King LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE WORKPLACE INTERGENERATIONAL ATMOSPHERE SCALE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM IN APPLIED SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY BY SCOTT P. KING CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2010 Copyright by Scott P. King, 2010 All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the help of numerous people. My wife, Cortney Rowland King, has been her usual patient, upbeat, loving, and encouraging self throughout the entire process. Her ability to work a full-time job and advance in her own Ph.D. in sociology has been encouraging, to say the least. My family, Steve, Pat, David, and Sarah King, has asked just enough questions to show their support, but not so many that I felt added pressure to finish.
