  • Mental Health Among Young Women in Saudi Arabia: a Mixed Methods
    Mental Health Among Young Women In Saudi Arabia: A mixed Methods Approach Hissah Alzahrani A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Central Lancashire May, 2019 i Declaration I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate: Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: School of Psychology ii Abstract This thesis aims to gain an understanding of the mental health of young women in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this broad aim, this thesis, which encompasses two studies, employs a mixed methods approach. Study 1 is a longitudinal quantitative study that aims to examine the trajectories of university students ’ mental health—via the change in their mental health and their ability to adjust—by assessing them over three time points during their first year at university. This study also examined whether theoretically relevant determinants, such as trait emotional intelligence (EI), emotional self-efficacy (ESE), social support and loneliness, affected the students’ mental health trajectories and adjustment to university life. The results show that the mean level of mental health problems was low and did not change significantly over time, while the adjustment level decreased over the first year of university. The results indicated that even in students with a high adjustment level in the beginning of their university year, the level decreased over time.

  • The Prevention of Trauma Reactions Tracey Varker Doctor of Philosophy
    The Prevention of Trauma Reactions Tracey Varker Doctor of Philosophy July 2009 Tracey Varker PhD Thesis Abstract Abstract Exposure to traumatic or stressful events has been linked to the development of trauma symptomatology in a minority of individuals for some time now. Although there have been many studies which have examined the nature and aetiology of trauma reactions, few researchers have examined whether it is possible to prevent reactions to trauma. This is somewhat surprising, given the impact that an adverse trauma reaction can have to both an individual and an organisation (if the individual is also an employee). One exception is the body of work which has been created by researchers who investigated the psychological intervention known as psychological debriefing. This intervention has been designed to be administered immediately after an individual experiences a traumatic event, and is said to mitigate an individual’s reaction to trauma. The scientific evidence for this intervention, however, has been equivocal. At the time that this thesis was being prepared, there were only two published randomised controlled trials of group debriefing. In addition, the impact of psychological debriefing upon an individual’s memory for a traumatic event had never before been examined. This is important to note, because in many instances an individual who is a witness to a crime, will receive psychological debriefing before they give a statement to police officers. For Study 1, a randomised controlled trial of group debriefing was conducted. The aim was to assess the effect of this intervention upon eyewitness memory for a stressful event and eyewitness stress reactions, with a sample drawn from the general community ( n = 61).

  • Framing in Design
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED15 27-30 JULY 2015, POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY FRAMING IN DESIGN: A FORMAL ANALYSIS AND FAILURE MODES Vermaas, Pieter (1); Dorst, Kees (2,3); Thurgood, Clementine (2) 1: Delft University of Technology, Netherlands; 2: University of Technology Sydney, Australia; 3: Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands Abstract This contribution presents a formal description of the design practice of framing and identifies two general modes in which framing can lead to failure in design projects. The first is called the goal reformulation failure mode and occurs when designers reformulate the goal of the client in a design task and give design solutions that solve the reformulated goal but not the original goal. The second is called the frame failure mode and occurs when designers propose a frame for the design task that cannot be accepted by the client. The analysis of framing and its failure modes is aimed at better understanding this design practice and provides a first step towards arriving at criteria that successful applications of framing should meet. The description and the failure modes are illustrated by critically considering an initially successful case of framing, namely the redesign of the Kings Cross entertainment district in Sydney. Keywords: Framing, Design Theory, Design methodology, Failure modes Contact: Dr. Pieter Vermaas TU Delft Netherlands, The [email protected] Please cite this paper as: Surnames, Initials: Title of paper. In: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED15), Vol. nn: Title of Volume, Milan, Italy, 27.-30.07.2015 ICED15 1 1 INTRODUCTION One of the powerful practices in the toolkit of designers and design thinkers is the framing of a design task, that is, the creation of a new perspective on a design task.

  • Empowering Young People to Own Their Economic Success
    Empowering young people to own their economic success Mission Report 2012-2013 Inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Dear Partner, As our nation focuses its attention on ways to create jobs and spur economic growth, Junior Achievement (JA) continues to expand the depth and reach of its programs. We have done so by providing 149,500 young people with relevant, experiential learning opportunities centered on financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. JA’s unique approach relies on volunteers from the community who deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. The dynamic interaction between students, educators and volunteers promotes active learning while bringing theory to life. The JA experience establishes the foundation on which young people can build the skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in a fast-paced world. The case for JA has never been stronger and we are excited to build on the success of this past year with a focus for the future on the following: • Strengthen economic literacy by delivering elementary programs sequentially with school districts committed to long-term partnerships. • Accelerate growth of our high school programs to enhance student skills in financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. • Partner to reach students out of school, expanding the learning day and providing students with experiences that promote their roles as citizens, consumers and workers. • Grow our capstone programs (JA BizTown, JA Finance Park, JA Company Program, JA Job Shadow and JA Titan) to equip students with 21st century skills that will benefit them in the real world.

Inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. jaum.org Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest 1800 White Bear Avenue North, Maplewood, MN 55109 tel: 651.255.0055 | fax: 651.255.0460 | www.jaum.org Design: Richard Hart Design | Printing: AFPI www.jaum.org Dear Partner: This past school year, thousands of community volunteers donated their time and expertise in the classroom, working with teachers and students to teach personal finance, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. As a result, students in grades K-12 learned real-world skills that will help them succeed in school and beyond. Thank you! In light of the painful economic lessons recently learned by governments, families and businesses, there is an even greater need to educate our youth about how to effectively manage money and prepare for their future. JA programs teach 21st century skills and offer real-world experiences. In the coming year, JAUM is focusing on the following strategies to keep our organization relevant: • Integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers at JA BizTown and introduce STEM into our K-12 curriculum • Educate students of different backgrounds and ethnicities about financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship • Incorporate innovative teaching methods into our learning facility and into our curriculum such as smart board technology, video lessons and personal devices • Offer real-life experiences (job shadows, competitions, capstone projects) to expose students to opportunities beyond their classroom • Conduct local evaluations to validate learning and JAUM’s impact on student motivation As we embark on another exciting year, we look to you for continued support to help connect students with educators and business people to build a more fiscally savvy community.
