Title: ZERO TOLERANCE: THE RHETORIC IS THE REALITY.
Author: Glenn, April Denise, Pilcher, Janet, Rotunda, Robert, Nichols, Joyce, University of West Florida
Abstract/Description: In this study, the researcher explores the effects of zero tolerance policy expulsions with emphasis on first time offender students and their families. Using archival data, the researcher compares grade point average (GPA), pre/post math, reading, self-concept, and behavior assessments of 40 zero tolerance offenders and 40 students with chronic behavior problems participating in a voluntary drug and alcohol prevention program at an alternative middle school.

Show moreIn this study, the researcher explores the effects of zero tolerance policy expulsions with emphasis on first time offender students and their families. Using archival data, the researcher compares grade point average (GPA), pre/post math, reading, self-concept, and behavior assessments of 40 zero tolerance offenders and 40 students with chronic behavior problems participating in a voluntary drug and alcohol prevention program at an alternative middle school. Additional data are generated from clinical progress notes, parent and student blogs and e-mail correspondence with an adult expelled as a youth because of zero tolerance. There are no statistically significant differences in overall self-concept or number of behavioral issues between these two groups of students. Zero tolerance students demonstrate higher scores on math and reading assessments and higher GPA at first semester. Both groups have limited behavioral issues which are mild in severity and moderate levels of self-concept at pre and posttest. Parent and student reactions to zero tolerance expulsions suggest effects on school bonding, peer relationships, emotional stability, educational opportunities, and have some parallels to the grief process. The researcher provides suggestions for policy reform, further research and preventative strategies.

Title: YOU KNOW THE PLACE: IDENTIFYING A SPECIAL-USE SITE IN A REGION OF ENDURING BIOTIC RICHNESS.
Author: Walls, Lauren Anne, Gougeon, Ramie A., Parker, Catherine, Worth, John E., University of West Florida
Abstract/Description: A common feature of many archaeological sites along the Gulf Coast is the shell midden sans evidence of associated domestic structures or primary activity areas. Deposits like these are present at the Thompson's Landing (8ES950) site on the University of West Florida campus. This paper explores the potential for inferences to be made about past human behaviors based on prehistoric refuse structure and content. Group size, occupation span, and the variety of resources exploited are examined...

Title: YOGA, MOTIVATION, AND THE STAGES OF CHANGE.
Author: Scott, Sheramy Rebecca, Rotunda, Robert, Mikulas, William, Harding, John, University of West Florida
Abstract/Description: There are many studies applying theories of motivation and behavior change to exercise in general, however, there are few studies applying these theories specifically to yoga despite the growing research that demonstrates its physical and mental health benefits. This study examined Self Determination Theory and the Transtheoretical Model of Change and how these approaches apply to yoga as a form of exercise.

Show moreThere are many studies applying theories of motivation and behavior change to exercise in general, however, there are few studies applying these theories specifically to yoga despite the growing research that demonstrates its physical and mental health benefits. This study examined Self Determination Theory and the Transtheoretical Model of Change and how these approaches apply to yoga as a form of exercise. Yoga practitioners completed a self-report survey in order to assess their reasons for beginning and continuing their practice, their degree of motivation, and their stage of change according to the Transtheoretical Model. Findings suggest that, for the majority of practitioners, reasons for beginning yoga differ from their reasons for continuing yoga. Findings also show that integrated regulation and the transformed stage of change play a significant role in the practice of yoga. Results also indicate that an individual's ability to experience flow states in yoga is related to but not dependent on intrinsic motivation alone.

Title: WORLD WAR II MERCHANT MARINE BATTLEFIELDS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO: ANALYSIS OF THE SS R.W. GALLAGHER AND SS CITIES SERVICE TOLEDO USING 3D MODELING, PHYSICS, AND BATTLEFIELD ARCHAEOLOGY.
Author: Swanson, Eric Alexander, Cook, Gregory, Horrell, Christopher, Zumbro, Derek, Bratten, John, University of West Florida
Abstract/Description: S's. R.W. Gallagher and S's. Cities Service Toledo were sunk by German U-boats in the Gulf of Mexico in 1942. They were investigated for their historical significance under a project led by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)/Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) archaeologists in 2010.

Show moreS's. R.W. Gallagher and S's. Cities Service Toledo were sunk by German U-boats in the Gulf of Mexico in 1942. They were investigated for their historical significance under a project led by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)/Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) archaeologists in 2010. These two shipwreck sites provide an opportunity to analyze maritime casualties within the broader theoretical framework of battlefield archaeology. Furthermore, they provide examples of site formation processes that help explain why ships end up inverted on the sea floor during sinking events. Through the dynamic research associated with identifying these ships, their history, and their context, 3D modeling is utilized in an attempt to exhibit the current state of remote-sensing and 3D modeling software. These capabilities allow archaeologists to take a static archaeological site and present it in a way that will reveal more to the public through the growing lens of graphical interpretation and interest in World War II archaeology. This thesis builds upon a foundation of current technology and theoretical principals for future research to broaden knowledge and practice of marine archaeology in the Gulf of Mexico, and beyond.

Title: WORK-LIFE BALANCE PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL: A CONSTRUCT VALIDATION STUDY.

Show moreWork-family balance is an increasingly important topic in light of rising employee expectations. The current study combined work-family and positive psychology research to uncover the nomological network of Work-Life Balance Psychological Capital (WLB PsyCap), a positive psychological resource that includes self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience to increases one's ability to balance multiple life roles. One hundred sixty-three working students participated in the online survey. Additionally, I gathered performance data from two sources, the participant (self-report) and university (grade point average). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a four-factor structure of WLB PsyCap (i.e., hope, optimism, resilience, and selfefficacy). WLB PsyCap was positively related to work-family-school balance, work-family and family-work enrichment, positive affect, life satisfaction, happiness, and core self-evaluation. WLB PsyCap was negatively related to work-family and family-work conflict and stress. Overall, WLB PsyCap was significantly related to expected performance review rating, but unrelated to grade point average. Limitations include the student sample, correlational research design, and data analysis. Directions for future research include addressing the validity of WLB PsyCap and its incremental validity beyond traditional work-family constructs. In an applied setting, WLB PsyCap training is a practical solution to promote a positive work-family culture and increase employee's work-life balance.

Title: WOMEN OF THE DARK CONTINENT: NEGOTIATING IMPERIAL CONQUEST, RACIAL IMPURITY, AND MODERN FEMINISM IN CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN'S HERLAND.
Author: Lewis, Christina Joanne, Earle, David M., Blyn, Robin R., University of West Florida
Abstract/Description: Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland grapples with the interregnum between changing ideological constructs. At once, it engages in the urgent debates of Progressive Era America at the turn of the century and reflects the residual force of the Western paternalism that accompanied U.S. imperial aspirations in the nineteenth century.

Show moreCharlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland grapples with the interregnum between changing ideological constructs. At once, it engages in the urgent debates of Progressive Era America at the turn of the century and reflects the residual force of the Western paternalism that accompanied U.S. imperial aspirations in the nineteenth century. Taking place in a world removed from patriarchy, Herland mirrors the social progress of women's roles and independence; however, the novel's feminist utopia depends upon sciences of racial purity and eugenics at odds with its progressive agenda. In a consistent push and pull between social progression and digression, Herland makes headway toward feminine agency yet falls subject to the contamination of imperialistic masculinity and patriarchy both in the content of the novel as well as Gilman's own attempt to conquer and appropriate a masculine form. Gilman's appropriation creates a novel that is both liberating and dangerous for the modern woman and the success of the home and population. The juxtaposition of Gilman's progressive feminist ideas with her decidedly regressive views on eugenics in Herland illustrate how even the most progressive feminism can be bound by and defined by imperialist patriarchal tenets.

Show moreA gap in historical research was determined and a historiography was conducted to answer this research question: How did William Torrey Harris help to elevate the professionalization of teaching? Harris held multiple educational positions throughout his fortyeight year career and contributed to the professionalization of teaching within each post. As a teacher and principal, Harris functioned as an active member of multiple local and national level teachers' associations and organizations to promote education. He initiated the graded system into schools, increased opportunities for African American teachers, and wrote the memorial which helped to establish Kirksville Normal School. As Assistant Superintendent, Harris conducted numerous school visits and provided feedback to teachers. The introduction of Leigh's Phonetic System improved reading instruction and the increase of German instruction elevated both student and teacher enrollment. Harris's foundation and publication of the Journal of Speculative Philosophy (JSP) added philosophic thought into teachers' lives. During his Superintendence, Harris published key educational pieces containing specific advice for teachers. Harris's annual reports contained evidence of communication and endeavors he made to improve the education of future teachers, current educators, as well as students. Work within the Concord School of Philosophy and as editor of the International Education Series (IES) were additional platforms Harris utilized to share effective techniques and strategies with countless educators. Throughout Harris's post as the U's. Commissioner of Education, his continued effort to professionalize teaching was evident. His work with normal schools, encouragement of communication between libraries and schools, committee involvement, and additional publications were the culmination of lifelong efforts he made to improve the teaching profession.
