▼ Theories from the social psychology literature have posited that members of cultural groups are exposed to more frequent and damaging stressors, such as prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. Additional research has examined this concept in the context of individuals who belong to multiple minority groups, proposing that effects may cumulate for these individuals, thus they may experience additional psychological distress beyond that experienced by members of a single minority group. In the suicidology literature, research has found that members of minority groups have differential rates of suicide. Extrapolating these findings, the aim of the current study was to compare rates of suicidal ideation broadly across three groups: non-minority, single-minority, and multiple minority groups in order to identify populations who are at a higher risk for suicide. For the purposes of this study, individuals were classified as a minority through several distinct characteristics through which they self-identified, including ethnicity, sex, and sexual orientation. Specifically, it was hypothesized that the multiple-minority group would have the significantly highest level of suicidal ideation compared to the single-minority and non-minority groups. Next, the single-minority group was expected to have significantly higher levels of suicidal ideation compared to the non-minority group. Furthermore, the two minority groups were hypothesized to experience significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation overall compared to the non-minority group. An omnibus, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze study findings. Results of the overall ANOVA model were non-significant; however, based on a priori hypotheses and an examination of the means plot of group differences in expected directions, exploratory non-orthogonal (planned comparisons) were conducted. Results of the planned comparisons indicated there was a significant difference between the non-minority group and both the single and multiple minority groups when compared simultaneously. This result suggests that simply belonging to a minority group increases one's risk for suicidal thinking. Advisors/Committee Members: Wingate, LaRicka R.

▼ This study is primarily concerned with assessing the dimensions and extent of marginalization that is uttered in the current social organization of Ayille minority groups-one of the marginalized social groups in broader-spectrum of Wolaitta society. It emphasizes on the fundamental characteristics of social organization such as family configuration, marriage, genesis and class structure and beliefs and rituals of Ayille groups. Moreover, the study explores the overall living condition of Ayilles in terms of the economic, social and political facets within the socio-cultural endeavors of the host society. A cross sectional qualitative method was employed (in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and case studies) involving a total of 37 in-depth interview informants, 6 focus group discussions constituting 6 individuals in each group and 11 cases selected through purposive and snowball sampling in 3 purposively selected sites(Gacheno,Buge and Mokonisa). Traditionally, this group lost the rights and privileges in the society at large and did not get equal treatment similar to other people. In the years before 1974 revolution, some of them did not own essential resources like land and livestock of any kind. They were restricted in social interaction and prohibited from participating in social activities collectively with the dominant groups. However, after 1974 revolution the living condition of Ayilles generally improved since they gained access to land. Accompanied with this, the social relationship they had with the host society enhanced. The recent conversion to Christianity in the areas, the economic improvement in their lives could be mentioned as some of the causes for their recognition. Even so, although they are better off economically in the course of share cropping and rearing arrangements, their social life is still subjected to restriction which is in plain sight mainly in production activities, social interaction and commensality, submissive greetings and stereotypic image about this group, and most stunningly in the issue of intermarriage.

▼ Minority cultures have a history of voicelessness. If in the past lack of voice was conditioned by dominating majority groups and discriminating social structures, at present this needs to be seen in relation to the unequal distribution of tools and platforms that can enable expression, communication, and participation in the public sphere of discourse. The growing importance and ubiquity of information and communication technologies (ICTs) create new premises and open new possibilities for the exercise of voice. Moreover, appropriation of ICTs by minority cultures is not only a matter of access, but requires deeper consideration of how the uptake of ICTs affects the existing community dynamics, knowledge production, and communication practices. This study engages with such issues, examining the conditions under which ICTs can support minority communities in ways that respond to local needs and goals and are consonant with local worldviews and epistemologies. To this purpose, it draws on the body of knowledge studying the use of ICTs for community development, focusing on poor, disadvantaged, and marginalised groups. The research was designed to favour the emergence of local views through inductive reasoning, grounded investigation, and a cyclic approach to data generation and analysis. Two complementary methodological approaches were used. Participatory Action Research informed the design, implementation, and assessment of a participatory content production experience involving two rural Romani communities in South-Eastern Romania. Grounded Theory, a methodology for inductive theory generation, was used as the overarching framework for the research design, and provided principles and procedures for case selection, data generation and analysis, and transferability of outcomes. The main results of this study can be synthesized as follows: 1. Context-Responsive Action: a methodological framework for the design, implementation and evaluation of community media initiatives. 2. Conceptual contributions: an examination of the conditions for community involvement in the design of technology-enhanced communication processes and artefacts. 3. A web design format: a template for community websites that reflects the systematic design approach employed, favouring orality, first-person narratives, and interpretation of web design components through local perspectives. 4. Two community websites: two specific instantiations of the design format for the rural communities involved in this research. The main original contribution of this study may be considered the concept of context-responsiveness, i.e. the capacity of a socio-technical environment to single out evolution of needs and goals and to devise ways for dynamically adapting to meet them. Three strategies for instantiating context- responsiveness are proposed: learning, envisioning, and alignment. Learning expands the knowledge base on ICTs and makes explicit views, needs, and wants. Envisioning builds upon this foundation to give direction and purpose to the appropriation… Advisors/Committee Members: Paolo (Dir.).

▼ Few debates spark as much interest as the controversy over how to increase access to higher education, particularly for racial minority groups. Despite the knowledge accumulated on the benefits of diversity, the higher education community knows very little about the determinants of minority student enrollment, or what universities can do to affect minority student representation. This dissertation seeks to investigate the factors that affect variance in minority student enrollment levels at public universities, with particular attention devoted to the political environment. This analysis of the relationship between political institutions and public universities draws on a number of subliteratures in public administration and political science, including theories of political control, descriptive representation, and public management. As one of the first major studies of the politics of higher education, the analysis draws on untapped data that allow for better tests of many of these theories. These data include measures of university enrollments, drawn from the Department of Education?s Integrated Postsecondary Education Dataset and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, data on political institutions, including racial representation, and interviews of university administrators. The quantitative analysis uses a combination of methods, including ordinary least squares, hierarchical linear modeling, and descriptive statistics. Using a framework of governance to link these subliteratures together allows for progress toward more general theories about the relationship between political institutions and bureaucracy. Substantively, this analysis also adds to our understanding of what factors affect minority enrollments. Chapter V uncovers the redistributive effect of the Hopwood case and California?s Proposition 209, and chapter VI builds on this finding, by testing for the effect of minority representation in state legislatures. Chapter VII then takes a closer look at the Texas system, investigating the effect of the Grutter decisions on enrollments, particularly at the flagship institutions. Overall, findings point to the importance of university-specific characteristics – such as the institution?s level of selectivity and the values held by the university – in moderating the influence of political institutions, particularly of court cases and state-level interventions, on minority student enrollment levels.

▼ This dissertation expands the body of research available on the Muslim minority in Thailand, particularly in regard to conflicts in the Lower South. Working within the framework of moderate multiculturalism and secularism, the dissertation seeks to understand how Muslim professionals see the relationship between Islamic representative bodies and the Thai state, the roles of Islamic institutions and their religious conduct in relation to wider Thai society. The fieldwork conducted in 2008 and 2009 shows similarities and differences between Muslim professionals inside and outside of the Lower South in relation to these issues. In general, Muslim professionals support national integration and multiculturalism. In the Lower South in particular, they support national integration on the condition that it supports Muslim identity. Most interviewees believe that Islamic representative bodies play integrative roles. However, this is not seen as beneficial to the Muslim community and improvements are widely desired. Where the government and the representative bodies have not been able to resolve the unrest in the Lower South, local civil society organizations have taken an active peace-making role, with the aim of promoting Muslim identity under the Thai Constitution. This dissertation also examines attitudes to mosques and Islamic education through interviewees' perspectives. The research shows that Muslim professionals expect mosques to perform a community-based role. More specifically, interviewees in the Lower South suggested cooperation between local administrative organizations and mosque committees, whereas those based elsewhere in Thailand recommended that mosques should provide social services inclusive to non-Muslim society. On Islamic education, most wished to see improvements. Some interviewees, mainly outside the Lower South, shared the government's view regarding connections between the unrest in the southernmost provinces and traditional and private Islamic schools, in consideration of which they believed that the government itself should take the leading role in providing Islamic education. On the other hand, interviewees in the Lower South mainly took the view that Islamic school development is obstructed by the unrest which the government has not been able to resolve. Therefore, their suggestions involved improving secular curricula and introducing more meaningful and integrative religious teachings, aimed at academic excellence. The research further shows that the religious conduct of Muslim professionals and their perspectives on it are significantly connected to their social environment. While Muslim interviewees both inside and outside the Lower South do not limit themselves to consuming halal-signed food only, those living outside the Lower South, where Muslims are a minority, showed a greater willingness to compromise in relation to eating and drinking. Most women professionals outside the Lower South do not wear hijabs for justifiable reasons, while virtually all women in the Lower South do. Although…

▼ A pertinent educational issue in our country today is the minority achievement gap. One specific program that has been developed and implemented over the last several years in an effort to provide strong academic curriculum and to raise student achievement, including minority student achievement, is the College Boardâ s Advanced Placement (AP) Program. The AP Program courses are widely recognized as providing students with academically challenging curriculum, facilitating their acceptance to colleges and supporting their preparation for and performance in post-secondary education. The emphasis of this research relates to the specific concern that although the AP Program has been in existence for several decades and is an integral part of most high schoolsâ curriculum for at least ten years, there is an under-representation of minority students in high school Advanced Placement (AP) Program courses. This qualitative research involved completing an in-depth case study of a designated secondary school in the Mid-Atlantic region that has been successful in recruiting and enrolling students, majority and minority, in the AP Program. Guiding questions for this case study related to identifying the individuals who influenced enrollment, as well as the policies, procedures, interventions, and strategies used to recruit students and increase their enrollment in AP courses. These research findings revealed various key factors that contributed to the success of increasing student enrollment in these academic courses and the factors are similar to those identified in the literature and other research studies. These factors include: (a) shared and distributed leadership demonstrated across the school; (b) collaborative vision and mission; (c) an AP Program with high expectations and a relevant and rigorous curriculum; (d) strong academic advisement, data-driven decision making, and specific school policies and procedures related to the AP Program; (e) extended student learning opportunities and individualized support; and (f) varied professional development and training for faculty. This case study highlights a group of dedicated and committed leaders with collaborative vision who implemented an academic program with focused initiatives and interventions. Between 2003 and 2009, this school increased overall student enrollment in the AP Program by 15.2%, with the Black student enrollment increasing by 11.9% and the Hispanic student enrollment increasing by 10.5%. They accomplished their goal and commitment to increasing minority enrollment in the AP Program and providing enriched academic learning opportunities for all students.

▼ As the global nursing shortage is expected to continue over the next decade, and with the continuing rise in diversity of the American population, increasing the number of minority students prepared to enter the nursing workforce is imperative. An increase of ethnic minority enrollments for nursing programs nationwide is evident, yet completion rates for minorities are lower than their non-minority classmates. A remarkable burden has been placed on nurse educators to increase the number of professional nursing graduates for purposes of providing care both in both acute and non-acute settings due to current workforce demands in healthcare. The current study utilized a sample of eight minorities previously enrolled in associate degree nursing (ADN) programs in South Texas to understand the process of student decision-making when leaving a nursing program prior to fulfilling degree requirements. A qualitative, grounded-theory approach using Symbolic Interactionism as the philosophical framework was conducted using semi-structured interviews; data was analyzed through the use of open, axial, and selective coding. Major concepts identified from interviews and subsequent coding included personal circumstances, situational discomfort, redefining expectations, juggling priorities, and attempts to adapt. Utilizing the constant comparison technique two predominating categories surfaced during data analysis that included balancing and weighing the options. A description of the processes used by minority students in deciding to withdraw from their programs that will ultimately be used in a mature theory was created. This process incorporated educator and institutional implementations that would be necessary to achieve a goal of increasing the chances of success and degree completion for minority ADN students. Interventions suggested for increasing degree completion in minority ADN students include implementing information sessions prior to student enrollment in the nursing curriculum, pairing up incoming minority students with students in higher levels of the nursing program, seeking out well-qualified nursing faculty, increasing the quality and cultural sensitivity of material on nursing exams, and finding ways to help students find and afford child care. Advisors/Committee Members: Scott-Tilley, Donna (Committee Chair), Holden-Hutchton, Pam (committee member), Ziegler, Vicki (committee member), Esquibel, Karen (committee member).

▼ Traditionally, white males have filled science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce needs. Demographic projections indicating that the number of white males in the population is declining suggest that the United States must educate all its human capital, not only white males, in order to remain a leader in scientific innovation. Currently, underrepresented minority students leave STEM majors at a greater rate than white students, and have a lower graduation rate than white students. This study explored how an academic dean can support the persistence of underrepresented minority students in science and mathematics.; The subject was a Latina female dean of the College of Natural and Social Sciences at a majority minority institution, California State University Los Angeles. Through a case study analysis, multiple methods were used: interviews with the dean, faculty, executive level administrators, other staff and students as well as observations and document analysis. This study identified roles of the dean that support persistence of underrepresented minority students majoring in the natural and physical sciences.; This study's findings suggest the dean supports persistence through her fiscal management, faculty recruitment and development, outreach activities, and staying connected to students. One of the significant findings is that the dean possessed a student-centered mindset which drove her leadership. It was found that she considered students in all aspects of her leadership including: hiring, resource allocation, policy, advocacy, and assessment. This study found that it is the added dimension of her student-centered philosophy, personal commitment and role modeling that make a difference.; Recommendations for practice include: deans considering students in their decision-making; encouraging student-faculty interaction and rewarding it; remaining connected with students through teaching; professional development regarding student-centeredness; and assessing their learning environment.; Suggestions for further research include studies that examine this issue at a predominately white institution; comparative studies of students who participate in STEM programming vs. those who do not; studies that focus on how deans support persistence of women pursuing STEM degrees; a focus on engineering and technology deans; and a study focused solely on the effects of teaching on leadership.

▼ Much of the current literature about sexual minorities examines the experiences of lesbian- and gay-identified individuals. The current study was designed to facilitate increased understanding of sexuality for people who have multi-gendered attractions and sexual identities (e.g., bisexual, queer). This work extends beyond discrete binary categories and labels for sexual orientation, such as straight, gay, and lesbian. In the current examination of this expanded category, labeled as multisexual, it becomes important to shift not only the conceptualization of sexual orientation but also the nature of minority stress, from examining homophobia and heterosexism, to biphobia and monosexism. Under circumstances when an individual may have very little control over the stressor, such as prejudicial attitudes and discrimination, there is research to suggest that emotion-focused coping (specifically forgiveness) mitigates harmful mental health outcomes. The current study sought to address gaps in the current literature on LGB identities, including clearly assessing sexual identity, increased specificity in defining the population of study, and examining multidimensional relationships between variables (Diamond, 2003a). This study sought to estimate the fit of self-report data to a model of minority stress adapted from Meyer (2003), examining the interplay of minority stress, coping, and consequent health outcomes of people who are identify between and beyond the heterosexual and homosexual. Additionally, the study examined the ability of forgiveness and other styles of coping, including individual and LGBTQ community social support, to mitigate the expected negative association between minority stress and mental health and well-being. Participants (N = 207) identified with labels that embrace a more fluid concept of emotional, romantic, or sexual relationships (e.g., bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, PoMoSexual, questioning, unlabeled) and provided self-report data online. While the observed data did not provide a strong statistical fit with the hypothesized model of minority stress (Meyer, 2003), supplementary multiple regression analyses suggested a unique contribution of forgiveness in mitigating the detrimental relationship between oppression-related stress and mental health and well-being. The results of this study have significant implications for the intentional coping strategies of multisexual people and for mental health counselors providing such interventions. Implications for theory, research, and clinical practice are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: David H. Whitcomb.

▼ This dissertation presents research focused on leadership processes among Pacific public servants at multiple levels in the New Zealand Public Service. The current study was guided by this research question: What are the leadership processes currently employed by Pacific public servants in the New Zealand Public Service? This study also explored participants' views on the effect of Pacific cultural backgrounds and organisational contexts on their current experience of leadership processes. The exploration of the topic was developed within a post-positivist research paradigm, using phenomenological methodology to examine the leadership processes of Pacific public servants. It employs qualitative case studies of two New Zealand Public Service organisations in the Wellington region. I employed two data collection tools in these case studies. The first was the use of in-depth interviews, and the second was an analysis of relevant organisational documents. A total of sixteen Pacific public servants participated in my study, eight from each case organisation. The findings indicated that the Pacific participants understood leadership as a social process of collective influence within a context. Participants perceived participating, networking and relationship building, learning about leadership from cultural contexts, and practising the Pacific value of va as important leadership processes for their performance in the organisations in which they were working. This study also found that the organisations' key roles and leadership values, which are embedded in Pacific cultures, shaped participants' experiences of the leadership processes. The findings also highlight some factors that contribute to and constrain the Pacific public servants' leadership processes. This emphasises the need for diverse policies to encompass leadership development. This study also highlights the need for leadership support for Pacific public servants at all levels in their New Zealand organisations. Practical and future research recommendations gained from the findings are discussed. The study contributes to the field of leadership research on Pacific public servants in New Zealand, and provides a different perspective on leadership processes in general leadership theory.

The thesis explores the implications of European organizations on the minority protection in Estonia. The aim is to find out whether or not the conditionality used by the EU and enforced by the normative pressure of Council of Europe and OSCE in the membership negotiations resulted in permanent efforts by the political elites to improve minority protection. This is done by assessing the direction the minority protection has taken in the post-accession period. The theoretical framework consists of two models dominating the field of study: the rational choice based conditionality theory and the constructivist based socialization theory. The former offers an external incentives based model which suggests, on the one hand, that EU conditionality had the most significant impact on the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs), but on the other hand it also predicts that the compliance may deteriorate after EU membership has been gained. The latter model explains the effect of normative pressure on norms and values and proposes that the strategic calculation connected to compliance may develop into more norm-based behaviour. In addition to these theories the likely barriers to external influence on the domestic level are explained. These internal factors relate to the problems of democratic transitions, “stateness” and nationalisms, and to the historical legacies. They help to understand the sources of opposition which external pressure must break through in order to have an effect. The study is conducted by using the process tracing method, which explores the chain of events in the decision-making process by which initial case conditions are translated into case outcomes. This is done by unwrapping the cause and effect linking the independent variable and the outcome, and by breaking it into smaller pieces. Both primary and secondary data is used for conducting the study. The primary sources include parliamentary discussion, legislative texts, and regular content analysis of news reporting in Eesti Päevaleht, the main Estonian newspaper. In addition, a random selection of relevant newspaper articles from both Baltic and Finnish papers have beeen utilized. The secondary sources include monitoring reports of international organizations and of domestic and external NGOs, as well as various Estonian survey studies. The empirical findings suggest that the protection of the minorities has indeed deteriorated both on the legislative level and in form of implementation. This trend is also confirmed by the attitudes and motivations of the political actors. History is strongly present in the decision-making, and the goverment is pursuing a strategy of integration based mainly on the interests of the ethnic majority. However, there are signs of socialization on the centre-left of the political spectrum. The internationalization of the minority issues by the European organizations does not seem to have been very successful in the case of Estonia.
