▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ Performance appraisal research (e.g., Longenecker, Sims, & Gioia, 1987; Wang, Wong, & Kwong, 2010) suggests that inaccuracies in performance ratings are largely a result of intentional rating distortion, or rater motivation. Researchers have noted that raters sometimes have multiple and conflicting goals when providing performance ratings (e.g., Murphy, Cleveland, Kinney, Skattebo, Newman, & Sin, 2003). According to rater goal theory (e.g., Cleveland & Murphy, 1992), rater goals are influenced by the performance appraisal context, mediating the relationship between the context of performance appraisal and performance ratings. Studies suggest that the context affects performance ratings, but conceptualizations of the performance appraisal context (e.g., rating purpose) have been narrow, neglecting the Social aspects inherent in performance appraisal (Kozlowski, Chao, & Morrison, 1998; Levy & Williams, 2004). As such, we lack a clear understanding of what the key Social contextual factors are and how they affect rater motivation and performance ratings. To design effective interventions to improve rating accuracy, we first need to understand the strength and direction of these influences (Spence & Keeping, 2010). Therefore, the present study considers how key Social contextual factors (i.e., the rater's supervisor and subordinate group) independently and simultaneously affect rater motivation and performance ratings. Expectancy theory (Porter & Lawler, 1968; Vroom, 1964) is used to make predictions about the effects of the rater's supervisor and group on rater motivation and performance ratings. Expectancy theory is then integrated with Social impact theory (Latané, 1981) to develop hypotheses regarding their interactive effects. Furthermore, both rating inflation and rating deflation, which has received limited research attention, are explicitly addressed. The results of the present study provide some evidence that the key Social contextual factors interact to influence rater motivation and performance ratings. Additionally, the results provide empirical support for different effects of information encouraging high versus low performance ratings. The findings are discussed in detail, along with theoretical and practical implications, and directions for future research. Advisors/Committee Members: Christopher C. Rosen, Nina Gupta, John E. Delery.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore kiltmakers’ experiences as practitioners and their perspectives regarding the possibility of Protected Geographic Indication (PGI) status or Certification Mark for the Scottish kiltmaking industry, with the aim of helping to transform protection for these individuals’ livelihood. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, this study explored the experiences of both learner and expert kiltmakers, along with those of teachers and administrators in schools and firms in the greater Edinburgh and Highland regions of Scotland. An emphasis was placed on discovering participants’ experiences relating to the processes of learning and practicing kiltmaking; the industrial, cultural, and governmental forces impacting kiltmaking; gender issues experienced by female kiltmakers; the evolution of the kilt as a cultural symbol, garment, and industry; and the possibility of establishing Protected Geographic Indication (PGI) or Certification Mark protections on Scottish-made kilts. Participants agreed: (a) kilts and kiltmakers are an important component of Scottish cultural heritage, (b) support from government, industry, and educational institutions is essential in order to perpetuate the kiltmaking practice, (c) the development of well-defined standards for authentic Scottish kilts is beneficial, (d) learning is accomplished by Scaffolding in both apprenticeship and certification, and kiltmakers engage in life-long learning, and (e) protection for the kiltmaking industry is desirable; however, kiltmakers are not sure how it would be accomplished. Participants’ experiences were grouped into internal (i.e., passion and a commitment to tradition that leads to learning kiltmaking) and external (i.e., interactions with industry and government). Cultural experiences such as family history emerged as bridging the gap between internal and external experiences for participants, with kiltmakers noting that as producers of Scottish National Dress, they are both stewards of a piece of Scottish culture, while being simultaneously impacted by the larger set of Scottish cultural norms and values. A graphical representation of participants’ experiences emerged from the data, and the theoretical concepts of Social Capital, Cultural Transmission, Scaffolding, Feminism, and Culture assisted in elucidating the results. This study’s aim was to better understand experiences of individuals in the Scottish kiltmaking community and to begin a stream of scholarly literature devoted to kilts and kiltmaking. Therefore, the present study adds to the body of knowledge by exploring an iconic cultural garment that has been largely ignored in scholarship, along with those who carry on the long-standing tradition of Scottish kiltmaking. Participants agreed: (a) kilts and kiltmakers are an important component of Scottish cultural heritage, (b) support from government, industry, and educational institutions is essential in order to perpetuate the kiltmaking practice, (c) the development of well-defined standards for authentic…

▼ The factors affecting the social acceptability of wearable devices are poorly understood, yet they have a strong influence on whether a new wearable succeeds or fails. Because consumer wearable devices are a recently expanding and distinct form of technology, the literature is limited and existing measures of technology acceptance are insufficient. Factors uniquely affecting wearable devices, as compared to technologies not worn on the body, include manners, moral codes, the symbolic communication of dress, habits of dress, fashion, context of use, form, and aesthetics. Therefore, a new measure must be developed to understand the factors affecting the social acceptability of wearable devices and to predict acceptance. The objective of this research was to use established scale development methodology to develop the WEAR (WEarable Acceptability Range) Scale, a measure of wearable acceptability that can be used with regard to any wearable device. The first step was to determine what is being measured by defining the construct “social acceptability of a wearable” using the literature and interviews of the intended population (Study 1). Next, the WEAR Scale’s initial item pool was composed, then reviewed by experts in Study 2. The resulting scale was administered to sample respondents along with similar scales and items for validation purposes. In Study 3, 221 participants responded to the items in response to a Bluetooth Headset. In Study 4, 306 participants responded to the items in response to Apple Watch and Google Glass. Factor analysis of Study 3 and Study 4 data resulted in a two-factor, fourteen-item solution (WEAR v.3) that was consistent among the three datasets. WEAR v.3 demonstrated good reliability across the three datasets, with alpha ranging from 0.79 to 0.88, and split-half reliability ranging from 0.81 to 0.88. Construct validity was demonstrated by significant correlations between the WEAR Scale and related constructs such as affinity for technology, likeableness ratings, and adoption of technology. The methodical and thorough development process provides a strong argument for content validity. The resulting WEAR Scale identifies two unique dimensions of wearable social acceptability, providing surprising and valuable information for many uses by both academia and industry, including predictive modeling, theory-building, and wearable development and applications.
