Class of 2005 Abstract / Objectives: To determine the frequency with which students living in a dormitory at a large state university share prescription controlled substances. Methods: Questionnaires which collected information about sharing of controlled substances were administered outside Manzanita residence hall. The questionnaire consisted of 11 questions and included what medications were shared, the frequency and reasons for sharing, and effects experienced; data on gender and age were also collected. Results: Questionnaires were completed by 80 males and 46 females. Fifty-one percent of males and 35% of females reported sharing controlled substances. The most commonly shared medications were pain killers (26 males and 9 females) and amphetamines (21 males and 7 females), with benzodiazepines being the next most commonly shared category of controlled substances (10 males and 4 females). Most students reported sharing controlled substances for recreational purposes, with study aid purposes being the second most reported reason. Few students reported sharing controlled substances for medical purposes. Implications: Controlled substances are frequently shared among students living in Manzanita Hall at Arizona State University for both recreational use and as study aids. Few students share controlled substances for medical purposes.

The purpose was to assess the extent of use of Making Achievement Possible reports in aiding hall directors in making decisions for their hall in five areas: academic initiatives, hall activities, disciplinary proceedings, conversations with students, and assessing community. Current hall directors were surveyed during January 2002 regarding use of MAP reports in these areas. Two focus groups were held to gain more specific examples of report use, to determine possible changes, and to identify factors that affect use in decision-making. It was determined that the reports are used in academic initiatives, disciplinary proceedings, and in assessing community strengths, but are not used in other areas of job responsibility. Issues that affected use included time, training, and the amount of information found on the report. Training in basic research methodology and in applying results to practice could lead to better utilization of the MAPP reports in hall decision-making. / Department of Educational Studies

This study examined the impact that personal transition issues have on the work performance and satisfaction of new professionals in housing and residence life positions. Current first-year professionals in these positions were surveyed and interviewed using materials created for this research.New professionals felt that their personal transition has a significant impact on their overall satisfaction and performance in the work environment. They also expressed a desire for institutions to be more aware of these issues and more intentional in assisting with them. The survey population identified a number of correlations between personal transition issues, work performance, and work satisfaction. They offered examples of ways their institutions helped them in their transition, as well as suggestions for additional steps that can and should be taken. / Department of Educational Leadership

This study was concerned with determining if: (1) the effectiveness of residence hall student government varies according to the perceptions of its role held by residence hall student staff and government officers, and the hall type and population; (2) the perception of hall student government held by student staff varies according to their age, time in position and gender; and (3) the perception of hall student government by student officers varies according to their age, time in office and gender. The survey population included 48 residence hall directors, 209 student staff and 281 student officers from northwestern land grant universities. Hall directors were surveyed to determine perceived effectiveness of their hall's student government, and the resident population. Student staff and officer perceptions of the role of hall student government were obtained by utilizing the government section of the Residence Hall Attitude Scale (Murphy 1971). Age, gender, time in position or office and type of hall were also provided by the students. Multiple regression analysis was used to test three hypotheses at a .05 level of significance. Of the hypothesized relationships, only gender was found to be significantly related to the variance in perceptions of role of hall student government. In the case of both student staff and officers, women were more favorable toward residence hail student government than men. The combined independent variables of age, gender and time in position or office were found, however, to account for only small percentages (4.4%, staff; 7.8%, officers) of the total variance. The regression equation for effectiveness of hall student government failed to account for significant variance due to any of the independent variables of student staff and officer perceptions, type or population of hall. All variables combined accounted for only 7.7% of the variance in perception. The results of this research suggest that hypothesized relationships between various demographic factors and perceptions, and effectiveness of residence hall student government do not exist. This indicates that some other variables must be used to attempt prediction of either effectiveness or role perceptions of hall student government. / Graduation date: 1990
