Washington, Lindsay Amadi. "Black Things, White Spaces." OpenSIUC, 2018. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/2319.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis paper, Black Things, White Spaces, offers an in depth look into my journey as an artist and how my artistic practice has evolved over the years. Throughout this time of self-exploration, I have developed an interest in themes of racism, structures of power, representation and stereotypes. In my artistic work, I explore how these themes affect the African American community, as well as myself, as an African American woman. This paper utilizes the creative and theoretical frameworks by artists and scholars like, Bill Viola, Adrian Piper, bell hooks, and Franz Fanon to support the intentions of my work. This thesis illustrates for the reader how my work approaches these themes through certain methodologies, such as: tactical media, blurring the lines between art and life, and the manipulation of time and space. In this paper, I argue the importance of placing my work within the context of African American experiences throughout history. By doing this, my work is able to reference several events throughout history, while addressing our current moment in time. Included in this manuscript are detailed descriptions and analyses of each piece in the thesis exhibition. It is important to speak about the development and the intentions of my art. While speaking about the work, I compare and contrast my thesis work to previous artworks I’ve done, as well as other artists works, in order to place these pieces within an art-historical framework. Finally, this thesis, also addresses how my current work presented in the thesis exhibition will inform my future artistic practice. I believe that my contributions to the African American media arts practice creates spaces to celebrate diversity, empower the voiceless, but most importantly, creates new avenues for change.

Lu, Shih-Yun. "Site specific interventions in contemporary art." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2008. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/691/.
Full textAbstract:
Site-specific interventions in contemporary art are still a relatively new area of study. The relevant disciplines include site-specific art, cyberspace, new media art and interdisciplinary art, and installation art. In addition to practical experimentation the work draws upon literature and practice from these disciplines in order to create a theoretical framework. In response to the emerging practical and theoretical framework, site-specific installation works were created in contrasting locations that presented both internal and outdoor spaces. The frameworks created through theoretical investigation have been used to analyse both the creative process and the art work itself in relation to both physical space and cyberspace. An experimental art method approach was used in order to gain a deeper understanding of the issues relating to spatial concepts. The analysis uses a wide range of documentary material such as video and photographic recording, as well as the visual interpretation of the art work through exhibition and creative practices. This investigation explored site-specificity in both physical and virtual space in three distinct parts; projects in physical and virtual site-specificity, projects in physical site specificity, and Net art projects. These projects have been analysed from the perspective of spatial concepts theories and Zen philosophy within the framework provided by the four elements - space, time, media and practice. This research examined the value of site-specificity in both physical and virtual sites through the results of the creation of art work in `interdisciplinary art'. This led to the principal conclusion from this research: namely, that physical sites can be duplicated and documented by using emerging digital technology and then be transmitted as a particular mix of physical and virtual sites using the Internet as a medium. This research is an exploration of the under-examined area of site-specificity within contemporary art.

Eekelaar, Catherine. "Art gallery-based interventions in dementia care." Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2011. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/10460/.
Full textAbstract:
Section A reviews whether arts-based activities for people with a dementia (PWD) have significant cognitive, social, and psychological benefits for this population. There is a variety of theoretical perspectives on dementia that encompass the biological, psychological, and social effects of the disease on the wellbeing of PWD. Visual arts may be an appropriate way of addressing some of the challenges that PWD face by providing a means of ameliorating some of their cognitive, social, and psychological difficulties. Literature from the field of arts-based activities with PWD suggests that there is no apparent theoretical conceptualisation in the area, as most studies have attempted to evaluate various art programmes with no clear rationale for expected findings; rather, they have taken a more exploratory stance. However, they indicate that arts-based activities can have social and psychological benefits by increasing confidence, enthusiasm, enjoyment, social contact, mood, quality of life, and ratings of depression. The review concludes with a rationale for why it is important to expand the current evidence base on arts-based activities for PWD. Section B: Dementia refers to a variety of diseases that are characterised by cognitive difficulties and an overall decline in daily living skills. Arts and health interventions may be particularly valuable ways of improving the lives of PWD and their family carers. This exploratory study involved six people with mild to moderate dementia and six family carers attending an arts-based intervention at a major London art gallery for three sessions over three weeks, in which they engaged in art-viewing and art-making. Using audio recordings to record PWDs’ responses, rather than standardised measures, which are often problematic with this population, the study sought to explore possible changes in cognition of PWD during the intervention, namely episodic memory and verbal fluency. Using a mixed methods design, data were collected at five points and analysed using content and thematic analyses. The findings suggested that episodic memory and verbal fluency appeared to improve during the art gallery-based intervention. This was substantiated by family carers who also reported that PWD showed increased mood, confidence and social interaction, and that they valued the shared experience and learning opportunity. Whether these changes can be attributed to the intervention is a matter for further research beyond this exploratory study. Future research is proposed to further understand the implications of these preliminary findings. Section C presents a critical appraisal of the research. Research skills that have been learned and developed over the course of the process are discussed, such as increased awareness of the benefits of working within a wider research community. There is consideration of the need to communicate clearly and sensitively with other professionals from differing backgrounds and organisations, as well as the importance of building on a coherent evidence base when designing a research project. Better organisation relating to recruitment and investigation into recording during the art-viewing sessions at the gallery are identified as aspects that would be done differently, as well as consideration of using a case study approach. Clinical consequences of the research are discussed, such as utilising a community psychology approach and involving art and creativity in therapeutic sessions. Finally, further research in the area is considered, such as by expanding the study and using robust neuropsychological measures to detect cognitive change.

Charrue, Barbara. "Everywhere and Nowhere: Public Art Interventions in Qatar." VCU Scholars Compass, 2016. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/4117.
Full textAbstract:
Qatar is rapidly becoming an internationally renowned art hub not only through the construction of numerous museums and galleries, but also through the development of public art projects.
I strongly believe that Qatar can be more than a place to work; it can be a space where art is part of public spaces. But how can we fully and effectively integrate art into public space in Qatar? How can Qatar be more than a place where we work, eat, sleep, and go to the mall from time to time? How can public art involve / benefit the community and local artists? Can it shift behaviors from less of an exclusive to more of an inclusive community?
This research is an investigation on public art in order to enhance its development. Instead of commissioning internationally renowned public artworks that are massive and monumental, the objective of this research is to encourage social interaction between communities and local artists through participatory public art projects. This type of art engages users directly in the creative process, permitting them to be both co-actors and observers of the work. The outcomes tackle social engagement through public art interventions that trigger conversations and interactions among communities

Full textAbstract:
The effects of multiple interventions in organizational development change were studied in a comprehensive meta-analytic review. Thirteen organizational interventions were assessed on five outcome variables based upon previous research of six major meta-analytic reviews. Findings based on 138 studies indicated that there were no significant effects of multiple interventions on positive organizational change as opposed to individually implemented interventions. The findings are not congruent with previous findings of organizational development change, and possible issues surrounding these differences are discussed.

Lancaster, Linus. "Soils and interventions." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/4761.
Full textAbstract:
The problem that I have identified during my research for this dissertation is the quantifiable depletion and exhaustion of large percentages of the world's soils through human activity in agriculture and other industrial practices. In the course of researching this problem I have looked closely at some of the primary causes, and a range of proposed and applied solutions in the field of ecology. The primary focus of the research has been in looking at how artists have responded to ecological issues and have engaged in environmental activism in their practices. Integral to the research has been direct participation in collaborative art practices that investigate and strive to raise public awareness about issues related to soil ecology. It has proceeded through reading established texts, interviewing expert practitioners, publishing my findings, and presenting at numerous conferences, concurrently with direct participation in ecologically oriented practices, related artistic projects, professional art exhibits, activist events, and working in the field of professional organic farming. During the research phase I attended nine Planetary Collegium Sessions with fellow researchers and received valuable direction from supervising professors. The result is a written, theoretical dissertation that documents the research through text and photography in seven chapters. It has also produced a body of sculptures and documented physical experiments and performances that are motivated by, and speak directly to issues of soil ecology. The efficacy of the artwork that has been made in the course of researching problems in soil ecology comes from its continuation of, and direct participation in, established, contemporary art projects and movements that have had a demonstrable influence of society. The contribution that it makes to new knowledge is by addressing in unique ways the emerging subject of soils, which have tended to be overlooked in many ecological discussions, and in so doing it also brings to bear a unique combination of influences in its practice. These include: Art practice, Situationist performances, Core Shamanic practice (as developed by Michael Harner), soil science, inspiration drawn from a number of continental theorists, participation in sustainable agriculture, and political activism, applied simultaneously in a transdisciplinary body of work described herein specifically on behalf of soils. In this endeavor the dissertation and its body of produced objects and performances has also sought to blur some of the conventional lines between theoretical research, contemplation and practice, as appropriate to a trans-disciplinary project. Numerous discoveries have been made in the course of the research, chief among them that the new transdisciplinary approach to soil studies that my collaborators and I have taken turns out to be of necessity if we are to avert large-scale collapses of agriculture due to soil degradation on a global scale in the course of this century.

Cass, Nicholas. "Contemporary art and heritage : interventions at the Brontë Parsonage Museum." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2015. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/12608/.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I examine the Contemporary Arts Programme at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, with a particular focus on the commissioning and installation of artwork in the period interior of the museum. Reading the work of Paula Rego, Cornelia Parker, Su Blackwell, Charlotte Cory and Catherine Bertola through the literature of heritage and dialogical aesthetics, I seek to map the unexplored liminal territory between the Brontë Parsonage Museum as 'shrine' and the contemporary art installations as 'intervention'. The purpose, through following a trajectory which has its origin in what Malinowski described as 'foreshadowed problems', has been to produce a rich account of the ways in which art and heritage practices intersect. A reflexive ethnographic stance, in which the process has developed through and in, rather than prior to, the research process, acknowledges my own position as artist, museum educator and academic, engaged with a particular site where I have used visitor comment books and semi structured interviews with artists, staff and visitors to produce this account. This stance acknowledges that writing about art is itself a creative practice and should not be seen as existing as an independent, external addition; to be so, it would remain a 'shadow' of that which it describes. Instead, it is my purpose to map the complexity of these installations as points of reference in the broader topology of heritage practice and contemporary art to demonstrate that they are not reducible to the paradigmatic arguments which are used to describe their existence within the museum space. Often characterised as 'social outreach, public relations, economic development and art tourism', I argue it is more productive to consider these 'interventions' as dialogic heritage, both in order to understand their 'affective' role in the process of interpreting the legacy of the Brontës, and to understand ways in which they address visitor experience.

Young, Rhea. "The cognitive impact of art-gallery interventions for people with dementia." Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2014. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/12791/.
Full textAbstract:
Dementia is a progressive disease characterised by a widespread impairment of mental functioning including cognitive skills. Research has suggested that arts and health interventions can have positive effects in terms of physical and mental health in people with a dementia. The current study evaluated the impact of two, eight week, art-gallery based interventions, including art-viewing and art-making, for 13 people with dementia and their carers. Audio recordings of these sessions were transcribed and analysed using content analysis. The study sought to identify the impact of the intervention on cognition, in particular, on verbal fluency and memory. The findings suggested that on the whole, the intervention promoted increases in verbal fluency and in memory stimulation, which is consistent with previous research. Despite the methodological limitations inherent in this pilot study, the findings provide rationale for further controlled research and implications for clinical practice in encouraging clinicians to seek out links with community art gallery resources in order to facilitate the development of further interventions of this kind.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research has shown that people with dementia and carers derive wellbeing-related benefits from group art-viewing, and that facilitated museum object handling is effective in increasing subjective wellbeing for people with a range of health conditions. The present study aimed to compare the impact of these activities on subjective wellbeing of people with dementia and carers. A quasi-experimental crossover design was used. People with early to middle stage dementia and their respective carers (N = 66) attended a museum session in small groups where they participated in three activities: museum object handling, a refreshment break and art-viewing. Visual analogue scales were used to rate subjective wellbeing pre and post object-handling and art-viewing. Mixed-design ANOVAs indicated wellbeing significantly increased for people with dementia and carers during the museum session irrespective of the order in which they participated in object-handling and art-viewing. Analysis of pre and post-condition scores across pooled orders indicated wellbeing significantly increased from object-handling and art-viewing for carers; wellbeing for people with dementia significantly increased from object-handling; the increase from art-viewing was not statistically significant. A refreshment break did not produce significant change in wellbeing for either group. An end-of-intervention questionnaire indicated that experiences of the session were positive. Limitations and directions for future research were discussed. Results provided a rationale for partnership working between museums and healthcare professionals.

Full textAbstract:
Recognising art’s crucial function for reproducing economic and sexual differences, feminist political interventions - alongside a range of ‘new’ critical perspectives including Marxism, psychoanalysis and poststructuralism - have wrought historic changes upon the production, circulation and consumption of art. This is widely acknowledged in art historical scholarship. However, understanding that ‘art history’ (as a historically conditioned discipline) is concurrently reproductive of these ideological and material inequalities, feminist scholars have significantly and continually sought to intervene at the point of production – the writing of art’s history – to expose its social role and remake the fundamental terms of the discipline. This is a truth less widely acknowledged or, at least, less well-understood within contemporary scholarship. This thesis, therefore, seeks to examine the discipline of art history in Anglo- American contexts to assess the impact that feminist models of scholarship have had upon its knowledges and practices. This is attained through extensive literature overviews, archival research and, to a lesser extent, email interviews with key contributors to the discourse. Ultimately, this examination endeavours to address the production and regulation of feminist knowledge across a number of expanded (and interconnected) institutional sites. Case studies track the impact of feminist strategies upon the authoring of art history in the classroom, within scholarly professional organisations, academic publishing, the museum sector, and upon art-making itself. The research evaluates the mutable power structures of the discipline, how feminist interventions have had success in rethinking the limits of institutional knowledge, and how it may be possible to articulate critique under twenty-first-century conditions of institutional complicity and the hegemonic recuperation (or indeed ‘disciplining’) of radical practices. To date – and despite its prominence within much feminist writing - the importance of art historiography for the feminist political project has not been properly examined; the aim of this thesis is therefore to redress this omission and provide a timely and comprehensive critical reading of feminist knowledge production since around 1970.

Full textAbstract:
Dementia refers to a variety of diseases that are characterised by cognitive difficulties and an overall decline in daily living skills. Psychologically-informed arts and health interventions may be particularly valuable ways of improving the lives of people with a dementia and their carers. This study investigated arts-based interventions at two, London and Nottingham, art galleries where 12 people with mild to moderate dementia and their 12 carers were engaged in art-viewing and art-making. Post-intervention interviews with participants (n=12) and facilitators (n = 4), field notes and extensive written communication between the facilitators and research team was analysed using a grounded theory approach to establish how the intervention affected those involved. Three categories, a valued place, intellectual stimulation and social interaction, combined to create positive emotional and relational effects for both those with dementia and carers. In addition, there was evidence of a changed perception of dementia by facilitators. The resulting theory has potential implications for the use of arts within health and social care by applied psychologists, health, social care and museum professionals, as well as community services.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on a relational understanding of art developed in the 20th century, this practice-led study explores how public art interventions provide insights into social, cultural, and political divides within fragmented communities, public visibility and representation for marginalized individuals and groups, and alternative views to the contextual norm. Situated within historical and critical contexts, and the ‘local’ setting of Northern Cyprus, this study explores components of public art interventions in relation to their ‘successful’ practice. Northern Cyprus has been influenced politically, socially, and culturally by Turkey, the only country to recognise the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, since before the division of Cyprus. Conflict arising from the adoption of respective national identities caused separation of Greek Cypriots from Turkish Cypriots on the island. Varying views on the imposition of national and religious values upon Turkish Cypriots have marginalized progressive, alternative, and liberal lifestyles and ways-of-thinking. Unlike conventional platforms, public art interventions have the potential to attract attention to narratives surrounding social, political, and cultural issues isolated from traditional public platforms. The fieldwork consists of intervention-participants and the researcher-as-participant collaboratively and collectively creating public art interventions within varying contexts, using sound, performance, posters and stencils, situated in public spaces in Northern Cyprus, followed by the observation and documentation of postintervention participants’ engagement and interaction. The researcher-as-participant, using ethnographic interviewing methods, conversed with post-intervention participants about their intervention experience, providing a basis for hermeneutic analysis within the local context. Findings reveal that public spaces can be utilized as platforms accessible to all members of a community, making visible narratives deviating from those dominating traditional private and public platforms, narratives in which public art intervention practices reclaim the right to public space by marginalized and alternative communities excluded from the ‘public sphere’. Interventionists’ emic understanding of social, cultural, and political references can create form and content within a context that is inclusive of its audience, leading to successful public art intervention practices. Not every public art intervention has the same degree of success, and it is only through the careful articulation of form, content, and context that the practice is able to instigate thought and discussion surrounding the subject matter of the intervention beyond the practitioners’ circle.

Full textAbstract:
In the twentieth century, collecting became a core activity of local authority art galleries and museums in Britain. A key feature of these art collections was the representation of Twentieth Century British Art. The aim of this study is to examine, for the first time, this development as abroad cultural phenomenon, through the distinctive roles played by central government-funded, and independent national and provincial art collection schemes. The central government-funded art collection schemes are the V. & A Purchase Grant Fund, War Artists' Advisory Committee and the National Heritage Memorial Fund; and the national loan and exhibition schemes offered by the Tate Gallery and the Arts Council. Independent schemes are more numerous and varied. These were administered by the National Art Collections Fund (now the Art Fund), Contemporary Art Society, Scottish Modem Arts Association, Contemporary Art Society for Wales, Henry Moore Foundation and Gulbenkian Foundation. In addition, there were the independent national loan and exhibition schemes offered by the Museums Association, Peter Stuyvesant Foundation and Alistair McAlpine and provincial schemes based in Manchester (Charles Rutherston Loan Scheme), Cardiff (National Museum of Wales Loan Scheme), Liverpool ('John Moores' competition-exhibitions) and Bradford ('International Print Biennale' competition-exhibitions). Given the geographical coverage, historical scope and focus of this study, a substantial body of published and unpublished literature was consulted. The wide-range of sources examined included institutional histories, biographies and studies of Twentieth-Century British Art; permanent collection and exhibition catalogues; newspaper, journal and magazine articles, curatorial records and correspondence; institutional records and correspondence; archival material and reports; and . correspondence and interviews. This entailed the discovery of much new material and the collation of substantial random data held by the Contemporary Art Society and the Gulbenkian Foundation This research seeks to show that local authority collecting of Twentieth-Century British Art was part of a nation-wide cultural pattern determined by certain ideas, theories and policies. Within this context, Section 1 identifies and discusses the nature and purpose of public art galleries, muscums and their art collections from 1845-1945. This momentous period in the museum movement in Britain, it is argued, sustained and generated ideas, theories and policies which encompassed national institutional hierarchies and their models of collecting, high art aesthetic standards and scholarship linked connoisseurship; the organic structure of museums; and multifaceted education. It concludes that during this formative period, an enduring cultural framework was established, from which emerged key collecting impetuses which are art history, patronage and heritage. Sections 2 and 3 examine the roles played by central government-funded and independent schemes, as a response to these issues, which also engendered and reinforced the collecting of specific types of Twentieth Century British Art. Section'4 surveys the local authority collections, which participated in the schemes, and concludes that 1957-79 was a crucial period in post-war collecting, which was both facilitated by the emergence of a considerable and dynamic network of commercial art galleries, and enhanced by national and provincial measures to decentralize the arts. A principal conclusion is that the future of modem (twentieth-century) and contemporary (twenty-first- century) British art collecting, by local authority art galleries and museums, lies in its perception as part of a collective cultural enterprise, in which the intervention of collection schemes will, as in the past, play a fundamental role. Finally, there is also a strong argument for provincial institutions to feed into a national debate as to what is selected to represent both modem and contemporary British art practice in public collections in general.

Full textAbstract:
Our society is changing, becoming a postmodern world with more attention paid to the emotional part of human beings. Organisations must develop new skills to enhance their members’ creativity and provide innovation in order to tackle new challenges. The transformation of our society provides also space for new thinking and new solutions; there is a need to be more open-minded. Organisational managers hence look into new directions to answer issues – one of them is the arts. One of arts’ manifestations in organisations is artistic interventions. Our study provides a presentation of this process, our understanding and reflection about this field and why we think it is relevant for the postmodern society in which we live. In this thesis we present our vision and theory of how a manager transforms themself into a leader through an artistic intervention and the impact on the organisational culture that the latter produces. We highlight the importance of the intervention’s follow-up and the way in which managers/leaders can lead this process to success. Our research is based on the existing literature in different fields that we have found relevant and that has enabled us to develop our own theory on the topic, with hope that it will interest other researchers to go further. In that sense, we give directions and reflections for future research.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis will take issue with Citibank's purchase of Banamex and its art collection in
2001 as a point of departure to discuss how legislation on national patrimony is changing as
Mexico opens up the cultural sector to foreign and private ownership. I will contextualize this
change through a review of Banamex and Televisa involvement in the cultural field since the late
1960s.
I will also examine how the adoption of neoliberal economic measures has encouraged the
participation of the private sector and the shift from a state funding system towards a model of
transnational corporate philanthropy. In this context, I will argue that the emergence of corporate
philanthropy in Mexico is a direct result of the re-distribution of finance capital that accompanied
Mexico's neoliberal turn.
For most part of the twentieth century, the Mexican state was the sole sponsor and
manager of cultural matters. This funding system began to change in the late 1960s when private
citizens and corporations began to invest more openly in the arts as the one-party-rule of the
Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) began to decline. In the late 1990s as Mexico integrated to
the global economy, a need to update this form of management became urgent. Encouraged by the
possibility to democratize and decentralize the state's funding system, new state cultural
apparatuses that promoted private intervention were established. However, within the framework
of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), these newly formed state institutions did
not legislate in favor of protectionist measures in the cultural field and rather opted to continue
espousing a nationalist rhetoric (without a legal backing) while opening up the sponsoring and
ownership of culture and national patrimony to an increasingly transnational private sector. This
situation gave rise to debates about the privatization of culture, the inefficient legislation in
cultural patrimony, and most importantly, the new role that the state should adopt in handling
cultural matters as Mexico's political environment moved towards a democracy aligned to
neoliberal economics. I will address how Banamex and Televisa, two of the first corporations to
invest in culture and develop cultural foundations, became protagonists in these debates.Arts, Faculty of

The goal of this model is to articulate how activation, reorganization, growth and reintegration of the self can emerge from bodymind processes activated by art therapy. It provides a framework for the conduct of research that will test the key theoretical mechanisms through which art therapy benefits clients. We expect this model to be a spring board for discussion, debate and development of the profession of art therapy. Furthermore, we hope readers can use this model to conduct sound mechanistic studies. This paper can inform social scientists and medical professionals on the manner in which art making can contribute to health.

Full textAbstract:
The transformation of cities is a challenge of global significance that will depend on the capacity to re-imagine the potential of cities, and thus needs more than standard technocratic urban planning approaches. Deep engagement with the arts provides one avenue for recasting the future of cities. This thesis explores the question of how ‘critical urban art interventions’ develop alternative ways of knowing urban nature, and the opportunities and limitations of using art to reimagine the future of cities. By drawing on urban political ecology and cultural geography, the thesis documents and explores the aims and tactics used in five urban art interventions to reimagine sites of urban nature in Stockholm. Qualitative interviews and participant observation were carried to explore these questions. Findings suggest that tactics used in urban art interventions promote embodied ways of knowing, and simultaneously interacting with the physical and socio- historical constructions of sites of urban natures.

Full textAbstract:
By the 1990's many modes of artwork incorporated the constructs of the museum. Art forms including, 'ethnographic art', 'museum interventions', 'museum fictions' and 'artist museums' were considered to be located in similar realms to each other. These investigations into this emerging 'genre' of collection-art have primarily focussed upon the critique of the public museum and its grand-narratives. This thesis will attempt to recognise that the critique of institutional hierarchical systems is now considered integral to much collection art and extends this enquiry to incorporate private collections which examine the narratives of everyday existence. This paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach to material culture and art criticism in examining everyday objects within contemporary collection-art. In this context, this paper argues that: the investigation of collection motivations (fetish, souvenir and system) as metaphor, process and imagery in conjunction with the mimicking of museology methodologies (classification, order and display) is an effective model for interpreting everyday objects within contemporary collection-art. In formulating this argument, this paper examines the ways in which artists emulate museology methodologies in order to convey cultural significance for everyday objects. This is explored in conjunction with the employment of collection motivations by artists as a device to understand elements of human/object relations. In doing so, it contemplates the convergence between the practices of museums and collection-artists. These issues are explored through the visual and analytic investigations of key artist case studies including: Damien Hirst, Sylvie Fleury, Mike Kelley, Christian Boltanski, On Kawara, Luke Roberts, Jason Rhoades, Karsten Bott and Elizabeth Gower. In doing so, this paper argues that the everyday objects of collection-art can represent a broad range of socio/cultural concerns, so delineating a closer relationship between collection-art and material culture.

Full textAbstract:
This grounded theory study describes practitioner decision-making processes regarding best interest determinations for granting children the power of assent to art interventions and the procedures used to initiate participation. Assent refers to the agreement of a minor to participate in activities, while recognizing the developmental limitations of children to render a fully reasoned decision. Twelve practitioners who use art in their clinical work with children participated in direct interviews. The narrative data collected was conceptualized, categorized, and coded using a Paradigm Model. Results link the present study to Awareness Context Theory, suggesting that best interest determinations are guided by concerns not to disrupt the existing level of child's awareness to intervention and to the practitioner's role.

Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on a small group of female offenders in England and the ways in which engagement in the arts during incarceration can support and accelerate the desistance process. In the most recent review of the female prison estate, Robinson (2013) suggests that ‘life’ and ‘independence’ skills should be acquired in prison in preparation for release. Communication and social skills form the basis of many of the mainstream intervention programs within the Criminal Justice System (Caulfied & Wilkinson 2017:20). Expansion of independence skills would support the other skills that women learn in prison and offer a very practical response to the difficulties that they describe in their lives in the community (Robinson 2013). This research explores whether access to the arts within prison can form the basis of fostering such skills in order to motivate and engage learners. The transition from ‘offender’ to ‘ex-offender’ is considered, as are the ways in which agency acquired through the arts can be applied throughout the continuing stages of rehabilitation. By following a woman’s journey upon release and her integration back into the community the study determines whether the arts can sustain to the final stage of the desistance process, when someone creates a replacement self. The case studies of six women serving sentences at the same prison between 2012 and 2014 form the basis of this research, with their stories and experiences being told through their artwork and interviews. A criminological model of desistance developed by Giordano et al. (2002) contextualised alongside Margaret Archer’s (2003) theory of identity formation is critually evaluated. Links and comparison between evolving reflexive identities and transitional stages of desistance are presented in order to answer the research questions. In doing so, it is determined as to whether identity subgroups bare resemblance to specific stages in the desistance process. Critical analysis considers whether an individual can develop or re-establish an identity as a result of the creative activities they engage in during incarceration.

Full textAbstract:
Clinical and subclinical eating pathology are common, especially among female undergraduates. Such problems are often chronic and associated with a range of negative medical and psychological outcomes. Thus, it is important to develop effective prevention programs to reduce eating disorder risk. Numerous studies suggest that dissonance-based prevention programs are the most successful in reducing eating disorder risk factors, however, such programs might not be convenient for students limited by scheduling restraints or geographic proximity. Further, some students may be reluctant to attend such groups due to lack of anonymity. One way to address these potential barriers is to adapt dissonance-based programs for online use. However, no extant studies have examined the feasibility of this mode of delivery for dissonance-based programs. The current study examined the effectiveness of an online dissonance-based program, and compared it with traditional face-to-face delivery and assessment-only control conditions. It was hypothesized that: 1) online and face-to-face dissonance programs would produce comparable results; and 2) both of these active treatments would yield improvements in eating disorder outcomes (e.g. reduced thin ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, dieting, negative affect, and eating disorder symptoms) compared with an assessment-only control condition. Results partially supported the original hypotheses. Modified intent-to-treat analyses (MITT) indicated that participants in both the face-to-face and online intervention groups showed less body dissatisfaction at post-intervention assessment compared to assessment only participants. Further, when analyses were conducted using a non-intent-to-treat (non-ITT) approach (examining only the outcomes of participants who completed the intervention), significant post-intervention differences were observed for all outcome variables. Specifically, individuals in both intervention groups showed lower thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, restraint, negative affect, and fewer eating disorder symptoms compared to assessment only participants. This study indicates that there may be some promise in adapting dissonance-based eating disorder prevention programs for online use. Future studies should continue to refine online adaptations of such programs and examine the effects of such programs with different populations.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to determine if there is an effect on intervention/nonintervention attitudes associated with an introductory microeconomics class. The population consisted of all students enrolled in eighteen sections of Economics 1100 during the Fall semester, 1984, at North Texs State University. There were seven sections of Economics 1100, ten sections of Sociology 1510, and ten sections of Political Science 2010 used as control groups. The instruments used for pretesting and posttesting were the twenty-three item Attitude Scale and Demographic Questionnaire. The Attitude Scale contained twelve intervention and eleven nonintervention questions. Intervention questions were reverse scored so that a high score is noninterventionist and a low score is interventionist. Data were analyzed using a multiple linear regression to determine how each variable affected the intervention/nonintervention student attitudes.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescent students with psychiatric disorders who are educated in day treatment school classrooms manifest cognitive limitations, maladaptive behaviors, and social functioning deficits that often lead to academic failure, impeding their productivity when they become adults and causing them to run afoul of the criminal justice system. Informed by their students' interests and perspectives, day treatment schoolteachers can individualize existing curricular and behavioral interventions, or develop alternatives so that unwanted classroom behaviors decrease and academic performance improves. This qualitative case study used Roland Barthes' (1981, 1985) theory of semiotics as a conceptual framework for answering how an analysis of photographs taken by adolescent day treatment school students who have psychiatric disorders provide insight into the students' interests and perspectives. The photography of seven adolescent participants, who were placed in a day treatment school and involved in its photography elective, was found to have communicated their interests and perspectives. A semiotic analysis was conducted of the photographs they took, observation notes made at the time the photographs were taken, and questionnaires collecting their reflections on taking the photographs. Should school-wide photography programs be implemented in day treatment schools and in schools with similar student populations nationwide, those programs could generate more effective curricula informed by their students' interests and perspectives. This could lead to a larger percentage of their graduates becoming productive members of society, thus prompting positive social change.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis la découverte des médicaments, leur consommation est en constante augmentation. Cependant, leur utilisation n’est pas dépourvue de risques ; ainsi, la sécurité du médicament occupe un intérêt particulier dans les systèmes de soins et l’iatrogénie médicamenteuse représente un problème majeur de santé publique. La sécurisation du circuit du médicament impliquant les différents professionnels de santé et le patient favorise la réduction de cette iatrogénie. Plusieurs travaux de recherche ont démontré que les problèmes iatrogènes survenaient en majorité au cours de la prescription. Ainsi, l’implication du pharmacien dans la politique des soins et son intervention lors de l’analyse des prescriptions constituent des éléments clés dans la prévention des événements iatrogènes médicamenteux. Par conséquent, nous nous sommes intéressés au thème des bonnes pratiques d’interventions pharmaceutiques, leur codification, leur documentation, leur impact et leur diffusion. D’abord, nous avons mené un état des lieux sur les observatoires documentant des interventions pharmaceutiques. Cette revue systématique de la littérature a mis en lumière la rareté des observatoires documentant des pratiques de pharmacie clinique (i.e. : pratiques d’interventions) par rapport à ceux s’intéressant uniquement à la détection des problèmes iatrogènes. Ensuite, nous avons étudié les données de l’observatoire Act-IP© afin d’analyser une masse importante d’interventions pharmaceutiques pour caractériser les pratiques d’analyse pharmaceutique en France. Cette analyse a révélé une variabilité des pratiques entre les disciplines. De plus, elle a révélé que le problème de surdosage est le plus identifié par les pharmaciens cliniciens. Un nombre faible de médicaments était à l’origine de tous les problèmes pharmacothérapeutiques identifiés. Concernant la pertinence de l’intervention pharmaceutique, nous avons identifié que le type de l’intervention, la classe médicamenteuse impliquée et l’intégration du pharmacien dans les unités de soins peuvent influencer l’acceptation de l’intervention par le prescripteur. Puis, nous avons mené l’étude DACLI-DIP visant à tester un modèle de diffusion de ces pratiques bien structurées et bien développées en France, dans un autre contexte en l’appliquant à la pratique hospitalière au Liban. Après la mise en œuvre, la formation des pharmaciens libanais et le contrôle-qualité de la documentation, les interventions pharmaceutiques menées ont été codifiées et documentées selon la même méthode que dans l’observatoire Act-IP©. L’analyse des données collectées a révélé un profil de problèmes et d’interventions en cohérence avec ceux d’autres travaux internationaux. Elle a montré que les interventions pharmaceutiques ont un impact clinique significatif positif et un impact organisationnel favorable. L’analyse a mis en évidence que les problèmes de « non-conformité aux référentiels/CI » à impact clinique modéré conduisaient aux interventions pharmaceutiques les plus acceptées par les prescripteurs. Au vu de ces résultats, il apparaît que le déploiement de l’outil Act-IP© associé à une standardisation des pratiques de codification et de documentation des interventions pharmaceutiques, est un moyen de promouvoir les activités de pharmacie clinique et leur impact bénéfique sur le système de soins. Pour les études futures, le modèle testé dans le contexte libanais pourrait servir de modèle de diffusion des services pharmaceutiques dans d’autres pays n’ayant pas encore développé les activités de pharmacie cliniqueSince the discovery of drugs, their consumption is constantly increasing. However, their use is not without risks; thus, patient safety is the main goal of each therapeutic strategy in the system of health care, and iatrogenic problems are a major public health problem. Securing the circuit of the drug involving different health care professionals and the patient promotes the reduction of these iatrogenic problems. Several studies have shown that the majority of iatrogenic problems occur during prescribing. Thus, the involvement of the pharmacist in the care policy and its intervention during medication review are key elements in the prevention of iatrogenic drug events. As a result, we focused on the good pharmacists’ interventions’ practices, their coding, their documentation, their impact and their diffusion. First, we conducted a state of knowledge on observatories documenting pharmacists’ interventions. This systematic review has highlighted the scarcity of observatories documenting clinical pharmacy practices (i.e. interventions’ practices) compared to those focusing solely on the detection of iatrogenic problems. Next, we studied data from the Act-IP© observatory in order to analyze a big data of pharmacists’ interventions to characterize the pharmaceutical analysis practices in France. This analysis revealed a variability of practices across ward specialties. In addition, it revealed that the problem of overdose is the most identified by clinical pharmacists. It highlights also that problems and interventions in daily routine practices concern few drugs. Regarding the relevance of the pharmacist’s intervention, we have identified several factors that may affect the acceptance of the intervention by the prescriber such as the drug class involved, the intervention’s type and the integration of the pharmacist in the care units. Then, we conducted the study DACLI-DIP to test a model of diffusion of these well-structured and well-developed practices in France, in another context by applying it to the hospital practices in Lebanon. After the implementation, the training of Lebanese pharmacists and the quality control of the documentation, pharmacists’ interventions carried out were codified and documented according to the same method as in the Act-IP© observatory. The analysis of the collected data revealed a profile of problems and interventions in coherence with those of other international works. It has shown that pharmacists’ interventions have a significant positive clinical impact and a favorable organizational impact. The analysis revealed that the problems of “non-conformity to guidelines/CI” with moderate clinical impact led to the most accepted pharmacists’ interventions by the prescribers. In view of these results, it appears that the deployment of the Act-IP© tool associated with a standardization of codification’s practices and documentation of pharmacists’ interventions, is a way to promote clinical pharmacy activities and their beneficial impact on the system of care. For future studies, the model tested in the Lebanese context could help as a model for the diffusion of pharmaceutical services in other countries that have not yet developed clinical pharmacy activities

Full textAbstract:
Many successful interventions are not maintained after researchers leave an organisation at the conclusion of a study. This research was conducted to assess the magnitude of this problem and determine which variables affect intervention maintenance. Maintenance was examined in a review and analysis of 125 applicable studies published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management from 1977 - 1999. Where necessary, authors of studies were contacted to determine the maintenance status of their intervention. The analysis found the extent of this problem in published studies is substantial. Intervention maintenance was necessary to maintain the intervention�s effects in two thirds of studies with successful interventions. Of all studies where maintenance was necessary, approximately 40% failed to maintain the intervention. The maintenance procedures derived from the literature, researchers in the field, and journal analysis included planning for a wide range of positive outcomes, designing the intervention to be long-term, and communicating the benefits of the intervention to the organisation. For this thesis, three studies were conducted to examine the effectiveness of these maintenance procedures. The first two studies partially replicated studies where the interventions had been successful but not maintained, with the inclusion of maintenance procedures. Intervention maintenance occurred in a university cafeteria in Study 1, and in one of three supermarkets in Study 2. Study 3 improved on the design and procedure of Study 2, including a manipulation of the maintenance procedures. During intervention in the control supermarket, signs designed to increase customer donations to the supermarket foodbank bin were placed on shelves near discounted items. In the experimental supermarket, both maintenance procedures and signs were used. During 6 weeks of follow-up, the signs were maintained in both supermarkets. The researcher then ceased regular observations, returning only for 1 month, 2 month, and 1 year follow-ups. After researcher presence was withdrawn, maintenance of the signs continued only in the experimental supermarket. This study demonstrates that the maintenance procedures were effective, and necessary, for long-term maintenance to occur after the researcher left the organisation. It was concluded that the maintenance procedures were effective for encouraging intervention maintenance, and recommended that researchers incorporate the procedures into their studies when maintenance is desirable.

Full textAbstract:
Caregivers' evaluation of evidence-based behavioral interventions may differ dependent upon the type of language used to describe the intervention. We administered a survey to 24 parents of children with autism to assess social validity measures of behavioral interventions described in one of three communication styles: technical, conversational, and conversational with intended outcome. Participants were presented with a description of two behavior-reduction and two behavior-acquisition interventions. Overall, interventions described in conversational with intended outcome style received the highest social validity ratings, while interventions described in the technical style received the lowest ratings. Moreover, behavior-acquisition interventions were rated significantly higher than behavior-reduction interventions when described in either conversational or conversational with intended outcome style. The current study supports the requirements of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's Compliance Code that behavior analysts should inform the client/consumer of the treatment/interventions in an understandable language. Findings are also discussed in terms of verbal communities.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction Universal access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) during pregnancy and breastfeeding has implications for retention in HIV care and adherence to ART. Retention and adherence may be especially challenging during antenatal and postnatal periods, where women living with HIV have competing responsibilities between infant care, self-care and personal responsibilities. Lifelong ART also highlights the role interconception care (ICC) and preconception care (PCC) interventions can play in improving maternal outcomes. While the latter exist for other health topics, ICC and PCC interventions targeting women living with HIV has the potential to maintain retention in care and adherence to ART during, after, and in between pregnancies. This systematic review evaluates interventions that aim to improve retention and adherence in pregnant and postpartum women. Methods The Cochrane Library; MEDLINE via PubMed; Web of Science; and EBSCOHOST (Africa Wide, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, PsychArticles, Health Source Nursing Academic, PsychInfo) and conference databases were searched for articles in English published between 1990 to 2020. All study designs, intervention types and geographic locations were included. Data were extracted using a standardized tool, and effect sizes recalculated for all studies. Risk of bias was conducted using tools suited to specific study designs, and the PRECIS-2 tool assessed intervention applicability in real-world settings. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42020185196). Results Thirty-one studies were identified, of which 31 and 16 provided retention and adherence data, respectively. No interconception or preconception care interventions were found. Interventions were predominantly from Sub-Saharan Africa, except one from the USA. Intervention types varied and included integration of services, peer support, mhealth and multicomponent interventions. The definitions of retention and adherence used for outcome assessment varied widely across studies, but almost all were scored as pragmatic in real-world settings. Due to high heterogeneity, a narrative approach was used based on study reported data and the effect sizes. Conclusion Overall, heterogeneity of identified studies make definitive recommendations for interventions scale up difficult. Future interventions will benefit from consistent study designs, outcome definitions, outcome measurements, validated tools, and longer retention time points will strengthen the evidence base. Ongoing studies being conducted show promise in addressing some of these points.

Music therapists use songwriting interventions to address a variety of goals with several populations. Nevertheless, limited research exists regarding the use of songwriting interventions with individuals who are grieving. The purpose of this study was to examine practices and perceptions of board-certified music therapists working with clients who are grieving, specifically: (a) common interventions used to address grief (b) use of songwriting intervention; (c) perceived effectiveness of songwriting; and (d) music therapists’ comfort levels and training in implementing songwriting interventions. An online survey was sent to 6,292 board-certified music therapists, 324 of whom completed the survey. Participants reported that they use counseling techniques, singing, and songwriting with individuals who are grieving. Respondents indicated that songwriting was most effective in increasing emotional expression of clients who are grieving. All participants (N = 324, 100%) believed that songwriting could be an effective intervention for clients who are grieving. Music therapists expressed a need for further training in implementing songwriting interventions.

Full textAbstract:
This document reviews qualitative assessments used to explore the impact on art therapy interventions with patients in cancer treatment. The study explored the use of qualitative assessment in evaluating patient perspective on receiving art therapy adjunctly with cancer treatment. In addition, the research aimed to determine if art therapy interventions are perceived as effective in helping cancer patients reduce stress, cope, improve quality of life, express emotions, and reduce cancer-related symptoms during and after cancer treatment through qualitative assessment. Approximately 300 cancer patient experiences were reviewed through surveying qualitative studies that explored the effects of art making in cancer treatment through qualitative assessment such as interviews, questionnaires, observations, and open-ended questions. This archival research used a thematic approach to identify emergent themes in format, administration techniques, and impact in qualitative assessments to learn about the patient art therapy experience. The emergent themes were discovered while surveying information regarding types of formats and administration procedures used in qualitative cancer research. These findings suggest that qualitative assessments used in art therapy programs are a useful tool to determine how art interventions may help address patient's psychosocial needs, provide coping skills, and relieve cancer–related symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
The historical origins of Restorative Practices (RPs) can be traced back to the Māori communities in New Zealand (Wearmouth & Berryman, 2012). In the 1980s and 1990s RPs were applied in the criminal justice sector and a decade later in the educational sector (McCluskey, Lloyd, Stead, Kane, Riddell & Weedon, 2008b). According to a large-scale survey of English schools in 2009, some 69% reported to sometimes employ RPs (Kane, Lloyd, McCluskey, Maguire, Riddell, Stead & Weedon, 2009). The benefits of using RPs in schools are that it allows the focus to be shifted from punitive approaches to providing children with learning opportunities when conflict has occurred (Hopkins, 2003). The evidence base in the United Kingdom (UK) consists largely of evaluation studies for example a study was commissioned by The Scottish Executive Education Department (SEED) to measure the impact of RPs across 3 local authorities (Kane et al., 2009). The findings suggested that in 14 out of 18 schools, RPs had led to significant changes in practice, including increased positivity and reflectiveness in pupils and staff. Few research studies conducted in the UK have explored the perceptions of either the victim or ‘identified wrong-doers’ involved in RPs in school settings. Therefore the current study aimed to gain an insight into the perceptions of young people ‘identified as wrong-doers’ by school staff and who had been involved in some form of Restorative Interventions (RIs) such as a Restorative Conference (RC) or a Restorative Mediation (RM). A qualitative study was designed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). 7 participants were recruited (5 males, 2 females aged between 11 and 16) from a Secondary school. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews which were conducted between one and six weeks after the mediation or conference had taken place. The data was analysed and five master themes were created: the emotional component of being involved in the RI process; the experience of RIs as learning opportunities; the interactions between individuals before and during the RIs; the experience of feeling vulnerable and difficulties with recognising, processing and expressing thoughts and feelings. Some of these master themes directly related to the RP process and others related to the general experience of being an ‘identified wrong-doer’. Methodological issues and implications are considered. For instance, in terms of the research setting, the current study gives an indication of the elements of the RIs the participants valued (for example sharing stories) and found challenging (such as expressing their emotions). One of the implications for Educational Psychologists (EPs) could be supporting schools to employ RPs effectively to create an inclusive school environment.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing allergy prevalence in affluent countries may be caused by reduced microbial stimulation and a decreased dietary ω-3/ω-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) ratio, resulting in an abnormal postnatal immune maturation. The timing of allergy-preventive probiotic and ω-3 LCPUFA interventions is critical, as early-life events occurring during critical windows of immune vulnerability can have long-term impact on immune development. The maternal dietary and microbial environment during pregnancy may programme the immune development of the child. Prenatal environmental exposures may alter gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms, aiming to induce physiological adaptations to the anticipated postnatal environment, but potentially also increasing disease susceptibility in the offspring if exposures are mismatched. Although the importance of fetal programming mostly has been studied in cardiovascular and metabolic disease, this hypothesis is also very attractive in the context of environmentally influenced immune-mediated diseases. This review focuses on how prenatal, perinatal or postnatal ω-3 LCPUFA interventions regulate childhood immune and allergy development, and if synergistic effects may be obtained by simultaneous probiotic supplementation. We propose that combined pre- and postnatal preventive measures may be most efficacious. Increasing knowledge on the immunomodulatory effects of prenatal, perinatal and postnatal interventions will help to direct future strategies to combat the allergy epidemic.Funding Agencies|Swedish Research Council||Ekhaga Foundation||Research Council for the South-East Sweden||Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association||Olle Engkvist Foundation||Vardal Foundation - for Health Care Sciences and Allergy Research||

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes an investigation into experiences connected to the implementation of educational behavior-analytic interventions (ABA) for children with autism in kindergartens. The research questions and the methodological choices in this investigation evolved based on new experiences over the course of the research project. Three sub-studies were conducted: a single case study on the implementation of ABA teaching programs specifically targeting joint attention skills for children with autism in kindergartens (Study 1); a questionnaire survey on the experiences of ABA supervisors in implementing ABA in kindergartens (Study 2); and an interview study on the experiences of ABA teachers in implementing ABA in kindergartens (Study 3). During Study 1, it appeared that the teaching intensity of the targeted ABA teaching programs varied largely from what was initially planned for all four of the participating children. Under those conditions, the learning outcomes of the children also varied. With regard to Study 2, the survey data obtained from 29 ABA supervisors indicated that many children with autism who receive ABA in Norwegian kindergartens do not receive the number of teaching hours being planned for them. There also seems to be quite a large number of kindergartens that lack teaching teams and who receive supervision less than what is generally recommended to obtain the optimal outcome from ABA. With regard to Study 3, the interview data obtained from 10 ABA teachers illustrated how implementation factors such as compatibility, complexity, client responsiveness, and supervision can be manifested when ABA is implemented in the kindergarten. A main finding was that in some cases there seem to be conflicting opinions within the kindergarten about whether ABA is right for the child, something that was interpreted to reflect a conflict between the categorical and the relational perspectives of special education.Baksidestext This thesis describes an investigation into experiences connected with the implementation of educational behavior-analytic interventions (ABA) for children with autism in kindergartens. The three sub-studies that were conducted illustrated in different ways how ABA is not always implemented as intended. An important question that was addressed was what practitioners who work with ABA perceive as facilitating factors or barriers to the implementation of ABA in the kindergarten. The results of the study illustrated how implementation factors such as compatibility, complexity, client responsiveness, and supervision can be be manifested when ABA is implemented in the kindergarten. A main finding here was that in some cases there seem to be conflicting opinions within the kindergarten about whether ABA is right for the child, something that was interpreted to reflect a conflict between the categorical and the relational perspectives of special education.

Jimenez, Francesca M. "Music Performance Anxiety and Interventions in Conservatory and Liberal Arts Institution Music Students." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/779.
Full textAbstract:
Music performance anxiety (MPA) is reported in musicians of all experience, levels, and genre. However, solo classical musicians report MPA more often and at higher levels than performers in other genres because of its formal culture and traditional structure. Within solo classical musicians, collegiate training greatly differs between conservatories that award a Bachelor of Music (B.M.) and liberal arts institutions that award a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). In 2 studies, the proposed research examines the differences in general anxiety, MPA, and private lesson content between these two groups. Participants will be from the two groups of types of collegiate music students. In Study 1, participants will take the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), and a Personal and Musical Background Questionnaire (PMBQ) at 3 times intervals before a public, solo performance in order to assess general connections between anxiety and MPA. In Study 2, participants will partake in weekly session of 1 of 3 interventions (meditation, journal entry, and biofeedback training) in order to determine an effective method for preventing and coping with MPA. Proposed results suggest higher levels of general anxiety and MPA in conservatory music students and lower levels of MPA in participants who undergo biofeedback training. Individuals who report learning about MPA strategies in their lessons will have lower levels of MPA, suggesting the need to consistently address MPA in classical music pedagogy.
