Ovienloba, Andrew Ahimiejiese. "A Phenomenological Consideration of Conflict and Crisis Impact of Autism on Single Parenthood: A Hermeneutical Transformative Approach." NSUWorks, 2014. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/shss_dcar_etd/3.
Full textAbstract:
The field of autism in epidemiology has received much attention in recent times especially as scientific information evolves on the causes and impact of autism spectrum disorder. Just as medical research is conducting to arrest the growing pace of autism with current research indicating one out of every 68 children in the United States diagnosed autistic, the field of the social science has equally produced some literature on the subject. Much of the social science and epidemiological information in the field has bothered on framing the concept (Murray, 2008), historical dimension and causation of the disease, and its associative influence on family (Grinker, 2007). However, not much has been done to assess the phenomenon from the point of view of conflict analysis and resolution (Sabatelli & Waldron, 1995) to fully understand their sense of conflict ambiguity and ambiguous loss of a child with autism (Cridland et al. 2014; O'Brien, 2007).
This research therefore attempted to bridge that gap through reflexive analysis of transcripts from phenomenological interviewing of 19 participants comprised of 14 single parents and 5 married couples with autistic children. While the primary focus of the research was Single parents, married couples served comparative analytical purpose of data validation. Theories of phenomenology, Resilience, human needs, stereotypes & identity, relative deprivation, attribution, critical theory, ambiguous loss, etc. operationalize to frame the research language for hermeneutical transformative interpretation and social action about the phenomenon. Results from the study indicate conflict behavioral experience, a burden curve and resilient risk factors associated with caring for an autistic child leading to possible crisis borderline.

Full textAbstract:
Teachers who care for their students are considered to be essential to a productive learning environment for students. The presence of such teachers in classrooms is therefore important if students are to experience the best possibilities for learning. This thesis examines the nature of caring teachers and explores both personal and contextual factors that influence teachers' caring practices, providing insight into how these teachers' practices may be sustained. Specifically, the thesis addresses three research questions: 1) How do caring teachers demonstrate care? 2) What are the personal factors that contribute to a caring teacher's approach? 3) What are the contextual factors that hinder and/or support a caring teacher's approach? The thesis presents two models: the first hypothesises that the demonstration of care includes both a personal and educational dimension; the second presents factors that may influence a caring teacher's approach. These models were explored using a mixed method approach within three secondary, co-educational Catholic schools in Sydney, Australia. Teachers within these schools were surveyed (N = 178), 10 peer-nominated caring teachers were interviewed and observed (n = 10), students were interviewed in groups (N = 33) and colleagues of the 10 teachers were surveyed (n = 13). Analysis of the data shows that there are a number of distinct caring practices utilised by caring teachers. These include (a) a focus on relationships with students, (b) attentiveness, (c) flexibility, (d) compassion, (e) recognition of limitations, and (f) an approachable manner. The practices of caring teachers were found to be motivated by 10 mindsets underpinned by an optimistic belief that change is possible and that help given will improve a situation. The study also reveals that the caring process involves three phases.;Mindsets are found to be the first phase of the educational caring process and provide both the rationale and motivation for caring. The second phase, called the inner response, consists of two key elements in a caring teacher's approach. The first element is the ability to notice and recognise the need for care, while the second is concerned with an emotional response to that need, usually in the form of compassion or concern. The final phase of the caring process involves three key aspects of care demonstrated through personal qualities, commitment and caring acts. The caring acts demonstrated by the teachers in this study confirm the first model based upon the literature review which placed educational and personal care as the two key dimensions of care. However, as a result of the data analysis, the model is modified to show that relationship is at the core of these two types of care and facilitates the caring acts. Investigation of the third research question provided much needed empirical findings with regard to the factors that affect caring. Results confirm many of the theoretical perspectives but also show that spending time with students is important to caring teachers in the support and maintenance of caring practices. Additionally, factors that hinder caring teachers include (a) tiredness and feeling drained, (b) students failing to respond to care, (c) lack of time, and (d) staff with different mindsets. Hindering factors are fewer in number than those that support. Both the hindering and supportive factors identified by the nominated caring teachers are somewhat different to those factors identified by other teachers. Based upon the results, the thesis presents a modified model of care for future research, along with recommendations related to the selection, training, induction, and sustaining of caring teachers.

Drake, Jennifer. "Tools That Measure Caring: A Systematic Literature Review of the Impact of Caring." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2283.
Full textAbstract:
Technology and the complexity of the patient care can take the nurse's attention away from caring for the patient to caring for the technology. The purpose of this systematic review was to gather evidence from the literature on tools for measuring caring and the outcomes in order to make that body of knowledge easily accessible to the direct care nurse for implementation. Jean Watson's theory of human caring 'the theoretical framework that guided and informed this DNP project' focuses on human caring processes and experiences. It assumes that effective caring promotes health and outcomes of the nurse and patient. By using such a theory, a systematic review of caring behaviors can illustrate how using caring behaviors with intention can improve patient outcomes as well as nurse satisfaction outcomes. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified and articles were appraised using the Johns Hopkins Evidence-based Practice Model and process that nurses at all levels have used to appraise research and non-research for practice changes. Articles were narrowed to10 that met criteria and caring behaviors were recognized. The chosen articles used 5 different tools to measure caring behaviors. Although the individual caring behaviors were identified, the diversity of the tools used to measure and assess caring behaviors did not provide an easy way to assess for commonalities. This review identified areas for future research including, how one tool can be used to measure caring at different levels of care, in an acute care setting, an whether there exists an opportunity to develop common terminology for describing caring behaviors? Future research on using caring behaviors with intention could change nursing practice by changing how nurses perceive their skills and tasks.

Njoku, Georgina Ugochi. "The Impact of Caring for Seniors on the Caregiver's Stress Level." ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/399.
Full textAbstract:
The number of Canadian seniors with 2 or more chronic health conditions living into their late 90s or older has never been greater. As such, concerns have been raised that the Canadian healthcare system will be unable to meet the growing healthcare needs of the aging population. In this project, an Advanced Practice Nursing needs assessment was used to identify the impact that caring for a senior has on caregivers' stress levels, and what resources caregivers need to in order to cope with their role. Guided by Neuman's system model theory and Rogers' diffusion of innovation model, a convenience sampling technique was used to gather a sample of caregivers who provide services to seniors age 65 years and older. A total of 33 individuals were sampled; however, valid data were present for only 25 respondents in the quantitative investigation and 27 respondents in the qualitative investigation. Quantitative data were gathered on demographic variables, a caregiver's overall level of stress, and a caregiver's burden. Qualitative data were gathered on what resources would help a caregiver feel less stressed. Nonparametric statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, and the qualitative data were subjected to a content analysis. Quantitative results revealed that as the respondents got older, their caregiver burden and stress increased; the data also revealed that more educated respondents had less caregiver burden and less stress. Analysis of the qualitative data found that the caregivers wanted more support, more information on how to be a better caregiver, more respite care, and more help from both the Community Care Access Centers and the government. It is expected that the findings of this project can be used as a basis for planning and allocating services for caregivers.

Miller, Joseph B. "The importance of having warm and caring teachers for children with behavior problems." Scholarly Commons, 2010. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/2408.
Full textAbstract:
Studies examining student-teacher relationships have indicated that certain relationship qualities, as well as teacher qualities, play a role in the development of student outcomes. Research suggests that this is particularly so for students who enter the classroom with preexisting risk factors (Hamre & Pianta, 2005). This study examined the way in which warm and caring teachers, as perceived by students themselves, moderate the link between the risk factor of early development of behavior problems at school and future problems, as defined by behavior problems and student-teacher conflict. Behavior problems were measured with an overall externalizing behavior composite. Participants in the analysis included 649 children from the longitudinal National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care. Variables in this study were measured from the 4 th through the 6 th grades. Though preliminary analyses indicated that having a warm and caring teacher in the 5 th grade was correlated with reduced behavior problems and better relationships with teachers in the 6 th grade, results of the moderation analyses suggested that there was no difference in extent of benefit for students with varying degrees of behavior problems. The results of this study may assist in determining how school psychologists can apply developmental theory through consultation with teachers to maximize student success and minimize problems in the classroom environment.

Full textAbstract:
At least one third of college students enrolled in a given year take at least one course that is 80%+ online delivery (Allen & Seaman, 2015). This number has increased from 10% of students just within the last decade. Given this increase, the need for instructional communication research in this context has also grown.
One construct that has had little attention in online settings is that of perceived instructor caring. Caring instructors are perceived as concerned, sensitive, not self-centered, and having students’ best interests at heart (McCroskey & Teven, 1999). Caring has the potential to impact various aspects of student success, but has seen limited application in online learning research. Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) uses the term relatedness, and assess the impact on motivation; however, this has also been applied very little in online settings.
Guided by self-determination theory, the purpose of this dissertation is to explore perceptions of instructor caring in online education environments, to compare student and faculty views of instructor caring, explore the measurement of mediated instructor caring, and to test a mediation model proposing that perceived instructor caring, autonomy, and competence impacts perceived cognitive learning with motivation and affect as mediators. To do this, the author conducted two mixed-methods studies to compare instructor and student perceptions of caring, validate the measurement of caring, and test the model. Findings seek to improve understanding of how these constructs operate in online learning contexts and to assess self-determination theory for use in online settings, as well as to guide future research in various contexts of instructional communication.

Randall, Philip. "Actively Caring About the Actively Caring Survey: Evaluating the Reliability and Validity of a Measure of Dispositional Altruism." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2013. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2275.
Full textAbstract:
Geller’s Actively Caring Survey (ACS) was theorized to measure person states deemed necessary to “Actively Care” or act altruistically toward others. Empirical research of the ACS has been limited, and this researcher sought to evaluate its reliability, validity, and factorial consistency. Undergraduate students (n = 1,095) completed the measure online. Hypotheses were partially supported. Unrotated primary component analysis found the ACS to be a unitary measure with 73.3% of the items loading onto the first factor. The ACS showed excellent internal consistency. Convergent and divergent validity with existing measures (i.e., the Big 5 Personality, Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability, Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, Barratt Impulsiveness, and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Venturesomeness scales) was found in 88.9% of the predicted relationships; the ACS was negatively correlated with social desirability. An abbreviated ACS revision produced similar findings. Future studies should evaluate the measure in nonstudent populations, use clinical and industrial settings, and explore predictive validity.

Mahmoodi, Mahnaz. "Patient perceptions of caring behaviors of nurses in a critical care setting unit." Virtual Press, 1998. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1117108.
Full textAbstract:
Caring is a universal need of all humans and is central to the practice of nursing (Watson, 1979). Considerable research has been conducted in the study of caring behavior and caring. However, there has been little nursing research which focuses on the meaning of care as perceived by the patient. The purpose of this study was to further determine the patient's perceptions of caring behaviors of nurses by using Watson's (1979) theory of carative nursing.Watson's theory identified ten carative factors which served as the basis for the caring behavior's assessment instrument's (CBA) seven subscales. The instrument was administered to a convenience sample of 100 adults, 59% female, 40% male over 21 years of age hospitalized during 1997-1998 on the progressive care unit of a large Midwest hospital.Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics as well as MANOVA. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for each subscale ranged from 0.88 to 0.98. Principle components factor analysis revealed seven factors which accounted for 71% of the variance in the data and provided support for construct validity of the instrument.Finding showed that critical care patients perceived caring behaviors of nurses in a critical care setting as having much importance on all seven subscales of the CBA. Overall, they perceived technical professional, helping/ trusting subscale and teaching/learning subscale as having much importance. There were no significant differences found on behaviors based on age, sex, education, length of hospital stay and number of hospital admissions.There were no significant differences between those who were married and not married. Married patients perceived as less caring behavior on humanism helping/trusting and teaching subscales.A major conclusion was that patients in the critical care setting overall perceived all behaviors of nurses in a critical care setting as identified in the CBA's seven subscales of the instrument as having the most importance. The behaviors identified as having the most important were technical-professional including giving shots and taking care of equipment (monitor).<br>School of Nursing

Full textAbstract:
Shared social responsibility (SSR) has been increasingly promoted in sustainability research. While conceptual development has been expanded, empirical developments are still in their infancy. Extant SSR literature acknowledges that entities like industry, governments, consumers, and others must accept responsibility for achieving a common goal. However, a basic understanding of how consumers view this responsibility in the shared setting is lacking. Since collaborative efforts towards sustainability may be strategically more effective than individual efforts, this research investigates SSR from the consumers' perspective in order to determine how responsibility is assigned to the various entities involved in a specific form of sustainability, "green" product consumption. Perceptions of responsibility may influence future sustainability-minded consumer behavior; hence, this research offers relevant contributions for understanding the shared social dynamic. Utilizing elements of attribution theory, equity theory, and diffusion of responsibility, this research examined how ability, perceived consumer effectiveness, perceptions of equity, and group size influence consumer attribution of responsibility for future "green" product consumption. Three experiments were conducted; the first two used an online scenario-based approach while the third was administered primarily at the University of Arizona. Data was analyzed using various statistical techniques, including multivariate analysis of variance to address the study hypotheses. Results established that consumers share responsibility for future "green" product consumption with corporations, government, and other consumers - but this responsibility is not shared evenly. Under most of the conditions evaluated, corporations, and government to a lesser degree, were attributed significantly more responsibility than consumers assigned themselves. The amount of effort required to use a "green" product, ability to positively change the environment, and equity of an interaction between a consumer and a manufacturer did not affect consumer attribution of responsibility. Group size had some impact, such that consumers who were not made explicitly aware of being in a group and those interacting with one other entity evenly shared responsibility for future "green" product consumption with the others involved. Consumers in larger groups assigned more responsibility to corporations than to themselves. Social loafing was determined not to be a factor in how consumers assigned responsibility in groups of various sizes.

Full textAbstract:
Individuals are increasingly using expert system tax programs as a substitute for paid professionals when preparing their income tax returns. This study examines ways that expert systems encourage the same aggressive results documented when paid professionals are used. Examining the use of expert systems and the related behavior of taxpayers reveals aggressive reporting related to the commonly used warning alerts in tax programs. Using an experimental economics setting in which participants report liabilities with the possibility of penalties for noncompliant reporting, participants filled out a Claim Form mimicking a Schedule C in one of four conditions: manual preparation, no alerts, alerts triggered at a high threshold of reporting aggression, and alerts triggered at a low level of reporting aggression. Comparing the amounts deducted in each condition revealed that warning alerts with low thresholds of activation decreased aggressive reporting while warning alerts with high thresholds of activation increased aggressive reporting. Survey instruments measuring user satisfaction indicated significantly lower satisfaction when (high or low level) warning alerts were used versus no warning alerts. Contrary to expectations, respondents using the expert system tax program with high threshold warning alerts compared to no warning alerts reported a significantly higher perception of accuracy. This study demonstrates the extreme to which taxpayers are swayed by perceived aspects of the tax software that are irrelevant to the facts of their tax situations. Exactly what taxpayers need to be given by way of guidance and direction to comport their behavior to the tax laws is a critical question of public policy.

Weaver, Sarah. "The impact on parents of caring for people with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2011. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3179/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises of three papers. The first is a literature review that focuses on the positive impact on parents caring for a child with an intellectual disability. Fourteen themes pertaining to positive impact are derived from papers and the two main measures used to assess positive impact are The Kansas Inventory of Positive Perceptions and The Positive and Negative Assessment Scale. The relationship between positive impact of caring and parental wellbeing is explored. Wellbeing is raised when there are positive perception of caring. The empirical paper explores the relationship between parental stress, challenging behaviour and characteristics of autism spectrum disorder. When people with autism spectrum disorder show challenging behaviours, characteristics of adaptive functioning, pleasure and interest, and reciprocal social interaction are lower and impulsivity is heightened in comparison to people showing no challenging behaviours. Age also differs between groups. Negative correlations between adaptive functioning, pleasure and interest and social reciprocal interaction and parental stress are found. There is a positive correlation between impulsivity and parental stress. Impulsivity is the only predictor of stress. The third paper is a public domain briefing document, which gives an overview of the literature review and empirical paper for dissemination to the general population.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the self-perception of compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, and burnout by student conduct administrators working in the United States of America. Additionally, this study looked at the years of experience, job responsibilities, on-call responsibilities and direct student contact hours which may impact an individual’s overall professional quality of life. To accomplish the objectives outlined in the purpose statement, the following research questions were explored:
1. What is the relationship between student conduct professionals’ compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?
2. What is the relationship between student conduct professionals’ years of experience and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?
3. What is the relationship between student conduct professionals’ responsibility areas and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?
4. What is the relationship between student affairs professionals serving in an on-call capacity and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?
5. What is the relationship between student conduct professionals’ amount of direct student contact and the compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?
This study utilized a quantitative methodology to collect data. For the purposes of this study, members of the Association for Student Conduct Administration were selected as the intended sample population. The study sample was comprised of 381 individuals (n=381). The web-based survey included Stamm’s (2010) Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), closed-ended questions as well as a demographic survey.
The study findings indicated that student conduct and behavior intervention professionals exhibited average levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Correlations within the study sample existed negatively between compassion satisfaction and secondary traumatic stress with a positive correlation between burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Statistically significant results included the relationship between compassion satisfaction and the job responsibilities of academic integrity and alternative dispute resolution. Additionally, a statistically significant finding between burnout and the job responsibilities of student organizational conduct and Title IX investigation and adjudication. Lastly, a statistically significant difference between hours of direct student contact hours and secondary traumatic stress as well as a statistically significant predictor between hours of direct student contact hours and compassion satisfaction were established.

<p> This research investigated cross-sector collaboration as ideal-seeking social action within the context of a stakeholder-led initiative to foster place-based community revitalization in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It engaged organizational leaders and citizen activists to develop and refine the praxis of design conversation inspired by an appreciative awareness of values and qualities found in communities as thriving, living systems. Within a framework of community action research (CAR) methodology, the study engaged a small group of community leaders to create a learning space and relational field enabling them to acquire knowledge and understanding in the manner of an evolutionary learning community. Through facilitated design inquiry, participants sought to understand their communities as living socio-ecological systems; evolving purposefully within a context of embedded cultural and institutional influences.</p><p> The group discourse combined generative and strategic dialogue with other co-creative inquiry practices to embody dynamic and purposeful characteristics of an evolutionary guidance system. Through design conversation in both small group and community practice settings, participants worked to transform habitual patterns of thinking and shift awareness towards appreciative qualities of communities as purposeful social systems; thereby building collective evolutionary competencies that enable self-organization and unfolding of human evolutionary potentials at the levels of self, organization, community, and society.</p><p> The study results were summarized from participant journaling and transcribed conversations, and interpreted through critical hermeneutic analysis and systemic modelling. The results demonstrate, at least tentatively, how designing conversation as a strategic approach to community revitalization praxis enabled participants to coalesce as a dynamic learning community, expressing evolutionary consciousness and competency and developing a more integral, shared understanding of Cleveland’s communities as continuously evolving and appreciatively self-guided, living systems. These results show how strategically facilitated conversation within a framework of evolutionary systems design enabled community stakeholders in Cleveland to utilize conversation as purposeful social action to build appreciative awareness of their differences and understanding of their collective human potentials as the conscious embodiment of values and qualities found in healthy, resilient communities.</p>

The movement and volatility in stock prices has been the focus of attention for scholars all the time. Over the last decades, financial markets gain influence both at people’s life and country’s economics as a result of technological advances, financial liberalization, and ongoing international trade. On one hand, participant’s property and investor’s market performance are impacted by price fluctuation. On the other hand, the development of national economic is closely interrelated to the stability of financial markets. In this effect, the understanding of investors’ designing making and how it affect the market price movement is of vital interest to both researchers and economic policy market.

Full textAbstract:
L’hypothèse majeure pour la formation de la Lune est celle d’un Impact Géant entre deux planètes en formation, généralement appelées Théïa et Gaïa. L’agglomération du disque de débris résultant aurait ensuite formé la Lune. Cependant aucune des simulations d’impacts ne permet de reproduire totalement les observations du système Terre-Lune actuel. Une solution à ce problème pourrait être d’améliorer notre compréhension des propriétés des différents minéraux, non seulement à hautes pressions et hautes températures (typiques des impacts), mais aussi à basses pressions et hautes températures (typiques de l’état du disque dans l’espace). Comme les expériences en laboratoire ne permettent pas d’atteindre ces dernières conditions, nous réalisons ici des expériences numériques. Nous travaillons sur les feldspaths, les minéraux les plus abondants dans les croûtes lunaire et terrestre. Il existe une multitude de compositions différentes de feldspaths, ici nous nous limitons aux trois compositions extrêmes idéales : NaAlSi3O8, KAlSi3O8 et CaAl2Si2O8. Au moyen d’un ensemble de codes informatiques appelé VASP® nous obtenons de nombreuses données sur les trois feldspaths pour des températures allant d’environ 2000 à 20 000°C et des masses volumiques entre 0.5 et 6 g.cm−3. Les codes du « package » UMD développés pendant ces trois années au sein de l’équipe permettent l’analyse de ces données. Ces expériences numériques permettent de construire un diagramme de phases indicatif pour chacun des feldspaths étudiés. Nous avons visuellement identifié les conditions de pressions et températures pour lesquelles le liquide se vaporise (des bulles de gaz apparaissent). Ce gaz semble être constitué majoritairement d’atomes libres Na et K, mais aussi de petites molécules comme SiO, SiO2 ou O2. Nous avons également estimé la température critique. En dessous de cette température il est possible de voir un changement de phase liquide-gaz, mais au-dessus nous trouvons un fluide unique appelé fluide supercritique. Cette température est estimée entre 5250°C et 5750°C pour KAlSi3O8, entre 6250°C et 6750°C pour NaAlSi3O8 et entre 7250°C et 7750°C pour CaAl2Si2O8. Les propriétés des feldspaths à très hautes pressions (jusqu’à 4 000 000 de fois la pression atmosphérique) et températures (jusqu’à 20 000°C) nous permettent d’estimer l’état physique qu’une croûte planétaire composée de feldspaths pourrait avoir lors d’impacts météoritiques. Lorsque l’impact se produit sur une croûte froide (entre le zéro absolu et les conditions atmosphériques classiques) il pourrait au maximum faire fondre la croûte. Au contraire, lorsque l’impact a lieu sur une croûte chaude voire fondue (2200°C et plus) il pourrait transformer toute la croûte en fluide supercritique. Si c’était bien le cas de l’Impact Géant qui a formé la Lune, alors ce fluide supercritique ainsi créé pourrait permettre de résoudre bien des problèmes de composition chimique que les simulations d’Impact Géant présentent<br>The impact of a planet in formation with the proto-Earth, also known as the Giant Impact, is now the main hypothesis for the Moon formation. Nevertheless, there are still discrepancies between the impact simulations and the observations of the current Earth-Moon system. To improve their models, geophysicists need a better understanding of geological materials not only at high pressures and high temperatures, typical of impacts, but also at low pressures and high temperatures, typical of the debris disc that follows the impact. Since this latter region cannot be reached by experiments we use here ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations. We work on feldspars, with formula (Ca,K,Na)(Al,Si)4O8, as they represent the major mineral component of the crust of terrestrial bodies. Using the VASP® code for numerical experiments and the home-made UMD package for post-processing, we obtain structural, transport and thermodynamic data on a wide range of temperatures (2000–7000 K) and densities (0.5–6 g.cm−3). The three feldspar end-members display a critical density between 0.4 and 0.9 g.cm−3 and critical temperatures as follows: 5000 K < TK < 5500 K, 6000 K < TNa < 6500 K and 7000 K < TCa < 7500 K. At low densities and below the critical temperatures, we can identify the start of gas bubble nucleation. The vaporization is incongruent, the gas is mostly made of free Na or K and of SiO, SiO2 or O2 molecules. There is an O2 degassing of the fluids above 4000 K at all densities. Our study at very high temperatures and pressures tells us that impacts in a cold crust would at most melt the crust, whereas impacts in a hot crust or in a magma ocean would completely bring the crust into supercritical state

Business Administration/Interdisciplinary<br>Ph.D.<br>I find that a bad reputation is not necessarily bad for business. I argue that a bad corporate reputation is less likely to hurt sales of tangible goods than intangible services, because assessing quality for the latter is inherently difficult and customers often rely on seller reputation to choose providers. I also argue that a necessary product is less likely to be adversely impacted than a discretionary one because in many cases the customers cannot avoid purchase of the product. I find that product necessity strongly affects consumer opinions and behavior. I argue that consumers “like” firms that offer products they want more than firms that offer products they need but that these opinions do not necessarily drive purchase behavior. I partition firms included in a well-established, corporate reputational survey into those that offer basic needs, perceived necessities and discretionary products. I find that consumers rate firms that offer discretionary products higher than firms that offer necessary products. Despite this tendency, firms that offer discretionary products and necessary products have similar profitability. Lastly, while consumers dislike price increases, they are more likely to repurchase basic needs than perceived necessities or discretionary products, arguably because they have no choice for the former.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
Immunizations are an essential part of children’s healthcare; however, the associated distress can have short- and long-term negative ramifications for children. Parents’ procedural behavior is one of the strongest predictors of children’s distress. The current study evaluated whether an interactive computer training program influenced parents’ knowledge of the impact that their behavior has on their children or their actual procedural behavior during children’s immunizations. 90 parents and their 4- to 6-year-old children receiving immunizations participated. Overall, findings suggest that using a computerized training module to enhance parent knowledge and behavior is helpful but requires improvements in some areas to optimize training.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2006.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>This dissertation analyzes the impact of various financial incentives on firm behavior. The first two chapters examine product-market and input-market effects of a firm's capital structure and the incentives they create. The third chapter analyzes how incentives from the tort system affect physician location decisions. Chapter 1 examines the impact of union bargaining on capital structure determination. If a firm maintains a high level of liquidity, workers may be encouraged to raise wage demands. In the presence of external finance constraints, a firm has an incentive to use the cash flow demands of debt service payments to improve its bargaining position. Using both cross-sectional estimates of firm-level collective bargaining coverage and state changes in labor law to identify changes in union bargaining power, I show that firms indeed appear to use financial leverage strategically to influence collective bargaining negotiations. These estimates suggest that strategic incentives from union bargaining have a substantial impact on financing decisions. A firm's financial structure can also impact investments in marketing and operations management. Chapter 2 examines how capital structure affects a firm's provision of product availability - an important dimension of product quality in the retail sector.<br>(cont.) Using U.S. consumer price index microdata to measure the prevalence of out-of-stocks, I find that supermarket leveraged buyouts, which reduce liquidity, increase out-of-stocks by 10 percent. These findings suggest it is important for firms to consider these sorts of real effects on their operations when setting financial policy. Chapter 3 examines financial incentives created by medical malpractice liability. If patients bear the full incidence of cost changes and market demand is inelastic, then marginal changes in malpractice liability will not affect physicians' net income or location decisions. Using county-level, specialty-specific data on physician location from 1970 to 2000, I find that damage caps do not affect physician supply for the average resident of states adopting reforms. On the other hand, caps appear to increase the supply of specialist physicians in the most rural areas by 10 to 12 percent. This is likely because rural doctors face greater uninsured litigation costs and a more elastic demand for medical services.<br>by David Abraham Matsa.<br>Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this quantitative study was to expand understanding of leadership behaviors and their influence on follower engagement. Researchers have shown that engagement is a predictor of retention and organizational performance. Leadership theory and the conceptual framework of worker engagement were the study's theoretical anchors. Despite a proliferation of leadership studies, engagement antecedents are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to narrow the gap in the literature by examining the extent to which there may be a relationship between college instructors' behaviors and student engagement. Although not traditionally regarded as frontline leaders, extant leadership literature affirmed college instructors' organizational position, role, and responsibilities as direct supervisors and students as their followers. The independent variables were instructor behavior, institutional support, and depth of learning. Student engagement was the dependent variable. Correlation and regression analysis were applied to existing survey data collected in 2014 from students who were enrolled in a diverse, urban community college located in a major metropolitan city in the United States. The most prominent finding, that leadership behaviors had the strongest correlation to student engagement, contributed to the body of leadership knowledge by reaffirming leadership behaviors as a predictor of follower engagement. Given the increasing diversity of workers and followers, this study's findings have the potential to help leaders more effectively engage followers who are members of historically marginalized groups, thereby, helping to narrow equity gaps and advance social justice, particularly in higher education.

Within the space of a few decades, young people's understandings and experiences of nature have changed radically. Today, many young people are aware of the global threats to the environment - but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature, is diminishing, leading it is argued to a "nature deficit disorder". In order to minimise the risk of nature deficit disorder, this study seeks to understand how behaviour change models, innovative environmental education approaches, and an ethic of care may influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours. The main research question is: What are the factors that influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours in Indonesia? This question is addressed through three sub-research questions: 1) What can we learn from behaviour change models about young people's environmentally caring behaviours?, 2) How do environmental education approaches influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours?, and 3) What added value do ethic of care principles bring to better understanding young people's environmentally caring behaviour?<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Griffith School of Environment<br>Science, Environment, Engineering and Technology<br>Full Text

<p>Organization Development has the potential to play an active role in supporting environmental change initiatives. This study explores the values of a group of OD practitioners who are working with environmental concerns as a consideration in their practice. Nine qualitative interviews were conducted to explore values and surface factors that have influenced those values. The Schwartz Value Questionnaire (SVQ) and the Nature Relatedness Scale were administered to better understand practitioner values. Elements of self-transcendent values were revealed amongst practitioners through both quantitative and qualitative methods. In addition, these practitioners scored higher than the average population on Nature Relatedness. This study supported research, which linked an individual’s self-transcendent values to feelings of environmental concern. This study also supported research by Schein (2014), which showed that certain experiences shaped ecological worldviews of sustainability leaders over their lifespan. OD has an opportunity to enable more of its students and practitioners to adopt this ecological worldview and gravitate towards leveraging OD expertise in the environmental sustainability space. </p>

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>護理學系<br>86<br>Nursing care for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD)
remains a complex challenge to most psychiatric nurses in Taiwan. The nurses''
appraisal of their caring experiences with BPD patients, as well as the impact
of caring experiences on themselves are seldom discussed. The purposes of this
qualitative study were threefolds: (1) to explore psychiatric
nurses'' subjective
perceptions of their experiences of caring the patients with BPD during their
hospitalization transition; (2) to discover the coping strategies which the
nurses used to manage their unsatisfactory caring experiences, if exist; and
(3) to explore the impact of caring experiences on the nurses themselves.
A purposive sample of 13 female nurses was recruited from a municipal
psychiatric hospital in northern Taiwan with a good reputation for quality
psychiatric care. Data were gathered using semi-structured face-to-face
in-depth interviews. The expert validity of the field of psychiatric medicine,
psychiatric nursing care, psychology, and qualitative research. The demographic
data of the subjects were analyzed by descriptive statistics, and qualitative
data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis developed
by Shih (1997ab,1998).
Eighty-five percent of the participants (N=11) were aged from 26 through
35 years old. Sixty-two percent of the subjects (N=8) were married. Eighty-five
percent of the subjects (N=11) had received 2-year or 5-year professional
nursing degrees. Sixty-nine percent of the subjects (N=9) had
from 5 to 9 years''
professionalpsychiatric nursing experience. Thirty-one percent
of the participants
(N=4) had 1 to 2 years'' experience and 69% (N=9) had 3 to 4 years'' experience
with patients eith BPD.
The psychiatric nurses'' subjective perceptions of their caring experiences
fell into three categories: unsatisfactory, satisfactory, and non-satisfactory
or unsatisfactory experiences. The nurses'' appraisal of their
caring experiences
was found to involve a two-phase process. At the end of the first phase, none
of the nurses were satisfied with their caring experiences, and several factors
were involved in this outcome. They are: nurses''
misunderstanding of the patients
conditions, nurses'' emotional confusion, limited nurse-patient
interaction time,
lacking of effective nursing care, and the increase in the patients'' negative
behavior.
Nevertheless, some nurses report having satisfactory caring experiences at
the end of the second phase, and the context for this change was found to be
related to both the patient and the nurse. The factors related to the patients
inclueded improvment in mental health status, decrease in
negative behavior, and
maintaining emotional stability. The coping strategies which the nurses used to
manage their unsatisfactory experiences with the BPD patients during the second
phase included the increase in self-confidence, perception of
better nurse-patient
relationship, practicing positive thinking of the caring experience, and having
a sense of achievement and personal growth. However, still some
nurses continuously
reported having unsatisfactory experiences at the end of the second phase. It
is because they felt guilty and sorry for the fact that some
patients were forced
to be discharged from the hospital before their mental health status was under
controlled.
The impact of caring experiences on the nurses themselves were fivefolds:
(1) becoming more knowledgeable about the patient''s mental
health and psychiatric
nursing profession; (2) becoming valuing the things and materials belonging to
the nurse herself; (3) changing the attitude of interaction with other people;
(4) having a positive or negative impact on the nurses''
professional motivation;
and (5) facilitating self understanding and personal growth.
In conclusion, the nurses'' appraisal of their satisfactory
and unsatisfactory
caring experiences for the patients with BPD, as well as the background context
for this phenomenon was examined. The information revealed in this study would
empower psychiatric nurses to develop positive coping strategies to improve
their nursing care quality for the clients with BPD. In addition, the factors
contributing to the nurses'' unsatisfactory caring experiences during the first
and second phases would be more possibly prevented. Finally, a two conceptual
framework was developed to depict this phenomenon.

The SAS/PC software was used to analyze data though X2 ,t-test, paired t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation. Fisher's Exact Test.
The result showed 1. Before this education the levels of knowledge were in the middle range. Among these, listening, touching and empathy were in the lower range. Then the levels of attitude were between "agree" and "extreme agree", the levels of behavior were between "occasional" and "often". 2. After education the "knowledge" of nurses markedly increased, while that the levels of attitude did something different. Yet, the education did not effectively increase the levels of behavior. 3. The levels of knowledge varied significantly with the units, education and license. Also the levels of attitude and behavior were significantly different from education. Finally there was a positive correlation between attitude and behavior.

However, the content and the caring behavior in the model were not clearly defined. Studies showed that the meaning of caring is often influenced by personal situation, value, cultural factors and etc. The purposes of this research are: (1) From patients’ and nurses’ perspectives to discuss the content of caring behavior and to establish a culturally sensitive SHARE caring model; (2) To develop “SHARE Caring Behavior Measurement” (SCBM), test its reliability and validity, and as a nurses’ caring behavior evaluation tool. Mixed research techniques were used. 12 inpatients one on one in-depth interviews by purposive sampling, 4 times focus group interviews with 16 nurses and content analysis was used. The second stage was: (1) to construct the draft of SCBM. (2) Using Delphi study to have two rounds content validity by 12 experts. (3) Use the model of SHARE as theoretical foundation to check its goodness of fit by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). 380 Patients and 295 nurses were the samples. The findings were: (1)The five themes of SHARE model were as follows: ‘active listening and sensing needs’ ; ‘immediate helping and resolving problems’; ‘espressing senserity, attentive and cautious’; ‘respecting dignity and privacy’; and ‘ explaining the methods and procedures of problem-solving patiently’. (2) The CVI is 0.99, the result of CFA: GFI =0.94，AGFI =0.91，NFI =0.98，NNFI = 0.98，CFI =0.98，IFI =0.98，RFI =0.97. The value of Cronbach’s α for the total item pool was 0.944. The SCBM can be used as a tool not only for nurses’ self- appraisal but also for patients to evaluate nurses’ caring behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>高雄醫學大學<br>公共衛生學研究所碩士在職專班<br>93<br>Research Purpose:
The aim of this research was to find out the differences of nursing caring behaviors between the nursing staff in different public and private hospitals, furthermore to discuss what are the factors that influence their nursing caring behaviors and whether their behaviors predict the nursing quality.
Research Method:
This research used purposive sampling, and a cross-sectional study was conducted with the method of structured questionnaire survey among the nursing staff of two local hospitals in Kaohsiung as the research object. The main research tool was the Caring Behavior Assessment (CBA), which was developed by Cronin and Harrison in 1988 according to Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring, and was translated into a Chinese survey by MA, Shu-ching in 2002. From the two hospitals we obtained an effective sample size of 206, the effective response rate is 91.6%.
Research Finding:
The nursing staff of the public and the private hospital via chi-square test in accordance with non-difference of demographic data, through independent samples t-test there was a notable difference between the caring behavior of the nursing staff from these two hospitals, and the public hospital nursing staff had higher caring behavior than the private hospital one. Through ANOVA analysis we also found that their education levels, characters, and licenses had influences on their caring behaviors, and then the ward quality in their working environment as well as the support rating toward the nursing staff also influenced their caring behaviors. From our linear regression analysis, we found that the nursing staff’s characters, licenses, and hospital ownership had effects on their caring behaviors. Via Pearson correlation analysis we found that the nursing staff’s caring behaviors and nursing quality had a negative correlation with the rate of accident occurrence and the nosocomial infection rate, and then had a positive correlation with the nursing satisfaction.
Conclusion and Suggestion:
We have achieved our research purpose according to the research findings which also supported our hypothesis, thus we obtained the conclusion that nursing caring behavior is related to nursing quality, this proved Roy’s definition toward nursing quality, “It’s a consideration, the core of nursing”, and also proved his opinion that the real effective nursing quality has its clinical aspect and caretaking aspect; this is an empirical research. We suggest that the nursing administration supervisor should integrate caretaking theory with administration theory to set up a caretaking guidance and offer support to the nursing staff, furthermore to affect their motif of caretaking and create a caring implementation manual as the standard of clinical nursing practice.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>資訊管理系<br>107<br>Nowadays, rapid social development has brought about fierce competition. Thus, teens face high academic pressure when they are in school. In addition, teens also face pressure from family and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, if these pressures are not released properly, it might cause a serious problem in the end. According to the research, only 50 percent of the patients had asked for help. Most people choose to ignore their mental issues because they do not think it is important to mention them. Moreover, the ChatBot is gradually growing with the development of applications. On the other hand, some people are more willing to talk to the ChatBot rather than to a real therapist. The reason is people can talk about anything without worrying about prejudice. Hence, ChatBot is seen as the best tool to help with therapy.
The study and methods of this research on caring behavior are carried out through literafure analysis. The research uses systematic construction and experiments to implement the caring behavior on the ChatBot. And thereby, suggests a framework and guidelines for designing a Caring ChatBot. The research uses the questionnaire method to validate the effectiveness of the Caring ChatBot. Thus, the research results showed that only a few people who used the Caring ChatBot felt that the chat was useful. Moreover, they felt better and were able to cope with their pressure.
The Caring ChatBot is considered to have a purpose to encourage users and give proper suggestions. Thus, the users can reorganize their thinking and improve their mental problems subconsciously. The research collects the users' stories and experience from internet data or conversations with the users. Then, the system analyzes the users' emotion and needs. Besides, the system uses NLP to understand the users' intentions and thereby provides an effective method to help the users to cope with their mental pressure.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺北護理健康大學<br>護理研究所<br>104<br>Background: Caring is a term in nursing, representing all factors of nurses used to provide health services to patients. To create appropriate caring behavior, the perception of three group including nurses, patients and nursing students about caring behavior must be identified in advance because patients are the people who will receive the care and nurses are the one who will give the care meanwhile nursing students are the people who will become a nurse in the future. Therefore, the aim of this study is to understand what nurses, patients and nursing students perceived about caring behavior.
Objective: To compare the differences of caring behaviors perceived by nurses, patients and nursing students and to explore the relationship between demographic factors and the perception of caring.
Methods: This study was a descriptive comparative research. The participants were nurses who were working in general hospital, patients who were hospitalizing and nursing students who were studying in one Indonesian college. Collection data began after permission was granted by IRB, hospital and nursing school. Data were collected from August to September 2015. A sample of 53 for each group completed the questionnaire and data were analyzed using t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation and post hoc comparison.
Result: data analysis showed nurses, patients and nursing students have the same perception toward caring behavior. Nurses marital status showed positive relationship with “professional” caring domain (p<0.05) where married nurses had higher mean score than unmarried nurses. Patients age had positive correlation with “respectful” (r=0.282, p<0.05) and “positive connectedness” (r=0.307, p<0.05). Meanwhile nursing students showed gender had positive relationship with three caring behavior domains (professional p<0.001, attentiveness p<0.01 and assurance p<0.05) where male students had higher mean score. Clinical experiences also showed positive relationship with “positive connectedness” domain (p<0.05).
Conclusion: nurses, patients and nursing students perceived caring behavior in similar view. This can be good information for nurses and nursing students to provide the appropriate caring behavior to the patients and it is necessary to conduct larger sample for the future study. This study can be used as an additional source to enhance knowledge about caring behavior and to apply it in nursing field and nursing education.

Abstract
As times and family structures changed, the ratio of elder residents is increasing year by year. The incontinence of urine and stool is a common problem of the elderly in long-term care institutions. It is easy to induce a perineal dermatitis (PD). If there is no appropriate preventive intervention, it will make the elderly get pain and discomfort. The purpose of this study is to explore the knowledge, attitudes, behavior and the relationships of caring PD among nurse aides in long-term care institutions. The study is a cross-sectional design to carry out random sampling. The subjects are recruited from 116 long-term care institutions in Taichung. Twenty two institutions were elicited. The 229 questionnaires were sent and 204 valid copies were received. The valid recovery rate of questionnaires was 89.08%. A structural questionnaire developed by researcher was made including the demographic data, as well as the knowledge, attitude and behavior of caring PD. The data analyzed with SPSS 19.0 for Windows software were performed descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the study was shown that (1)The degree of knowledge of caring PD among nurse aides was moderate. The caring knowledge had significant differences with age, education, work years of nurse aides, accepting the PD curriculum, and agency appraisal (p< .05). (2)The degree of caring attitudes was above moderate and the aspect of feelings tended to negative. (3)The caring behavior was positive degree between the implementation of the “often” and “always”. The caring behavior of nurse aides with receiving the PD related courses was better than those who did not receive. The behavior of caring PD among nurse aides working in the excellent appraisal agency was better than those who worked in the B appraisal facility. (4)The relationship of caring knowledge and behavior was lowly positive correlation. (5)The relationship of caring attitude and behavior was moderately positive correlation. These results in this study provide to make a reference for planning the future in-service education for nurse aides in long-term care institutions to increase the quality care.

碩士<br>中臺科技大學<br>醫療暨健康產業管理系碩士班<br>101<br>The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between caregivers’ caring behavior and organization ethical climate at the long-term care institutions in Central Taiwan. It is expected that caregivers with caring behavior take good care of and apply their professional care to residents. It is also expected to provide authorities of long-term care institutions with different reflections and suggestions, and implement caregivers’ caring behaviors to improve quality of care for residents.
The subjects of this study were caregivers who have worked over one month, were willing to participate and signed a letter of consent. Two hundred twenty out of three hundred subjects were effective return. This study was cross-sectional survey and was used purposive sampling, a structure, self-administered questionnaire with well reliability and validity, which included participants’ basic data, caring behaivor questionnaire with six dimensions, and organization ethical climate with four dimensions.
The results of this study were as follows:
1.There were partially statistical significant difference among position, nationality, attending professional class, education status, religion for caring behavior’ value degree and practical degree of caregivers.
2.There were partially statistical significant difference among position, licence, nationality, attending professional class, education status, and religion for organizational ethical climate.
3.The significant difference between caring behavior’ value degree and practical degree among caregivers showed that the ‘access’ average score of caring behaviors’ practical degree was higher that of caring behavior’ value degree, but the ‘anticipate’ and ‘monitor and follow through’ average score of caring behaviors’ value degree was higher that of caring behavior’ practical degree.
4.‘Comfort’ of caring behavior’ value degree and practical degree was the highest score among caregivers.
5.The dimensions of caring behavior’ value degree were partially significant associated with that of practical degree and organizational ethical climate. It showed the more organizational ethical climate scores, the more practical degree of caring behavior scores.
6.The dimensions of ‘instrument and code’ of organizational ethical climate of caregivers were the significant predictor for practical degree of caring behavior.
Conclusion: We should promote organizational ethical climate, strength caregivers’ caring behavior, establish a systematic and diversified caring behavior education. Last but not least, internalizing caregivers’ caring behavior creates organizational culture.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>世新大學<br>企業管理研究所(含碩專班)<br>106<br>Aging population and social structure change are the problems nowadays, as the probability for elders to go to hospitals by themselves increases. As a result, the need for technological care becomes a crises which has come quietly. Technological innovation must take users' psychological needs into consideration. By employing a qualitative approach for four groups: (A. People who are over 65 and still use technology B. People who are 65 and do not use technology C. People who are 55-65 and use technology D. People who are 55-65 and do not use technology). The researcher discusses how Watson's Caring Factors of Informational Technology Impact can be applied to usage intention and living quality among older adults. The research results are summarized in the following points:
1. “The cultivation of sensitivity to one’s self and to others”,“The systematic use of the scientific problem solving method for decision making”,“The allowance for existential-phenomenological forces” effect on all the groups in Usage Intention but the Living Quality part just not effect on group A.
2. “The formation of a humanistic-altruistic system of values”,“The assistance with gratification of human needs”,“Development of a helping-trust relationship”,“The promotion and acceptance of the expression of positive and negative feelings”,“The promotion of transpersonal teaching-learning”,“The provision of supportive, protective, and corrective mental, physical, societal, and spiritual environment” effect on group B and D in Usage Intention.
3. “The instillation of faith-hope” effects on the female group in Usage Intention but the Living Quality part just effects on group C.
4. “The formation of a humanistic-altruistic system of values” effects on group B and D in Living Quality.
5. “The assistance with gratification of human needs”,“The provision of supportive, protective, and corrective mental, physical, societal, and spiritual environment” effect on all the groups in Living Quality.
6. “The promotion of transpersonal teaching-learning” just effects on group C in Living Quality.
7. “Development of a helping-trust relationship”,“The promotion and acceptance of the expression of positive and negative feelings” do not effect on group C in Living Quality.
To conclude, the research results suggest that the government should try its best to promote the use of technology to the aged people by careful explanation, training, and guidance. It would be easier for older people to benefit from technological training courses in nurseries for the aged and other long-term care centers, ten years earlier for each age groups.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>企業管理學系<br>103<br>Efficient market hypothesis holds that people are rational, so the stock price will respond to all the relevant information. Even the stock price deviates from its basic value, as time pass it will back to its fundamental price by reacting real information. Hence, it is impossible to beat the market and get long-term excess return because the price deviation is a short-term phenomenon. But as more and more anomalies which the school of efficient market called are found, EMH began to be questioned. Then the school of financial behavior try to introduce an important factor “person” to the research. Trying to understand these anomalies based on the views of psychology, sociology and science. Prospect theory proposed by Kahneman and Tverskey (1979) can explained some parts of uncertain decision model, which Traditional theory can't. People always commit cognitive bias in investment behavior such as overreaction or repurchase behavior, although they make a detail analysis when decision-making. The existence of this phenomenon are proved by some scholars in empirical way. In this research, we use empirical way to observe the mutual relationship between investors’ herding behavior and risk preference under an uncertain decision-making environment these three variables. According to the results of this study, we found observer’s risk preference have no significant impact on herd behavior and repurchase behavior, but herd behavior has a significant on repurchase behavior.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺南大學<br>教育學系課程與教學碩博士班<br>105<br>The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of caring and gregarious teaching program on enhancing seventh graders’ prosocial behavior, and to analyze the feasibility of this teaching program. In addition, this study also aimed to identify potential issues and then propose feasible solutions to address the related concerns during the teaching process.
In attempt to achieve the purposes said above, the researcher used a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the study are 53 seventh-graders from a public junior-high school in City of Tainan. The subjects were divided into two sub-groups: one was the experimental group (N=27) receiving a caring and gregarious teaching program for a period of 12 weeks, 1 lesson per week, 45 minutes per lesson, resulting in a total of 12 lessons; the other was the controlled group (N=26) receiving the scout curriculum. Pre-test and post-test were administrated to both experimental and controlled groups before and after the implementation of the teaching program by using the“Questionnaire of Prosocial Behavior of Junior High School Students”(Lai, 2003). The quantitative data were analyzed by one-way ANCOVA. Furthermore, the qualitative data were collected through the questionnaires, worksheets, interviews and the researcher’s journal of reflections to analyze the results. Results of the study were summarized as followed:
1.Seventh graders’ "whole"、"caring"、"helping" prosocial behavior was enhanced effectively through the caring and gregarious teaching program.
2.Seventh graders’ "gregarious" prosocial behavior was not enhanced effectively through the caring and gregarious teaching program.
3.The teaching program was proven concrete and feasible. All students in the experimental group provided positive evaluation for the teaching program.
4.Some practical solutions to address related relevant learning issues were developed during the experiment.
Based on the results above, the researcher provides specific conclusions and suggestions as references for further development and designs of future teaching programs and studies on scout curriculum.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>臺北市立教育大學<br>心理與諮商學系碩士班<br>98<br>This study aims to research the differences and relationships among death attitude, social support, and patient caring behaviour in different demographic nurses. The cross-sectional correlated design and snowball sampling methods were used to select 212 Taiwanese nurses to be objects. The two-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation and Stepwise regression were used to analysis the data from " death attitude ", " social support " and "caring behaviors scale（CBS）".
The results indicated:（1）The difference of death attitude in different demographic nurses: The “approach acceptance” of death in vocational-high schools is more acceptable than in five-year enrolment schools, two-year enrolment schools, colleges and universities.（2）The difference of social support in different demographic nurses: group aged 40 to 45 has higher “emotion support” and “affirmation support” than aged 25 to 29; the “assistance support” in chronic wards have better support than surgical wards and intensive care units（3）The difference of caring behavior in different demographic nurses: group working for 11 to 20 years has better “patient Advocacy” and “knowing the Patient” than 1 to 5 years（4）The relationship and prediction of death attitude, social support, and patient caring behavior in nurses: The “death avoidance” and caring behavior have negative correlations in death attitude; the “approach acceptance” and social support and caring behavior have positive correlations. “Affirmation support”and“approach acceptance” are the positive predicting variable, “death avoidance” is the nagatvie predicting variable（5）The relationship of negative death attitude, social support and caring behavior in nurses: in negative death attitude, high score nurses showed positive correlation in death fear and death avoidance, but low score nurses did not.
The results suggest: educating nurses have positive death attitude; providing the supportive network to share caring experiences and emotion in co-workers; the Head-Nurse should provide support to new nurse staff in order to improve caring behaviour.
