▼ Unlike mere technological devices, wearable technology is complex, since it is considered both a device and a garment, integrating attributes of clothing and technology with the human wearer. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various factors that influence acceptance of wearable technology, specifically, solar-powered clothing. Solar-powered clothing was chosen as the topic of this research due to the increasing focus and development of the product by researchers (Cho, 2010; Schubert & Merz, 2009) and the pro-environmental attributes of the product. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study extended the model and examined the effects of seven consumer-oriented variables on consumers' attitudes towards purchase intentions for solar-powered clothing: TAM variables (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use), perceived performance risk, Functional, Expressive, Aesthetic (FEA) elements of clothing (perceived comfort, perceived compatibility, and perceived aesthetic attributes), and environmental concerns. Further, this study examined the differences between Gen Y and Baby Boomer on their perceptions and attitudes towards purchasing solar-powered clothing; these two groups were selected, because both groups have been of significant interest to social psychologists as well as marketers in the past (Morris & Venkatesha, 2000). A convenience sample of college students and faculty at one of the United States mid-western universities was recruited for the web-based survey with both open and closed-ended questions. The sample for this study consisted of 18-33 year olds and of 50-65 year olds, both male and female, who were in the bracket of targeted ages for Gen Y and Baby Boomer generations. A total of 720 useable responses was selected from the returned questionnaires based on the completion of the questionnaire for data analysis. Multiple linear regression, simple linear regression, and independent samples t-test were used to test the research hypotheses along with a thematic analysis of open-ended responses. The results revealed that both dimensions of technology acceptance and clothing attributes are important factors influencing acceptance of solar-powered clothing. Specifically, perceived usefulness and perceived performance risk from the dimensions of technology acceptance significantly influenced consumers' attitudes towards purchasing solar-powered clothing. From the FEA dimensions of clothing, perceived comfort and perceived compatibility showed significant positive effects. Further, environmental concerns also positively influenced consumers' attitudes towards purchasing solar-powered clothing. Contrary to expectations, the perceived ease of use and perceived aesthetic attributes did not have significant effects on attitude. In terms of comparing Baby Boomers and Gen Y, all of the variables except perceived ease of use and perceived performance risks showed significant differences. Examining the effects of various consumer-oriented variables contribute to the growing…

▼ Sexual history taking is the clinical practice of collecting information about patients’ sexual health. Despite the availability of guidelines for conducting a sexual history, variability in the documentation of sexual histories exists. In addition to documentation, the literature on sexual histories is limited to their content, barriers to collecting them, and interventions to improve their documentation and health care providers’ comfort and confidence in taking them. Additionally, the methods used to explore sexual history taking have been homogeneous. Absent from this literature is an in-depth understanding of the contextual factors affecting the collection of sexual history data as well as how health care providers evaluate and use sexual history data. To address these gaps in the literature, a focused ethnography of one health center was conducted. Guided by the theoretical perspectives of symbolic interactionism and the theory of culture care diversity and universality, data were collected primarily through passive observations of health care encounters between patients and health care providers and through individual interviews with health care providers. Over the course of approximately eight months of fieldwork, no specific sexual history taking was observed during health care encounters; this was likely influenced by the characteristics of the patients, communication between patients and health care providers, the prioritization of patients’ basic needs, and time constraints imposed upon encounters. By using a methodology not previously employed to study sexual history taking, this study adds to the evidence that sexual history taking may not routinely occur in a primary care practice setting. Given that the organization studied serves many patients who are homeless and who have concomitant mental health and opioid dependence concerns, the findings illuminate areas for future inquiry into a patient population at risk for adverse sexual health outcomes, and reinforces the need for routine sexual history taking.

▼ I explain why individuals are selecting entrepreneurship at an accelerating rate, particularly given known and consistently high failure rates. The underlying research question addresses how the social context relates to the fulfillment of the individual’s objectives, and what kind of social environment is being generated by that behavior. I use a consumption framework to explain new venture creation as a process of individual choice under conditions of mutual influence (Douglas and Isherwood, 1996 [1979]:100). Consumption is thus thought of here as a symbolic system able to be read through the pattern found in the use of a good, at the front-end of a process of value creation. The ethnographic object in this research is the scalable new venture, and its association with the rituals which surround it, and the organization and structure which support it. My data is based on approximately 3 years of fieldwork spent with entrepreneurs building scalable new ventures. The context for this research includes conditions of growing inter-relatedness linked in part to technological change, associated with an increase in the individual search for differentiation and competitive advantage. My research findings unpack a ritual of interaction, the pitch, associated with new venture creation. The pitch is defined as a communication meant to communicate an entrepreneur’s vision and at the same time raise capital. I explain the ways in which the good expressed in ritualized activity, in the pitch, is both singularized and commodified, in a larger framework of macro level change. My research findings also explain how change in organization, taking place in the global incubators and accelerators where new ventures are supported, is associated with change in the relation to space, time, and duration. I conclude with a discussion of entrepreneurship as a function and vehicle of social change in terms of both globalization and speciation. This represents a significant area for ongoing research as entrepreneurship continues to increase and new groups are formed, legitimizing both new forms of difference and new forms and forums of integration.

▼ Social network analysis seeks to understand the structure of relationships in networks of actors. As researchers identify structural properties of interest (e.g. vulnerability to network cuts) they introduce measures to quantify the expression of those properties in observed networks. In fact, it is not uncommon that multiple measures are introduced purporting to evaluate a single property. Relative merits of competing measures are not self-evident but the corresponding inferences can conflict, encouraging arbitrary choice among measures and endangering the validity of conclusions. We argue (i) that multiplicity of measures is a necessary consequence of the de rigueur practice of conflating different facets of actor association as “tie strength,” and (ii) that distinguishing among distinct facets of tie strength, the primitive unit of Social Network data, implies choices among measures used for other properties. In particular, distinct types of association data (e.g. frequency of contact, emotional depth) must be given distinct mathematical treatment. Hence multiplicity of structural property measures can be reduced to and solved as a problem of multiplicity of treatments for ties. To this end we propose a general framework for evaluation of paths in terms of their ties and introduce novel measures of network connectedness in terms of ties. A key feature of one measure, which we call social conductivity or sconductivity, is its simultaneous accounting for all paths of connection between nodes, which we believe is novel. We discuss the relationship between dimensions of tie strength and appropriate choices from our path-evaluation framework, and show how these choices map bijectively with choices among measures of other structural properties. We conclude by demonstrating the application of the method to the analysis of a network dataset. The methods described have been implemented in an open source software package and published on the Comprehensive R Archive Network. Advisors/Committee Members: Marjorie Darrah, Roxann Humbert.

▼ Youth participation in meaningful and purposive civic organizations and activities not only impacts the participants’ development, but also influences their involvement in their communities both today and in the future. The combination of the two studies included in this dissertation examine just that. Both studies were conducted utilizing original research by the author utilizing the frameworks of Positive Youth Development (PYD) and experiential learning. The first study is a program evaluation of the Iowa State 4-H Council, assessing the participants’ outcomes in the common measure Life Skill constructs critical to the development of civically engaged individuals, including: citizenship, communication, leadership, and learning skills. These outcomes were identified through responses by the youth on a set of common Life Skill measures, as well as selected open-ended questions. Study two examines the development of civic engagement or citizenship skills and contribution among youth or adolescents as part of PYD and explores the long-term civic engagement impact of those experiences for participating individuals. The members of the study are now young adults reflecting on and connecting their youth experiences to their involvement today. This was conducted through a phenomenological approach utilizing interviews of fourteen former State 4-H Council members now 25-35 years-old. One can observe themes between the two studies in regard to the development of civic engagement and leadership within youth and the identified best practices to foster that development. The State 4-H Council is one unique experience, but can play a significant role in crystallizing and increasing the depth of skill and learning from the opportunities youth have had at a local level by expanding the scope of responsibility for participants. Empowering youth to have a voice and share in decision-making builds confidence in the youth themselves and their ability to make decisions, regardless of the PYD organization or group the youth belonged. Additionally, it gives them real and meaningful practice in doing so in ways that are significant and long-lasting. It also develops a life-long commitment and belief that not only can make a difference in their communities and beyond, but in fact, they should.

▼ Feminist researchers have recently highlighted the need to revive patriarchy as a theoretical tool in regards to violence against women. Patriarchy is typically considered to be a structural concept, but a theory of patriarchy for violence against women must also include an individual-level component of patriarchal ideology. Patriarchal ideology has not been clearly conceptualized and is rarely operationalized. Very little research has assessed patriarchal ideology as a dependent variable and almost none has done this longitudinally. This research aims to fills these gaps. The current study also seeks to identify significant predictors of change in patriarchal ideology, an issue of tremendous importance for a theory of violence against women. Stronger theories that can appropriately incorporate patriarchy may lead to more effective proactive policies rather than the existing reactive policies based on poor theoretical understanding. The data used for this dissertation comes from the Longitudinal Study of Violence against Women: Victimization and Perpetration among College Students in a State-Supported University in the United States, 1990-1995 (White, Smith, and Humphrey 2001). Since the data was from a sample of college men, the first wave of data is just before individuals transitioned into college. This was followed by three subsequent waves of data assessing patriarchal ideology after the first, second, and third years of college. Because of the various challenges posed by longitudinal data and specific challenges posed by this data, two major analyses were performed. The main goals of these analyses were to: come up with reliable operational measures of patriarchal ideology, determine their measurement invariance over time, assess predictors of patriarchal ideology, evaluate the change/stability in patriarchal ideology, and account for the predictors of change/stability. The first major analysis operationalized individual patriarchal ideology using attitudinal measures over two waves of data in a traditional test/re-test panel design. The second major analysis operationalized patriarchal ideology using vignettes that were proxy measures of patriarchal ideology over three waves of data. Latent growth-curve modeling was used in order to assess the intra-individual and inter-individual changes in patriarchal ideology over time. The analyses were the first of their kind to assess patriarchal ideology as an outcome variable overtime. Overall, findings suggest patriarchal ideology is a multidimensional concept that can be measured using attitudinal measures and vignettes, with some support suggesting vignettes may be preferred. During the transition from precollege to the end of one's freshman year, patriarchal ideology was stable. After this time period, over the next three years of college patriarchal ideology declined for the sample as a whole. Interestingly, there was inter-individual change but no infra-individual change in patriarchal ideology. The means that regardless of one's initial levels… Advisors/Committee Members: Dianne C.

▼ A substantial body of literature about Indigenous experiences regarding the boarding school and residential school systems in the US and Canada, respectively, does exist. Both federal governments’ intentions were to Christianize, assimilate, and “civilize” students who attended these schools. Most Indigenous educational research is centered in either an American or Canadian context, and the colonial education of Indigenous peoples is rarely discussed as a collective experience. This colonial education occurred in tandem, in both countries, and its legacy severely impacted Indigenous students by separating them from their families and communities and stripping them of their Indigenous identities and lifeways. Furthermore, there have been few researchers who have examined the longtime and generational impacts of these institutions on the lives of students’ descendants. This study is two-fold. First, it examines and compares Indigenous education in Canada and the United States. Second, it focuses on Indigenous university students’ (RS Survivors’ descendants) perspectives of this legacy, and the ongoing effects which weaves together the American and Canadian RS history. Indigenous university students’ personal stories were analyzed using interviews, group discussions, and individual photovoice projects. The generational impacts of colonial education have sometimes been described as soul wounds that have led to persistent scars often referred to as historical unresolved grief and/or intergenerational trauma. This study examined historical unresolved grief and intergenerational trauma that Indigenous university students experienced during their academic journeys. The history of colonial education on Indigenous peoples is a lived experience and comes to life when Indigenous students learn or re-learn more historical details during their academic studies. I developed colliding heartwork, a research framework, that is based upon interviews and other findings that helps to facilitate the emotional and mental work needed to learn, discuss, heal, and support Indigenous students regarding the continuing aftermath of boarding and residential schools.

▼ Environmental stressors, anything that poses a threat to human and environmental health, are disproportionately located in marginalized communities. Coal extraction companies produce and concentrate environmental stressors in Central Appalachia, a sub-region of Appalachia with high poverty rates and economic hardship. Through destructive coal extraction methods, the coal industry has jeopardized Central Appalachian health and environmental quality. The coal industry’s power to cause destruction in Central Appalachia is a product of historical strategic initiatives. Since the late 1800s, the coal industry has forcefully altered the culture and ideology of Central Appalachians and developed relationships with local, state, and federal policymakers to deter policy that threatens extraction. Thus, coal companies can cause environmental disasters with minimal backlash from Central Appalachians and policymakers. This research used an environmental justice framework, alongside a framework of resiliency, to understand the human response following two coal-based disasters in Martin County, Kentucky, a Central Appalachian county. The first disaster occurred on October 11, 2000, when a coal impoundment ruptured and discharged over 300 million gallons of coal slurry into Martin County. The second disaster is the gradual deterioration of Martin County’s water infrastructure over time. This research used grounded theory methods to understand personal experiences of each disaster, feelings towards external assistance, and how residents viewed resiliency in their community. More specifically, this research collected data from 22 semi-structured interviews with vocal residents and observations at four public water meetings. Findings suggest the coal industry, a silent community, and the lack of political oversight influenced historical adaptation of coal-based environmental stressors. Thus, findings further suggest coal’s exodus from Central Appalachia engendered community support to resist long-term adaptation of coal-based environmental stressors. Furthermore, these findings inform a path for understanding the broader Central Appalachian region.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the differences that may exist between two identified groups of older African American women: (1) light to moderate consumers of alcohol, and (2) abstainers from alcohol. Within these two groups are four subgroups of women that were studied: (1) abstainers with high social support, (2) abstainers with low social support, (3) light to moderate consumers of alcohol with high social support, and (4) light to moderate consumers of alcohol with low social support. Through a contact-and-referral technique, a purposive sample of 97 African American women who were 65 years and over living in a moderate size Midwestern urban community was investigated during the fall of 1999. Measures utilized in this study consisted of one sociodemographic questionnaire and four self-report assessment instruments: the Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE), to assess a person’s cognitive mental status; the sociodemographic form, developed by the researcher to gather demographic data; the Center fo r Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), to measure depressive symptoms; the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test-Geriatric Version (MAST-G), to determine alcohol consumption levels; and the Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB), to assess how often individuals received various forms of social support during the preceding month. Two-tailed t tests and chi-square tests were used in the study. For each analysis, the level of statistical significance was set at p s .05. No significant differences emerged between older African-American women who were light to moderate consumers of alcohol and those who were abstainers in levels of depressive symptomatology, levels of social support, perceived health status, marital status, living arrangements, and income levels. In the present study, both abstainers and light to moderate consumers of alcohol report low levels of social support and high scores of depressive symptomatology.

▼ Childcare is traditionally defined as care for children while their parents/guardians are in the workforce or attending school. While technically accurate, it is argued that traditional definitions of childcare are partial and consequently do not fully describe childcare based on an experiential dimension. Thus, this research project sought to augment normative definitions of childcare by including the voices of children in childcare, parents using childcare and those caregivers providing childcare. Several theoretical frameworks were used for this research. First, standpoint theory (Harding, 1987) was presented in order to inform an alternative perspective of childcare based on “experiential” rather than “expert” knowledge. Moreover, role theory (Goffinan, 1961) was used to direct this research through an examination of the situated activity of childcare and the role set members connected to that activity. Finally, the acquisition of roles using Chodorow’s (1978) work on the reproduction of motherhood was also used to guide this research. These theoretical postulations were examined through a historical analysis of the construction of childcare and those meanings and definitions attached to childcare. This qualitative study was designed as a case study of childcare using participant observation, intensive interviewing and an analysis of secondary, openended, childcare survey data. The research was structured so that children, their parents/guardians and their childcare providers all articulated their own perspective of Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. The main foci included the daily routines and activities of a typical childcare experience, definitions of childcare from each of the three perspectives and how children, caregivers and parents envisioned a utopian childcare experience. An analysis of the data revealed the following. Childcare tended to be more than a place to “put” a child. Experiential knowledge articulated by children, parents/guardians and childcare providers suggested that the daily doing and receiving of childcare was imbued with myriad activities and feelings. These stakeholders defined childcare as including three dominant dimensions—routinous, emotional and discursive. While childcare was steeped in routine such as naptime and lunchtime, it also involved intensive emotional work for all stakeholders while they transitioned from one routine to the next. A still emerging dimension, the discursive dimension was also evident as children, childcare providers and parents formulated reframed versions of childcare possibilities. The purpose of this research was to expose definitions o f childcare based on experiential knowledge. As such, while not comprehensive in scope, this research is a starting point around which childcare can be examined based on alternative definitions. These differing perspectives present the possibility of childcare policy and programs based on all knowledge surrounding childcare rather than only a single “expert”… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Don Cooney, Dr. Zoann Snyder, Dr. Subhash Sonnad.

▼ This dissertation is a sociohistorical analysis of the anti-nuclear weapons movement in the United States. This work conceptualizes social movements in advanced industrial societies by synthesizing certain aspects of social constructionism, resource mobilization and new class theory. The synthesis argues that progressive social movements are a form of class conflict in which members of the new class challenge the old elite for the control of cultural capital. Such movements are created, in part, by issue entrepreneurs, many of whom are intellectuals. The success or failure of any social movement organization is dependent on its own tactics and strategies, as well as the official response of social control agencies. The research design is a sociohistorical, comparative case study. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are employed for data analysis. Extensive content analysis of documents and interviews with key actors are supplemented with a critical analysis of a wide variety of primary and secondary data. All major antinuclear weapons protest, particularly the Atomic Scientists Movement of the 1940s, the Ban-the-Bomb Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and the Freeze Movement of the 1980s, shared similar characteristics, and experienced similar problems. Each was founded by intellectuals; each operated on liberal and pluralistic assumptions; and each used education, political lobbying and electoral politics as primary strategies and tactics. After initial successes, each was ultimately coopted by the government and declined. The findings are congruent with the theoretical synthesis. Antinuclear weapons protest is best understood as a new class phenomenon, in which intellectuals have mobilized resources to challenge the ruling elite. Movements have become increasingly professionalized and dependent on foundation support. The most noteworthy success of the movement was the ability of the Freeze Movement to define the nuclear weapons arms race as the paramount social problem of the 1980s. Yet, though the protest has succeeded in challenging the legitimacy of the ruling apparatus, successes of the movement have been mostly symbolic.

▼ This study focuses on the socio-history of the Benton Harbor Area School District's ("BHASD") desegregation froth 1967 when Berry v School District of TheCity of Benton Harbor , C.A. 9 W.D. Mich. (1967) ("Berry ") was filed until 1981, when the court-ordered busing took effect. The purpose is to write a socio-historical analysis of BHASC Board of Education (BHASC Board) decisions regarding racial balance and imbalance in BHASC schools. Specifically, I study theBHASD Board, the administration, and the community concerning the following socio-historically relevant decisions: (1) the transfer of students from theSodus attendance district in the BHASD to the Eau Claire Public School District; (2) employment practices; i.e., hiring of and placement of minority staff, 1967-1980; (3) the use of buildings within the district and the use of portable classrooms. I present background information on school desegregation in three perspectives. This includes socio-historical information, research findings on methods and results of school desegregation, and a study of local Michigan districts which have undergone court-enforced desegregation. I develop the following research questions to provide a focus for sociohistorical analysis of the BHASD Board's decisions: (1) What was the situational environment in which each decision was made by the BHASD Board? (2) How did the community react to the BHASD Board's decision? (3) Was the effect ofeach decision more or less segregation in the BHASD schools? (4) At the time of the decision did the BHASD Board have choices or options which would possibly have resulted in a less segregated situation? The transfer of students from the Sodus school, part of the BHASD schools, to the Eau Claire Public Schools was a major decision which led to more segregation. Following that decision five other schools applied for transfer from BHASD. The placement of academic staff added to the imbalance in several elementary schools. At four of the five elementary schools, each of which had an enrollment of more than 80% black students, the school administration placed portable classrooms to relieve overcrowding rather than transfer the black students to white elementary schools. When a new building was purchased for use as a junior high school, it was located in a residential area which had primarily black residents. This resulted in more segregation within the district. The federal district court was involved in the Berry case and its remedy from 1967 until 2002. Because the case covered more than three decades, there were marry changes in school administrators and school board members. There were three federal district court judges who, during different time periods, presided over the case. Many people spent years trying not only to enjoin the enforcement of unconstitutional laws and to prohibit new violations, but also to eliminatethe continuing effects of past violations. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Douglas Davidson, Dr. Thomas Van Valey, Dr. Paula Brush.

▼ This dissertation is a qualitative study of occupant behavior in response to the 2001 World Trade Center (WTC) disaster. Through analyses of transcripts from 245 face-to-face interviews with survivors from both WTC towers, collected by Project HEED, I investigate the pre-evacuation period in what became the largest full-scale building evacuation in history. The objectives of this study are to understand the types of actions performed before occupants began evacuation via stairs and elevators and why those actions were taken to improve techniques used and to address inadequacies in evacuation modeling tools. Drawing on social psychological theories of human action in normal times, collective behavior and sensemaking during normative crises, and emergency decision-making and protective action in response to hazards and disasters, and research on decision-making under uncertainty (including the importance of satisficing rationality), I examine how interviewees made sense of environmental cues, interpreted the situation and danger to themselves and others, and decided upon pre-evacuation actions, either to seek confirmation or achieve protection. Subsequently, I developed a predictive conceptual model of pre-evacuation actions by identifying the linkages between occupant- and situationally-based factors and the actions performed. I argue that occupant pre-evacuation behavior in the WTC disaster can be conceptually modeled by understanding both the disaster environment and the meanings individuals assigned to that environment. On 9/11, occupants consistently developed new social norms and lines of action based upon the meanings that occupants assigned to the situation, including perceptions of risk, familiarity with the building and others in the building, and responsibility for others. These meanings were dependent upon the receipt of environmental cues as well as on pre-existing norms, experiences, training, and social roles. My thesis contributes to empirical studies of decision-making during disasters and building fires, emergency planning and management, and the field of computer evacuation modeling by examining the emergency decision-making process and the factors that influenced each stage of this process during the most deadly terrorist attack in U. S. history. Advisors/Committee Members: Kathleen Tierney, Liam Downey, William Grosshandler.
