Relationships between Psychology, Emotional Intelligence and Binge Watching Engagement
No full textBibliography: leaves 62-69.This study sought to measure the relationship between television binge watching engagement and individual characteristics such as personality and emotional intelligence. It was predicted that binge watching engagement would be related to scores on the Big Five personality scale and a trait measure of emotional intelligence. Positive and Negative Affect (mood), Transportation (mental involvement), and Parasocial Relationship (character connection) scores were all considered engagement variables. Other demographic factors such as Religiosity, Gender, and Hours of Television Consumption Per Week were expected to be related to these binge watching engagement factors. It was found that those who scored high in Conscientiousness were less likely to be mentally involved (transported) into the narrative of the television show than those who scored low on Conscientiousness. Additional testing found that those who scored higher in Neuroticism and Agreeableness were more likely to have lower Positive Affect Scores than those who scored lower in Neuroticism and Agreeableness at the end of binge watching. Those who scored high in Emotional Intelligence also scored higher in Positive Affect and lower in Negative Affect than those lower in Emotional Intelligence. Participants completed the study with less Positive and Negative Affect than when they arrived.
This research confirmed the relationship between a person’s binge watching experience and some individual differences. Implications television’s effects through mental involvement (transportation) and emotional affect are considered in the discussion.Thesis (BA Honours)--Tyndale University College & Seminary, 2018.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] -- Introduction -- Methods -- Results -- Discussion -- Conclusion -- References -- Appendixe
Developing Christlike Disciples with the Fourfold Spiritual Journey Model at Westwood Alliance Church
No full textBibliography: leaves 278-281In this research portfolio, the author explores spiritual formation as a deeper life journey to imitate Jesus Christ. The key question the research addressed is how Jesus’ followers in Westwood Alliance Church (hereafter called WAC) can walk into a deeper life journey with Jesus Christ. Four aspects of Jesus’ life on earth have been identified for the sake of living out the life modelled by Jesus Christ (Discipline, Surrender, Testimony, and Community). The author examined the question through four separate yet related dimensions:
(i) the author’s spiritual autobiography into the Life of Discipline, in which the author confirmed his vocational calling from God; (ii) the process of recovering from grief into the Life of Surrender, in which the author realized the valuable transformation in his life after his wife’s passing; (iii) the Fourfold Spiritual Journey model into the Life of Testimony, in which the author tried to formulate a deeper life practice in WAC; (iv) and the field research project into the Life of Community, in which the author practiced early morning prayer with a small group of people. The conclusion is that walking a spiritual journey with Jesus Christ in WAC is practical and achievable through practicing spiritual disciplines to achieve the awareness of God’s presence in one’s daily life, abiding in Christ to achieve a lifestyle of surrender, sharing one’s testimony to equip other disciples, and reaching out the community of faith to serve one another.Dissertation (D.

Using a Mobile Application to Create Interaction During Independent Musical Instrument Practice
No full textBibliography: leaves 150-168This research study considers the effects of the implementation of a mobile application designed for use during music students’ independent practice sessions between weekly lessons. Designed as an intrinsic case study, this research examines interactions within a shared online space, as facilitated by the mobile app called PracticeCactus. During their piano practice, a group of young, committed students, aged 10 to 15, used the app for 20 weeks, prompting an investigation of the effects of facilitating social interactions in the context of independent piano practice. Drawing on social constructivism and sociocultural theory, this research positions music learners as engaging in music learning through active experiences, in certain cultural contexts, and in the midst of interactions. Influenced by the work of James Paul Gee, the research context is conceptualized as an affinity space where learners participate in a variety of ways based on their common interest in piano playing. Participation in the affinity space, (i.e., using the PracticeCactus app), included opportunities for learners to share piano practice with their peers and to hear their peers’ contributions. In addition, the app provided opportunities for students to become aware when other students in their studio were practising. Data sources included: (a) two interviews with each student; (b) artefacts students created within the PracticeCactus app including musical recordings and comments; (c) field notes; and (d) four group music-sharing sessions. Throughout the course of the study, students’ use of the app changed, reflecting a move toward the social praxis philosophy of music learning. As a result of using PracticeCactus, students described their opportunities to play piano in a low-stakes, participatory environment, to engage in focused listening, to receive feedback and encouragement, and to share musical accomplishments. In addition, students described how the mobile app fostered social connections, affinity, and fun. Suggestions for future research are offered, as well as a discussion of implications for studio music teachers and mobile app developers.Thesis (PhD)—University of Toronto, OISE, 2018.Please use the link to the University of Toronto’s T-Space for access to the pdf of this dissertation.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] – Table of Contents – List of Tables – List of Figures – List of Appendices – Chapter 1: Introduction – Chapter 2: Literature Review – Chapter 3: Methodology – Chapter 4: Results – Chapter 5: Discussion – Chapter 6: Conclusion – References -- Appendiceshttps://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/handle/1807/9182
Designing, Implementing and Assessing a Prayer Journey for a Small Group within Richmond Hill Christian Community Church to Pray Like Jesus
No full textBibliography: leaves 204-210In 2015, the English congregation team leadership in Richmond Hill Christian Community Church acknowledged prayer as a key growth area for the congregation. Evaluative research methodology was used for the design and implementation of this project, taking a small group on a Prayer Journey. Scriptures on Jesus’ prayer practices were studied. Participants were to read about prayer, practice, update their journals, and share. Data analysis included a pre and post-project survey to assess the participants’ learning. Results indicated a deepened understanding about prayer and a desire to follow Jesus’s examples. Lessons learned were used in implementing an ongoing prayer ministry.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University College & Seminary, 2018.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]“This is a research portfolio submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry, Tyndale Seminary.”Introduction – Theological and Biblical Framework for Prayer – Literature Review for Designing a Prayer Journey – Methodology and Methods – Outcomes, Findings and Interpretation – Summary and Conclusion – Appendice

Compassion and Social Justice
No full textIncludes bibliographical referencesMost strategies for addressing poverty are based on western paradigms to analyze and respond to poverty. There is very little awareness of a rich tradition of charity and social justice in non-western religions and ethnic groups. This monograph will first look at the poor and poverty in Islam and how it has addressed the issues of responding to the needs of the poor and vulnerable in society. It also explores some of the most prevalent thinking on social change and social justice within Islam.
Socioeconomic transformation of poor and marginalized communities has emerged as a key
objective of national policy makers and international development experts. While there are emerging models and examples of how communities have emerged from poverty in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, there are very few examples of this in the Middle East. If poverty was addressed and eradicated, it was because of oil wealth. However, the Shi ‘as of Lebanon provide a case study of a community emerging from marginalization and poverty because of socioeconomic and political dynamics. This monograph in Section II explores what some of these dynamics were, and if are there lessons for other communities in the region to emulate.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] I: The Poor and Poverty in Islam: Charity and Social Justice – Chapter 1.
