▼ The life cycle assessment (LCA) process is a systematic approach to determining the environmental impacts of different products and processes. LCA is a relative approach that requires functional equivalence for the results to be compared. A method is presented that achieves functional equivalence by equating the reliability indexes being compared. An example of the method is completed on a hypothetical bridge located in Astoria, OR. The bridge is modeled for three possible construction materials: concrete with ordinary portland cement, concrete with recycled concrete aggregate and concrete with high volume fly ash. These three materials have different mechanical properties that affect the seismic resilience of the bridge as well as the degradation of the structure over time. The reliability index for a bridge made out of each material is determined by modeling the occurrence of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, and accounting for the deterioration of the bridge due to chloride ingress. Accurate data on the modeling parameters of recycled concrete aggregate and high volume fly ash are not well documented, so an incremental approach is taken. The recycled concrete aggregate is modeled with increasing coefficients of variation for compressive strength, and the high volume fly ash is modeled with increasing resistance to chloride ingress. Compressive strengths required to achieve the same reliability index as the ordinary portland cement model are calculated using structural reliability methods. Simplified mixture designs are presented for each material and a life cycle inventory assessment is completed. The life cycle inventory assessment data, based on carbon emissions, energy and virgin aggregate usage, are then compared. The objective of this project is to determine the importance of achieving functional equivalence for an LCA, and to present a simplified method for how this can be done. For this reason the life cycle inventory assessment data are compared to a mixture design that does not achieve functional equivalence. The method shows a decrease in the reliability of a recycled concrete aggregate mixture design, which requires an increase in the compressive strength to achieve functional equivalence. An increase in compressive strength produces more carbon emissions, uses more energy and uses less virgin aggregate. The high volume fly ash mixture design requires a decrease in the compressive strength which reduces the amount of carbon emissions and energy use and increases the amount of virgin aggregate required. The fluctuations in the carbon emissions and energy usage show the importance of considering functional equivalence properly in an LCA. Areas in which improvement can be made are identified and discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh (advisor), Ideker, Jason (committee member).

▼ Fossil fuels have been the main source of energy for a long period but due to growing concerns over climate change, oil depletion and energy security, the development of renewable sources of energy such as biofuels have been flourishing over the past few decades. Despite the fact that biofuels are perceived to be more sustainable than fossil fuels, three important issues should be considered if agricultural products are used to produce fuel. First, the environmental impacts of producing biofuels vary greatly with feedstock type and growing location. The second issue is the dilemma between food and fuel such that if food crops are used to make biofuels, food prices can increase dramatically. Third, if there is an increase in demand for a particular crop, non-agricultural land (e.g. forest, grassland, peatland) can be converted to agricultural land which increases the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) due to land use change (LUC). In order to capture the effect of regional factors on life cycle assessment of biofuels, agroecosystem process-based models which can model soil emissions and predict yield can be used. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a systematic set of procedures for compiling and examining the inputs and outputs of materials and energy and the associated environmental impacts directly attributable to the functioning of a product or service system throughout its life cycle. In the first objective of this study, the effect of regional factors on LCA of camelina seed production and camelina methyl ester production was assessed. While general conclusions from LCA studies point to lower environmental impacts of biofuels, it has been shown in many studies that the environmental impacts are dependent on location, production practices and even local weather variations. A cradle to farm gate and well to pump approaches were used to conduct the LCA. To demonstrate the impact of agro-climatic and management factors (weather condition, soil characteristics, and management practices) on the overall emissions for four different regions including Corvallis, OR, Pendleton, OR, Pullman, WA and Sheridan, WY, field emissions were simulated using the DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model. openLCA v.1.4.2 software was used to quantify the environmental impacts of camelina seed and camelina methyl ester production. The results showed that GHG emissions during camelina production in different regions vary between 49.39 to 472.51 kg CO2-eq./ha due to differences in agro-climatic and weather variations. The GHG emissions for 1 kg of camelina produced in Corvallis, Pendleton, Pullman, and Sheridan were 0.76±11%, 0.55±10%, 0.47±18% and 1.26±6% kg CO2-eq., respectively. The GHG emissions for 1000 MJ of camelina biodiesel using camelina produced in Corvallis, Pendleton, Pullman, and Sheridan were 53.60±5%, 48.87±5%, 44.33±7% and 78.88±4% kg CO2-eq., respectively. Other impact categories such as acidification and ecotoxicity for 1000 MJ of camelina biodiesel varied across the regions by 43% and 103%, respectively.

▼ Numerous parasite species have evolved complex life cycles with multiple, subsequent hosts. For trematodes, life cycles have evolved from exploiting a single vertebrate host to incorporating intermediate hosts, with most trematodes now utilising three consecutive hosts. Each transmission event in multi-host life cycles creates obstacles selecting for various adaptations, one of which is facultative life cycle abbreviation. In trematodes, facultative life cycle abbreviation occurs through progenesis, i.e. precocious maturity and reproduction via self-fertilisation within the second intermediate host. Progenesis eliminates the need for the definitive host and facilitates life cycle completion. Adopting a progenetic cycle may be a conditional strategy in response to environmental cues related to low probability of transmission to the definitive host. In this study, the effects of environmental factors on the reproductive strategy of the progenetic trematode, Stegodexamene anguillae, were investigated using laboratory and field studies. In the three-host life cycle, S. anguillae sexually reproduces within definitive hosts, two eel species, whereas in the progenetic life cycle, S. anguillae reproduces by selfing within the metacercarial cyst in tissues of the second intermediate fish host. Environmental factors that affect the probability of transmission to a definitive eel host, such as longevity of the current host and abundance of eels, should strongly influence the reproductive strategy of S. anguillae. The results suggest that cues from hosts under stressful conditions and encystment site within the host may signal transmission opportunities to the parasite so that it may adjust its developmental strategy accordingly. However, presence or abundance of the definitive eel host does not seem to affect the frequency of progenesis in S. anguillae. Progenetic individuals face egg dispersal challenges associated with reproducing within metacercarial cysts inside a second intermediate host. Most progenetic species await host death for their eggs to be released into the environment. The present study investigated natural temporal variation of progenesis in S. anguillae in its second intermediate fish host and the effect of the fish’s reproductive cycle on progenesis. A greater proportion of individuals became progenetic in the gonads of female fish hosts than in other tissues. Additionally, progenesis of worms in the gonads was correlated with seasonal day length and temperature changes, major factors controlling fish reproduction. Host spawning events are likely to be an avenue of egg dispersal for the parasite, with the adoption of progenesis being conditional on whether or not the parasite can benefit from fish spawning. This is the first study investigating variation in the frequency of progenesis among populations. Geographic variation was found in S. anguillae, independently of eel abundance or parasite population structure. Although not associated with geography, strong genetic differentiation existed between… Advisors/Committee Members: Poulin, Robert (advisor).

▼ Increasing demand for renewable energy has resulted in a new interest for alternative technologies such as organic photovoltaics. With efficiencies exceeding 8% for both polymer and small molecule photovoltaics, organic photovoltaics are now being commercialized due to their flexibility and low weight which allow for their adoption in new applications such as portable electronics, smart fabrics, and building-integrated photovoltaics. To date, most research efforts have been focused on increasing power efficiency with little assessment of potential negative impacts associated with their large scale production. It is generally assumed that organic photovoltaics have low environmental impacts and are by nature inexpensive to produce since they are often solution processed. In the present work, a comprehensive analysis of the life cycle embodied energy for C60 and C70 fullerenes which are the most common acceptor molecules in organic photovoltaics, has been performed from cradle-to-gate, including the relative contributions from synthesis, separation, purification, and functionalization processes. The embodied energy of all fullerenes was calculated to be an order of magnitude higher than most bulk chemicals. These results have enabled the life cycle impact associated with the production of various types of organic photovoltaics to be calculated, including polymer, small molecule and multi-junction devices. An outcome of the life cycle assessment for organic photovoltaics shows that small molecule devices require significant fabrication energy from high vacuum processing and their efficiency is limited by poor absorption in the near-infrared (NIR). Therefore, a solution processing approach with novel NIR absorbing molecules in multi-junction devices has been developed in order to minimize the total cumulative energy. The combined efforts have led to the first demonstration of a spray-coated small molecule photovoltaic NIR device, using a combination of ZnPc and AlPc which is projected to have an embodied energy similar to single junction polymer devices.

▼ Public policy plays a major role in defining societal programs and frameworks, including issues related to environmental protection. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) offers a tool to provide comprehensive environmental impact information that can be applied within the public policy development process. However, direct application of LCA results within the public policy arena has been limited, as a result of process and technical barriers. Despite the potential challenges and barriers, LCA could theoretically improve the decision-making process, and ultimately lead to better environmental outcomes. To facilitate this process, this thesis develops and presents recommendations to encourage consistent approaches to incorporating LCA into public policy decision making, in order improve the informed consideration of environmental factors within public policy development. In developing this thesis, information from existing literature provided a background of the use of LCA in public policy development and research into associated barriers. Literature was supplemented through interviews with subject matter experts, as well as practical LCA application through involvement with case studies with public policy elements. The current ISO LCA standards were also reviewed through a lens of public policy application. Research results were summarily integrated to develop a proposed framework for incorporating an improved LCA methodology into public policy development. Research showed that barriers that limit the application of LCA within the public policy development process range from lack of technical knowledge and LCA understanding on the part of policy makers, to a lack of trust in LCA process and results. Many of the identified barriers suggest that the failure of LCAs to contribute positively to public policy development is due to the process within which the LCA is being incorporated, rather than technical problems in the LCA itself. This led to the conclusion that a more open and inclusive process, with a focus on communication and understanding, may provide a better alternate framework for the development of public policy. This approach suggests that effectively incorporating LCA within the overall public policy decision-making process requires a more normative multi-disciplinary approach that includes a range of stakeholders and public policy decision-makers in a collaborative process at all stages of the assessment. Involving decision-makers and a full range of stakeholders actively, wholly and genuinely throughout a transparent and robust LCA process would serve to build an effective public policy development framework that would facilitate increased integration of LCA. A set of recommendations for implementing this type of process represents a significant contribution of this thesis. Additional recommendations suggest expanding the ISO LCA standards to embrace subjective and process elements, making them more robust, and encouraging the use of LCA in applications such as public policy. An overall conclusion is that one of…

▼ Asset Management, which evolved from maintenance management, is a set of processes, tools and measures that provide a shared understanding of an organisation’s physical assets. The process of asset management involves creation of a register of assets and recording of details of planned work. It also covers scheduling and recording of work done in order to create financial and technical history of assets. The life cycle of an asset consists of the acquisition operation, maintenance and disposal phases. These four aspects of an asset’s life represent the high level framework for asset management. This framework is crucial in development of asset management plans. The plan in turn, creates a road map for asset management excellence. By optimising the performance of asset management practices and processes a positive contribution can be made to the profitability of an organisation. The objective of this study was to develop a plan for the Coega Development Corporation (CDC) that would assist in management, maintenance, tracking and replacement of assets. The research primarily focused on the asset management requirements within the organizational context. The methodology employed in the study included a review of the relevant literature and case study conducted at CDC. The case study approach was very appropriate as it dealt with the current situation at CDC. Primary data was collected through interviews. Secondary data was collected from books, journals and other sources. Data was collected in words instead of numbers. The findings show that the CDC does not have an Asset Management Plan which results into the lack of information in the current asset register, a lack of specialist information systems, a lack of resources and an absence of a planning function in the skills sets of various units within the organisation. The Asset Register should work as a basic system for management of assets. The findings show that asset management can be used to comprehensively address the relevant elements of the organisations’ assets framework.

▼ In this study, a series of laboratory measurements was conducted on residential air handling units (AHUs) and air conditioners to characterize their performance at typical installed conditions. In addition, performance models of blowers and air conditioners were developed from the laboratory measurements and integrated with building energy simulations to predict the energy consumption and the life cycle cost of ductworks with respect to different climates (Chicago, IL and Austin, TX), duct materials (e.g., sheet metal and flex ducts), flow resistances, and blower types (e.g. PSC and ECM blowers). The experimental results showed that PSC and ECM blowers have distinct airflow, power, and efficiency performance in response to increases in the external static pressure (ESP). The building energy simulation results showed that increasing the duct flow resistance from 0.3 to 0.9 in. w.g. (75 to 225 Pa) decreased airflow rates of PSC blowers and consequently decreased the annual blower electricity consumptions by 11% for the Austin home and 16% for the Chicago home. However, in systems with ECM blowers the same increase in the duct flow resistance increased the annual blower electricity consumptions by about 60% for both the Austin home and the Chicago home, primarily because ECM blowers maintained constant airflow rates over a range of pressures. For the same increase in the duct flow resistance, the electricity consumptions of condensing units in systems with PSC blowers increased by 2.7% for the Austin home and 5.5% for the Chicago home, while the electricity increase in systems with ECM blowers were less dramatic, being 1.6% for the Austin home and 1.5% for the Chicago home. Also, the simulation results indicated that although the cost-effectiveness of a specific duct design is shown to be heavily dependent on initial duct fabrication and installation costs, the use of lower flow resistance ductworks generally leads to lifetime savings in the presence of supply and return leakages of 10%. Specifically, the lifetime savings is achieved in 6 out of 8 simulated cases for the Chicago home and all of the simulated cases for the Austin home by using ductworks at lower flow resistances.

▼ Nowadays, organizations have realized the importance of becoming more customer-centric and invested a large amount of time and resources in a Customer Relationship Management. To be able to understand these behavioural changes the customer lifecycle model is used, which is divided into five different stages de-pending on the customer relationship to the company. In banking sector, Customer Lifecycle Management (CLM) has the potential to help bank acquire new customers, retain existing ones and maximize their lifetime value. Through use of CLM the bank has been able to provide better customer service, make call centres more efficient, cross sell products more effectively, help sales staff close deals faster, simplify marketing and sales processes, discover new customers, and increase customer revenue. Thus this study aimed to investigate the extent to which customer life cycle management has been adopted by Barclays Bank of Kenya. The study adopted a case study. The study relied mostly on primary data source which was collected through use of interview guides. The population of the study was the Barclays Bank of Kenya while customer relations managers were interviewed. The data obtained was analyzed using content analysis. The study found that customer life cycle put in place by the bank is supposed to make the lives of their customers much easier and to be a customer friendly bank. To the bank the customers‟ needs could be met by identifying their needs and putting in the necessary service products to support the continuous patronage of the customers. The study also concludes that CLM customer needs and desire drive behaviour and it should be addressed properly in order to lead to high customer satisfaction. Relationship marketing tries to establish an „intimacy‟ that is individualized like with customers via strong personal appeal and continuing commitment. This calls for trust and commitment to exist between the banker and the customer in order to ensure loyalty and build relationship. The study recommended that monitoring competitive customer relationship constantly should be an important part of a company‟s. Since customer relationship is competitive and a company's major competitors are also managing their customer relationship with potentially the same customer relationship management practice. The study also recommends that there is need for proper training for frontline staff to handle customers since it is very important must be taken into account. There is the need to identify the underlying factors that determine the behaviour of the customers. Management of banks need to develop suitable organizational support systems that will promote good customer relations as a marketing strategy to improve market growth, share and profitability.

▼ The association between sexual minority status and poor mental health is well established. However, despite the recent increase in studies investigating health disparities between heterosexual and sexual minority youth and adults, few consider the multidimensional and developmental nature of sexuality when assessing its association with mental health outcomes over various contexts and time. The current study employed the use of complex methodology to assess human sexuality across multiple dimensions (i.e., sex, romantic/sexual attraction, romantic/sexual behavior, and sexual orientation/identity) and developmental stages (i.e., adolescence to adulthood) to assess between and within-group differences on outcomes of depression and suicidality. The influence of interpersonal relationships (parental and peer) and contexts (school and community) on the association between sexual status and mental health outcomes were also examined. In Study 1 latent class analysis was used to identify three groups in adolescence that varied in sexual status. Group comparisons indicated that those who were same- or both-sex attracted reported higher levels of depression and suicide concurrently and at later developmental stages. Proposed risk and protective factors did not fully attenuate differences in outcomes, although the cumulative influence of these effects mitigated differences for depression in early adolescence. Repeated measures latent class analysis on indicators of sexuality from adolescence to adulthood (Study 2) identified five groups that varied in sexual status and sexual maturation and that were differentially related in suicidality and depression over time. Groups identified by sexual minority status characteristics (same- or both- sex attraction or behavior, or nonheterosexual identities) were most at risk across time; however, these groups also demonstrated differences from one another. Longitudinal associations with outcomes identified differential timing of risk, and the analysis of risk and protective factors indicated that youth contexts alter the association between sexual status and mental health outcomes. When assessing the relationship between sexual status groups and trajectories of depression from adolescence to adulthood (Study 3) results indicated four distinct trajectories characterizing chronic low risk, early risk, later risk, and chronic high risk. Findings indicated that groups characterized by sexual minority attraction, behavior, and identity were associated with later and chronic high risk trajectories from adolescence to adulthood when compared to heterosexual groups. Together, results indicate both between- and within-group differences in sexual status and the subsequent association with mental health outcomes. Investigation of risk and protective factors revealed that youth interpersonal relationships and environments act as both mediators and moderators of the relationship between sexual status and mental health, with more robust influences on depression than suicidality and on concurrent rather… Advisors/Committee Members: B.

ABSTRACT Acquired hearing loss occurs when one loses their hearing postlingually. The condition is increasing as the world's population ages and is also increasing in younger adults as well. Little quantitative data is available on how hearing loss affects spouses' or partners' intimate relationships. Thus, the focus of this study is to explore how hearing loss affects spouses' marital adjustment. Eighty-two couples participated and couple members individually completed surveys that provided the data for this quantitative study. The statistical method used was stepwise multiple regression. The study variables were: degree of hearing loss, sudden versus gradual loss, spouses' personality, perceived social support, and spouses' marital adjustment. Use of assistive technology was tested as a moderator of the relationship between the degree of hearing loss and spouses' marital adjustment. Also, perceived social support was tested as a mediator of the relationships between degree of hearing loss, sudden versus gradual loss, spouses' personality, and marital adjustment. Perceived social support was the most significant predictor of spouses' marital adjustment and predicted higher levels of marital adjustment. Presence of children in the home was significantly associated with lower levels of marital adjustment. While use of assistive technology significantly predicted spouses' marital adjustment, it was not found to moderate the relationship between degree of hearing loss and spouses' marital adjustment. Perceived social support was found to mediate the relationships between openness and marital adjustment and conscientiousness and marital adjustment but not for the degree of hearing loss, sudden versus gradual loss, agreeableness, emotional stability, or extraversion. Implications for clinical practice are also presented.

This study explored the relationship between adolescent mental health, parental depression, and family environment for children and adolescents accessing intensive mental health treatment. The study had two aims. Aim one was to identify the severity of externalizing behaviors versus internalizing behaviors in children and adolescents accessing intensive mental health treatment and to determine the nature of gender differences in such behaviors. Aim two was to explore the relationship between adolescent mental health, parental depression, and family environment. Results indicated that children and adolescents accessing intensive mental health treatment were more likely to exhibit externalizing behaviors than internalizing behaviors, and female adolescents were more likely to exhibit externalizing behaviors than were male adolescents. In relation to the second aim, there was a significant relationship between parental depression and internalizing behaviors in children and adolescents, such that parents who reported more symptoms of depression were more likely to report that their children and adolescents exhibited internalizing behaviors. Family environment and gender had the greatest influence on externalizing behaviors such that families with female adolescents and who reported lower levels of connection within the family were also more likely to report that their children and adolescents exhibited externalizing behaviors. Lastly, parents who perceived that their children and adolescents were exhibiting externalizing behaviors were more likely to report less access to relationships both internally (i.e. their spouse) and externally (i.e. childcare, friends). Conversely, only one of the internalizing behaviors, depression, was related to access to internal and external family relationships. Parents who perceived that their children and adolescents were displaying more depressive symptoms were also more likely to report less access to relationships. Findings from the current study highlight the need to understand the families of children and adolescents who access intensive mental health treatment to better tailor prevention and intervention efforts.

▼ The factors that currently impact professional practice in the field of human sexuality are invisible in the available literature. The current study addresses this gap, and also identifies similarities and differences between professions, as well as the role of an ecological systems framework in explaining professionals' experiences. The present study drew on past literature that outlines the historical nature of sexuality education, therapy, and research. The sample was drawn from a previous data set where the author interviewed experts in the field(s) of sexuality education, therapy, and research. Twenty-seven sexuality educators, therapists, and researcher were interviewed using purposive and snowball sampling. Beginning with contacting the membership directors of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT; the predominant professional body for sexuality educators and therapists in North America), and the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS; the predominant professional body for sexuality researchers in North America), to gain the initial potential participants, a snowball sampling technique was subsequently used to garner the remainder of the respondents. To conduct these interviews, the author contacted each potential participant personally through email. Participants were interviewed through Skype or a telephone conversation typically lasting between 35 to 90 minutes. They were then asked to provide their experiences regarding their joys, challenges, what they would have done differently; areas where the field needs growth; factors to be studied; and suggestions for the future of sexuality education, therapy, and research. The interviews were analyzed using a grounded theoretical (GT) strategy, resulting in the production of themes. Two main themes, as well as many sub-themes, were identified that explain the factors impacting professional practice in human sexuality. Meaningful work and the personal characteristic of diehard determination, both encompassed what a professional must attain and overcome to remain in a sexuality-based career. Meaningful work for sexuality educators was comprised of student epiphanies and the public's desire for accurate information. For therapists, this included the overwhelming trust of clients and the variety of clinical treatments and problems. For researchers, this was represented through the variance of the phenomena studied, and a senses of pioneering. Diehard determination in sexuality educators was seen through confrontation and conflict and maintaining sensitivity. For Therapists, this was represented by insufficient training and clients' beliefs about normality. Sexuality researchers remained determined despite funding being an ever-present challenge, institutional review boards not understanding sexuality research, and work being undervalued. Many unique similarities and differences were observed among professions. Similarities were seen through participants' recommendations for future professionals wishing to… Advisors/Committee Members: Carol A.

Empirical knowledge about sibling relationships of youth in foster care is scant. The purpose of this study was to explore sibling relationships of youth in foster care and begin to build a stronger understanding of the potential protective role these relationships can have for youth in an uncertain circumstance. Symbolic interaction was used as the theoretical lens for this mixed methods study. The sample consisted of children who are currently living in foster care and attended a five-day sibling enhancement camp, called Camp To Belong. The results indicated that sibling relationships could be a protective factor for youth in foster care. In a qualitative exploration of the meaning of sibling relationships of youth in foster care, youth reported that their sibling has a positive and protective role. Furthermore, youth reports of greater sibling warmth significantly predicted higher scores of individual resilience, a trait that is associated with overcoming adversity. Another aim of this study was to explore developmental differences of sibling relationships for those in foster care. The results of this study indicated that there were no significant differences between youth in middle childhood and adolescents in how they perceived their sibling relationship quality in terms of sibling warmth and sibling conflict. Lastly, youth in middle childhood and adolescence had a significant decrease in sibling conflict as a result of their participation in Camp To Belong. The results of this study have implications for research, clinical practice, and policy that are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to explore multiple research questions related to foster caregiver protective factors, satisfaction with fostering, and intent to continue fostering. First, the researcher identified what protective factors (i.e., parental resilience, social connections, concrete supports, and nurturing and attachment) foster caregivers report and to what degree. Second, the researcher determined whether there was a significant relationship between the independent variables (protective factors) and the dependent variables (satisfaction with fostering and intent to continue fostering). Next, the researcher examined whether child disruptive behaviors moderated or influenced the nature or strength of the relationship between protective factors and satisfaction as a caregiver. Third, the researcher examined a second model of whether child behaviors moderated or influenced the nature or strength of the relationship between protective factors and intent to continue fostering. The sample consisted of 155 licensed foster caregivers from across the United States. Descriptive statistics (i.e., means, standard deviations, range, internal consistency, skewness, kurtosis, and bivariate correlations), multiple regression, and interaction effects in multiple regression were used to test the various relationships proposed in this model. First, it was found that foster caregivers generally report a high degree of each protective factor. Second, there was a significant relationship between protective factors and two domains of satisfaction (challenging aspects of fostering and confidence and satisfaction). Third, child behaviors served as a significant moderator between some of the protective factors and two domains of satisfaction (challenging aspects of fostering and confidence and satisfaction). Implications for future research, practice, and policy were discussed.

Unplanned pregnancy is prevalent in the United States and has been linked to challenges for both mothers and their children over time. However, existing literature is limited by unrepresentative samples, retrospective reports of pregnancy intention, and lack of theoretical guidance. Studies have not yet identified mechanisms through which pregnancy intention is associated with children's outcomes, to sufficiently inform clinical practice. This current study addressed these limitations through inclusion of an at-risk sample of 224 first-time mothers from the Predicting and Preventing Neglect in Teen Mothers Study, assessing pregnancy intention during the third trimester of pregnancy, and testing mechanisms in the association between pregnancy intention and children's outcomes which were hypothesized by Family Systems Theory. The study also examined reciprocal associations among hypothesized mediators, including maternal depressive symptoms, parenting stress, and coparenting satisfaction. Mediation analyses revealed that both parenting stress and coparenting satisfaction when children were 24 months old served as mechanisms in the association between unplanned pregnancy and children's social-emotional competence at 36 months. Additionally, a cross-lagged longitudinal model suggested multiple pathways through which unplanned pregnancy was associated with children's externalizing, internalizing, dysregulation, and social-emotional competence at 36 months. Maternal depressive symptoms tended to predict later parenting stress which, in turn, was associated with later coparenting satisfaction and children's behavioral outcomes. Implications for future research are discussed, including collection of data from multiple respondents and assessment of pregnancy intention prospectively. Clinical implications for work with at-risk parents are also outlined. Specifically, the results suggest that early intervention with mothers experiencing unplanned pregnancies to specifically address depressive symptoms, parenting stress, and coparenting may serve to promote healthy outcomes among their children over time.

A six-group randomized experimental study was used to investigate the factors that are associated with a marriage and family therapist's decision to work with clients individually or as a couple when they present with intimate partner violence (IPV). Investigated factors included the type of IPV experienced by the clients, the therapist's accuracy in identifying the type of violence experienced by clients, and the therapist's experience with IPV in their own romantic relationships, as moderated by levels of differentiation. Participants included 275 members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. A chi square test revealed that participants who received vignettes portraying situational couple violence were more likely to endorse couples treatment as the preferred treatment modality than participants who received vignettes portraying intimate terrorism. Additional chi square tests revealed that among participants who received vignettes portraying situational couple violence, those who were accurately able to identify the type of violence portrayed in the vignette were more likely to endorse couples treatment as the preferred treatment modality than those who did not accurately identify the type of violence. Additional analyses, however, suggest that accurate identification and appropriate treatment choice may be more difficult in situations in which intimate terrorism is taking place, especially when women are the perpetrators of this abuse. Logistic regression indicated that there was not a significant relationship between therapists' personal experience with IPV and endorsement of treatment type. In addition, differentiation did not moderate the relationship between IPV experienced in participants' own romantic relationships and their endorsement of couples treatment. The current study indicates that marriage and family therapists are likely to make IPV treatment choices primarily based on the type of violence experienced by the couple. It appears that IPV treatment choice is not influenced by personal experience with IPV, but rather by the therapist's accurate identification of IPV type and the gender of the perpetrator of abuse. These findings ultimately highlight the need continued education on IPV, IPV types, gender biases with regards to IPV, and the importance of taking safety into consideration when making treatment decisions.

This study examined how family structure moderates the relationship between social capital and educational outcomes for those in two-parent families. Social capital and family structure were measured when participants were 12-14 years old, and a variety of educational outcomes were examined from high school dropout and completion through postsecondary degree completion. Social capital was measured as parental monitoring, parent-child relationship quality, and parent-school involvement. Specifically, this study compared those in stepfamilies to those in intact two-parent families. It also examined differences between mutual biological children in blended stepfamilies and biological children in intact two-parent families, as well as mutual children in blended stepfamilies and stepchildren in blended stepfamilies. Results indicated that those in simple stepfather and blended stepfamilies had poorer educational outcomes overall compared to those in intact two-parent families. Having a higher quality parent-child relationship was associated with greater likelihood of completing a postsecondary degree, greater total years of school completed, and greater highest degree completed. Findings supporting the moderation hypothesis were few. Living in a blended stepfamily moderated the relationships between parent-child relationship quality and high school completion and parent-school involvement and completing a bachelor's degree or higher. In both instances, the relationship was stronger for those in intact two-parent families than those in blended stepfamilies. Among children living with both biological parents, mutual children in blended stepfamilies were less likely to complete a postsecondary degree and had a lower highest degree completed than those in intact two-parent families. No significant differences were found for the educational outcomes of mutual children and stepchildren living in blended stepfamilies. Implications for future research and policy are discussed.

▼ Distressed relationships may be emotionally and economically costly to the couple, their families, and the community in which they reside. Given the current political endorsements, convenience, efficiency, capacity for prevention, and overall lower cost of psychoeducational workshops, they should be explored for efficacy. Are they providing the promoters and participants with a viable option? Is there a possibility to improve any part of these options for optimizing their effectiveness? Using a qualitative method in the Grounded Theory Tradition, this study explored the input of 14 participants who attended an eight-hour, one day, psychoeducational workshop. The workshop was based on a faithful presentation of Dr. John Gottman's couple's research. Attendees became "active participants" by agreeing to provide personal information about their relationships and offering their perspectives at scheduled intervals during the workshop. The participants were interviewed one month after the workshop to ascertain what, if anything, they had found to be useful about the workshop. Sampling was an opportunity sample open to couples ages 18 and over who were married or unmarried, having children or without children, and although only heterosexual couples responded, it was open to all sexual orientations. The findings obtained were triangulated consisting of written surveys from the participants, the researcher's field notes, and the participants' audio-taped post- intervention interviews. The following twelve themes emerged: 1) Communication, Acceptable; 2) Communication, Unacceptable; 3) Conflict, Resolved; 4) Conflict, Unresolved; 5) Connectedness; 6) Disconnectedness; 7) Family, Acceptable; 8) Family, Unacceptable; 9) Finances, Managed; 10) Finances, Unmanaged; 11) Planning, Acceptable; and 12) Planning, Unacceptable. Initially, the participants indicated that they were focused on improving their communication and conflict resolution skills, but their participation level and expressed interests in specific blocks of information appeared to change throughout the workshop day. The Gottman concepts which indicated higher participant interest were again indicated in the post-intervention interview responses. Post-intervention interview questions one through four were coded using the existing themes. The following ten themes emerged: 1) Communication, Acceptable; 2) Communication, Unacceptable; 3) Conflict, Resolved; 4) Conflict, Unresolved; 5) Connectedness; 6) Disconnectedness; 7) Family, Acceptable; 8) Family, Unacceptable; 9) Finances, Managed; and 10) Planning, Acceptable. The theme Connectedness was coded considerably more times than the others. Conflict Resolution and Communication, Acceptable were discussed by the participants very heavily along with Planning, Acceptable. Lastly, for post intervention interview question number five, the participants were asked to rank-order their answers to question three and four relative to their perceived usefulness. Their number one choices were coded using the existing themes and the… Advisors/Committee Members: Robert E.

Anxiety disorder treatment is less effective when individuals receiving treatment report committed romantic relationship distress. As such, many have argued that the need to adapt or develop couples based interventions for those with anxiety disorders. In order to effectively adapt these interventions, it is first necessary to create a method to more accurately identify those with anxiety disorders who would benefit from couples based interventions, and determine if those with anxiety disorders who would benefit from these interventions have relationship patterns that are different from those without anxiety disorders. One way to address both of these needs is by examining positive and negative components of committed romantic relationships and using these components to construct committed romantic relationship profiles. Using data from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, this study tested 1) if a two component measure of committed romantic relationship quality provides better fit than a one dimensional measure; 2) if those with anxiety disorders have committed romantic relationship profiles similar to those proposed by Fincham and Beach (2010); 3) if those with anxiety disorders are more likely to have negative profiles committed romantic relationship profile; and 4) if couples with anxiety disorders have a greater degree of negativity and a lesser degree of positivity in their relationships. Results demonstrate the measuring committed romantic relationship quality with positive and negative components provided a more valid measure than one dimensional measures, that the committed romantic relationship profiles of those with anxiety disorders are distinct from those proposed by Fincham and Beach, and that more negativity is reported in the committed romantic relationship of those with anxiety disorders when compared to those without.

▼ Problem/ Purpose: Delinquent behavior is a concern during the period of adolescence. In 2009, there were approximately 2 million arrests of youth under the age of 18 (Puzzachera & Adams, 2011). Although a majority of delinquent activity desists by late-adolescence (Agnew, 2003; Hirschi & Gottfredson, 1983; Moffitt, 1993), many adolescents continue this behavior into young adulthood (Hoeve et al., 2008; Mulvey, 2011; Piquero, Hawkins et al., 2012). Since, familial factors are one of the most important when considering delinquent behavior (Nye, 1958), this study explores how familial processes (e.g. parental control and parent-adolescent relationship) along with other factors relate to adolescent delinquency and young adult criminal behavior. Theoretical Framework: Social Learning Theory (Akers, 1973; Bandura, 1977), Baumrind's parenting typology (1965), Social Control Theory (Nye, 1958), and life course perspective (Elders, 1985) are used as theoretical guides in establishing a relationship between parental control, parent-adolescent relationships, delinquency, and criminal behavior. Methods/Design: This study used participant information concerning parental control, parent-adolescent relationship, delinquency, and criminal behavior from Waves I, II, and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Analysis: Negative binomial regression was used in conjunction with "Svy" estimation method in Stata to analyze the data. Results: It was found that parental control had a negative relationship with delinquency (b = -.048, 95% CI [-.087, -.008], exp(b) or OR =.954, p < .05) (H1). Also, a curvilinear relationship between parental control and delinquency was found (b = .029, 95% CI [.001, .056], OR =1.03, p < .05) (H2). Regarding covariates, older (b =-.048, 95% CI [-.077, -.019], OR = .953, p < .01) and female adolescents (b =-.665, 95% CI [-.748, -.582], OR = .514, p < .01) reported lower odds of engaging in delinquent behavior than younger and male adolescents. Latino (b= .272, 95% CI [.138, .405], OR =1.31, p < .01) and Asian (b= .220, 95% CI [.034, .406], OR =1.25, p < .01) adolescents reported higher odds of engaging in delinquent behavior than White adolescents. Adolescents who were living in a single mother family (b = .327, 95% CI [.226, .428], OR =1.39, p < .01), single father family (b= .613, 95% CI [.413, .812, OR =1.85, p < .01), stepfamily (b= .252, 95% CI [.149, .354], OR =1.29, p < .01), or other family structures (b =.300, 95% CI [.111, .489], OR =1.35, p < .01) reported higher odds of engaging in delinquent behavior than adolescents who were living in a two biological parent family.. Adolescents who reported more peer influence had higher odds of engaging in delinquent behavior (b= .100, 95% CI [.068, .131], OR =1.11, p < .01). Parental education was not significantly relate to adolescent delinquent behavior. No moderating effects were found by parent-adolescent relationship, gender, and race between parental control and delinquency. Delinquency was found to peak during… Advisors/Committee Members: Ming Cui (professor directing dissertation), Eric Stewart (university representative), Lenore McWey (committee member), Ronald Mullis (committee member).

▼ Transgender parents and their children are virtually invisible in the current literature. Little is known about child outcomes for children of transgender parents or about how transgender families negotiate the transition and subsequent stressors. The current study addressed this gap in the literature by using an adapted version of the ABC-X model and Family Stress Theory to determine if there were differences between transgender parents and their adult children in stressor pileup (A) (impact of disclosure, experience of stigma, and boundary ambiguity), resources (B) (social support and coping), perceptions of the event (C) (perceptions of PGT and sense of coherence), and overall family functioning (X). The present study also drew on past research with transgender individuals, lesbian and gay parents, and research on ambiguous loss to create a model of adaptation to parental gender transition. In addition to examining differences between transgender parents and their adult children on the variables of interest, this study had two main purposes: first, to examine how transgender parents who transitioned after they had children adapted to the stresses associated with PGT based on resources available to them and the perceptions of their transition and second, to investigate how adults who were children when their parents transitioned adapted to the stresses associated with PGT based on the resources available to them and their perceptions of PGT. Specifically, the level of stressor pileup, social support, coping, perception of PGT, and individual sense of coherence on family functioning were examined for each group. The sample was comprised of two groups of participants – transgender parents and adult children with transgender parents. There were 73 parents and 15 adult children from the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia. The sample was recruited through the use of a purposive sampling strategy designed to reach the target population through LGBT community centers, transgender listservs, LGBT listservs, transgender support groups, transgender organizations, other researchers and professionals working with the target population, and personal contacts. The author sent a recruitment letter and a link to the online survey to potential research participants and those who could send the information along to other potential participants through snowball sampling methods. The recruitment letter provided an explanation of the study, complete contact information for the researcher and the major professor, and a link to the website to complete the survey. Participants received a link that directed them to the appropriate survey (i.e. parent or child). Participants then read the online IRB approved consent form and indicated consent by moving forward with the survey. The survey consisted of demographic questions items that were taken from eight instruments used to measure the variables of interest in the study and the social desirability measure. The survey also included one open-ended question at the end to provide… Advisors/Committee Members: Carol A.
