Abstract:

With a focus on studio painting, this PhD research explores collaboration as a mode of cultural exchange and dialogue and an intervention strategy regarding the limits of solo practice. This practice-led inquiry was motivated by experiences of cultural exchange and dialogue during earlier honours research undertaken in mainland China. While living, studying and painting in Shanghai, cross-cultural encounters prompted a curiosity for unfamiliar ideas, perspectives and practices while simultaneously provoking reflections on familiar ideas, perspectives and practices. This was an insightful exper

Abstract:

This study investigates the process of translating English-language questionnaires and interview formats into Black African languages. The details of translation are invariably glossed in reports and publications on the use of translated psychological and psychiatric instruments. This results in a lack of clarity on how these translated instruments are produced and what difficulties are encountered in their development and use, suggesting the need for a detailed examination of the translation process. Researchers working in South Africa were interviewed with a semi-structured format in 1989. E

Abstract:

Introduction: Much of the cross-cultural literature in menstrual cycle attitude and symptom reporting has previously taken a unidimensional approach to designating individuals to cultural groups. This approach may not sufficiently describe the participants, and therefore conclusions drawn from this type of research may be flawed. Little of the previous literature has endeavoured to bring together menstruation, mood, and culture in order to examine menstruation using a biopsychosocial model. Additionally, the concept of alexithymia has been attached to anxiety and mood, however there is a pauci

Abstract:

Work-trauma, conceptually related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can impact general pathology as well as traumatic reactivity. Whilst usually associated with the emergency services, work-trauma occurs in all personnel repetitively exposed, as part of their job, to actual or potential traumatic incidents (such as fatalities, serious injuries, fires, riots, harassment, shooting incidents, rape incidents etc.). The (limited) understanding of work-trauma is essentially predicated on mono-cultural (North American) data and approaches. Although a useful start, this does not accommodate un

Data was collected using 19 semi-structured interviews in Ireland and the United States of America (US). The main findings are that US employees in the observed organizations are more inclined to adopt formalized information security policies and procedures than Irish employees, and are also more likely to have higher levels of compliance and lower levels of non-compliance.

Abstract:

This research investigated three main research questions. First, can the structure and nature of motivation for the consumption of luxury products be identified? Second, are there differences between consumers from different parts of the world in their motivation for consuming luxury products? Third, can cultural values be used to predict motivation for the consumption of luxury products? Data was obtained by way of an online survey at a New Zealand University, and via a mixed-mode survey at a public University in Thailand. A total of 307 (NZ n=130; Thai n=177) usable responses were obtained.

Abstract:

The teacher professional development component of the will, skill, tool model of technology integration was tested for predictive validity in the cross-cultural context of data from Texas, USA, and data from Mexico City, Mexico. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, path analysis, and multiple regression analysis, were statistical procedures employed. The analyses yielded positive results for the model's validity and reliability. The resulting model was found to be a reliable tool to evaluate technology integration among elementary and middle school teachers in Texas and in Mexico City.

The benefits of high self-efficacy beliefs for student learning is something that is widely acknowledged and supported within educational circles. High self-efficacy beliefs are known to help students set challenging goals, maintain commitment to their goals and persevere in the face of adversity. Hence, having high self-efficacy beliefs is often seen as the preferred state of being for students, resulting in copious amounts of research into how educators can help foster high self-efficacy beliefs.
