Relationship Between Community Satisfaction And Migration Intentions Of Rural Nebraskans, Rebecca J. Vogt, John C. Allen, Sam Cordes Apr 2003

Relationship Between Community Satisfaction And Migration Intentions Of Rural Nebraskans, Rebecca J. Vogt, John C. Allen, Sam Cordes

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

Though many nonmetropolitan counties in the United States experienced population gains in the 1990s, many of the nonmetropolitan counties in the Great Plains continued to experience population declines. Thus, the reasons that people are moving need to be explored. This paper examines possible reasons by analyzing the relationship between community satisfaction and migration intentions of nonmetropolitan Nebraskans. Data used for this analysis were from an annual survey mailed to 6,500 residents living in nonmetropolitan counties in the state. The survey data were analyzed at two levels. First, demographic comparisons were made between those who planned to stay in their communities …

Us-Japan Relations : Convergence And Divergence In The Post-September 11th World, Brian Bridges Apr 2003

Us-Japan Relations : Convergence And Divergence In The Post-September 11th World, Brian Bridges

CAPS Working Paper Series

Japan-US relations, which had been drifting in the late 1990s, were given a new lease of life by the new administrations of US President George W. Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro, both of whom argued for strengthening the alliance. This paper argues that, although the new sense of cooperation extended through to beyond the September 11th events, the US designation of an ‘axis of evil’ has paradoxically caused some divergence in the relationship. Japanese policies towards all three constituents countries of the ‘axis of evil’, Iraq, North Korea and Iran, differ in emphasis and nature from those of …

Grandparents As Family Caregivers: Lessons For Intergenerational Education, Nancy P. Kropf, Denise Burnett Apr 2003

Grandparents As Family Caregivers: Lessons For Intergenerational Education, Nancy P. Kropf, Denise Burnett

SW Publications

The number of grandparents who have responsibility for raising grandchildren has increased dramatically over the past several decades. From an educational perspective, content on custodial grandparents can promote an increased interest in, and understanding of, the complexities of aging by stressing the intergenerational aspects of this family form. This paper describes the growing population of custodial grandparents, and the larger socio environmental contexts of these families. In addition, it highlights instructional approaches for including content on grandparent-headed families within didactic and experiential courses.

Situational Context And Personality Influences On Motor Performance: A Test Of Self-Determination Theory, Trena N. Thompson Apr 2003

Situational Context And Personality Influences On Motor Performance: A Test Of Self-Determination Theory, Trena N. Thompson

Master's Theses - Daytona Beach

This research attempted to predict motor performance through consideration of an individual's personality orientation and the manipulation of motivation through priming a specified situational context. The effect of the personality orientation and situational prime on self-handicapping was also analyzed. Hypotheses were derived from key concepts of self-determination theory, specifically causality orientation theory, and previous work by Hodgins and colleagues (in press). The results of the study indicated that motor performance was not predicted by personality, situational prime, or the interaction of the two variables.

700 Inches On The Media, Leanne Josephson Apr 2003

700 Inches On The Media, Leanne Josephson

WWU Honors College Senior Projects

Working at a professional publication is the most valuable experience an aspiring journalist can have. An internship at a daily newspaper provides insight into the operation of a news organization, the role of a newspaper in a community and the stresses of working in a place governed by dollars and deadlines. More importantly, it provides practical experience in gathering, writing and reporting the news. For this reason, I chose to extend my internship at The Olympian for my Honors project. I worked 160 hours at the newspaper, hours that turned out to be both more valuable and more rewarding than …
