However, there was no significant impact of the instruction condition on the facial affect contagion variable. Even more surprising, there was no effect of instruction on any of the engagement variables.; Emotional contagion involves "catching" the emotions of others. In many instances, such contagion is beneficial, as it allows us to partake in another person's joy or gain greater understanding of another's experience. However, persistent exposure to a people who are experiencing negative emotions can take a toll on an individual, with consequences ranging from discomfort to emotional burn-out. This study examined the effect of three moderating strategies on emotional contagion.; Participants watched three video clips of individuals speaking to the camera and were instructed to treat the situation as though they were a therapist observing a client---the person on the video tape. Half of the participants watched three clips of individuals talking about the happiest day of their lives, while the other half watched three clips of individuals talking about the saddest day of their lives. When each clip was complete, the participant was asked to provide a two or three sentence verbal response to the "client." The entire process was video taped. The measures of emotional contagion involved were facial affect and self-reported emotion.; Prior to engaging in the experimental task, each of the participants was given one of four sets of instructions corresponding with one of the following cognitive strategies: (a) Empathic Imagery, (b) Dissociation, (c) Empathic Reflection, and (d) no instruction (control). The Empathic Imagery strategy was expected to increase the experience of contagion, while Voluntary Dissociation and Empathic Reflection were expected to decrease the experience of contagion. However, when the verbal content was analyzed, participants given Empathic Reflection instructions were expected to be more engaged in the interaction than those instructed to dissociate.; The results of this study fail to provide much support for the experimental hypotheses. Several possible reasons for the lack of significant results are discussed.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 76-94).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 94 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20874 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Rempala, Dan http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20873 Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Key Words. Systems of Care, Stability, Practice Elements, Distillation and Matching, Program Evaluation, Care Coordination; This study evaluated the reliability of the Service Guidance Review Form (SGRF). The SGRF was an instrument designed to quantify specific aspects of recommendations for treatment planning documents within the context of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) in Honolulu, Hawaii. Documents utilized in this study included Mental Health Assessments (MHA), Coordinated Service Plans (CSP), and Mental Health Treatment Plans (MHTPs). The SGRF is a method of distilling recommendations from each of these documents into component parts, both in terms of specific treatment practice elements and targets of treatments. Several CAMHD personnel and University graduate students were trained in the use of the measure, and used it to rate documents from a randomly selected set of 200 new cases from CAMHD Fiscal Year 2003 (July 1, 2003--June 30, 2004). Reliability of the instrument was examined by comparing raters' codes using Intraclass Correlations (ICCs; Shrout and Fleiss, 1979).; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 70-77).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 77 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20873 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Young, John http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20872 Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; In recent years, more studies are exploring how contextual factors may influence mate preferences. Based on social learning theory, power, attitudes towards egalitarian gender roles, and type of mating were expected to influence women's romantic preferences for physical attractiveness and for resources. An online questionnaire was administered to a community sample and data analyses were employed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA). Results showed that, as women's power increased, women showed increased preferences for physical attractiveness and sexiness in potential short-term mates and increased preference for intelligence in potential long-term mates. Power and attitudes were also found to be significant in predicting women's preferences for physical attractiveness relative to potential earning capacity in both short-term and long-term mating conditions.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 85-92).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 92 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20872 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Le, Yen-Chi Lam http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20871 Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Leadership research has not adequately addressed the dynamics of how relationships evolve in multicultural dyads. This research addressed this gap in the literature using the grounded theory methodology. Nineteen interviews were conducted to map perceptions of relationship development among ethnoculturally similar and dissimilar dyads with diverse backgrounds and from various organizations in Hawaii. A model of relationships in multicultural dyads emerged from these diverse voices. Relationship development in these dyads was influenced by past experience and demands for interaction, and while different opinions existed regarding personal exchange at work, participants believed managing the personal-work exchange boundary was necessary. Supporting existing theory, multicultural dyads also reported processes of relationship-building, incremental and reciprocal influence, and in-groups and out-groups. Implications of the findings for Leader-Member Exchange Theory as well as other leadership theories are discussed.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 563-573).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 573 leaves, bound in 2 v. 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20871 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Jackson, David S http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20870 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 122-130).; ix, 130 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20870 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Fo, Melody Joy S http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20869 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 35-46).; vi, 62 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20869 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Ebesutani, Chad K http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20868 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 70-84).; viii, 84 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20868 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Chao, Puihan Joyce http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20867 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 46-50).; viii, 72 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20867 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Bello, Iruma http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20866 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 44-49).; viii, 49 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20866 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Aylward, Alison Gastorf http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20865 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 58-61).; x, 61 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20865 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Tolman, Ryan http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20864 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 68-73).; ix, 73 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20864 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Paterson, Jennifer L http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20863 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 152-162).; vii, 162 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20863 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Nacapoy, Andrea He Pua Po'okela http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20862 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 93-97).; vi, 97 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20862 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Maeda, Justin A.M http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20861 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 46-50).; vii, 50 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20861 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Jeedigunta, Aparajita http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20860 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 79-81).; viii, 81 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20860 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Grant, Andrew http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20859 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 28-36).; xi, 79 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20859 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Gonzales, Coty James http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20858 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 85-111).; ix, 116 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20858 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Fukunaga, Landry L http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20857 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 121-127).; xi, 127 leaves, bound 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20857 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Tovote, Katrin http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20856 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 95-104).; v, 104 leaves, bound 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20856 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Luning, Rebecca J.I http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20855 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 48-54).; viii, 82 leaves, bound 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20855 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Durso, Laura E
