▼ ABSTRACT
STONE-WIGGINS, BRENDA PATRICIA. Predicting the Interest of Coalition Members in Utilizing Technical Assistance Support Systems (Under the direction of Roger E. Mitchell.)
Objective: Technical assistance (TA) systems have emerged as an important capacity-building strategy to increase the effectiveness of community prevention coalitions. However, the availability of TA does not necessarily translate into utilization. This study explored whether coalition members’ interest in utilizing TA is predicted by coalition member characteristics (i.e., age, education, gender, commitment, perceived skills, perceived benefits of participation, perceived coalition strength), coalition leader characteristics (i.e., leader’s interest in TA), and coalition functioning (i.e., effectiveness with regard to structure, collaboration and programming).
Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized existing data from coalition members (n=168), coalition leaders (n=22), and ratings of coalition programming from community key informants (n=141), all of which were associated with 22 health-oriented, community prevention coalitions. The dependent variable was the coalition members’ self-identified interest in TA. Principal component analysis confirmed that the 13-item Interest in TA scale represented a single factor.
Analysis: Hierarchical Linear Modeling (
HLM) analyses indicated that 12% of the variance in member interest in TA was due to group level factors.
HLM was used to examine the relationships among the predictors and members’ interest in TA.
Results: Members’ perceived skills was significantly related to members’ interest in TA (T=3.48, df=160, p=0.001) as predicted. Commitment was also significantly and positively related to interest in TA (T=2.38, df=160, p=0.019). In addition, members who perceived their coalition as weak were significantly more likely to be interested in TA (T=-2.63, df=160, p=0.010). Coalitions weaker in structure, collaboration and programming (as rated by leaders and key informants) were also more likely to have members interested in TA, although not at a level that reached significance. The small number of cases at the coalition level may have limited statistical power.
Conclusion: Members who perceived their coalition as weak were more interested in TA, suggesting that weaker coalitions may be accessible to TA providers. However, members with lower commitment and skills had less interest in utilizing TA. Suggestions for future research and intervention are discussed.

▼ Ancrée dans la monographie d'un quartier d'habitat social situé en ville moyenne (Auxerre) et adossée à un cadre théorique réhabilitant la classe sociale, cette thèse interroge, à travers les deux formes qu'elle revêt (un texte et un film), les effets de la politique de rénovation urbaine contemporaine sur les populations des quartiers ciblés.La recherche montre la manière dont la rénovation urbaine, en transformant les espaces physiques et la composition de la population locale, procède d'un mouvement de différenciation entre quartiers et entre secteurs, qui tend à rejouer le clivage entre la cité et le pavillon (lequel confère notamment ses allures au « nouveau » quartier étudié). Ce faisant, la rénovation urbaine retravaille le statut socio-résidentiel des habitant qui se prêtent dans ce cadre à un jeu de distanciation complexe – visible dans les rapports (variés) qu'ils entretiennent à l'espace, tant en termes de représentations que des conduites.En même temps, à travers ces rapports à l'espace pourtant faits de différences et oppositions, la recherche donne à voir la rénovation urbaine comme une mise à l'épreuve générale où se réaffirme l'appartenance commune des habitants aux classes populaires. En éprouvant inévitablement leurs richesses et leurs relations, elle contribue en particulier à souligner l'étroitesse des ressources économiques des habitants et révèle également l'importance que conserve la sociabilité locale.Cette dernière participe d'un ensemble de tentatives de réappropriation qui jalonnent les paroles et pratiques des habitants et enjoignent de ne pas succomber à l'image d'une domination unilatérale, aussi fondamentales que puissent apparaitre les contraintes pratiques et symboliques dans lesquelles les classes populaires évoluent.
Rooted in the monograph of a social housing neighborhood situated in a middle-sized city (Auxerre) and leaning on a theoretical framework rehabilitating social class, this thesis addresses the effects of the contemporary urban renewal on the targeted neighborhoods' population, through two forms (a text and a movie).The research shows how urban renewal, while transforming spaces and the composition of the local population, creates a movement of differentiation between neighborhoods and sectors, which tends to widen the (social) divide between housing estates and detached houses (that convey character to the “new” neighborhood in question). In doing so, urban renewal rebrands the socio-residential status of the inhabitants that are playing a game of complex detachment – which can be observed in the various connections they have with space, whether in terms of representation or conduct.Meanwhile, through the connections to space, made of differences and oppositions, the research shows urban renewal as a global probation in which the inhabitants' communal belonging to working classes gets confirmed. While putting their wealth and connections to the test, it underlines the narrowness of their economic resources and reveals the fundamental importance of local…

▼ Born from mandatory state-level high stakes assessment, more sources of student data are available to educators today than any other time in memory. School districts regularly employ some type of internal assessment system in order to understand how student populations are progressing towards expected outcomes. These assessments, often called interim assessments, are administered three to four times throughout the school year. How effectively teachers utilize these assessment data and its impact on student outcomes is the central focus of this study. This study utilized a quantitative design to understand if there is a predictive relationship between how teachers report the use of interim data and the student outcomes on year-end state-level tests.

▼ Fatigue is one of the most common and time enduring
symptom in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and
has a profound impact on their quality of life and well-being.
Previous research has shown a relation between objective stress
(stressful life events) and disease exacerbation manifested by
various symptoms, including fatigue. The subjective component of
stress and its temporal fluctuations were not studied in relation
to fatigue in these patients. The present study explored the
hypothesis that weekly fluctuations of perceived stress influence
the weekly fluctuations of fatigue impact in patients with
relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. In addition, the researcher
explored whether the relation between perceived stress and fatigue
impact may be moderated by factors such as disease duration and
coping mechanisms. Seventy-eight patients with relapsing-remitting
multiple sclerosis offered weekly self-report data on perceived
stress and fatigue impact over the course of a year. Hierarchical
linear models were used to test the study hypotheses. Results
revealed that perceived stress has an influence on the same week,
as well as following week, fatigue impact. Further, only the
relation between perceived stress and following week fatigue impact
was found to be moderated by the disease duration and coping
mechanisms. The findings suggest that perceived stress is a
contributing factor to fatigue in individuals with multiple
sclerosis. Clinical implications and directions for future research
are discussed.

▼ This study is concerned with understanding how predictors of depressive symptoms vary across place. The cross-sectional study utilized Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS) and US census data to create Hierarchical Linear Models (
HLM) with two levels. Level 1 was individual differences and level 2 was place. The
HLM models evaluated levels of depressive symptoms indicated by a composite CES-D score. The intercepts as outcomes model was significant for two place factors, Stable Suburban and Black Single Mother Headed Households. The slopes as outcomes model was significant for Black, Social Support, Unemployed, SleepLinear, SleepQuad, and Smoke Now. Results from this study indicate that depressive symptoms do vary among place and certain individual characteristics within places are more important as predictors of higher depressive symptoms.

▼ The primary aim of the proposed research is to understand a proposed mechanism of change in psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through examination of the relationship between alliance and outcome in two well established treatments for BPD. BPD is costly, painful, debilitating, and deadly, and thus, represents a serious clinical and public health concern. Across multiple studies of Axis I psychopathology, alliance has been shown to be a robust predictor of outcome. In addition, formation of an alliance has been written about extensively in theoretical descriptions of the treatment of BPD. However, little systematic research has been conducted to determine the relationship between alliance and outcome in BPD. The maximization of efficacy in the treatment of BPD depends upon understanding the specific mechanisms that characterize the disorder and that determine clinical change. Here, we examined working alliance in BPD, with a well standardized observer-rated measure (WAI) and a well characterized and representative sample of reliably diagnosed patients. We used archival data from a randomized clinical trial, including well characterized and standardized treatments to minimize competence as a confound for alliance. Through direct investigation of the alliance in a well controlled study of treatments for BPD, we begin to answer important questions regarding the role of alliance in therapeutic change with this population. The long-term goal of this research program is to elucidate the technical, relational, and contextual mechanisms of change in the treatment of specific psychological disorders, and to facilitate the translation of these findings into the validation and dissemination of efficacious treatments. Three foundational questions regarding the alliance in BPD were posed: 1) do treatment differences exist in the formation of early alliance, in line with emphasis on supportive and validating techniques early in treatment? 2) is alliance predictive of treatment retention/termination in this population? And 3) is alliance predictive of treatment response in BPD? Analysis of variance, survival analysis and hierarchical linear models were used to address these questions. It was found that working alliance was positive and equivalent treatments indicating that despite technical differences in approach, that therapists in all three treatment conditions were able to foster generally positive working relationships with their patients in the initial sessions of therapy. With respect to early termination, treatment type was found to be marginally associated with risk of dropout while working alliance was found to be significantly predictive of treatment retention. Hierarchical linear models were used to investigate the relationship of working alliance to initial symptomatic distress and functional impairment as well as to change during treatment. Consistent with predictions, working alliance was found to be associated with functional impairment but not symptomatic distress at the start of treatment.…

▼ Au Québec, les habitations à loyer modique (
HLM) sont des milieux de vie composés de logements offerts aux personnes vivant une situation de précarité sur le plan économique. Outre la fragilité financière présente dans ces milieux, il s’agit également d’un environnement caractérisé par la présence de diverses problématiques sur le plan psychosocial. De plus, dans certains
HLM à vocation familiale, les jeunes de moins de 20 ans sont surreprésentés, comptant plus de la moitié des locataires. Dans ce contexte, il appert que les
HLM sont des lieux d’intervention et de prévention tout indiqués pour la clientèle jeunesse qui y vit et qui est exposée, via cet environnement, à une population souvent marginalisée et fragile au plan financier et social. Bien que les jeunes des
HLM bénéficient des services qui leur sont offerts, il existe tout de même des défis quant à leur participation et leur intérêt envers ceux-ci. En effet, ils souhaiteraient avoir des activités davantage à leur image et jouir d’une plus grande autonomie au sein de leur milieu de vie. En fait, les jeunes issus des
HLM, tout comme plusieurs autres jeunes à travers le monde, et ce, dans divers contextes, ont exprimé le désir de faire entendre leur voix et de prendre part aux processus décisionnels qui les concernent. En réponse à ce désir, l’objectif du présent mémoire doctoral est d’explorer le point de vue des jeunes résidant en
HLM quant à leur milieu de vie, et ce, à travers une recherche-action participative de type photovoice. Pour ce faire, des discussions de groupe réalisées avec sept pairs-chercheurs âgés de 13 à 14 ans habitant en
HLM ont permis d’explorer ce qu’ils apprécient dans leur milieu de vie et ce qu’ils souhaitent changer et améliorer. C’est en prenant des photographies de leur milieu de vie et en discutant en groupe des enjeux photographiés que les pairs-chercheurs ont été invités à répondre à la question de recherche. Des analyses qualitatives thématiques ont permis de regrouper en deux grandes catégories les résultats obtenus. D’une part, ces derniers ont souligné plusieurs aspects positifs dans leur milieu de vie, particulièrement en ce qui a trait aux ressources du quartier, à sa beauté, ainsi qu’à l’atmosphère qui y règne, laquelle est qualifiée de sécuritaire, calme, vivante et rassembleuse. D’autre part, les pairs-chercheurs ont identifié divers aspects davantage négatifs dans leur milieu de vie, principalement liés aux
HLM. En effet, les pairs-chercheurs ont critiqué les aménagements extérieurs de leurs habitations ainsi que la présence de problématique sur le plan de la cohabitation entre les locataires. Finalement, les pairs-chercheurs ont rapporté des insatisfactions quant aux mécanismes de communication et de participation des locataires au sein du
HLM et quant aux services offerts aux jeunes. C’est au regard des résultats émergeant de la présente étude et de notre étroite collaboration avec les pairs-chercheurs que nous pouvons affirmer que le présent mémoire a permis de mettre en lumière l’importance de reconnaître le désir…

▼ Most quantitative research is conducted by randomly selecting members of a population on which to conduct a study. When statistics are run on a sample, and not the entire population of interest, they are
subject to a certain amount of error. Many factors can impact the amount of error, or bias, in statistical estimates. One important factor is sample size; larger samples are more likely to minimize bias than smaller samples. Therefore, determining the necessary sample size to obtain accurate statistical estimates is a critical component of designing a quantitative study.
Much research has been conducted on the impact of sample size on simple statistical techniques such as group mean comparisons and ordinary least squares regression. Less sample size research, however, has been conducted on complex techniques such as hierarchical linear modeling (
HLM).
HLM, also known as multilevel modeling, is used to explain and predict an outcome based on knowledge of other variables in nested populations. Ordinal logistic
HLM (OLHLM) is used when the outcome variable has three or more ordered categories. While there is a growing body of research on sample size for two-level
HLM utilizing a continuous outcome, there is no existing research exploring sample size for OLHLM.
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of sample size on statistical estimates for ordinal logistic hierarchical linear modeling. A Monte Carlo simulation study was used to investigate this research query. Four variables were manipulated: level-one sample size, level-two sample size, sample outcome category allocation, and predictor-criterion correlation. Statistical estimates explored include bias in level-one and level-two parameters, power, and prediction accuracy.
Results indicate that, in general, holding other conditions constant, bias decreases as level-one sample size increases. However, bias increases or remains unchanged as level-two sample size increases, holding other conditions constant. Power to detect the independent variable coefficients increased as both level-one and level-two sample size increased, holding other conditions constant. Overall, prediction accuracy is extremely poor. The overall prediction accuracy rate across conditions was 47.7%, with little variance across conditions. Furthermore, there is a strong tendency to over-predict the middle outcome category.

▼ Self-concept is related to student academic achievement and locus of control (Coleman et al., 1966), intrapersonal and interpersonal processes (Markus & Wurf, 1987), and many long-term outcomes, such as satisfaction with one’s job, marriage, and life in general (Mortimer et al., 1982). Although self-concept is fairly malleable in early adolescence, it becomes more stable and rigid in high school (Bachman, O’Malley, & Johnston, 1978; Protinsky & Farrier, 1980). While interventions targeting self-concept have generally been found to be successful (Hattie, 2014), the associations between specific school- based recognitions for achievement and student self-concept have yet to be investigated. Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NCES, 1996), the following analysis investigated the associations between different school-based recognitions for achievement and students’ self-concept. In this study, a set of school- based recognition variables was identified and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses was used to build an ANCOVA with random effects model predicting student self-concept in the 10th grade while controlling for gender, race, socioeconomic status (SES), and prior self-concept (8th grade) scores. Results indicate support for the use of HLM statistical methods and the inclusion of the aforementioned covariates. However, none of the predictor variables from the identified set of school-based recognition variables were significantly related to self-concept when entered into the model. Implications for school psychology research and practice are presented within a multitiered systems of supports (MTSS) framework, including suggestions for the implementation of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS).

How peer social worlds shaped the out-of-class learning

▼ Writing, as a widely used tool to verify learning
in U.S. higher education, often creates obstacles for
English-for-Speakers-of-Other-Languages (ESOL) students because of
the unfamiliar rhetorical and cultural practices. Peer learning, as
classroom pedagogy, has been studied extensively in education, but
a gap remains in terms of how peer social world has shaped college
ESOL students' informal learning experiences, given the dynamics of
their ethnolingual friendships. Therefore, this study attempted to
address three research questions: 1) What did informal peer
learning of college ESOL students look like? 2) How did informal
peer learning outside classrooms impact college ESOL students'
writing and psychosocial development? 3) How did their interactions
with ethnolingual friends influence their writing and psychosocial
development? Drawing on Vygotskyian sociocultural theories and
social capital theories to conceptually guide my study, I adopted a
concurrent mixed-method study design. Participants were a
convenience sample, including 49 ESOL students who registered for
an argumentative writing course and six writing instructors at the
Upstate University. I administered pre-and-post-writing-course
surveys to the student participants, followed by semi-structured
interviews and writing sample scoring, and triangulated these data
with instructors' perspectives in a focus-group. Quantitative and
qualitative data were analyzed separately, and interpreted
interactively. Specifically, I analyzed quantitative data using
descriptive statistics, correlational, HLM analysis and residual
change OLS regression analysis in order to parcel out effects of
informal peer learning; and I used the analytic induction and
constant comparison approaches to analyze qualitative data. This
study found that ESOL students' informal peer learning
interactions, mediated by their bilingual literacy and bicultural
understanding, played an important role in facilitating their
writing practices, and scaffolding their understanding of the
composing processes. With active agency in knowledge
co-construction, they operationalized their peer social capital
primarily in three ways: through course-friendship, ethnolingual
friendship, and weaker social ties. Positive psychosocial
influences of ethnolingual friendship were observed during these
interactions. Additionally, residential area was an important
social space for informal peer learning. This study contributed to
the field by exploring the affordances of ESOL students' informal
peer learning experiences to increase college ESOL students' growth
as learners.

▼ This study utilized a multi-level model to examine the impact of religion as an occupation on mortality. Death certificate data were used to examine clergy mortality and compares them to census categorized professionals, counseling professionals and unmarried clergy. Individuals mortality exist in, and is influenced by the state they resided and died in. Because of this, they are not only examined on the individual level, they are also nested in their respective state of death. A series of hierarchical linear models were estimated in order to determine the effects of the different influence levels (individual and state). Findings suggest that clergy have a significant life advantage over professionals and counseling professionals. Married clergy have significant years of life disadvantage when compared to unmarried clergy. Implications of this research are discussed and considerations for future research are presented.

▼ Walkability indices are currently used for a wide range of research and commercial applications. Few studies have examined the relationship between walkability indices and measured pedestrian volume or walking rates, nor explored moderators of pedestrian volume such as weather. With 14 years of traffic study data from the City of Ottawa, a spatial auto-regressive (SAR) multi-level model (MLM) was used to understand the proportion of variance in walking explained by the commercial Walk Score® index and selected weather variables. Modeling revealed that a significant proportion of pedestrian volume at a given location in Ottawa, including its spatial lag, was explained by the corresponding Walk Score® value and its spatial lag (51.45%). Furthermore, weather expressed as a combination of ‘felt’ temperature, presence or absence of precipitation, and percent cloud cover, accounted for 2.79% of the variance in walking. These findings indicate that walkability indices may provide value as cost-effective engineering and urban planning tools.

▼ Colleges and universities within the United States are
continuously looking at ways to assess and measure student
outcomes, academically as well as psychosocially. Student
engagement measures have come to the forefront of assessment tools
as a way for college administrators to determine whether their
students are actively engaged in programs and activities on campus
and whether this participation actually affects their retention and
persistence. Women's colleges have been studied extensively as an
alternative to the coeducational college environment for women.
Founded on the premise of providing a higher education to an
underserved population of women, women's colleges have evolved to
providing an educational environment that serves to empower and
enlighten their female students. However, over time, the number of
women's colleges have declined through closure, merger or
coeducation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether
there was a significant difference in engagement levels of female
students who attended former women's colleges and those who
attended historically coeducational colleges or women's colleges.
Exploring the engagement levels of students attending coeducational
colleges that were founded as women-only, with the corresponding
woman-centric educational experience, it can be determined whether
that history and commitment continue and result in an educational
environment that engages women significantly more than an
institution that was coeducational from its inception. Using the
NSSE benchmarks,
HLM and ANOVA was used to determine any
relationship between time from coeducational transition or male
enrollment percentage and engagement levels. Interaction effects
were also explored. Results of this study reveal three conclusions.
First, consistent with the literature, students attending women's
colleges are reporting higher engagement levels across all
benchmarks when compared to their peers attending former women's
colleges and historically coeducational colleges. Second, the
engagement levels of female students attending former women's
colleges are split along academic and psychosocial lines. Third,
consistent with the "chilly climate" literature, increasing male
enrollment percentage was linked to lower reported engagement
levels by women attending former women's colleges.

▼ Informed by Astin's Input-Environment-Outcome (I-E-O)
model and Pascarella's general model, this study explored the
nature of student-athletes' engagement in educationally purposeful
activities, described their engagement patterns, and revealed the
relationships between student engagement factors and college
outcomes by class and gender for 2596 student-athletes from 30
Division-I institutions. This research demonstrated that the NSEE
Five Benchmarks constructed for the general population did not fit
student-athletes. Therefore, engagement factors for
student-athletes were constructed based on a subset of component
items from the Five Benchmarks. Hierarchical Linear Models (
HLM)
were then applied to National Survey for Student Engagement (NSSE)
2006 and the aggregated school level data from the NCAA. The
research results reveal that the association patterns between
engagement factors and college outcome variables Satisfaction (SA),
General Education and Personal Competence (GEPC), and Personal and
Social Development (PSD) across all class and gender subgroups are
very similar, but differ from those for GPA. This research
concludes that engagement in educationally purposeful activities is
the best predictor for student-athletes' college outcomes (except
GPA). The analyses also reveal that what students do on campus
contributes more to their college outcomes than who they were at
matriculation and which school they attend. In particular, for all
outcomes, the fraction of the total variance due to between-school
differences was very small and the relationships between the
coefficients of school-level equations and school-level
characteristics were inconsistent. The results of this study, along
with other related studies, can help colleges devise strategies to
better fulfill their primary obligation to create genuine
educational opportunities for their student-athletes through
fostering their holistic development.

▼ Au Québec, les nouveaux arrivants sont de plus en plus représentés dans les habitations à loyer modique (
HLM), particulièrement dans les habitations destinées aux familles. En plus d’avoir pour mission d’offrir des logements sécuritaires et de qualité aux ménages à faible revenu, les offices municipaux d’habitation (OMH) soutiennent aussi l’établissement d’interventions sociocommunautaires favorisant le mieux-être des résidents en
HLM. Or, mobiliser la participation des parents aux différentes activités offertes, et plus spécifiquement la participation des parents issus de l’immigration, demeure un défi. Cette observation soulève donc des questions quant à l’expérience spécifique des parents immigrants dans ce milieu de vie. Ainsi, en se basant sur un cadre conceptuel interactionniste symbolique, l’objectif général de la thèse est de mieux comprendre le vécu de la parentalité pour les immigrants qui résident en
HLM par le biais de leur propre point de vue. Pour ce faire, lors d’entrevues semi-structurées individuelles auprès de sept parents résidant dans trois
HLM pour familles de la ville de Sherbrooke, deux thèmes sont explorés : un premier lié à la signification de l’expérience de la parentalité chez ces parents, et un second lié aux éléments de l’environnement physique et social ayant pu exercer une influence sur l’expérience de la parentalité. L’utilisation d’une méthode d’analyse thématique permet d’identifier les thèmes saillants qui ressortent du discours des parents. En lien avec la première question de recherche, deux dimensions principales de la parentalité ressortent, soit une dimension conceptuelle et une dimension expérientielle (affective et comportementale). Puis, à titre de facteurs d’influence sur l’expérience de la parentalité, plusieurs éléments de l’environnement résidentiel, autant sur le plan physique (p. ex., les caractéristiques de la construction des infrastructures, la localisation), que social (p. ex., les interventions sur place, les interactions avec le voisinage) se démarquent. Qui plus est, l’histoire personnelle et migratoire des parents, ainsi que des éléments contextuels du pays d’accueil, apparaissent également à titre d’éléments influençant la parentalité. Ainsi, par la mise en valeur de l’importance de l’environnement et de la culture sur l’expérience de la parentalité, les résultats de la thèse appuient la pertinence de prendre en compte le point de vue et l’expérience des parents immigrants dans le développement de services qui leur sont destinés, et ce, particulièrement dans leur milieu de vie.

▼ This quantitative study employs Hierarchical Linear Modeling (
HLM) to complete a path analysis that determines the effect of two different mentoring models on teacher attrition in a local education agency (LEA). The research focuses on 38 comprehensive public schools to determine if teacher attrition was impacted by a countywide teacher mentoring model employed from 2007 to 2012 compared to a school-based teacher mentoring program employed from 2012 to 2014. The research also assessed if these models had varying impact based on the level of the school (elementary, middle, or high), the setting of the school (urban or rural), and the poverty level of the school as measured by free and reduced meal rate. The results illustrate there was no statistically significant correlation between teacher attrition and the mentoring model employed irrespective of the level, setting, or poverty rate of the school.

▼ This study examined the role of attention in goal setting theory, using techniques adapted from selective attention research. Specifically, it explored activation and suppression of goal related information in the presence of two conflicting assigned goals. Pre vs. post goal completion and goal commitment were examined as moderators of these attentional effects. In addition, exploratory analyses looked at the impact of individual differences on attention (goal preference & action-state orientation). Analyses were conducted using three-level hierarchical linear modeling (
HLM), where repeated measures occur within trials, which are nested within individuals. In general, results failed to support the hypotheses. However, weak support was found for attentional effects when commitment was also taken into consideration. Further, while commitment was not found to have the strong moderating influence on attention that was hypothesized, there is some evidence for its overall importance to the attentional mechanism of the goal/performance relationship.

▼ The purpose of the simulation was to assess the impact of weight pattern assignment when using the multiple membership random effects model (MMREM). In contrast with most previous methodological research using the MMREM, mobility was not randomly assigned; rather the likelihood of student mobility was generated as a function of the student predictor. Two true weights patterns were used to generate the data (random equal and random unequal). For each set of generated data, the true correct weights and two incorrect fixed weight patterns (fixed equal and fixed unequal) that are similar to those used in practice by applied researchers were used to estimate the model. Several design factors were manipulated including the percent mobility, the ICC, and the true generating values of the level one and level two mobility predictors. To assess parameter recovery, relative parameter bias was calculated for the fixed effects and random effects variance components. Standard error (SE) bias was also calculated for the standard errors estimated for each fixed effect. Substantial relative parameter bias differences between weight patterns used were observed for the level two school mobility predictor across conditions as well as the level two random effects variance component, in some conditions. Substantial SE bias differences between weight patterns used were also found for the school mobility predictor in some conditions. Substantial SE and parameter bias was found for some parameters for which it was not anticipated. The results, discussion, future directions for research, and implications for applied researchers are discussed.

▼ Sociology
This dissertation examines the overlap of the racial composition of a neighborhood and the existence of a dual mortgage market in which prime and subprime lenders serve different neighborhoods and borrowers. Does subprime lending represent the democratization of credit or does it serve to track people by race? This dissertation employs Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Data, U.S. Census Data and the HUD Subprime Lender List to identify subprime loans.
I use Hierarchical Linear Modeling to predict the likelihood of subprime for a borrower in Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco and Alameda County California. The findings demonstrate that blacks and borrowers in black neighborhoods have a higher likelihood of originating a subprime loan than whites or borrowers in white neighborhoods. Further, blacks borrowing in largely white neighborhoods have an even higher likelihood of originating a subprime loan compared to their white neighbors than do blacks borrowing in largely black neighborhoods. These findings indicate that subprime lenders not only serve different neighborhoods, but also different borrowers regardless of the neighborhood in which they are borrowing and support the existence of a dual mortgage market that is defined by race.
The results from the analysis examining the consequences of subprime lending for neighborhoods indicate that after controlling for neighborhood characteristics, the positive relationship between earlier and later rates of subprime lending disappears. Also, while higher rates of subprime refinance lending were associated with a decrease in neighborhood median income in 2000, subprime lending was associated with positive changes in median house value and percent of homeowners that are black in the neighborhood, although the effects of subprime on median house value disappeared after controlling for neighborhood conditions.
The study points to the continued difficulties that black borrowers and borrowers in black neighborhoods face in obtaining a fair loan. As lending practices are reformed, it is important to keep in mind the need to ensure that minority borrowers who are in the position to afford a home loan maintain the ability to get a loan, but increased care must be taken to ensure that they obtain the ability to do so on fair terms.

▼ Study 1 evaluated the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) in caregivers of clinically-referred youth (n = 610). Methods from classical test theory, item response theory, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate scale properties. Additionally, techniques for detecting differential item functioning (DIF) were used to detect item bias. Results indicate that the SWLS has adequate internal consistency and item-total correlation coefficients. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a one-factor model consistent with theory. Exploration of differential item functioning detected no significant item bias. The results suggest, overall, the SWLS is a psychometrically sound instrument for use with caregivers of clinically referred youth.
Study 2 utilized the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) to investigate the life satisfaction (SWL) of caregivers for clinically-referred youth (n=383). Hierarchical linear modeling (
HLM) was used to estimate the linear trajectory of caregiver SWL and its relation to youth symptom severity as rated by caregivers, youth, and clinicians. Results show a significant inverse relationship between initial SWL and youth symptom severity, when caregiver or clinician rates symptom severity. More importantly, subsequent SWL inversely related to changes in youth symptom severity during treatment. These results demonstrate how understanding SWL in this population can aid clinical professionals in caring for the caregivers.

▼ The purpose of the study was to examine multilevel regression models in the context of multilevel structural equation modeling (SEM) in terms of accuracy of parameter estimates, standard errors, and fit indices in normal and
nonnormal data under various sample sizes and differing estimators (maximum likelihood, generalized least squares, and weighted least squares). The finding revealed that the
regression coefficients were estimated with little to no bias among the study design conditions investigated. However, the number of clusters (group level) appeared to
have the greatest impact on bias among the parameter estimate standard errors at both level-1 and level-2. In small sample sizes (i.e., 300 and 500) the standard errors
were negatively biased. When the number of clusters was 30 and cluster size was held at 10, the level-1 standard errors were biased downward by approximately 20% for the
maximum likelihood and generalized least squares estimators, while the weighted least squares estimator produced level-1 standard errors that were negatively biased by 25%. Regarding the level-2 standard errors, the
level-2 standard errors were biased downward by
approximately 24% in nonnormal data, especially when the correlation among variables was fixed at .5 and kurtosis
was held constant at 7. In this same setting (30 clusters with cluster size fixed at 10), when kurtosis was fixed at 4 and the correlation among variables was held at .7, both the maximum likelihood and generalized least squares estimators resulted in standard errors that were biased downward by approximately 11%. Regarding fit statistics, negative bias was noted among each of the fit indices investigated when the number of clusters ranged from 30 to 50 and cluster size was fixed at 10. The least amount of bias was associated with the maximum likelihood estimator in each of the data normality
conditions examined. As sample size increased, bias decreased to near zero when the sample size was equal to or greater than 1,500 with similar results reported across
estimation methods. Recommendations for the substantive researcher are presented and areas of future research are presented.

▼ Due to cost containment from Bureau of National Health Insurance, hospitals have reduced nursing staff to control the costs. Many studies show that the incidence of pressure sore is related to quality of nursing care, especially in the operating room. These studies have proved the correlation between the incidence and professional knowledge as for seniority, but few of the studies discussed the direct impact of nursing staffs to the patients. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between characteristics of nursing staff and patients with postoperative pressure sore by recruiting samples from both nurses and patients with pressure sores after surgery.
This study was completed in an accredited hospital in southern Taiwan. It was conducted with cross-sectional surveys and secondary data analysis. The subjects
were divided to 2 groups as patients with postoperative pressure ulcers and nursing staff in the operating room. In total, 1946 cases of postoperative pressure sores were recorded, and 85 surveys were conducted for nursing staff. After matching the two groups with exclusion criteria, the final sample contains 782 patients with postoperative pressure ulcers and 74 nurses from operating room.
This study utilized SPSS 20.0 and Mplus6.0 statistical software as analysis tool. The hypotheses were examined by using hierarchical linear model (
HLM). The 1st Level examined the variables of patient characteristics, diagnosis, and operations. The 2nd Level examined the relationship between the characteristics of the nursing staff and the patients.
The results show that operation time (r = 0.04; p<.01), surgical position (r = 13.58; p<.05, r = 50.101; p<.001), Hypothermia (r =3.56, p<.05), Hyperthermia (r =1.07, p<.05), warming device (r =0.12, p<.01) and diagnosis(r =10.19ï¼p<.001) were positive correlation to pressure sore; and no statistically correlation between patient characteristics and postoperative pressure ulcers. Seniority and position level of nursing staffs did not correlated with to pressure ulcers, but there was a positive correlation between participate of pressure ulcer related courses. (r = 31.56; p <.001, r = 22.38; p <.05). There was no correlation with frequency of reading research or articles about pressure sore.
The results indicate more patient-related factors are associated with the pressure sore than nursing staff-related factors. The results also show that seniority and the level of the nursing staff did not have significant association with pressure score. However, improving the knowledge of pressure ulcer by real courses will decrease the pressure sore comparing with self-reading articles. We suggested that different levels hospitals and more samples sizes are needed to improve generalizability in the future.

▼ This study seeks to understand the measurement of younger students’ perceptions of the school learning environment and their possible association with academic achievement. The target population is 4th and 5th grade students. Their perception of the school environment was compared to 7th graders by factor analysis, measurement invariance, differential item functioning, and hierarchical linear modeling. This study found that younger students’ perceptions are different from middle school students. However, like their middle school peers, these perceptions still predict academic performance.

▼ The developmental interdependence hypothesis proposes that a higher level of proficiency in the first language is more likely to contribute to the acquisition of a second language and that threshold levels of language proficiency in both the first and second language must be attained to allow for beneficial effects for cognitive and academic functioning. The theory proposes that to have a full account of the lexical knowledge of English language learners (ELLs), measurement must address both languages. The current study tested the assumptions of the developmental interdependence hypothesis. The Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities and the Diagnostic Supplement was used to measure Bilingual Verbal Ability. To investigate the effects of instruction on language ability, the study controlled for length of program enrollment for a group of second graders and compared the Bilingual and English verbal ability of 34 ELLs who consistently received instruction in English in an English as a Second Language (ESL) program with that of 19 ELLs who had consistently received instruction in both English and Spanish in a dual language setting. It was hypothesized that the students receiving consistent dual language instruction would demonstrate increased Bilingual and English verbal ability. Reading curriculum-based measurement (R-CBM) was used to measure the English oral reading fluency growth of 77 ELL second grade students. R-CBM data was analyzed utilizing hierarchical linear modeling (
HLM) in order to determine the within-year English oral reading fluency trajectories of the students. Bilingual verbal ability was hypothesized to positively influence the beginning-of-year oral reading fluency level and the rate of growth for English oral reading fluency of individual students. Results indicated that students’ verbal ability was not significantly different based on the type of bilingual program instruction they had received and that Bilingual verbal ability significantly and positively predicted Fall English oral reading fluency, but not growth rate, for a group of second grade ELLs. It was concluded that there was a relationship between Bilingual verbal ability and English oral reading fluency; however, the results of multilevel analysis indicated that there remained much unexplained variance in the model.

Modeling Science Achievement Differences Between Single-sex

▼ There is a broad interest in narrowing achievement
gaps among all groups of students and improving education by
scientifically sound methods. On October 25, 2006, the United
States Department of Education published new regulations allowing
single-sex education in public schools whenever schools think it
will improve student achievement. Thus far, studies comparing
single-sex with coeducational schools have been carried out at the
national level mostly in England, Australia and Jamaica, while US'
studies were limited to Catholic schools. Few studies reported
descriptive statistics or effect sizes and most studies differ in
the criteria and statistical controls they use to compare
single-sex and coeducation. This dissertation presents models for
science achievement and attitudes towards science for 8th -grade
students attending either single-sex or coeducation schools in Hong
Kong and New Zealand, using the Trends in Mathematics and Science
Study (TIMSS) datasets from 1995, 1999, and 2003. To properly
account for the nested structure of data, an
HLM model was
estimated for each sex, for each of the two jurisdictions at three
time points, corresponding to the three TIMSS administrations. The
within - country results were compared to see if differences
between single-sex and coed schools were consistent over time. In
addition, this dissertation proposed an approach to examine the
sensitivity of the estimated effects of school-type on student
outcomes to the presence of unmeasured variables which may
introduce hidden selection bias, using a modification of the method
proposed by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983). Based on its conditional
distribution with an instrumental variable, chosen based on the
review of single-sex literature, the Monte Carlo simulated values
of the unobserved variable were used as level-1 predictors in a
one-way ANCOVA with random effects. The sensitivity analysis was
limited to science achievement of Hong-Kong's girls in TIMSS 2003.
Findings show that single-sex education contributed to girls'
science performance and attitudes in NZL 1999 and HKG 1999 and
2003, and low sensitivity for school-type contrast.

▼ My dissertation presents three related projects. In each project, I make a novel contribution to the understanding of collaborative environmental governance in theory and practice. I focus on a common application of collaborative environmental governance - collaborative watershed planning and management groups. Broadly, I address the question of whether -and how-collaborative governance improves environmental outcomes. Accordingly, each project is intended to address questions that are critical in this regard. Within each chapter I also make a significant methodological contribution to policy and management research. For each of the three chapters I use novel data and demonstrate the use of an analytic method that as-of-yet has not gained traction in policy and management research.

▼ This study investigates whether academic achievement in individual children can be predicted by the proportion of children with school readiness vulnerabilities within the school neighbourhood. The data analyzed came from: 1) an extensive administrative database on the EDI (Early Development Instrument) (Janus Offord, 2007), which provided the measure of school readiness vulnerability; and 2) a large study of academic achievement and associated factors conducted in Latin American and Caribbean countries (SERCE, UNESCO/LLECE, 2008), which provided the measure of individual child achievement and demographics at the school level. These data were collected in 2006 (SERCE) and 2008 (EDI) in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. A two-level Hierarchical Linear Modeling (
HLM) approach was conducted to analyze the data, with individual SERCE student level predictors at level-1, and average EDI school neighbourhood vulnerability scores as predictors at level-2. The EDI records (n=50,400) were nested within a total of 116 school neighbourhoods comprised of 151 schools. Results indicate that the level-2 predictors (EDI) accounted for a small but significant proportion of between school variance in third (13.8%) and sixth (17.2%) grade reading. However, the level-2 predictors (EDI) did not account for significant variance in third and sixth grade mathematics. These results provide further evidence for the influence that average school or neighbourhood readiness variations have on academic achievement. The study findings add to the conceptualization of the EDI as a marker of school and neighbourhood influences and suggest an enriched perspective on trajectories in learning for the UNESCO/LLECE research initiative.

▼ Educational models of achievement almost always include SES measures but these measures are typically selected in an atheoretical way. Using social class theories to conceptualize SES in a study and to help select SES measures should enhance the credibility of inferences. The social class theory literature was reviewed and used to identify SES measures consistent with particular theories. The reviewed social class theories were Weberian, Marxian and Occupationalist theories and SES measures consistent with these theories were income, education, and occupation, respectively. A meta-analysis was used to provide an empirical test of the effect of selecting SES measures in a theoretically grounded way on the relationship between SES and achievement. The results indicated that there were small differences favoring the theoretically grounded measures. The importance of educational researchers turning to the social class literature for guidance in conceptualizing and measuring SES is discussed.

▼ The concept of function is one of the essential topics in the teaching and learning of secondary mathematics because of the central and unifying role it plays within secondary and college level mathematics. Organizations, such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, suggest students should be able to make connections across multiple representations of mathematical functions by the time they complete high school. Despite the prominent role functions play in secondary mathematics curriculum, students continue to struggle with the complex notion of functions and especially have difficulty using the different representations that are inherent to functions (algebraic, graphical and tabular).
Technology is often considered an effective tool in raising student achievement, especially in learning functions where the different representations of a graphing calculator are analogous to the different representations of a function. Opportunity to learn is another important consideration when examining achievement and is generally considered one of, if not the most important, factor in student achievement. Opportunity to learn, or the measure of to what extent students have had an opportunity to learn or review a concept, is often measured with self-reports of content coverage.
This study examined the relationship between opportunity to learn, students'; use of graphing calculators, and achievement within a curriculum that supports integrated use of technology and focuses on conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts. The research questions focused on what opportunities students had to learn functions from the enacted curriculum, what calculator strategies students used when solving function problems, how both opportunity to learn and calculator strategies influenced student achievement, and what relationships exist between opportunity to learn, use of calculator strategies, and student achievement.
This study is an in-depth secondary analysis of a portion of data collected as part of the evaluation study of Precalculus and Discrete Mathematics (Third Edition, Field-Trial Version) developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project. Participants in this study (n = 271) came from six schools, seven teachers, and 14 classes. Instruments in this study include two pretests (one with technology and one without) and three posttests (two with technology and one without) and a calculator usage survey for one posttest. In addition to five student assessments, teachers completed opportunity-to-learn surveys for the posttests and chapter evaluations forms on which they indicated the lessons taught and the homework problems assigned from the textbook. Some students (n = 151) had access to graphing calculators equipped with computer algebra systems (CAS) while others (n = 120) had access to graphing calculators.
Students had multiple opportunities to learn functions as measured by lessons taught, homework assigned, and posttest items teachers reported as having taught or reviewed the content necessary for…
