Abstract:

In Lycia, Xanthos and its main sanctuary, the Letoon, have throughout centuries kept some very particular features which have survived intense cultural upheavals and influences both Persian and Greeks. The infrastructures and shape of the Letoon indicates that there is more to the sanctuary’s rituals and architecture than normalised Greek divinities and temples. Lycia, following the Persian invasion in the 540s, remained a remote region of the empire and benefited from an autonomous status. Nevertheless the outside contacts and cultural exchanges multiplied and intensified, especially with the

Abstract:

Mental Health in America is a continuous and on ongoing concern for families across the nation. For African Americans there are certain contributing factors that can increase the likelihood that an individual will suffer from a mental health disorder. African Americans have been identified as persons who are less likely to seek mental health services. By using the positivist paradigm, the research question, “What Impact Does Religious Beliefs Have Among African American Attitudes Towards Getting Mental Health Services? is explored.

Les valeurs culturelles et leur impact sur les attitudes et les comportements ont longtemps été un objet de débat.

La France est un cas singulier, offrant un contexte historique et culturel particulièrement intéressant pour l’étude de ce sujet.

With the background that Jewish women stay in abusive marriages twice as long as their non-Jewish American counterparts, we attempt to understand the religious and cultural factors that may inhibit Jewish women from leaving violent relationships, and examine Scriptural and Rabbinic texts as to Jewish beliefs regarding spousal violence.

This dissertation is a qualitative study of how femininities are shaped by religion and culture. Since religion and culture is a very broad field, this study attempts to examine how femininities are shaped by notions of 'pollution' during menstruation and childbirth.

Concern about privacy is an important consideration for users of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly when using computer-mediated communication (CMC), i.e. Internet usage.

This study investigates the spiritual subjectivities of pastors in the Mainstream White Middle Class Evangelical Church in the context of American capitalism.

Abstract:

The Catholic Church tenets are in dissonance with American Counseling Association (ACA) ethical guidelines regarding same-sex sexual orientation. While homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual II as a disorder, the Catholic Church upholds same-sex sexual acts as grave depravity and disordered. Catholic counselors may face the dilemma of adhering to their religious tenets or their professional guidelines in working with gay men and lesbian women clients. Previous research has indicated that values conflicts between religious beliefs and ACA Ethical Codes on same-sex

Abstract:

Studies have shown consistent sex differences on how men and women view their aggression, with men viewing it as an instrumental act, as a way of achieving a specific goal, white women view it as an expressive act, as a temporary loss of self control. The Expressions of Aggression Scale (EXPAGG) consisting of the instrumental and expressive scales was developed for investigating these beliefs. Most of the studies on the EXPAGQ have been conducted on Western samples, particularly British samples. The first aim of the present research endeavour was to investigate cultural differences on beliefs

Abstract:

This research applied a cultural evolutionary framework in addressing two essentialist beliefs related to health and gender. The first part of the thesis focused on whether genetic essentialist cognition translates to biased transmission of genetic etiological information, using a generational learning experimental method. The second study extended this question to include individual factors (e.g., perceived vulnerability to diseases) that may influence the retention and transmission of genetic-based etiological information. Both studies showed that disorder framing affected which etiology is
