Post-secondary women's positive experiences with pornography : a grounded theory explanation of initial exposure and subsequent use of sexually explicit materialsPetzanova, Iordanka, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Education January 2010 (has links)
The intent of this research thesis is the examination of post-secondary women’s positive
experiences with pornography. Very little research has been conducted with women who
enjoy pornography and yet recent statistics in Canada and the United States show that
there is an increasing amount of female users of pornography (Cantor, Mares, & Hyde,
2003). This study presents an emerging grounded theory of the process through which a
small group of post-secondary women come to label their experiences with pornography
as positive. The study traces the experiences of four post-secondary women in Western
Canada from their initial exposure to pornography to their current use of the material.
Results showed the importance of personal control in the development of female sexual
identity and the enjoyment of pornography. This study is embedded in a social
constructionist theoretical framework and offers recommendations for further research in
the area.

Body cathexis and the ideal female figure of black and white college femalesBarcus, Sonja Marie January 1990 (has links)
The body cathexis and "ideal" female figure for Black college females and White college females were investigated. The Body Cathexis Scale was administered to determine students' level of satisfaction with their bodies. Self reports of each student's ideal female measurements were also examined. It was hypothesized that Black college females tend to possess greater satisfaction with their body image than White college females. Black college females were hypothesized to report less restrictive measurements for what they believe would make up the ideal female figure than White college females. Results showed that some significant differences were found between Black and White college females. Of the 46 items on the Body Cathexis Scale, significant differences between Black and White college females were found on seven items with five indicating higher satisfaction of Black college females and two indicating that White college females had higher satisfaction. Of the five measurements of ideal female figure, only one differed significantly with the Black college females possessing a less restrictive measurement. Thirty-nine items on the Body Cathexis Scale and four on the ideal female figure measurements showed no significant difference. Therefore, the hypothesis of Black college females being more satisfied with their bodies and reporting less restrictive ideal female figure measurements than White college females was not supported. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

The prediction of college students' intentions to live with a gay or lesbian roommate : an application of the theory of reasoned actionCrawford, Anne M. January 1991 (has links)
The present study investigated the applicability of the theory of reasoned action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980) to attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. Specifically, the investigation sought to examine individuals' intentions to request or not to request a new, heterosexual roommate given that they have been assigned a gay (or lesbian) roommate. The purpose of the investigation was to test the mediating role of respondents' perceptions of the expectations of important persons in their lives (termed subjective norm) and their attitudes toward the specific behavior of requesting a new roommate (termed attitude toward the act). An alternative to the Ajzen-Fishbein model was tested to determine whether the variables of acquaintance with a member of the target group, sex, and attitude toward the target predict request. Phase One assessed the modal beliefs and the normative beliefs of 98 students in a university population through self-report data gathered in a free response format. Phase Two investigated the relationship between the attitudes and subjective norm of 238 university students and their intention to request a new roommate with a questionnaire format developed from the responses in Phase One. The AjzenFishbein variables mediated the variables of acquaintance with a gay or lesbian, sex of the respondent, and a general attitude toward the target when predicting the request of a heterosexual roommate. / Department of Psychological Science

The effects of course frequency on attitudes toward physical education of college students enrolled in a physical education unitUrtel, Mark G. January 1992 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of course frequency on attitudes of college students toward physical education. A secondary purpose was to establish the effects of fitness level on attitudes toward physical education. Finally, the interaction of course frequency and fitness level on attitudes toward physical education was to be identified.Students enrolled for PEG 124 (n = 97) served as subjects for this study. There were 68 male subjects and 29 female subjects. The three times a week course frequency had 42 subjects, whereas the two times a week course frequency had 55 subjects.Subjects completed an adaptation of Adam’s (162) survey on attitudes toward physical education the first week of class and the last week of class. To estimate each subjects fitness level, the Rockport Institute’s One-Mile Walk Test was administered.A 2x3x2 ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that course frequency, as well as fitness level, had no significant effect on attitudes toward physical education. Moreover, the interaction between course frequency and fitness level was non-existent. Further analysis did reveal that there was a significant change in attitudes from the pre-test attitude survey to the post-test attitude survey for the entire sample. However, this change could not be attributed to any of the variables that were analyzed in this study. There also was no statistically significant difference in attitudes toward physical education between males and females. / School of Physical Education

College students' knowledge of blood donationLeroy, Stephanie A. January 1998 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of college students with regard to blood donation in order to be able to create an education program to recruit new donors. After creating a table of specifications, a questionnaire was designed and reviewed by a jury of experts, and then tested in a pilot study. In the final study, 782 usable questionnaires were completed; the majority of students from the convenience sample were female (60.9%), under the age of 21 (93.1%), white (86.2%), non-Hispanic (95.8%), and had earned some college credits (61.4%).The data were analyzed using mean, t-tests, and ANOVA to test five null hypotheses. The overall knowledge (60%) of the subjects was less (M = 13.11 out of a possible 22) than anticipated. Statistically significant differences in knowledge of blood donation was found between college males and females (p < 0 .028), among students by education level (p < 0.047), and among students who were frequent, occasional, and nondonors (p < 0.000). No difference was found in the knowledge of blood donation among students by age. / Department of Physiology and Health Science

Perceived severity of the consequences of physical inactivity across the stages of change in college studentsKobza, Cara L. January 2001 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to determine if perceived severity of the consequences of physical inactivity is an important component for exercise motivation in college students. The participants of the study were 581 college students who had enrolled in HSC 160, Fundamentals of Human Health, at Ball State University during the spring semester of 2001. Using a cross-sectional data collection process, participants completed a survey instrument consisting of the stages of change for exercise scale, the perceived severity of the consequences of physical inactivity scale, and demographic questions.The data were analyzed using both univariate and bivariate analyses. Specific descriptive and inferential statistic analyses were used to: 1) determine the degree of association between the participants' perceived severity and their identified stages of change for exercise, 2) examine the relationship between the stages of change for exercise and the participants' demographic characteristics, and 3) determine the difference between perceived severity of consequences of physical inactivity and the Participants' demographic characteristics. / Department of Physiology and Health Science
