Abstract:

In this dissertation, I distinguish between two types of mortality salience, namely mortality salience of self (MSS) and mortality salience of a loved one (MSLO). Based on a need salience mechanism, I predict and find in four studies that MSS individuals prefer social status choice options over social experience choice options; whereas MSLO individuals prefer social experience choice options over social status choice options. Further, these effects are more pronounced among MSS individuals high in independent self-construal, and MSLO individuals high in interdependent self-construal. This diss

Abstract:

<p> Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom are the first long-term wars fought with an all-volunteer army. This has led to fewer available soldiers who are deployed more frequently and for longer periods of time. The impact of these deployments is significant and has been found to increase likelihood for substance abuse, mental health disorders, and concerns in the veteran, or service member’s, social functioning and overall adjustment upon returning to civilian life. There have been significant developments in our understanding of these issues, as well as effective

Abstract:

In the United States, the occurrence of Alzheimer's dementia is growing. This chronic illness is highly prevalent in the elderly population. Studies have advised that the elderly population is primarily affected by this chronic illness as age progresses. Aging may lead to mental or physical deterioration. This chronic illness can be extremely challenging for the spousal caregivers involved and the challenging decisions that must be made. There remains a crucial gap in the literature concerning the challenges experienced by spousal caregivers and how they cope with these factors daily. Specific

Abstract In 2016, a dramatic shift occurred in demographics in the United States because the oldest people in the baby boomer generation, which consists of people born between 1946 and 1964, reached age 65. The larger aging population and longer lifespans have produced an increased need for care and services. There are an estimated 5.4 million Americans of varying ages living with a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease are more prevalent among African Americans than other ethnicities. With little research found on culturally appropriate interventions f

Abstract:

This thesis explores the impact of deployment to a warzone with the Australian Army on intimate relationships. It examines the applicability of two relationship theoretical frameworks for this cohort and has resulted in a new application of these theoretical frameworks, and extended the current evidence base as to how military deployment can impact intimate relationships. The findings provide a unique evidence-based platform on which to develop targeted education for civilian intimate partners and military personnel pre- and post-deployment.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative disease that progressively impacts physical, psychological and social functioning resulting in diminished quality of life (D'Antonio, Zimmerman, & Iacono, 2000; Den Oudsten, Van Heck, & De Vries, 2007; Montel, Bonnet, & Bungener, 2009). The negative effects of PD are not only experienced by persons with PD but also their loved ones – such as their spouses and to a lesser extent their adult-children – because they become the primary caregivers as the disease progresses (D’Amelio et al., 2009).

Abstract George Elliott Clarke's 1999 opera Beatrice Chancy is the story of the daughter of a slave owner and a slave in Nova Scotia in 1801. It addresses Canada's ignorance about its history of slavery from 1689-1834. The play shows how love becomes perverted in a society in which bodies can be owned, to the point that the landscape becomes "transfigured by unfulfilled love" (143). Québécité, on the other hand, is an opera about two interracial couples getting married in contemporary Quebec City. It is Clarke's utopia and Beatrice's dream: a world where love is possible across any historical

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Globalization and an exponential increase in cross-border migration have led to a redefining of belonging and membership. It is argued that the question of belonging is no longer a question of residential geography and ties to location, but one that is constructed in light of a decline of the meaning of fixed place in an ever more globalized world. Globalization has facilitated a rise of alternatives to place-bound identity. Yet, when refugees face the experiences of death and burial of loved ones in exile, they seem to cling to fixed place as the base for asserting their ident

Abstract:

Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel experience direct traumatic exposure that can leave a lasting negative impact. However, little is known about the vicarious exposure that EMS personnel experience at challenging calls when family and loved ones are present at the scene.

In order to add to the substantial body of literature on EMS personnel and traumatic exposure, this study explored their experiences of multifaceted traumati
