Full textAbstract:
The study of self within psychology has been limited in a number of ways. Two sets of empirical studies extended the study of self beyond traditional trait-based self-perception. In the first set of studies, seven hundred and eighty-nine adults listed their multiple “self-aspects” that represent meaningful elements of their lives and completed trait ratings for each of their self-aspects. The similarity between trait responses for the different self-aspects indicated the degree of “self-complexity” for a participant, as well as the degree of “self-integration.” Results replicated previous findings indicating that lower self-complexity is associated with higher well-being, and that network-based approaches for measuring self-complexity were more strongly with well-being. Finally, participants who completed the same task 3 weeks later demonstrated an increase in self-integration. Broadly, the results demonstrate that network-based approaches are an effective metric for studying the structure of the self and that future work may have success using networks to inform identity-based interventions.
In the second set of studies, five hundred and ninety-four adults completed studies about personal identity and morality. Participants imagined that some trait about someone had changed and were asked to indicate the degree to which the trait change would change the person’s identity. Comparisons of interest examined the degree to which moral trait changes led to more perceived identity change than non-moral trait changes and the degree to which imagining changes to oneself versus to another person yielded differences in perceived identity change. Results replicated previous work indicating that morals lead to most perceived identity change and find that changes to self yielded large perceived identity change than changes to a friend. Moreover, neuroimaging work revealed that thinking about identity change for both targets recruits regions of the cortical midline and that thinking about moral trait words does not recruit any regions compared to thinking about non-moral trait words, challenging previous assumptions about the nature of self-perception and personal identity. Results from both sets of studies were integrated with philosophical and translational perspectives to consider the overall contributions to real-world, self-control issues and broader questions about the nature of the self.

Full textAbstract:
In this self-study, my role as an external consultant in reframing a professional learning design at one school site is examined during the 6th year of the consultancy. Specifically, this research explores more deeply my role in developing and implementing a differentiated professional learning model, focused on building teacher ownership and choice. It builds on the history of the previous 5 years of the consultancy.
The key question being examined is:
How has my work, as an external math consultant in introducing a new differentiated professional learning model, impacted on teachers’ practice? Sub-questions include,
(a) How did the participants respond to the changed professional learning design and why;
(b) How has the implementation of the differentiated professional learning design influenced me in my growth as a consultant and why?
In the self-study I employed a range of data sources so as to gain various perspectives from participants involved with the implementation of the differentiated professional learning design. These included semi-structured individual interviews with teachers before and after the implementation of the professional learning cycle, an interview with the Principal, a participant focus group interview mid-way through the cycle conducted by a critical friend, a substantive conversation with the critical friend, and reflective journal entries. The data were gathered and presented with narrative account methods to ascertain the teachers’, the Principal’s, and my own stories and multiple perspectives on experiences regarding the implementation of the reframed design. The theoretical framework of interrelated components of professional knowledge landscapes, reflective practice, and social and situated learning provide the basis for the analysis of the data.Thesis (Professional Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study are to examine the relationship of self-efficacy
regarding self-management of asthma and student self-management knowledge and also
examine the extent to which self-efficacy and self-management knowledge predicts
student outcomes such as reading grades, the number of times a student was absent and
the number of visits a student made to the school nurse. Students were sampled from
one public school district within a suburban city in the southwest portion of the United
States. The sample was comprised of 33 males and 12 females ranging in age from six
to eleven years of age.
Three data collection instruments were developed for this study. Parents of the
participants were asked to fill out a demographic survey to provide descriptive data.
Participants of the study were administered two face-to-face interview surveys: The
Asthma Student Self-Management Knowledge in a School Setting Survey (SMS) and the Asthma Self-Efficacy of Self-Management of Asthma Survey (AMES). Both surveys
were developed based on the six lesson topics of Open Airways.
Two separate data analyses were conducted based on the data collected from
each participant. To better understand the relationship between the AMES and the SMS,
a Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used in the regression analysis.
The findings showed that there was a statistically significant positive relationship
between the SMS and the AMES. To determine if the AMES and the SMS could predict
reading grades, the number of times a student was absent and the number of visits a
student made to the school nurse, a multiple linear regression was used. The findings
showed that there is minimal evidence showing that only reading scores maybe predicted
by asthma self-efficacy and asthma self-management knowledge.
Taking into account identified limitations such as not taking into account the
severity of the participant??s asthma, one would be cautious to generalize these findings
to other children with asthma. Based on these results and limitations, recommendations
for future practice and for future research are provided.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to investigate self-concepts among middle school females. A nine-week self-concept enhancement program is implemented and utilized as the treatment condition. The self-concepts of all participants are assessed and monitored in nine-week intervals. The instrument, Student Self-Concept Scale assesses: (1) Self-Confidence in four areas: self-image, academic, social, and composite; (2) Importance of: self-image, academic, and social, and (3) an Outcome-Confidence composite. The results indicate that statistically significant differences exist at the pretest in two subscales: academic importance and social importance. At the posttest, statistically significant differences are detected in the academic importance subscale and in the outcome confidence composite. Overall, the results illustrate positive trends within the treatment group for each domain of the self-concept scale, with the exception of the decreased importance that all participants placed on self-image. Nine-week delayed tests in the experimental group reveal that increases from the posttest are maintained.

Full textAbstract:
Encouraging reflective leadership practice is a recognised focus for coaches and consultants in primary schools. Despite the wealth of knowledge on coaching and consulting in organisational learning, there is less known about the transition between these two interactions and the purpose behind this. This self-study of my practice as a regional school improvement officer in Victoria, Australia, details my interaction with six teacher-leaders, who considered school improvement strategies by constructing a pattern-block representation of the structures within their schools. The research questions posed were: “What do teacher-leaders reflect upon when considering school improvement approaches?” and “How does the external facilitator encourage teacherleaders to reflect upon their practice?” Research undertaken for this study was used to develop a range of statements related to Donald Schön’s theory of reflective practice, particularly reflection-in-action. The statements were presented as a stimulus for action in practice and encompassed a range of tensions. Tensions included; orchestrating change by moving between the current situation and a preferred future; making connections by acknowledging the complexity of the situation whilst attempting to create order; developing a strategy from the consideration of a shared vision and a written plan; and undertaking leadership by moving between hierarchical, distributive and self-organising structures. Tacit and explicit knowledge was evident when reflecting-inaction. Finally I explored how, as the external facilitator, I encouraged reflection by moving between coaching and consulting interactions. I began this research by examining the practice of others. However, the greatest learning I achieved related to how I reflected-in-action and my understanding of self-study in practice. Initially in this study, I placed myself at the centre of the research and considered this a selfin- study; however, as the study progressed, I examined both my practice and the research simultaneously, terming this self-and-study, and, finally, from my analysis of the research when the study concluded, I developed a series of statements that could be used as a stimulus for future action, which I refer to as self-from-study. The larger implication for this research therefore relates to my understanding of my own reflection-in-action and how by embracing a number of tensions one can consider a range of possibilities for improvement.Doctor of Philosophy

Boychuck, Randy David. "A critical incidents study of self esteem." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1985. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/25352.
Full textAbstract:
The intent of this study was twofold. It was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an experiential program which' purportedly enhanced self esteem in gay men. In addition, it aimed to discover what events and human experiences facilitate self esteem. The eight gay male participants who volunteered for the self esteem program were also employed to obtain data which was used to discover factors which facilitate self esteem.
Flanagan's (1954) critical incidents technique was used to discover what facilitates and hinders self esteem in everyday life. A category system of factors facilitating self esteem was induced from critical incidents data obtained in a preliminary interview and from a journal of significant events which participants submitted throughout their involvement in the program.
The program evaluation was based on three sources of information. The participants were compared with a control group of eight gay males on Rosenberg's (1965) Scale of Self Esteem both before and after their involvement in the program. They were also subjects in preliminary and summary, open-ended, interviews which were designed to assess changes in self esteem and to discern the degree to which initially stated goals and expectations were fulfilled by their participation in the program. In addition, critical incidents questions in the summary interview assessed how, and the degree to which, the program incorporated the factors which facilitate self esteem in everyday life.
The names given to the eighteen categories of behaviours, events and/or experiences which were found to facilitate self esteem in everyday life are as follows: appreciation, affiliation, recognition, acceptance, honesty, self acceptance, self support, forgiveness, contributing, performance, confidence, accomplishment, sense of progress, overcoming, self care, belonging, social comparison, and independence. Given the exploratory and descriptive nature of this study, these factors constitute an initial model of what facilitates self esteem that needs to be tested using appropriate methods of verification.
Interview data indicated that the experiential program facilitated the self esteem of seven of the program's eight participants. One participant reported that self esteem remained unchanged from the preliminary interview. Participants described six primary types of change: increased self confidence; increased self acceptance; improved capacity to engage in, strengthen and maintain satisfying interpersonal relationships; increased self knowledge; improved self discipline; and resolutions to existential questions. In addition, summary interview data revealed that participants were able to specify experiences, activities and events occurring within the context of the program which were representative of every facilitative category. Moreover, the relative absence of reported hindering incidents indicates that the hindering effect of the program on self esteem is negligible.
Quantitative results did not corroborate the qualitative evidence for increased self esteem. An analysis of covariance applied to self esteem scores did not produce a significant difference between the participants and a control group.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of becoming a more substantial self was investigated using the case study method. The co-researcher, Mary, was interviewed to elicit her experience of the phenomenon. Understanding was built up through collection of data from a variety of sources including early recollections, a diary, and interviews with friends and associates. The data were analyzed and Cochran's dramaturgical method was used to discover the coherent pattern of meaning. A rich, detailed description of the case was then written and summarized.
It was found that, for Mary, substantiality involved childhood experiences of powerlessness, incompetence, and lack of social acceptability. In response to these experiences she had formulated the position that she must defend against those painful vulnerabilities by presenting herself as strong person. Implicit in this was the assumption that she was powerless, incompetent and unacceptable and, as a result, dependent on external support.
At the age of 33, Mary reached a point where her life circumstances defeated the viability of this position. She felt humiliated and defeated and could see no solution. It was then that she had a supportive spiritual experience and, at the same time, an experience of gentle confrontation from a supportive authority figure. This was the beginning of a 7-8 year transition period which involved two central processes. One process involved a kind of letting go or opening up, the other involved a movement forward involving risk, effort and action. Through many and various experiences Mary experienced that if she let go of her social mask of invulnerability and accepted herself as she was, with painful feelings and imperfections, she arrived at an experience of harmony with herself, other people and the world in general. Profoundly interwoven with this was the process of risk, effort and action. In supportive contexts, Mary began to apply herself and to discover her capacities. She began to take larger and larger risks until she came to experience herself as a competent person capable of pursuing her goals.
The emergence of the substantial self was marked by the experience of the self as a capable social being and a harmonious spiritual, physical, and emotional being. Mary's life is no longer oriented around protecting vulnerabilities but around using her full capacities to accomplish social goals while staying in touch with her spiritual self.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines, first, the juridicial nature of the right to self-determination as a human right, evolving primarily from the nationalist feelings of a group of people. The American and French Revolutions are examples of external and internal self-determination, respectively, developing from the nationalist feelings. Second, an examination has been undertaken of the basic reasons for a claim to the right to self-determination, out of which unequal treaties and forceful annexation have been argued to be the most important. Third, it has been submitted that the rights to self-determination and to resistance are intertwined, and that the right to resistance matures when all peaceful means of restoring the rights of a group of people fail. Fourth, the whole discussion of the right to self-determination and resistance is applied to Hawaii, which was annexed by the United States through a coercive and unequal treaty in the late nineteenth century. Thus, the thesis examines the validity of the Treaty of Annexation and supports the idea that native Hawaiians have a right to self-determination under international law, and never gave up their right to remain independent. Finally, the thesis recommends some measures to be adopted in order for native Hawaiians to regain their lost independence.

Full textAbstract:
The underrepresentation of women in physics has been well documented and a source of concern for both policy makers and educators. My dissertation focuses on understanding the role self-efficacy plays in retaining students, particularly women, in introductory physics. I use an explanatory mixed methods approach to first investigate quantitatively the influence of self-efficacy in predicting success and then to qualitatively explore the development of self-efficacy. In the initial quantitative studies, I explore the utility of self-efficacy in predicting the success of introductory physics students, both women and men. Results indicate that self-efficacy is a significant predictor of success for all students. I then disaggregate the data to examine how self-efficacy develops differently for women and men in the introductory physics course. Results show women rely on different sources of self-efficacy than do men, and that a particular instructional environment, Modeling Instruction, has a positive impact on these sources of self-efficacy. In the qualitative phase of the project, this dissertation focuses on the development of self-efficacy. Using the qualitative tool of microanalysis, I introduce a methodology for understanding how self-efficacy develops moment-by-moment using the lens of self-efficacy opportunities. I then use the characterizations of self-efficacy opportunities to focus on a particular course environment and to identify and describe a mechanism by which Modeling Instruction impacts student self-efficacy. Results indicate that the emphasizing the development and deployment of models affords opportunities to impact self-efficacy. The findings of this dissertation indicate that introducing key elements into the classroom, such as cooperative group work, model development and deployment, and interaction with the instructor, create a mechanism by which instructors can impact the self-efficacy of their students. Results from this study indicate that creating a model to impact the retention rates of women in physics should include attending to self-efficacy and designing activities in the classroom that create self-efficacy opportunities.

The development of a viable self-calibration approach for use with non-metric cameras was investigated. Both computer generated and actual test camera data were generated to determine the effectiveness of the math model and computer program. A twenty-seven parameter bundle adjustment routine was proposed because of its versatility and compatible use in an existing aerotriangulation package. For the camera and test configuration considered, the focal length was recovered to within two percent, and the principal point location was recovered to wi thin O. 3 to twelve percent. When the computer generated data was used, the focal length and principal point offset were recovered to within 0.2 percent.
Modeling and software has been made available for a future comparative study between the self-calibration and Direct Linear Transformation adjustment parameters. The self-calibration modeling and former Direct Linear Transformation modeling software is a promising tool for mensuration tests and experiments with video and Charge Coupled Device (CCD) imagery.

Full textAbstract:
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die mikromagnetische Struktur sowie das Ummagnetisierungsverhalten epitaktisch gewachsener MnAs Filme auf dem Substrat GaAs untersucht. Im Mittelpunkt steht die mikromagnetischen Struktur von anisotrop erspannten MnAs Filmen auf GaAs(001). Die Verspannung führt zur selbstorganisierten Anordnung ferromagnetischer Streifen. Ihre Domänenstruktur wurde mittels MFM (magnetischer Kraftmikroskopie) bestimmt und mit den Resultaten der XMCDPEEM (X-ray magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy) verglichen. Um eine vollständige Charakterisierung der mikromagnetischen Eigenschaften der Streifenstruktur zu erreichen, wurden die MFM Experimente in einem äusseren Magnetfeld durchgeführt. Die Beantwortung der zentralen Frage nach der Domänenstruktur ist mit der Entwicklung eines mikromagnetischen Simulators für dreidimensionale magnetische Strukturen auf mesoskopischer Skala gelungen. Die Stabilität der dreidimensionalen mikromagnetischen Struktur hängt von den Eigenschaften der selbstorganisierten Streifenstruktur ab, d.h. sowohl von der Filmdicke als auch vom Verhältnis ihrer Breite zur Filmdicke - und damit der Temperatur. Durch die Erkenntnis, dass eine magnetische Struktur in der Tiefe des Streifens vorhanden ist, können die verbleibenden Unterschiede in den XMCDPEEM- und MFM-Resultaten erklärt werden. Durch die Simulationsergebnisse in Kombination mit den Experimenten wird eine widerspruchsfreie Deutung der mikromagnetischen Struktur sowie deren Ummagnetisierungsverhalten ermöglicht. Zudem wird die mikromagnetische Struktur von MnAs auf GaAs(111) simuliert und damit das Verständnis der mikromagnetischen Strukturen auf alle vorhandenen Substratorientierungen vervollständigt.In the present thesis the micromagnetic structure, as well as the magnetization reversal, of epitaxial MnAs films on GaAs substrates are studied. The investigation is focused on the micromagnetic structure of anisotropically strained MnAs films on GaAs(001). The strain originates a selforganized array of ferromagnetic stripes. The magnetic domains were investigated using MFM (magnetic force microscopy) and the results were compared with XMCDPEEM (X-ray magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy). To completely characterize the micromagnetic properties of the stripe structure, MFM experiments were performed in the presence of an external field. To unambiguously determine the domain structure a three-dimensional micromagnetic simulator was developed capable to calculate magnetic structures with mesoscopic dimensions. The stability of the three-dimensional micromagnetic structure depends on the properties of the selforganized stripe structure, i.e., on the film thickness as well as on the ratio of the stipe width to thickness - and thus the temperature. Taking into account the magnetization distribution in-depth, the remaining differences between the XMCDPEEM and the MFM results can be explained by the disturbing effect of the MFM tip. The results of the micromagnetic simulations, in combination with the experimental results, allow for a determination of the micromagnetic structure in an applied field throughout the phase coexistence regime. Moreover, the micromagnetic structure of MnAs films on GaAs(111) is simulated and thus the understanding of the micromagnetic properties have been extended on all substrate orientations.

Self service providers are making such systems which offer faster and more flexible service to the user. Most of us are familiar about self service technologies such as Kiosk, Auto Teller Machine, Self Check in machine, Self payment machine etc. Unfortunately, users are not using these SSTs commonly as advancement has been occurring in SSTs. Sometimes, people look annoyed and feel fear to use such kind of technology at public spaces. Generally, these systems need interaction between users and technology to create service outcome instead of interacting with a service personnel. These technological interfaces have been called Self-service technologies (SSTs). Yet, not all users choose to use the new technologies and they still feel some hesitations to adopt this technologies in this case SSTs. This study investigated the factors that make users hesitate to use and adopt SSTs.

Full textAbstract:
Archived data was utilized for the present study which examined self-injurious behaviors in a college population. College students, who engage in non-suicidal self-injury, or NSSI, were expected to evidence a higher knowledge base for the behavior than those who do not. The demographic variables of gender and sexual orientation were predicted to be over represented in the NSSI group. Further, this study examines the perceived riskiness of the behavior in individuals who self-injure, as well as their perceptions of others who engage in NSSI. The survey consisted of four sections: demographics, knowledge ofNSSI, experience with NSSI, and perceptions ofNSSI. Individuals who engage in or have a history of NSSI evidence a higher mean score or better knowledge of the behavior than those who do not. The NSSI population evidences disproportionate numbers of females and individuals with gay, lesbian, and questioning sexual orientations. Further, when examining the perceived riskiness of self-injury, the NSSI group views the behavior as less risky than the non self-injury group. Results are discussed in relation to the need for accurate knowledge about NSSI and additional research directions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis constitutes a first large-scale study of literary self-translators and self-translations in Canada, with self-translation understood as interlinguistic and intertextual transfer where the same legal person is responsible for writing the antecedent and subsequent texts. Three main questions guide this investigation: To what extent is Canada fertile ground for self-translation? What does it mean to self-translate in Canada? Why does self-translation in Canada matter? After situating Canada-based research within broader self-translation scholarship, I engage in a critical analysis of the definition and implications of self-translation and contextualize the theoretical, sociopolitical and methodological rationale for studying Canada and adopting a macroscopic approach to examining self-translations and their writers in this country. The thesis predominantly revolves around self-translation artefacts produced by three groups of writers who self-translated in Canada at least once between 1971 and 2016: 1) those self-translating exclusively between English and French; and those self-translating into and/or out of 2) Spanish; or 3) standard Italian. Exploring the theme of collaboration, I propose a new typology of collaborative self-translation, attempting to account for both process- and product-related considerations. In examining the theme of frequency, I identify self-translators and discuss their relative distribution vis-à-vis language, generation, country of birth and location within Canada; I also map out a conceptual framework for defining and counting self-translation products, proposing new ways of understanding and classifying writers in light of their self-translational productivity. In considering the theme of language, I analyze how writers and their self-translations can be characterized in relation to language variety, language combinations and language directionality. In this thesis, I argue that Canada is a significant hub of heterogeneous self-translational activity, and that large-scale, quantitative and product-oriented study constitutes a useful research approach that can generate rich findings and complement other forms of investigation. The thesis also contains an extensive appendix in which I identify Canadian self-translators and their self-translations.

Full textAbstract:
As a teacher educator, I was concerned at the passive roles that pre-service teachers (PSTs) seemed to take in my outdoor education (OE) courses and I believed that more authentic (teacher-like) experiences would assist PSTs to take more active roles. Early in this research I developed a metaphor of PSTs as passengers on the long distance flight (their degree) to the destination (of teaching) to explain some of this passivity.
Using a self-study methodology, I examined a variety of ‘authentic’ learning experiences during a semester-long course. Guided by Schwab’s commonplaces, I accessed perspectives of learners, milieu, teacher educator and discipline to provide me with some certainty about the effects of my teaching.
The authentic learning experiences included my use of transparent teaching (open journaling and thinking aloud), modelling of proposed graduating teacher standards, fatality case studies and handing over control on an OE camp. As the research progressed, it became apparent that my initial framing of the problem of PST passivity was flawed. In particular, the most authentic experiences of teaching on the OE camp did not necessarily result in the active learning I had anticipated.
Through the self-study methodology, I came to realise that authenticity was impeding the learning of some students. I reframed my approach to teacher education and used Schwab’s eclecticism to also acknowledge the equal importance of passive learning, inauthenticity and teacher uncertainty. I argue that this eclectic approach provides a more nuanced and fuller understanding of teaching and learning in the OE course. Finally, I discuss the criteria within self-study for demonstrating improvement and representation of results.

Full textAbstract:
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.Department of Physiology and Health Science

In this thesis, the results of twenty-one months' ethnographic, clinical, and archival research into the social-structural, interpersonal, and psychopathological contexts of self-harm and self-inflicted death are presented. The thesis argues that acts of self-harm and self-inflicted death amongst Sinhalese Buddhists in the Madampe Division, northwest Sri Lanka, reflect the kinship structure. In turn, the kinship structure can be understood as a reflection of several hundred years' political economic change. Within this, suicidal behaviour can be viewed as a manifestation of three key issues: (1) the question of the 'inevitability' of kinship; (2) the ability of individuals to respond to their problems through other means; and (3) the political economic status of individuals within the social structure that defines that ability as well as psychological experience and response. I argue that when moral codes of kinship are brought into question and the individual finds him- or her-self accused of shameful behaviour, suicidal behaviour becomes more likely. In this context, suicidal behaviour stands as a denial of sociality, as a means by which the fundamental premise of shame can be rejected. Comparing two communities in the Madampe Division, I demonstrate how wider economic and social changes over the past couple hundred years have today manifested different structures and ideologies of caste, class, marriage, kinship, personhood, and religion in each. Given the highly localised specificity of such structures and ideologies, as well as their attendant psychological states, I am concerned to explain how Division-wide epidemiologies of self-harm and self-inflicted death mask various underlying problems and pathways to self-harm and suicide amongst groups of demographically similar people. In this way, I argue that suicidal behaviour reflect material relations and their idealisations.

Abstract Background: Procrastination or the tendency to delay various actions despite knowing that this delay will likely bring negative consequences, is a widespread phenomenon. It has been found to be especially common among college students and has been linked to various negative outcomes. Aim: The current study aimed to explore the relationship between procrastination and self-efficacy for self-regulation (belief in ones ability to successfully self-regulate) and grit (to pursue important goals over long periods of time with passion and determination, despite setbacks or distractions) in a sample of 208 Swedish university students. Method: Self-report measures relating to the relevant constructs were administered to the students and analysed using correlational and partial correlational tests. Results: Results indicated that procrastination were strongly negatively correlated with both grit and self-efficacy for self-regulation. Self-efficacy for self-regulation were also found to be a partial mediator of the relationship between grit and procrastination. Conclusion: More research is needed on the relationship between self-efficacy for self-regulation and procrastination. Additionally, a more conceptually valid scale to measure grit should be developed.Abstrakt Bakgrund: Prokrastinering eller, tendenser till att skjuta upp olika saker trots vetskapen om att förseningen troligen kommer medföra negative konsekvenser, är ett utbrett fenomen. Prokrastinering har befunnits vara särskilt vanligt bland universitetsstudenter och har sammankopplats med en flera negativa konsekvenser. Syfte: Syftet med den aktuella studien var att undersöka relationen mellan prokrastinering, ”self-efficacy for self-regulation” (tilltron till sin egen förmåga att framgångsrikt utöva självreglering) och grit (förmågan att, med beslutsamhet och passion, jobba mot ett viktigt mål över långa tidsperioder, trots motgångar och distraktioner. Metod: Självskattningsskalor relaterade till de relevanta konstrukten delades ut till studenterna som deltoga i studien och test för korrelation och partiell korrelation användes för att analysera resultaten. Resultat: Resultaten indikerade att prokrastinering var starkt negativt korrelerad med både grit och ”self-efficacy for self-regulation”. ”Self-efficacy for self-regulation” visade sig också vara en partiell mediator mellan grit och prokrastinering. Slutsats: Mer forskning behövs kring relationen mellan ”self-efficacy for self-regulation” och prokrastinering. Ett mer konceptuellt valitt mätinstrument för grit behöver dessutom utvecklas.

Up until now, there has only been a limited amount of research in the field of online self- presentation in combination with young adults transitioning from a social to a professional self online. The purpose of this thesis is to extend the existing literature and address the gap by exploring how students present themselves before, during and after the transition from university to work. The study was built on the self-presentation theory by Erving Goffman (1959) in combination with the role identity theory as well as the career development framework by Donald Super (1980). To answer the research question and fulfill the purpose of this study an exploratory research method in combination with a qualitative, inductive research approach was chosen. Ten long, semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted using the long interview guide by McCracken. Individuals from Germany and Sweden between the ages of 21 and 26 were interviewed. The main findings showed that young adults categorize social media networks into two categories: private (social) and public (professional) applications. Individuals of the establishment phase meaning after transition to work represent a more professional self and alter other parts of the self. This process takes place over time and the representation of a professional self increased in importance and relevance. Individuals of the exploration phase meaning before transitioning to work show intentional behavior patterns towards their social self but not professional self. Therefore, the further individuals move towards the next life phase the more the presentation of the self moves towards a professional and intentional appearance online when in front stage. When in backstage privacy settings enable a carefully chosen audience for the more private self to be shared. The process of online self-presentation on social media is still a more intuitive process but the transition between different types of self can be linked to a stronger identification with a new life role.Fram tills nu har det endast gjorts en begränsad mängd forskning inom online-självpresentation i kombination med unga vuxna som övergår från ett socialt till ett professionellt online-jag. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utöka den befintliga litteraturen och ta itu med kunskapsgapet genom att utforska hur studenter presenterar sig före, under och efter övergången från universitet till arbete. Studien byggdes på självpresentationsteorin av Erving Goffman (1959) i kombination med rollidentitetsteorin och karriärutvecklingsramen av Donald Super (1980). För att besvara forskningsfrågan och uppfylla syftet med denna studie valdes en explorativ forskningsmetod i kombination med en kvalitativ, induktiv forskningsstrategi. Tio halvstrukturerade djupintervjuer genomfördes med hjälp av McCrackens långa intervjuguide. Individer från Tyskland och Sverige i åldern 21 till 26 år intervjuades. De viktigaste resultaten visade att unga vuxna kategoriserar sociala medier i två kategorier: privata (sociala) och offentliga (professionella) användningsområden. Individer från etableringsfasen, som innebär fasen efter övergång till arbete, representerar ett mer professionellt jag i jämförelse med andra delar av jaget. Denna process sker över tid och representationen av ett professionellt jag ökade i betydelse och relevans. Individer i utforskningsfasen, vilket innebär fasen innan övergång till arbete, visar avsiktliga beteendeförändringar mot sitt sociala jag men inte mot det professionella jaget. Följaktligen, desto längre individer rör sig mot nästa livsfas, desto mer rör sig självpresentationen mot ett professionellt och avsiktligt framträdande online när de befinner sig på den publika scenen. När de befinner sig i bakgrunden kan det mer privata jaget delas för en noggrant utvald publik. Processen med självpresentation online på sociala medier är fortfarande en mer intuitiv process men övergången mellan olika typer av jag kan kopplas till en starkare identifiering med en ny livsroll.

Everyone takes self-portrait photos, but a self-portrait photo is often regarded as "naked" photo. Actually, everyone takes photos of himself under the situation when the equipment is easily obtained and cheap. An activity of taking a self-portrait involves the one who take a photo of himself, the machine he uses, and the connotation of the photos. A self-portrait photographer is not only a consumer of a product-accumulated world, but also a player who does not have a specific goal and does not intent to create a particular meaning. Since a self-portrait photographer takes himself as an object photographic in the process of photographing, he is interested in himself,it relates with the concern of the self-portrait photographer and the interest of the outside world. In this situation, at the place of the subject and the desire of the self-portrait photographer, we can find that the subject sometimes coincides with the relation of desire. All the things of desire will be represented in the self-portrait photo. When we look at self-portrait photo, it likes looking into mirror. Everyone might like and hate the mirror at the same time. The charm from the mirror proves that everyone likes the images of himself. Using the mirror or camera at school or working is not allowed, but in our resting time, we can change the instrument as a toy. In self portrait situation, we can show ourselves anytime and anywhere, and at the same time interact with others. Although all these mean nothing and aren't productive, this is also the reason why the self-portrait photography is so attractive. keywords: digital self-portrait photo, Internet, mirror, psychoanalysis, self-portrait, game, camera, mobile phone

This study examines the current status of self-directed learning readiness in nursing students and explores how background factors affect self-directed learning readiness. The design of this study is based on cross-sectional survey. A foreign questionnaire of Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale（SDLRS）is translated into Chinese scale. A total of 550 students are recruited from two institutes of technology which are one from 2-year nursing students of northern Taiwan and another from 4-year nursing students of southern Taiwan. The convenience sampling is used to collect data and there are 537 valid questionnaires finally. Data analyses include frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and One-way ANOVA. The results indicated that the self-directed learning readiness of nursing students between 20-21 years old is significantly higher than that of those over 22 years old; the self-directed learning readiness of nursing students over 22 years old is significantly higher than that of those between 18-19 years old. The self-directed learning readiness of 2-year nursing students is significantly higher than that of those in extension education; the self-directed learning readiness of 2-year nursing students at Extension Education Department is significantly higher than that of 4-year nursing students. On the other hand, the desire for learning of 2-year nursing students is significantly greater than that of 4-year nursing students. The desire for learning of 4-year nursing students is greater than that of those at 2-year Extension Education Department. The self-directed learning readiness of nursing students who highly recognize nursing profession is significantly higher than that of those who generally recognize. Meanwhile, the self-directed learning readiness of nursing students who generally recognize is higher than that of those who commonly acknowledge.

The study aimed to construct the self-study process in universities. It is also a reference for a university to establish self-study mechanism. Fuzzy Delphi Method and semi-structured interview were adopted as the main research methods. Initially, a framework of the questionnaire was developed for “The Self-Study Process in University.” Moreover, thirty academics in education fields, groups of school evaluators, and school administration staff were invited to offer opinions and recommendations for composing a Fuzzy Delphi as well as for the selections of process and works. Accordingly, researcher produces the final and official questionnaire for “The Self-Study Process in University.” And then, the semi-structured interview was used to collect 3 academic opinions. In order to explore ways to promote self-study in university supporting measures. In accordance with the above research methods, the findings of the analyses are stated as the followings: 1. The self-study process in university contains six stages: plan and consult, organize and design, collect data and prepare, implement and execution, write report and spread, improve and sustainable manage and thirty-four works, which are all applicable. 2. In order to promote self-study mechanism in university, there are six supporting measures need to do. Including the Department of Education may develop a self-study approach as a reference of university, the Department of Education may entrust Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council to assist university to establish self-study mechanisms, the Department of Education may compose a self-study works guidebook, university should conduct a workshop for school members, university should set a dedicated units to co-ordinate matters of self-study, besides, university should prepare a fund for promoting self-study mechanism. Finally, some suggestions are provided in relation to the findings of the research, which can be a reference for a further study in the future for the Self-Study Process in University.

The term “Putative Self-Defense” generally refers to a situation where, a person mistakenly believes he or she is facing an immediate unlawful aggression and takes a defensive action, despite the fact that such aggression is inexistent. Handling such situations in criminal law has long been a controversial issue. In addition to the lack of explicit provisions in the law, the controversy arises from the different opinions relating to the basic theories of criminal law, such as the criminal theory system, the illegality theory, and the legal status of intention in criminal theory system. Therefore, rather than focusing on the discussion of “Putative Self-Defense”, much attention should be given to study and understand those basic theories in order to clarify the root of such controversy. If “Putative Self-Defense” and “Excessive Self-Defense” occur concurrently, which known as “Excessive Putative Self-Defense”, handling such situation can also become a problem in criminal law. The problem involves defining the scopes of “Putative Self-Defense” and “Excessive Self-Defense”, managing the situations in “Putative Self-Defense”, and understanding the legal basis of reducing or remitting the punishment for “Excessive Self-Defense”. Thus, solving the problem is often debatable. In order to address those problems, the study will first discuss the basic theories of criminal law, such as the criminal theory system, the illegality theory, and the legal status of intention in criminal theory system. After establishing a basic framework of those basic theories, the study will review the feasibility of the different approaches in handling “Putative Self-Defense”, and attempt to find a solution consistent with those basic theories. Then, the study will redefine the scopes and the concepts of “Putative Self-Defense” and “Excessive Self-Defense” in order to further define the concept of “Excessive Putative Self-Defense”. Furthermore, the study will discuss the feasibility of applying the legal effect of “Excessive Self-Defense” when an unlawful aggression is inexistent. Finally, based on the aforementioned perspectives, the study will propose a solution to handle cases in ”Excessive Putative Self-Defense”. Through the discussion, the study hopes to provide an insight into settling some of the issues in “Putative Self-Defense” and “Excessive Putative Self-Defense”, as well as providing a basic framework for future studies.

In this study, we use epoxy as our base material. The self-healing microcapsules are prepared by Polylatic Acid (PLA) and epoxy with a core shell structure, of which epoxy are covered by PLA. We design the formula using two crosslinkers that react at diffrernt temperature range, namely, the low temperature hardener (Diethylenetriamine) and the high temperature hardener (Dicyandiamide) are the two kinds of hardener we use. The experiment can be mainly divided into fine parts. (1), Effects of DETA and catalyst (MI). Second, under the same condition of the first part, but replace the DETA hardener with DICY. Third, the effect of adding self-healing microcapsules into the first part of the experiment. The fourth part is the combination of the three parts above. By using DETA and DICY hardener simultaneously. The fifth and the final part is the sample testing stage. We used impact test to know if the self-healing mechanism is working. According to the result, the addition of DICY hardener can affect the reaction temperature and enthalpy. Yet DETA hardener can only change the enthalpy but not reaction temperature, because MI have a better catalytic effect on high temperature hardener DICY. In addition, we found out that the exist of microcapsules won’t interference the thermal property of the whole system. Lastly, the self-healing microcapsules are proved to be functional due to the result of impact test and the repair efficiency can be easily control by the quantity of microcapsules. In our system, the impact intensity can repair up to about 6%-11%.

The purpose of this thesis is the study of excessive self-defence in Criminal Code of the Republic of China (Taiwan). In the Article 23 of Criminal Code, “If the force of defense is excessive, punishment may be reduced or remitted.” Nevertheless, since the structure of the Article 23 is quite simplified, there remain many problems in the ways of explanation and application of this Article. The study is trying to explore the most suitable theories for this article. There are seven general components to this thesis. Chapter 1 includes the research motivation, purpose, methods and scope of this thesis. Besides, introduces the legislative history of excessive self-defence in the Republic of China (Taiwan), and relevant legislation in contemporary German law. Chapter 2 describes the legal basis of excessive self-defence. If the perpetrator exceeds the limits of necessary self-defence, why could he not be punished? The development of Germany could be our important reference objects. Chapter 3-5 discuss the constituent elements of the Article 23. Chapter 3 and 4 focuses on the objective requirements of excessive self-defence. There are two different situations. First, the defender exceeds the measure of self-defence (“intensiver Notwehrexzess”). Second, from the perspective of time, the defender exceeds the period of self-defence (“extensiver Notwehrexzess”). Chapter 5 examines the subjective requirements of excessive self-defence. Is application of the Article 23 depends on the consciousness of defender? Chapter 6 analyzes the legal effects of the Article 23 and tries to clarify the distinguishing criterion of different effects. Chapter 7 delivered the opinion to the Article 23 in criminal code of the Republic of China (Taiwan). And the study provides the opinion of modifying the article currently.

The writer wrote ‘Study on Self-emotion Image Record to express her feeling of the timeliness of life and seek for existing value in every stage in life by taking herself life experience as observational objects, so as to manifest the implications reflected by emotional conditions of current life. That is to start from life course, take self-lifestyle as entry point, express unconscious complicated emotions controlled by rationality, and explore the spirituality and aesthetic culture of external behavior impacted by internal emotion. I hope this creation study can perfectly explain the images of internal emotion at every stage under the condition of possessing both theory and concepts, and try to reflect and understand valuable points of life and existing aesthetic feeling and value. Based on the above concepts, the study is divided into the following outlines: Chapter One: Introduction: elaborate research motivation, purpose, methods and applications. Chapter Two: Self-portrait thinking trait and creation spirit in western paintings: the content of this chapter belongs to literature review part. In this part, documentation is sorted out and summed up to explore art creators’ creational images on body, heart and soul level implications of background life in art history. It is not only to upgrade the internal thinking of creators, but also help creators to find out suitable and appropriate image language on the implementation of creation and concept. Chapter Three: The creational concept and practice of ‘Self-emotion Image Record’: the chapter starts from self-image message and traits, which are used as the start point of creation concepts; then Application of Creation Skills, Application of Calligraphy Lines, and Application of Oracle Bone Inions Chart are used as the manifestation of creation skills; at last, the creational course and practice are manifested through staged creation of four subjects-Eat but Could not Swallow Down Series, Leisurely Express Series, Happiness of Swaying Skirt Series, and Seaside Awareness Series. Chapter Four: The creational works analysis of ‘Self-emotion Image Record’. This chapter is divided into three big sections. Section One: Overview of Staged Creational Works, which integrate the overview of creation time, application of skills, color manifestation of all creational works; Section Two: Analysis of Main Creational Works, in which seven main works are used as examples to explain creation concepts, subject content, forms and skills, and overall manifestation; Section Three provides all works that were used as reference during creation period for audiences to compare and make reference. Chapter Five: Conclusion: Increase personal creation thinking and capacity from the beginning, continuation, transfer, and combination of the overall creational research; explain the combination of painting creation and internal emotion manifestation on the basis of the integration of creational practice, so as to show ‘heart and soul language’ and ‘life value and aesthetic feeling’, unbind the chains of life images, ‘pursue for dreams’, ‘seize the moment’, ‘take action timely’, supplement the color and skill manifestation of paintings, and keep on making progress, which are the prospect and expectation for future creations.

In this thesis , we first describe how to use double- grating interferometer as a tool to check the degree of collimation of the wave from an optical system , the good collimated light is convenient for self-imaging analysis and observation . Then we explain how to use PostScript programing to create files for various amplitude transmission objects which are different in basic pattern of unit cell and in cell numbers . The designed objects are produced by high resolution imagesetter from the PostScript file . By using the concept of angular spectrum , we discuss the basic idea of self-imaging . In our experiment , the object is illuminated by parallel light . We record the propagated pattern of the object wave at different talbot distance with CCD camera . It seems that the recorded patterns for the objects of only 4 cells are very different from original patterns not only in the first talbot distance but also in the second talbot distance . The result from 16 cells objects are close to original objects but not good enough . As for the objects with 64 cells , the observed patterns are almost identical to original objects . To explain the experimental result , we draw the amplitude spectrum of the propagated wave at two different talbot distances for the object with different basic pattern of unit cell and cell numbers . From the spectrum analysis , it is very clear to see how the fidelity of the image depend on the number of cells , the distance that the image was taken and the bandwidth of unit cells . Choosing these factors appropriately , we may obtain good self-imaging .

Self-organized criticality(SOC) was introduced by Per Bak in 1988. When thesystem reaches the critical state by SOC process, any minor perturbation might cause catastrophe. Bak proposed sandpile model to illustrate theidea of SOC. He used height difference to be a basic quantity. In this paper,we used height to be a basic quantity and compared to the results of experiments. The data demonstrates that randomness is a prime factor toform the power law.

This thesis was to study the self discharge of a supercapacitor. Carbon, alcohol and polyvinylidene fluoride were mixed uniformly by a homogenizer. Carbon slurry was coated on a titanium substrate by knife coating. Supercapacitors of cylindrical and parallel plate types were assembled. The self discharges of a single electrode, cylindrical and parallel plate supercapacitors were measured. The specific capacitance of a carbon electrode with binder of 66 wt% and heat treatment of 145 ℃ for 1 hr was 261.44 ± 5.26 (F/g). The self discharge of a single electrode was less obvious if the holding time was longer at charging. The cylindrical supercapacitor had least self discharge when the length of the space paper was twice that of the electrode. Nevertheless, the parallel plate supercapacitor had least self discharge when the length of the space paper was three times longer than that of the electrode. The parameters influencing self discharge including initial voltage, the rate of increasing voltage and the holding time at charging. The capacitance of the supercapacitor module, 20 supercapacitors assembled in series and charging with a 10 watt solar cell module, was 69.9 mF and the maximum discharging current was 0.113 A. With 5 minutes of charging and 5 or 80 minutes of open circuit, a 12V 3W LED was lighted up by the supercapacitor module for 15 and 6 minutes, respectively. But with 5 minutes of charging and 120 minutes of open circuit, the supercapacitor module could not light up a 12V 3W LED due to self discharge. After the supercapacitor was charged by a large current, the impedance increased and the scanning electron microscope analysis showed that the contact between carbon and the substrate became worse.

The sense of self-location has been regarded as a key component of bodily self-consciousness, especially in the research of full-body illusions. Self-location—the sense of where I am in space—provides an experiential anchor for one’s interaction with the environment. In the studies of full-body illusions, many researchers have defined self-location solely in terms of body-location—the subjective feeling of where my body is. Although this view is useful, there is an issue regarding whether it can fully accommodate the role of 1PP-location—the sense of where my first-person perspective is located in space. In this study, I investigate self-location by comparing body-location and 1PP-location: using a head-mounted display (HMD) and a stereo camera, the subjects watched their own body standing in front of them and received tactile stimulations. In neurophilosophy lab, we manipulated their senses of body-location and 1PP-location in three different conditions: the participants standing still (Basic condition), asking them to move forward (Walking condition), and swiftly moving the stereo camera away from their body (Visual condition). In the Walking condition, the participants watched their body moving away from their 1PP. In the Visual condition, the scene seen via the HMD was systematically receding. Our data show that, under different manipulations of movement, the spatial unity between 1PP-location and body-location can be temporarily interrupted (p < 0.01). Interestingly, we also observed a “double-body effect” (p = 0.045). Our group further suggest that it is better to consider body-location and 1PP-location as interrelated but distinct factors that jointly support the sense of self-location. In addition, visual experience plays an important role in the sense of self-location. According to our results, visual experience has its locating contents including the sense of 1PP-location and the sense of body-location which contribute to shaping the sense of self-location. This idea could be also applied in explaining the higher self-location accompanied with the activation of temporal-parietal junction (TPJ) and in explaining autoscopic phenomena. Finally, I proposed bi-location is an ambiguous word, it has two meanings: double body-location and double 1PP-location, and both could be considered as ground for double-body effect.

This study is a narrative self-study that reflects on the relationship between knowledge of assessment practice and theory and factors that lead to a change in practice.
There are a variety of ways to use assessment as a teacher in school settings, and this paper explores how the researcher-subject developed and changed assessment practices to inform her teaching, to assist her students in attaining mastery of curricular outcomes, and to report student achievement to parents and school administrators.
While tackling this complex topic, one discovers there is not one best way to assess student learning. Deciding to learn more about assessment demonstrating a willingness to try new assessment methods, to grow from successes and failures, and to look introspectively and critically current assessment practices, the result can be a more valid assessment of what a student knows and can do, and a more informed understanding of good teaching and assessment practices.

The objective of this study is to identify the author/journal self-citation pattern by citation analysis and context analysis on the environmental engineering key journals which were published in between year 1999 to 2008. For the level of journal comparison, journal self-citation rate, impact factor, immediacy index, and journal h-index were analyzed under the conditions of containing as well as eliminating the self-cited data. On the other hand, the correlation between author self-citation and number of co-authors, age of reference article, location of reference in original articles, and author h-index were examined in the aspect of author difference. Results suggested that moderate significant correlation existed between the journal frequency self-citing and frequency self-cited rates. Those journals with higher self-citing rate tended to be more productive. The journal self-citation rate had no significant correlation with both impact factor and immediacy index. Under the conditions of containing or eliminating journal self-cited data, a high significant correlation between impact factor and 5-Year impact factor was identified but with a significant difference in the value. Analysis on longer period of h-indices showed similar pattern as on the analysis of impact factor. With shorter citation window of h-indices, self-citation rate and h- values were observed to be moderately correlated in some years. In the aspect of author difference, the self-cited rate of multi-authored articles was higher than single-authored ones. The correlation coefficient between the number of authors and author self-citation rate was law. Self-citing references were found to be more recent than those citations to others. Authors tended to cite their own previous published works in the introduction, result, and method sections. In the sections of method, result, and conclusion, self-citing references are more common than citing to others. No matter containing the self-cited data or not, insignificant effect was found on the author h-values and h-index. However, the correlation coefficients were strong between the author h-value and both their productivity and the number of total cited times. Based upon the results, suggestions were made as follows. When evaluating the environment technology related journal publication, using 2-Year impact factor and 2-Year h-index instead of longer period ones would be adequate in the citation window setting. Impact factor, immediacy index, and journal/author h-indices seemed all robust enough against self-citation. Thus, it is not necessary to eliminate the self-cited data when doing environmental technology related journal or author evaluation. The journal productivity should be taken into account when measuring journal self-citation rates. For surveying the self-citing rationality, each article’s introduction section could be a priority target.

The U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is developing technology for a concept that has the potential to be very effective in defending Navy platforms against high speed, sea-skimming, anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs). This concept uses a new kill mechanism, a wall of water, to provide a low cost, universal terminal defense system for Navy ships. This wall of water or water barrier is formed from the shallow detonation of multiple underwater explosive charges. To support the development and evaluation of the Water Barrier Concept, underwater detonation tests of scaled line charges were conducted by NSWCDD in July 1995 to determine the amount of water ejected into the air by subsurface detonation of continuous and discrete line charges. The above-surface plumes were generated by the underwater detonation of composition C-4 demolition blocks that were configured into continuous line charges that were 30 to 56 feet in length. Plumes also were produced from the sequential underwater detonation of discrete line changes that consisted of five to eight 10-pounds charges separated by 8 feet and fabricated from C-4 demolition blocks. Line charge depths and horizontal separation of discrete charges were chosen to maximize the amount of water ejected into the air. This project will study the validation of the mathematic model and computational code for predicting shallow depth explosion plume behavior and compared with the NSWCCD underwater detonation tests in detail. The model is based on a generalized formulation of hydrodynamics and uses an incompressible liquid assumption. This model will be validated by comparing a three-dimensional (3-D) computation to observations from NSWCDD experiments. Quantitative measurements of plume heights, diameters and plume profiles are also compared to the computational data by using 3-D model of discrete line charge, and 2-D models of continuous and discrete line charge. Finally, the explosive configuration studies based on computations of 2-D and 3-D line charges will be studied of producing an effective plume profiles.
