Als Dienstältester Kultursekretär eines ländlichen Kulturraumes weiß ich sehr wohl, dass die Kulturräume und deren regional bedeutsame Bibliotheken wichtige Partner sind. Ohne die Kulturräume gebe es vor allem im ländlichen Bereich eine Reihe kultureller Einrichtungen vielleicht schon nicht mehr – und das trifft auch auf den Bereich der Bibliotheken zu. Und umgekehrt gilt es auch: Ohne eine starke Fachsparte der Bibliotheken gibt es keine Kultur räume. Wir brauchen uns also und haben durch die gemeinsame Umsetzung und Gestaltung des Sächsischen Kulturraumgesetzes auch in Zeiten knapper Kassen eine ganze Menge kultureller Substanz erhalten und richtungsweisende Strukturen entwickelt.

This dissertation identified and developed indicators of a new potential predictor of relationship satisfaction and intimate partner violence (IPV): discrepancies between the ideal and perceived gendered characteristics of romantic partners. Past research has overlooked the implicitly gendered nature of these "partner-ideals." Two pilot studies were conducted to develop measures of gendered partner-ideals and -perceptions based on existing measures of gender ideology.
The main study examined survey data collected online from adults (n = 643) living in the U.S. who were in a heterosexual romantic relationship for at least six months. Three main hypotheses were tested regarding the associations among gender ideology, gendered partner-ideals, gendered partner-perceptions, gendered partner-ideal discrepancies, relationship satisfaction, and experiences with IPV.
While confirmatory factor analyses supported the reliability of the new measures of masculine-ideals and -perceptions, results did not support the hypothesized factor structure of the feminine measures. Thus, only hypotheses utilizing women's data were tested. This measurement limitation resulted in an unanticipated focus on women's IPV perpetration for Hypothesis Two. However, these data are valuable in their uniqueness.
Hypothesis One was supported: women's masculinity ideology positively correlated with the corresponding masculine-ideal for each subscale of the respective measures as well as for the aggregate measures. Tests of Hypothesis Two showed that women's masculine-ideal discrepancies predicted their emotional abuse perpetration, but not their physical assault or injury perpetration, mediated by relationship satisfaction. However, this effect was small. Hypothesis Three had mixed support. Women's aggregate masculine-partner perceptions were positively associated with their reports of emotional abuse victimization. Additionally, women's reports of most types of IPV victimization positively correlated with perceptions of their male partners' conformity to the specific norms of negativity toward sexual minorities and restrictive emotionality.
Contributions of this dissertation and implications of the results are discussed. A major contribution is the creation of masculine-ideals and -perceptions measures that can be used in future research on relationships. Study results suggest that gendered partner-ideals and -perceptions, beyond gender-ideology, have relevance to the functioning of romantic relationships--including both relationship satisfaction and some kinds of IPV. Future research should continue to investigate the validity of the created measures and explore the possibility of using discrepancies between gendered partner-ideals and -perceptions to prevent and intervene in abusive romantic relationships.

Despite decades of research on intimate-partner violence (IPV), debates and unanswered questions abound in the literature, to which many disciplines—psychology, sociology, criminal justice, law, and public health—have contributed. One long-standing and particularly contentious debate regards gender symmetry, or whether women are as violent in intimate relationships as men. This essay begins with a historical overview of IPV research; it then summarizes recent work on gender and IPV and discusses how estimates of the prevalence and gender distribution of IPV vary depending on its definition and measurement. Reviewing the literature on the heterogeneity of IPV, this essay notes that better understanding of different IPV types may resolve some discrepancies in research. The essay also considers how gender norms may shape IPV and reviews research on experiences of sexual minorities and of those of different races, immigration statuses, and cultures. The final section identifies topics in need of further exploration over the next decade.

Diese Arbeit untersucht den Einfluss von Daten auf das Verhalten und die Korrektheit eines verteilten Systems. Ein verteiltes System besteht aus mehreren Services. Ein Service ist eine selbständige, plattformunabhängige Einheit, die anderen Services eine bestimmte Funktionalität über eine wohldefinierte Schnittstelle zur Verfügung stellt. In dieser Arbeit betrachten wir die Interaktion von jeweils genau zwei Services miteinander. Zwei Services, die erfolgreich miteinander zusammenarbeiten können, nennen wir Partner. Ein Service heißt bedienbar, wenn er mindestens einen Partner hat. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, zu untersuchen, wann zwei Services Partner sind, und für einen Service zu entscheiden, ob dieser bedienbar ist. Aufgrund der Daten kann der Zustandsraum eines Service sehr groß oder sogar unendlich groß werden. Wir untersuchen zwei Klassen von Services mit unendlich vielen Zuständen. Für diese Klassen stellen wir Algorithmen vor, welche zu einem gegebenen Service einen Partner synthetisieren, falls ein solcher existiert. Auf diese Weise entscheiden wir konstruktiv die Bedienbarkeit eines Service. Weiterhin stellen wir Transformationsregeln für Partner vor und untersuchen, wie viel Speicherplatz ein Partner eines Services mindestens benötigt.This thesis studies the influence of data on the behavior and the correctness of a distributed system. A distributed system consists of several services. A service is a self-contained, platform-independent entity which provides a certain functionality to other services via a well-defined interface.In this thesis, we consider the interaction of exactly two services. Two services that can successfully cooperate with each other are called partners. We call a service controllable, if the service has at least one partner. The goal of this thesis is to study the conditions for which two services are partners and to decide whether a given service is controllable. Due to the data, the state space of a service may be very large or even infinite. We investigate two classes of services with infinitely many states. For these classes, we present algorithms that synthesize a partner of a service, if it exists. This allows us to decide the controllability of a service constructively. Furthermore, we present transformation rules for partners and investigate the minimum amount of memory that a partner of a service needs.

Thesis advisor: Shanta PandeyA growing body of literature, particularly from low and middle-income countries, has focused on the role of male involvement in maternal care as a crucial strategy to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. The purpose of this three-paper dissertation is to add to this evidence base within the context of India, and to gain an in-depth understanding of one aspect of male involvement – that is, male partner attendance in antenatal care. This dissertation utilized data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3, 2005-06 and NFHS-4, 2015-16) and was framed using the Social Ecological Model, Connell’s Theory of Gender and Power and a Gender-Transformative lens. Paper 1 summarized the levels of male partner attendance in antenatal care and assessed changes over time. Further, multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the factors influencing male partner attendance in antenatal care. The results show an overall increase in male partner attendance in India during the period of 2005-06 to 2015-16, with the Southern region reporting the highest level of male partner attendance in both years. Higher level of education and household wealth, increased knowledge of pregnancy-related complications, older age at marriage, and women’s autonomy were positively associated with male partner attendance in antenatal care. Paper 2 examined the association between male partner attendance in antenatal care and maternal health service utilization. Controlling for all socio-demographic variables and adjusting for report of pregnancy complications, the results showed that women who were accompanied by a male partner for antenatal care reported increased odds of maternal health service utilization (early initiation of antenatal care, frequency of antenatal care contacts and institutional delivery). While the place of residence (rural/urban) did not influence the association between male partner attendance and maternal health service utilization, region had a significant moderating effect. Paper 3 examined the association between antenatal care and infant birth weight, adjusting for gestational age. Further, the analysis also assessed whether the relationship between antenatal care and infant birth weight varied by male partner attendance. Findings indicate that early initiation of antenatal care and maternal immunization was associated with reduced odds of low birth weight among infants. The results showed that male partner attendance in antenatal care did not have a moderating influence. Taken together, the findings of the three papers have implications for policy and practice; further, they provide support for interventions that aim for a more inclusive and gender-transformative approach to maternal and neonatal health

The involvement of significant others in substance abuse treatment has been shown to be beneficial in the alcohol and cigarette literatures. However, these findings have not been extended to treatment for other substance abuse, particularly marijuana. This study examined whether partner involvement leads to improved outcomes for people seeking treatment for marijuana abuse. In addition, we examined what possible mechanisms can account for a partnerâ s contribution to positive treatment outcomes. Hypotheses were only partially supported. Treatment conditions did not lead to differential changes in partner behaviors. However, there was some evidence that these partner behaviors do have impact on treatment outcomes. In particular, negative partner behaviors were associated with poorer outcomes.Master of Science

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Heutzutage besteht ein komplexes Software-System häufig aus lose gekoppelten, interagierenden Komponenten. Eine Komponente ist ein offenes System, das unabhängig von anderen offenen Systemen entwickelt und später mit diesen komponiert wird. Die Komposition L+R zweier offener Systeme L und R kann sich jedoch inkorrekt verhalten, beispielsweise verklemmen (die Komponenten warten gegenseitig aufeinander), in eine Endlosschleife geraten oder unbeschränkten Speicherplatz erfordern. Ist L+R dagegen ein korrektes System, bezeichnet man L und R als Partner voneinander. Formale Methoden der Modellierung, Analyse und Synthese ermöglichen die systematische Konstruktion eines korrekten Systems durch Komposition von Partnern. Die Kosten, die ein offenes System L verursacht, variieren in Abhängigkeit von der konkreten Wahl eines Partners. Es ist daher wünschenswert, L nur mit solchen Partnern zu komponieren, welche die Kosten von L beschränken oder sogar minimieren. Ein Partner, der die Kosten von L minimiert, ist ein optimaler Partner von L. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Erarbeitung von Techniken, die garantieren, dass L nur mit optimalen Partnern komponiert wird. Dazu entwickeln wir formale Methoden zur Modellierung, Analyse und Synthese kostenbehafteter offener Systeme und ihrer optimalen Partner. Wir präsentieren einen Formalismus zur Modellierung funktionaler (d.h. Zustandsübergänge) und nicht-funktionaler Verhaltenseigenschaften (d.h. Kosten). In diesem Formalismus definieren wir Kostenbeschränktheit und Optimalität von Partnern. Darauf aufbauend entwickeln wir formale Methoden zur Entscheidung der kostenbeschränkten Bedienbarkeit (d.h. der Existenz kostenbeschränkter Partner), der Synthese optimaler Partner und der endlichen Repräsentation aller optimalen Partner.Nowadays, a complex software system usually consists of loosely-coupled, interacting components. Such a component is an independently developed open system that one composes with other open systems. The composition L+R of two open systems L and R can be faulty: For instance, the components deadlock (i.e. mutually wait for each other) or require an unbounded amount of memory. If L+R is correct, L and R are called partners of each other. Formal methods for modeling, analysis and synthesis yield a systematic approach to constructing a correct system by means of composing partners. The costs of executing a given open system L vary based on a chosen partner. Therefore, it is desirable to choose a partner that bounds or even minimizes the costs of executing L. If a partner R minimizes the costs of executing L, then R is an optimal partner of L. Our goal is to develop techniques that guarantee the composition of L with optimal partners. To this end, we develop formal methods of modeling, analysis and synthesis of open systems incorporating costs. We present a formalism to model functional aspects (i.e. states and transitions) and non-functional aspects (costs) of behavior. We define the properties of cost boundedness and cost optimality for partners in this formalism. Based thereon, we develop formal methods to decide cost bounded controllability (i.e. the existence of cost bounded partners), to synthesize optimal partners, and to finitely represent the set of all optimal partners.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a problem of global proportions that affect men and women worldwide. It is a problem that occurs in all stages of life where we have intimate partners, starting in adolescence. Previous research show that the prevalence of IPV in adolescence is high, around 30% in most parts of Europe and North America. In Scandinavia the levels are a bit lower with previous research showing rates from approximately 10 to 20%, although the research in the Scandinavian context is scarce. The effects of morality on IPV perpetration is even less studied, with previous research showing that there is a significant correlation between the personal morality regarding IPV (IPV morality) and IPV perpetration. The aim of the present study is to use a Situational action theory perspective to study the prevalence of physical IPV and to investigate if there are significant associations between IPV perpetration, levels of IPV morality and levels of partner conflict in a sample of Swedish adolescence. The study is cross-sectional and based on self-reported data collected in the Malmö Individual Neighborhood Development Study (MINDS) during 2014 when the participants were between 18-19 years old. The results showed an IPV prevalence around 4-7% and that there were significant associations between morality and IPV perpetration and between IPV morality and IPV perpetration. The association between partner conflict and IPV perpetration was not significant. Also, the results revealed that levels of IPV morality may shift depending on the situation and that girls seem to have lower IPV morality than boys. Furthermore, the results showed that IPV perpetration is bidirectional with boys and girls being as likely to commit acts of IPV.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Extant literature suggests not only that social relationships are one context in which individuals may pursue personal strivings (Rusbult, Finkel & Kumashiro, 2009a), but also that individuals may assess their marital satisfaction based on their goal-striving successes (Li & Fung, 2011). Indeed, the degree to which partners appear to be responsive to one another's goals and ideals, termed partner responsiveness, has been linked with personal and relational well-being (Reis, Clark & Holmes, 2004; Rusbult et al., 2009a). Virtues such as commitment, trust, and compassion have been theoretically and empirically associated with upward cycles of partner responsiveness and personal and relational well-being (Canavello & Crocker, 2010; Reis & Gable, 2015). Partner responsiveness has also been consistently linked with goal attainment and well-being in the context of social relationships (Drigotas, 2002). The present study sought to bridge these two literatures by examining the potential mediating role of partner responsiveness between virtues and goal attainment. Data for the present study came from a cross-sectional survey of 840 heterosexual married couples living across the United States. Hypotheses were analyzed using an actor-partner interdependencemodel (Kenny, Kashy & Cook, 2006). Results suggested that partner responsiveness partially mediated actor effects of virtue on goal attainment, but fully mediated the partner effects of virtue on goal attainment. Gender effects emerged such that the direct effects of virtues on goal attainment were stronger for husbands than for wives. These results indicate that within-dyads (Kenny et al., 2006) gender difference variables (e.g. percent of family income earned) are likely to account for these differences. Study limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

This thesis reports the candidate's efforts to investigate the process of change experienced or perceived by partner-violent men, and partners of partner-violent men, after being involved in a programme of intervention. It examines theoretical positions on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and behaviour change, and then describes a systematic literature review which brings together similar previous studies. The thesis includes extensive reviews of previous studies in this area, grouped under the headings: survivor perspectives, perpetrator perspectives, children's perspectives and practitioner perspectives. Building on the findings from these reviews a qualitative study of partner-violence perpetrators, on the Island of Ireland, was designed and completed with the following objectives: o To explore and examine the process by which change comes about, o To inform IPV perpetrator programme development, o To inform the development of a more general practice framework, for work with partner-violent men. The study comprised of one-time interviews, averaging 74 minutes, with 18 survivors of IPV, and 20 partner-violent men. Study participants were drawn from four TPV perpetrator programmes, and four survivor SUppOlt agencies. The separate cohorts of survivors and perpetrators had been involved in the same fPV perpetrator programmes: perpetrators as programme participants, survivors as paltners of programme participants. The study sample included four couple dyads. The study drew on elements of grounded theory, specifically, theoretical sampling, iterative data collection and analysis, and the pursuit of data saturation. Efforts were made to enhance study rigour by including an inter-coder reliability check, and expert validation of interim findings. Based on findings from the literature reviews, and subsequent study, this thesis suggests more productive ways to conceptualise perpetrators based on their motivation, and highlights potential barriers and facilitators of the change process to inform more comprehensive assessment of perpetrators. The process of change is presented in a practice-orientated format, describing a range of valid treatment targets based on study findings, and corresponding mechanism by which these can be pursued. Interruption techniques and enhancements to communication skills would appear to be more achievable goals within current treatment formats, while more in-depth changes in character appear to be out of reach for many perpetrators. The thesis highlights the heterogeneity within this service user grouping, the need to measure and systematically develop a variety of treatment options for partner-violent men, and underlines the safety issues involved.

This MENG thesis implements a security system for a classroom presentation system called the Classroom Learning Partner (CLP). The goal of the security system is to prevent cheating on electronic quizzes. CLP is a system that uses Tablet PCs in the classroom to enhance learning and encourage interaction between the instructor and students. The instructor creates exercises which are displayed on slides on the students' Tablet PCs. The students complete the exercises and submit them to the instructor and to a central database. The security implementation makes it possible to extend this framework for electronic quiz administration. This thesis discusses current cheating prevention methodologies and extends them to account for electronic quiz-taking scenarios. The basis of the security system is SQL Server authentication for authentication to a central database, and SSL for encryption of network traffic.

This study explored the impact of differentiation of self on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). First, the study determined if differentiation of self in a relationship added to the variance accounted for by the known risk factors including relational satisfaction, marital conflict, romantic jealousy, depression, anxiety, and attitude about violence towards women. Second, it examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between differentiation of self and IPV. Results indicated that differentiation of self in a relationship is a predictor of perpetration of intimate partner violence in relationships even after controlling for other known risk factors. Results also indicated that gender did not moderate the relationship between differentiation of self and perpetration of violence.

Book Summary: In this exciting new book John Hamel, author of the ground-breaking Gender-Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse, and Tonia Nicholls go beyond the traditional intervention theories of domestic violence practiced today.
Offering alternative, unbiased and sometimes controversial views, theories, and current research, they, along with renowned contributors in the field, provide new treatment options that encompass a wide range of gender dynamics. Here are just some of the key principles covered: Interventions Should Be Based on a Thorough Unbiased Assessment Victim/Perpetrator Distinctions are Overstated, and Much Partner Abuse is Mutual Regardless of Perpetrator Gender, Child Witnesses to Partner Abuse are Adversely Affected, and are at Risk for Perpetrating Partner Abuse as Adults
This new gender-inclusive approach to assessment and intervention provides a significant departure from traditional paradigms of domestic violence, and offers a much-needed awareness to effectively prevent violence in our communities today and for future generations.

Limited research has examined desistance from intimate partner violence (IPV). In this thesis the aims are to explore the role that individual, social/environmental factors and subjective change (personal agency) play in the process of desistance from male perpetrated IPV, and to develop and examine a multifactorial theory of desistance from male perpetrated IPV. As research about desistance has tended to more prominent in the criminological literature and in relation to general offending and delinquency, the aim of the first part of this thesis was to undertake two critical reviews on desistance from violence and desistance from IPV. It was found that research in these areas has been neglected. It was concluded that a psychological approach to desistance is required whereby the findings are integrated into the models developed in the criminological literature, in order to develop a multifactorial theory of desistance. Specifically, it was found that pertinent to IPV, severity and frequency of violence was related to desistance and typology research indicated that personality characteristics might distinguish desisters from persisters. The nature of the dyad within which the IPV takes place was also found to be relevant specifically to the study of desistance from IPV and therefore, in need of further examination. In the empirical study, group comparisons on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III subscales were conducted between a purposive sample of 37 desisters, 50 persisters and 49 controls. It was found that Cluster A and Cluster B disorders and disorders at a diagnostic level were more often reported in the groups that had used violence against an intimate compared to the control group. The rates and percentages of clinically meaningful traits and disorders were lower for the desisters than the persisters. Overall the desisters were more like the controls than the persisters across the personality traits and clinical syndromes measured. In the qualitative study, thematic analysis was conducted on data derived from interviews with 13 desisters, nine persisters, nine treatment facilitators and seven survivors. A conceptual model of desistance was developed that demonstrated desistance from IPV is a dynamic process that gradually unfolds over time. The model comprised three global themes: (i) The cycle of lifestyle behaviours (violent): ‘Old way of being’ (the experiences, behaviours and thinking of the men when they used violence); (ii) Catalysts for change (the triggers and transitions experienced that initiated change); and (iii) The cycle of lifestyle behaviours (non-violent); ‘New way of being’ (the experiences, behaviours and thinking of the men when they stopped using violence). The integrated findings illustrate that the path from persistence to desistance is neither linear, nor shared by all IPV offenders. A complex interaction between structure and agency characterised the process. Future research needs to adopt a longitudinal design to gain a clearer understanding of the temporal sequencing of events leading to desistance, and also to determine whether the characteristics that differentiated the groups studied change over time. In addition, it is proposed that individual assessment is required for each offender of IPV. Treatment could then be developed to meet individual needs, which may increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation for IPV perpetrators.

Using three separate and unique sources of data, this study was designed to address: a) the associations between pregnancy-related violence and femicide with sociodemographic characteristics of victims and offenders and with family dynamics, b) how pregnancy affects the risk for threats of violence, power and control tactics, physical violence, stalking, sexual violence, and femicide, and c) how pregnancy contributes to increased severity of abuse. The overall results reveal a significant statistical correlation between pregnancy and the increased risk of intimate partner abuse on many dimensions, including physical abuse, stalking and harassment, sexual abuse, threats of serious harm and death, lethality risk, and power and control. The correlation between pregnancy and femicide is less clear and in need of further examination. While the nature of pregnancy as a risk factor across multiple dimensions of abuse is certainly pervasive, the findings indicate that power and coercive control warrants close attention as a potentially prominent and dangerous dynamic. Women of younger age, those single or divorced, residing with an IP, and having children in the home were shown to have a significantly increased risk of non-lethal and lethal IPV in all three samples. The findings contribute evidence to existing literature concerning potentially catastrophic outcomes for pregnancies occurring in an abusive context, including extremely high rates of miscarriage in abusive relationships. Implications for practice and for research are discussed.Ph.D.

The current study used secondary analysis of existing data to examine associations between bullying experiences, parental partner violence, and partner violence in young adulthood. We hypothesized that bullying in adolescence would be associated with witnessing parental IPV in adolescence and IPV in young adulthood. We believed that deficits in social information processing, particularly hostile attribution biases, would be associated with adolescent bullying. Lastly, we believed that decentering would act as a moderator, affecting the relationship between adolescent bullying and IPV in adulthood. We used correlational and moderation analyses to examine these hypotheses and found that relational bullying victimization was associated with witnessing parental IPV, and the frequency of bullying perpetration was associated with IPV perpetration in adulthood. We found that some aspects of bullying victimization were negatively associated with being unassertive, bullying perpetration was associated with hostile attribution biases, and the relationship between bullying and IPV was significant only at certain levels of decentering maturity.

Abstract Introduction. Approximately 88.000 cases of assault were reported to the Swedish police during 2010. Twenty-five percent of these cases were considered as violence against women. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a worldwide issue and poses a major threat to women’s health. In Sweden, 17 women are killed each year by an intimate partner. This study aimed at increasing the knowledge of perpetrators of intimate partner homicide (IPH), in terms of type of mental disorder and type of deadly violence exerted. Method. A total of 49 forensic psychiatric investigations were obtained from the Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine in Huddinge. Eighteen perpetrators of IPH were compared to 31 perpetrators of deadly violence in a non-intimate relationship. Comparisons were made by coding principal diagnoses as described in the forensic psychiatric investigations, and type of deadly violence exerted using the Cornell coding guide for violent incidents. Results. Perpetrators of IPH were, to a greater extent, diagnosed with a dysphoric or borderline personality disorder (BPD), whereas perpetrators of deadly violence in a non-intimate relationship were significantly more often diagnosed with an antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Perpetrators of IPH used more deadly violence with reactive features, whereas perpetrators of deadly violence in a non-intimate relationship used significantly more deadly violence with instrumental features. Discussion. The results of this study are in agreement with previous research. In conclusion, perpetrators of IPH are more reactive in their deadly violence and less antisocial, in terms of being diagnosed with ASPD and previous convictions, compared to perpetrators of deadly violence in a non-intimate relationship. This may be helpful in terms of preventing future risk for IPV and IPH.

Decades of research have demonstrated that family involvement significantly contributes to improved student outcomes relating to learning and overall school success. Teachers must be prepared to promote effective family involvement in the education of all children including those students with disabilities. Many factors can be attributed to successful outcomes for a student with a disability both in the school and the broader community. Families of children with disabilities can be one of these significant factors, yet teachers and those who prepare teachers are often ill prepared and lack essential skills and basic knowledge about the process of partnering with families of children with disabilities. The present study attempted to build on what we already know about family involvement and teacher preparation. The research was situated within an urban metropolitan university college of education. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of a content related module on the knowledge and disposition of pre-service teachers. The module contained content centered on the areas of family involvement, partnerships, and assumptions about families. The study included two dependant variables: level of knowledge and disposition. The independent variable was the experimental treatment, an online instructional module. The module was conceptualized as an instructional tool to expose participants, students preparing to be teachers, to the role attitudes and beliefs play in developing relationships with others; understanding family perspectives; and examining one's own attitudes and beliefs about families of children with disabilities. The control variables included age, gender and GPA. The research question was: does increasing knowledge regarding family involvement of children with disabilities have an impact on pre service teachers' disposition? The sample included 93 pre service general education students attending the same undergraduate college of education. Subjects were enrolled in an introductory special education course. Sample comprised of all females between the ages of 20 and 50. In order to test the outcome of the treatment intervention, the study utilized a quasi-experimental design with an experimental group and comparison group, and pretest and posttest means. Randomization of the experimental group and comparison group was not possible. It was hypothesized that, while controlling for age, gender and pretest scores, those students who participated in the group intervention by completing the instructional online module would have a change in disposition and increase in knowledge scores as compared to those in the comparison group. It was further hypothesized, while controlling for age, gender and pre test scores, student written responses to two questions based on a case study (scored using rubric) would correlate positively with their disposition and knowledge scores as measured by self report following completion of the intervention. Findings indicate that students' level of knowledge increased significantly over time. The measure of disposition did not change significantly over timePh.D.

The following study is an exploratory analysis of intimate partner kidnapping. The current study will give a descriptive picture of the victim, offender, and incident characteristics of a form of intimate partner violence that has never been studied before, intimate partner kidnapping, as well as a form of physical violence often seen in the literature, intimate partner assaults. The study will use a combination of the National Incident Based Report System (FBI, 2009), and the American Community Survey (Census, 2012) to identify these characteristics and also to identify any potential relationships between structural-level correlates and rates of intimate partner violence. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of multiple forms of intimate partner violence using police data, as well as, understand their relationships to structural-level correlates of counties.
The current study uses the National Incident-Based Reporting (FBI, 2009) system from the year 2009 in order to identify both types of intimate partner violence. It is rare that police data is used to study intimate partner violence, and the current study expands our knowledge of this violence by using a different type of data to study this area. Additionally, the American Community Survey (Census, 2012) estimates between 2005-2009 are utilized to measure the structural-level variables, including concentrated disadvantage, racial heterogeneity, immigrant concentration, and residential stability.
Overall, this study finds that intimate partner kidnapping is a different form of violence than intimate partner assaults. Only one structural level variable, residential stability is significantly associated with intimate partner kidnapping, whereas, 3 of the 4 structural level variables are significantly related to intimate partner assaults and most in the direction expected. The conclusions suggest that intimate partner kidnapping may be a part of “coercive controlling violence” which involves severe amounts of control, isolation, and intimidation, and may not have the same relationships to structural-level correlates as other types of intimate partner violence, such as physical assaults.Ph.D.

På några sekunder förändras livet när någon i ens närhet drabbas av hjärtinfarkt. Sjuksköterskor möter i sitt arbete närstående till drabbade. Studier visar att sjuksköterskor upplever svårigheter att möta närstående och det saknas kunskap om deras upplevelser, vilka behov de har och vilket bemötande de önskar få. Syftet är att beskriva närståendes upplevelser av att leva med en person som drabbats av hjärtinfarkt. Metoden är en litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats. Sju vårdvetenskapliga artiklar analyserades efter Evans analysmodell (2003). Resultatet presenteras i fem teman Kroppslig och emotionell påverkan, Att ha behov av stöd och information, Förändrad parrelation, Förändrad vardag och Framtidssyn. Två av temana presenteras även utifrån totalt fem subteman. Emotionell storm handlar om olika känslor som närstående upplever efter att ens partner drabbats av hjärtinfarkt. I temat Behov av stöd och information beskrivs hur närstående upplevde att de fick för lite information på sjukhuset, och saknade vidare stöd efteråt. Förändrad parrelation handlar om att komma varandra närmare, att distansera sig och att ständigt kontrollera sin partner. Temat Förändrad vardag beskriver att vara begränsad och att ändra livsstil. Det femte temat benämns Framtidssyn och beskriver närståendes tankar och förhoppningar om framtiden. Diskussionen tar upp att närstående kan känna ilska över att behöva anpassa sig och ge upp sitt liv för en annans skull. För att hjälpa patienten och dennes närstående att återgå till livet efter en hjärtinfarkt är det viktigt att undervisningen och informationen individanpassas.Program: Sjuksköterskeutbildning

This thesis discusses improvements to the teacher user interface of a tablet-computer-based classroom interaction system called Classroom Learning Partner. The new interface elements allow teachers to more easily keep track of class and individual progress through assignments, view students' work, give different assignments to different students, and quickly gauge students' understanding. Teachers in the Boston area consulted on the interface design and tested the implementation. Classroom observations and interviews with teachers indicate that the teachers found the new tools useful.

A connection between self-monitoring, which is an individual difference in concern about self-presentation, and partner knowledge structures, which is how people organize thoughts about their current romantic partner, is explored in this study. There were two competing hypotheses. If people structure thoughts about their partner in a way similar to how they structure their social worlds, then low self-monitors would have integrated partner knowledge structures and high self-monitors would have compartmentalized partner knowledge structures. If people structure thoughts about their partner in a way that reflects their relationship motivations and needs then we would find the opposite pattern of results. We used a measure of compartmentalization and integration as well as Snyder’s (1974) Self-Monitoring Scale to explore our hypotheses. Although both low self-monitors and high self-monitors had relatively compartmentalized partner knowledge structures, we found support for the relationship motivations and needs hypothesis. Low self-monitors had more compartmentalized partner knowledge structures than did high self-monitors. In fact, low self-monitors were more likely than high self-monitors to have completely compartmentalized views of their partners. Reasons for these findings, limitations of this study, and future directions are discussed.

This study examined meditative practices among group participants and therapists, participating in the Domestic Violence Focused Couples Treatment (DVFCT) group using the phenomenology and systems frameworks. Specifically, this inquiry explored whether or not group participants and therapists experienced intrapersonal effects as well as relational effects from meditating, both within and outside of session. Little research examines the relational impact of meditating, or the use of meditation as a strategy for helping couples who experienced intimate partner violence. Systems theory and existing research regarding mindfulness meditation contributed to the development of interview questions. Five group participants and four therapists who facilitated the Domestic Violence Focused Couples Treatment group within the last two years were interviewed. The main theme that had emerged from the study were the differences between meditating during session versus out of session for all study participants. In the study, it was noticed that group participants also experienced more relational effects then were noticed by the therapists. While the experience for the therapists and group participants varied, some similarities were found consistently through their interviews. Also included are a discussion of the connections between these themes and the existing literature, the strengths and limitations of this study, and the implications for future research.Master of Science

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Intimate partner violence is endemic in the United States. According to the American Medical Association (1992), one-fifth to one-third of women will sustain violence from a partner or ex-partner in their lifetime. The relevant literature was organized by ICD-9-CM categories. This study examined the health consequences of partner abuse in a sample of community women using a sample consisting of 564 women in three ethnic groups. Because prior research has failed to account for variations by type of abuse on health consequences, this study assessed psychological abuse, violence and sexual aggression by women's partners. To determine whether or not different types of abuse had an effect on women's health, hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. The regression equations were calculated for women within each ethnic group to facilitate identification of similarities and differences and to control for ethnic differences in risk for specific diseases. The results were consistent with past research on health consequences of abuse and extended the prior literature by showing that psychological abuse had a pervasive effect on health conditions, distress and use of health care resources. Additionally, ethnic differences emerged. As expected, ethnicity appeared to function as a moderator. Clinical implications and recommendations are made for future research, suggesting the development of a new assessment tool for partner abuse screening.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Previous research has demonstrated that cooperation and support between parents, called the parental alliance, is an important predictor of parent and child well-being. Consequently, it is important to understand what factors promote the formation of a strong parental alliance. Because of research on the impact of attachment security on individuals' abilities to depend and rely on others and to appropriately manage conflict, partner attachment is a potential predictor of the parental alliance, with insecure attachment negatively weakening the parental alliance. This study analyzed data from 321 couples to examine the relationship between partner attachment and the parental alliance. Using the Actor Partner Interdependence Model, results indicated that attachment was significantly associated with parental alliance scores for both husbands and wives; specifically, higher anxious attachment for wives and for husbands significantly predicted decreased parental cooperation and increased triangulation and conflict. Likewise, avoidant attachment for wives and for husbands was significantly predictive of decreased cooperation and increased triangulation and conflict. These findings point to the utility of marital therapy focusing on increasing attachment as a way to strengthen parental attachment.

Intimate partner violence is negatively impacting the military community. This social issue is not understood well enough to create effective prevention programs or improve intervention programs. Missing from the literature is research investigating the complex nature of intimate partner violence using attachment as the framework. The purpose behind this quantitative, cross-sectional study was to understand the relationships between attachment styles, posttraumatic stress disorder, and intimate partner violence. Whether traumatic brain injury mediates these relationships was considered. There were 228 surveys collected from military couples, using the Adult Attachment Scale, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Military Version, and Intimate Justice Scale. Traumatic brain injury diagnoses were self-reported. These data were analyzed using a factorial analysis of variance to understand the relationships between and among the variables. The main effect for attachment and interaction effects for attachment and posttraumatic stress disorder were statistically significant. The way in which attachment styles and posttraumatic stress symptoms interact, together and separately, were significant influences on violence risk. A linear regression using the mediator function was conducted to determine the impact of traumatic brain injury on any significant relationships. The significant relationships found within the factorial analysis were not influenced by traumatic brain injury. Positive social change implications include improving practitioners' knowledge base on violence within military couples by focusing on altering attachment styles, possibly lowering intimate partner violence rates. The military could be strengthened by creating more resilient soldiers with healthier families

Chatbots are becoming more common in modern society, but there are almost no studies that explore both the differences and causes that divides human communication from communication with a chatbot. The aim of this thesis was to explore different recipient design people take when communicating with a human and a chatbot. A chatbot was built and an experiment was conducted that measured the performance and experience of the participants. A thematic analysis then found out causes for these experiences. The study focused on finding new differences in addition to exploring people’s boredom, frustration, understanding, repetition, and performance in a task. The study found differences and causes in people’s recipient design when communicating with a human compared to a chatbot, as well as differences in the performance of a task. Hopefully, this will help future research figure out solutions for the differences found.

Aims: Recently, empirical literature exploring cognitive characteristics of intimate partner violence offenders has received considerable attention with both theory and practice historically focusing on victims of the abuse. Qualitative exploration has proposed implicit theories (ITs), that is distinct sets of schemas that offenders hold in relation to themselves, the world and others. In relation to cognition in intimate partner violence offenders, this thesis had two aims: to systematically analyse qualitative literature exploring cognition in intimate partner violence offenders and to implement interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore cognition in intimate partner violence sex offenders. Methods: Aims are addressed separately in two journal articles. A systematic review of qualitative literature exploring cognition in intimate partner violence offenders is presented in journal article 1. Journal article 2 utilises interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore cognition in 11 intimate partner sex offenders. Results: In relation to journal article 1, systematic searches of bibliographic databases in addition to hand-searches of various articles in the domain of intimate partner violence were conducted to identify eight empirical papers qualitatively exploring cognition in intimate partner violence offenders. Synthesis of the papers resulted in 10 themes being extrapolated thought to be representative of cognition in intimate partner violence males: “violence is normal”; “policing partner”; “women are provoking” “need for control”; “grievance/revenge”; “external factors responsible”; “rejection/abandonment”; “minimisation/denial”; “entitlement” and “remorse”. Journal article two utilised interpretative phenomenological analysis of 11 transcripts of IPV offenders. This revealed five superordinate and 14 subthemes which are proposed as implicit theories present in this specific offender group. These are: “violence is acceptable”; “grievance/revenge”; “dangerous world”; “need for control”; “real man”; “entitlement/women are objects”; “male sex drive/policing partner”; “women are provoking”; “rejection/abandonment”; “women are supportive”; “uncontrollability”; “nature of harm”; “the new me” and “I‟m not like them”. Conclusions: Cognitions identified from the systematic review are discussed in addition to limitations of the synthesis and clinical and empirical utility. The implicit theories identified in journal article 2 are discussed in relation to other offending behaviour groups in addition to their clinical implications in the development of effective interventions and risk assessment tools.

This investigation included two studies that examined the perspectives of support recipients (Study 1) and support providers (Study 2) regarding the context of social support seeking due to a violent or non-violent conflict with a romantic partner. Study 1 participants (78 female, 78 male) and Study 2 participants (73 female, 89 male) identified predominantly as European-American (48.1% in Study 1 and 50% in Study 2) and African-American (36.5% in Study 1 and 38.9% in Study 2). Social support responses were measured with Ullman's (2010) Social Reactions Questionnaire (SRQ). Results revealed that many of the expected differences in social support reactions by gender, ethnicity, and intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization status were not supported. However, this investigation found a gender difference in the emotional support response, where females provided (F (1, 290) = 13.11, p < .001, partial η2 = .04) and received (F (1, 133) = 15.68, p < .001, partial η2 = .11) higher emotional support more frequently than males. When social support was provided to IPV victims, support providers reacted with egocentric support responses more often (F (1, 122) = 9.53, p < .003, partial η2 = .07) than when providing support for individuals not experiencing IPV. A comparison of Study 1 and Study 2 revealed that support providers (Study 2 participants) provided emotional support (F (1, 290) = 7.79, p < .05, partial η2 = .03), treating differently (F (1, 290) = 9.51, p < .01, partial η2 = .03), distraction (F (1, 290) = 10.09, p < .01, partial η2 = .03), taking control (F (1, 290) = 21.56, p < .001, partial η2 = .07), and tangible aid (F (1, 290) = 9.92, p < .01, partial η2 = .03) more frequently than support recipients (Study 1 participants) received. Regarding helpfulness of support responses, one difference emerged whereby female friends who provided distraction responses were viewed as more helpful than male friends who distracted (F (1, 50) = 9.40, p < .01, partial η2 = .16). This investigation suggests that gender, IPV victimization status, and type of participant (support provider, support recipient) are variables that impact social support during a conflict with a romantic partner. Measurement issues regarding the SRQ limited the ability to determine the helpfulness/harmfulness of social support reactions. Future research is necessary to continue to investigate the types of social support that are considered helpful when disclosing conflict with a partner.
