública gerencial, cujo foco é uma gestão voltada para resultados e o eficiente uso dos recursos. Nesse contexto, a avaliação de desempenho ganha destaque, todavia, a determinação de parâmetros de avaliação pela Controladoria na Gestão Pública não tem sido uma tarefa simples, pois o tipo de controle aplicável às atividades do setor público depende de quatro complexos critérios: ambigüidade dos objetivos, mensuração dos outputs, conhecimento do efeito das intervenções e repetição das atividades. Uma alternativa para contornar as dificuldades da avaliação de desempenho é a sua realização por benchmark. Neste sentido, este estudo teve por objetivo levantar, medir e explicar as variações de desempenho dos Municípios Paulistas quanto à eficiência econômica na aplicação de recursos públicos nas ações de atenção básica à saúde em função do perfil de financiamento dos gastos gerais e específicos de tal área. A eficiência econômica reflete a capacidade de uma entidade obter máximos outputs ao menor custo e foi medida com o uso da metodologia Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA): técnica de otimização baseada em programação linear e projetada para estabelecer medida de eficiência relativa entre diferentes unidades tomadoras de decisão. Por sua vez, a eficiência econômica, parâmetro de avaliação de desempenho do setor público, é influenciada pela forma como os políticos e burocratas lidam com as restrições orçamentárias. A literatura sobre o federalismo prevê que as transferências nãocondicionais e sem contrapartida provocam gasto público com desperdício, ocasionado pelo processo de ilusão fiscal, de redução do poder de barganha e/ou de flexibilização orçamentária. No primeiro estágio do modelo DEA, foram calculados os escores de eficiência com base na despesa liquidada em atenção básica e a quantidade de outputs diretos produzidos em tal subfunção. Os resultados indicaram que somente 17 dos 599 Municípios Paulistas sob análise foram considerados eficientes e que era possível aumentar, consideravelmente, a quantidade de serviços prestados à população sem a necessidade de novas dotações orçamentárias. No segundo estágio do modelo DEA, verificou-se que a maior proporção de idosos em uma jurisdição torna a prestação de serviços mais cara, por sua vez, maiores densidade populacional, grau de urbanização e escala dos estabelecimentos de saúde favorecem o gasto público com eficiência. Estas quatro variáveis não estão sob o controle do gestor público, portanto, os escores de eficiência foram ajustados para refletir o desempenho resultante do seu poder discricionário. A partir dos escores de eficiência ajustados e por meio da análise de regressão, constatou-se que as transferências… Advisors/Committee Members: Favero, Luiz Paulo Lopes, Martins, Gilberto de Andrade.

Zaradi gospodarske krize, ki je prizadela tako javni kot zasebni sektor, namenjajo organizacije vedno večji poudarek doseganju načrtovane prodaje, novim produktom, s katerimi bi uspešno nastopile na tržišču, in spremljanju stroškov, ki pri tem nastajajo. Organizacije so se znašle pred veliko preizkušnjo, zato so se, da bi preživele, primorane vse bolj prilagajati spremembam na trgu, se spreminjati, iskati rezerve, zniževati stroške in preudarno gospodariti. Vprašanja, ki še pred nekaj leti niso imela velikega pomena, imajo v današnjem času poglaviten pomen. Pomembna vprašanja, ki se organizacijam postavljajo, so, kako zajeziti stroške, kje privarčevati in kako najbolje poslovati. Pri proučevanju priložnosti in prednosti ter slabosti in nevarnosti ima velik pomen služba za kontroling, ki je nekakšen poslovni navigator in vodstvo organizacij opozarja in usmerja k pravim ciljem. Da bi organizacije prišle do želenih zastavljenih ciljev in rezultatov, morajo vse službe in oddelki v organizaciji strmeti k doseganju istih ciljev, potrebno je usklajeno in istosmerno delovanje. Velik pomen pri zniževanju stroškov ima nabavna služba, ki preskrbuje blago in storitve za nemoteno delovanje organizacije. Preko nabavne službe lahko organizacije zaradi velikega obsega naročil veliko privarčujejo, zato organizacije nabavno službo vse bolj opredeljujejo kot strateško funkcijo. Naloge nabavne službe so, da priskrbi pravo blago ali storitev, v pravi kakovosti ob pravem času in ob tem doseže najboljše nabavne pogoje. Vsak privarčevani evro v nabavi predstavlja za nepridobitne organizacije tudi evro prihodka nad odhodki in večje koristi. Cilj nabavne verige je zniževati neposredne stroške materiala in s tem povečati prihodke nad odhodki. To lahko doseže z iskanjem novih dobaviteljev, novih nadomestnih materialov, s pritiski na trenutne dobavitelje in s povečano konkurenčnostjo. Za uspešno poslovanje organizacije poskrbi kontroling, ki budno spremlja vse nastale spremembe v organizaciji, o tem pravočasno opozarja vodstvo, mu svetuje in pomaga pri pravilnih odločitvah.

Due to the economic crisis that hit public and private sectors, organisations are focusing more and more on achieving planed sales, developing new products to ensure a successful business and monitoring new expenses. Organizations now stand at a crossroads. To ensure their survival they are forced to adapt more and more to the market demands, to change, to find reserves, lower their expenses and to manage themselves accordingly. Those questions, only a few years ago completely irrelevant, are of vital importance today. Such questions are, how to minimize expenses, where to save money and how to do business at the best of their abilities. When studying pros and opportunities and cons and dangers we can’t emphasize the importance of controllership , which serves as a guide that navigates the organisations and their management in the right direction. To achieve the planed results and goals every department must strive to a common goal forcing them in to a combined and…

▼ Hispanics are one of the fastest growing ethnic minority populations in the United States with Mexicans and Mexican Americans representing the largest portion of this population. Concerns about cultural competence thrust acculturation and acculturative stress into the discussion of unique cultural experiences that may affect the functioning of Mexican and Mexican American families. However, the differences in family role expectations and the social capital of family members have not been discussed despite their potential relationship to acculturative stress. Prior to examining bivariate and multivariate relationships regarding these variables, the English version of the Personal Social Capital Scale was validated. The 9-item Personal Social Capital Scale (α=.85) and bonding (α=.83) and bridging subscales (α=.85) demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability. This version of the Personal Social Capital Scale also demonstrated appropriate model fit after allowing several error terms to correlate producing the following fit indices: χ2/df=2.18 (χ2=50.1, df=23), RMSEA=.06, CFI=.98, IFI=.98, RFI=.94, TLI=.97, and NFI=.96. The construct validity of the scale produced mixed results. The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r=-.441, pr=.17, pr=.20, p The bivariate relationships tested did not reveal any significant findings, as acculturation was not a significantly significant predictor of parental (β=-.02, p=.71) or marital reward value (β=-.03, p=.61) or parental (β=-.04, p=.48) and marital commitment (β=-.05, p=.35). Additionally, acculturation was not a statistically significant predictor of social capital for either the linear (β=-.03, p=.61) or the curvilinear model (β=-.03, p=.61), and all bivariate tests indicated that acculturation accounted for a minute portion of variance for all dependent variables. The final part of this study tested several multivariate relationships to identify predictors of acculturative stress. Acculturation, family role expectations, and social capital were entered into a six-step hierarchical regression model to identify predictors of acculturative stress. The final step of the hierarchical regression model accounted for 16% (R2=.16). An alternative step of the final model entering bonding and bridging social capital as separate variables increased the amount of variance explained (R2=.20). In the alternative model, the demographic variables age (β=.13, p=.04), lower income status (β=.20, pp=.03) were statistically significant predictors of acculturative stress with all demographic variables accounting for approximately 8% of the variable's variances. Of the primary variables of interest, only marital commitment (β=.13, p=.06), bonding social capital (β=-.22, pp=.23) met criteria for entry into the model, but only bonding social capital was a statistically significant predictor of acculturative stress. The creation and entry of the interaction term between acculturation and marital reward value (β=.84, pp=.02; marital reward value β=-.64, p=.02), which became statistically significant… Advisors/Committee Members: Martell Teasley (professor directing dissertation), Joseph Hellweg (university representative), Neil Abell (committee member).

▼ This study explored the phenomenon of occupationally related stress exposures and stress reactions in the emergency medical services. While the emergency services are nearly ubiquitous in the United States, very little exploration has been done into the prevalence and sequelae of occupationally related stresses to which emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are exposed as part of their work. This study, based on the Stress Process Model (Pearlin, 1989) explored the impact of both chronic and critical incident stress. Chronic stressors are defined as persistent difficulties (e.g., insufficient salary, conflict with colleagues or supervisors). Critical incident stress relates primarily to the provision of patient care in emergencies and the emotional reactions caused by the exposure to gruesome or tragic circumstances. Posttraumatic stress symptomatology and alcohol use are identified as potential sequelae of exposure to occupational stress. Six hypotheses are presented to elucidate the relationship between the variables and to guide the research process. The overall aim of this study was to improve upon previous research efforts by exploring how different types of occupational stress may relate to different possible stress reactions. By gaining a detailed view into how different types of stress exposures may influence stress reactions in EMTs, more insight was gained into what factors may influence pathological outcomes. In order to assess the relationship between occupationally related stress exposures and stress reactions, this study used a combination of previously validated measures (PTSD, alcohol use) and stress measures adapted for this research effort. Following the tailored design method (Dillman, 2009), data were collected from a probability sample (N=1633) of nationally registered EMTs and paramedics utilizing an internet-based survey methodology. Data were examined using both bivariate and multivariate analytic approaches. The findings revealed that in this population, a lower rate of posttraumatic stress symptomatology in this sample than in previous research or in population-based samples. Rates of risky and hazardous alcohol use in this sample were comparable with previous research for the general population. Multivariate findings indicated that chronic stress, critical incident stress, and alcohol use contribute to posttraumatic stress symptomatology. Interactions between chronic stress and alcohol use as well as chronic stress and critical incident stress further improved the explanatory power of the model. Regression of alcohol use on the predictor variables illustrated a relationship between alcohol use and chronic stress as well as alcohol use and posttraumatic stress symptomatology. Critical incident stress did not retain a significant relationship with alcohol use when controlling for posttraumatic stress symptomatology. The findings advanced knowledge regarding the relationship between occupational stress exposure and stress reactions in EMTs in several ways. This study placed the phenomenon of… Advisors/Committee Members: Jim Hinterlong (professor directing dissertation), R. Jay Turner (university representative), Nick Mazza (committee member).

▼ Sexual violence is a major issue among students in college. In the past 20 years, researchers have made great strides contributing to the knowledge base of sexual violence and have begun discussing the myriad of outcomes and associations seen in victims/survivors of sexual violence. The present study, guided by stress and coping theory (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), adds to the growing body of research attempting to understand the scope of sexual violence in higher education by looking at sexual violence broadly and in a more nuanced way. Further, the present study examined the relationships among specific high-risk behaviors (heavy drinking, purging, suicide attempts, and deliberate self-injury) in a large, national sample of U.S. college men and women who have experienced different types of sexual violence (sexually touched without consent, attempted sexual penetration without consent, and sexual penetration without consent) in the last 12 months. Additionally, the study explored whether sexual violence has a differential impact on male and female college students. Further, acknowledging the history of rape in the U.S. as intertwined with the oppression of black individuals, this study explored the role of race in the associations between sexual violence and high-risk behaviors. A secondary analysis of National College Health Assessment data collected annually from 2011 to 2014, resulted in sample of 96,977 male and female college students. Four research questions (resulting in 32 hypotheses) were examined. A series of analyses (independent samples t-test, ANOVAs, and logistical regression) were conducted to test the hypotheses. The results suggested that students in this sample who reported experiencing broad sexual violence were more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors (i.e., heavy drinking, purging, attempted suicide, and deliberate self-injury) when compared to those who did not report experiencing sexual violence, supporting all related hypotheses. Further, as the degree of sexual violence increased, so did the odds of engaging in three of the four high-risk behaviors (purging, attempted suicide, and deliberate self-injury). The effect of gender was examined to determine whether men and women who experienced sexual violence had similar behavioral associations. It was hypothesized that being male would moderate the relationship between sexual violence and each high-risk behavior. These hypotheses were largely unsupported; however, there were a few instances where the more nuanced definition of sexual violence provided insight into male and female differences. Men who experienced sexual violence were more likely to engage in purging behaviors, and men who experienced severe sexual violence were more likely to engage in suicide attempts. Finally, the effect of race was examined to determine whether black individuals who experienced sexual violence were more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors than white individuals and other racial minorities. It was hypothesized that identifying as black would moderate the… Advisors/Committee Members: Tomi Gomory (professor directing dissertation), Pamela K. Keel (university representative), Dina J.

Framed in social exchange theory, the purpose of this study was to investigate differences in relationship factors between virgins and non-virgins who are currently in romantic relationships. Data from 134 participants, 67 virgins matched with 67 non-virgins, were analyzed to determine differences in couple conflict level and management, communication, and relationship satisfaction. Results from a series of analyses of variance indicated that virgins and non-virgins differed only on 3 of 13 relationship constructs: psychological aggression, argumentativeness, and constructive communication. Specifically, non-virgins reported higher levels of psychological aggression and more arguments than did virgins, whereas virgins reported using more constructive communication than did non-virgins. In general, correlations between indicators of conflict and communication with relationship satisfaction were in the expected direction, with higher levels of communication and lower levels of conflict being associated with higher levels of relationship satisfaction. Testing the differences between correlations among conflict, communication, and satisfaction revealed four differences—a stronger correlation between physical assault and both relationship fulfillment and happiness, negativity and relationship contentment, and constructive communication and relationship contentment for the virgins compared with non-virgins. Limitations and implications are discussed, focusing on the need for continued research that explores the effect of virginity status on relationship factors.

▼ People receiving residential mental health treatment are legally entitled to exercise their rights and freedoms to the extent that is safe and that does not interfere with recovery (Americans with Disabilities Act, 1990; Ford, Rosenberg, Holsten, & Boudreaux, 2003). Despite this, sexual activity in residential treatment settings is often prohibited through both formal and informal means (Buckley, Hogan, Svendsen, & Gintoli, 2013; Wright, McCabe, & Kooreman, 2012). One barrier to lessening restrictions on the sexual liberties of residential clients is the lack of guidelines for determining the capacity to consent to sexual activity (Buckley & Wiechers, 1999; Parker & Abramson, 1995). Providing guidelines for assessing the capacity to consent could provide opportunities for some clients to engage in dignified sexual expression and could help practitioners to identify others who may not be capable of making safe sexual decisions. In a preliminary step toward the creation of such guidelines, this qualitative study explores how administrators, staff, and former clients of residential facilities define and conceptualize the capacity to consent to sex. These stakeholder-endorsed definitions might later serve as frameworks from which guidelines and methods of assessment could be developed. This study also explores factors identified by administrators, workers, and former clients of residential facilities as impacting the capacity to consent, as they define it. This is another important preliminary step toward creating best practices for determining the capacity for sexual consent among clients of residential mental health programs. Nonprobability sampling was used to recruit 15 participants, 5 from each stakeholder group: administrators, staff people, and former clients. An in-person, semi-structured interview with each participant was conducted. Interviews averaged 69 minutes and elicited information about how participants define and conceptualize the capacity to consent to sexual activity as well as the factors perceived to enhance or reduce that capacity. Analysis of interview data used a hierarchical coding process based on Strauss and Corbin's (1990) constant comparative method and Scott's (2004) conditional relationship guide. To enhance the rigor of analysis, a variety of reflexive writing practices were used, and researcher analysis was shared with participants, who were invited to provide statements about where the analysis diverged from their opinions and experiences. The common themes observed in participant definitions of capacity for sexual consent were that capacity for consent includes the ability to give and receive communication about consent, that capacity for consent includes an understanding of contextual information about the sexual encounter, and that capacity for consent includes an understanding of one's own internal desires. Factors identified by stakeholders as affecting residential clients' capacity for sexual consent were intelligence or sexual knowledge, intoxication, confusion, delusions,… Advisors/Committee Members: Tomi Gomory (professor directing dissertation), Amy M.

▼ Obesity and associated chronic conditions are endemic among the American population with rates disproportionately high among ethnic minorities and the economically disadvantaged. If current trends continue, every adult in the United States will be considered obese by the year 2030. Not only do overweight and obesity pose significant physical health risks, persons of overweight and obese status often encounter forms of bias, including stigma and appearance discrimination and are subject to negative myths and stereotyping. The causes of obesity are complex, and include biological, behavioral, and environmental factors. Historically, cultural and social mores have considered overweight and obese individuals the victims of faulty decision-making, impulsive behaviors, or flawed psychosocial development. However, obesogenic environments, or the physical settings that promote population-level obesity by encouraging increased food intake of non-healthful foods and physical inactivity are ubiquitous in the United States. The pervasive nature of obesogenic environments in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that nearly seven out of every ten Americans are overweight. In fact, for most people, it is difficult NOT to become overweight. Minority, poor, and otherwise under-resourced communities share a disproportionate burden of obesogenic environments, including the phenomenon of food desserts, or areas with severely limited proximal or financial access to healthy foods. For example, fast-food restaurants tend to be more heavily concentrated in lower-income and minority neighborhoods than in high-income and predominantly White neighborhoods, and the availability of supermarkets in predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods is lower than in predominantly White neighborhoods. This research study examines environmental sprawl, one facet related to obesogenic environments. Sprawl is a comprehensive measure of an area's accessibility and has been shown to have significant associations with overweight and obesity. The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of sprawl and energy intake on BMI while assessing the impact of demographic factors. The methods included traditional measures of association and correlation to describe the relationship between sprawl and BMI, as well linear regression methods to estimate the hypothesized predictive effect of sprawl score on BMI score and fruit and vegetable consumption. The sample consisted of adults living in the US who participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey and also resided in areas for which sprawl scores were calculated (n= 122,265). A total of 63% of respondents in the sample were overweight or obese, consistent with the current U.S. trends indicating a shift in the population weight distribution towards higher weight categories. Significant differences in BMI scores were noted based on education level, race, income, marital status, and sex, with minorities, and those with lower education and income levels having higher BMI scores and… Advisors/Committee Members: Melissa Radey (professor directing dissertation), LaTonya Noel (professor co-directing dissertation), Lisa Jordan (university representative).

▼ Intimate partner violence (IPV) is estimated to affect over 1.3 million women a year and costs society more than 5.8 billion annually (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003). Extensive evidence indicates that men and women perpetrate IPV at similar rates (Fiebert, 2010) and a large portion of IPV involves perpetration by both partners in a couple unit (Kessler, Molnar, Feurer, & Appelbaum, 2001). These findings have created a contentious debate among researchers about the nature of IPV and utility of gender in understanding its dynamics. Family conflict theorists contend that IPV is used as an outgrowth of conflict and that societal and family characteristics explain the high rates of IPV perpetration for men and women (Fiebert & Gonzalez, 1997, Straus, 2010). Meanwhile, feminist theorists focus on the role that control plays in understanding violence and how control intersects with gender to create a culture of terror (Stark, 2007) and contend that methodological issues account for the high prevalence of gender symmetry (Kelly & Johnson, 2008). A typology of IPV, which assumes that violence is not used in intimate relationships for one static reason, asserts that there are different categories of IPV that occur within intimate partner relationships and failure to specify the category of IPV being explored has led to confusing and uninterpretable empirical findings regarding the rates of IPV and gender (Kelly & Johnson, 2008). The purpose of this research was to bridge these theories by advancing the typology of IPV perspective using a gender and racially robust sample and identifying the correlates and consequences of each category. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is estimated to affect over 1.3 million women a year and costs society more than 5.8 billion annually (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003).

This study offers a useful step toward conceptualizing and understanding control-motivated IPV as a device to control partners within specific motivating and facilitating contexts. The research literature suggests that desire for control increases perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, that attitudes supporting male dominance and backlash are associated with IPV against women, and that women's status in communities is associated with men's IPV perpetration risk. Recent literature argues that the interpersonal context of coercive control from the victim's perspective is central to understanding IPV. Yet, there are substantial gaps in the literature on how the contextual status of women facilitates IPV and how context might relate to men's attitudes and desire for control. The literature lacks theory to explain how women's contexts influence men to seek control over women and how differences in women's contexts might influence IPV perpetration. To explore these gaps in the knowledge base, this study examines the utility of a multidimensional conceptualization of the macro context of women's controllability in explaining IPV perpetration against women. This study examines how the macro context of women's controllability influences men's control-seeking; the mediating effect of men's attitudes of male dominance and backlash on the relationship between macro context of women's controllability and men's control-seeking; and the effect of macro context of women's controllability on the relationship between men's control-seeking and men's IPV perpetration. Multi-level analyses were conducted linking existing data about the macro context women's controllability in counties to data from 2,920 male undergraduate college students from a state-funded University in Florida. The college student data includes information on psychological and physical IPV perpetration, control-seeking and IPV attributions, and attitudes about male dominance and backlash. Results indicate that control-seeking mediates the relationship between the macro context of women's controllability and IPV. In addition, macro contexts of women's controllability influence men's control-seeking over and above the effects of attitudes supporting male dominance or backlash. Men from counties where women overall had greater controllability were on average more control-seeking. When women had greater power in counties, men were less likely to perpetrate psychological abuse, after taking into account control-seeking. Men with higher levels of control-seeking who were from counties where women shared greater power and independence tended to be less likely to perpetrate physical IPV. The results are promising and underscore the need for further research into macro contextual influences with additional individual level data collected as well as more refined community context delineations. The results are also hopeful for IPV prevention science, especially for community level prevention efforts

▼ Florida Self-Directed Care (FloridaSDC) is a state-funded mental health services program for adults diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), who rely upon public assistance to access mental health services. Self-directed care (SDC) is a relatively new approach to service delivery in the mental health arena. Modeled after the Cash and Counseling program for individuals with disabilities, SDC differs from traditional community-based mental health services in its "money follows the person" approach. Individuals enrolled in SDC programs control the public dollars allotted for their care, making decisions regarding the types of services and service providers they feel will best assist them in achieving their self-identified recovery goals. Research regarding SDC is limited, particularly with respect to participants and their goals for program success. FloridaSDC presents a unique research opportunity in that it is currently the largest and most established SDC program in the United States. The purpose of this exploratory study is to provide a more holistic, in-depth understanding of FloridaSDC participants than is currently available in the existing literature. This study examines participants' demographic characteristics and mental health, physical health, and substance use histories, as well as their recovery goals, service choices, and outcomes, including goal achievement. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from the clinical and fiscal records of a purposive sample (n=80) of the FloridaSDC participants (N=264) served during the 2009-2010 fiscal year and still enrolled in the program at the time of this study. The majority of study participants were female (n=49, 61.3%), white (n=61, 76.3%), divorced (n=37, 46.3%) or single (n=34, 42.5%), living alone (n=42, 52.5%), and diagnosed with a mood disorder (n=54, 67.5%). Participants ranged in age from 29 to 70, with a mean age of 51.4 years (SD=9.07). With respect to educational level, 26 (32.5%) participants held a high school diploma, and 21 (26.3%) completed some college. The majority of participants (n=67, 83.8%) reported having an employment history, although 48 (60.0%) were disabled (as opposed to being employed) during the study period. Study participants' had a mean annual family income of 10, 260 (SD=4,842). A total of 64 (80%) individuals received psychiatric disability income. Key findings suggest that poverty is a major barrier to recovery for FloridaSDC participants, who spent the bulk of their allotted budgets on goods and services to meet their basic needs and maintain independent living. This study also identified an inverse relationship between the severity of participants' symptomology and functioning and their total expenditures, suggesting that those who are the most troubled may be the least likely to make use of FloridaSDC funds to access desired services. Finally, the highly personalized nature of participants' self-reported recovery goals and the degree of consistency between participants' service expenditures and… Advisors/Committee Members: Tomi Gomory (professor directing dissertation), Ann Mullis (university representative), Nicholas F.

Haslam's (2003) folk psychiatry model asserts that laypersons use three modes of thought (explanatory modes) in explaining the behavior of individuals identified as having mental illness: moralizing, which attributes a reason (motive) - and therefore personal responsibility - for behavior; medicalizing, which attributes behavior to a biological essence outside of the individual's control; and psychologizing, which attributes a reason (motive) for behavior but also offers a cause for the reason itself, thus attenuating personal responsibility. The present research hypothesizes that 1) laypersons (mental health nonprofessionals) will have more stigmatizing reactions to a vignette protagonist who exhibits behavior characteristic of the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis Schizophrenia, compared to a protagonist who exhibits no such behavior; 2) the effect of including in the vignette information on the protagonist's adverse childhood experiences will be moderated such that it has a more stigma-reducing effect in the presence of schizophrenia symptoms that in its absence, and 3) this moderation will in turn be mediated by increases in psychologizing and decreases in medicalizing and moralizing. The design is a 2 x 2 between-participants factorial experiment with symptomatic content (schizophrenia symptoms vs. no symptoms) and childhood experiences (adverse vs. benign) as independent variables. The stigma outcome variables are likability (Scale of General Likability; Anson, in preparation) and perceptions of dangerousness (Attribution Questionnaire (AQ), Fear/Dangerousness Subscale; Brown, 2008). The explanatory modes are measured by the Medicalizing-Moralizing-Psychologizing Coding System (MMPCS), which is introduced in the present study. Results show that schizophrenia symptoms increased perceptions of dangerousness and medicalizing, and reduced moralizing. Adverse childhood experiences increased perceptions of dangerousness and psychologizing, and reduced medicalizing. The predicted moderation effect did not reach significance. The predicted mediation effects were not observed. Findings suggest that efforts to reduce mental illness stigma by providing information about adverse childhood experiences may have the ironic effect of increasing fear and perceptions of dangerousness. Additional implications are discussed and a program of future research is proposed.

Using family stress theory, the influences of parenting daily hassles, family coping, sibling warmth, parenting stress, and sense of coherence were examined for their predictive qualities in determining quality of life for mothers of children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A predictive model was developed using the ABC-X model of family stress. A survey design was used with a sample of 103 mothers. The analysis was conducted using path analysis. For the participants in this study, sense of coherence had the greatest total effect on quality of life, followed by family coping, and parenting stress. Sibling warmth was not found to have a direct relationship with quality of life, but did have an overall effect when mediated by sense of coherence and parenting stress. Overall, this model fit well with the observed data and thus supported the research question for this study; specifically, parenting daily hassles, family coping, sibling warmth, parenting stress, and sense of coherence can be integrated to predict quality of life for mothers of children who have ADHD. This model explained 19% of the variance in quality of life. Pertinent related findings were also discussed relevant to commonly used coping strategies, most frequent and intense parenting daily hassles, and top factors in the sibling relationship. Mothers in the study used passive coping strategies most often in dealing with stressors, and employed more internal coping methods than external coping methods. Mothers were most concerned with and wanted the most help in dealing with arguments, anger, and hostility in the sibling relationship. An exploration of the qualitative parental responses revealed difficulties in accessing support systems. Parents expressed a lack of understanding of ADHD by schools and communities. Suggestions for future research and professional practice were also provided.

▼ Contemporary study of trauma is only a few decades old, and a framework for conceptualization and measurement of trauma in children has developed even more recently. One of the most under-studied populations of children with regard to trauma exposure and trauma-related mental health and behavioral problems is delinquent youth. However, understanding and addressing trauma promises to add significantly to our understanding of the etiology and treatment of criminal behavior among children. This dissertation includes a review of the often politically charged history of trauma research and treatment, including a discussion of why the delinquency field has lagged behind other human services disciplines with regard to acknowledging and studying the importance of maltreatment and trauma. The review includes recent research on the pervasive physiological impact of serious and chronic trauma among children, and touches briefly on emerging research regarding the physiological impact of serious and chronic trauma. The review also discusses the emerging model of trauma-informed care, which promises to help create safer institutional environments with improved treatment outcomes. The analysis utilizes a large statewide dataset that includes first offense and trauma history information for 36,695 youth who were arrested for the first time and assessed using the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT) within 48 hours of arrest. From the original pool of 36,695, twelve-month recidivism data are available for 28,442. Research questions include an exploration of the prevalence of various types of trauma indicators including physical abuse, witnessing violence, sexual abuse, and endorsing a history of flashbacks, and trauma for all youth as well as by race, sex, and Hispanic ethnicity among this group of first-time arrested youth. Next, logistic regression analyses are used to determine whether trauma indicators in general and specific types of trauma indicators are predictive of increased risk of offending in general and offending violently in the twelve months subsequent to the first arrest. Next, logistic regression is applied to determine whether the observed relationships between trauma and later offending operate similarly for youth regardless of sex, race, and Hispanic ethnicity while controlling for demographic and prior-offense variables. Analyses reveal that, according to the PACT assessment, the girls in the study were significantly more likely to endorse each unique trauma indicator as well as trauma in general, however, there were no significant differences in exposure based on race and Hispanic ethnicity. The logistic regression analyses revealed that each unique trauma indicators and trauma in general increase the likelihood of a new charge of any type, as well as a new violent charge. The final set of analyses involved disaggregating by categories of race, sex, and Hispanic ethnicity, and conducting logistic regression analyses for each of the six categories of youth included in the study. This set of analyses revealed… Advisors/Committee Members: Martell Teasley (professor directing dissertation), Irene Padavic (university representative), Aaron McNeece (committee member).

The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that help parents to cope with stress and to determine the overall impact that parenting stresses have on satisfaction with child care and overall life satisfaction. The current study utilized a family stress model to determine the overall impact that parenting stresses have on the two dependent variables with influences of parenting stresses, parenting daily hassles, level of family coping, perceived teacher support, and sense of coherence. Two hundred and one parents from one of five selected counties in Florida completed an online survey. The data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 6.0 and the models fit well with the observed data. The results revealed that the variable with the greatest total effect on satisfaction with child care was sense of coherence followed by parenting stress and perceived teacher support and the reported R2 explained 10.0 percent of the variance. Similar results were found for satisfaction with life. The variable with the greatest total effect on satisfaction with life was sense of coherence, followed by parenting stress and perceived teacher support and the reported R2 explained 33.0 percent of the variance. Parents reported being most stressed with worrying about "doing enough" for their children, with difficulty in balancing different responsibilities because of their children, and by financial burden.

Often considered the greatest of losses, a parent is never prepared for the death of a child. In addition to the unimaginable loss, there are practical issues that must be addressed, such as dealing with the belongings of the child. A study of spousal bereavement found that the way widows viewed the belongings of a spouse was related to complicated grief. The Dual Process Model of grief holds that bereaved people oscillate between a loss orientation and a restoration orientation as they deal with the death of a loved one and that this oscillation is a predictor of complicated grief. It was hypothesized that the significance that bereaved parents place on their child's belongings is a partial proxy of loss orientation. The Inventory of Daily Widowed Life was modified to apply to the death of any loved one and was used to measure oscillation. With the sample of bereaved parents, we found that oscillation explained 44% of the variance in scores on the Inventory of Complicated Grief after controlling for other known risk factors. A second analysis was performed, removing oscillation and using the subscale for restoration orientation and a measure of the significance of belongings. This model explained 39% of the variance in complicated grief after controlling for other known risk factors. This research suggests that the significance that parents place on the belongings of their deceased child may provide insight into the potential for complicated grief.

Financial management literature suggests that individuals manage money entering the household in a variety of ways which may be shaped by family composition. This dissertation addresses the influences of marital status, children and grandchildren residing inside and/or outside of the home, and gender on financial decision making. Two aspects of making financial decisions, psychological and sociological, serve as the focus of the study. Both of these important characteristics of making financial decisions were measured utilizing the National Endowment for Financial Education's Life Values study which characterizes psychological aspects as Inner Life Financial Values and sociological aspects as Social Life Financial Values. It was hypothesized that individuals in non-committed relationships, individuals with children or grandchildren residing outside of the home, and men with children or grandchildren outside of the home would demonstrate higher levels of Inner Financial Life Values. It was also hypothesized that individuals in committed relationships, individuals with children or grandchildren residing inside of the home, and women with children or grandchildren inside of the home would demonstrate higher levels of Social Financial Life Values. Results were analyzed utilizing one-way analysis of variance. Post hoc analyses were also examined. With respect to Inner Financial Life Values, results indicated significant differences between groups. This research suggests that psychological aspects of financial values may differ for individuals in committed relationships (i.e. married or living with a partner) as compared to individuals who are in non-committed relationships (i.e. divorced or have never been married). Additionally, the addition of children within a committed relationship may further contribute to the shaping of psychologically-based financial values. An examination of Social Financial Life Values indicated no significant differences between groups. A lack of differences between groups may be indicative of a reliance on social supports, such as extended family and friends, for individuals in non-committed relationships. Further examination of this measure is warranted.

▼ Background and Purpose: Social workers perform important roles within organ transplant services, especially in pediatrics where the parents and extended family are intimately involved. The role of social work in the area of organ transplantation remains underrepresented both within the social work profession and research literature. Research on the psychological and social predictors of medication adherence is critical to the advancement of pretransplant assessments and transplant social work services. Transplant social workers assess the child and family prior to transplantation to determine if the child and family are psychologically and socially prepared to undergo the procedure and care for the child after transplantation, and assist posttransplantation with resources and services. Ultimately, consistency with medication is critical to quality of life and in preventing organ rejection. Methods: The study used hospital-generated data and medical records information to test the association between patient and family psychosocial characteristics and medication adherence outcomes. Data generated from the United Network of Organ Sharing (Department of Health and Human Services) offered medical information and patient and family demographics. The posttransplant data included patients' long-term health, medical outcomes, and adherence to medications. All patients received psychological, psychiatric, or psychosocial assessments prior to being listed for transplantation which included information on the family and patient psychosocial information. Medication adherence was measured using the posttransplant opinion of the physician and standard deviation scores of patients' immunosuppressive medication blood levels. Research on the psychosocial predictors of medication adherence as well as health and medical outcomes are critical to the advancement of pretransplant assessments and transplant social work services. Results: Complete data were collected on 105 pediatric heart and lung transplant recipients and their families. The children were predominantly male (57%), white (65%), heart transplant recipients (78%), and a mean age at transplant of 10.1 years (sd = 6.0). A majority of the parents had an educational level below a four-year college degree (70%), were from a two-parent or blended family home (64%), and had public insurance (70%). In the bivariate analyses, age of the child at transplant, organ type, time of the pretransplant diagnosis, medical status (ICU) at time of listing for transplantation, and patient on life-support predicted standard deviation scores of the medication blood levels. The physician's opinion of the patient's adherence was predicted by age of the child at transplant, child experience of maltreatment, having private insurance, greater parental level of education, having a two-parent home, quality family communication, and patient on life-support. Multivariate, step-wise analyses were conducted with each adherence outcome. The medication blood level standard deviation scores were predicted by… Advisors/Committee Members: Linda Vinton (professor directing dissertation), Kay Pasley (university representative), Martell Teasley (committee member).

According to objectification theory, western culture is saturated with dominant views of heterosexuality as well as the overt sexualization of the female body. As such, women are acculturated to internalize sexually objectifying experiences leading to psychosocial distress in the form of shame, anxiety, a lack of body responsiveness, and an inability to experience peak motivational states. Evidence suggests self-objectification can increase the risk for various mental and behavioral health problems that differentially affect women, namely substance use to appear sexually attractive or to cope with an objectified body consciousness. To test this theory, 348 college women from one southeastern university were surveyed using five previously validated scales. Structural equation modeling was used to explore pathways between latent constructs. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated the measurement model fit the data well after omission of five items. Results from the path analysis provided evidence in support of the first two hypotheses: a) the experience of being sexually objectified leads to the increased use of alcohol among college women in this sample and b) the internalization of that sexual objectification leads to the increased use of alcohol. Contrary to the third and fourth hypotheses, however, c) self-objectification did not mediate the relationship between sexual objectification and alcohol use and d) neither feelings of shame nor anxiety, a lack of body responsiveness, nor the inability to engage in peak motivational states mediated the relationship between self-objectification and alcohol use.
