Grounded Theory Focus Group Findings in Combat Veterans With Driving Performance Issues
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
Combat veterans (CVs) face an increased risk of motor vehicle crash and report driving difficulty that impacts community reintegration. Grounded theory methods were used to examine CVs’ driving perception and behaviors. Clinicians working with this population can use findings to tailor interventions.

The interaction of images and text during comprehension of garden-path sentences: is integration better than good enough?
Full text link"One of the main goals of reading is to construct a discourse representation. However, when information in the discourse is confusing or ambiguous, readers are often not able to create a fluid, accurate understanding of the text. Decades of research on temporarily ambiguous garden-path sentences have given the field of psycholinguistics a comprehensive understanding of how readers process, and often misinterpret, garden-path sentences. Both online and offline data demonstrate that when reading garden-path sentences (e.g., As the guard and officer wrestled the thief that was fleeing fell down the stairs), readers may not arrive at the correct, syntactically-licensed interpretation (i.e., that the guard and officer are wrestling each other) despite apparent reanalysis. The garden-path sentence processing model claims that readers often parse sentences by developing only shallow representations of the structure, and thus never return from ""down the garden path"" to arrive at the correct, syntactically licensed interpretation (Ferreira, Ferraro, & Bailey, 2002; Ferreira & Patson, 2007).
In this dissertation, I seek to test the bounds of the garden-path model of sentence processing by investigating contextual influences on language processing. Specifically, how are reading processes are affected by the presence of extralinguistic information (e.g., imagery) with garden-path sentences. If readers are able to properly make use of linguistic (words) and nonlinguistic (pictorial) information, does it help them avoid inaccurate interpretation? For means of comparison, a related question is the role of imagery on linguistic disambiguation for less proficient readers who might rely more on the nonlinguistic code (e.g., nonnative speakers). I approach the issue of visual and linguistic (multimedia) processing by investigating specifically whether or not nonnative speakers of English, compared to native speakers, rely differently on non-linguistic information to parse and understand ambiguous, garden-path sentences."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I only', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Cassie Palmer, accepted the attached license on 2015-04-15 at 12:37.The student, Cassie Palmer, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-04-15 at 12:41.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2015-04-20 at 10:29.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #7870 on 2015-07-22 at 14:17:54Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:33:23Z (GMT).

The impact of principal leadership style, school climate, and teacher performance evaluation results upon student achievement, 1989
Full text linkPurpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of principal leadership style, school climate, and teacher performance evaluation results upon student achievement. The study investigated the degree of perceptual differences between teachers and principals, from effective and ineffective schools, relative to the principal's leadership behavior and the climate of the school. Methods and Procedures: Two-Hundred and twelve teachers and twenty principals were randomly selected to participate in the study, which consisted of twenty schools, 10 effective and 10 ineffective. Each of the teachers and principals completed two questionnaires: the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) and the Organizational Climate: Description Questionnaire (OCDQ-RE). Teacher performance evaluation data was gathered from each of the participating schools through the Georgia Teacher Evaluation Instrument (GTEI). Student achievement levels were based upon the results from the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS). A descriptive research design was utilized. Multiple correlations, t-tests, and correlation regressions were used to test the hypotheses. The level of significance was set at E < .05. Results: Six of the seventeen hypotheses of no difference were accepted. Teachers and principals differed significantly relative to their perceptions of the principal's leadership style and the climate of the school. The ineffective school principal's leadership style was significantly related to student achievement. The leadership style of the principal was not significantly related to school climate. Teacher performance was not significantly related to any of the other variables. Conclusions and Recommendations: The results of the study indicated that the variables of principal leadership style, school climate, and teacher performance evaluation results, are related to achievement under specific circumstances. The researcher recommends that further studies be conducted, isolating those variables against each other in a field-based setting in order to better understand the impact upon the achievement of students
Black political empowerment in rural Mississippi: the cases of Mound Bayou, Fayette, Bolton, Shelby and Tchula, 1982
No full textThis study looks at black empowerment in five rural Mississippi towns with black mayors by analyzing the impact they have had in attempting to alter the socioeconomic status of blacks in their respective towns. The following indicators were used to measure the political effectiveness of black mayors in reordering the socioeconomic status of blacks: (1) distribution of governmental services to the black community; (2) employment and economic development; (3) housing; and (4) health care. This study was initiated because of the recent changes in the political position of blacks in Mississippi and the American South in general. It was also Chief Oliver Anderson. 34 In May 1979, United States District Court Judge Orman R. Smith, Jr., awarded Crowe 11,000 in attorney's fees and $1,363.97 in expenses for the suit he brought against city officials after he lost in the 1973 municipal election. A third case is pending in federal court alleging that Crowe was deprived of the right to be on the ballot in the 1977 city election, an election in which he ran for Alderman. The current suit further alleges that Mound Bayou officials denied many residents the right to vote in the 1977 municipal election. In addition, the suit charges that officials rigged the city voting machines to reject ballots that were not marked for a slate of candidates controlled by Mayor Lucas; as a result over 1,100 votes were invalid. The final intrablack conflict to be mentioned centers around a move to change the name of the local high school from John F. Kennedy Memorial High School back to its original name - Mound Bayou High School. In 1963, immediately; after the death of President John F. Kennedy, the Interview with Milburn Crowe, 10 March, 1980. undertaken because of the need to question those social scientists who accept the usual assumption that voting and black empowerment are prior conditions for changing the socioeconomic status of blacks in the American South. The findings of this study, however, reveal that voting and black empowerment will bring few changes in the socioeconomic makeup of the black community. In fact, the economic plight of black constituents and the fiscal situations of political subdivisions controlled by blacks will, in many cases, worsen

Playing Through Tragedy: A Critical Approach to Welcoming Children’s Social Worlds and Play as Pedagogy
Full text linkChildren’s play frequently reflects the ways they understand and cope with personal life experiences and those in the wider world. Drawing connections to many of the tenants of Jonathan Silin’s lifelong work, the author offers illustrative examples of why play and children\u27s social worlds matter as well as why adults should pay attention to what children do and say in their play. Through personal stories, the author shows how integrating play(full) experiences into the daily life of a classroom can foster children\u27s understanding of seemingly difficult or adult ideas and events that may be confusing, fear-inducing or represent significant loss. Ultimately, the author highlights the possiblities and hope inherent in children\u27s play as they reimagine more just futures
