ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University School of Education Title: UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DILIGENCE INVENTORY-HIGHER EDUCATION EDITION AND THE MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR IN THE ADMISSION OF COLLEGE STUDENTS TO AN ORTHOPAEDICS BASED HONORS PROGRAM Name of researcher: Michael A. Harstine Name and degree of faculty chair: Hinsdale Bernard, Ph.D. Date completed: May 2007 Problem The Orthopaedic Scholar Institute (OSI) Team realized its need for a more objective selection and admission process that, as much as possible, quantified the characteristics desired in OSI students rather than relying solely on referral perception, intuition, and an interview, but it did not have a clear method or approach to do so. Administering standardized inventories that highlighted these desired characteristics and aided in the selection and admission process seemed to be an objective approach to obtain more quantifiable data. The problem for my study was, therefore, whether the Myers- Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) alone could measure a student’s diligence and. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Method This ex-post facto study compared the responses from freshmen in a Midwestern liberal arts college on two standardized inventories (i.e., MBTI and Diligence Inventory- Higher Education [DI-HE]). Factor Analysis was completed on the DI-HE. A one-way ANOVA was performed to determine the relationship between the responses. Results The findings yielded a relationship between the judger (“J”) and the sensor - judger (“SJ”) preferences on the MBTI, and the DI-HE. This suggests that the MBTI and the DI-HE could be used in the selection process for admission into the Orthopaedic Scholar Institute because both instruments appear to measure behaviors consistent with diligence; however, the use of the DI-HE in the selection process for OSI appears to be duplicative because of the similarity of results. Conclusions In order to conclude that the DI-HE would be a useful instrument in the selection and admission process to the Orthopaedic Scholar Institute, the findings had to demonstrate that candidates with a high level of diligence, as measured by the DI-HE, would be evenly dispersed across MBTI types. Because of the strong relationship between the DI-HE and the “J” (judger) on the MBTI, however, I concluded that the DI- HE is too similar to the MBTI in measuring diligence and should not be administered as a component of the selection process for OSI.

    Executing Risk-Based LUST Site Closures in R10 Indian Country

    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 10 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900 Seattle, WA 98101-3140 OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT Reply To: OCE-082 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Executing Risk-Based LUST Site Closures in R10 Indian Country FROM: Rob Rau, Ground Water Unit TO: Interested Parties Purpose and Statement of Problem: The purpose of this memo is to provide guidance in executing risk-based leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site closures in Region 10 Indian Country based on human health considerations. It is also intended to promote a consistent decision making process that can address unique site considerations and circumstances. Closing LUST sites that do not meet lookup cleanup concentrations may range from the use of formal risk assessment procedures with the imposition of institutional controls such as deed restrictions, to making a best professional judgment determination that a site does not pose an adverse health risk based on the evaluation of a conceptual site model developed from site-specific data. With this understanding, Region 10 recognizes that between a clean site closure and a comprehensive site-specific risk assessment there is a continuum of activities that could comprise a risk-based closure strategy. In general however, more robust and thorough scientific site evaluations are always preferred, and it is generally not appropriate to close a contaminated site that does not meet cleanup standards simply because it is “good enough” or because it is not practical to do more cleanup. Since few risk-based LUST site closures have been completed at EPA-lead sites, and many questions remain regarding technical implementation and policy decisions, this memo should be regarded as a “living” document, and reevaluated and updated regularly as additional policy decisions are made both regionally and nationally.

Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven? Eric Clapton In this article we investigate the affordances of music listening during a parent’s grieving process following the loss of a child, and what these affordances may tell us about music and grieving processes more generally. The discussion is based on a as a mediating tool for emotion knowledge. narrative by Janne that is taken from a longer interview related to music experience at different stages in the grieving process and emphasises its relational aspects—that Janne describes her reliance upon music is, how she experienced the music as a process of ‘reaching out’ (or in) in the context of her chaotic ‘bubble of grief’. The interview was guided by principles derived from the hermeneutic-phenomenological tradition, and the present analysis draws upon this tradition as well but also integrates narrative theory and contemporary music psychology research. We then present the results in relation to theories of emotion knowledge, grief and receptive music therapy. Introduction Imagine yourself as a researcher, beginning ‘just another interview’: A while after the usual entrance question; “If I ask you to tell me about a music experience that is connected to rather strong emotions, what pops up in your mind then?” the inter- viewee says… “…when I lost my own child…”.

ABSTRACT Research suggests that early childhood is a sensitive developmental period for social and emotional development, and early intervention leading to social-emotional skills in preschool years is significantly associated with positive outcomes later in life. Many preschool children are reported to already experience social-emotional problems, but very few teachers have received training to implement social-emotional development programs. Educational institutions must carry the responsibility of promoting children’s social and emotional development because most young children spend the majority of their time learning and socializing in school. This study sought to add to current literature by looking into the effects of student grade level as well as teacher training and experience on the efficacy of the implementation of social-emotional skills training. Results suggested that students (N = 241) demonstrated a trend of decreasing negative behaviors and increasing positive behaviors after the social-emotional skills training interventions.
