The cognitive apprehensions regarding drinking water among educated Americans and Arabs living in MiddletownMousa, Arij M. 20 July 2013 (has links)
This qualitative study described and compared the cognitive apprehensions regarding
drinking water quality (DW) in Muncie, Indiana, USA. The comparison was between two
different, culturally elite groups using constructive-grounded theory. Eighteen semistructured
interviews were conducted with both Arab (n=9) and American (n=9)
participants. Five essential themes emerged from the interview data: the sensory
properties of drinking water, pollutants, health concerns, information sources, and
experience.
The data from this study is grounded to the epistemologies regarding drinking
water. The epistemologies differ between the Arab and American groups due to social
factors, such as ethnicity, culture, and past experiences. The study showed that the two
groups in the study perceived knowledge regarding drinking water in different ways. The study showed that the educated Arabs had different cognitive apprehensions
regarding drinking water compared to educated Americans due to their previous
experiences with drinking water quality in their home countries and their lack of interest
in the local media. However, similar findings regarding beliefs about pollutants and
diseases in drinking water were shared between the groups. The grounded study found
that each group had different behaviors regarding drinking water, and it developed a
theory that described how different epistemologies lead to different actions regarding
drinking water among different ethnicities.
Some recommendations based on the study findings endorse that the government
agencies should provide a readily accessible publication about the drinking water quality
to the community. It is recommended that the government agencies promote the
dissemination of water quality studies’ findings through mass media, social media, and
other means of communications with the public. In addition, recommendations should
also be provided to enhance the local environmental awareness of international students
at universities. / Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management

Attitudes of Arabs in Israel toward help seeking, given levels of cultural mistrust and ethnicity of help provider / Title on signature form: Attitudes of Arabs in Israel toward help seeking, given leves of cultural mistrust and ethnicity of help provider / Attitudes toward help seekingDaoud, Jamalat 14 December 2013 (has links)
This study was designed to explore the relationship between attitudes toward
help seeking, the ethnicity of the psychological help provider, and the level of
cultural mistrust toward Jews. A sample of 102 Israeli Arab undergraduate students
from Haifa, Israel, participated in this study. It was hypothesized that attitudes
toward help seeking, as measured by Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional
Psychological Help-Short Form (ATSPPH-S) and the Beliefs About Psychological
Services (BAPS), will be related to the ethnicity of the psychological help provider
and to the level of cultural mistrust toward Jews. A 2 x 2 between subjects
multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was employed. No significant
relationship was found between attitudes toward help seeking, the ethnicity of the
psychological help provider, and the level of cultural mistrust toward Jews.
However, ANOVAs revealed that Freshmen had more favorable attitudes toward
seeking professional psychological help as measured by ATSPPH-S than fourth and
fifth year students and that sophomores had more favorable attitudes toward
seeking psychological help as measured by BAPS than fourth and fifth year students.
The results of the logistic regression indicated that Muslim and Christian
participants are three times more likely to choose an Arab help provider than Druze
participants. Further, the probability of choosing an Arab psychological help
provider increased significantly as the participant’s level of cultural mistrust, in the
domains of Politics and Law and Interpersonal Relations increased. On the other
hand, the probability of choosing an Arab psychological help provider decreased
significantly when participants had previous psychological help, and when their
level of cultural mistrust increased in the domain of Business and Work. Results
indicated strong significant correlations between attitudes toward help seeking and
variables such as father’s highest level of education, previous psychological help,
age, and year in school. Significant correlations between beliefs about psychological
help and year in school and gender were found. The level of cultural mistrust
correlated significantly with religion, ethnicity of psychological help provider, previous psychological help, age, and gender. Limitations and implications for future
research and practice are presented. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
