However, the possibility of allowing census users to create their own aggregates from census microdata, and for small areas, can lead to problems of disclosure by differencing.

Abstract:
Sexual Self-Disclosure is an important part of a relationship, however, often times, women do not feel it is appropriate to engage in. Specifically, many women do not disclose their sexual preferences, or what acts they do or do not find satisfying, with their partner. This lack of sexual self-disclosure keeps women from being able to have their own sexual needs met. This phenomenological study aimed to understand the factors that facilitate sexual self-disclosure for women in relationships.

The aim of the first phase of the research was to explore the self-disclosure process for children on the autistic spectrum. Self-disclosure refers to the process of an individual with autism telling others about their diagnosis. I wanted to find out what self-disclosure involved in schools and what support had been in place to create an environment where self-disclosure was considered appropriate. I thought it would be important to explore what sort of impact self-disclosure had on those involved. Case studies were carried out in order to explore the self-disclosure process in depth. Four par

Abstract:
This qualitative research explores working-class (educated) lesbian parents' identity management strategies within home and school contexts. Following an evaluation of epistemological debates and social science approaches to theorizing 'self, I highlight the utility of a feminist social constructionist approach to research, and the centrality of language and discourse in the constitution of lesbian parents' subjectivities. This work is informed by poststructuralist, feminist and psychological theories of identity and subjectivity and I take a 'relational approach' to explore ways in which hist

Abstract:
Research on reward allocations has consistently found differences in the manner in which men and women allocate rewards between themselves and others (Kahn, O'Leary, Krulewitz, & Lamm, 1980; Major & Adams, 1984; Major & Deaux, 1982). Overall, the research seems to suggest that when asked to divide a reward between themselves and a partner, men tend to use the equity norm to allocate rewards; whereas, women tend to use the equality norm to allocate rewards. However, a number of studies have been conducted which seem to demonstrate that a variety of situational g factors mediate the gender of al

Abstract:
Background Opinion is divided with regards to the extent to which client disclosure in therapy advantages clients. Furthermore, inconsistent research findings suggest the ease with which an individual discloses is a function of multiple influences. Objectives To explore the relationship between client non-disclosure in therapy and current eating disorder (ED) symptoms in individuals who had received treatment for an EO. A second aim was to investigate factors facilitating and inhibiting client self- disclosure; in particular client shame, the therapeutic alliance, and therapist self- disclosur

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to explore what women who are, or have been, in therapy for an eating disorder find helpful about that therapy. Since the perspectives and voices of women in therapy are largely absent from the treatment literature, participants were asked to talk about their experiences in therapy, particularly those aspects they identified as helping them change in desirable ways. In-depth interviews were conducted with nine women and one therapist who treated each of them individually. Qualitative methods of analysis were employed that privileged the voices of participants

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to co-design, build and evaluate an online decision aid for employees considering disclosing their mental health condition in the workplace. An online survey showed discrimination was more prevalent than bullying and the two were not correlated. Discrimination but not bullying was associated with poorer mental health in employees. A systematic review of the effectiveness of legislation in reducing discrimination in employees with a mental health condition identified six studies providing almost no evidence on the effectiveness of legislation in reducing discriminati

Abstract:
The importance of intangible assets like brands, customer relationships, knowledge or organisational capabilities is increasing in most western economies. Recent concepts like knowledge management or intellectual capital underline the growing importance of these &quot;soft&quot; production factors. The financial as well as the managerial accounting are still focusing on &quot;hard&quot; production factors, especially the production area with their typically physical and tangible assets and the finance and investment area with financial assets.
