Abstract:

Workplace bullying is a serious and frequently occurring workplace issue that can have a number of negative, sometimes devastating consequences for employees who are targeted. At the same time, there are many employees who, despite being exposed to frequent and persistent bullying in the workplace do not label themselves bullied. This thesis investigated a number of behavioural, individual and contextual variables that were predicted to have an influence on the perceived severity of workplace bullying behaviours and the actual labelling of the behaviours as bullying using established workplace

Abstract:

The field of educational technology is continually looking to more precisely understand the relationship between leadership, technology-related beliefs, technology resources, supportive environment and technology implementation in classrooms. Previous research has identified relationships between these factors. However, the types of predictors examined, the quality of the dependent variables used and the sophistication of the statistical tools used have sometimes been lacking. This research evaluated these factors within the context of the IMPACT project a three-year technology-enrichment inte

Abstract:

<p> Postpartum depression (PPD) is a heterogeneous syndrome that is one of the most common complications of childbirth. Previous literature suggests that seven to twenty percent of U.S. women experience perinatal mood symptoms, making PPD treatment vital for the well-being of mothers and their infants. However, there is a paucity of literature focusing on the perinatal experiences of women of color, including Muslim women, which suggests further research is needed to better understand PPD in this population.

Abstract:

Behavioral momentum theory proposes that the persistence of behavior when exposed to disruptors provides an appropriate measure of the strength of behavior. Basic research has consistently demonstrated that behaviors that occurred in a context with higher overall rates of reinforcement (rich contexts) were more persistent than other behaviors that have occurred in a context with relatively lower rates of reinforcement (lean contexts). More surprisingly, behavioral momentum theory goes on to assert that this greater persistence in richer contexts is found even when rate of responding is lower

The paper-and-pencil integrity test, which is used in industry as an employee selection device, has been largely developed outside the mainstream of psychological testing.

Studies have shown that response distortion, or faking, is a problem with all types of tests, integrity tests being no exception.

Abstract:

Over recent decades, the performance benefits of diversification strategies have been the topic of much academic discussion. Conceptually, there has been much debate about the benefits and drawbacks of diversification, and the resulting empirical findings to date have been inconclusive. In this thesis it is proposed that to advance this literature, the conditions and mechanisms that may impact the diversification–performance relationship be considered. The thesis specifically investigates how key unexplored contingent factors shape the relationship between various forms of diversification (i.e

Abstract:

In recent years intergroup contact research has called for analyzing the effects of both positive and negative contact experiences on attitudes, affective variables, and intergroup appraisals and the possible explanatory role of individual differences in such effects. Relying on these research topics and to the related literature, we conducted five studies with different methodologies: three cross-sectional (NStudy1=347, NStudy2=307, NStudy3=374), one longitudinal (NStudy4=565), and one employing a diary method (NStudy5=365). Throughout these studies, we examined how positive and negative cont

Abstract:

State federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies are one of the most wide spread and oldest programs designed to help individuals with disabilities. Currently, VR agencies provide various services designed to aide individuals with disabilities obtaining and maintaining employment. Currently, VR agencies serve approximately 1 million individuals with disabilities and spend about 3 billion dollars annually. Given how large and the amount of state and federal dollars are spent on VR, it is important that the outcomes of this program are researched and evaluated. The purpose of this study was

Abstract:

In the face of maternal illness, adolescent daughters are thought to be at risk for emotional problems (e.g., Compas et al., 1994; Compas et al., 1996). This may be due to a number of variables, including those related to the functional impact of the disease, perceptions of increased personal risk, or other individual and family influences. To date, however, adolescent daughters of ill mothers remain an understudied population and variables for predicting or explaining adjustment problems in this group have not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine the disease,
