Recounting, rethinking, and reclaiming menstruationAshford, Teresa L. 02 June 2003 (has links)
I assessed influences on women's attitudes toward and experiences with
menarche and menstruation using feminist qualitative methodologies.
Bronfenbrenner's ecological model interpreted through a feminist lens was the
organizing framework for the study, focusing as it does on the sociohistorical and
multilayered context wherein the women developed. Fourteen college women
between the ages of 18 and 25 completed the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire
(MAQ) for Adult Females and engaged in open ended, tape-recorded interviews.
Information was gathered related to their first menstrual period their current attitudes
about menstruation, and factors they felt had influenced their beliefs about
menstruation. Special attention was focused on women who have reclaimed
menstruation as a positive, natural event. Four groups of women were created along
the continuum of menstrual attitudes. Those categories included; (a) reclaimers, (b)
positive, but not reclaimers, (c) middle, and (d) negative. Scores on the MAQ and
interview transcripts were used to support my classification of women as reclaimers
or as occupying another place along the continuum of menstrual attitudes.
The aim of this study was to examine women's views of menstruation, with a
focus on the aspects of a woman's life that have led her to possess reclaiming views
or views elsewhere on the continuum of menstrual attitudes. Key factors in leading
women to become reclaimers, included exposure to nontraditional attitudes and
alternative menstrual products from one's peers in late adolescence or early
adulthood. Reclaiming women also tended to be feminists and concerned about the
environment. Knowing the factors in a woman's life that lead her to possess
reclaiming views, makes it possible to develop educational programs that will help
other women to view their bodies and natural bodily functions in an affirmative light.
When women are able to accept their bodies and reject cultural messages that
menstruation is a dirty event and something to be hidden, there is potential for all
women's lives to be improved. It is time for more women to believe menstruation is a
natural event, worthy of celebration and pride. / Graduation date: 2004

Trust, communication and creativity in new product development teamsSiacotos, Thomas John Charles 13 March 1998 (has links)
The researcher explored interpersonal trust (a construct from the fields of psychology
and sociometry) in the context of engineering work groups. The study explored the potential
antecedents of trust and the relationships among trust, creativity, communication, emotional
empathy and positive affect. The study attempts to argue that 1) trust is deeply involved in
the neurological development of humans from a very early age, 2) the level of trust is an
important factor in the development of a person's emotional experience, 3) an individual's
level of trust can improve with experience, 4) higher levels of trust can streamline task team
performance, especially when creativity and communication are important, and 5) in
industries that use task teams and that require innovation, high levels of interpersonal trust
can be a source of competitive advantage.
Analysis of the literature of social and industrial psychology leads to the hypothesis
that trust is positively and significantly correlated with creativity, communication,
emotional empathy and positive affect. Sociometric survey research of engineers (n=43)
employed at a medical device manufacturing company fails to show support for this
hypothesis. / Graduation date: 1998

Happiness, consumption and hedonic adaptationNicolao, Leonardo, 1976- 16 October 2012 (has links)
Previous theories have suggested that consumers will be happier if they spend their money on experiences such as travel as opposed to material possessions such as automobiles. I test this experience recommendation and show that it may be misleading in its general form. Valence of the outcome significantly moderates differences in respondents' reported retrospective happiness with material versus experiential purchases. For purchases that turned out positively, experiential purchases lead to more happiness than do material purchases, as the experience recommendation suggests. However, for purchases that turned out negatively, experiences have no benefit over (and, for some types of consumers, induce significantly less happiness than) material possessions. I provide evidence that this purchase type by valence interaction is driven by the fact that consumers adapt more slowly to experiential purchases than to material purchases, leading to both greater happiness and greater unhappiness for experiential purchases. Moreover, I show that this difference in hedonic adaptation rates for material and experiential purchases is being, at least partially, driven by a difference in memory for those types of purchases. I also show that individuals mispredict hedonic adaptation rates for material and experiential purchases. Finally, I discuss implications for consumer choice. / text
