▼ I examined public
attitudes toward black bears (Ursus americanus) and black bear management in Middle Georgia using demographic variables to predict
attitudes toward black bear existence and also compared
attitudes of hunters and non-hunters toward nuisance black bears and the use of lethal methods to control nuisance bears. A self-administered mail survey was sent to homeowners (N = 4,000) residing in Bleckley, Houston, Pulaski, and Twiggs counties in Georgia. Results indicated that age and sex of respondents were the only strong predictors of
attitudes toward black bear existence. I found differences between hunters’ and non-hunters’
attitudes toward nuisance black bears as well as preference for management options. There were no differences between hunters and non-hunters in terms of tolerance of lethal control as a management action. I recommend managers focus educational efforts on non-traditional stakeholders such as women and non-hunters.

▼ Invasive species are an issue facing ecosystems throughout the world, and are considered by several researchers to be the major threat to biodiversity across the planet. The issue of invasive species is a problem for many of America’s public land agencies, and the national parks of the United States of America are not exempt from this growing threat. Cumberland Island National Seashore (CUIS) has some very visible and destructive invasive species. The management of CUIS has stated that invasive feral animals and exotic plants will be managed to the point that their threat is negligible, as they recognize the negative economic and environmental impacts of invasive species. Public support for this action will be essential, however, little is known about the public’s knowledge of and
attitudes towards invasive species or whether they would support CUIS’s management plans for their control. A link has been found between awareness and education and the importance they play in increasing public support for invasive species management. A pre-test/post-test design was used to examine visitors’ knowledge of and
attitudes towards invasive species at CUIS, and determine how these characteristics influenced their support for invasive species control on CUIS. This study also sought to design, implement and evaluate the effect of two education programs on CUIS visitors’ knowledge and
attitudes towards invasive species, and determine whether the programs influenced visitors’ support for controlling invasive species on the island.
Visitors that received an audio or visual interpretive program exhibited an increase in their survey scores related to their knowledge of and
attitudes towards invasive species as well as support for control of invasive species. There was, however, little difference between the effectiveness of visual and audio program regarding knowledge. There was a statistically significant increase in survey scores for the attitude construct between the experimental and control groups, with the support for control construct producing the most statistically significant variables. There was a statistically significant difference for several of the support for management actions between the audio and visual treatment groups. For the majority of the items, the audio group had a higher mean than the visual group.
Results confirm that those visitors with an anthropocentric value orientation are more likely to see nature as more utilitarian and that the island is more important for human use than for conservation of a pristine ecosystem. Also, those visitors with a biocentric value orientation and more knowledge of invasive species are more likely to support management action towards invasive species. The biocentric group had a statistically significant higher mean on the majority of the support for control questions compared to the anthropocentric group. Visitors with more education and a biocentric value orientation also indicated more support for certain control measures.
This survey instrument will benefit…

▼ Natural resource managers frequently face difficult decisions for wicked conservation issues that include multiple threats and management options, competing objectives (e.g., biodiversity, human well-being), diverse stakeholder preferences, and uncertainty of decision outcomes. Structured decision making (SDM) has emerged as an effective tool for addressing such contexts, but SDM has not been applied to one widespread conservation issue: roads. Roads pose a substantial challenge as they simultaneously represent a pervasive threat to wildlife populations and infrastructure important for people’s daily lives and local economies. We describe the co-development of a multi-objective SDM framework with local stakeholders to identify management decisions using the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) as a focal species and the Jekyll Island Causeway (JIC: Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA) as a model system. Stakeholders specified multiple objectives, including maximizing terrapin population persistence, maximizing patron satisfaction, and minimizing project costs. We employed integrated modeling and decision analysis to explicitly link threats and management actions to population and socioeconomic outcomes. Models were informed by empirical work estimating the effects of roadside vegetation on nest predation, effects of current and potential management actions on terrapin survival and population viability, and management preferences of JIC user groups. We found that two management devices deployed on the JIC (roadside barriers and flashing warning signage) significantly reduced road threats, but the terrapin population continued to decline in the absence of additional actions. The best-performing management strategy was robust to differences in stakeholder values and included complementary actions such as roadside barriers, on-road signage, and vegetation and predator removal. This study demonstrates the efficacy of applying SDM to road management contexts and the need for incorporating human dimensions data into SDM to more accurately represent social objective outcomes. Results from flashing signage on the JIC and additional work using social marketing interventions to address diverse human-wildlife conflicts showed that positive conservation outcomes are achievable through changing human behaviors. Ultimately, the approaches employed in this work – understanding species life history and behavior, focusing on multiple threats and objectives, and integrating people into management solutions – should assist managers in reaching defendable decisions for other challenging conservation issues.

▼ This experimental study examines the effects of various types of information about the death penalty on the
attitudes of 362 undergraduate students at a university in the Northeast. This study attempts to expand upon previous research that has examined the malleability of student death penalty
attitudes and, specifically, focuses on isolating the type of information most important to changing death penalty
attitudes and examines the role that retributiveness and attitude strength may play in this relationship. Using a stratified cluster sampling procedure, self-administered pre- and post-tests were distributed to criminology and non-criminology students during February and March 2010. Vignettes, which included various types of information about the death penalty, were employed as an experimental stimulus. The results from this study indicate that students who received information about socioeconomic discrimination in application of the death penalty and the high cost of the punishment were the most likely to exhibit change in their death penalty
attitudes at post-test. Students who received information about wrongful capital convictions, racial discrimination in application of the death penalty, and the lack of a general deterrent impact of the punishment, as well as those who received information about all five of the death penalty factors, did not exhibit statistically significant change in their
attitudes at post-test. However, the results also indicate that the type of information students received did not impact the degree of change in death penalty attitude between pre- and post-test. Likewise, it was found that the strength of a student’s death penalty attitude, as well as their level of retributiveness, did not explain the variance in death penalty attitude between pre- and post-test.

▼ Clients with disabilities participating in vocational rehabilitation services and vocational rehabilitation professionals providing services have each developed unique disability beliefs,
attitudes, and roles as a result of their personal experiences, established values, and societal interactions. Identifying the beliefs,
attitudes, and roles related to disability among clients and professionals may help improve client-professional relationships. My dissertation research measured the beliefs,
attitudes, and roles of 53 clients with disabilities receiving services at the Hiram G. Andrews Center, located in Johnstown, PA and 328 professionals employed at six of the eight rehabilitation centers in the United States. Professionals' beliefs,
attitudes, and roles related to disability were measured using a modified version of Darling and Heckert's Questionnaire on Disability Identity and Opportunity. Clients' pre and post beliefs,
attitudes, and roles related to disability were measured using Darling and Heckert‟s Questionnaire on Disability Identity and Opportunity. The results support the use of Darling and Heckert's Questionnaire on Disability Identity and Opportunity as an instrument in determining clients' and professionals' agreement with the particular variables of pride, exclusion, social model, and medical model. The results also support that agreement with the variables can be indicators of clients' and professionals' beliefs,
attitudes, and roles related to disability.

▼ Anecdotal evidence suggests that the trades have long been associated with negative attitudes and stereotypes that have led to a decline in the number of people choosing to undertake a career in the trades. This phenomenon is currently highlighted by the skills shortage in the trades. Following the work of Scharfenburg (2000), who investigated the attitudes of Canadian high school students towards apprenticeships, this research investigated the attitudes and perceptions of students towards the trades as a career option.
One hundred and four Otago University students completed a survey indexing their attitudes and knowledge concerning the trades. Results from this survey indicated that students had a limited knowledge of what occupations denote a trade, what skills and training are required to become a tradesperson and finally what financial return and employment prospects can be offered by the trades. It was found that students who had a lack of awareness about careers in the trades were more likely to have increased negative attitudes concerning the trades. Furthermore, these students were less likely to consider the trades as a career option. These results confirm both Scharfenburg (2000)'s findings and anecdotal evidence suggesting that a greater focus needs to be placed on promoting the trades in a manner that increases students' awareness of careers within the trades.

▼ The present study is designed to take a new approach to studying gender differences in reactions to partner infidelity by measuring
attitudes toward partner infidelity. No previous studies have directly examined
attitudes toward partner sexual versus emotional infidelity, nor have studies assessed the strength of these
attitudes. Thus, this study was designed as an initial investigation of overall evaluative differences between men and women. It was found that women held significantly more negative
attitudes towards emotional infidelity than did men, with no gender differences in attitude held towards sexual infidelity. For sexual infidelity, more positive
attitudes toward partner sexual infidelity were associated with lower reported distress for both men and women, with the relationship being significantly more pronounced for men. For emotional infidelity, attitude strength moderated the relationship between attitude towards emotional infidelity and distress about emotional infidelity. There was a significant relationship between
attitudes toward partner emotional infidelity and distress when attitude strength was high but not when attitude strength was low.

What do people think about the way government talks? Attitudes to plain language in official communication.

▼ When official publications supposed to inform the public do not do their job well the consequences can be serious, impacting for example on someone’s income because they did not know they were entitled to benefits. Campaigners argue that official communication should be written in plain language to make it more understandable. This seems to be largely accepted by Government and yet plain language has not become everyday practice. The public conversation about plain language invokes a range of ideas about what plain language signifies, suggesting that there may be more complex reasons for the maintenance of non-plain communication than simply laziness of the writers. For spoken language, language attitude studies have been used to provide empirical evidence of the beliefs people have about different language varieties, drawing on these for explanations as to why languages change or are maintained. Drawing on the language
attitudes field, a matched-guise study of plain language was therefore carried out to consider if readers and writers of official communication had particular
attitudes towards plain and non-plain language in official communication. Participants were found to judge organisations producing plain texts to be less professional and less credible than those producing plain texts, but more approachable and more down-to-earth, with values at or approaching statistical significance. It is suggested that non-plain official communication continues to be produced because it is the prestige variety. Factors that affect peoples’
attitudes to plain language are also discussed, including the content of official information, characteristics of participants, and what people expect from language in this very particular context.

▼ This study investigates folk perceptions of speech in post-reunified Germany, exploring how such perceptions are cognitively created, organized, and maintained. Using a modified form of Tamasi’s pile-sorting methodology (2003), this study specifically examines how German political disunity (i.e. "Mauer in den Köpfen" or "wall of the mind") is manifested in speech evaluations and further explores the cognitive factors involved in spatial perceptions of regional speech varieties. A total of sixty-one informants from two locations (Dresden, Saxony, and Bamberg, Bavaria) took part in a four-part interview designed to elicit their perceptions of variation in German. Informants were given cards with the names of German cities printed on them. They were asked to sort and divide the cards into piles according to where they think people speak differently. They were then given a set of social and linguistic descriptors with which they could describe and evaluate the dialect piles they had made. The third task asked participants to recognize and evaluate female and male voices from three locations within Germany (Dresden, Bamberg, and Hanover) using the same descriptors they used in the pile-sorting task. Lastly, informants were asked to answer a series of brief questions to clarify and substantiate quantitative results obtained in the previous tasks. Results from this study show that a "linguistic wall" clearly exists in the perceptions of West German respondents as revealed in their negative evaluation of eastern (Saxon) dialects. In contrast, Saxon informants do not maintain a perceptual ‘wall’ based on negative evaluations of western speech varieties; while they are aware of the negative linguistic stereotypes associated with their own dialect, Saxon informants perceive Saxon German to be just as pleasant as other regional varieties. Additional data show that informants’ spatial perceptions of speech are not only significantly influenced by non-speech information such as geographical or cultural knowledge but also by a lack of linguistic knowledge.

▼ This cross-temporal meta-analysis provides a large-scale analysis of changes in the psychological experience of working, as indicated by worker reports of constructs commonly measured in the management literature. Although many of the observed changes were weak, the results point to negative shifts in the psychological experience of working, with significant decreases in general job satisfaction , significant increases in role conflict and emotional exhaustion, and moderate but non-significant increases in work family conflict (k = 47). In addition, on the basis of decreases in depersonalization and satisfaction with coworkers and supervision, the results also point to changes in the nature of personal relationships at work. On the other hand, perceived organizational support, organizational commitment, personal accomplishment, role clarity, and extrinsic job satisfaction facets (pay and promotion) evidence small and non-significant changes. These results are discussed using a person-centered approach to understand the psychological experience of work.

▼ The present study observes and compares the language
attitudes towards standard English, standard Spanish, and code-switching in two U.S. and Mexico border cities (Laredo and Edinburg) by employing the matched-guise technique Three attribute dimensions (solidarity, status, and personal appeal) were used by participants to evaluate the three varieties in question.
Situated just 150 miles from one another, Laredo and Edinburg are both border cities with a majority Hispanic-origin population. Yet, the histories of Laredo and Edinburg differ: while Laredo was a fully established community before the arrival of the Anglos in the 19^(th) century and succeeded in protecting its lands from Anglo encroachment, the Hispanic population where Edinburg is located suffered land loss during the same time . The present study examined if these historical differences have had consequences on the contemporary linguistic
attitudes in these two cities.
For the matched-guise experiment, an original code-switching recording was produced in Spanish and English versions. These three texts went through grammaticality testing and were then recorded by four Mexican American bilingual speakers, two males and two females. Ninety-six participants from Laredo and ninety-one participants from Edinburg answered a demographic questionnaire and then were told to listen and evaluate each voice on a list of characteristics grouped into the three dimensions mentioned above (solidarity, status, and personal appeal), unaware that they were in fact listening to bilingual speakers speaking in different language varieties.
Code-switching received the lowest evaluations in all three dimensions. Also, Spanish and English were judged relatively the same in status and personal appeal, but Spanish ranked much higher than both code-switching and standard English in solidarity. When the variables of speaker and student gender were considered, differences emerged in the evaluations within and between both cities. In regards to the differences found between locations, female students from Edinburg appear to be more tolerant towards code-switching than female students in Laredo, particularly when the speaker is male. Edinburg males also appear to evaluate females who speak English higher than Laredo male students. Yet at the same time these same male students evaluate males who use English less favorably in solidarity and higher in personal appeal, while the Laredo males display the inverse tendency. The fact that differences between locations were found upon considering the speakers??? and students??? gender indicates that differing linguistic
attitudes exist among residents in the South Texas region and deserves further investigation.

▼ The research described here focused on the construct
validation of implicit age attitudes. In Study 1, I illustrated how
implicit age attitudes failed to demonstrate the relationships that
construct validation of implicit attitudes more generally would
anticipate, highlighting the need to investigate the construct
validity of implicit age attitudes. Specifically, implicit age
attitudes were dissociated from individuals’ explicit age attitudes
and age identity. Studies 2 through 5 pursued the construct
validation of implicit age attitudes. Study 2 examined whether
asking different questions or using alternative implicit measures
would reveal stronger implicit-explicit relations. Instead,
implicit age attitudes, as assessed by 4 distinct measures, remain
substantially dissociated from anything individuals self-reported,
including multiple measures of self-reported age preferences,
intergroup contact, age identity, perceived competence and
likability, expectations about one’s own aging process, and
mortality concerns. In Studies 3 and 4, I examined the measurement
of implicit age attitudes, varying the age groups targeted in
implicit measurement. As assessed with two separate measures,
implicit age attitudes were consistently pro-young, but sensitive
to which age groups represented younger and older, and implicit
attitudes toward middle-aged adults were moderated by individuals’
own age. Study 5 contrasted several hypotheses for how age
attitudes could vary across nations, such as nations’ collectivism,
socioeconomic modernization, or the percentage of older adults in
the population. Culture is thought to influence the environment in
which an attitude is learned; I found that despite the dissociation
in individuals’ implicit and explicit age attitudes, there was
evidence at the national level for their predictive validity.
National indicators of population aging predicted national levels
of negative implicit and ii explicit attitudes toward older adults,
suggesting that cultural contexts present different messages about
old people and aging and that these messages are one source of
negative associations with older adults. The persistent
dissociation between individuals’ implicit age attitudes and all
self-report constructs remains a puzzle for their construct
validity. But as a whole, the present research represents
significant progress in accumulating evidence for the nomological
net supporting the construct of implicit age attitudes.

▼ This thesis employs cultural analysis to better understand the meanings consumers have for the brands they consume. This research uses qualitative methods to elicit and analyze the brand meanings alumni and students have of their alma matter and alumni associations. Results from this research suggest that consumption is a ritual act whereby consumers develop symbolic interpretations for brands to resolve issues related to the ongoing construction of their worlds' and selves. Alumni and students infuse the interpretation of their alma mater and alumni association brand with meanings helping them to reconcile their university
experience with their vocational, familial, social, and ideographic perspectives about the worlds they live in. The first part deals with the paradigmatic differences between marketing and anthropological theory as it relates to the meanings consumers have for the act of consumption. This approach replaces the marketing concepts of brand
loyalty, brand communities, and the extended self with parallel concepts in anthropology of cultural projection, heterotopic consumption communities, and the centrifugal self. The second part adds to the existing research on alumni, which tends to be
concerned with their potential as university donors. Consistent with other studies, this thesis suggests the relationships alumni have with their alma matter are shaped by their student experiences and continually reshaped by their current life contexts. The third part offers a unique qualitative method for discovering the personal concepts and themes shaping informants' life experiences and brand perceptions. This method involves photo elicitation techniques used with informants to help them better depict their perceptions of their worlds and their place in them. The fourth part offers structural analytical techniques for narrative data. These techniques reveal the emic structure of the data which serves as contextual information for in-depth analysis. The structural perspective in this research offers new ideas about segmentation analysis consistent with the consumer experience. The conclusions of this research demonstrate how adaptations of
marketing theory by Oregon State University Alumni Association administrators have resulted in mismanagement of their brand. Applied insights from this research illustrate the way in which anthropological theory is adept at yielding emic consumer insights for the purpose of better managing alumni association brands. The applied suggestions of this research explain that companies and alumni associations ought not be concerned with finding the most loyal consumer or ideal alum. Instead, administrators should be concerned with the question of "how do alumni conceive of a more perfect alumni association?" This challenge
is best resolved by understanding the differences in the student experience and
post-graduate lifestyle. These experiences are not temporally distant, but mutually constructive in the present. Therefore, alumni association brands will be more sanguine in the…

▼ Mathematics is omnipresent in all walks of life in our society. For instance, every day, citizens all over the world are faced with a complex array of mathematics–from mathematics of business and employment to risks of household accidents. A knowledge of mathematics is needed to solve problems that are encountered in our everyday life. However, in reality, most people in general, and students in particular, dislike mathematics. Researchers had revealed that the majority of secondary school students in western countries find mathematics difficult because of their negative beliefs and
attitudes. Research is needed that gives specific attention to beliefs and
attitudes in the Pacific Islands.
My study investigated the beliefs and
attitudes of high school students in the Solomon Islands towards learning mathematics. Students from two year-12 senior national high schools were selected for the study. Two overarching paradigms that set the conceptual framework for this study were positivism and interpretivism. Research data were obtained through a mixed-method approach. A survey instrument was designed to explore students’ beliefs and
attitudes towards learning mathematics. Focus group interviews were conducted with some students to solicit factors that impacted on their beliefs and
attitudes. To explore factors students thought had affected their mathematics achievement, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Frequency percentage and thematic analysis were used to analyse data.
Findings from the written survey revealed that students were very positive about learning mathematics. They seemed to believe that knowing and doing mathematics required logical thinking and applying mathematics procedures. They highly regarded the utility of mathematics in school and the practicality of it in everyday life. They were very optimistic about their self-efficacy in mathematics learning; for instance, 96% of the students thought they were confident in learning mathematics.
Students’
attitudes toward mathematics were both positive and negative. Students who demonstrated positive
attitudes tended to enjoy and learn effectively when they clearly understood mathematics well. Conversely, students with negative
attitudes usually put less effort into their learning process. Most students disliked learning mathematics because it was difficult. Mathematics anxiety was ascertained as contributing negative beliefs and
attitudes towards students’ mathematics learning.
Interesting findings were revealed in semi-structured and focus group interviews. Data from semi-structured interviews revealed that students’ beliefs about the nature of mathematics reflected on the aspects of mathematical content, mathematical processes, cognitive processes and the utility of mathematics. Furthermore, a major contributing factor that affected students’ mathematics achievement was the teacher. Additionally, students’ poor mathematical background was an area of concern that affected mathematics achievement. Focus group data revealed three key factors that…

▼ The purpose of the current study was to explore the formation and consequences of attitude certainty based on good or poor evidence and having varying degrees of value-relevance. Specifically, it was proposed that attitudes would be held with high attitude certainty when value-relevant, regardless of the quality of evidence by which the attitude was first formed. However, if the attitude is not value-relevant, certainty would be greater for attitudes based on good, as opposed to poor, evidence. The consequences of attitude certainty, formed from good versus poor evidence at varying levels of value-relevance, were also explored by testing how well such attitudes resist persuasion, as well as the favorability of thoughts in response to a persuasive message. Both consequences were expected to be greatest when value-relevance was low and the initial evidence relevant to the attitude during formation was poor. The results showed that the predictions were only partly supported by the data. Although the value-relevance manipulation affected attitude certainty in the direction expected, the interaction between value-relevance and evidence quality only emerged for the thought favorability index data and not the attitude certainty and attitude change data. Limitations of the current study and future directions are discussed.

▼ Previous work has shown that perceptions of immorality can lead to the expression of negative group directed attitudes. Therefore the present study investigated whether increased perceptions of morality could decrease explicit negative group directed attitudes. For Study 1, 262 participants received a manipulation intended to increase how moral, competent, or warm they perceived people from their opposing political party to be, then completed a measure assessing their explicit negative attitudes and behaviors towards the opposing political party. For Study 2, 163 participants received a similar manipulation and completed the same explicit attitudes measure, but also took an implicit attitudes measure towards the opposing political party. For both studies, participants who received the moral manipulation did not report lower negative attitudes than participants in the warmth, competence, or control conditions. However, perceived morality was the best predictor of negative explicit attitudes for both studies, while all perception types equally predicted negative implicit attitudes. Despite the lack of support for the primary hypotheses, the current work supports the argument that perceptions of morality play a strong, unique role in the public expression of negative group directed attitudes.

attitudes widespread and potentially
harmful, these
attitudes may have unique characteristics that
differentiate them from other prejudicial
attitudes. Unlike some
other forms of prejudice, anti-fat
attitudes have become more
prevalent over time, people are willing to admit to holding
anti-fat
attitudes, and even individuals who are fat also hold
anti-fat
attitudes. The current study investigated children's,
adolescents' and young adults' anti-fat
attitudes in comparison to
other
attitudes such as racial prejudice, and prejudice against
smokers and individuals with physical disabilities.
Attitudes were
measured both explicitly and implicitly. Furthermore, participants'
level of social desirability and their beliefs about the
controllability of being a member of the target groups (being fat,
African American, physically disabled, or a smoker) was assessed
and compared to their explicit and implicit
attitudes. Results
indicated that explicit anti-fat
attitudes remained stable across
age groups and implicit anti-fat
attitudes became more negative
with age. In addition to displaying implicit negative biases
against fat people, participants in this study also held explicit
and implicit biases toward smokers. However, contrary to past
research, these
attitudes were not related to participants' beliefs
about the controllability of being fat or being a smoker. Further
research is needed to clarify the origins and basis of people's
negative
attitudes toward these groups.

▼ This embedded, multiple-case study was conducted to investigate perceptions of academic optimism and transformational leadership behaviors in two schools implementing personalized mastery educational paradigms. Personalized mastery educational paradigms require that students demonstrate mastery of established standards prior to moving onto more complicated concepts. This model represents a dramatic departure from traditional models of education where student progress through the curriculum is primarily determined by seat time. Teacher perceptions of academic optimism have been shown to have a positive effect on student achievement (Hoy, Tarter, & Woolfolk Hoy, 2006) and transformational leadership behaviors have been linked to second-order change required for successful implementation of new educational models (Leithwood & Jantzi, 2006). Academic Optimism and Transformational Leadership were examined in two schools at different stages of implementing a personalized mastery model of education. The case is bound by the system of personalized mastery education, bound by place in terms of one school in Wyoming and one in Montana, and bound by time during February and April of 2014. This research was framed by the following central question: How do teachers at two high schools at different stages of implementing personalized mastery learning describe their perceptions of transformational leadership, academic optimism, and the organizational change process? The School Academic Optimism Scale (SAOS) (Hoy, 2005) was used to assess teachers' perceptions of Academic Optimism and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) (Avolio & Bass, 2004) was used to assess their perceptions of Transformational Leadership. In addition, semi-structured teacher interviews were conducted to obtain a richer and deeper understanding of perceptions related to academic optimism and transformational leadership during the organizational change process. Finally, a critical incident analysis was performed on principal journal entries describing principal perceptions of transformational leadership behaviors and teacher academic optimism during the organizational change process. Findings suggest increased perceptions of academic optimism and transformational leadership behaviors within both schools. Additionally, teachers in the school where the personal mastery model was implemented over a longer period of time suggested the school was recultured to accept this new educational model and felt a greater sense of collective leadership.

▼ Attitudes determine commitment in their broad sense, though this is rarely understood in this fashion. An abortion decision is influenced by many factors that eventually lead to such a decision just to mention a few; general health of the mother, rape, occupational status of the expectant mother and the pressure from the society. Termination of pregnancy is sometimes if not most incongruent with one's belief and morale. Midwives as trained individuals to care for the needs of the patients who want to abortion have to step over their moral judgement and provide the service (abortion). In the recent past some reports on service delivery (abortion) stated challenges that midwives face within their health institutions, as well the pressure from the general public of South Africa expressing genuine opposition to termination of pregnancy policy, times do change together with the mentally and stereotypes closely attached to termination of pregnancy, although the reproductive policies are a sensitive issue in most countries.
The study focuses on the
attitudes of the midwives toward termination of pregnancy and it explores the difference on attitude between public and private hospitals. The findings of the study suggest that there is difference on attitude with regards to termination of pregnancy, amongst the midwives in public and private
hospitals, this discrepancy also exist amongst senior midwives compared to junior midwives. There are however, a number of reasons for this, but the obvious one maybe that senior midwives have reached self actualization in their careers and view the professional duties beyond egocentric needs and morale, and this facilitate the expected role of the health service providers, which is to cater for the needs of the desperate public.

▼ This study examined the stereotypes, affect,
behaviours and attitudes held by 167 English Canadian university
students toward 16 ethnic groups. Participants completed a
questionnaire which assessed their perceptions of each group’s
competence and warmth (derived from the Stereotype Content Model;
Fiske et al., 2002), affective and behavioural reactions toward
each group (derived from the Behaviors and Intergroup Affect from
Stereotypes Map; Cuddy et al., 2007), acculturation attitudes with
regards to each ethnic group, as well as a measure of their general
attitude toward immigration. Cluster analyses indicated that
English Canadians, Ukrainians, Italians, British, and Germans were
regarded as highly competent and warm, Korean and Chinese
immigrants as competent but less warm, and Jamaican, Filipino and
East Indian immigrants as warm, but less competent. Moderately low
competence, low warmth stereotypes were given to a mix of ethnic
groups, including Mexicans, Somalis, Pakistanis, Iranians, and
French Canadians. Aboriginals were stereotyped as least competent
and least warm. Generally, stronger stereotypes of competence and
warmth were associated with greater support of immigration and more
positive emotional and behavioural reactions toward the ethnic
group, but these associations varied by cluster. Consistent with
previous research, path analyses suggested that emotional reactions
predicted behavioural reactions. For the acculturation attitudes,
only a negative relationship between the multiculturalism
orientation and passive harm could be found. These results suggest
avenues for studying the different patterns of discrimination that
ethnic minorities experience in intercultural
settings.

▼ This dissertation investigates the important role
attitudes play in determining the
participation levels of a large number of Americans. Over the past 30 years the
prominent theories in the political participation literature have stressed the importance of
socioeconomic status in explaining voter turnout. More recently, some have suggested
that voting is a habit that most Americans acquire over their lifetimes. I contend that this
previous work is incomplete in that it overlooks a large segment of the public that I
describe as sporadic voters. Using National Election Study panel data from the early
1970s and 1990s, I find that neither socioeconomic status nor habit explains the voting
behavior of sporadic voters. Sporadic voters decide to participate in elections based on
their political
attitudes at the time of any given election. If they have stronger partisan
attachments, greater campaign interest or more external efficacy sporadic voters will be
more likely to show up at the polls regardless of changes in education, age or income.

▼ Examination of how the United Nations ('UN') and World Bank construct
youth affected by armed conflict and political instability (referred to as
'youth-in-conflict') in their respective youth policies reveals that the UN
constructs youth-in-conflict as 'victims' requiring protection. This results in
humanitarian/rights-based approaches to youth development. In contrast, the
World Bank constructs youth-in-conflict as 'capital' that has potential to
bring about economic growth, resulting in economics-driven policies.
Such divergent identity constructions are because 'youth' and 'youth
identity' are fluid concepts used in various ways by different people in
different contexts. In peace and conflict studies, the dominant discourses in
relation to youth-in-conflict are that youth are either 'victims' of war or
'troublemakers'. Both discourses are contested by an emerging third
discourse of youth as peacebuilders, which challenges the representation of
youth-in-conflict as passive victims or as negative threats.
While the UN and World Bank’s respective humanitarian/development and
neo-liberal economic approaches shape these divergent youth-in-conflict
constructions, both institutions are also influenced by the global trends in
youth-in-conflict discourses. This 'discursive' relationship means that as the
UN and World Bank engage in the global youth debate and are shaped by
more complete understandings of youth-in-conflict, they will also have an
influential role in perpetuating or challenging dominant discourses.

▼ This study investigates
attitudes of Chinese students in Edinburgh towards different varieties of English. This study addresses three research questions: (1) Do Chinese students in Edinburgh prefer certain varieties of English and do they accept non-native varieties? (2) Are Chinese students in Edinburgh aware of different varieties of English? (3) How do Chinese students judge the status of English in the world and their own English? In order to examine participants’
attitudes, both questionnaire and interview were employed to collect qualitative and quantitative dada. In the questionnaire, a verbal-guise test and ten statements with five-point Liker scale were conducted as indirect and direct approaches. The results suggest that participants’ hold more positive
attitudes towards native varieties; their
attitudes towards non-native varieties are complicated; and their
attitudes are influenced by their familiarity with a specific version of English, especially the media they exposed to.

▼ Various theories have hypothesized and research has corroborated that individuals who find meaning in life are more accepting of their own mortality. More recently, scholars have noted important distinctions between individuals who report presence of meaning in life versus those who report search for meaning in life. To our knowledge no research has investigated the search for meaning in life as it relates to individual
attitudes towards personal mortality. This study investigates the relation of both search for meaning in life and presence of meaning in life to individual
attitudes towards death. Our study sample consisted of 106 undergraduate students from Humboldt State University. Participants were administered the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (Wong, Reker, & Gesser, 1994) and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (Steger, Oishi, & Kaler, 2006). Several directional hypotheses were conceptualized based on previous research findings and a review of the existing literature. It was hypothesized that there would be positive correlations between the more ???positive???
attitudes towards death (i.e., the Approach Acceptance and Neutral Acceptance scales of the DAP-R) and Presence of Meaning in life as measured by the MLQ. It was also hypothesized that there would be positive correlations between the more ???negative???
attitudes towards death (i.e., the Fear of Death and Death Avoidance scales of the DAP-R) and Search for Meaning in life as measured by the MLQ. Hypotheses were partially supported in that Presence of Meaning in life and Approach Acceptance were positively correlated, and Search for Meaning in life and Death Avoidance were negatively correlated. Gender differences on these scales were also examined, revealing gender differences in the Neutral Acceptance and Fear of Death scales of the DAP-R. Male participants scored significantly higher on Neutral Acceptance, and female participants had higher mean scores on Fear of Death. Significant gender differences were also found for the Presence of Meaning subscale of the MLQ with female participants reporting higher levels of Presence of Meaning in life. Small, but significant correlations were found between the DAP-R and MLQ scales. However, further regression analysis was performed that included all five DAP-R scales simultaneously, and these correlations became nonsignificant. Therefore, no significant correlations were found overall between the DAP-R scales and the MLQ scales. Directions for future research and possible clinical implications are discussed.

▼ The effects of various antecedents to cognitive elaboration on the structural properties and subjective beliefs related to attitude strength were examined in 2 experiments. Participants read vaccine-related information and received arguments for and against the implementation of a vaccine program for a fictitious virus. Their ability and motivation to attend to the central merits of the arguments were manipulated using a 2 (high vs. low ability) x 2 (high vs. low motivation) between-participants design, and the effects on 21 attitude- and attitude-strength related outcome variables were observed. Ability was determined by time pressure (Study 1) and distraction (Study 2), and motivation was determined by personal responsibility (Study 1) and involvement (Study 2). A meta-analysis of the experiments revealed that whereas none of the structural properties related to attitude strength were affected, all of the subjective beliefs were affected, and ability and motivation had differential effects. Ability primarily affected beliefs that reflect the validity and consistency of the knowledge base as well as the intensity of the attitude; motivation affected beliefs that reflect the intensity of the attitude and the functional relevance of the attitude object. As well, ability and motivation interacted on a number of variables, with a consistent pattern emerging: High (vs. low) motivation was associated with increased perceived knowledge, clarity, and accessibility, and decreased ambivalence under low ability; the opposite pattern occurred under high ability. Overall, this research represents the first systematic and the most comprehensive attempt to determine which strength dimensions are affected by variations in elaboration. It also provides evidence that the subjective beliefs might operate independent of the structural properties, that various antecedents to elaboration might not be directly interchangeable, and that ability and motivation might have different strength-related outcomes. Finally, this research demonstrated that when used in tandem, the effects of ability and motivation do not necessarily operate in an additive fashion, but can interact in some previously unforeseen ways.

▼ This research project aims to explore the relationship between the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) as a measure of implicit attitude to alcohol and a number of other variables comprising the Alcohol Attitudes Scale (AAS), the Frequency of participant Alcohol Use (FAU), the Quantity of participant Alcohol Use (QAU), the Temptation and Restraint Inventory (TRI), transgenerational problem alcohol use (Gen) and participant willingness to abstain from alcohol use (Abstain) over three research studies. In Study 1, the IRAP was used to determine a) if participant responding (n= 60) demonstrated a pro-alcohol bias, b) if participant responding demonstrated a pro-alcohol bias between participants when controlling for QAU, c) if Spearman’s Rho correlation tests showed a relationship between any of the variables used, d) if Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests show gender impacts self-reported alcohol use behaviour and e) if there is convergence or divergence between implicit attitudes to alcohol (IRAP) and explicit self-reported attitudes to alcohol (AAS) . A brief ACT-based intervention was delivered and participants (n=48) returned thirty days later for repeated measures testing in Study 2 using paired sample t-tests and repeated measures ANOVAs to determine f) if there was any variation in participant responding in measures that may be attributable to the intervention and g) if participants reported behaviour change they attributed to taking part in the research project. Study 3 (n=35) participants completed all measures as in Study 1 and Study 2, but with revised IRAP target images to ensure construct validity and experimental reliability. Overall the research highlights the complex relationship between Brief Implicit Relational Responding (BIRR) and Elaborate Extended Relational Responding
(EERR) and the important role BIRRs play in alcohol use behaviour. Partial replication of research by Ostafin, Kassman, deJong, van Hemel-Ruiter (2014) demonstrates the advantage of the availability of IRAP trial type DIRAP data as well as overall DIRAP scores in results analysis.

▼ The researcher sought to determine if teaching an empathy curriculum would affect students???
attitudes about bullying in an after school program. The attention focused on the effect of empathy curriculum and the impact learning about empathy had on students in fourth, fifth and sixth grade. Current literature reviewed related to bullying prevention programs, the relationship between empathy and bullying, and school culture and climate. This qualitative, action research study adds to the research related to the relationship between empathy and bullying. Data was collected with pre and post online student surveys, written responses from students and researcher observations. The initial student surveys were compared to post curriculum student surveys to establish the impact empathy curriculum had on students??? responses. Information collected from written responses, surveys and observations were categorized by trends and used to describe the effects of empathy curriculum taught over three weeks. Students??? awareness about bullying increased, there were more positive interactions among students and there was an impact on the actions students took to intervene in bullying situations. A recommended action for furthering this research is to teach an empathy curriculum for a longer duration to truly determine the effects on students???
attitudes. This may show more significant differences in some survey data that did not show a significant difference after three weeks of anti-bullying intervention. This study contributed to the field of education by informing readers of the value in teaching empathy to students and making the best possible use of after school time for students to benefit the school, the students and the community.

▼ The recovery movement in the United States redirects our focus away from the pathology of addiction and mental health disorders toward recovery, wellness, and resilience (White, 2000). The work of the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, launched in 2003, resulted in the conclusion that the current mental health system in the United States was not oriented toward the hope of recovery, and therefore recommended a fundamental transformation in the way that mental health care is delivered in this country. The Connecticut recovery movement began in 2000, and has as its goal the transformation of the existing service delivery system into one in which recovery is its overarching guiding principle (Davidson et al., 2007). As the Connecticut recovery initiative continues, the workforce needs and demographics of the state are changing. The state Department of Labor has identified a growing need for well-educated, diverse mental health and substance abuse professionals, including social workers and rehabilitation counselors (Connecticut Department of Labor, 2003). Little research currently exists on recovery knowledge and
attitudes among providers of treatment and rehabilitation services, and no known study has investigated recovery knowledge and
attitudes among university faculty members who educate them. The present study investigated recovery knowledge and
attitudes among faculty members at the top 25 social work and rehabilitation counseling programs according to the 2008 U.S. News and World Report through use of the Recovery Knowledge Inventory (RKI; Bedregal et al., 2006). Four hypotheses were proposed: (1) faculty members who had completed their final or terminal degree more recently would have higher recovery knowledge/
attitudes scores, (2) participants who were most closely associated with the field of addiction would have significantly higher recovery knowledge and
attitudes scores, (3) individuals reporting that they were in recovery would have higher RKI scores, and (4) the pattern of mean RKI subscale scores would match those found in earlier research by Bedregal and colleagues. The results of this study failed to support the first three hypotheses, but the final hypothesis was supported. This research adds to the current body of knowledge on the
subject, and may be used to guide the university level training and workforce development efforts in Connecticut and nationally. Finally, the results of this study will guide the developers of the RKI at Yale University in making future modifications to the RKI instrument.

▼ In the spring semester of 2007, a random survey was distributed to 170 Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) students. The objectives of this research were to look for relationships between age, gender, education and media and the environment and global climate change. The results of the study did speak to possible relationships between the original four hypothesis:
H1: The older you are, the more likely you are to be aware of the issues of global
climate change. Results for questions 8, 10, and 14, determined that participants ages 29+ heard more about global climate change; felt they understood global climate change more; and had heard or read about international agreements Kyoto and Bonn. Analysis demonstrated that there are relationships between age and global climate change and that the older the participant, the greater the awareness level of global climate change.
H2: There are differences in perceptions and awareness levels of global climate change between males and females. Results for questions 8, 9, 10, 12,14,18,19, 20, and 22 determined that more males than females had heard about global climate change; thought global climate change was having a serious impact now; understood global climate change better; believed global climate change is caused by normal climate patterns; had heard or read about Kyoto and Bonn agreements; identified themselves as “environmentalists”; listened to the daily news more often; and thought that the media was not a reliable news source for global climate change than female participants. The survey results suggest that gender does determine a difference in perceptions and awareness of global climate change.
H3: The more education one has, the more aware they are of the effects of global
climate change. Results for questions no. 8, 10, 14, and 15, determined that upperclassmen knew more about global climate change; felt they better understood global climate change; and had heard or read about the Kyoto and Bonn international agreements and approved of the limits they instill on greenhouse gas emissions. The survey results suggest that there are relationships between the level of education or “Academic Year” of the participants and understanding of global climate change.
H4: The frequency and type of media one is exposed to will influence the level of awareness of global climate change. Results for questions no. 19 and 20 determined that a majority of older participants, ages 29+, read or listened to the daily news and at a greater frequency than younger participants, ages 18-28. Results for questions no. 19, 20, and 22 determined that more male than female participants read or listened to the daily news at a greater frequency and believe that the media is not a reliable source for information regarding global climate change. Results for questions no. 19, 20, 21, and 22 determined that more upperclassmen than underclassmen read or listen to the daily news and at a greater frequency; are more interested in global issues; and believe that the media is a…
