Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine personality factors related to adult divorce adjustment with a particular focus on anxiety, self esteem and locus of control.;Bowen Theory, with particular emphasis on the concept of differentiation of self, provided the theoretical rationale for this study. While Bowen related his concepts to marital and family functioning, the theory did not address the process of divorce. The present study attempted to fill a gap in the divorce literature by expanding Bowen Theory, with a primary investigative focus on adult post divorce adjustment and level of differentiation.;All 62 research subjects completed instrument packets which included a consent form, a demographic questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Tennessee Self Concept Scale, the Rotter Internal-External Scale, The Blair Divorce Adjustment Inventory (modified version), and the Haber Level of Differentiation of Self Scale.;Data from the participants included a sample of 26 men and 36 women. A large percentage of the subjects were 20-39 years of age (67.5%), of middle class status (59%), had marriages which tended to last a duration of less than 10 years (66%), and had children under the age of 18 (46.7%). The results from the instruments indicated a sample who were internally directed, had a moderate level of self concept, and a low level of both State and Trait anxiety. When the variables of divorce adjustment and level of differentiation were computed, the results indicated that the sample exhibited high levels of differentiation and moderate to strong levels of divorce adjustment.;The Tennessee Self Concept Scale exhibited the strongest correlation coefficient when measured with both the Blair Divorce Adjustment Inventory (58%) and the Haber Level of Differentiation of Self Scale (51%). Step-wise analysis indicated that both the Tennessee with a t-ratio of 2.220 and a p-value of.030, and the Trait level of anxiety, with a t-value of {dollar}-{dollar}2.156 and a p-value of.035 resulted in high predictive values with the Blair. When the personality variables were computed with the Level of Differentiation Scale, the results were similar to the Blair analysis. The Tennessee obtained the strongest predictive value. as with divorce adjustment, self concept was the strongest predictor of level of differentiation. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Abstract:
Locus of control och självkänsla En jämförelse mellan elit- och icke elitidrottare Helén Blomstrand Besitter individen en hög inre locus of control anser denne att individen själv är ansvarig för valen denne gör i livet, medan en hög yttre locus of control innebär det motsatta. Syftet med studien var bland annat att se om elit- och icke elitidrottare skiljde sig gällande locus of control; får elitidrottarna högre förvärvade än traitbaserade inre attityder gällande självkänsla och locus of control, än icke elitidrottare, har locus of control samband med självkänsla. En enkätundersökning genomfördes på 82 idrottare varav 42 elitidrottare. Resultatet visade att elitidrottarna uppvisade signifikant högre resultat gällande inre locus of control än icke elitidrottarna samt att det fanns könsskillnader då männen uppvisade högre värden gällande en inre work locus of control. Resultatet indikerar även att bassjälvkänsla har ett positivt samband med locus of control. Diskussionen fördes kring om en högre inre locus of control leder till bättre idrottsliga resultat samt kritisk granskning av gällande uppsats.

Abstract:
Negative cultural attitudes towards the menstrual cycle have psychological consequences for women. The menstrual cycle in our society is devalued in public discourse and public regard, in which it is viewed as an uncontrollable, painful, and mysterious curse upon womankind. Internalization of these messages may negatively impact women’s self-esteem because of menstruation’s quintessential association with womanhood. Women’s lack of accurate, practical knowledge about the menstrual cycle may be a large contributor to these negative attitudes. The purpose of this proposed research is to investigate whether performing fertility awareness, a daily practice of observing fertility signs to determine the phases in a woman’s menstrual cycle, can increase self-esteem in college-aged women. The study measures perceived control, self-efficacy, and self-esteem in women before and after learning and practicing fertility awareness, as well as comparing those scores to a control group. It is proposed that practicing fertility awareness increases women’s self-esteem and self-efficacy by providing them with perceived control over their reproductive health. Implications for educational imperatives and future research are discussed.

Abstract:
The study's purpose is evaluating the relationship between locus of control and selfesteem in relation to the registered nurse's experience and perception with lateral and vertical incivility. There is a lack of research concerning nurse-to-nurse incivility within the nursing profession. The hypothesis examined whether dynamics of locus of control and self-esteem could provide insight into the personality dynamics influencing incivility in the workplace. This non-experimental quantitative study used 2 self-evaluation tools and 1 demographic survey tool to collect data via Survey Monkey, a commercial data collection company. Participants were 65 randomly selected faculty (n = 36) and graduate students (n = 29) from schools of nursing in Southern California, all active practitioners. Descriptive statistics provided the demographic data and RNs' experience of incivility analysis. Inferential statistics, t-test, and Pearson's correlation analyzed the relationships between study variables. Study results indicated no significant negative relationship between RNs' perceived experience with lateral and vertical incivility, and RNs' level of self-esteem and locus of control. Participants indicated a greater than 80% experience with incivility in the work place either directed at the participant or towards a colleague. The study results will be of interest to health provider managers as a means of insight into the pervasiveness of incivility in the workforce. The study indicated the problem of professional incivility is widely encountered, it rules out the hypotheses that self-esteem and locus of control are related to the problem, and it encourages the need for further study as to the etiology and dynamics of the problem.

Abstract:
This study investigates self-esteem and locus of control in a cross-cultural context, comparing British and Turkish students. Sex differences are also considered. The relationship between academic achievement and the personality variables of self-esteem and locus of control is also examined. The sample consisted of year-11 secondary school students. 190 were British and 315 were Turkish. In order to collect data, the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI), the Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Control Scale and the Crandall et al. Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Scale (IAR) were used. The findings of this study indicated that English subjects had higher self-esteem scores than the Turkish subjects. The results also showed that cultural differences were bigger among males than among females. The results reveal no sex differences when both the English and the Turkish samples were combined. However, among English subjects, the males had significantly higher self-esteem scores than their female counterparts, while no sex differences existed between Turkish males and females. Cross-cultural comparisons of global locus of control between English and Turkish cultures showed that there was no significant difference between English and Turkish subjects. Furthermore, the results also indicated that English males were significantly more internal than English females, whereas Turkish males and females did not differ. The data also indicated that English and Turkish students did not differ in academic locus of control. When the English and the Turkish males and females were compared, the results showed that there were no significant differences between English and Turkish females but English males were more internal than the Turkish males. Furthermore, the results also indicated that Turkish females were more internal than Turkish males, whereas, English males and females did not significantly differ. When the relationships between self-esteem and academic achievement were investigated, the data indicated that most of the self-esteem scales related significantly with academic achievement for the English and the Turkish samples. However the majority of the correlation coefficients were classified as moderate or low for the English sample as well as for the Turkish. The study also revealed that both the global and the academic locus of control scales were significantly correlated with the academic achievement (GPA) for both of the English and Turkish samples. Achievement also had a stronger relationship with global locus of control than the academic locus of control for both the English and the Turkish samples. In order to find out the best predictor of achievement, multiple regression analyses were carried out using the Stepwise procedure. Regression analyses, using academic achievement (GPA) scores as the criterion variable, found the Academic Self-Esteem variable as the best independent variable to predict achievement for both English and Turkish groups. However, together with the other independent variables, they accounted for only 19% of the variance in achievement for the English group and 13% of the variance for the Turkish group.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Associations have been found between diabetes status and periodontal diseases and dental caries. In addition to biological explanations, psychological features can be proposed to affect the relations between oral health and IDDM (=insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus). The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychological features characterizing oral hygiene practices, dental visiting and diabetes self-care. The research population consisted of 149 IDDM patients, and cross-sectional data were collected by a quantitative questionnaire, in clinical examinations and from patient records. There was a positive correlation between the sum scores for dental self-efficacy and diabetes self-efficacy and, correspondingly, between the dental and diabetes locus of control beliefs. High self-esteem was found to associate with good adherence to some specific health behaviors, such as tooth brushing, exercising and insulin adjustment. When Weiner's attribution theory was used, there were similarities in the causal thinking in oral and diabetes view. All in all, especially the perception of self-efficacy was found to be a powerful feature characterizing health behavior. There were overlapping relations showing an association of high dental self-efficacy with good diabetes adherence, of high diabetes self-efficacy with frequent dental visiting, and of good metabolic control with high tooth brushing self-efficacy, frequent tooth brushing and low plaque level. On the basis of these results, enhancement of self-efficacy appears important. These results suggest that there might, indeed, be some common psychological features for both oral health behavior and diabetes self-care. These could partly explain the relations between diabetes status and periodontal diseases and dental caries. The results can be utilized in patient-centered health education by identifying and enhancing the psychological features that characterize health behavior and health status. The results emphasize the need for co-operation between dental and diabetes health care professionals in their daily practice.

Abstract:
This descriptive correlational study was designed to increase the knowledge needed to understand the relationship among health-related variables that facilitate or sustain health-promoting behaviours of midlife women. Specifically, this study investigated the relationship among self-esteem, health locus of control, and health-promoting behaviours of women in this age group. Pender's (1982) original Health Promotion Model provided the theoretical framework to structure this study. The sample included 84 midlife women volunteers who were current or prospective members of a Vancouver-based social networking group for mature women. Data were collected using the Rosenberg (1965) Self-Esteem Scale, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale -Form A, and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's product-moment correlations, and stepwise multiple regression. Three significant predictors, self-esteem, chance health locus of control, and powerful others health locus of control, explained 24.5% of the variance for engaging in health-promoting behaviours. The study findings supported Pender's Model which postulated that individual perceptions of self-esteem and health locus of control, among other personal factors, influence one's likelihood of engaging in health-promoting behaviours. The findings also supported Pender's contention that selected demographic variables, as modifying variables, have an impact on health-promoting behaviours.

Abstract:
The major problems that this study adressed were, the identification of which predictor variables account for a significant proportion of the variance in the criterion variable sexual satisfaction, as well as the group differences on the sexual satisfaction, marital satisfaction, locus of control, and self-esteem. In the current study, a sample which was composed of 200 married persons was investigated. Results revealed that, gender, education level, and interaction of these variables differentiated the groups on both the sexual satisfaction and marital satisfaction. However, only the main effect of education level differentiated the groups on the locus of control. Additionally, gender and education level differentiated the groups on the self-esteem. Marital satisfaction, locus of control, self-esteem, length of marriage, intercourse frequency and orgasm frequency significantly predicted the sexual satisfaction. Findings of the present study were discussed in the light of the relevant literature.

Abstract:
The period of adolescence is a time of transition characterised by a number of cognitive, social and psychological changes. Theories of adolescence have emphasised the importance of the context of development and a number of personal traits and characteristics have been found to influence an individual's susceptibility to developing mental health problems. Attachment theory has outlined the importance of a secure attachment between parent and child in the healthy development of a child. Individuals and their parents continue to influence each other into adolescence and investigation have linked various styles of parenting to later psychological problems by examining how individuals recall their early relations with their parents. Quality of parenting style has been shown to have an effect on alter psychological functioning and studies in adolescents have looked at the correlation between parenting style and psychopathology (Burbach et al 1989, Waite et al 1994). However other personal factors, including sense of self, sense of control and affect underlie the development of many problems in adolescent populations. This study aimed to investigate the associations between perceptions of the quality of parenting styles and various measures of psychological characteristics in a normative sample of adolescents, aged between sixteen and eighteen years, recruited from a local high school. It was hypothesised that adolescents' perceptions of their parents would be related to their self-esteem, locus of control and affect. The relationship between parental bonding and these three measures were examined and the results were discussed in reference to previous research findings.

Resultatet visade att alla variablerna hade signifikant negativ korrelation med upplevd stress. Ju högre nivå på variablerna desto mindre stressade var studenterna. De kvinnliga studenterna var mer stressade än de manliga. Resultatet visade även genom multiple regression att self-efficacy var den variabel som var viktigast för att hantera stress inför en examination, näst viktigast var KASAM. Slutsatsen blev att dessa variabler hade en avgörande inbördes relation när det gäller graden av upplevd stress inför en examination.

Abstract:
Social anxiety is an excessive fear of social situations characterised by negative beliefs about one's performance in social situations and an exaggerated perception of the potential for catastrophic outcomes, e.g. negative judgements by others, humiliation, and loss of self-worth (Clark & Wells, 1995). People with social anxiety report experiencing their parents as emotionally cold, controlling or intrusive, and as using criticism or shame when disciplining them (Harvey, Ehlers & Clark, 2005; Leung, Heimberg, Holt & Bruch, 1994; Rapee & Melville, 1997). Social anxiety may be conceptualised from an attachment perspective particularly as interpersonal relationships are fundamental to both, and the experiences of being parented reported by people with social anxiety, may predispose individuals to developing an insecure attachment style. Self-esteem and locus of control are related to both social anxiety and attachment, and therefore may be important to both of these. The following study was conducted to examine the relationship between adult attachment and social anxiety, using an interview measure of attachment (ASI; Bifulco, Lillie, Ball & Moran, 1998). Thirty adults, recruited from a university and social anxiety support groups were screened for a high threshold of symptoms, of social anxiety. Participants completed self-report questionnaires for anxiety, self-esteem and locus of control, and were interviewed. The study found that this socially anxious group had a predominately insecure attachment style, and more specifically fearful and anxious classifications. Individuals with an insecure attachment style were not found to be significantly more socially anxious, though those with a fearful style and an anxious attachment classification were significantly more socially anxious. Social anxiety was significantly related to low self-esteem but not to locus of control. Finally individuals with an insecure attachment style did not report significantly lower self-esteem or external locus of control. The results are discussed in the context of attachment theory and cognitive models of social anxiety. Suggestions are made with regards to the development of existing treatment approaches for social anxiety, incorporating attachment components.

Abstract:
This study will examine how domestic violence manifests differently across socioeconomic status, and how these manifestations affect a victim’s self-esteem, self-efficacy, and locus of control. Participants in this study will be female victims of domestic violence over the age of 18 who reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, and who are also members of domestic violence support groups. Participants will complete a survey that includes questions about self-esteem, self-efficacy, and locus of control, in addition to a domestic violence assessment that includes questions about financial and emotional abuse, and barriers that they may face in receiving the support they need. Results will highlight the different ways that domestic violence manifests across SES, and indicate that affluent women have lower levels of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and a more external locus of control than their low-income counterparts. This is mainly due to the perception that domestic violence doesn’t occur in affluent communities, and thus the distribution of resources is skewed, leading to increased shame and isolation. This information will hopefully provide a foundation for developing programs that seek to provide support for affluent victims of domestic violence.

Abstract:
Organisations all over the world have attempted to decrease at–risk behaviour by targeting at–risk acts, exclusive of safe acts, and using corrective feedback, reprimands, or disciplinary actions to motivate behaviour change. Research has shown that this approach was useful but did not improve since it was a reactive approach and not proactive. In an attempt to stem the tide of safety related incidence they have implemented Behaviour–based Safety. However, as is the case with other initiatives, this one also showed early results but started to plateau towards to end. Aside from safety behaviour, demographic variables and constructs such as sense of Self–esteem, Self–efficacy and Work Locus of Control have a direct effect on the associated safety behaviour of employees. These styles may either be effective or ineffective, or have a direct impact on the demonstrated safety behaviour within the petrochemical company. The purpose of this research study was to determine the possible relationship between individual characteristics, specifically Self–esteem, Self–efficacy and Work Locus of Control, and safety behaviour. A convenience survey design was used. The sample of 201 represented managers, supervisors and employees in a petrochemical company. A battery of four questionnaires were utilised, namely Self–esteem, the Generalised Perceived Self–efficacy Scale (GPSES), the Work Locus of Control Scale (WLOC) and a Safety Behaviour scale specifically designed for this study. In this research study, individual characteristics and safety behaviour is conceptualised. Individuals with a high self–esteem may have an accurate, justified, balanced appreciation of their worth or value as a person and their successes and competencies. Self–efficacy can be conceptualised as a general, stable trait, which relates to individuals' beliefs regarding the ability to mobilise their motivation, cognitive resources and actions to comply with demands from a situation. In respect of locus of control it refers to individuals' beliefs regarding their behaviour and the outcomes thereof. Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that outcomes in their lives are the result of their own internal attributes, as opposed to individuals with an external locus of control who believe that outcomes in their lives are beyond their control. Cronbach alpha coefficients and factor analysis were used to determine the reliability and validity of the tests. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, skewness and kurtosis) were used in the compiling of the profile of safety behaviour and individual characteristics as manifested in the group. In summary, results of the present study indicate that Self–esteem, Work Locus of Control, and Generalised Self–efficacy are significant predictors of safety behaviour. However, there is much to be known about the exact nature of the traits (whether or not these are indicators of the broader core self–evaluations construct) and the processes by which they affect these outcomes. In light of the similar correlations of the traits with satisfaction and performance observed here, and the high correlations among the traits, future research considering these traits together appears warranted. Recommendations for further research were made, as well as recommendations with regard to the company concerned.

Andelen individer med eftergymnasial utbildning ökar på arbetsmarknaden samtidigt som antalet arbetstillfällen inom vissa akademiska yrken inte ökar i samma takt. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka om förekomsten av oro bland högskolestudenter inför eventuell arbetslöshet hade något samband med självkänsla och kontrollupplevelse. Studien avsåg även att undersöka huruvida tidpunkt för avslutad utbildning och utbildningsinriktning hade någon betydelse för studenternas nivå av oro. En enkätundersökning med 101 deltagare mellan 19 och 59 år genomfördes. Resultatet visade att det fanns en signifikant skillnad i orosnivån mellan studenter när det gällde hur lång tid de hade kvar på sin utbildning. Studenter med längre studietid kvar oroade sig mindre. Denna undersökning kan hjälpa till att belysa studenters oro inför en allt hårdare arbetsmarknad.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Health Locus of Control, Exercise habits, Food habits and Self-esteem (Personal self and Physical self) between two groups of student teachers at a university in the south of Sweden. Is health such as exercise, eating and self-esteem something that is controlled by internal or external factors? Student teachers that participated in Physical and Health programme and student teachers that participeted in other programme were investigeted. The participants (N = 160) answered the questionnaire. The Health Locus of Control scale and Tennessee Self-Concept Scale were used. A form was constructed to measure the students exercise habits and food habits. The study showed differences between the two groups of student teachers concerning Internal HLoC and Exercise habits. A positive tendency concerning Phycial self was also found. The results showed that there were positive correlations between the variables Health Locus of Control, Exercise habits, Food habits, Personal self and Physical self. Negative correlations were also found, between the variables Health Locus of Control and Physicals self. The study showed that the programme a student was participating in, only could explain a students Exercise habits. The result also showed that a students Food habits only could be explained by how the student think of their body and their appearance.

The purpose of this study was to examine how work locus of control and self-esteem relate to job satisfaction. Quantitative data were collected through an online questionnaire. The study included 126 participants who filled out the Short Index of Job Satisfaction, Work Locus of Control Scale and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale. It was hypothesized that work locus of control and self-esteem would be related to job satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis showed strong relations between the variables. Work locus of control and self-esteem explained 23 % of the variance in job satisfaction, which suggests that other variables also affect job satisfaction. The result from the study was consistent with previous research indicating that internal work locus of control and self-esteem predict job satisfaction. Future research is needed to investigate how individuals’ internal locus of control and self-esteem at the workplace could be increased.
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur work locus of control och självkänsla relaterar till arbetstrivsel. Datainsamlingen utfördes kvantitativt genom användandet av ett självskattningsformulär. Studien omfattade totalt 126 deltagare som fyllde i Short Index of Job Satisfaction, Work Locus of Control Scale och Rosenbergs Self-Esteem Scale. Studiens hypoteser var att både work locus of control och självkänsla skulle relatera till arbetstrivsel. Resultatet från den multipla regressionsanalysen påvisade att arbetstrivsel har ett starkt samband med de undersökta variablerna. Work locus of control och självkänsla förklarade variationen i arbetstrivsel med ungefär 23 procent, vilket pekar på att även andra variabler kan påverka arbetstrivsel. Resultatet från denna studie var konsistent med tidigare forskning som indikerar att inre work locus of control och självkänsla predicerar arbetstrivsel. I framtida forskning hade det varit intressant att undersöka vad som ökar individers inre locus of control och självkänsla på arbetsplatsen.

Abstract:
This study explored a proposed framework for understanding teacher development using psychosocial developmental status as its core. To test the proposed framework, the study investigated correlations related to (a) evaluation of the framework linking indicators of psychosocial developmental status to indicators of teacher development; (b) validation of the Measures of Psychosocial Development inventory; and (c) replication of previous research involving constructs thought to be related to teacher development. Psychosocial developmental status was measured using Measures of Psychosocial Development and global self-esteem using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale . Teacher locus of control was measured using the Locus of Control Scale for Teachers and teacher efficacy using the Teacher Efficacy Scale . In general, the results supported the proposed framework. A strong relationship was found between the total psychosocial resolution score and global self-esteem. Moderate relationships were found between (a) the total psychosocial resolution scores and teacher efficacy; (b) the total positive psychosocial scores and teacher efficacy; (c) the total positive psychosocial scores and teacher locus of control; (d) the total positive psychosocial scores and global self-esteem; (e) the total negative psychosocial scores and global self-esteem; and (f) teacher locus of control and teacher efficacy. Significant, but weak relationships were found between (a) the total psychosocial resolution scores and teacher locus of control; (b) the total negative psychosocial scores and teacher locus of control; (c) the total negative psychosocial scores and teacher efficacy, and (d) global self-esteem and teacher efficacy. The inclusion of age and years of teaching experience as variables in the model were not supported. Age did not correlate significantly with the total psychosocial resolution scores. Years of teaching experience did not correlate significantly with the total psychosocial resolution scores, the total positive psychosocial scores, the total negative psychosocial scores, the total negative psychosocial scores, global self-esteem, teacher locus of control, or teacher efficacy. It is recommended that subsequent research continue to focus on the use of psychosocial developmental theory as a basis for studying teacher development within the context of the proposed framework. Research is needed to determine how additional constructs might inform the proposed framework of teacher development.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the research project reported below, the researcher investigates the shortterm effect. of a life skills program, Free to Grow, on the self-concept and locus of control of juvenile offenders in the Allandale-prison, by means of the following questionnaires: the Greeff Self-concept Questionnaire, the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children and the Desired-Undesired Eve.nts Locus of Control Scale. The life skills program is based on experiential learning principles and focusses on self-development and the acquisition of a wide spectrum of social skills. The 21 subjects participating in the project were divided into two groups: The experimental group consisting of 11 subjects participated in the program over a two week-period for altogether 32 hours, while the remaining 10 subjects formed the control group. The most important findings of the study were that the program participants' self-concept showed no statiscally meaningful improvement, but their locus of control as measured by the Nowicki Strickland Locus of Control Scale for children, made a statistically meaningful internal shift. The study concludes with important recommendations for follow-up studies.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die onderstaande studie is die korttermyneffek van 'n lewensvaardigheidsprogram, Free to Grow, op die selfkonsep en lokus van kontrole van jeugoortreders in die Allandale-gevangenis ondersoek met behulp van die volgende vraelyste: die Greeffselfkonsepvraelys, die Nowicki-Strickland Lokus van Kontrole Skaal vir Kinders en die Wenslike en Onwenslike Gebeurtenisse Lokus van Kontrole Skaal. Die program is gebaseer op eksperensiële leerbeginsels en fokus op selfontwikkeling en die aanleer van 'n wye spektrum van sosiale vaardighede. Die 21 subjekte wat aan die projek deelgeneem het, is in twee groepe verdeel: Die eksperimentele groep bestaande uit 11 subjekte het oor 'n periode van twee weke vir altesaam 32 uur die program deurloop, terwyl die oorblywende 10 subjekte die kontrolegroep gevorm het. Die belangrikste bevindings van die studie was dat die programdeelnemers se selfkonsep nie statisties betekenisvol verbeter het nie, maar dat hulle lokus van kontrole, soos gemeet deur die Nowicki-Strickland Lokus van Kontrole Skaal vir Kinders, wel statisties beduidend meer intern geword het na afloop van die program. Die studie word afgesluit met belangrike aanbevelings vir opvolgstudies.

Abstract:
The most commonly cited reason for dropping-out of a college program is financial issues (Johnson, Rochkind, Ott, & DuPont, 2009). While some financial issues may be related to access to financial resources, others may be related to how college students respond to financial stress. Boss’ (2002) model of family stress (Figure 1) noted the ability to cope with a crisis is influenced by available resources and perception of an event. This framework suggests the amount of financial distress perceived by young adults is influenced by available resources (e.g., parental support or financial knowledge), and internal (psychological) factors, such as self-esteem and locus of control (Boss, 2002). It is hypothesized that perceived financial well-being (perceived outlook of their financial situation), the level of control students have (e.g., locus of control) and how they perceive themselves (e.g., self-esteem) will influence perceived financial distress (ability to manage finances and education), above and beyond, and financial knowledge. To conduct the analysis, a convenience sample of 612 undergraduate college students from a Southeastern University were surveyed to determine whether their financial knowledge (i.e. credit and debit, savings, taxes, and insurance knowledge), perceived financial well-being, self-esteem and locus of control had an effect on financial distress. The results of a multiple linear regression revealed respondents’ well-being (β = .61, p < .01) and locus of control (β = .18, p < .01) are significant indicators of financial distress among college students. Specifically, for every one point increase in financial well-being, financial stress decreases by .69 points (b = -0.69, p < .01) and for every one point increase in locus of control (suggesting an increase in external locus of control), financial stress increases by .21 points (b = 0.21, p < .01). Furthermore, financial knowledge and self-esteem was not significantly related to financial stress among college students (β = -0.04, p = .11, and β = -0.10, p = .02 respectively). As such, college student’s financial distress is lower when students possess a positive outlook on their financial well-being, have an internal locus of control, and have high self-esteem. Financial knowledge had less influence on financial distress, but this finding may be a product of the level of financial knowledge among college students.

Abstract:
This study aimed at determining the prevalence rate of bullying and victimization among middle school students and investigating the role of locus of control, self-esteem, parenting style, loneliness, and academic achievement in predicting participation in bullying and victimization. The sample consisted of 742 participants recruited from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Results revealed that of the total 742 students: 4.6 % of the students were bullies, 21.3 % were victims, 6.5 % were bully/victims, 44.7% were pure not involved and 22.9 % were not involved. Regarding the types of bullying, the most common bullying behavior used by the bullies and experienced by the victims was verbal bullying. When gender and grade level were investigated in relation to bullying, meaningful gender differences were found. However, no significant grade level differences were found. The binary logistic regression analysis indicated that
female students who involved in bullying had low acceptance/involvement and academic achievement scores, but higher loneliness and psychological autonomy scores. Furthermore, male involved students had external locus of control, higher self-esteem, and loneliness scores, and lower strictness/supervision scores. Logistic regression analysis also revealed external locus of control and higher loneliness scores
but lower acceptance/involvement and academic achievement scores among the victim group.

Abstract:
Emotional and behavioural problems in childhood embrace an array of disorders ranging from depression, anxiety and chronic shyness to non-compliance, impulsiveness, stealing and aggression. Achenbach (1991) proposed a dimensional approach to conceptualising children's problems. The first dimension, consisting of emotional behaviours such as crying, worrying and withdrawal has been given the broad label of internalising disorders. These disorders are most acutely troublesome for the child rather than their parents, carers or teachers. The second dimension, which targets dysregulated behaviours, such as aggressive and delinquent conduct problems, has been broadly labelled externalising disorders; these often reflect a greater cost and challenge for society at large. Psychological problems in children rarely occur in isolation; for example, a child with externalising behavioural problems may also suffer from depression and low self-esteem. In clinic studies, about 25 per cent of referrals suffer from clinical depression (Carr, 1999). In a review of the major epidemiological studies, Anderson (1994) concluded that the overall prevalence for anxiety disorders in children and adolescents is 2-9 per cent. Research also suggests that 50 per cent of children diagnosed as depressed are also anxious and that 25 per cent of children diagnosed with anxiety disorders are also depressed (Smith, 1999). The expression and presentation of psychological difficulties in childhood can be varied and assessment does not always uncover the underlying features of psychological problems in children. Nevertheless, standardised measures of self-report can be useful and valid tools for assessing a child's own psychological experience. By tapping into specific areas of concern or difficulty for the child and offering the clinician an improved understanding of the child's inner emotional world these tools can make a valuable contribution to the overall therapeutic process.

Abstract:
Native American adolescents tend to have problems within the educational system of the majority culture. Manpower programs such as the Job Corps Program have been developed in an attempt to provide remedial training for Native Americans and other groups who experience similar problems. The effects of training have been hard to determine in the past, due to confounding effects of history and other factors involved in trainee's personal lives. The current study surveyed the biographical, social and personal histories of 104 Native American male adolescents, and 46 Native American female adolescents in an attempt to develop predictors of success or failure in a Job Corps Program for Native American youth. It was found that family factors and present circumstances had the greatest effect on success or failure in the program. Few differences were found between male and female subjects, partly due to the small sample sizes involved.

Abstract:
The present study investigates to what extent the life events, which includes self-perceived health, self-esteem, internal locus of control and coping effectiveness as indicators, could explain the occurrence of positive affect and depression amongst these elderly persons. The relationships between life events, self-esteem-level, internal locus of control, coping effectiveness, and psychological well-being among older persons (aged 60 or above) in Hong Kong are examined. Eight pilot study cases have been carried out in order to test for the validity of the research instrument. One hundred and three elderly respondents were successfully interviewed face-to-face from three main estates in Tseung Kwan O district, a new-town area in Eastern New Territories in Hong Kong: Po Lam Estate1 (N = 46), Tsui Lam Estate (N = 36), and King Lam Estate (N = 21). In exploring the life events of respondents over the half year past, a checklist (23 life items) was used. These items covered most of the events which are commonly found in an elderly cohort. In exploring the psychological well-being of the respondents, concepts were operationalized into 14 questions (9 items for positive affect and 5 items for depression), which were devised by Lawton (1987), to cover two constructs (i.e. positive affect and depression). The reliability for positive affect reached 0.91 (alpha), for depression reached 0.90 (alpha). Self-esteem levels of the respondents were measured by using the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (alpha = 0.84). Locus of control (9 items) was measured by an instrument devised by Siu (1998) and the reliability was 0.87 (alpha). Respondents’ coping effectiveness was assessed by an instrument (13 items) which was originally developed by Moos, Cronkite, Billings and Finney (1996) and modified by the researcher for the present study. The instrument covered four constructs (i.e. problem focus, avoidance, positive appraisal and emotional discharge) and their reliabilities ranged from 0.39 to 0.47 (alpha). The results of the study show that the average life events score of the respondents was 84.66 with the standard deviation 55.50, which means that generally they are at low stress level due to the occurrence of life events. Age-associated change in subjective health was very small in the study. Respondents showed a positive sense of personal worth and have medium level of internal locus of control. They tended to use more positive coping strategies to solve their problem, but the use of those coping strategies was not frequent. With regards to coping effectiveness, the study shows that there are gender differences. Female respondents thought that being more objective to problems did not help to solve them, whereas male respondents tended to think that emotion-focused coping strategies did not help to solve problems. Moreover, respondents showed both low level of positive affect and depression. No significant correlation has been found between life events and positive affect, but there is significant correlation between life events and depression. The study supports previous researches that show self-perceived health, self-esteem, and internality are significantly correlated with psychological well-being. However, only few coping strategies USE/HELP and coping effectiveness are partially correlated with psychological well-being. There are some intervening effects of self-esteem and internal locus of control found in the relationship between life events and psychological well-being. However, no intervening effect of coping strategies USE has been found in such a relationship, and only avoidance coping effectiveness showed a intervening (moderating) effect on the relationship between life events and positive affect. No intervening effect was found in the life events-psychological well-being model. However, some coping USE and effectiveness showed intervening (mediating) effects in the self-esteem-psychological well-being model and internality-psychological well-being model. Further studies are necessary to enforce the roles of the main variables in the proposed framework.

Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation was to describe patterns of physical self-efficacy and touch communication attitudes, by gender. The understanding of these two cognitive measures may contribute to the foundation for explaining the dynamics of physical, social, and emotional wellness or at least contribute to the current literature and serve as a guide for future research. Two undergraduate health science classes, consisting of 130 males and 158 females, were surveyed with a combined instrument that measured physical self-efficacy, using the Physical Self-Efficacy Inventory developed by Ryckman and colleagues (1982), and touch communication, using the TACTYPE instrument developed by Hines (1978). A secondary purpose of this study was to describe the subscale relationships between the two aforementioned instruments. Frequency tables and summary statistics were computed to describe physical self-efficacy and touch communication total scores. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to describe subscale relationships. A gender difference for total physical self-efficacy was noted. In addition, some significant, but relatively weak, correlations were described between the two instruments' subscales. This writing includes: (a) An introduction, (b) a literature review that introduces wellness, explains physical self-efficacy and touch communication, and describes their relationship to health, (c) a synopsis of the research method, (d) a descriptive report of the findings, and (e) a summary with discussion, conclusions and recommendations for future study.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Marketing
O constante aumento da formação académica da população e a cada vez menor oferta de emprego do mercado de trabalho, têm vindo a fazer com que os níveis de competitividade em contexto de procura de emprego tenham atingido hoje níveis bastante elevados. Assim, é cada vez mais natural que uma pessoa que esteja à procura de um emprego sinta uma maior necessidade de se preparar para esta procura, por forma a destacar-se dos demais. Apercebendo-nos desta tendência, surgiu-nos o interesse de estudar qual o papel do Marketing Pessoal neste contexto competitivo de procura de emprego. O principal objetivo desta dissertação, é então perceber qual o impacto de algumas características de personalidade (Autoestima, Proatividade e Locus de Controle), do perfil sociodemográfico da pessoa (Género, Idade e Situação de Emprego) e de algumas atitudes de procura de emprego (Indecisão de Carreira e Autoeficácia na procura de emprego) na forma como cada um trabalha o seu Marketing Pessoal em contexto de procura de emprego. Com este estudo, concluímos que as características de personalidade (Locus de Controle e Autoestima), o perfil sociodemográfico da pessoa (Idade, Género e Situação de emprego) e as atitudes de procura de emprego (Autoeficácia na Procura de Emprego e Indecisão de Carreira) influenciam a foram e a frequência como cada pessoa pratica o seu Marketing Pessoal.
The constant increase of the academic population and the decrease of jobs offer heightened the levels of competitiveness in the labor market. As a result, is ever more common for individuals in search of employment to feel the need to make themselves standout from their competition. Awareness of this new tendency sparked in us the interest to understand the role of Self Marketing in the currently extremely competitive job search world. The main goal of this dissertation is to understand the impact of some personality characteristics (self-esteem, proactivity and Locus of Control), the demographic profile of the individual (gender, age, Job Status) and the Job Search Attitudes (Career Indecision e Job Search Self-efficacy), related to the management of Self Marketing in a job search context. With this study we can conclude that the personality characteristics (Locus of Control and Self-esteem), the demographic profile of the individual (age, gender and Job Status) and the Job Search Attitudes (Job Search Self-Efficacy and Career Indecision) influences the shape and frequency how each person practices his/her Personal Marketing.
