Learning From Teaching: Benefits of Peer Leadership for Peer Leaders in Psychology
No full textPeer leader programs train students in supporting introductory learners in traditional classrooms via instructional sessions of peer-to-peer learning. Assessments of these programs typically focus on benefits to learners rather than leaders, with any gains for leaders shown via self-reported growth measures. This study examined benefits to leaders using additional indexes such as standardized scores of content knowledge and grade point average. Participants were high-achieving psychology students who underwent a pedagogical training program and led instructional sessions for learners weekly. We found evidence that peer leaders experience gains in content knowledge, academic success, and career readiness. Peer leader programs serve as useful additions to academic programs by aiding learning in classrooms and improving leadership abilities and content knowledge in advanced students
Identify Encrypted Packets to Detect Stepping-Stone Intrusion
No full textMost attackers exploit stepping-stone to launch their attacks to avoid being captured. An encrypted TCP session established by attackers using ssh makes stepping-stone intrusion detection harder than non-encrypted sessions. Even though the contents of an encrypted packet are not readable, its header fields in different layers are not encrypted. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to detect stepping-stone intrusion based on IP address, port number, TCP packet flags, and the length of an encrypted packet. A preliminary experimental result in a local area network shows that the proposed algorithm cannot only detect stepping-stone intrusion, but also resist intruders’ session manipulation
From the Brooklyn Bridge to Pennsylvania Highway 11: Bernard Herrmann’s score for “the Hitch-Hiker” from radio drama to The Twilight Zone
No full textThe reuse of storylines from radio dramas on early television was not uncommon; indeed, much of the television programming of this period consisted of repurposed radio scripts. The scores for these radio dramas were often reused, as well. Music from radio dramas was recycled into new television contexts, or the radio dramas and their music were adapted into television shows. The literature often does not discuss these radio-to-television adaptations, let alone their music. This article discusses the appropriation of radio music in The Twilight Zone in the context of Lucille Fletcher’s radio drama ‘The Hitch-Hiker,’ her reworking of the drama into a staged play, and Rod Serling’s version for The Twilight Zone (1960). Bernard Herrmann’s score for the radio drama was repurposed for the television version, and its function in both versions, depending on the author/adaptor’s agenda, created a profound change in the story trajectory. The addition of several gendered musical cues in the television version, for example, helped to shape the musical portrayal of an independent career woman of the 1950s

A Mixed Methods Investigation of Participation of Black Students and Education Abroad
Get PDFThe participation rate of Black higher education students in education abroad programs has been significantly compared to their White peers. The purpose of this concurrent mixed methods research study was to examine the participation rate of Black higher education students in education abroad programs by exploring student perceptions relative to barriers and motivations, utilizing the Cultural Approach as the conceptual framework, specifically the economic, social, and intellectual cultural spheres of influence. A web-based questionnaire with quantitative and qualitative items was completed by 248 Black participants and 206 White participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using two logistic regressions, and the qualitative data were analyzed using memoing, segmenting, coding, enumeration, and theme generation. Institutional Factors was the only predicting variable that was statistically significant. The qualitative results suggested that higher education students consider location of program, pacing relative to graduation, program costs, family and employment obligations, length of program, topic of study, and desired learning targets, when deciding whether or not to participate in education abroad programs. Furthermore, participants perceived that higher education students often do not have access to information relative to education abroad programs. Implications include utilizing needs-based financial assistance and specific institutional data in order to design appropriate initiatives to improve equity and provide the benefits associated with education abroad programs to disadvantaged students. In addition, higher education institutions could develop policies and procedures to meet student needs relative to barriers and motivation to improve participation rates for Black higher education students
Relationship Between Supervisors\u27 Servant Leadership and Police Officers Job Satisfaction
Get PDFRecent police killings of unarmed African Americans in the United States and the subsequent protests and demonstrations against police brutality have resulted in more focus on the importance of collaborative relationships between law enforcement agencies and their communities. This quantitative correlational research study was conducted in one southern United States police department that incorporated a servant leadership philosophy, including its leaders being publicly heralded for their servant leadership practices that positively impacted its relationship with its community. The study examined if a relationship existed between perceived servant leadership of law enforcement leaders and line police officers’ job satisfaction. The study’s participants n=31 completed the Servant Leadership Scale to measure servant leadership characteristics and Job Descriptive Index to measure employee job satisfaction. Results indicated a statistically significant relationship between servant leadership and employee job satisfaction of the police officers in the department
The Impact of Scholarship in Servant Leadership: Journals and Institutions
Get PDFThis study examines the impact of research published in the two academic journals in servant leadership – International Journal of Servant-Leadership and the Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice. Although various metrics suggest that the latter (and younger) journal has generally been more impactful, other metrics indicate that more “home run” research has thus far appeared in the former (and older) outlet. Analysis of the institution-based data reveals that affiliates of the Spears Center for Servant Leadership have produced the most impactful research in servant leadership, followed by those faculty and others at Regent University, Utah Valley University, Our Lady of the Lake University and Indiana Wesleyan University. Other prominent institutions in the servant leadership realm include Ashford University, Gonzaga University, the U.S. Army, Palm Beach Atlantic University and Southeastern University
Fexit: The effect of political and promotional communication from friends and family on Facebook exiting intentions
No full text© 2020 Elsevier Inc. Facebook enjoys worldwide popularity, but public trust in the site is waning. Some users are exiting Facebook while others are decreasing the intensity and frequency in which they engage with the site. Many brands rely on social media, but consumers’ changing behaviors, coupled with Facebook\u27s algorithm changes, may force brands to switch social media marketing strategies. This research uses exiting behavior, social capital, and closeness as theoretical lenses to explore why Facebook users decrease or eliminate their use of the site in the “post-trust era” of Facebook. A mixed-methods approach is used across three studies. Findings suggest that Facebook users feel freer to express themselves and are less likely to leave Facebook over their interactions with non-family than with family. While brand-focused and political posts negatively affect future Facebook use, there are important differences regarding aligned versus opposing political content from family and non-family. Theoretical and managerial implications are offered
