Conduct Disorder is a disruptive behavior disorder listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). Considering the prevalence and severity of Conduct Disorder and the social and economic impact, research is needed to address subtype and comorbidity. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of Conduct Disorder age of onset by comparing neuropsychological functioning between adolescents diagnosed with Conduct Disorder, childhood-onset and adolescents diagnosed with the adolescent onset subtype of Conduct Disorder. In addition, the study will investigate the impact of a comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis. Exploration into the neuropsychological functioning of Conduct Disorder while considering comorbidity with ADHD is needed to clarify cognitive functioning profiles of children and adolescents diagnosed with Conduct Disorder. / text

In response to the overemphasis on cognition in understanding the moral domain, this study attempted to draw attention to the contribution personality can make. To do this, people affiliated with health, social and religious organizations were contacted and asked to nominate young adults whom they considered to be moral exemplars. Forty nominated moral exemplars participated in the study, along with forty comparison individuals who were matched to the exemplar group on age, gender, years of education, and ethnicity. Each person was given a battery of questionnaires, as well as participated in a life narrative interview. It was found that, in contrast to the comparison group, moral exemplars possessed a different personality disposition with these individuals rating themselves higher on the trait dimension of Agreeableness. On development-related measures, moral exemplars were found to be more mature in their thinking as reflected in higher scores on Faith Development and Moral Reasoning. As well, moral exemplars were further along in their identity formation as revealed in lower scores on Identity Diffusion. Within the stories regarding their life's high points, more agentic themes were found in those stories coming from moral exemplars. However, when it came to managing their everyday projects, moral exemplars were more disorganized. These diverse findings are discussed in reference to the contributions they make to the formation of a moral identity in the early adult years.

The thesis was designed to determine the nature, type, and scope of drug use existing on the Ball State University Campus. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to a ten percent stratified random sample of undergraduate students with a proportional allocation of ten percent from each of the four college years.Results of the survey revealed drug use (use for other than medically prescribed reasons) by 31.5 percent of the sample. Ball State students who used drugs were likely: To be 21 to 22 years of age, to be males, to be juniors, to major in the Science of Humanities, to be divorced, to specify “none” for religious affiliation, to live in off-campus unapproved housing, to have a grade point average of 1.5 to 2.0, to have parents with incomes of $15,000-$20,000, to have begun their use of drugs as college sophomores, to have received their first drugs from friends, to have used, to be currently using, and to anticipate continuing to use the drug, marijuana, and to give curiosity as their main reason for using drugs.

Bakgrund: Code of Conduct är ett verktyg som används i syfte att förbättra arbete med Corporate Social Responsibility. Det kan beskrivas som en regelsamling för hur företag ska agera i olika situationer och kan ses som ett instrument för att skapa en socialt ansvarsfull kultur. Code of Conduct berör områden som socialt ansvar och miljö. Forskning ifrågasätter huruvida företag använder sin Code of Conduct i PR-syfte eller om företag använder den för att göra gott i samhället. Det finns svårigheter att säkerhetsställa att leverantörer lever upp till företags CoC och vad konsekvenserna blir för de leverantörer som inte efterlever denna. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka varför företag arbetar med en CoC.  Detta för att öka kunskapen kring vad företagen gör för att fylla gapet mellan uttalad CoC och leverantörers grad av efterlevnad, samt undersöka vilka konsekvenser som uppstår vid avsaknad av efterlevnad. Metod: Studien är av kvalitativ art och har utförts genom en flerfallstudie. Fyra företag har studerats med hjälp av en semistrukturerad intervju på respektive företag. Urvalet av företag är ett bekvämlighetsurval. Studien har ett postpositvistiskt synsätt och använder sig av abduktion som angreppssätt. Slutsats: Anledningar till användandet av CoC varierar mellan olika företag. Gemensamt är att företag använder sig av en CoC för att förbättra människans välbefinnande. Det kvarstår fortfarande om detta främst är i PR-syfte eller ej. För att säkerhetsställa leverantörers leverlevnad av CoC används främst revisioner i olika utformande. Bryter leverantörer mot de krav som ställs i en CoC leder detta till två huvudkonsekvenser, handlingsplaner och avslutade samarbeten.
