Abstract:
The Attitude toward Catholicism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam scales were adapted for this study into a single scale that measures overall attitudes towards religion. The resulting Attitude toward Religion (ATR) Scale was adapted into both Spanish and Chinese and administered in Mexico (n = 265), Nicaragua (n = 296), and China (n = 460) to a total of 1,021 individuals (59% women, 41% men; Mage = 22.4 years, SD = 7.01 years). The scale’s structural equivalence (i.e. Does the instrument measure the same construct in each country?) was assessed using Exploratory Factor Analyses and pairwise comparisons. Strong evidence for structural equivalence was provided by the analyses’ results, as we obtained a one-dimensional solution (labeled Attitude Toward Religion, ATR) in all three countries and Tucker’s Phi test was very close to 1. These findings support the unidimensional solution for attitudes toward religions obtained in previous scales and broaden the scope for these studies in several cultural contexts. Further implications are discussed.

Abstract:
This article reviews measures of gender-role attitudes with an emphasis on The Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS; Spence & Helmreich, 1972); the Sex Role Egalitarianism Scale (SRES; Beere, King, Beere, & King, 1984); the Modern Sexism Scale (MS; Swim, Aikin, Hall, & Hunter, 1995); the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI; Click & Fiske, 1996), and the Children's Occupational Activity Trait-Attitude Measure (COAT-AM; Bigler, Liben, Lobliner, & Yekel, 1995). The discussion of gender-role attitude measures focuses on the following themes: psychometric criteria; theoretical and conceptual distinctions among measures; domains of attitudes and behaviors included; relationship to other measures; and the meaningfulness and relevance of items. Gender-role attitude scales are viewed as measuring gender-role ideology in a particular sociohistorical context; context-specificity is viewed as contributing to the proliferation of scales, and as limiting the usefulness of scales across cultural and temporal boundaries.

Abstract:
The problem of decision-making when evaluating alternatives according to several quality criteria is considered. Information is used about the pairwise comparison of alternatives by criteria: how many times one alternative is preferable to the other. The criteria may have nonuniform scales. The method to form preferences matrices for representing numerical estimates of alternatives in attitude scales is proposed. The properties of the constructed relation are investigated. The algorithms for constructing the relation with the minimum distance from the preferences by criteria are developed. An algorithm for constructing an aggregated relation based on the summation of preferences by criteria is developed. Aggregate relation depends on the method of specifying the distance between the matrices of preferences. The proposed algorithms for constructing an aggregated relation can use coefficients of importance of criteria. The method can be applied in collective choice problems when assigning estimates to alternatives by experts. A comparison of the proposed algorithms with each other and with known decision-making methods is carried out. The software system of multi-criteria choice is developed. The task of choosing start-up projects for the purpose of investing by a venture fund has been solved.

Abstract:
Introdução. A preocupação com saúde e o interesse por uma alimentação saudável com alimentos ricos em vitaminas e minerais, mais naturais, menos processados e sem resíduos tóxicos é uma realidade. O motivo pelo qual os indivíduos escolhem seus alimentos e como fazem estas escolhas é uma etapa importante na realização de orientações dietéticas adequadas, pois diversos fatores como atitude, hábito, valores, crenças e normas sociais afetam a maneira como os consumidores vivem, compram e consomem. Objetivo. Estudar o interesse em relação à saúde e comportamento de compra de produtos orgânicos entre funcionários e alunos da Faculdade de Saúde Pública/USP. Métodos. Um total de 221 voluntários responderam o questionário composto pela Escala de Atitude em Relação à Saúde (HTAS), perguntas sobre comportamento do consumidor e aspectos sociodemográficos. Realizou-se a análise descritiva dos dados, bem como testes de associação pelo qui-quadrado de Pearson, teste de Kruskal-Wallis para verificar diferenças entre distribuições e análise fatorial exploratória com rotação Varimax para identificação dos fatores de influência de compra de orgânicos. Resultados. A subescala de Interesse em Saúde Geral apresentou a maior média (5,03). Identificou-se um maior interesse por produtos light entre os homens e por produtos naturais entre as mulheres. A decisão de compra de produtos orgânicos está associada à renda (p=0,022) e entre os que compram, a proteção ambiental é o fator mais importante, seguido da saúde, informação e mercado, além de apresentarem maior interesse em saúde geral e em produtos naturais. Conclusão. A maior atitude em relação à saúde foi verificada entre aqueles que efetivamente compram produtos orgânicos, por apresentarem maior interesse em saúde geral e produtos naturais, buscando uma alimentação mais saudável, com menos alimentos processados e produtos químicos
Introduction. Concern for health and interest in healthy eating with food rich in vitamins and minerals, more natural, less processed and no toxic waste is a reality. The reason why individuals choose their food and how they make these choices is an important step in making appropriate dietary guidelines, since several factors such as attitude, habits, values, beliefs and social norms affect the way consumers live, buy and consume. Objective. Study the health interest and buying behavior of organic products in students and staff of the School of Public Health / USP. Methods. A total of 221 volunteers answered a questionnaire composed of Health Attitude Scale (HTAS), questions about consumer behavior and demographic aspects. We conducted a descriptive analysis of data, and association tests by the Pearson´s chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis test to verify the differences among distributions and exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation to identify factors which influence the purchase of organic food. Results. The subscale of Interest in General Health had the highest average (5.03). It identified a greater interest in light products among men and natural products for women. The decision to purchase organic products is associated to income (p = 0.022) and among those who purchase, environmental protection is the most important factor, followed by health, information and market, besides having greater interest in overall health and products natural. Conclusion. The greatest attitude towards health was observed among those who actually buy organic products because they have more interest in general health and natural products, looking for a healthier diet with less processed foods and chemicals.

Abstract:
Research shows that a considerable number of children and adolescents suffer needlessly from psychological problems and only about 50% of those receive the necessary services. Considering the impact of untreated child psychological problems on problems in adulthood, it is important to examine the influence of attitudes on seeking mental health service for children. Currently, no known measure exists to measure attitudes toward mental health services for children. Building on previous research, the goal of the present study was to develop a measure of individuals' attitudes toward mental health services for children. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the factor structure was assessed using a sample of university students (N = 250). In addition, several hypotheses were tested examining the influence of previous experience with mental health services on attitudes towards psychological services and mental health stigma. Finally, differences in child characteristics on intended help-seeking were examined. The measure developed consists of 26-items scored from 0 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Overall, results indicated that the 3-factor structure of the measure developed was valid and reliable. Also, consistent with previous research on mental health services results supported the hypotheses of the current study. Future research will examine whether the 3-factor structure is replicated using a sample of parents.

Brown, Diane Peacock. "Occupational Therapy Academic Program Faculty Attitudes Toward Tenure as Measured by the Tenure Attitude Scale." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2002. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3265/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explored attitudes of occupational therapy faculty toward tenure and selected alternatives to tenure. A survey method was employed, and the Tenure Attitude Survey Instrument, (TASI), was created for use in the study. Additionally, a questionnaire sought information regarding respondents' rank, tenure and administrative status, institutional type, and years in academia. Participants were accredited occupational therapy professional program faculty who identified their primary work setting as "Academic" on the 2000-2001 American Occupational Therapy Association membership survey. Factor analysis of 577 surveys examined the structure of scores on the TASI, and the instrument consisted of 4 scales, and 18 items, as follows: Scale One: Attitude toward academic freedom and job security protection, 7 items; Scale Two: Attitude toward tenure in general, 6 items; Scale Three: Attitude toward stop-the-tenure clock provisions, 2 items; and Scale Four: Attitude toward post-tenure review, 3 items. Cronbach's alpha was conducted, as follows: TASI overall alpha = .7915; Scale 1 alpha = .7884; Scale 2 alpha = .8420; Scale 3 alpha = .7020; Scale 4 alpha = .4229. Proportional analysis showed that most respondents were full time faculty (88.1%); taught full time at public institutions (52.8%); were tenured or tenure-track (55.5%); had no administrative duties (70.5%); with a rank of instructor or lecturer (17.5%), or assistant professor (45.7%). Time in academia ranged from 1-40 years, with a mean of 11.27 years, median of 9.25 years, and mode of 4 years. Attitudes toward, and support for, the continuation of tenure and for selected proposed alternatives to tenure were analyzed according to the following: faculty rank, administrative status, and tenure status. Respondents held generally favorable attitudes toward tenure as measured by Scales 1 and 2 of the TASI, and the best predictors of faculty attitude toward tenure were tenure status and rank. Due to low reliability scores on Scales 3 and 4, no conclusions can be drawn regarding respondents' attitudes toward alternatives to tenure.

Abstract:
Kriminalvårdares attityd till intagna har betydelse för att den intagne ska kunna genomgå en positiv förändring under sin verkställighetstid i anstalt. Studiens syfte var därför att undersöka kriminalvårdares attityder gentemot intagna och om olika variabler som t.ex. kön och utbildning påverkade den. En självdeklarationsstudie med ATP-skalan gjordes på tre olika anstalter och ett häkte. Totalt svarade 28 kriminalvårdare på enkäten varav två tolkades som extremvärden och inte togs med i resultatet. Resultatet visade att svenska kriminalvårdare har en mer negativ attityd till intagna än vad som mätts upp i tidigare undersökningar i USA och Norge. Studien fann också att kvinnliga kriminalvårdare hade en mer positiv attityd än sina manliga medarbetare och att utbildning inte alltid är bra för attityden.
Correctional officers’ attitudes toward prisoners are of importance for prisoners to positively change during their sentence in prison. The purpose of this study was to review the attitudes of correctional officers toward prisoners and if different variables like gender and education had any effect on the attitude. A self-declaration survey was done with the ATP-scale at three different prisons and one custody facility. A total of 28 correctional officers responded to the survey, two of them was counted as outliers and was not included in the result. The result showed that Swedish correctional officers had more negative attitudes toward prisoners than found in earlier studies from USA and Norway. The study also found that female correctional officers had more positive attitudes than their male co-workers and that education not always led to a more positive attitude toward inmates.

Abstract:
This investigation examined attitudes towards Middle-Eastern Muslims held by non-Muslim undergraduate students and was conducted in three phases. Phase one explored these attitudes through focus groups and found that although participants had little information about Muslims, they had definite attitudes. Focus group participants reported that Muslim men and women possessed particular characteristics and that much of their information was learned through movies and/or media sources. During phase two of the study, all measures utilized in the present study were examined for reliability of at least .70. In addition, the ATMS was developed from a review of the literature and of focus groups. All measures were shown to be reliable except the cognitive complexity measure. During phase three, factor analyses were conducted to address the validity of the ATMS. A final five-factor, 25-item scale resulted. The five factors were interpreted as Positive Feelings about Muslims, Muslims as Separate or Other, Lack of Personal Choice/Freedom, Fear of Muslims, and Dissimilarity with Muslims. Correlation analyses supported initial evidence of construct validity. A discussion of the results and its implications are provided.

Abstract:
The diversity of approaches and explanatory concepts of psychological well-being contributes to the problem of clearly defining its essence and structure in cadets at the stage of their training in a military university, which determines the specificity of their relationship system, and satisfaction with life, which generates specific features of the experience of psychological well-being. This study was aimed at the theoretical arrangement of a structural-functional model of psychological well-being in cadets, and a programme of its empirical verification. The arranged structural-functional model of psychological well-being of cadets is represented at the component level by the following key categories: ‘satisfaction’ and ‘attitude’, whereas at the functional level it is represented as a result of the positive functioning of personality. The model is comprised of four main components and their main indicators. The empirical verification of this model involves the use of research tools to identify patterns of psychological well-being in cadets and its specific indicators. This tool comprises: the questionnaire on self-attitude (V.V. Stolin, S.R. Pantileev), diagnostics of personality orientation according to B. Bass (Smekal-Kucher’s questionnaire), amiability (in Campbell’s scale), manipulative attitude (in Bant’s scale), level of multi-communicative empathy (I.M. Yusupov), analysis of professional identity statuses according to A.A. Azbel, A.G. Gretsova, level of correlation between ‘value’ and ‘accessibility’ in different areas of life (E.B. Fantalova), scales of subjective well-being and professional stresses, recognition of psychological burnout (A.A. Rukavishnokov). ‘Adaptiveness’ is evaluated via a multi-layer personality questionnaire (MLO-AM) suggested by A.G. Maklakov and S.V. Chermyakin. The findings provide a research framework for identifying the general and specific aspects in the psychological well-being structure manifestation in cadets.

Abstract:
The main goal of these reflections is to investigate and highlight innovative approaches in Climate Change driven policies, aimed at overcoming the waterfront cities’ critical aspects. The ‘River contracts’ experience, explored through two case studies in the Roman hydrographic basin, is conceived to tackle the increasing vulnerability of its territory, looking for a sensible attitude towards the integration of water systems, green corridors and open spaces, with actions to be planned and shared through participatory democracy’s steps. Anticipatory adaptation looks ahead to the project scenario trying to implement policies and strategies preventing potential disasters. Creative design and conscious management embracing different spatial scales play a crucial role in enhancing the anticipatory adaptation and resilience approach. The variety of trends, contexts and spatial scales highlights that it is definitively time for fostering the ‘adaptation approach’, supported by mitigation strategies, with a clear twofold aim: risks to be minimised and potential opportunities to be caught.

Abstract:
The study investigates the nature of relationship between ICT attitudinal constructs and use level of Nigerian teachers. A total of 467 teachers randomly drawn from teacher-training institutions participated in the study. Two research instruments; Teachers ICT Attitudinal Scales and Teachers’ Use of ICT Checklist were employed in collecting relevant information. Data collected were analysed using Multiple Regression Analysis and Spearman Correlation. It was discussed that ICT Use Level of teachers is significantly related with each and the combination of attitude constructs. The findings also revealed that perceived control factor, behavioural factors and defense factors contributed mostly to the prediction of ICT Use Level of teachers.

Abstract:
We present a graph theoretic and optimization based method for attitude and position consensus of a team of communicating vehicles navigating in three dimensional space. Coordinated control of such vehicles has applications in planetary scale mobile sensor networks, and multiple vehicle navigation in general. Using the Laplacian matrix of the communication graph, and attitude quaternions, a synthesis of the optimal stochastic matrix that drives the attitudes to consensus, is done, by solving a constrained semidefinite program. This novel methodology attempts to extend quadratically constrained attitude control (Q-CAC), to the consensus framework. The solutions obtained are used to realize coordinated rendezvous, and formation acquisition, in the presence of static and dynamic obstacles.

Abstract:
Abstract The flow characteristics in the inertial Reynolds number regime are investigated in a mono-dispersed random pack porous media. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to visualize the velocity field in a low aspect ratio bed with 15 mm glass beads. An aqueous solution of Ammunium Thiocynante is used as the working fluid to facilitate matching the solid-fluid refractiveindices. In order to illuminate the inertial regime characteristics, two pore Reynolds number of 100 and 270 are examined. Also, due to the random nature of the packing several pore geometries are compared to identify local scaling used to define the inertial regime effects. Discrete vortical flow structures are evaluated using LES (lowpass filtering) decomposition, in conjunction with criticalpoint analysis of the local velocity gradient tensor. The identified scales associated with the vortical elements are compared based on Reynolds number and pore geometry. Implementing circulation as an integral measure of all vortical structures locally at the pore-scale level demonstrated a linear attitude over the range of Reynolds numbers. Evolution of inertial effects within pore-regions are indicated to be the primary driving mechanism for the emergence of swirling structures passing through the PIV field of view at the onset of turbulence.

Abstract:
To improve the overall engine performance, it is necessary to clearly understand the main unsteady phenomena that occur inside an IC engine. Since experimental technique can provide only lump parameters, the CFD numerical approach has been identified as a valid alternative tool to perform detailed investigations on the fluid dynamics behaviours. The numerical analysis of engine flows is commonly performed by using RANS approach. Adopting a RANS methodology only the mean flow variable distributions could be obtained because the time average of the generic flow variable fluctuation is zero by definition. To perform an effective analysis about the unsteady characteristic of a generic flow and, in particular, of an engine flow it is necessary to improve the numerical solution level adopting the LES (Large Eddy Simulation) approach. LES solves directly the large scales of motion (responsible for the main energy transport inside the flow) while only the small scales are modelled using a Sub-Grid Scale model. Moreover, the LES approach could also be used as test bench case to properly define and understand how it is possible to improve the solution accuracy of RANS simulation. This paper regards the LES analysis of a steady non-reactive wall-bounded flow over a test bench engine geometry. In particular, two LES models, i.e., the Wall Adaptive Local Eddy-Viscosity (WALE) [25] model and the one-equation Dynamic Model by Kim and Menon [23, 24, 29] have been tested. The numerical set-up has been defined performing a preliminary parametric CFD simulations on a basic flow over a backward facing step case. In particular, a bounded second order central differencing scheme was adopted and a discussion of the kinetic energy conservation attitude of such a scheme is performed. LES results have been compared to available experimental LDA measurements of mean and rms fluctuations of both axial and tangential velocity components and with numerical predictions obtained by an optimized RANS simulation of the same case. This paper shows the advantages and the limits of the LES simulation approach applied to IC engine flows.

Abstract:
Abstract A numerical simulation of the hydrodynamic interaction and attitude of a ship and two ships of different sizes navigating in parallel in waves were carried out in this paper. The study of the two ships navigating in parallel is of great significance in marine replenishment. This paper used in house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to solve unsteady RANS equation coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations. URANS equations are solved by finite difference method and PISO algorithm. Structured grid with overset technology have been used to make computations. Turbulence models used the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω model. The method used for free surface simulation is single phase level set. In this paper, two DTMB 5415 with different scales are selected for simulation analysis. This paper analyzed the impact of the big ship on the small ship when the two ships were navigating in parallel. This paper also analyzed the relationship between interaction and velocity between hulls, which has certain guiding significance for the ship’s encounter on the sea.

Abstract:
School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) remains difficult to measure because of high sensitivity and response bias. However, most SRGBV measurement relies on face-to-face (FTF) survey administration, which is susceptible to increased social desirability bias. Widely used in research on sensitive topics, Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) allows subjects to respond to pre-recorded questions on a computerized device, providing respondents with privacy and confidentiality. This brief contains the findings from a large-scale study conducted in Uganda in 2019 where primary grade 3 students were randomly selected to complete surveys using either ACASI or FTF administration. The surveys covered school climate, gender attitudes, social-emotional learning, and experiences of SRGBV. Through this study, we find that although most survey responses were comparable between ACASI and FTF groups, the reporting of experiences of sexual violence differed drastically: 43% of students in the FTF group versus 77% of students in the ACASI group reported experiencing sexual violence in the past school term. We also find that factor structures are similar for data collected with ACASI compared with data collected FTF, though there is weaker evidence for construct validity for both administration modes. We conclude that ACASI is a valuable tool in measuring sensitive sub-topics of SRGBV and should be utilized over FTF administration, although further psychometric testing of these surveys is recommended.

Abstract:
The government of Burkina Faso is committed to the improvement of women’s reproductive health. Within this context, the Population Council’s FRONTIERS Program collaborated with two nongovernmental organizations, Tostan in Senegal and Mwangaza Action in Burkina Faso, to replicate the Tostan community-based education program. Originally developed in Senegal, this program provides modules in local languages on hygiene, problem solving, women’s health, and human rights as a means of promoting community empowerment to facilitate social change. The intervention, implemented from 2000 to 2003 in the provinces of Bazega and Zoundwéogo in Burkina Faso, compared the performance of 23 participating villages with 23 control villages. To measure the program’s impact on awareness, attitudes, and behavior regarding reproductive health and female genital cutting, researchers conducted pre- and post-intervention surveys of women and men in the intervention and control areas, and qualitative interviews with key community members. To measure the diffusion of knowledge, researchers surveyed men and women who lived in the intervention area but did not participate in the study. They also assessed pre-and post-intervention changes in the number of girls under 10 who had been cut.

Abstract:
From 2000 to 2003, FRONTIERS collaborated with the Senegalese nongovernmental organization Tostan to evaluate the effects of a community-based education program on awareness, attitudes, and behavior regarding reproductive health and female genital cutting. The Tostan program provides modules in local languages on hygiene, problem solving, women’s health, and human rights. It was designed to improve women’s health and promote social change by enabling participants, mainly women, to analyze and find solutions to community problems. As stated in this brief, Tostan implemented the education program as part of a scale-up effort in 90 communities in the Kolda district of southern Senegal. The FRONTIERS evaluation took place as part of the project and compared changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of men and women in 20 villages in the intervention area with those living in 20 nonintervention villages. Changes were measured using pre- and post-intervention surveys of women and men in the intervention and control areas and qualitative interviews with key community members. They also assessed pre- and post-intervention changes in the number of girls under 10 who had been cut.
