Beyond The "Ferguson Effect" On Crime: Examining Its Influence On Law Enforcement Personnel, Chrystina Hoffman, Joshua Hinkle, Logan S. Ledford
Beyond The "Ferguson Effect" On Crime: Examining Its Influence On Law Enforcement Personnel, Chrystina Hoffman, Joshua Hinkle, Logan S. Ledford
CJC Publications
The purpose of the current study is to examine the influence tensions over high-profile officer-involved shootings have had on Atlanta police officers’ ability to do their jobs and whether these impacts vary by officer race. Data was collected between August and October of 2016. A total of 241 police officers across six zones completed the self-administered survey. Findings indicate that while white officers, on average, felt the impacts of recent tensions surrounding officer-involved shootings more strongly, non-white officers were more likely to say they would leave policing if offered a better paying job in another field. This study provides insight …

Navigating The Human Side Of Workplace Conflict: A Comparative Study Of Organizational Ombuds' Similarities And Differences, Linda Kovack
Navigating The Human Side Of Workplace Conflict: A Comparative Study Of Organizational Ombuds' Similarities And Differences, Linda Kovack
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
Navigating the human side of workplace conflict poses challenges. A gap in knowledgeexists within an alternative dispute resolution option known as the organizational ombuds. Prior research referenced the ombuds' perception of his/her own role and functionality yet did not explore ombuds in differing organizational sectors. The research I explored was: What are the similarities and differences among and between ombuds in employment environments of higher education, the public or private sector, and the federal government? To address this question, I presented comprehensive case study profiles on a total of 8 organizations: 3 in higher education, 3 in the federal government, …

A Democratic Turn Within Democratic Socialism? State-Centric And Anti-Statist Visions Of Socialism And The Challenge Of Democratic Mirroring, Ali Aslam, David W. Mcivor, Joel Alden Schlosser
A Democratic Turn Within Democratic Socialism? State-Centric And Anti-Statist Visions Of Socialism And The Challenge Of Democratic Mirroring, Ali Aslam, David W. Mcivor, Joel Alden Schlosser
Political Science Faculty Research and Scholarship
In this paper, we theorize the democratic aspect of democratic socialism through some of its recent, theoretical articulations and several of its historical, fugitive appearances. To illustrate a potential democratic turn, we highlight how these moments reflect a paradox of democratic spirit: the necessity of cultivating collective consciousness of popular power, while also acknowledging the limits of this power through a lingering attachment to the liberal democratic state as the means of achieving or supporting a democratic socialist vision. We call this democratic mirroring, which exceeds a concept of representation centered on the constitutional state. Although the state should be …

A Systematic Literature Review Of Sport Leadership In Youth Sport, Christopher J. Michalski, Seungbum Lee
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper was to complete a systematic literature review (SLR) of previous articles about leadership in youth sports. While sport leadership as a subject matter has contributed to the body of sport management and its academically associated literature for decades, seemingly, there exists a lack of understanding of this subject matter in the context of youth sport. Two rounds of screening process resulted in a sample of 20 appropriate articles for SLR. Then, the purposes, methods, and results, and of the 20 articles were analyzed. Based on the SLR of 20 articles, two salient themes were …

Understanding Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes And The Safety Needs Of Jewish People In South Florida, Ningxin Li
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
Approximately 514,000 Jewish immigrants fled from different countries during World War II and migrated to South Florida. They came from Poland, Russia, Cuba, Brazil, France, Syria, Israel, and other countries, hoping to find a more tolerant and secure place to raise their families. However, anti-Semitic violence and incidents have occurred over the years. This dissertation relies on Social Identity Theory and Human Needs Theory to understand the causes of the conflicts among the different groups. Using a quantitative methodology, the author collected information on participants’ perceptions toward anti-Semitism and safety needs. This study included 300 participants of the second and …

The Relationship Between Bodyweight Status And Weight Perception Explains Differences In Calories Ordered In A Food Choice Exercise, Jean-Claude Mbarushimana, Christopher Gustafson, Henriette Gitungwa, Eliana Zeballos
Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications
Understanding food choice is critical to be able to address the rise in obesity rates around the globe. In this paper, we examine the relationship between measured (BMI, using self-reported height and weight) and perceived weight status with the number of calories ordered in a controlled online food choice exercise. A total of 1044 participants completed an online food choice exercise in which they selected ingredients for a sandwich from five categories: meat/protein, cheese, spread/dressing, bread, and vegetables. We examine the number of calories ordered by participants and use linear regression to study the relationship of BMI category relative to …

Perceptions Of Black Immigrant Workers Regarding Workplace Diversity In Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Lalekan Bolutife Oluwadele
Perceptions Of Black Immigrant Workers Regarding Workplace Diversity In Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Lalekan Bolutife Oluwadele
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Globalization has resulted in permeable boundaries resulting in a highly mobile labor force. Canada's multicultural environment and its Federal Skilled Worker's Policy, renamed the Express Entry Program, attract many immigrants seeking employment opportunities comparable to their qualifications and work experience. Instead of equality and advancement, black immigrants are often underpaid and face few opportunities for advancement. Research has indicated that strong diversity policies and management are promising solutions to these issues. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perception of skilled Black immigrants' workplace experiences and diversity strategies to mitigate discriminatory practices. Johnson's polarity management, as adapted in Benet's polarity …

服務學習是香港以及全球不少中學及大學廣為採用、深具成效的一種經驗教學法。透過學生、導師、社區夥伴及教育機構的攜手合作,服務學習帶領學生走出課室去服務社區。學生得以學以致用,服務社區。社區在另一方面給予學生生動實在的教育,同時也受益於學生的服務。
現時針對服務學習的研究普遍著重對學生發展的益處,較少對社區夥伴或所服務社區的影響。其中一個原因是,現已有不少可以量度服務學習對學生學習的影響的工具,但對於有效地量度服務學習對社區的影響仍然存在不少困難,並且缺乏工具。
有見及此,我們希望此「社區影響反饋問卷」能填補這個缺口。此問卷旨於從社區夥伴的角度,去瞭解服務學習對他們以及服務受眾的影響。問卷涵蓋三個範疇並通過三方面評估服務學習對社區夥伴的影響,即:實現機構使命、增加機構資源,及獲得新知識、洞見、想法及技巧。同時亦包括量度服務受眾獲益於服務學習項目的程度、對整體社區影響、社區協作夥伴會否繼續參與及推薦服務學習等題項,藉此取得相關的關鍵績效指標。
此用戶手冊詳細介紹此「社區影響反饋問卷」可以如何使用。附錄亦載有問卷的中譯本。我們希望中譯本能協助更多社區夥伴參與評估服務學習項目對社區的影響,並將他們的經驗轉化成範例,促進服務學習的進一步發展,並為社區帶來更深遠及持續的好處。

In-Flux: Economic And Community Adaptations Of Former Timber Mill-Towns In The American West, Cherilyn P. Ashmead
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
Once built around natural resource extractive industries, rural communities’ economies are changing as the United States is transitioning away from its industrial past. While much research has focused on rural economic shifts from natural resource production toward amenity-driven economies (Morzillo et al., 2015; Winkler et al, 2007), less research has explored the economic and demographic trends in areas pursuing new modes of production. This two-part study focuses on an understudied region with historic ties to timber in dry mixed-conifer forests, much of which are under federal land management. With few natural amenity draws, the region has largely maintained production-based sectors. …

Examining Incidents Of Sexual Misconduct Reported To Title Ix Coordinators: Results From New York’S Institutions Of Higher Education, Tara Richards, Taylor Claxton, Lane Kirkland Gillespie
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
A paucity of studies has examined incidents of sexual misconduct reported to Title IX coordinators at institutions of higher education (IHEs) or examined differences across types of IHEs. We used 2018 data from incidents of sexual misconduct (N = 3,829) reported to Title IX coordinators at IHEs in New York (N = 209) to examine the context, processes, and outcomes of reported incidents. Findings show that most incidents reported to Title IX coordinators did not prompt the IHE’s conduct process; “other” disciplinary sanctions were the favored response for responsible students, while suspensions and/or expulsions were rarely used. Further data collection …

The ‘Other’ In The Bowels Of The Hegemon: Us Media Portrayals Of Guam During The United States-North Korea Tensions.Pdf, Eduard Fabregat, Farooq Kperogi
Faculty Articles
This article explores how America’s mainline institutional media portrayed Guam, an unincorporated US territory in the Pacific Ocean that is home to important American military bases, in a time of heightened tensions between the United States and North Korea. Guamanians represent marginal racial ‘others’ who are nonetheless ensconced in a consequential part of the US military architecture. Using a combination of topic modelling and network analysis, our study analysed 2480 articles from 44 different mainstream newspapers in the United States between April 2017 and June 2018 in order to examine the contradictory depiction of an ‘other’ that is simultaneously foreign …

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
Investigations of how past human societies managed during times of major climate change can inform our understanding of potential human responses to ongoing environmental change. In this study, we evaluate the impact of environmental variation on human communities over the last four millennia in the southern Lake Titicaca basin of the Andes, known as Lake Wiñaymarka. Refined paleoenvironmental reconstructions from new diatom-based reconstructions of lake level together with archaeological evidence of animal and plant resource use from sites on the Taraco Peninsula, Bolivia, reveal frequent climate and lake-level changes within major cultural phases. We posit that climate fluctuations alone do …

Monolingual And Bilingual Reading Processes In Russian: An Exploratory Scanpath Analysis, Olga Parshina, Irina A. Sekerina, Anastasiya Lopukhina, Titus Von Der Malsburg
Publications and Research
In the present study, we used a scanpath approach to investigate reading processes and factors that can shape them in monolingual Russian-speaking adults, 8-year- old children, and bilingual Russian-speaking readers. We found that monolingual adults’ eye movement patterns exhibited a fluent scanpath reading process, representing effortless processing of the written material: They read straight from left to right at a fast pace, skipped words, and regressed rarely. Both high-proficiency heritage-language speakers’ and second graders’ eye movement patterns exhibited an intermediate scanpath reading process, characterized by a slower pace, longer fixations, an absence of word skipping, and short regressive saccades. Second-language …

Here To Stay: Understanding The Political Activism And Legal Consciousness Of Undocumented Latinx Students, Ashley Arely Sanchez
Here To Stay: Understanding The Political Activism And Legal Consciousness Of Undocumented Latinx Students, Ashley Arely Sanchez
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
This study seeks to understand why undocumented Latinx students tend to engage or disengage in political activism. The study discusses undocumented legal consciousness development to bring awareness to how policies can impact students’ sense of belonging and agency when entering higher education institutions. Data comes from eleven in-depth interviews with undocumented Latinx students who have or are attending a public or private college or university in Illinois. Results suggest that students will become engaged when the following three factors are present: an academic political opportunity, connection with an activist network, a shift in legal consciousness. Results also suggest that students …
Exploring The Causal Role Of Inferences Elicited By Accompanying Text In Aesthetic Experiences, Christian C. Steciuch
Exploring The Causal Role Of Inferences Elicited By Accompanying Text In Aesthetic Experiences, Christian C. Steciuch
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Appreciating paintings has been shown to be partly based on the viewer’s knowledge of the artwork. One technique that provides background knowledge to viewers is through text that is shown alongside artwork. Knowledge of the artwork can also arise from inferential processes regarding the artwork. Relatively little research has explored the role of accompanying text and inferential processes on aesthetic responses. The current study assessed the causal role of accompanying text and inference-making across cognitive (e.g., understanding) and emotional (e.g., positive affect) aesthetic responses. It was hypothesized that aesthetic responses would increase with the amount of accompanying text paired with …
