Why Here, Why Now: The Genesis of a Native American Business Journal
Full text linkIBAPA is the culmination of a decades-long journey in which there has been much progress in the development of Native American economies, but still rather modest progress in the development of Native American academic theory in the fields of business and public administration. There are multiple reasons why academic progress has been sluggish. One of the primary reasons is the lack of business professors who publish research about our community. This journal seeks to address this problem straight on. The editorial provides background on our purpose

Fostering Mattering: A Framework for Building Connection Among Youth and Within Systems
No full textMattering is a multidimensional concept that reflects individuals’ perceptions that they are important to and valued by others—both in interpersonal relationships and within larger systems (Dixon & Tucker, 2018; Watson et al., 2022). More than just a sense of belonging, mattering plays a critical role in adolescent development, with higher levels of perceived mattering linked to decreased mental health concerns, increased academic engagement, and greater motivation (Watson et al., 2021). When intentionally cultivated, mattering can act as a protective factor, especially for youth navigating complex social, academic, and personal challenges. This presentation reviews current research on mattering and offers practical strategies for fostering it at both the individual and systems levels
Alcoholism, Domestic Violence, and Attachment: Investigating the Interplay Between Male Alcohol Use, Female Attachment Styles, and Relationship Violence in Heterosexual Couples
No full textThe purpose of this study is to find a trend regarding heterosexual alcoholic men and their female partners’ attachment style, if domestic violence is present in this correlation. Is there a specific attachment style in women in a relationship with an alcoholic man? Is attachment style different for women in a relationship with domestic violence present, or not? Is attachment style different for women in a relationship with an alcoholic man, or not? There is more research regarding the attachment style of those suffering from alcoholic addiction themself compared to what is observed of their romantic partners. It is shown that people with alcohol dependence significantly differ from non-alcoholics in terms of attachment styles and dimensions. Alcoholic-dependent persons rarely present secure connections to others and more often manifest mistrust and avoid closeness and intimacy (Wyrzykowska et al., 2014). There is a found association between insecure attachment and perpetration of in person violence (IPV) (Cameranesi, 2016). Research consistently demonstrates that alcohol problems increase the likelihood of in-person violence (IPV) perpetration among men arrested for DV (Brem et al., 2017)

The Same Team Yelling at Each Other
No full textThis poster delves into the partisan dynamics surrounding public welfare policies in the United States (e.g., Affordable Care Act) with an emphasis on how political parties react to policies enacted by their opposition. Through a comparative analysis of legislative responses, media framing, and shifts in public opinion, this project seeks to uncover the deeper motivations behind partisan policy rejection. It explores how political identity, party loyalty, and ideological polarization contribute to this opposition, ultimately shaping the broader discourse on social welfare and governance in a divided political landscape (Koehler,2024). It will delve into how both parties try to protect their political images and separate themselves from the other, manifesting out-group responses that mainly seek to protect members’ self-identity. They will see the “other” as barbarous or evil while viewing themselves as righteous in comparison (Tajfel & Turner, 1979). This divide between the two parties hinders communication and collaboration, leading to further factionalism that separates the two groups. This poster will argue that the tendency to perceive opposing political groups as out-groups significantly undermines constructive policymaking. This dynamic contributes to legislative gridlock, where policies are often dismissed based on partisan identity rather than substantive evaluations (Paine,2024). As ideological polarization deepens, opportunities for bipartisan cooperation diminish, hindering the development of effective and sustainable policy solutions to critical social and economic challenges. This project will conclude with some suggestions for how political parties may begin to listen to the content of one another’s ideas and look for areas of overlap

Ka Mua, Ka Muri—Walking Backwards into the Future: Revitalizing Indigenous Economies and Economies of Well-Being
Full text linkThe concept of and desire for well-being economies are rising in prevalence as traditional business paradigms are questioned and alternative framings are being sought. Indigenous peoples, their economies, and their approach to business can provide a rich source of learning to enable and help facilitate a transition to economies of well-being. As Indigenous peoples are emerging from their colonial pasts, they are becoming more empowered to make investment choices, use business models, and form partnerships grounded in their worldviews, which are often well aligned with a well-being economy. In this paper, we note some of the obstacles Indigenous economies have faced and outline success stories where Indigenous tribes/communities/peoples have created business opportunities that are underpinned by their worldviews and are thriving commercially. We then describe a conceptual framework for how Indigenous peoples could support a broader transition to economies of well-being. Indigenous worldviews can provide a way for ‘reimagining’ the economy. Growing the self-determination of Indigenous peoples provides greater opportunities to create ‘reimagined business models’ that align with a reimagined economy and Indigenous worldviews, and thus helps demonstrate ways to start a transition toward economies of well-being. The findings, insights, and conclusions outlined in this paper were drawn from a convened workshop and subsequent dialogue of 24 Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States of America
