Mileva, Mila. "Within-person variability in social evaluation." Thesis, University of York, 2017. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/18034/.

Full text
Abstract:
When meeting someone for the first time, we not only extract a wealth of information about their age, gender, ethnicity, or mood, but we also evaluate them on social dimensions such as attractiveness, trustworthiness, or dominance. What makes these social inferences important and interesting is the fact that people agree with each other’s evaluations and that they can influence our attitudes and behaviours, even if evidence for their accuracy is only limited. Existing face evaluation models focus on the identity level, arguing that a person is either, say, trustworthy or untrustworthy, regardless of the many different ways they might look. Recent evidence, however, suggests that images of the same person can vary just as much as images of different people, i.e. people rather have trustworthy- or untrustworthy-looking images of themselves. Here, I explore the spread and magnitude of such within-person variability in social evaluation. This is accomplished by sampling natural face variability and using images with different pose, emotional expression, lighting, etc. that are representative of real life social interactions. In addition to idiosyncratic variability, experiments described here aim to examine social evaluation across gender and familiarity as well as investigate the implications of trait inferences for face recognition. I then address social evaluation across modality, integrating visual information from the face and acoustic information from the voice. My findings show comparable within- and between-person variability in social ratings and demonstrate that idiosyncratic variability alone can bring about significant changes in trait attribution. This suggests that social evaluation depends on both identity and image properties. Finally, I demonstrate the automaticity of audiovisual integration in social evaluation and show that the relative contribution of face and voice cues is different for the two fundamental social dimensions. Ultimately, this brings us a step closer to understanding integrated person perception.

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

Coia, Lesley Kathryn. "Conceptualising the person in personal and social education." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1992. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10018817/.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore implications of a necessary presupposition of a theory of the person in the aims of Personal and Social Education (PSE), with the aim of furnishing a conception of the person which retains a significant concept of personal agency in light of constraints on action. From the position that the concept of the person as agent is central to the aims of PSE, it is argued that given the tension between the conception of the person as autonomous and recognition of the plasticity of persons, the justification of the unity of persons suggests itself as a relevant and useful approach. This is held to provide a means of approaching issues of personhood which are central to the concerns of PSE and which also provides important insights into the some issues of agency. It is argued in the second chapter that the relation between a theory of personal identity and the aims of PSE which presuppose such a theory is best understood as one of interdependence. From this position, it is argued that the conception of the person as potentially autonomous does not necessitate acceptance of a strict identity or non-reductionist theory of personal identity. It is argued, on the grounds of internal coherence and the ideals evident in discussions of PSE, that the alternative, a continuity theory is preferable. In the fourth chapter the issue of constraints on the concept of the person and their effect on the acceptability of theories of personal identity is addressed. It is argued that certain constraints lead to the rejection of reductionism with respect to persons but do not affect the acceptability of a continuity theory or its importance. The argument supports the view that the concept of personal identity and the concept of the person are indeterminate and allow a qualified form of social ascriptivism. Implications of the conception of the person which has been argued for, are illustrated and explored in the fmal two chapters, where the discussion focuses on the use of students' autobiographical writing in PSE. The argument is made that the conception of the person argued for in the previous chapters has advantages over that contained in the traditional understanding of autobiography. Consideration of narrative and its role in making sense of experience leads to supplementation and refinement of the conceptualisation of the person advocated.

Abstract:
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker eventuella risker för person till person kommunikation som kan härstammar i användning av moderna tekniken och de sociala medierna. Syftet är att ta reda på vilka konsekvenser som förekommer när man överkonsumerar modern teknik och diverse sociala medier (t.ex. Facebook, Twitter, instagram och Myspace). Undersökningen kommer sedan ligga till grund för ett gestaltningsarbete där fokusen ligger på att söka en teknik som kan förbättra kommunikationen person till person genom att introducera personer inför ett problem som enbart kan lösas genom person till person kommunikation inom gruppen.
This bachelor thesis examines the potential risks of face to face communication that may occur during the use of modern technology and social media. The aim is to find out what kind of impact may occur when people over consume modern technology and various types of social media (e.g. Facebook, twitter, Instagram and Myspace). The study will then form a base for a digital game witch will focus on finding a way technology can improve communication face to face. The game will introduce the players to a problem that only can be solved by working and communicate with each other.

Abstract:
The study attempted to describe the needs, attitudes and opinions of epileptics. A total of 45 Epileptics participated in the research. Variables such as employment, problems faced by epileptics, legal and social services, epilepsy awareness, social stigma and future research were examined. A descriptive analysis was employed in this study. The results indicated that because of a lack of epilepsy education, job discrimination, direct services, and because of social stigmatism, the Epileptic is often faced with more problems that are associated with epilepsy than the epilepsy itself.

Full text
Abstract:
Compassion is one of the fundamental experiences which signify human existence. Person perception is the constructive process with which we form an opinion or judgment of another person. Two experiments (N =277) were conducted in this study. Experiment 1 examined the effects of a mindfulness meditation on compassion in a large sample of young adults. Participants (n =76) were randomly assigned to three groups. Participants in group 1 received the mindfulness meditation, group 2 received an alternate version of the mindfulness meditation (self-focus only), and participants in group 3 were asked to complete an attention task and read a geological text. It was hypothesized that mindfulness meditation is significantly associated with the experience of compassion. Results showed that participants in the experimental group 1 experienced significantly higher levels of compassion compared to participants in the control group 3. The participants in group 2 were not different from experimental group 1 or from control group 3. Gender differences in the effects of meditation on compassion were explored. Different measures yielded conflicting evidence for gender differences in experienced compassion. For the second experiment a Solomon four-group experimental design was employed to examine the possible effects of compassion on person perception. Participants (n = 201) were randomly assigned to 4 groups. The effect of pretesting impression formation on posttest performance was investigated. It was hypothesized that compassion has a significant effect on impression formation. The Stouffer's z -method was used to investigate this effect. Results indicated that participants in the experimental groups after completing a mindfulness meditation rated a target person significantly more favorable, compared to participants in the control groups. Results also indicated that pretest had no significant effect on post-test ratings of the impression formation task. Transcendental applications for the inducement and experience of compassion in psychotherapy and the role of compassion in human society are considered. Limitations of this study are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.

"Developing the cyranoid method of mediated interpersonal communication in a social psychological context : applications in person perception, human-computer interaction, and first-person research." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2015. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3327/.

Abstract:
This thesis revisits Stanley Milgram’s “cyranoid method” of interactive social psychological experimentation (Milgram, 2010a) and explores the technique’s empirical potential in several domains. The central component of the method is speech shadowing, a procedure that involves a person (the shadower) repeating in real-time words they receive through an innerear monitor by-way-of radio-relay from a remote source. Speech shadowing effectively creates a hybrid agent (a “cyranoid”) composed of the body of one individual (the shadower) and the “mind” (or more precisely, the words) of another (the source). Interactants naïve to this manipulation perceive speech shadowers as autonomous communicators, and this perceptual bias (the “cyranic illusion”) affords researchers the ability to inspect the effects of separately altering the physical (outer) and dispositional (inner) elements of an interlocutor’s identity in contexts involving spontaneous and unscripted face-to-face dialog. Four articles and two additional chapters have been developed for this thesis. Chapter 1, “Introducing and situating the cyranoid method” presents an overview of the cyranoid method alongside an analysis of documents pertaining to the method contained in the Stanley Milgram Papers archive at Yale University and situates the method in the context of the demise of the classical paradigm, or “golden age,” of social psychology. Chapter 2 (Article 1), “Replicating Milgram” (published in the Journal of Social Psychology under the title “Revisiting Milgram’s cyranoid method: Experimenting with hybrid human agents”), examines the cyranic illusion through replications of two of Milgram’s original pilot studies and discusses the method’s potential as a means of conducting person perception. Chapter 3 (Article 2), “Echoborgs: Cyranoids with computer program sources” (published in Frontiers in Psychology under the title “A truly human interface: Interacting face-to-face with someone whose words are determined by a computer program”), expands upon the traditional cyranoid method by exploring situations wherein a conversational agent (a computer program designed to mimic a human interlocutor) sources for a human shadower, thereby producing a special type of cyranoid known as an “echoborg”; the article places the echoborg within the context of android science, a field that uses humanlike machines as stimuli in social psychological research in order to explore various aspects of human interaction (Ishiguro & Nishio, 2007). Chapter 4 (Article 3), “Using echoborgs to assess intersubjective effort in human-agent dialog” (accepted for publication pending minor revisions in Computers in Human Behavior), combines conversation analysis techniques (e.g., Schegloff, 1992, 1993) with the echoborg method to investigate factors that influence how people repair misunderstandings that arise during dialog with conversational agents. Chapter 5 (Article 4), “Cyranoids in first-person, self-experimental research” (published in Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science under the title “The researcher as experimental subject: Using self-experimentation to access experiences, understand social phenomena, and stimulate reflexivity”), explores the history of researcher-as-subject self-experimentation in social psychology and illustrates how the cyranoid method can be used as a first-person means of directly experiencing the consequences of a transformed social identity through systematic self-experimentation. Finally, Chapter 6, “Cyranoid ethics,” discusses the various ethical concerns involved in cyranoid research, outlines how they were mitigated in the current thesis, and offers suggestions for ensuring positive research participant experience. As Milgram died before publishing any work on the cyranoid method, and as speech shadowing has seen relatively little application in social psychological experimentation, this thesis attempts to provide the initial basis for future iterations and variants of the method.

Abstract:
Abstract Sexual autonomy is the right and capacity of each individual to decide and make choices about whom, when, and how they express themselves sexually. Individuals with intellectual disabilities have frequently been marginalized, oppressed, and left out of discussions about sexuality placing them at risk of abuse, unsafe sex practices, and unplanned pregnancies. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the usefulness of person-centered planning techniques in the development of an individual service plan that address the social-sexual needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Purposeful sampling was used to select 8 participants for this study. Specific participants were selected because they possessed personal perspectives and experiences regarding person-centered planning techniques. Data collection included semi-structured, open-ended questions with face-to-face interviews and document review. Code development began with systematic organization of narrative data that was thematically analyzed using open-coding. Findings showed the person-centered individual service plan is a tool that can empower and promote social-sexual autonomy for individuals with intellectual disabilities if service and support administrators initiate a conversation about social-sexual activity. Implications for social change include increased advocacy for sexual autonomy, greater social acceptance of relationships, inclusive sexuality programming for individuals with intellectual disabilities and professional development training for service and support administrators.

Abstract:
Background: Being close to a person who suffers from a disease can mean a burden, as these tends to disregard own needs in favor of the person who is sick. Aphasia is a disorder that affects communication skills and is one of the most common complications due to brain damage. Aim: The main purpose of this literature study was to illuminate relatives experiences of living with a person with aphasia. Method: Nine scientific articles were analyzed with a qualitative manifest content analysis which resulted in three themes with subthemes: Emotional reactions: The impact on well-being, Changing social and emotional relationships; A changed everyday life: Obstacles in communication, Decreased social interaction, Being able to handle everyday; Increased need for support: To get information about the aphasia; Deterioration of the economy and the need for financial support. Result: It was revealed that relatives felt left aside in the care of their relative with aphasia, resulting in an increased need for information, support and relief. Conclusion: Therefore conclusion was that relatives should be asked by nurses of how much involved in the care of their sick relative they want to be or can be and how much support they need to be able to handle that.

Full text
Abstract:
In response to the millennial job-hopping fad and increasingly low retention rates organizations are facing, it is more important than ever that the best-fit candidate is chosen for the position and the organization. There are two common ways fit is typically defined: person-organization (P-O) fit is the congruence between an employee and the characteristics of a company; person-job (P-J) fit is the match between an employee’s knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) and the requirements of the job in the organization (Edwards, 1991; Kristof, 1996). A large pharmaceutical company developed a quality of new hire criterion measure as a function of both P-O fit and P-J fit; that measure is examined in the current study. Results were limited because there were only six quality of hire ratings for managers included in the data set. Furthermore, no significant differences were found in quality of hire ratings for individual contributors based on their division (i.e., human health, support function, scientist, manufacturing, or animal health). Because of limitations (e.g., small sample size) many ideas for future research are discussed.

Sammanfattning/AbstractSandberg, Helén (2020). En livsberättelse om skolgången för en person med PANS. Specialpedagogprogrammet, Institutionen för skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärande och samhälle, Malmö universitet, 90 hp.Förväntat kunskapsbidragPANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) eller PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) är en relativt ny och okänd diagnos inom skolan. Det är en autoimmun sjukdom som har neuropsykiatriska symtom men utlöses av infektion. Forskare menar att alla som arbetar inom skolan kommer att stöta på en eller flera elever som har PANS under sitt arbetsliv (Miglioretti, 2019, Doran, 2015). Därför är det av vikt att PANS uppmärksammas så att skolan kan ge bästa stöd för elever. Då det finns stor brist på information och forskning om PANS inom skolan är min förhoppning att genomförda studie ska kunna bidra med ökad kunskap om diagnosen och vara som en väckarklocka för skolväsendet att uppmärksamma elever med PANS.Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med undersökningen är att genom livsberättelseanalys öka kunskapen om diagnosen PANS samt hur skolan på bästa sätt kan bemöta elever med PANS och anpassa skolgången.Frågeställningar:-Hur har en person med PANS upplevt sin skolgång?-Vilka lärdomar kan skolväsendet dra ifrån denna berättelse?TeoriStudien har vägletts av livsberättelseanalys som metod men har även intagit ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv. I resultat och diskussionsdelen har en livsberättelse analyserats med hjälp av systemteori. Bronfenbrenners utvecklingsekologiska teori redogör hur en individs utveckling alltid är beroende av samspelet med sin miljö och sitt sammanhang. Livsberättelsen har studerats i förhållande till omgivningens olika system: mikro-, meso-, exo-, och makrosystem.  MetodLivsberättelseintervju har använts för att studera en person med PANS subjektiva upplevelse av skolgången. Livsberättelse är en lämplig metod då upplevelser av ett fenomen ska beskrivas ur ett längre tidsperspektiv (Fejes & Thornberg, 2019). Intervjun blir då retrospektiv då informanten reflekterar över tidigare erfarenheter och minnen. Det är inte en exakt avbildning av verkligheten som eftersträvats utan personens egen berättelse om sin upplevelse av skolgången.ResultatResultatet visar att informantens upplevelse är att hon har bemötts av en oförstående skola och ett oförstående samhälle. Sjukdomen PANS bröt ut när hon var 7 år men det dröjde tills hon blev 23 år innan hon fick rätt diagnos och behandling. Under grundskolan har hon blivit utsatt för övergrepp som att bli fasthållen när hon varit i affekt samt blivit avstängd och nekad undervisning under ett helt läsår. Vidare har både skola och vård skuldbelagt henne och föräldrarna.Vad skolan kan lära sig av denna livsberättelse är vikten av att alltid ha ett relationellt perspektiv och inte lägga problemet hos eleven eller dess föräldrar. Att ha gott samarbete mellan skola och hem och lyssna på barnet och föräldrarna är avgörande för att eleven ska få rätt stöd i skolan. Vidare behöver skolan hålla sig uppdaterad om nya diagnoser och aktuell forskning för att förebygga att elever bemöts av en oförstående skola som inte ger rätt hjälp i tid.Specialpedagogiska implikationerDet är viktigt att specialpedagoger håller sig informerade om nya diagnoser och om aktuell forskning för att kunna ge eleverna bästa stöd i skolan. När skolan missförstår en elevs problematik kan det få förödande konsekvenser. Specialpedagogen kan verka för att skolan utgår ifrån ett relationellt perspektiv på skolsvårigheter där lärare alltid lyssnar på eleven och föräldrarnas bild av situationen (Nilholm, 2012). Att ha en positiv elevsyn och alltid utgå ifrån att eleven vill uppföra sig om den kan (Hejlskov et al. 2017) är av stor vikt för alla elever, men särskilt för elever med PANS.

Abstract:
Inom psykologin har det länge varit intressant att studera personligheter för att förklara individers beteenden. Ett välstuderat beteendemönster är om personer är prosociala eller inte. Prosociala är generösa mot andra och icke-prosociala ser till sin egen vinning. Tidigare studier har visat att personlighetsegenskaper som Big Five och socioekonomisk status kan påverka en persons generositet och förmodligen predicera prosocialitet. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka personlighetsegenskaper som predicerar att en person är prosocial. Social önskvärdhet kontrolleras för att se om personer som beter sig socialt önskvärt även var prosociala. Social Value Orientation, ett ekonomiskt spel, användes i studien för att mäta om en person var prosocial. Resultatet baserades på 131 undersökningsdeltagares svar på en enkät. En multipel regressionsanalys visade att ingen prediktor förutom socioekonomisk status var relaterad till om en person var prosocial. Dock gick samtliga variabler i förutspådd riktning vilket är värt att lyfta fram.

Abstract:

Human voice carries precious information about a person. From a brief vocalization to a spoken sentence, listeners rapidly form perceptual judgments of transient affective states such as happiness, as well as perceptual judgments of the more stable social traits such as trustworthiness. In social interactions, sometimes it is not just what we say – but how we say it – that matters. This dissertation sought to better understand how affective properties in voice influence memory and how they subserve social perception. To these ends, I investigated the effect of affective prosody on memory for speech by manipulating both prosody valence and semantic valence, I explored the fundamental dimensions of social perception from voice, and I discussed the relationship of those social dimensions to affective dimensions of voice. In the first chapter, I examined how prosody valence influences memory for speech that varied in semantic valence. Participants listened to narratives spoken in neutral, positive, and negative prosody and recalled as much as they could of the narrative content. Importantly, the arousal level of the affective prosody was controlled across the different prosody valence conditions. Results showed that prosody valence influenced memory for speech content and the effect depended on the relationship between prosody valence and semantic valence. Specifically, congruence between prosody and semantic valence influenced memory. When people were listening to neutral content, affective prosody (either positive or negative) impaired memory. When listening to positive or negative content, incongruent prosody led to better recall. The present research shows that it is not just what you say, but also how you say it that will influence what people remember of your message. In the second chapter, I explored the fundamental dimensions of social perception from voices compared to faces, using a data-driven approach. Participants were encouraged to freely write down anything that came to mind about the voice they heard or the face they saw. Descriptors were classified into categories and the most frequently occurred social trait categories were selected. A separate group of participants rated the voices and faces on the selected social traits. Principal component analyses revealed that female voices were evaluated mostly on three dimensions: attractiveness, trustworthiness, and dominance; whereas male voices were evaluated mostly on two dimensions: social engagement and trustworthiness. For social evaluation of faces, a similar two-dimensional structure of social engagement and trustworthiness was found for both genders. The gender difference in social perception of voice is discussed with respect to gender stereotypes and the role voice pitch played in perceived attractiveness and dominance. This study indicates that both modality (voice vs. face) and gender impact the fundamental dimensions of social perception. Overall, the findings of this dissertation indicate that the affective quality in our voice not only influence how our speech will be remembered but also relate to how we are being socially perceived by others. It would be wise to pay more attention to our tone of voice if we want to make our speech memorable and leave a good impression

Abstract:
Social contact norms are used by managers to establish standards for regulating visitation of wilderness areas so that visitors can attain adequate experiences of solitude. This study expanded on current conceptions of social contact norms to provide a theoretical and empirical basis for understanding how such norms are formed. Using person perception, stereotyping, and socialization theory and the concept of cognitive schemata, a conceptual framework was built to explain how visitors come to judge certain groups as appropriate or inappropriate in a wilderness area. Seven research hypotheses were proposed and tested using a database consisting of responses to a mail questionnaire survey of 800 permit requestors and 95 interviews with visitors at Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness, Arizona. The first hypothesis, that wilderness visitors would regard some types of groups as appropriate and other types of groups as inappropriate in the wilderness area, was supported. Norms for encountering 13 types of groups were estimated from written questions and drawings, and paired picture comparisons allowed ranking of six types of groups. Encounters with lone hikers, small groups, medium-sized groups, birdwatchers, youth groups, school classes, and rangers were considered more appropriate than encounters with hunters, horseback riders, packstock users, and nude bathers. Logit and multinomial logit models were used to test the six remaining hypotheses, which concerned the influences of socialization and other processes on development of social contact norms. To test the hypotheses, norms for encountering six types for groups were predicted from demographic and other variables. The results indicated that norms for encountering small groups were not affected by social class or race; affiliation with a small group during a wilderness visit was associated with a dislike of large groups, membership in a conservation organization had no such association; members of conservation organizations preferred fewer encounters with hunters; membership in a conservation organization also prompted the respondents to dislike encounters with horseback riders; females, older visitors, and people with children disliked encountering nude bathers; and inexperienced and less self-reliant visitors enjoyed encounters with rangers. Theoretical, managerial, and social implications of these results were then discussed.

Abstract:
Throughout history people have sought to prompt social change through theatrical experiences. The theatre has moved the masses in ways that have frightened governments and religious establishments into closing down theatres and banning theatrical material. History proves that theatre which causes change exists and works, but it also proves there is no one definition or formula for this type of theatre. Depending on the culture, time period, issue, resources and people involved Theatre for Social Change takes a variety of forms. However, theatre affecting change does tend to maintain two common threads: the creation of a new work and the pursuit of the uncertain elements which will ensure the work affects change in its audience. With no more than two common threads, where does a young actor, recognizing a social problem and desiring change prompted through a theatrical experience begin his or her journey? How does one create Theatre for Social Change? How does one know the theatrical work has successfully caused change within an audience? If there is no certain definition, no one way to pursue it, what direction should one follow? Following Peter Brook s example as set in his 1966 production of US, I will create my own original work in the form of a one-person show and use it as the canvas to apply Brook s ideas and techniques. I hope to find that in order for an audience to change they must first be willing to participate in a performance, even if it is a performance demanding a harsh confrontation with an ignored social problem. Through this thesis I aim to prove that through an actor s personal journey with a social issue, the actor leads the way for the audience to be willing to participate and take the journey themselves resulting in change. My written thesis will include the findings of my research and preparation, a detailed rehearsal and performance journal, the original script of my performance work Knowing Fires and a reflection on the completed process including audience feedback. All of these elements will hopefully lead to a conclusive and useful approach to creating Theatre for Social Change.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to disentangle the concept of culture; more specifically it identifies different facets of cultural orientations. It looks at how cultural and national groups differ on these dimensions and their impact on individuals and societies. It is argued that we need a more nuanced and multifaceted understanding of culture that goes beyond focusing on values. Chapter 1 discusses definitions of culture and identifies three significant facets of culture—values, beliefs and constructions of the self. It is noted that research into the latter two facets is far less developed. Chapter 2 outlines research into cross-cultural variation in beliefs, more specifically beliefs about personhood, and notes that little is known about beliefs that define individualism-collectivism (I-C). Chapter 3 reviews self-construal theory and highlights a range of remaining issues which point to the need to explore self-construals further. Chapter 4 provides a methodological overview of the research. Chapter 5 reports results from two large-scale cross-cultural questionnaire studies and presents the construct, and a measure, of contextualism, referring to beliefs about the importance of the context in understanding people. Contextualism is shown to be a facet of cultural collectivism and a predictor of national variation in ingroup favouritism, trust and corruption. Chapter 6 presents a new seven-dimensional model of self-construals, which can be organised into three higher-order dimensions at the cultural level of analysis: self-differentiation, other-focus and self-containment. Variation in self-differentiation is shown to be best explained by differences in I-C, other-focus by differences in national wealth and self-containment by religious heritage. Based on a smaller study in four nations, Chapter 7 investigates the seven self-construal dimensions at the individual level and tests how they differentially predict outcomes related to socio-emotional adjustment. Chapter 8 summarises the findings and discusses implications and directions for future research.

Abstract:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a competitive corporate marketing strategy and gained increasingly more attention among organizations. Drawing from attribution theory, persuasion knowledge model and the first- and third-person effects, this study outlined a survey study designed to examine the relationships among consumers’ beliefs in CSR motives, perceived effects of CSR communication on self and others, and behavioral consequences. Also described is a structural equation model which allows for the testing of the research hypotheses. Data was collected from 202 college students via survey. The results supported that when consumers believe the motives of CSR are other-serving, perceived effects are more positive on self than other and they are able to take action to join. Results also showed that when consumers believe the motives are self-serving, perceived effects are negative on self.

Full text
Abstract:

Social workers witness tragedy on a daily basis, meaning they regularly face significant risks for mental and physical exhaustion, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is a state experienced by those helping people or animals in distress; it is an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with the suffering of those being helped to the degree that it can create a secondary traumatic stress for the helper. Person-Centered Expressive Arts (PCEA) is a group process that facilitates therapeutic growth through integrated use of art, movement, writing, and music.

This mixed method case study examined the impact of a PCEA group process on compassion fatigue in social workers. Two research questions were examined: “What is the impact of PCEA group process on participants’ compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?” and, “What other impacts do participants report resulting from the PCEA group process?” Five social workers with M.S. degrees and at least 3 years of full-time work experience and who self-reported feeling tired, depressed, and/or stressed as a result of their job participated in the study. The group process was conducted over four 3-hour sessions and included movement or meditation, a visual art activity, and group sharing. Compassion fatigue was assessed prior to the group process through an online compassion fatigue assessment.

During the group process, data were collected through the researcher’s direct observation and participant-observation, and participants’ art expression. After the group process, participants completed the online assessment again and took part in one in-depth interview that was audio-recorded and transcribed. Within- and cross-case analyses were produced to determine the effects of the group process on participants’ experiences of compassion fatigue.

Findings indicated that all participants suffered from compassion fatigue before the study began and, to a lesser degree, after the study ended. Four out of the five participants outlined ways that PCEA eased their compassion fatigue by helping them regain lost parts of themselves, release pent-up emotions and energy, and recognize anew the need for work-life balance and self-care.

These findings align with past research, which found that the use of expressive arts increased participants’ abilities to identify, voice, and understand emotions; discover intuitive and spiritual aspects of themselves; release energy; and improve problem solving. Future studies are advised to further expand the body of research on the specific impacts of these group processes for compassion fatigue in helping professionals.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigated the influence of an authority figure on an eyewitness identification task. Subjects watched a staged crime and then were administered a photo lineup by either an authority or non-authority figure. Subjects who were administered a lineup by an authority figure were significantly more likely to choose someone from the lineup than subjects who were shown a lineup by a non-authority figure. Similarly, subjects who were given biased instructions were significantly more likely to choose someone from the lineup than subjects who were given unbiased instructions. These effect obtained whether the target was present or absent from the lineup. These data suggest that one way to minimize suggestibility of eyewitnesses is to replace the uniformed officer with a neutral individual. Alternatively, the effect of a police officer on a witness' choosing behavior may be eliminated by providing the witness with unbiased instructions.

Abstract:
Social perception is dynamic and ambiguous. Whilst previous research favoured bottom-up views where observed actions are matched to higher level (or motor) representations, recent accounts suggest top-down processes where prior knowledge guides perception of others’ actions, in a predictive manner. This thesis investigated how person-specific models of others’ typical behaviour in different situations are reactivated when they are re-encountered and predict their actions, using strictly controlled computer-based action identification tasks, event-related potentials (ERPs), as well as recording participants’ actions via motion tracking (using the Microsoft Kinect Sensor). The findings provided evidence that knowledge about seen actor’s typical behaviour is used in action observation. It was found, first, that actions are identified faster when performed by an actor that typically performed these actions compared to another actor who only performed them rarely (Chapters Two and Three). These effects were specific to meaningful actions with objects, not withdrawals from them, and went along with action-related ERP responses (oERN, observer related error negativity). Moreover, they occurred despite current actor identity not being relevant to the task, and were largely independent of the participants’ ability to report the individual’s behaviour. Second, the findings suggested that these predictive person models are embodied such that they influenced the observers own motor systems, even when the relevant actors were not seen acting (Chapter Four). Finally, evidence for theses person-models were found when naturalistic responding was required when participants had to use their feet to ‘block’ an incoming ball (measured by the Microsoft Kinect Sensor), where they made earlier and more pronounced movements when the observed actor behaved according to their usual action patterns (Chapter Five). The findings are discussed with respect to recent predictive coding theories of social perception, and a new model is proposed that integrates the findings.

Full text
Abstract:
The third-person effect is the tendency of individuals to believe that others are more susceptible to media influence than themselves and this perception causes them to act accordingly. This study aimed to reveal the relationship between the third-person effect and voting intentions. After reading one of the two versions of a vignette about a media discussion of possible election results, both of which claimed only two major parties could pass the election threshold, Turkish university students (N=285) first evaluated the impact of the message on self and on others and then reported whether they would vote for the same party they supported or they would choose another one. Results supported the perceptual component of the third-person effect, indicating that participants believed they were less influenced by the message compared to the others. Although it was predicted that this perception would increase when the message was assumed as negative, findings did not support this hypothesis. Furthermore, the hypothesis suggesting that the third-person effect would cause behavioral consequences (change in voting intentions) was not supported. However, content analysis made a valuable contribution to interpret the findings. Possible explanations for the findings and directions for future studies about the third-person effect on voting intentions were discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Significant improvements in medical and neurosurgical interventions have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of persons surviving traumatic head injury. Consequently, more survivors and their families find themselves having to learn to cope and live with the impairments that accompany head injury. While the nature and degree of recovery is often difficult to pre-determine, most individuals require a comprehensive spectrum of medical, rehabilitative and supportive services to facilitate and maintain the recovery process. The complex nature of family life involving shared living-space, time and history, and the multiplicity of sequelae which impact on family life following traumatic head injury, challenge traditional research methods. In response, recent research studies, which centre on the alterations to family life following head injury, have endeavoured to include qualitative dimensions along with quantitative measures in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of the difficulties faced by families. These studies also fall short of investigating the deeper dimensions of family life, namely the intersubjective realm. Using an existential-phenomenological research approach, we have undertaken an indepth investigation of one family whose young adult son sustained a traumatic head injury resulting in severe impairment including loss of communication and movement. Applying an adapted version of Giorgi's systematized phenomenological method, our investigation revealed a temporal unfolding of three phases through which the family moved in its experience of living with a traumatically head-injured person: a pre-accident life-world, a phase of living with the immediate experience of the accident and a readjusting phase where family members worked to recreate and regain a sense of familial wholeness. As well, the disruption and disconnection experienced by family members following the accident was shown to originate from a deeper disruption at the foundational level of human existence. The structural matrix of themes that constituted our research family's life-world following this tragic accident was dominated by the themes of brokenness and disconnection, a restricted life-world, a disparity between inner and outer family life and a call to care. The Heideggerian theme of care was the family's existential response to the "broken" existence and near loss of their family member. It emerged as the underlying theme which held together and guided the reconfigured familial structure.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation presents the analytical solution, agent behavioral transitions and classification structures in N-person social dilemma games. The specific model in this research uses Pavlovian agents making decisions in a cellular automaton environment with linear payoff functions. This effort culminated in four papers being submitted to journals that publish in this field of study. The first paper demonstrates that the analytical solution to the N-person Prisoners' Dilemma game discussed in previous literature fails when the learning factors are unequal. The paper then derives a more general analytical solution that corrects this issue. The second paper analyzes agent behavior and transitions extending over all social games. Three plateaus are identified. It is found that the agents in each plateau have a significantly different behavior. The transitions between these plateaus are analyzed. Previous literature indicates that there are indeed transitions, but offers no explanations. The third paper presents under what conditions the analytical solution is applicable. The previous literature implies the analytical solution is always applicable in the Prisoners' Dilemma game. This paper thoroughly analyzes for which games the analytical solution actually works and concludes that it applies in the Chicken game with the parameter S slightly negative. The fourth paper views the N-Person Social Dilemma model from a new perspective based on dynamic system theory. Thirteen cases or games are identified. These cases plot the state transition formula, which is a quadratic curve with linear payoff functions, versus the 45 degree line. From case diagrams the solution structures are readily apparent without the use of simulation. Also, additional information concerning proper selection of parameter values is provided above the traditional approach. The case diagrams can be used by modelers to easily develop and validate models for specific applications. There is no previous literature viewing N-person social dilemma games from this system theoretical perspective.

Thesis advisor: David Hollenbach
What is the relationship between solidarity and human rights? In answering this question, this dissertation argues that human rights and solidarity are mutually dependent upon one another; and second, that the virtue of solidarity is habituated and cultivated through the practicing respect for human rights. In order to make this argument, this dissertation follows in three main parts. First, it examines recent Catholic social teachings (John XXIII to John Paul II) on the themes of human rights and solidarity. The purpose is to detail the development of teaching on human rights and solidarity and begin to examine the relationship between the two. Second, it seeks to provide a normative argument for a clearer relationship between solidarity and human rights through a deeper investigation of the human person as participatory in philosophical and theological anthropology. To accomplish this, I use the philosophical anthropology of Charles Taylor and a theological anthropology grounded in the imago dei, contemporary Trinitarian theologies and covenantal theology. Finally, it shows that understanding human rights and solidarity as foundational for the person has implications for ethical policy concerning human rights, through engagement with developmental economist and human rights theorist Amartya Sen. From this, I argue that human rights and solidarity are mutually dependent. It is my assertion that human rights cannot be realized without solidarity, and vice versa. Furthermore, one cannot acquire the virtue of solidarity, as a second nature, except through the praxis of respect for human rights. In this relationship between human rights and solidarity, I contend that Catholic social thought can offer an important contribution to the philosophical and political debates about moral obligations for human rights and the emerging responsibility to protect doctrine

Abstract:
While there are many deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder, social skills deficits are one of the most noticeable in a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are many treatments utilized by mental health clinicians, healthcare professionals, and schools to address social skills deficits. Historically, autistic children have been taught social skills predominantly through behavioral interventions, which have been proven effective. However, following the rise in technological advancement, there has been a wave of new social skills computer-based interventions (CBI) geared towards ASD children. While the research into the effectiveness of CBI is limited, the new direction is said to be a promising alternative in comparison to behavioral interventions. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of CBI in comparison to known effective behavioral interventions. In this study, I conducted a secondary data analysis, examining the effectiveness of CBI on improving social skills when compared to a person-implemented intervention. The framework of the study featured social learning theory, descriptive statistics, and t test analysis, which provided an examination of the effectiveness of CBI when compared to a person-implemented intervention. Independent samples t tests showed that both Group A (FaceSay, N = 10) and Group B (Model Me Kids, N = 10) showed significant improvement in social skills. The current findings suggest that CBI programs are efficient for teaching social skills to school aged children with ASD. Future research should focus on the use of CBI in a clinical environment with a larger sample size. Implications for social change include ASD children engaging with others in a socially appropriate manner within their natural environment.

Full text
Abstract:
The rationale for this study was the need to bring a social science perspective to developing approaches for person-centred outcome measures in rehabilitation settings for older people. To date this field has largely been dominated by clinicians and the biomedical model of impairment, disability and handicap. Qualitative methods (findings from focus group discussions informed later focus interviews with individuals) were used to establish and explore the views of older people about a range of issues linked to conceptualising outcome, including participating in decisions regarding their health, to examine how older people made judgements, what they valued and prioritised, what their expectations were, how care was experienced and how changes are sustained over time. Symbolic interactionism and grounded theory provided the overall theoretical approach to the methods used. A distinction is made between older people's 'public' and 'private views'. This analytical distindon provides the framework within which the accounts are explored and presented in the thesis. The public accounts focus on the social and moral obligations associated with the experience of being an older citizen. The thesis explores the role of reciprocity, justice and conscience in these accounts. The private accounts reveal the wide range and diversity of opinion and experiences that exist. Three groups of people were identified: empowered, reluctant collaborators; and dominated. It is argued that future best practice for outcome evaluation in health and social care professionals will need to explore the private views of older people in greater depth. Institutionalised ageism and structured dependency are major barriers to empowering older people to participate in identifying outcomes. Until these issues are recognised and resolved, more meaningful participation in the identification and method of assessment of outcomes is unlikely. The findings should be of relevance to researchers, to users of health services and to clinicians working in rehabilitation settings for older people.

Full text
Abstract:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an expanding trend as more organizations have adopted various CSR policies. Due to this, CSR has been a growing topic in Business and Psychology research, especially on the micro-level of CSR’s effects on individual employee outcomes. In this study, we proposed a new sub-dimension of Person-Organization (P-O) fit, such that there’s a Person-CSR (P-CSR) fit: the perceived congruence between an individuals’ values with an organization’s CSR initiatives. We predicted that P-CSR fit would explain additional variance over and beyond P-O fit for organizational outcomes: organizational commitment, organizational identity, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behaviors. Further, we predicted the relationship between P-CSR fit and these organizational outcomes would be moderated by the individual’s social responsibility values. Using a sample of 230 participants, who worked for their current organization for an average of 2.92 years and an average of 35.10 hours per week, results of this study consistently found P-CSR fit to capture additional variance over and beyond P-O fit. However, this study did not find the predicted moderating relationships. This study provides important implications for organizations that do not have CSR established, organizations that have CSR but do not make it known, and organizations that have CSR that are not proactive nor reflective of their industry.
