Schulz, Jeffrey Todd. "Attitudes toward community policing in Middletown." Virtual Press, 1998. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1074530.
Full textAbstract:
Community policing in Middletown (Muncie, Indiana) began in 1996 with the institution of Cop Shops. Cop Shops are small satellite stations that are equipped with a telephone and an officer that works in neighborhoods that have an above average amount of crime. The officer works with residents in these neighborhoods with the goal of reducing crime in these areas. Questions were put on the 1997 Middletown Area Survey that asked the citizens of Muncie what their attitudes were toward the Muncie Police Department. Interviews were also conducted with law enforcement officers in the Muncie/Delaware County area for information regarding the type of community policing system that is practiced in Muncie. Initial findings indicate that any type of contact citizens have with the Muncie Police Department, positive or negative, result in citizens viewing the police officers more negatively than those citizens who have not had any contact with the police.Department of Sociology

Chang, Chih-Yao. "Resident Attitudes toward Community Development Alternatives." DigitalCommons@USU, 2010. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/622.
Full textAbstract:
Utilizing survey data collected in four communities in the State of Utah, this study examined the extent to which rural resident perceptions and attitudes toward local community circumstances influence their own expectations and attitudes subjectively toward future community development alternatives. Understanding perceptions of community and community development, as well as the patterns of localized community development, is crucial and needs to consider residents' opinions and attitudes toward unique rural economic, environmental, and social conditions in order to help preserve the unique characteristics of the way of life while continuing economic improvement and social betterment in rural areas. Three conceptual frameworks of development (economic, environmental, and social) are applied in this study to explore the relationship between local residents' general attitudes toward the current conditions in their community and their attitudes toward development alternatives. I examine how these three development frameworks guide rural scholars to understand whether the pattern of community development is consistent across the region or localized from community to community. Four different types of rural communities were selected in a Utah-wide community survey in the summer of 2008. These communities are facing four different change patterns: an increasing senior community, an energy-development community, a recreational community, and a constant community that has remained stable over the last five decades. Each type of community has its unique economy, lifestyle, culture, and environment, in which local residents have developed a way of life in response to these changes in social and economic structures. Research findings indicate that the local residents' self-perceptions of community economic situation are not significant indictors to support the arguments of the economic development framework. However, indexes of environmental and social development frameworks are found to have strong associations with locals' environmental and social development alternatives. Also, different types of rural community show different demands for community development strategies, implying that a single development framework would not be sufficient to explain the complex of local residents' perceptions and attitudes toward community development unless the researchers integrate other perspectives into the model.

Tyler, Lisa. "Examining Community Attitudes Toward Manufactured Housing." ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1943.
Full textAbstract:
Despite the need for affordable housing, consumers have failed to recognize manufactured housing as a viable alternative to site-built housing. The decline in market share for manufactured housing and subsequent decrease in sales has threatened the sustainability of manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, and support organizations. The purpose of this correlational study was to determine the extent that respondents' demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, perceptions of manufactured home characteristics, and perceptions of manufactured home occupants and neighborhood characteristics predicted the acceptance of manufactured homes. The model of acceptance of manufactured homes provided the theoretical framework for the study. Data were collected from 2 surveys distributed among adult learners (n = 204) enrolled in a nontraditional degree-seeking program at university campuses in west Tennessee. One survey applied to single-section manufactured homes and another survey instrument applied to double-section homes. Correlation and multiple regression analyses techniques tested the hypotheses. Six of the 12 independent variables emerged as moderate predictors of manufactured home acceptance (R2 = .217), which were respondents' housing value, perceived manufactured home occupant behavior, perceived educational levels of manufactured home occupants, respondents' household size and composition, land-use mix, and respondents' neighborhood population range. The research findings may contribute to social change through providing a foundation for future research on variables that influence consumer perceptions about affordable housing choices.

Full textAbstract:
The waterfront community of Sydhavn in Copenhagen, Denmark is architecturally praised, but also criticized for its lack of public green space. Residents in the area have self-organized a community gardening initiative to combat this lack of greenery. The thesis aims to explore this occurrence by providing an analysis of the attitudes and behaviors towards social and environmental aspects of sustainability and individual residents’ resistance or support towards community gardening initiatives. The research design is based on quantitative methods with an exploratory purpose, using an online survey methodology. The main findings show that there is an association among knowledge of sustainability concepts, sustainable attitudes and behaviors, and interest in community gardening participation in the study population. Moreover, individuals who indicate no interest in community gardening lack a desire to join in the future, although they may be encouraged to do so with more education and advertisement. Generally, the study population feels positively towards community gardening and feels there is a need for it in the area. Further research may investigate aspects such as politics and policies related to community gardening and replicate a similar study in a different sociodemographic context to see how the results differ. The results of this study have practical implications for academics, built environment practitioners, and community gardening organizers.

Witry, Matthew John. "Community pharmacist medication monitoring attitudes and decision making." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/4979.
Full textAbstract:
Medication related problems occur frequently and can be difficult to predict. Medication monitoring by health care providers allows for problems to be identified before they become severe. Medication monitoring is an an emerging role for community pharmacists. This mixed methods study examines pharmacist perspectives on medication monitoring. Study methods included 12 semi-structured interviews, a mixed methods item generation process to create a pharmacist medication motioning attitude measure, and mailed factorial survey designed to assess pharmacist decision making related to asking non-adherence, side effect, and effectiveness questions for randomly generated refill dispensing vignettes. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to identify significant vignette level and pharmacist level variables associated with likelihood to ask the three monitoring questions. The qualitative analysis showed barriers to medication monitoring including time limitations, busyness, low patient expectation, and a perceived routine nature of refills by both patients and pharmacists. Monitoring non-adherence was a challenge because workflows often do not make non-adherence apparent to the pharmacists when the patient presents to the pharmacy. Lastly, monitoring interactions often are precipitated by "gateway conversations" which begin as technical or cost issues related to the prescription but then progress to monitoring issues when the patient reflects interest. Analysis of the survey showed in general, pharmacists had positive medication monitoring attitudes and worked in pharmacies somewhat conducive to medication monitoring, although there was variation. The factorial survey showed pharmacist monitoring attitudes were significantly associated with the likelihood to ask all three monitoring question types. For the different prescriptions involved, warfarin and hydrocodone were significantly associated with asking monitoring questions whereas fluoxetine and metoprolol appeared less question-worthy. The number of days late was associated with greater question asking likelihood suggesting days late is an important activator for pharmacist medication monitoring. Number of patients waiting was a barrier. This study shows community pharmacists are oriented to monitoring, but there are significant barriers which need to be addressed when advancing this role.

Wojcicki, Thomas. "Acculturative stress appraisal and acculturation attitudes." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2001. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1027.
Full textAbstract:
Part One : The term acculturation describes an array of cultural changes that occur when culturally different groups come into continuous, first hand contact (Redfield, Linton, & Herskovits, 1936). Acculturative stress describes a multitude of psychological or social problems that are often encountered by individuals experiencing acculturation (Berry, 1994). This article reviews the empirical literature on acculturation and factors influencing the outcomes of the acculturation experience from the perspective of the research framework proposed by Berry (1974, 1984, 1987, 1989, 1990). Methodological issues relevant to advancing this area of research are also addressed. In particular the influence of attitudes to acculturation on the level of acculturative stress has been investigated. Some research positions critical of Berry's framework and some alternatives to Berry's framework will also be briefly discussed. New multivariate models that examine the interplay of these variables arc now required to further understanding in this area. Part Two : The relationship between the type of acculturating group and the levels of acculturative stress encountered during the acculturative experience has been documented in the study of Berry and Kim (1%8) and replicated by others. However, there is not much evidence concerning the influence of the cultural compatibility between the acculturating group and the host nation on the level of acculturative stress. The aim of this study was to compare the level of acculturative stress between migrants of Asian (Singaporean Chinese) and European (Polish) origin using a group of white Anglo-Australians as a control. The main hypothesis was that people migrating to Australia from Europe will experience a lower level of acculturative stress than Asian migrants due to the greater similarity of the cultural background between Australia and Europe than between Australia and Asia.

Shermarke, Marian A. A. "Understanding the Canadian community context of female circumcision." Thesis, McGill University, 1996. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=23981.
Full textAbstract:
This qualitative research study explores female circumcision within the Canadian community perspective.Issues examined in the literature review include: the historical background of the practice, its cultural and religious implications, its effects on health, existing social pressures to continue or discontinue the practice and the subjective constructions of majority and minority identities, perspectives and interactions in Canada's multicultural society.
For the purposes of this study majority/minority relations are explored in terms of the interactions between an immigrant community from a FC practicing country and the mainstream community in Canada. The Somali community has been chosen for this case study as the one best known to the author and as one in whose country of origin available statistics indicate a 98% prevalence rate of FC. Canadian mainstream reactions to this practice are analyzed through media reporting and statements from Somalis in Canada describing their interactions with the mainstream community on this issue.
Members of the Somali community in Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa, Ontario were interviewed in order to cover as wide an area as possible, including difference in provinces. The following six themes were chosen after data analysis: the Effects of FC on Health, the Cultural Orientation of FC, Religious Beliefs Regarding FC, Social Pressures, A Sense of Differentness and Efforts to Discourage the Practice of FC. These themes are discussed with special attention being paid to 'differentness' and the mechanisms or coping skills developed to deal with this complex social phenomenon which involves opposing values, beliefs and perceptions.
In its final section, the study examines the social work implications of the findings which address intercultural fears, anxieties and the dynamics of power involved in the way the FC issue has been addressed in Canada.
Practice, program and policy recommendations with regard to discouraging FC practice are made at the end of the thesis.
The study concludes with the observation that the debate around FC in Canada is much wider than the issue itself and that the practice has been sensationalized in a manner which has emphasized perceptions of differentness which exist in our society. No constructive dialogue will be possible around this issue until the issue of differentness is addressed, and mutual fears and anxieties evoked by the perception of differentness are dealt with in a sensitive manner, in both immigrant and mainstream communities.

Full textAbstract:
The intragroup attitudes of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community are examined. A general overview of heterosexuals’ views about LGBT persons is considered before reviewing past research on intragroup attitudes that may exist within the LGBT community. Since little work has been done in this area, to fill gaps in the literature a study of 533 self-identified LGBT individuals was conducted to assess attitudes towards each specific subgroup (lesbian, gay male, bisexual male, bisexual female, male-to-female transgender, and female-to-male transgender) of the LGBT community. Several variables, including group identification, perceived stigma, outness, and contact, were examined as predictors intragroup attitudes. Results indicated that predictors of attitudes differed by subgroup. Implications of the results are discussed, including limitations and directions for future work.

Herrera, Mari Lily, and Matthew Erik McGiffen. "Community Attitudes Toward Early-Release Offenders Under AB 109." CSUSB ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.lib.csusb.edu/etd/157.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine community attitudes towards ex-offenders released in San Bernardino under AB 109 on subjects that would likely impact the ex-offender reintegration process. Past research has shown that a community’s willingness to employ and offer social support to ex-offenders has a substantial impact on their probability of re-offense. This study focused on individuals whose roles in the community give them greater influence over ex-offenders. A total of 11 community members participated in this qualitative study. Of the 11 respondents, 4 were employers, 4 were social service workers, and 3 were community center workers. Respondents participated in verbal interviews that explored their prior knowledge of AB 109, past interactions with ex-offenders, and their views related to ex-offenders on community safety, reform, employment, social support, and the severity of an offender’s crime. Unanimous agreement that ex-offenders should be able to compete for employment provided they have job skills, but varying levels of willingness to hire or work alongside ex-offenders was the study’s most substantial finding. All respondents also reported having at least 1 prior relationship with an ex-offender. Community members also expressed varying opinions on the impact ex-offenders have on safety, but unanimously agreed that they need social support after release. These findings indicate that San Bernardino community members have high levels of familiarity with ex-offenders and believe they iv should have a chance to become productive members of society, but that many community members want to avoid personally interacting with ex-offenders due to safety concerns.

Full textAbstract:
Civic responsibility is comprised of actions and attitudes associated with democratic governance and social participation. Students enrolled at institutions of higher education have the opportunity to transform their social interests into advocacy through personal connections with the community. Service learning is an effective method of increasing citizenship participation and civic responsibility by incorporating community service activities with academic coursework.
This study used survey research to examine the civic attitude scores of service learning students at a large, public, mid-Atlantic state university. The research questions attained information on the associations among students who perform written and discussion reflection activities (outside of class and in-class) regarding civic attitude by gender, class year, and grade point average. The associations between interest in future service participation and civic attitude were also examined.
The data were collected using surveys. Crosstabulation procedures and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. It was found that students who performed discussion reflection activities and reflected outside of class had higher civic attitude levels and more interest in future service participation.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the factors that influence community college students'
attitudes toward technology, particularly in teaching and learning experiences. Studies
on post-secondary students' attitudes reported in the literature are limited. Factors cited
previously as having an effect on attitudes towards technology and toward computers
included: gender; age; presence of a computer in the home; completion of a formal
technology course; and comfort with technology.
The subjects in this study were 372 students in freshman level credit English
classes in the five colleges of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District
located in the greater metropolitan Houston area. Previous research instruments and
studies to measure students' attitudes toward technology were reviewed. A modified
version of the Secondary Students Attitudes' Toward Technology (SSATT) was
developed for this study because of the content, reliability, and applicability to the postsecondary
population. The instrument was administered in the spring of 2005. The fact that 95.4% of the participants reported having a computer at home and
that 70.2% reported having had a formal technology class provided insight into the
integration of technology in the lives of this community college sample. A correlation
matrix of all variables and analysis of variance were performed. Factor analyses were
performed to identify subcomponents of the instrument. Eight factors were identified:
(1) need for technology competence, (2) technology benefits, (3) negative aspects of
technology, (4) technology and the workplace, (5) impact of increased use of
technology, (6) video games, (7) technology and job creation, and (8) technology and
safety.
A conclusion of the study was that neither age nor gender had a significant effect
on the post-secondary students' attitudes toward technology, which differs from the
findings in some of the previous studies. Females reported being as comfortable, if not
more so, with technology in teaching and learning experiences as the males in the study.
Exposure to technology, completion of a formal technology class, and the use of
computers appeared to positively affect community college students' attitudes toward
technology.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MCur)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mental health knowledge is defined as “the knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders which aid their recognition, management or prevention”. Although mental illness is a common condition in the community, only a few people with these disorders generally undergo treatment with about only 70% of individuals seeking help. Contributing to the community’s lack of knowledge, it has also been found that the public cannot recognise different types of psychological distress and mental illness, resulting in people not seeking mental health care. From the evidence perused in the literature, the researcher observed that communities with sound mental health knowledge and a positive attitude towards mental illness are motivated to seek professional help, whilst communities with a lack of mental health knowledge and a negative attitude towards mental illness are less motivated to seek professional help. The researcher therefore aimed at determining the knowledge and attitudes of the Kinondoni community members towards mental illness. In determining the knowledge and attitudes of the Kinondoni community members towards mental illness, the research design was a descriptive, crosssectional survey, with a quantitative approach. An adjusted, existing questionnaire, with, self-compiled, closed ended questions, was used to collect data. Reliability was supported by a pilot study to test the questionnaire beforehand. Face and content validity focused on readability, clarity and development of the questionnaire. The ethical principles were used to make sure the rights of participants were protected. The ethical approval was obtained from Stellenbosch University institutional review board number IRB0005239 to conduct research. Furthermore the study permit was given by the Kinondoni Municipal Medical Officer of health with reference number TD/K/3/VOL/207. The collected data was analysed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results were presented in tables of means, in which each variable had its own table of analysis of variance. The results were as follows; knowledge about mental illness was very poor as most of the respondents in Kinondoni community n=182 (61%) responded that mentally ill people cannot perform regular jobs, had no friends, and were dangerous. Respondents n= 239 (79.6%) had negative attitudes towards people with mental illness as they stated that they have no right to find a job, have friends and be integrated into society. The results conclude that the Kinondoni community members have less knowledge and negative attitude towards mental illness. The researcher summarises the completed process of this research study and recommend policy makers to formulate guidelines to strengthen nursing practice and education, to create awareness to the community on mental illness and also recommend for further study.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geestesgesondheidskennis word gedefinieer as die kennis van geestesongesteldhede wat bydra tot die herkenning, hantering en voorkoming van geestesongesteldhede. Alhoewel geestesongesteldhede ‘n algemene toestand is in die gemeenskap, is daar slegs ‘n klein aantal geestesongestelde individue wat behandeling ondergaan, met omtrent 70% van die genoemde individue wat hulp soek. Bydraend tot die gebrek van die gemeenskap se kennis het dit ook aan die lig gekom dat die publiek ook nie die verskeie sielkundige stressors en geestesongesteldhede erken nie, wat veroorsaak dat mense nie geestesgesondheidsorg benader nie. Uit die literatuurstudie het die navorser geobserveer dat die gemeenskappe met geestesgesondheidskennis en ‘n positiewe houding gemotiveerd is om hulp te soek en gemeenskappe met ‘n gebrek aan geestesgesondheidskennis minder gemotiveerd is om professionele hulp te soek. Die navorsing het hierbenewens ten doel gehad om die kennis en houding van die Kinondoni gemeenskapslede aangaande geestesongesteldhede te bepaal. Om die kennis en houding van die Kinondoni gemeenskap te bepaal is ‘n kwantitatiewe deursnitopname gedoen. ‘n Bestaande vraelys met geslote vrae is aangepas om data in te samel. Betroubaarheid is deur die loodstudie ondersteun, terwyl sig- en inhoudsgeldigheid op die leesbaarheid, uitklaring en ontwikkeling van die vraelys gefokus het. Die etiese standaarde is gebruik om die regte van deelnemers te beskerm. Vervolgens is die gekollekteerde data met SPSS ontleed. Die bevindinge is deur middel van tabelle van gemiddeldes, waar elke verandelike sy eie variansie vertoon het, voorgestel. Ten slotte is riglyne beskryf. Die resultate is as volg; kennis betrefffende geestesongesteldhede was baie swak onder die meerderheid repondente van Kinondoni se gemeenskap n=182 (61%) het vertoon dat geestesongestelde persone nie gereelde werk kan verig nie, geen vriende kringe het nie en baie gevaarlik is. Respondente n=239 (79.6%) het n negatiewe houdng teenoor persone met n geestesgebrek en maak melding dat geestesgestremde persone geen reg op om te werk besit, vriende te het en om te integreer in die gemeenskap. Die gevolgtrekking van die resultate toon dat die Kinondoni gemeenskaps lede baie min kennis en n negatiewe houding teenoor geestesgebreke het. Die navorser maak n volledige opsomming van die navorsings’ studie en maak n aanbeveling aan beleid opstellers om riglyne te formuleer deur versterking van die verpleeg praktyk en onderwys, om bewustheid van gesondheidsgebreke aan die gemeenskap daar te stel en beveel ook verdere studies aan.

Full textAbstract:
Reconciliation is important for reducing the likelihood of future conflict between groups but can be particularly difficult to achieve. This remains true within divided societies as the result of frozen conflict. This thesis asks why do some individuals, in the context of divided societies engaged in frozen conflict, have more positive reconciliatory attitudes than others? The approach of community center peacebuilding organizations (CCPB) was identified as one possible solution to this question. The hypothesis suggests that individuals who engage in such organizations will have more positive reconciliatory attitudes compared to the average community member. This is based on a theoretical framework that relies on contact theory, suggesting that the CCPB model establishes the necessary conditions for nurturing more reconciliatory attitudes in individuals. It is suggested to achieve this through positive intergroup contact that is generalizable to the outgroup as a whole. A quantitative study based on 101 cases from original survey data is used to test this hypothesis. Using a logistic regression, support is found that establishes a significant positive correlation between engagement in CCPB and reconciliatory attitudes.

Full textAbstract:
A civil-military divide exists within the United States and is perpetuated by a distinct lack of communication between the civilian and military sectors within the population. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine whether attitudes and behaviors of combat veterans affect their positive reintegration into civilian communities. Binder’s social ecology theory provided the framework for the study. Data were collected from 255 combat veterans who responded to a survey. Results were analyzed using a hierarchical multiple linear regression model to determine the influence of military job satisfaction, post-deployment stressors, post-deployment support, and civic engagement on community reintegration efforts, while controlling for age, branch of military service, place of residence, political party affiliation, education, rank, reason for ending military service, and sex. There were statistically significant results that indicate prediction for successful community reintegration may be dependent upon the identification of key associations, including post-deployment support, education, rank, and the reason an individual transitioned out of military service. Findings may also provide policymakers with information about the community reintegration process, which may be used to improve reintegration efforts of combat veterans transitioning back to civilian life for positive social change.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of this study concerned illicit psychoactive drug use among community college students. A non-experimental design methodology, a survey, was used in this study. The population consisted of 149 students at 14 randomly selected public community college institutions throughout the United States. Three waves of mailings took place to increase response rate.
Community college students appear to be knowledgeable regarding the deleterious physical and mental impact upon those who use drugs. Community college students appear to have a negative attitude toward drug use and toward those who use them. Community college students have an aversion to actual drug use. The illicit psychoactive drug of choice among community college students is marijuana.

Full textAbstract:
The White Paper of 1997 on Higher Education Transformation formed the basis from
which community engagement (CE) was adopted as a core purpose of higher
education (HE) in South Africa, together with teaching/learning and research.
However, CE is often marginalised within the HE space with perceptions of it being an
add-on and a “nice-to-have” activity. This is of course due to a lack of conceptual clarity
of CE, which is often influenced by the variety of contexts in which CE should be
practiced by higher education institutions (HEIs), hampering the progress and
implementation of CE within respective HEIs. The institutional practices of CE and the
fostering of civic-mindedness in students and awareness of the role they are to play
in socity thus become the responsibility of respective HEIs and faculties in relation to
their contextual milieu. In this qualitative case study I seek to understand the role
institutional practices of CE at the faculty under study have played in shaping Art
Education student-teacher (AEST) attitudes towards CE. To acquire this
understanding the study makes use of an Art-Based Research method consisting of
reflection drawings as the primary means of collecting data. Incorporating the voice of
AESTs’ in the timely debate about CE within HE provides the Faculty of Education
with valuable insights that inform CE practices from AESTs’ authentic experiences of
CE. The study reveals that while Methodology of Art Education (JMK/ART/Fourth
year)1 exists within the auspices of the University of Pretoria’s Faculty of Education,
AESTs contrarily regard the faculty as not playing a significant role in the shaping of
their attitudes, understanding and definitions towards CE.Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2019.

Malik, A. "Beliefs and attitudes towards intellectual disability within the UK Pakistani community as perceived by key community members." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1332788/.
Full textAbstract:
Part 1 is a literature review investigating South Asian parents' perceptions of their child's intellectual disability, its effects on family life and views on service use. Search strategies used to identify relevant literature are specified and the results are presented in three parts. Firstly, experiences of parents regarding the process of diagnosis and provision of support are discussed. Secondly, their perceptions of the causes, symptoms and prognosis of their child’s intellectual disability are presented. Lastly, the effects of having a child with an intellectual disability on parenting and family life are outlined. The findings are then summarised and implications considered. Part 2 is a qualitative study designed to address gaps identified in the literature review, focusing on the attitudes and beliefs of the Pakistani community in the UK regarding intellectual disabilities. The results highlight the importance of taking the views of this community in account in implementing current UK policy centred on choice, independence and social inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities within a multicultural society. The results are followed by a discussion of the findings, where the study’s strengths and limitations, implications for policy and service provision are also considered. Finally, a direction for future researchers is suggested. Part 3 is a critical appraisal detailing personal reflections and considering methodological issues which arose during the study.

Full textAbstract:
The following question was investigated for each of several biographical variables: Are there significant differences in the work values, as measured by the Ohio Work Values Inventory (OWVI), and personal values (terminal and instrumental), as measured by the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS), of instructors in Oregon community colleges? Comparisons were made by job status (part-time/full-time), teaching assignment, sex, number of years teaching, age, degree held, other employment of instructor, geographic location of college, and vocational certificate held. A multivariate ANOVA (followed by univariate ANOVAs and Modified LSDs as needed) was performed separately on the OWVI scales, the RVS Terminal Values, and the RVS Instrumental Values. The initial sample included 984 Oregon community college instructors, partitioned by teaching status, teaching assignment, and geographic location. The responding sample included 212 full-time and 288 part-time faculty. The rank order of the OWVI means for instructors was: Task Satisfaction; Self Realization; Ideas/Data; Altruism; Independence; Security; Money; Control; Object Orientation; Prestige and Solitude. The rank order for RVS Terminal Values for instructors was: Health, Self Respect, Family Security; Freedom; Inner Harmony; A Sense of Accomplishment; Wisdom, Mature Love; True Friendship; A World at Peace, An Exciting Life; Equality; A World of Beauty; A Comfortable Life; Salvation; Pleasure; National Security and Social Recognition. The rank order for RVS Instrumental Values for instructors was: Honest, Responsible; Loving; Capable; Independent; Intellectual; Helpful; Broadminded; Courageous; Forgiving; Loyal (tied with Forgiving); Logical; Ambitious; Self Controlled; Polite; Clean and Obedient. When sex, teaching experience, age, highest degree held, other employment/no other employment, and college location were used as independent variables, statistically significant differences were found in each set of dependent variables, with the exception of instrumental values for teaching experience and college location, and terminal values for college location. Of 396 correlations between the OWVI scales and the RVS values, 162 were significant at the .05 level (41%). The signs of the correlations indicated a logical relation between the two instruments.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this thesis were: 1. to learn more about neighbourhood stability and 2. to examine the interrelationships between neighbourhood stability, residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood and their attitudes toward environmental change. Earlier studies revealed that residents frequently resist environmental change in their neighbourhood, therefore, it was hypothesized that as neighbourhood stability increases, residents' attitudes toward environmental change would become less favourable. In contrast, it was hypothesized that residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood would become more favourable as neighbourhood stability increases. Finally, it was hypothesized that as residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood become more favourable, their attitudes toward environmental change would become less favourable.
The literature and interviews with municipal planners helped clarify the meaning of neighbourhood stability, while the hypotheses were tested using data collected during the 1984 construction of the Advanced Light Rapid Transit(ALRT) system in east Vancouver. The data were collected from over 600 residents located near the Broadway, Nanaimo, 29th Avenue and Joyce ALRT stations. Indices of neighbourhood stability, favourable attitudes toward environmental change and favourable attitudes toward the neighbourhood were created and compared using analysis of variance. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to test the three hypotheses.
The findings did not provide conclusive support for the hypotheses. However, the findings suggested that as neighbourhood stability increases, residents' attitudes toward environmental change become slightly less favourable, while their attitudes toward the neighbourhood tend to become more favourable. Furthermore, as residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood become more favourable, their attitudes toward environmental change also become more favourable. Regardless of the stability of the neighbourhood, residents were neither favourable nor unfavourable toward change in their neighbourhood.
The thesis concludes with a discussion of neighbourhood stability, the role of municipal planners and the responsibilities of the three levels of government in maintaining stable neighbourhoods.Applied Science, Faculty of

Gerber, Linda Ann. "A Study of Community College Instructional Stakeholder Attitudes Toward Student Outcome Goals." PDXScholar, 1994. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/1275.
Full textAbstract:
This study sought to determine the importance community college instructional stakeholders--teachers, administrators, and support staff--ascribe to 23 student outcome goals and to examine the relationships between biographical variables and stakeholders' perceptions.
The study addressed the following research questions: (a) Which of the 23 student outcomes do instructional stakeholders as a whole perceive to be most important?; (b) Can these outcomes be factored into a set underlying constructs?; (c) Does the perceived importance of student outcomes vary in relationship to the type of student the stakeholder serves?; (d) Which outcomes do stakeholders serving different types of students value most highly?; (e) Does the perceived importance of student outcomes vary in relationship to: professional role, number of years worked in a community college, number of years worked at the community college surveyed, campus assignment, and gender?
Data were collected from 241 subjects employed by a large, urban community college. Subjects rated the importance of 23 student outcomes on a Likert-like scale. The Student Outcome Goals Inventory, a survey instrument developed by the researcher, was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using one or more of the following statistical tests where appropriate: ANOVA, t Test, Factor Analysis, and Discriminant Function Analysis. The major conclusions drawn from this study were: (a) Instructional stakeholders as a group perceived outcomes related to affective constructs, basic skills development, and goal setting to be most important; (b) six constructs represent the outcomes (Personal/Social, Transfer, Credentialing, Employment, Traditional College, and Developmental); (c) Type of student served has a significant relationship to the perceived importance of 12 of the 23 outcomes with most differences occurring between stakeholders serving lower division transfer students and those serving professional/technical students; (d) Few significant relationships exist between the remaining biographical variables and the 23 outcome variables; (e) The type of students stakeholders served can be predicted with 69% accuracy. The outcomes rated most highly by stakeholders are those that represent a foundation of skills that students are typically expected to gain in their secondary education.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the opinions of African American college students as they relate to suicide. A questionnaire was distributed to 92 individuals in a computer classroom setting. Their responses were then analyzed to investigate whether ethnic identity salience influenced the students’ perspectives of suicide. Regression analysis revealed that ethnic identity salience did not influence acceptability and normality of suicide in the African American students. Analysis also demonstrated that ethnic identity salience did not effect whether the African American students viewed suicide as being related to mental or moral illness. Seventeen of those who took the questionnaire also participated in interviews. The interviews allowed the respondents to voice their opinions on suicide in the African American community. Nine key themes were discovered during the interviews. Suggestions for suicide prevention and interventions that are more effective, and the directions for future literature on the subject, are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Nunavut has experienced significant growth in tourism since the 1980s, and ecotourism has all but become policy in the region. With the recent thrust in tourism literature suggesting that tourism research furthers the industry's development in communities, it is timely that more studies examine the tourism industry in the changing face of 'Nunavut'. This thesis is a case study presentation of a Nunavut community's experience with tourism. The research examines the changes and restructuring that have come about in the tourism industry since the signing of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, and whether community-controlled tourism is facilitated by these changes.The results of this research indicate that the basic needs of Kimmirut residents are not being met by current tourism policy. The community's entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to host tourists are not being fully recognized by industry and government, although the desire on behalf of the latter exists.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Rehabilitation))--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A qualitative study was utilised as it was appropriate for the study of attitudes of non-disabled people of Sakhisizwe towards people with disabilities (PWDs). This case study set out to: investigate the perceptions of people with disabilities with regard to attitudes towards them; examine the nature of attitudes toward people with disabilities; determine the impact and influence of attitudes on the integration of people with disabilities; and determine facilitators and barriers with regard to the integration of people with disabilities. This instrumental case study explored the attitudes of non-disabled people towards disabled people of Sakhisizwe Local Service Area in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The researcher used convenience sampling to select a group of disabled participants from a meeting of the disabled structure held at one of the clinics of Sakhisizwe, to form a focus group. In the focus group of disabled people, two participants were identified as information-rich and were selected using purposive sampling for further interrogation. A convenience sample was used to select mostly three diverse groups of non-disabled participants from youth (seven participants), clergy (seven participants), community members (10participants) and one group of disabled people consisting of six participants making a total of four groups to conduct focus groups interviews. Furthermore, three key informants (traditional healer, social worker and local councilor) from the community at large were also purposively selected. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews guided by interview schedules for focus groups, disabled individuals‘ interviews, as well as for the three key informants‘ interviews. To supplement the data, observation was done to study the behaviours of people with disabilities in the service centre towards non-disabled people, and vice versa. Data was analysed by the process of inductive thematic analysis in which four themes emerged. These were: attitudes of non-disabled people towards people with disabilities; determinants of different disabilities; challenges facing young people with disabilities; and confidence and self-esteem of people with disabilities. In conclusion, it is recommended that the community identify the general public education and awareness in order to change the negative attitudes that lead to social exclusion and marginalisation of people with disabilities.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die houdings van nie-gestremde persone teenoor persone met gestremdhede in Sakhisizwe is deur middel van ʼn kwalitatiewe studie ondersoek. Hierdie gevalstudie het ook nagevors hoe persone met gestremdhede hierdie houdings ervaar; die aard van die hierdie houdings; asook die impak en gevolg hiervan op die integrasie van persone met gestremdhede in die samelewing met spesifieke verwysing na fasilitators ('facilitators') of hindernisse. Hierdie waardevolle gevalstudie is in die Sakhisizwe Plaaslike Dienste Area in die Oos Kaap provinsie van Suid Afrika gedoen. 'n Fokusgroep is gekies deur middel van 'n gerieflikheidsteekproef ('convenience sample') uit ʼn groep persone met gestremdhede wat 'n vergadering oor gestremde bestuurstrukture by een van die plaaslike klinieke in Sakhisizwe bygewoon het. Uit die fokusgroep is twee deelnemers met ryk ervarings geïdentifiseer as doelbewuste streekproef ('purposive sampling') vir verdere onderhoude. Benewens die fokusgroep van 10 persone met gestremdhede, is drie verdere fokusgroepe vanuit die geledere van nie-gestremde persone gekies. Die groeperings was uiteenlopend en het deelnemers vanuit die volgende groepe ingesluit, naamlik: die jeug (sewe deelnemers), geestelike leiers (sewe deelnemers), en gemeenskapslede (10 deelnemers). 'n Verdere drie persone is doelbewus ('purposive sampling') as sleutel informante van die groter gemeenskap gekies (tradisionele geneser, maatskaplike werker en plaaslike raadslid). Data was deur middel van semi gestruktureerde onderhoude vir elk van die vier fokus groepe ingesamel. Hierdie data is aangevul deur die wedersydse gedrag van persone met gestremdhede en nie – gestremde persone waar te neem en te bestudeer. Deur middel van induktiewe tematiese ontleding ('inductive thematic analysis') van die data is vier temas geidientifiseer. Houdings van nie – gestremde persone teenoor persone met gestremdhede; bepalende faktore van verskillende tipes gestremdheid; uitdagings wat alle persone met gestremdhede in die gesig staar; asook selfvertroue en self-beeld van persone met gestremdhede. Ten slotte word aanbeveel dat die gemeenskap self die algemene opvoeding en bewusmaking ten opsigte van gestremde persone aanspreek sodat die negatiewe houdings wat lei tot sosiale uitsluiting en gemarginaliseerdheid ('marginalization') aangespreek kan word.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate the attitudes of the Bangladeshi disaffected pupils in Yr.10 & 11, their teachers, parents, career officers and significant members of Bangladeshi community, towards work-related learning and also to conduct an extensive examination into the effectiveness of work-related learning for Bangladeshi disaffected pupils at key stage 4. A mixed methodology design was employed. Quantitative methodology was used to develop and validate a questionnaire with 62 items to investigate the attitudes of the 328 research subjects towards work-related learning. A response rate of 889c (N=288) was obtained showing their overall positive attitudes towards work-related learning. Using Principle Components Analysis (PCA), two factors, 'skills for working life' (SWL) and 'learning opportunities'(LOP) were identified from an overall number of 17 factors with eigenvalue greater than 1. Factor 1 with an eigenvalue 14.88 accounted for 28% of the variance and consisted of 32 items. Factor 2 with an eigenvalue 3.06 accounted for 4.9% of the variance and consisted of 27 items. An internal reliability of 0.93 for factor one, and 0.88 for factor two, was found by using Cronbach's alpha. In the qualitative arm of the research, a case study approach was employed to determine the reasons for the attitudes and the extent of the effectiveness of work-related learning within a Bangladeshi community at Key Stage 4. By purposive sampling 24 people were selected for in-depth interviews from both extremes of attitudes - those who either strongly agreed or strongly disagreed - within quantitative sample. The themes that emerged included skills for working life, learning opportunities and utilisation of traditional practical skills through out-of-school context. Overall, the National Curriculum was inappropriate for many pupils, religion and culture were not seen as barriers to education, and work-related learning programmes reduced the disaffection of pupils within the Bangladeshi community. Finally the research concludes with suggestions for the Bangladeshi community, schools, the Department for Education and Skills, the Careers Service, employers, parents and other partners involved in work-related learning programmes.

Manion, Donna M. "Roles and Attitudes of Males and Females in The Anarchist Punk Community." VCU Scholars Compass, 2007. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/791.
Full textAbstract:
Sexism is a widespread social problem that exists throughout the world today. It persists within the dominant culture, as well as in various subcultures, including the punk subculture (Daugherty 2002; Leblanc 1999; McRobbie 1991; Rosenberg and Garofalo 1998). Nijole Benokraitis and Joe Feagin's (1995) theory of sexism posits that subtle sexism is the unequal and harmful treatment of women that is typically less visible than blatant sex discrimination. This particular type of sexism may often go unnoticed, as society has internalized subtle sexist behaviors. Empirical research on subtle sexism has been conducted in various settings, such as the employment, academic, and military sectors of society (Benokraitis 1997). However, this theory has not been adequately applied to subcultural research. This research investigates whether subtle sexism exists within a group of self-identified anarchist punks who contend their primary tenets/principles dictate that they reject all forms of inequality. Moreover, if sexism does exist within the AP subculture, eradication of this problem within this community may be a daunting task -- as sexism may persist in subtle, invisible, and obstinate ways. This exploratory and descriptive research will utilize interviews of fifty men and women to examine if sexism exists, specifically in a subtle manner, and, if so, to illuminate manifestations of sexism within the anarchist punk community. Additionally, this study engages Benokraitis and Feagin's (1995) sexism theory to a non-traditional, subcultural setting.
