▼ This thesis includes four manuscripts with overarching objectives to identify if Canadians experience unmet need for physiotherapy. McIntyre et al.’s framework was utilized across the manuscripts to explore reasons why unmet need may exist.
The first manuscript presents a scoping review investigating unmet need for physiotherapy across Canada. The objective was to describe current evidence for unmet need for community-based physiotherapy services (CBPTS). Adults with chronic conditions versus those without, or who lived in rural versus urban communities were more likely to report unmet need for CBPTS. Availability and affordability were identified as reasons for unmet need.
The second manuscript presents a secondary data analysis of three Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) cycles (2001, 2003, 2005) for three provinces: Ontario (ON), Alberta (AB), British Columbia (BC). This study investigated factors that explain variations in self-reported unmet needs of individuals with specific chronic conditions. Unmet need for treatment of a physical health problem (PHP) was the most common type of need in all three cycles. Affordability was the only domain with significant differences between cycles in two provinces. Women were less likely than men, and older persons less likely than persons 40 – 45 years, to report unmet need for treatment of a PHP.
The third manuscript analyzed CCHS data for ON, AB and BC to investigate which socio-demographic variables were associated with reporting a visit to a physiotherapist in three cycles. People with lower income were less likely to report a physiotherapy visit compared to people with higher income. Women, and individuals with an injury or physical activity limitation were more likely to report a physiotherapy visit.
The fourth manuscript presents themes from key informant interviews that explored the partial removal of physiotherapy from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (“delisting”). Partial delisting contributed to increased unmet need immediately following, and more than ten years post implementation. Longstanding unmet need due to affordability and availability was identified.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Physiotherapy is a health profession that works with people to help them stay healthy and maintain physical function. There are many people with chronic conditions who would benefit from receiving physiotherapy treatment, but are not able to do so. Three reasons that may explain why people do not receive physiotherapy are they: cannot afford to pay; cannot find a physiotherapist close to where they live or work; or they do not believe a physiotherapist will improve their health. This thesis includes four papers aimed at better understanding the reasons why people in three Canadian provinces, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, do not see a physiotherapist when their health would benefit from doing so. The results suggest that cost and the location where physiotherapy services are provided are reasons why some people do not receive…

У овом раду смо поставили циљ да истражимо
мотивацију председника Сједињених Америчких Држава као политичких
вођа и личности и покушали смо да је доведемо у везу са резултатима
које су постигли у току и након вршења те функције. Узорак нашег
истраживања чини 11 председника САД, у периоду од 1933. до 2001.
године. На основу претходних истраживања изабрали смо четири
мотива: мотив постигнућа, мотив моћи, мотив афилијације и мотив
аутономије. У складу са ранијим истраживањима, поставили смо и две
хипотезе: (1) да су мотиви постигнућа и моћи изражени код свих
председника из узорка и (2) да, у зависности од јачине
заступљености мотива афилијације, председници показују већи интерес
(а) за успостављање једнаких права и за (б) економско управљање и
благостање америчког народа и да, насупрот томе, ако је више
изражен мотив аутономије, неће имати позитивне резултате на тим
двема варијаблама. Прву хипотезу смо потврдили, док је друга
хипотеза одбачена. Наиме, установили смо да се мотивација
политичара о којима је реч развија на један начин док се не баве
политиком, а да, када постану политичари у Конгресу, Сенату,
гувернери и на крају председници САД, њихова улога постаје
политичка и мотиви се одсликавају кроз призму интереса и очувања
политичких позиција. То додаје нову димензију нашем истраживању
Наше хипотезе смо проверавали путем истраживања које је спровео
„C-SPAN“, у коме је 75 угледних историчара процењивало учинак
председника САД на варијаблама – једнака права за све и економско
управљање и благостање. Резултати истраживања указују на могућности
предикције понашања политичара уколико се разматра више фактора на
идндивидуалном нивоу у одређеној средини и друштвено-политичким
околностима, уз комбинацију различитих метода и мултидисциплинарни

▼ Thesis Abstract
Efforts to promote psychological well-being have been a concern for researchers.
While psychosocial factors have been identified as indicators of well-being, limited
research has been conducted on the effects of attachment styles and need satisfaction
on well-being. The present study examined the effects of need satisfaction
(autonomy, competence, and relatedness), on the relationship between secure
attachment and psychological well-being. The primary path of analyses predicted
that securely attached individuals will perceive greater need satisfaction in their life,
which in turn will lead to greater well-being. Undergraduate psychology students
attending California State University San Marcos who had experienced a romantic
relationship participated in this study. The hypothesis was not supported. Results
showed that need satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between dimensions
of attachment and well-being. The results have implications for mental health
professionals to develop interventions targeting those psychosocial factors among
students.
Key Words: Well-being, secure attachment, insecure attachment, Need-Satisfaction,
autonomy, competence, relatedness.
Subjects/Keywords: Attachment behavior; Need (Psychology)

▼ Physical inactivity is a prevalent problem in the United States associated with numerous health risk factors. Over half the population fails to meet prescribed physical activity recommendations, suggesting that individuals become less active as they age. It is important to observe individuals in the Physical Education setting because it is an ideal environment to provide meaningful physical activity, while promoting lifetime physical activity. This research sought to understand motivational behaviors in high school adolescents, attempting to draw links between physical education, student satisfaction, and leisure-time physical activity. Three research questions were present: (1) What relationships do high school student perceive among the motivational climate, basic psychological need satisfaction, and the quality and quantity of motivation? (2) What does quantity of motivation and quality of motivation in PE add to the understanding of student satisfaction in PE? and (3) Is there a trans-contextual relationship between the quality and quantity of motivation in PE and leisure-time physical activity? The study was grounded in self-determination theory and achievement goal theory, while adding a “quantity of motivation” variable, a degree of motivational strength. Two secondary schools were observed, an all-male school and an all-female school, with cross-sectional analysis through questionnaires. Hierarchical multiple linear regression models sough to predict quality and quantity of motivation from perceptions of motivational climate and basic need satisfaction. Also, quality and quantity of motivation, including an interaction term, was used to predict domains of student satisfaction. Initial findings suggested that perceptions of mastery climates, competence and relatedness need support were significant predictors of quantity and quality of motivation. Quality of motivation was a significant predictor of social, emotional, and fitness satisfaction in PE students, while quantity of motivation significantly predicted emotional and fitness satisfaction. The interaction term suggested that motivation quantity raised emotional satisfaction in students with low to average RAI levels with no variability at high RAI levels. These results suggest the importance of motivational quantity on various forms of satisfaction. Its inclusion in future research may discover more links between PE and motivational behavior, ultimately promoting more physical activity.

▼ This study explores the challenges faced by a military couple after a wartime deployment and incorporates responses from combat veterans including Vietnam, Panama, Kosovo, Somalia, the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Understanding the biological, psychological and social impact of combat deployment on active duty and/or military veterans and their significant others is vital to the care of the mental and physical health of our troops. Participants were members of a couple at the time of deployment and still together after the combat tour was completed. The questions pertain to the experiences and challenges participants faced when returning to the family environment after combat. They include areas of marital satisfaction, general contentment and peer interaction, and were answered on a Likert-scale survey. Also included were limited, non-identifying demographic questions. Key findings include a disruption of sleep patterns in combatants and a lack of interest in being busy or active, as might be indicated in a person who is depressed. The challenges associated with combat deployment and the readjustment difficulties for couples after the deployment are real, but there is a resistance to speaking of the problems. The most realistic arena for this research is within the military or the Veterans Administration, although this is also contraindicated by the culture of the military and the stigma associated with asking for help. As a society, civilians must continue to engage with military families and the mental health community has a duty to be prepared to provide services to this sector of the nation when called upon. The utilities and appropriateness of using questionnaire survey for this type of survey of the military families are also discussed.

▼ In modern day dentistry, aesthetics forms an integral part of our social perception
almost as much as functionality. Malocclusion has been brought to the forefront of
developmental anomalies as it can affect mastication, speech as well as the
appearance of the face. Furthermore, pre-pubertal and pubertal changes have
compounded existing malocclusions in this growth period thus spiraling the
need for
orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is essential to determine the normative and selfperceived
need for orthodontic treatment in a population. The epidemiological data
collected can be used to facilitate policy changes to manage malocclusion in Khomas,
Namibia.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to determine the orthodontic treatment needs of a
population of 12-15 year-old children attending a school in Khomas and to express it
as percentages of those with subjective and objective orthodontic treatment
need over
the whole sample population. The objectives were to find associations between
treatment needs and some demographic and socioeconomic factors.

The role of autobiographical memory in competence need satisfaction.

▼ According to previous work on autobiographical memory, reflecting on significant life episodes functions to support a positive self-concept (Bluck, Alea, Habermas, & Rubin, 2005; Conway, 1996; Fivush, 1998; McAdams, 1985) and facilitates emotion regulation (Bluck, 2003; Koole, 2009; Öner & Gülgöz, 2018; Wilson & Ross, 2003). As autobiographical memories have been linked with basic the psychological need for competence (Philippe, Koestner, Beaulieu-Pelletier, & Lecours, 2011; Sheldon, Elliot, Kim, & Kasser, 2001), the present project conducted three experiments to examine whether autobiographical memory can function to regulate competence need satisfaction.
Experiment 1 manipulated competence need satisfaction and tested whether reflecting on a competence-satisfying memory would be effective at improving competence need satisfaction for those who had it threatened. The results indicated that competence need satisfaction increased for individuals after they reflected on a time of competence success regardless of whether their need for competence had been threatened. Experiment 2 threatened competence need satisfaction for all participants and tested whether a need-relevant memory would be more effective at improving competence need satisfaction than a need-irrelevant memory. Additionally, Experiment 2 examined whether autobiographical memory would predict competence need satisfaction and in turn, affect, self-esteem and optimism. The results indicated that need-relevant memories were not necessary for improving need satisfaction; however, neutral memories did not contribute to need satisfaction and well-being to the same degree as competence-satisfying and relatedness-satisfying memories. Experiment 3 incorporated the same competence need satisfaction manipulation as Experiment 1, but gave participants an opportunity to choose the topic of a memory to report. The results indicated that participants were not more likely to select a competence-satisfying memory over a relatedness-satisfying memory; however, those who reflected on a competence-focused memory reported greater competence need satisfaction than those who reflected on a relationship-focused memory. Contrary to Experiment 2, the results of Experiment 3 were consistent with mediation effects, and provided support for the prediction that competence-focused memories predicted competence need satisfaction and in turn, well-being (positive affect, self-esteem, and optimism). The results of the present experiments highlight how autobiographical memory functions to satisfy basic psychological needs and well-being.

▼ Spirituality and religiosity can play key roles in individual lives through influencing health, social relationships, political views, as well as many other facets (Newberg, D'Aquili & Rause, 2001; Milevsky & Levitt, 2004; Hirsh, Walberg & Peterson, 2013). As important as religious and spiritual beliefs are to societies, cultures, and individuals, little is known about which psychological factors determine choices of faith. Although there are likely many determinants of religious, spiritual, atheist or agnostic beliefs, this study explored four possible factors: critical thinking skills,
need for cognition,
need for emotional comfort/security, and
need for closure. Participants included an undergraduate sample and a community sample. It was hypothesized that religious and spiritual individuals will have lower critical thinking skills, lower needs for cognition, higher needs for emotional comfort/security and higher needs for closure than agnostic and atheist individuals. Hypotheses also included potential interactions between these variables in predicting each faith path. Religiosity was measured using the I/E Religious Orientation Scale - Revised (Gorsuch & McPherson, 1989) and Spirituality was measured utilizing the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) (Fetzer Institute, 1999). These two faith paths were also self -reported by participants after definitions of each were provided. Atheist and Agnostic beliefs were only measured through self-report. Results indicated that both measures of logic (critical thinking skills and
need for cognition) and emotional comfort/security (
Need to Belong and Religious Motivations) predicted various faith paths. Limitations included sample characteristics and small numbers of Atheist and Agnostic individuals. A better understanding of the motivations for choosing either spiritual or non-spiritual paths may assist in further explanation of the multiple roles each faith choice plays in individual lives.

▼ A frequent criticism of state-sponsored HOPE-like merit-aid programs is that they “crowd out”
need-based aid within the state. If these programs were strong substitutes for
need-based aid, they would adversely affect low-income and historically disadvantaged minority students. This paper intends to empirically test this claim using state-level panel data from 1988 through 2002. Since the adoption of merit programs is not related to the amount of
need-based aid, this paper uses a natural experiment framework that compares the level of funding for
need-based aid in states with merit programs to other states. Merit programs are shown to have no effect on funding with a model that accounts for state and year fixed effects. Even when only merit programs funded from general, as opposed to dedicated, funds are compared to the control states, there is no indication that merit-based programs are directly or indirectly crowding out
need-based aid.

▼ Effective substance use services often fail to reach
many people experiencing drug or alcohol problems in the community.
Recognition of this large treatment gap has stimulated efforts to
better align service systems with existing population need. A
growing body of research assesses population need by estimating the
prevalence of substance use disorders using objective,
expert-defined measures. Subjective, consumer-derived need measures
have the potential to enhance this work and improve its relevance
for service planning, but it is unclear how frequently consumer
perspectives are incorporated into the literature on population
need for substance use services. Additionally, few studies have
assessed consumer perceptions of need amongst socially
marginalized, hidden populations, despite their increased
likelihood of experiencing substance use disorders and related
harm. In light of these knowledge gaps, this dissertation had two
broad objectives: (1) systematically describe and map the
literature on population need for substance use services; and (2)
examine consumer perceptions of service need among a sample of
street-involved people who use drugs. Two studies addressed these
objectives: a systematic scoping review assessing 1930 articles on
population need for substance use services, and a survey of 320
street-involved people who use drugs. The vast majority of research
on population need for substance use services prioritizes
objective, expert- determined need estimates, with only a small
fraction of studies reporting data on subjective need. Those
studies that do assess consumer perspectives have several
methodological and measurement weaknesses, including a tendency to
estimate need for one type of service only, which limit their
utility for system planning. When consumer perceptions are assessed
across several service categories, street-involved people who use
drugs report high rates of perceived unmet need and self-assessed
barriers to services. However, participants’ levels of unmet need
and barriers vary considerably across services, and socioeconomic
marginalization and problem severity increase the likelihood of
reporting unmet need for some services, but not others. Taken
together these findings imply that different factors both predict
and underlie perceived unmet need across various kinds of substance
use services, and that a large proportion of extant research may
not be capturing this complexity. There are a number of ways to
improve research on consumer perspectives and population need for
substance use services. In particular, the concept of subjective,
consumer-defined need should be further refined and standardized
instruments capable of assessing consumer perspectives across a
variety of substance use service categories should be developed.
This work is necessary to enable a more nuanced investigation of
factors underlying the substance use disorder treatment gap for
both general and hidden populations, and to improve the ability of
research in this area to inform substance use service planning.…

▼ Despite an increased understanding of the individual and contextual factors that influence both employee safety behavior and workplace safety incidents (e.g., injuries, accidents), there has been surprisingly little theoretical or empirical consideration of the individual employee's psychological experience of safety at work. Given that feeling safe is widely theorized to be a basic psychological
need with implications for individual well-being and safety-related work behavior, the purpose of this dissertation was to use cybernetic theory-a conceptual framework that explains self-regulation through negative feedback processes-to explore both the antecedents and outcomes of individuals' perceived safety at work. Theory-based hypotheses were tested in a field sample of 595 production employees and their foremen at three weapons production sites in the southern United States. Results revealed that psychological safety climate and perceived job risk were both meaningful correlates of workers' perceived safety whereas personality variables (i.e., trait anxiety, safety locus of control) and personal safety knowledge were not meaningful correlates. Consistent with cybernetic theory, lower perceived safety was associated with increased safety-related anxiety. However, contrary to theoretical expectations, safety-related anxiety did not share consistent, positive associations with self- or foreman-rated safety behaviors. There was limited support, however, which suggested that safety-related anxiety is positively associated with self-reported safety participation behaviors. The implications of these findings in conjunction with a number of explorative analyses are discussed and recommendations for future research are provided.

▼ Darbo tikslas - nustatyti tėvystės įgūdžių
lavinimo poreikį tėvų ir socialinių darbuotojų požiūriu. Teorinėje
dalyje analizuojama tėvystės samprata, šeimos funkcijos, auklėjimo
samprata šeimose. Išsiaiškinama, kokios yra tėvystės įgūdžių
lavinimo mokyklos, įvertinamas pagalbos šeimai procesas, socialinio
darbo galimybės tėvystės įgūdžių lavinimo procese. Analitinėje
baigiamojo darbo dalyje pateikiami ir analizuojami rezultatai
tyrimo, atlikto Telšių miesto įstaigose taikant, apklausos (tėvams)
ir interviu (socialiniams darbuotojams dirbantiems su šeimomis)
metodus. Nustatyta, kad tėvai jaučia psichologinės ir pedagoginės
informacijos trūkumą, tačiau mažai žino apie tėvystės lavinimo
programas. Jų poreikių tenkinimui reikėtų labai įvairaus pobūdžio
ir turinio tėvystės įgūdžių lavinimo programų, taip pat
akcentuotina, kad ne visuomet tėvai kritiškai vertina savo elgesį
ir teigia, kad jiems tokios programos nėra reikalingos. Socialiniai
darbuotojai nuolat susiduria su tėvais, kuriems reikia suteikti
pagalbą auklėjant vaikus. Socialiniai darbuotojai patys
neinicijuoja tėvystės įgūdžių lavinimo programų, tačiau teigia, kad
jos reikalingos ir turi būti rengiamos specialistų komandos ar
mokykloje dirbančių specialistų komandos. Taip pat nurodoma, kad
tokias programas įgyvendinti turėtų specialiai tam darbui ruošti
specialistai.
The aim of the project is to determine the
need for parental skills training from the viewpoint of parents and
social workers. The concept of parenthood, family functions and the
notion of upbringing in the family are analyzed in the theoretical
part. Attempts are made to find out parental skills training
schools, to evaluate the process of assisting a family and social
work possibilities in the process of parental skills training. The
analytical part deals with the results of the study carried out at
Telšiai town education establishments by applying the methods of
questioning (with respect to parents) and an interwiew (with
respect to social workers working with families). It is established
that parents feel lack of psychological and pedagogical information
but they know little about parenthood training programmes. The
satisfaction of their needs would require the parental skills
training programmes that differ greatly in nature and contents. It
is also pointed out that parents not always assess critically their
behaviour and state that such programmes are not necessary for
them. Social workers constantly encounter the parents who need
assistance in upbringing of children. The social workers themselves
do not initiate the programmes of parental skills training.
However, they state that they are necessary and specialist groups
or specialist teams working at schools should be trained. It is
also noted that such programmes should be developed by specialists

▼ Abstract
Background: About 222 million women in developing countries had unmet
need of
contraception. Women in their first year after childbirth had the largest proportion of unmet
need
for contraception. This first year after delivery is described as an extended postpartum period.
Objective: To determine the magnitude and factors associated with unmet
need among women
who are in extended postpartum in Tahtay Koraro Woreda, Tigray regional state, Ethiopia.
Methods: A cross sectional facility based study complemented by in-depth interview of key
informant was implemented. A total of 409 Women in the 1
VIII
st
year after delivery were recruited.
The study period was from 1
st
February to March 30, 2014. For quantitative data Epi-Info
version 3.5.4 software was used for data entry, and then data exported to SPSS Version 21
software for further analysis. Logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated
with the outcome variable. The transcribed and translated qualitative text data were imported into
an Open Code program and coded. Then codes were categorized and thematically described.
Results: The overall unmet
need for family planning was 150 (36.7%), with 121 (29.6%) for
spacing and 29 (7.1%) for limiting. One hundred twenty (29.3%) women were using family
planning. And 84 (70%) of them were using injectable. The commonest reasons for non-use of
FP were non-menstruating since last birth 201 (69.6%), side effects 39 (13.5%) and infrequent
sex 22 (7.6%). Rural residence (AOR=7.16, 95% CI 2.57-19.95), postpartum week (38-52 week;
AOR=8.71, 95% CI 3.90-19.44) and low perceived risk of pregnancy (AOR=1.79, 95% CI 1.043.09)
were significantly associated with high unmet
need. Opposition from different groups of
the community, low perceived risk of pregnancy, provider refusal of removal of implants and
misunderstanding of FP use and side effects were additional triggering factors for unmet
need.
Conclusion and Recommendation: The unmet
need for family planning was high. Rural
residence, increased maternal postpartum week and low perceived risk of pregnancy were
associated with high unmet
need. Opposition from different groups of the community and refusal
of implant removal were also other factors affecting unmet
need. Empowering women with
knowledge of the risk of pregnancy and FP use during extended postpartum period should be
enhanced. Further awareness creation should be extended to periphery at different levels of the
community

▼ Background: The number of patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases is increasing. Nurses frequently coach these patients, with medication as an important topic. Providing patients with information can improve satisfaction, which can result in higher medication adherence. The information currently given, may not be in accordance with patients’ needs.
Aim: To gain insight in the information
need concerning medication of patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases who are coached by nurses at an outpatient clinic of a general hospital.
Research questions: 1)What is the satisfaction of patients with provided information? 2)What is the extent of information desired? 3)How and by whom should information be presented?
Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling, at one out-patient clinic of a Dutch general hospital. Participants were diagnosed with coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease or peripheral arterial disease in the last year, aged ≥ 18 years and using ≥ one cardiovascular medication(s). The ‘Satisfaction with Information about Medicines Scale’ and the ‘Extent of Information Desired Scale’ were used to answer the questions.
Results: A sample of 36 patients was available. Twenty-five patients participated, 48% was non-satisfied with provided information and about 50% was tended to want more information. The hospital (doctor) and the general practitioner were preferred to present information.
Conclusion: Information must be improved to reach higher satisfaction rates. The extent of information and the preferred presentation differed within the population and confirmed that needs are a personally issue. More cooperation among healthcare workers and a constant dialogue with patients is recommended.
Recommendations: Research is recommend to investigate the information
need after the first year of sickness and of patients with different cardiovascular diseases. The use of measurement scales, to describe individual needs, can be investigated.

▼ The current study sought to clear up some of the
inherent ambiguity of touch’s meaning by examining the extent to
which a person’s state need for affiliation (SN-Aff) explains
differences in perceptions of a touch. Humans have competing needs
for affiliation (n-Aff) and personal space (Burgooon, 1978) and
people use personal space and the n-Aff to navigate and moderate
social interactions (Altman 1975, 1993). I propose that because
touch constrains personal space, response to touch depends upon the
touched person’s SN-Aff. In a high-impact behavioral study, a
confederate touched, leaned close to or got the attention of a
participant (n=262) after the participant’s SN-Aff was measured. A
series of self-report and behavioral dependent variables assessed
the effect of the touch, lean or shuffle. I predicted that the
higher a participant’s SN-Aff the more positively they would
interpret the interface, and more positive reactions would follow
as a result; the lower a participant’s SN-Aff the more negatively
they would interpret the interface, and more negative reactions
would follow as a result. The pattern of results supported the
predictions for the self-report variables, such that a
participant’s SN-Aff influenced the participants’ ratings of the
valence of the interface. Ratings of the interface in turn affected
ratings of the confederate’s personality, reported desires to
interact with the confederate in the short- and long-term, and
desire to escape the situation, and reported mood. Results suggest
that while the physical act of a touch may be ambiguous,
understanding a person’s SN-Aff needs may predict a person’s
reactions to that ambiguous touch.

▼ Public alarm concerning how well U.S. schools are performing in mathematics compared to other developed nations is increasing. Reports of inadequate teaching, poor curriculum design, and low performance on standardized test have been fueled by the media. These issues in American mathematics classrooms are far compounded in schools that serve the poorest in America. When comparing mathematical proficiency rates of U.S. schools with other countries, schools with less than 25% free and reduced lunch score competitively with counterparts in other countries. In contrast, schools with rates of free and reduced lunch higher than 50% score dismally in comparison. Conditions such as poorly trained teachers, lack of support, insufficient instructional programs, focus on low level skills, low expectations, overwhelming workloads, poor work conditions all contribute to the inferior level of instruction received by students in these schools. There are, however, schools that serve students of poverty that are beating the odds and performing on par and in some cases better than schools that serve more affluent students. To determine what can be reproduced elsewhere, this thesis take a look what is taking place in these schools: a demanding curriculum, implementation of problem solving, deep understanding and communication of mathematics, continual reworking of curriculum, using varied instructional practices, building relationships, and teacher leadership. For instructional practices to improve, teachers must step up and become leaders in the classroom to impact the environment and school culture. Six principles are discussed that are critical to making the changes necessary to impact student achievement in schools that serve the poor. To assist in the battle to improve instruction and student learning in schools that serve the poor, colleges and universities can play a critical role. This thesis describes the preliminary outcomes of two large-scale LSU projects at high need, high poverty schools in the Greater Baton Rouge area: the Pilot Professional Development Project and the Baker Project. It is hoped that the lessons learned will help others to start similar programs at one of the many schools that serve the poor that in dire need for help from higher education mathematics departments.

▼ Every single day in the United States, correctional
agencies release individuals back into the community. Depending on
the state, many of these individuals may be placed in halfway
houses as a mechanism for transitioning the offender back into the
community. There is no set model for halfway houses, and even
within the same state or operated by the same provider, the
programs and services, if available, will vary. Perhaps the only
requirement that all halfway houses share focuses on public safety
and adopting efforts to monitor and enforce community supervision
conditions. Despite this common thread, the costs for treatment and
programming are often limited and allocations for effective
programming and interventions can be a challenge for community
supervision. The current study examined the impact of dosage, use
of modeling and role playing, application of core correctional
practices, and targeting of criminogenic needs on a sample of 3281
Pennsylvania parolees who were directed to halfway houses following
their release from prison. While this sample is unique and this
group of offenders experienced high rates of recidivism, a few
findings emerged that offers empirical support for dosage and
criminogenic needs. In particular, adopting three to nine months of
programming and targeting the strongest dynamic predictors (e.g.,
antisocial attitudes, antisocial peers, and antisocial personality)
produced the greatest impact on recidivism. This study also offered
insight into the common targets of community programming and
supervision (e.g., employment, education, substance abuse) that are
relevant stabilizing factors for offenders, but collectively were
unable to produce the reductions in recidivism that were likely
hoped for. The implications for the current research may offer more
lessons learned for practitioners and policy makers about what
practices to avoid rather than adopt, or more ideally, what efforts
should take priority in order to improve offender
outcomes.

▼ Aim: Violence does not stop with age. There are many studies on the topic of domestic violence but few focus on the elderly and the role of the social worker in dealing with this issue. The purpose of this study is to analyse and describe how social workers in the field of gerontological social work are actively identifying cases of domestic abuse involving the elderly. Method: This study has a qualitative approach and the data has been gathered through ten semi structured interviews with social workers. The gathered material has been analysed through content analysis. Results: The result of the study highlights various means of identifying abuse such as asking direct questions about violence, asking for assistance by managers and other professionals, adapting the conversation with the client to the given situation, being watchful of physical or abstract signs of violence. In spite of these strategies, the analysis shows that organisational deficiencies puts a large responsibility burden on the individual social worker. Lack of adequate training and standardised questions leads to the social worker having to gather information themselves in order to perform their duties. Keywords: Social worker, elderlies, domestic violence, need assessment

▼ Tidigare studier har visat att inlärning genom övningstester med direkt feedback, så kallat testbaserat lärande, är effektivare än mer traditionella inlärningmetoder. Dessutom har personlighetsdrag visat sig påverka inlärningsstilar. Den aktuella studiens syfte var att replikera testbaserat lärande som metod och utvärdera personlighetsdragen Grit (uthållighet och passion för att nå sina mål) och Need for Cognition (viljan att kognitivt elaborera) i relation till testbaserat lärande. Vidare undersöktes om och hur testdeltagarnas upplevda ansträngning och svårighetsgrad i förhållande till testbaserat lärande hade något samband med prestationen. En kvasiexperimentell studie genomfördes där 44 gymnasieelever fick lära in och återge 30 ordpar på svenska/swahili. Hälften av deltagarna tilldelades testbaserat lärande som inlärningsmetod medan resterande tilldelades traditionell omläsning som inlärningsmetod. Studiens resultat styrker att testbaserad inlärning är en robust inlärningsteknink som inte påverkas av personlighetsdragen Grit och Need for Cognition. Dessutom framkommer tvetydiga resultat angående huruvida en högre grad av upplevd ansträngning leder till bättre minnesprestation. Framtida forskning med större stickprov behövs för att vidare utforska och eventuellt styrka resultaten.
Previous studies have shown that learning by practice tests with direct feedback, so-called test-enhanced learning, is more effective than traditional methods of learning. Moreover, personality traits have been shown to affect learning styles. The aim of the present study was to evaluate test-enhanced learning and the personality traits Grit (persistence and passion to achieve ones goals) and Need for Cognition (an individual’s tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful thinking) in relation to test-enhanced learning. It was further examined if and how test participants’ perceived exertion and difficulty in relation to test-enhanced learning affected performance. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in which 44 high school students had to learn and reproduce 30 Swedish/Swahili word pairs. Half of the participants were assigned test-enhanced learning as a learning method, while the remainder was assigned traditional rereading as their learning method. The results of the study support the earlier findings in that test-enhanced learning is a robust learning method. The results also indicate that test-enhanced learning is not influenced by the personality traits Grit and Need for Cognition. Furthermore, ambiguous results were found regarding whether a higher degree of perceived exertion leads to better memory performance. Additional research with larger samples is needed to further explore and possibly support these results.

▼ Not all individuals may be equally susceptible to design fixation. I sought to identify characteristics that could predict and affect individual tendency for design fixation, and explored the use of Kruglanski’s Need for Closure Scale for this purpose. The Need for Closure Scale is an individual/dispositional difference variable, as well as an environmental variable that can be manipulated in the laboratory. I devised two experiments that involved developing concepts for which an example solution was provided. The first experiment investigated whether correlations exist between participants’ score on the Need for Closure Scale and the degree of fixation in concepts elicited. A pilot experiment and second experiment investigated whether environmentally-induced Need for Closure could be used to change participants’ likelihood to fixate. Significant results were found in the first and second experiments, supporting that Need for Closure can be used to predict and affect individual tendency for design fixation.

▼ Midlife years (age 40-60) are a critical time period for many women because of elevated risk of overweight and obesity. Women often experience age-related weight gain based on both physiological and environmental changes that occur with age. The physiological changes experienced by women can contribute to weight gain, but weight gain can also be due to both environmental and behavioral factors that influence eating behavior. This project was based on a multidisciplinary approach involving nutrition and marketing expertise to address the situational context of eating occasions. The project was conducted in two phases; a descriptive research phase (Phase I) which provided information to inform the development of a controlled intervention phase (Phase II). The objective of the descriptive research phase I was to identify distinct need states based on rational and emotional needs surrounding specific eating occasions experienced by midlife women and determine how eating behavior including energy, food and nutrient intakes, and BMI differed by need state. Data from 5,556 eating occasions experienced by a US national sample of 1,663 women (40-60 years) were used in the segmentation analysis. Six need states were identified: healthy express, comforting interludes, indulgent escapes, nurturing family meals, sensible meals, and fast fueling. Each of the six need states had different energy and food and nutrient intake characteristics. The objective of the controlled-intervention phase II was to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition counseling intervention tailored to eating occasion need states to prevent weight gain compared to a control group of midlife women. Participants in the intervention group received ten hours of nutrition counseling over six months based on commonly experienced needs within specific eating occasions. The control group received no counseling. Although not significant, women in the intervention group gained 0.2 kg over the two year period, while women in the control group gained 0.4 kg. Energy intake did not differ significantly between the intervention and control group at any time point, however decreases were observed in total- (p=0.02) and saturated fat intakes (p=0.06), and cholesterol (p=0.01) intake over the two-year period in the intervention compared to control group. Over the two-year period compared to the control group, the intervention group increased intakes of fruit (p=0.02) and low/reduced fat dairy products (p=0.04) and decreased intakes of sugars and candy (p=0.002). Subgroup analyses of women experiencing less-healthy need states (intervention n=71; control n=59) showed results similar to the overall sample regarding weight change. Subgroup analyses of overweight and obese women (Intervention n=116; Control n=103) showed different patterns of change with weight decreasing in the intervention group (86.0 to 85.5 kg) and increasing in the control group (82.8 to 83.4 kg). This study provides evidence that tailoring nutrition education according to most frequently…

▼ National, cross-sectional data collected over the past 40 years indicate an increase in the average weight of midlife women (40-60 years). Recent trends for more frequent snacking and stress-related eating may increase risk for weight gain, which is associated with risk of chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to better understand indulgent snacking occasions among midlife women (n=414) and to evaluate if these occasions, including the attitudes and contextual environment surrounding them, differed by weight status (normal, overweight, or obese). Data collected as a part of a larger study included one-day food records and surveys to assess attitudes and contextual environment. This thesis project tested the hypothesis that both macro- and micro-nutrient intake and food group intakes would vary by weight status with normal weight women displaying healthier consumption characteristics compared to overweight and obese women; however, the observed patterns did not fit these expectations. Significant differences were observed between weight status groups for energy intake and several macro- and micro-nutrient intakes, but these differences did not correspond with differences in food group intakes. Normal weight women tried fewer weight maintenance strategies and had higher weight self-efficacy scores than overweight and obese women. Normal weight women were also more likely to have positive attitudes toward food in general, whereas obese women were more likely to have less healthy attitudes, using food as an escape from emotion or as a coping mechanism for boredom. In addition to food intake, the findings suggest that attitudes and motivations surrounding food may also be important with regard to achieving a healthy weight. Health care professionals should consider snacking habits, as well as motivations and attitudes related to food, when advising midlife women on weight status issues.

▼ While many disciplines have formally recognized and explicated the significance of “need” for their areas of study, such focus on this concept has not been undertaken theologically. Given the particular work of analytic philosophers on this concept, this project seeks to rigorously define
need in ways informed by both analytic philosophy and biblical studies in order to contribute to theological anthropology.
At root then, this project proposes that humans were intended for incompleteness—a
need without lack. On this understanding,
need is dispositional and inseparable from a creature’s ontology. Further, this
need was intended to be discovered in a context of abundance, an abundance of what would continually meet this
need: God’s personal presence. The realization of this incompletion would involve dynamic growth, such that the dispositional
need to be in a relation of dependence upon the personal divine presence would require ongoing fulfillment. Thus, this
need was not intrinsically an imperfection, but an incompleteness integral to what it means to be human. While being incomplete is typically understood negatively, on this view such
need is indicative of what it means to be human.
In order to make these claims, the aims of this thesis are thus threefold: first, to highlight the exegetical significance of divine presence for understanding anthropology—providing a sort of minimalism which any anthropology must include; second, to analytically appropriate that significance through the technical concept of fundamental
need; and third, to apply this technical concept to the task of constructing a pneumatologically-Christocentric anthropology.

▼ Problem: The overall aim of this research program was to further our understanding of motivational processes that predict well-being. The theoretical focus was the self-concordance model of healthy goal striving, which includes the variables of goal self-concordance, sustained effort, goal attainment,
need satisfaction, and well-being. Studies 1 to 4 tested this model using a new methodology, and also extended the model. The focus of Study 5 was to experimentally test a manipulation of the “sustained effort” component of the model. Methods and Results: All participants were students in introductory psychology units at The University of New South Wales, who participated for course credit. Study 1 tested the robustness of the model by utilizing retrospective ratings regarding the most important goal in the past four weeks. Appropriate goodness of fit indices for the model were found. In Study 2, the argument was made for direct links to
need satisfaction from self-concordance and from sustained effort, and appropriate goodness of fit was found for this modified model. In Study 3, the argument was made for a new variable to be inserted between goal attainment and
need satisfaction: personal growth interpretation (PGI) of goal attainment. The PGI Scale was constructed to measure this variable, and then a portion of the model containing this new variable was tested and found to have appropriate goodness of fit. In Study 4, the entire modified model was tested and found to have appropriate goodness of fit. In Study 5, the effectiveness of a goal intervention program, which within the framework of the model focuses on improving the quality of goal-striving behaviour (sustained effort), was experimentally tested in relation to goal attainment. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group was asked to apply the program in helping them achieve their most important self-concordant goal over a one week period. The experimental group rated goal attainment and
need satisfaction more highly than did the control group. Conclusion: The four model-fitting studies highlight the important role of psychological processes such as construal in the conative processes that predict subjective well-being. The final experimental study points to opportunities to further test the theoretical model in the context of developing strategies to improve well-being through motivational processes.

▼ Research supports rehabilitative programming addressing youths’ risk to reoffend, criminogenic needs and responsivity factors with the goal of reducing reoffending. However, the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) framework takes a ‘gender neutral’ approach that critics assert overlooks the unique needs of females. It remains largely unknown whether matching treatment to RNR needs is as effective for female youth as it has been shown to be for male youth. Comparative analyses of 39 male and 37 female justice system-involved youth indicate that across RNR categories, females and males were similar in quality and quantity of needs, and had them met through probation services at a similar rate. However, while the RNR assessment tool predicted risk for recidivism equally well, the matching of services to RNR needs appears to be far more potent in reducing recidivism for boys than girls, suggesting a moderating effect of sex on the relationship between RNR matched treatment and re-offending.

▼ This study sought to broaden and update the demography, attitudes, motives, outcomes and commitment of volunteers using a functional approach. A variation of Clary et al.'s (1998) Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) was administered to organizational volunteer samples in the mid-Missouri area. Electronic questionnaires were disseminated to each of the samples over the summer of 2011. Demographic results were consistent with previous studies, which portrayed the general volunteer as white, middle aged, highly-educated, financially stable and female. In terms of motivation and outcomes, the values function was considered the most important driving force and outcome for voluntary activity. The functional constructs of understanding, self-enhancement, social, career and ego-protection were also present in secondary varying order among organizations. Volunteers from these samples were also highly ambitious to continue volunteering one full year in the future and were not overtly influenced by organizational intent. Though the results of this study are not fully representative of the complete administration of the VFI or to all volunteers and locales, they do help reaffirm previously obtained findings that used a similar functional approach and shed light on a few additional nuances toward the investigation of volunteerism.

▼ Research on
need for closure (NFC) has highlighted the effects of uncertainty on motivational processes and decision-making abilities.
Need for closure has been found to influence how people seek, use, and communicate information to form judgments and make decisions. The depth of the information search is affected by
need for closure, which influences the quality of decisions made. People with high NFC tend to make quick but low-quality judgments and decisions based on inconclusive evidence because of their aversion to ambiguity and uncertainty. In a team setting,
need for closure has been found to affect how team members communicate information and form judgments and decisions. Teams with high NFC are motivated to reach a consensus, reject deviating opinions, resist change, and rely on easily accessible knowledge to make decisions. Together, the consequence of high NFC for both individuals and teams is that they make quick but poor decisions. Research on checklists in the medical field has shown to reduce mistakes, encourage teamwork, and improve communication. To reduce the effects of NFC, I propose that checklists can be used to improve teamwork and communication while solving problems under pressure. In this dissertation, I used Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, a video game that requires two people to work together to disarm bombs by solving various puzzles under time pressure. In Experiment 1, I showed that the experimental checklist designed for this study can be used to reduce the influence of NFC and increase team performance. In Experiment 2, I did not find evidence that the experimental checklist and fear of invalidity reduced the effects of NFC. Qualitative analysis of the team’s interactions during gameplay revealed behaviors that relate to NFC and team performance. In this dissertation, I argue that research on motivation can benefit by studying the interventions designed and used by real-world teams for reducing uncertainty and improving human performance. I also discuss the limitations of both studies and suggest recommendations for future studies on advancing the literature on NFC

▼ In order to meet our needs, consumer always believe that the more wild of selection, the better to choose the best of us. One such assumption is the regularity principle, which asserts that the addition of a new option to the choice set should not increase the probability of choosing any of the original options (Luce 1977). Clearly, both the attraction and compromise effects reflect an increase in the share of the target option after adding a third option. It implies that a new option added to a given set should take shares from existing options in proportion to their original shares.
In fact, not all of the consumers react to these "third option" in the same level, because of the different personality traits , everyone have different thoughts even they get the same message. So, we want to know the impact of personality traits on compromise and attraction effects, and the intensity of those effects.
We choose âself-confidenceâ, â
need for cognitionâ, â
need for uniquenessâ, âlocus of controlâ, and âself-monitoringâ to test the compromise and attraction effects, and we found that people with âlow
need for uniquenessâ had the strongest compromise effect; and with âhigh
need for cognitionâ had the strongest attraction effect. In addition, âhigh self-confidenceâ, âhigh
need for cognitionâ, âhigh
need for uniquenessâ, and âlow self-monitoringâ groups only exist attraction effect but compromise effect; âlow self-confidenceâ, âlow
need for cognitionâ, âlow
need for uniquenessâ and âhigh self-monitoringâ groups react not only on attraction effect, but on compromise effect.

▼ This study examined personality response distortion based on an individual‟s job desire within a personnel selection scenario. The aim was to determine the extent to which job desire affected individuals‟ responses to a personality assessment. Numerous researchers have studied individuals‟ choices and thought processes that lead to response distortion (Ellingson & McFarland, 2011; McFarland & Ryan, 2000; Snell, Sydell, & Lueke, 1999). Although one determinant that has been proposed is the concept of an individual‟s perceived job desire, little research has been conducted relating to this. Job desire was defined as an individual‟s motivation and passion for a position being applied for. As the study inferred individual‟s job desire from their motivation, individual‟s growth
need strength (GNS) and
need for achievement (nAch) measures were also assessed.
Ninety-four participants were subjected to two conditions: one a situation of high job desire and one a situation of low job desire. Responses to a measure of the Big Five personality dimensions (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability), GNS and nAch were assessed and compared between the two conditions. The findings suggest that job desire affected the individuals‟ pattern of response. Participants responded more positively within the high job desire condition in regards to all five personality dimensions and nAch. Significant correlations occurred between GNS and openness to experience and emotional stability and nAch significantly correlated with openness to experience and conscientiousness.
If an individual possesses high job desire, they are more likely to respond more positively on a personality assessment. The increase in response means from low to high job desire could be related to item transparency. High job desire may motivate the individual to think about the items more to determine the desired correct response. In addition, individuals who change their behaviour depending on the situation are thought to have a higher functional awareness of what is needed. The results indicated that personality assessments are affected by response distortion raising possible consequences relating to personnel selection. Hiring managers may benefit from using use personality assessments in conjunction with other appropriate selection methods tools to cross-reference the self-report measure. Further investigation of an individual‟s job desire is recommended to confirm which personality dimensions are most affected by response distortion. Additionally, further exploration of whether it is possible to assess an applicant‟s job desire may be warranted.
