Full textAbstract:
This study explored participants' experiences of being interviewed with the Adult Attachment Interview as a means of supporting counselor self-awareness and fostering effective counselor-client working alliances. A sample of first-year counselor education doctoral students (n = 7) completed an AAI interview and feedback session. Participants completed five reflective journals over three weeks and explored their experiences in individual, semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed according to interpretative phenomenological analysis protocol. Four superordinate themes emerged from the analysis: (a) reactions to the AAI interview process, (b) process with AAI feedback, (c) AAI and intrapersonal process, and (d) AAI and interpersonal process. Additionally, there were eight subordinate themes: (a) surprised by AAI interview process, (b) interview process sparked reflection, (c) initial reaction to AAI feedback, (d) evolving process of integrating AAI feedback, (e) AAI process increased awareness, (f) increased self-awareness increased self-efficacy, (g) awareness from AAI process prompted relational shifts, (h) impact of AAI on clinical work, (i) importance of relationships, (j) importance of self-awareness, and (k) mutual influence of personal and professional. Findings in this study suggest that the AAI is an effective tool in supporting counselor self-awareness regarding attachment strategies. Additionally, findings suggest multiple personal and professional benefits, such as increased awareness of conflict and stress management strategies. Limitations to the study and further discussion of the results are presented. Implications for clinical practice, counselor education, and future research are also included.

Vrochopoulos, Stamatis. "Effect of counselor obesity on client perceptions and expectations." Virtual Press, 1999. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1117719.
Full textAbstract:
Counselor physical attractiveness has been shown to affect subject perceptions and expectations. One characteristic which is particularly at odds with the attractiveness ideal is obesity. This study examined the potential effect of counselor obesity level on subjects' perceptions, expectations, and willingness to pursue counseling. Two hundred twenty-five students (146 women and 79 men) participated. Each subject rated one of six randomly selected counselor descriptions, including a photograph when appropriate, on the dependent measures (i.e., Counselor Rating Form-Short Version, Personal Problem Inventory, and questions rating physical attractiveness and willingness to pursue counseling). The data were analyzed using 2 (Gender of Counselor) X 3 (Obesity Level: Obese, Nonobese, Control) and 2 (Gender of Counselor) X 3 (Obesity Level) X 2 (Gender of Subject) ANOVA and MANOVA techniques, as appropriate. Male subjects perceived obese counselors to be less expert than did females. No other statistically significant differences based on Counselor Obesity Level were identified. Instead, main effects for both Gender of Counselor and Gender of Subject were obtained. Generally, the woman counselor was rated more positively than the man. Also, women subjects generally gave more positive ratings than did men. While the effects identified were statistically significant, their small effect sizes and small mean differences may limit their practical effect. Obesity level does not appear to affect how counselors are perceived or treated, particularly when they are moderately obese.<br>Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study, within a constructivist paradigm, researches the experience of one cohort of trained counsellors in the Centre for Counselling Studies at the University of Durham. Person-Centred Expressive Therapy, as developed by Natalie Rogers, was introduced into a humanistic integrative course with a strong Person-Centred ethos. The literature search encompassed both counsellor training and the expressive arts. Data was collected through semi-structured individual interviews and a focus group and analysed thematically. A second set of data emerged from immediate audio-taped feedback and journal entries following three Expressive Therapy sessions. It was analysed thematically and presented as narrative, using an ethnographic approach of juxtaposing 'episodes' and 'positioning’. of counsellor training, including the experiential learning of theory.

Full textAbstract:
What are the long and short term effects of working with suicidal clients on the person-centred counsellor? As suicide remains a major public health issue with the latest figures for the UK of 5706, an increase from 5377 in 2007 (ONS, 2010), suicide prevention strategies remain high on the public health sector agenda. With this statement in mind, and financial resources and funding at a low, an increased demand on psychological therapies can be assumed. As a result, the impact on individual practitioners will most likely intensify, personally and professionally. This research aims to explore the extent the impact may have, personally and professionally on the person-centred counsellor. The study was structured using semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of ten person-centred counsellors. A constant comparative method was applied to analyse transcribed data, from which four main categories emerged: ‘Experiencing the Therapeutic Encounter’, ‘Experiencing the Self within the Therapeutic Encounter’, ‘Seeking Solace – finding understanding’ and ‘Counsellor’s Grounding through Knowledge’, each subsumed by several lower order categories, from which a core category ‘The Counsellor’s Resilience’ emerged. The findings propose that, although the participants in this study were at times deeply affected, both personally and professionally, by their clients’ stories, they were able to reclaim their strength through seeking and finding support from supervisors, peers, holistic self-care and tacit knowledge, gained through personal experience and understanding. Formal training was identified as lacking in counselling training courses. The implications of the findings and recommendations are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The person of the counsellor, or what is sometimes referred to as the counsellor�s self, is the focus of this thesis. How the counsellor�s self is described and manifested during therapy constitute the two main research questions. Various perspectives are presented from psychoanalysis, behaviour therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, person centered therapy and systems therapy. While issues pertaining to the counsellor�s self have been explored predominately by systems therapists, this study extends previous research by involving interviews with counsellors from a range of orientations.
The study is conducted within an interpretative research paradigm, and data are collected and interpreted according to a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews with 16 counsellors, from a range of theoretical orientations, constitute the primary method of data collection. Other data sources include a short questionnaire sent to the same counsellors, the researcher�s reflective journal as well as recorded meetings between a peer debriefer and the researcher.
Study participants describe the counsellor�s self as a multifaceted, positive and integrated entity. The counsellor�s self includes participant�s professional knowledge and skills as well as their beliefs, values, thoughts, feelings, personal style and an unknown aspect of self that some participants referred to as their unconscious. While somewhat influenced by past relationships and the client, the counsellor�s self is primarily autonomous and defined by the individual counsellor. Although the counsellor�s self has the capacity to change over time, in different environments and with different clients, the self also includes notions of stability and consistency. The counsellor�s self is involved in therapy as an inevitable presence, a deliberate tool and a stance. Participants highlighted the importance of self-awareness and various professional and personal constraints on the involvement of self. A central function of the self in therapy is in the therapeutic alliance.
The study has implications for the training and supervision of counsellors and future psychotherapeutic research.

Full textAbstract:
Smoking remains a leading cause of premature, preventable death in South Africa killing 44 000 South Africans each year. Through the introduction of comprehensive tobacco control policies, the South African government has tried to reduce the death toll and a significant reduction in tobacco use has been recorded since its peak in the 1990’s. Smoking among women, however have remained unchanged, which calls for actions. Pregnant mothers are specifically vulnerable as their smoking detrimentally affects their own health as well as the health of their babies. This thesis gives an account of the role the antenatal care system could play in reducing the burden caused by cigarette smoking. The overall aim was to contribute to an understanding of how a person-centred approach to smoking cessation among disadvantaged pregnant women with high smoking rates may influence smoking behaviour. The specific objectives were to confirm the high smoking rates of the target population, assess their readiness to quit, explore existing barriers and promoting factors towards smoking cessation efforts within the public antenatal health care system, and to qualitatively assess the attitudes and perceptions of disadvantaged pregnant women regarding a personcentred smoking cessation intervention. The high smoking rates of the target population was confirmed based on a cross-sectional study at antenatal clinics in four main cities of South Africa. It focused on the prevalence of smoking during pregnancy and used the stages of change theory to identify their readiness to quit. Additional questions concerned pregnancy related disease experiences, socio-economic determinants of continued smoking as well as attitudes towards the existing clinic services and its possible role in smoking cessation. A qualitative interview study analyzed more in-depth barriers for two-way communication between pregnant mothers and midwives. Both these studies informed the design and development of a person-centred smoking cessation intervention delivered at four public sector antenatal clinics in Cape Town. The intervention was subjected to a comprehensive evaluation based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. This thesis utilizes data from the qualitative process assessment part, comprising individual interviews and focus group discussions with pregnant women during the implementation period of the intervention. The survey results pointed out a high prevalence of smoking of 46% amongst disadvantaged pregnant women, with varying readiness for behaviour change. Most women were in the contemplation stage of behaviour change and thus ready to quit. Many of the women felt positive about the role of the midwife as an antenatal care provider, but they did not have confidence in midwives concerning encouraging or supporting women to change addictive behaviour be it smoking, alcohol or other illegal substances. The qualitative research highlighted the need for revised curricula for health education and counselling. The analysis illustrated how the current situation created tension between clinic staff and pregnant women making women feel unworthy and thus leaving little room for changing behaviour. The in-depth interviews and the focus group discussions provided an analytical account of how the person-centred approach in this population was perceived by the women themselves. It illustrated that a multifaceted intervention programme, using peer counselors and educational material designed specifically for a given target population, can successfully bring about behaviour change. The intervention succeeded in shifting women’s perceptions of hopelessness into feelings of being empowered to face their addictions and competent to make a change. Though the intervention meant greater rapport with the midwives, involving peer counsellors was rated highly by the participating women. The women reported having used the educational material and attached a great value to the appropriateness of the material to their life situations, and the effectiveness of having it combined with counselling from a peer counsellor. This qualitative evaluation showed the importance of a multifaceted intervention approach, in helping women identify with their behaviour change. The thesis highlights the importance of designing smoking cessation interventions that are specific to the needs of target populations. When smoking cessation efforts are included into routine antenatal services it is important that the target group inform the nature and specific components of the intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous research studies have concluded that values drive perceptions, responses to situations, judgments, interactions among people, and behaviors. In addition, studies have found that congruence or agreement between individual values and organizational values can increase job satisfaction and commitment. Minimal research has explored the concept of value congruence between substance abuse counselors and their treatment settings, and its impact on perceived ethical work behaviors and organizational commitment. This study explored how the extent of fit between individual and organizational values impacts ethical work behaviors and organizational commitment of substance abuse counselors.

Dugan, Kevin P. "Relationship of counselor professional affiliation and counselor values." Virtual Press, 2002. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1233203.
Full textAbstract:
Therapist variables are considered an important research topic, because studies suggest that as clients improve in therapy their values shift towards that of their therapist. This study examined the relationship of professional counseling affiliation and counselor values.Five hundred surveys were sent nationally to counselors based on their membership in the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA), and the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD). Counselors completed a questionnaire which was comprised of a subset of the Jensen and Bergin Mental Health Value Instrument, the Religious Commitment Inventory10, and the Multicultural Counseling Inventory. Based on their primary affiliation as either a Christian, Multicultural, or General Mental Health counselor a final sample of 129 respondents was obtained. Group scores were analyzed through MANOVA and ANOVA techniques.The results of this survey found no differences among the various counseling groups for the mental health value of Autonomy or Self-growth. Christian counselors were found to report higher levels of the mental health value of Religiosity and Religious Commitment. Multicultural counselors were found to report higher levels of multicultural counseling competencies, especially in the areas of Multicultural Counseling Awareness and Multicultural Counseling Knowledge.These findings support the notion that there are differences in values among counselors based on their professional affiliation. Accordingly, it is suggested that future research efforts continue to examine the effect of professional counselor affiliation on counselor values. Special consideration should also be given to researching the process by which counselor values affect change in the part of their clients. Finally, counselors are encouraged in their therapeutic practiceto be aware of their operative value systems and share them with their clients as part of an informed consent.<br>Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
Counselor education programs strive to promote the personal development and wellness of counselors in addition to cognitive, skill, and professional competencies. The purpose of this study was to examine trends in self-reported levels of wellness of master's level counseling students. The cross-sectional study investigated the influence of time in a counselor education program on the wellness levels of counseling students. Students were surveyed at three points in their counselor education training: the beginning, middle, and end. Participants included 204 master's level counseling students enrolled in three CACREP-accredited counselor education programs located in the southeastern United States. Each participant completed the Five Factor Wellness Inventory (5F-Wel) and a demographic questionnaire. A monotonic trend analysis was conducted in SPSS Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to answer the question of whether master's level counseling students report higher levels of wellness as they advance through a counseling program. Additional univariate analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were performed in order to answer questions related to the influence of demographic variables. Results of the study yielded no significant trends in self-reported levels of wellness by students as they progressed through their counselor training. Furthermore, gender, cultural background, and a requirement for personal counseling were not significant in accounting for differences in the wellness levels of students. However, those students who reported that their counselor education program offered a wellness course reported statistically significant higher levels of wellness. Responses to an open ended question on the demographic questionnaire, 'What, if anything, have you learned in your counseling coursework that has helped you develop knowledge and skills regarding your personal wellness?" were included in the discussion to provide insight into the results of the study. The findings suggested that, while counselor education programs may not increase levels of wellness in students, evidence from the demographic questionnaire indicated that personal development and wellness were emphasized. Perhaps systematic procedures for teaching and evaluating student wellness could be implemented in counselor education programs to insure that goals regarding personal development and wellness are being met.<br>Ph.D.<br>Department of Child, Family and Community Sciences<br>Education<br>Counselor Education

Full textAbstract:
Due to demographic shifts and efforts to recruit culturally diverse professionals, it is plausible that more Caucasians will encounter ethnic minority counselors in the future. Yet, the majority of multicultural literature has only emphasized Caucasian counselors' multicultural counseling competence. Research has rarely discussed how ethic minority counselors influence the perceptions of Caucasian clients. The research purpose was to explore how acculturation and gender of Asian and Caucasian counselors influence Caucasians' perceptions of the counselors and counseling services.
With an analog research design, 562 Caucasian college students read 1 of 8 randomly assigned counselor descriptions, which were varied by counselor characteristics, and reported their perceptions on dependent measures: Counselor Rating Form - Short Version (CRF-S), Working Alliance Inventory - Short (WAI-S) and 4 Willingness items. With the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help - Shortened Form as a covariate, 15 hypotheses were expected that Caucasians would prefer high-acculturated, same sex, and same ethnic counselors tested by simple contrast, while an exploratory question, investigating main and interaction effects among independent variables (counselor ethnicity, acculturation and gender, and participant gender) on dependent measures, was examined by MANCOVA and ANCOVA.
Although only 2 of 15 hypotheses showed significance, the exploratory investigation revealed: Caucasian participants had a preference of high-acculturated counselors on CRF-S attractiveness, WAI-S and willingness to seek help. However, present data did not replicate the impression of similar ethnic matching in counseling dyads. On CRF-S expertness, Caucasian participants reported that Asian male counselors were perceived as more expert than Caucasian male counselors. For gender differences, the current finding showed that female participants were more willing to seek help for academic/career concerns, whereas male participants were more willing to discuss their somatic concerns.
For the research implications, with appropriate trainings in multicultural counseling competence, both Caucasian and non-Caucasian counselors could become effective therapists. Counseling agencies may need to keep counselors' background information minimum so it would not impede counseling relationships. With the limitation of analog study, the generalization of the current findings to actual clinical settings needs to be cautious. The qualitative research approach could expand our understandings concerning the current research direction in depth.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of the counselor's religious values on the counseling process has been a focal point recently in the literature on counseling and psychotherapy, especially with regard to how the counselor's announced values might effect potential clients' selection of a counselor. In the present study, the investigator addressed this issue in a study with 125 male and 125 female undergraduate students assigned to five different groups in which they read a script that differed with respect to the counselor's religious orientation. The content of the five scripts ranged from no mention of religious values to describing in detail the specific religious values of the counselor. Subjects' responses to the scripts were measured by having them rate (1) the degree of similarity in their own values and the announced values of the therapist; (2) their rating of how helpful they thought the therapist would be with their problem; and, (3) their stated willingness to see the counselor. Results indicated that subjects who read the script describing an agnostic counselor saw a significant degree of dissimilarity between their own and the counselor's values, but this did not affect subjects' perceptions of the counselor's helpfulness or their willingness to see the counselor. Differences in the degree of religiosity between subjects and sex differences observed were discussed as were implications for future research.

Cook, Robert S. "Counselor bias against stepfamilies." Virtual Press, 1996. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1027107.
Full textAbstract:
Stepfamilies are the fastest growing family type in America. Unfortunately, our society holds unwarranted negative attitudes about and negative stereotypes of stepfamilies and stepfamily members. Research indicates that stepfamilies are not an inherently dysfunctional or deficient type of family. On the contrary, stepfamilies can be as healthy as nuclear families, and they can produce emotionally healthy individuals. Healthy stepfamilies, however, are often different in the roles of family members and the quality of interactions between members. It is this difference between stepfamily functioning and the normative nuclear family expectations of society that appears to perpetuate negative stereotypes of stepfamilies.Some evidence suggests that counselors hold negative stereotypes of stepfamilies. As s-:ich it is likely that they will diagnose and treat stepfamilies from an inappropriate nuclear family model, perceiving stepfamilies to be more pathological than they are and, in treatment, attempting to fit stepfamilies into roles and relationships inappropriate for healthy stepfamily functioning. No research to date, however, has examined whether counselors' attitudes about stepfamilies affect diagnostic and treatment decisions.This dissertation conducted a national survey of counselor attitudes about stepfamilies. It examined three areas where counselor bias may affect service delivery: judgments regarding stepfamily health, diagnostic decisions, and treatment decisions. It found that counselors appear to generate differential ratings of family health and differential diagnostic impressions on the basis of family interaction style (healthy nuclear family versus healthy stepfamily) and on the basis of family label (nuclear family versus stepfamily). These differential ratings and impressions favor a nuclear family style combined with a nuclear family label in comparison to other family style and label combinations. Additionally, the Parent-Child relationships in a nuclear family that acts like a healthy stepfamily were rated to be more in need of treatment and more important to treatment than in other family styles.The results of this study suggest that experienced counseling psychologists may express bias against stepfamilies and against nuclear families that function outside a traditional nuclear model. They appear to use the traditional nuclear family as a standard against which other family interaction styles and types are found lacking.<br>Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships that exist among school counselor self-efficacy, perceptions of the professional school counselor's role held by counselors, and actual practice. Data were collected from 192 professional school counselors that attended a statewide counselor conference. Professional school counselors responded to two researcher-designed surveys; the first was a 14-item demographic survey; the second, a 20-item by four-question survey for a total of 80 responses. A Multiple Regression Analysis was used to ascertain what relationships existed between school counselor self-efficacy, school counselor perceived role, and actual practice. The questionnaire listed 20 different counselor and non-counselor roles, and four questions were asked of each role, to determine the degree to which school counselors identified with various roles, degree of self-efficacy in performing those roles, and how often they performed specific roles; the actual practice, and the degree to which professional development would enhance their performances in designated roles. Results indicated that there was a positive relationship between school counselors' experiencing higher self-efficacy and the actual practice in their perceived school counselor roles. As self-efficacy increased, their performance in various roles increased as well. Recommendations were made for preparation and practice of school counselors in counselor education programs. Additionally, suggestions were made for increased collaboration between counselor education programs and the school counseling programs in local schools to promote more integration of theory into practice. Furthermore, recommendations were offered for school principals and directors of school counseling programs to better utilize the expertise of professional school counselors in the school system.<br>Ph.D.<br>Department of Child, Family and Community Sciences<br>Education<br>Counselor Education

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how well rehabilitation counselor trainees in CORE accredited rehabilitation counseling programs are prepared to advocate clients. In order to seek an answer to this research question, this study (a) measured the rehabilitation counselor trainees' self-reported preparedness to advocate for their clients, (b) assessed the rehabilitation counselor educators' perceptions of their students' preparedness to advocate for their clients, (c) explored the relationship between rehabilitation counselor trainees' self-reported preparedness to advocate for their clients and their educational experiences as well as their demographic information, (d) investigated whether there was a significant difference between rehabilitation counselor educators' perception of their students' preparedness to advocate for their clients and the rehabilitation counselor trainees' self-reported preparedness. The results indicated that rehabilitation counseling students developed advocacy competencies in some areas. However, it was also found that rehabilitation counseling students have lower advocacy competencies in the community and public level domains than in the individual level. Rehabilitation counseling students reported that rehabilitation counseling course work and their prior experiences with persons with disabilities were most substantial factors in the process of developing advocacy competencies.

This purpose of this study was to investigate and examine the attitudes of therapists who treat HIV-positive (HIV+) clients. Specifically, therapists' perceptions of their own preparedness in dealing with specific issues and emotions of HIV+ clients were examined. Also, therapists' evaluation of their own efficacy of specific therapeutic approaches with HIV+ clients was examined. These therapists' perceptions and evaluations of all their clients in general were compared to their HIV+ clients. Comparisons were also made within the two groups.

Full textAbstract:
Person-environment (PE) fit has been considered one of the most pervasive concepts in psychology. This study presents an integrative investigation of three levels of PE fit: person-vocation (PV) fit, person-organization (PO) fit, and person-job (PJ) fit, using multiple conceptualizations (e.g., value congruence, needs-supplies fit) of each fit level. While a trend in the PE fit literature has been the inclusion of only one fit level with a single conceptualization, researchers call for the addition of multiple conceptualizations of multiple fit levels in a single study. Traditionally, PO fit has been conceptualized as value congruence, whereas PV fit has remained untouched in the literature investigating the direct measurement of fit perceptions. Therefore, new fit perceptions scales assessing PO fit using a needs-supplies fit conceptualization and PV fit using a variety of conceptualizations were introduced. To address the limitation of employing direct measures, common method variance was modeled with a positive affect factor. The study accomplished two objectives. First, a previously supported three-factor model of fit perceptions consisting of PO value congruence (PO-VC), PJ needs-supplies (PJ-NS), and PJ demands-abilities (PJ-DA) fit was strongly replicated. Second, this model was expanded by examining additional conceptualizations (needs-supplies, demands-abilities fit, value, personality, and interest congruence) of fit levels (PV, PO, and PJ fit). Results suggested that professionals make distinctions based on both the fit level and fit conceptualization and these fit perceptions uniquely influence their attitudes and behaviors. A six-factor model (PO-VC, PJ-NS, PJ-DA, PO needs-supplies fit [PO-NS], PV demands-abilities fit [PV-DA], and general PV fit) best fit the data. Providing ample evidence of construct validity, PO fit perceptions (PO-VC and PO-NS fit) were related to the organization-focused outcome of organizational identification, whereas the profession-focused outcome of occupational commitment was exclusively predicted by PV fit perceptions (PV-DA and general PV fit). As expected, both needs-supplies fit perceptions (PO-NS and PJ-NS fit) predicted intentions to quit and job satisfaction. Recommendations for future research are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between and among the degree of mistrust black students hold towards Whites, the students' preferences for race of counselor, and the discussion of problems that are sexual in nature. Participants consisted of 60 black females and 51 black males recruited from a university population. All subjects completed the Terrell and Terrell Cultural Mistrust Inventory, Fischer-Turner Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale, Corrigan and Schmidt Counselor Rating Form - Short Form, Tinsley Expectations About Counseling Inventory, and the Thermometer Method Form developed specifically for this project. A multiple regression model was used to explore the hypotheses of this study. The criterion variables consisted of scores on the Expectations About Counseling Form and Counselor Rating Form. Analyses revealed that the most significant predictors of counseling expectations were race of counselor and participant gender. Black students who were asked to assume \ they would see a black counselor had more favorable expectations about counseling than those black students asked to assume they would see a white counselor. Female participants had more favorable expectations about counseling than male participants. Results also indicated that the most significant predictors of counselor ratings were race of counselor and subject mistrust level. Those students asked to assume they would see a black counselor rated the potential counselor more favorably than those students who were asked to assume they would see a white counselor. Black students who scored higher on cultural mistrust rated potential white counselors less favorably than black students who scored lower on cultural mistrust.

The purpose of this study was to present and understand the experiences of HIV-positive lay counsellors working in Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) settings. Specifically exploring and understanding the utilisation of personal experiences within counselling encounters, the practice of peer counselling within VCT, and the challenges experienced by HIV-positive lay counsellors within VCT settings. This study, employing a qualitative interpretative phenomenological methodology required a small sample of practicing HIV-positive lay counsellors, who were selected and interviewed on their experiences utilising semi-structured interviewing. Data was analysed for meaning units, which were interpreted inductively and hermeneutically, and categorised into super-ordinate themes. Three superordinate themes within the participants’ experiences of providing VCT services were determined, namely: ‘diagnosis and disclosure experiences’, ‘peer counselling’, and ‘challenges’. This research found that the experiences of providing peer counselling depended upon identification with their client’s negative appraisal of their diagnosis experiences. Whether through empathic connections generated through the shared experience of discovering a seropositive status, or through countertransferential reactions induced through their client’s yearning for care and support. This required the counsellor to selfdisclose within counselling encounters in order to provide personal experiences of living with HIV/AIDS. Successful implementation of peer counselling provided recently diagnosed individuals with knowledge surrounding HIV/AIDS, coping skills to manage the daily physiological and psychological challenges, facilitation and adherence to treatment, social assistance, ongoing relationships, inspiring hope, and the creation of positive appraisals. However the informal utilisation of task-shifting within lay healthcare cadres, and the lack of governmental recognition for the emotional labour provided within VCT indicated that HIVpositive lay counsellors require ongoing training, support and remuneration to limit potential occupational stress, resignation, and burnout.

Full textAbstract:
Recent research in counselor training has focused on the difficulties and challenges facing counseling practitioners that result in high stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and counselor impairment. The American Counseling Association's (ACA) Code of Ethics has addressed the ethical issues inherent in counselor impairment. Further, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) has focused on the development of counselors that will assist them in being resilient to workplace stressors. Wellness is a theoretically based construct that holds much promise for bolstering the resilience of pre-service counselors. In addition, counselor self-efficacy has been linked to greater advocacy for self and others, the use of higher order counseling skills, greater problem solving practice, and more self-regulated, ethical decision making. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between counselor self-efficacy and counselor wellness. A total of 88 participants completed both the Five Factor Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle Inventory and the Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale. Demographic and descriptive statistics were included along with a Multiple Regression Analysis. Results did not indicate a statistically significant relationship. Potential limitations, implications for counselor educators, and future research directions were elucidated.<br>Ph.D.<br>Department of Child, Family and Community Sciences<br>Education<br>Education PhD

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Syftet med undersökningen är att beskriva och analysera finansieringsformen P2P-utlåning, dess bildande och utveckling samt utvärdera hur den har fungerat för små- och nyföretagare. Problemformulering: Studien undersöker hur finansieringsformen person-till-person-utlåning via Internet uppstod. Vidare redogörs för utvecklingen på P2P-plattformen Lending Club sedan låneförmedlingens start 2007 fram till 2011. Slutligen undersöks vad som kännetecknar låntagarna på Lending Club som ansöker om lån till små och nya företag samt hur de presterat gällande deras återbetalningsförmåga. Teoretiskt ramverk: Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgörs av framförallt vetenskapliga artiklar vilka behandlar det finansiella gapet, informations-asymmetrier och kreditbedömning. Vidare återges en bakgrunds-teckning över studier gjorda kring social utlåning och P2P-utlåning. Slutsatser: Studien kommer fram till att P2P-utlåning via Internet har sitt ursprung i social utlåning och möjliggjorts genom bland annat teknologisk utveckling av kreditvärderings-verktyg. Lending Clubs utveckling har gått från mer av ett socialt nätverk till att idag likna mer en finansiell intermediär med kreditvärdiga låntagare och institutionella investerare. Medlemmarna på Lending Club som lånar till små och nya företag kännetecknas av högre kreditvärdighet i jämförelse med övriga låntagare samtidigt som de presterar sämre i termer av återbetalningsförmåga.<br>Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze P2P lending, its formation and development and evaluate how it has worked for small businesses and start-ups. Problem statement: The study examines how person-to-person lending through the Internet has emerged. Furthermore, the study examines the development of the P2P platform Lending Club since its inception in 2007 until 2011. Finally, the study examines the characteristics of the borrowers at Lending Club who are applying for loans to small businesses and start-ups, as well as how they perform in terms of their ability to repay their loans. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework consists mainly of scientific articles regarding the financial gap, information asymmetries and credit rating. Furthermore, studies on social lending and P2P-lending are presented in a background chapter. Conclusions: The study concludes that P2P lending through the Internet has its origins in social lending and made possible by foremost technological development of rating tools. The development of Lending Club has shifted from more of a social network to more of a financial intermediary with creditworthy borrowers and institutional investors. Members on Lending Club that borrow to small businesses and start-ups are characterized by having a higher credit rating compared to other borrowers, while they perform less well in terms of ability to repay.

Mestrado em Engenharia de Computadores e Telemática<br>With the dawn of interactive Web Applications the face of the Web was changed forever. Web sites are no longer the lifeless, static pages of the past, thanks to Javascript they became full-fledged interactive applications, now competing with their desktop counterparts. Thus, for a privacy-oriented architecture proposed for service sharing, it was decided to design them as Web applications, naturally using Javascript. However, this language presents some serious security issues, and since the architecture should tolerate the inclusion of untrusted third-party Web applications, allowing an unconstrained use of Javascript in those applications is unacceptable. Since removing all Javascript is not an option when it comes to build interactive, modern, Web applications, we need somehow to use controlled Javascript. Many solutions were developed in the past that try to isolate trusted Javascript and sensitive information on a Web page with unstrusted Javascript. Our approach is different because we do not analyse existing Javascript code deployed within Web Applications, as others did. Instead, we completely filter out any Javascript used by our applications, and we use special annotations in Web pages to inject our own, risk-free Javascript code. Thus, we designed and developed a system able to parse certain keywords (or annotations) that translate into safe Javascript code, which allows us to have a complete control over the Javascript code running on an application plugged into this architecture. For asserting a minimum set of annotations necessary to build an appealing and reactive Web application, we developed three different applications that use them: a photo sharing gallery, a text chat and a voice chat.<br>Com o surgimento de aplicações Web interativas a Web mudou para sempre. Web sites passaram a ser mais que as páginas estáticas, sem vida dos tempos da Web 1.0. Graças à linguagem Javascript estas páginas tornaram-se aplicações interativas capazes de competir com os seus equivalentes em desktop. Faz sentido, portanto, numa arquitetura orientada a privacidade para partilha de serviços que estes sejam aplicações Web, naturalmente usando Javascript. No entanto esta linguagem apresenta alguns sérios riscos de segurança, e como esta arquitetura proposta dever´a tolerar a inclusão de aplicações Web third-party, permitir o uso de Javascript sem restrições é impraticável. Como remover todo o Javascript não é aceitável quando se pretende construir aplicações Web modernas e interativas, deverá ser usado, de alguma forma, Javascript controlado. Muitas soluções desenvolvidas no passado tentam isolar Javascript confiável e informação sensível numa página Web com Javascript não confiável. A nossa abordagem é diferente no sentido em que não há uma análise do código Javascript na aplicação Web em si, como outras soluções fizeram. Em vez disso, é feita uma filtragem completa de todo o Javascript usado nas nossas aplicações e usamos anotações especiais em páginas Web para injetar o nosso próprio Javascript seguro. Assim, desenhámos e desenvolvemos um sistema capaz de efetuar parsing de certas palavras-chave (ou anotações) que se traduzem em código Javascript seguro, que permite o controlo completo de todo o código Javascript a correr numa aplicação acoplada nesta arquitetura. Para acessar o número mínimo de anotações necessárias de forma a construir uma aplicação Web apelativa e reativa, desenvolvemos três aplicações diferentes que as usam: uma galeria de fotos, um chat por texto e um chat por voz.

Full textAbstract:
Communications over social media, telephone, email, text etc have emerged as an integral part of modern society and they are popularly used for the expression of anger, anxiety, fear, agitation and opinion by the people. People's social interaction tend to increase dramatically during periods of epidemics, protest and calamities. Therefore, above mentioned communication channels plays an important role in the spread of infectious phenomenon, like rumors, fads and effects. These infectious phenomena alters people's behavior during disease epidemic [1][2].
Social contact networks and epidemics co-evolve [1][2]. The spread of a disease influences people's behavior which in turn changes their social contact network, thereby altering the disease spread itself. As a result, there is a need for modeling the spread of these infectious phenomena that lead to changes in behavior. Their propagation among population primarily depends on the social contact network. The nature of social contagion spread is very similar to the spread of any infectious disease as they are contagious in nature. To spread contagious disease requires direct exposure to an infectious agent, whereas social contagions can be spread using various communications media like social networking forums, phones, emails and tweets.
EpiSimdemics is an individual-based modeling environment. It uses a people-location bipartite graph as the underlying network [3]. In its current form, EpiSimdemics requires two people to interact at a location to model simulations. Thus, it cannot simulate the spread of social contagions that do not necessarily require the meeting of two agents at a location.
We enhance EpiSimdemics by incorporating Person-Person network, which can model communications between people that are not contact based such as communications over email, phone, text and tweet. This Person-Person network is used to model effects (social contagion) which induce behavioral changes in population and thus impacting the disease spread. The disease spread is modeled on Person-Location network. This leads to the scenario of two interacting networks: Person-Person network modeling social contagion and Person-Location modeling disease. Theoretically, there can be multiple such networks modeling various interacting phenomena.
We demonstrate the usefulness of this network by modeling and simulating two interacting PTTSs (probabilistic timed transition systems). To model disease epidemics, we have defined Disease Model and to model effects (social contagion), we have defined Fear Model. We show how these models influence each other by performing simulations on EpiSimdemics with interacting Disease and Fear Model. Therefore a model that does not include the affect adaptations on disease epidemics and vice-versa, fails to reflect the actual behavior of a society during disease epidemic spread. The addition of Person-Person network to EpiSimdemics will allow for a better understanding of the affect adaptions, which can include behavior changes in society during an epidemic outbreak. This would lead to effective interventions and help to better understand the dynamics of disease epidemic.<br>Master of Science
