Item Aging Is Becoming(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 1990) Moore, Bemice MilbumItem Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder: The Impact Of Organizational Identification Identity And Image On The Cooperative Behaviors Of Physicians(2002-09) Dukerich, J. M.; Golden, B. R.; Shortell, S. M.; Dukerich, Janet M.We use an established model of organizational identification to try to understand the voluntary cooperative behavior of professionals in organizations. We examined the relationships among physicians assessments of the attractiveness of a health care system's perceived identity and construed external image, strength of system identification, and cooperative behaviors. We surveyed 1,504 physicians affiliated with three health care systems and collected follow-up data from 285 physicians a year later. Attractiveness of perceived identity and construed external image were positively related to physicians' identification with the system, which in turn was positively related to cooperative behavior. Extensions to the model of organizational identification are suggested.Item A Conversation with Patricia H. Berne and Louis M. Savary: Caring: Building Children's Self-esteem(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 1985) Hogg Foundation for Mental HealthItem Sharing, Liking, Commenting, and Distressed? The Pathway Between Facebook Interaction and Psychological Distress(2013-10) Chen, Wenhong; Lee, Kye-Hyoung; Chen, Wenhong; Lee, Kye-HyoungStudies on the mental health implications of social media have generated mixed results. Drawing on a survey of college students (N=513), this research uses structural equation modeling to assess the relationship between Facebook interaction and psychological distress and two underlying mechanisms: communication overload and self-esteem. It is the first study, to our knowledge, that examines how communication overload mediates the mental health implications of social media. Frequent Facebook interaction is associated with greater distress directly and indirectly via a two-step pathway that increases communication overload and reduces self-esteem. The research sheds light on new directions for understanding psychological well-being in an increasingly mediated social world as users share, like, and comment more and more.Item The Theory Behind Camp Kesem: An In-Depth Look at How Summer Camp Programming Has Lasting Impacts on Children Affected by a Parent's Cancer(2020-05) Iverson, JulianaCamp Kesem is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping children through and beyond a parent's cancer. Children who have a parent with cancer face a multitude of difficulties and risks for adverse mental health affects. Four mediators were identified through previous research that are likely to help reduce the risks children with a parent with cancer face. Increases in self-esteem, coping skills, social support, and sense of community have all been linked to an increased likelihood of improving the mental health of individuals in stressful circumstances. There are established and researched intervention programs that are likely to increase these four mediators. The similarities of these researched intervention programs and Camp Kesem camp programming are explored to describe why Camp Kesem theoretically should increase these mediators in the children it serves. A survey for the counselors of Camp Kesem UT Austin was created to quanitatively and qualitatively assess if Camp Kesem does increase the four mediators of interest. Due to study limitations caused by COVID-19, the only mediator that could be unequivically show as probable as increasing was sense of community. Future research should be conducted in regard to the other three mediators and in the populations of the parents and campers that Camp Kesem serves.Item Therapeutic horsemanship and children adopted from foster care : a case study analysis using mixed methods(2007-08) Cody, Patricia Anne; Franklin, CynthiaThe purpose of this study was to explore the potential benefits of a therapeutic horsemanship program for children adopted from foster care and their adoptive mothers. Standardized measures, open-ended interviews and surveys were administered to determine effects on external child behavior, child self-esteem and parenting stress. The Child Behavior Checklist was administered to measure behavioral challenges in the children in this sample. There were no statistically significant changes on any of the CBCL scales. Qualitative data from the mothers, Instructors and researcher observations show some affect on behavior. The Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventory-3 was administered to measure self-esteem of the nine children in the sample. The decrease on the Global Self-Esteem Quotient of the CFSEI-3 was statistically significant using. Of the nine children, only three of them scored in the clinical range at pre-test. Of these three, two moved into the normal range and the third improved her score to be very close to the normal range. Qualitative data from the mothers, Instructors and researcher observations support this finding. The Total Stress score of the Parenting Stress Index -- Short Form for the mothers in the sample did not show a statistically significant decrease. Six of the nine mothers' pre-test and post-test scores were in the clinical range and only three had decreased post-test scores. The Qualitative data obtained through interviews, surveys and observations did not support a direct impact of the program on stress levels but rather an impact on level of support. Many mothers reported that they liked spending time with the other mothers to share resources and discuss their children. The data collected in this study does not provide sufficient evidence to make any causal statements about therapeutic horsemanship programs and children adopted from foster care. It does, however, provide support for the need for future research. The findings from this study have implications for meeting the needs of a variety of children adopted from foster and their adoptive parents.
