Selling Jesus to Modern America: Campus Crusade for Christ, Evangelical Culture, and Conservative Politics John Geoffrey Turner (17669196) higher education Bill Bright student movements evangelicalism fundamentalism conservative political movements This study uses the history of Campus Crusade for Christ to explore the trajectory of post-1945 American evangelicalism. Campus Crusade, founded by Bill Bright (1921-2003) and Vonette Bright (1925-) at the University of California Los Angeles in 1951, grew by century's end into a global evangelical empire with ministries far beyond the university campus. Much like the older transdenominational fundamentalism networks, a loose coalition of missionary agencies, seminaries and colleges, and megachurches provides the structural framework of the modern evangelical movement. Campus Crusade exemplifies the contribution of these parachurch organizations to evangelical vitality, the ability of evangelicals to adapt quickly to changes in popular culture, and the theological pragmatism and fundraising prowess central to modern evangelicalism. As evangelicals grew better educated and more affluent, evangelicalism moved closer to mainstream American culture. Evangelical organizations, including Campus Crusade, carved out a niche for evangelicalism at otherwise secularizing universities and colleges. Although evangelical ideas rarely penetrated the university classroom, evangelicals effectively marketed their message in Greek houses, locker rooms, and dormitories. Also, evangelicals occupied an increasingly prominent place on the American political landscape. The world of postwar anticommunism drew many evangelicals, particularly in the Southwest and California, into conservative political circles. Moreover, as parachurch organizations, suburban megachurches, and televangelist empires grew into large enterprises, conservative politicians like Richard Nixon and John Conlan cultivated relationships with Bill Bright and other rising evangelical leaders. On issues of gender, by contrast, evangelicals created distance between themselves and mainstream culture. In the 1950s and 1960s, Campus Crusade's emphasis on male leadership and female domesticity reflected broader cultural trends. By the 1970s, mainstream culture began moving towards an egalitarian conception of gender, but conservative evangelicals retained and even sharpened their traditional teachings. Such rhetoric legitimated continued gender inequality within evangelical organizations, but by the end of the century evangelicals partially accommodated themselves to mainstream gender norms. Through their willingness to retain only a small number of theological essentials and continually adapt themselves to cultural change, evangelicals kept their gospel an attractive product in the marketplace of modern American religion. 2005-09-12T00:00:00Z Text Thesis 10.7274/zw12z319b0d https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Selling_Jesus_to_Modern_America_Campus_Crusade_for_Christ_Evangelical_Culture_and_Conservative_Politics/24862626 All Rights Reserved Restricted Access

Effects of Fe on the Absorbance, Fluorescence, and Molecular Weight of Natural Organic Matter Charles Raymond Anthony (17669193) iron fluorescence size-exclusion chromatography absorbance natural organic matter Natural organic matter (NOM) is ubiquitous in aquatic environments. It plays an important role in many biogeochemical processes, including metal binding. This study investigated the effects of Fe binding by NOM on the molecular weight, fluorescence, and absorbance of NOM. Various forms of Fe were added to XAD-8 NOM isolate. It was found that addition of Fe caused an increase in visible absorbance, a decrease in fluorescence, and a shift from intermediate molecular weight components to higher molecular weight components. Changes occurred within the first 2 hours, and Fe(III) affected NOM more than Fe(II). Reaction of the XAD-8 isolate with the siderophore desferrioxamine-B (DFO-B), caused an increase in one of the fluorescence peaks, due to Fe removal and a decrease in a second peak, perhaps due to Al removal. Comparison of XAD-8 and XAD-4 isolates showed similar changes in absorbance and fluorescence, but the XAD-4 showed little change in molecular weight distribution. These results have important implications for the concept of 'molecular weight' as applied to NOM, and for NOM reactivity including bioavailability, adsorption to minerals, and other processes. 2005-07-19T00:00:00Z Text Thesis 10.7274/zw12z31998v https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Effects_of_Fe_on_the_Absorbance_Fluorescence_and_Molecular_Weight_of_Natural_Organic_Matter/24862620 All Rights Reserved Restricted Access

An Item Response Theory Approach to the Examination of the Construct of Self-efficacy for Coping for African American and White Persons with Cancer Carolyn Anna Heitzmann (17669190) Coping Item Response Theory Cancer Self-efficacy African Americans Research is limited on the analysis of constructs such as coping, quality of life, and adjustment for African Americans. In psychosocial-oncology, adequate measures of these constructs are essential in order to establish comprehensive models of health and disparities. In this project, an Item Response Theory (IRT) approach to examining Differential Item Functioning (DIF) was conducted on the Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI), a 33-item measure of self-efficacy for coping with cancer. DIF was tested across groups of African Americans (N = 245) and Whites (N = 407) with cancer. DIF was flagged for three items; however, these differences have low influence on the measure at the scale level. This project provides a modern methodological approach to validating health related constructs and allows for the interpretation of differences between the two groups as, not an artifact of DIF, but true difference. 2010-07-14T00:00:00Z Text Thesis 10.7274/zw12z31997h https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/An_Item_Response_Theory_Approach_to_the_Examination_of_the_Construct_of_Self-efficacy_for_Coping_for_African_American_and_White_Persons_with_Cancer/24862617 All Rights Reserved

Parental Depressive Symptoms and Children's Emotional Security Peggy Sue Keller (17668377) Child Development Depression Emotional Security Family Children derive a sense of security from multiple dimensions of family functioning, including parent-child and marital relations. Their sense of security is based on their confidence in parents' abilities to meet children's needs and provide a stable environment, and is undermined by poor parenting skills and marital conflict. Because parental depressive symptoms are associated with parenting and marital problems, this study hypothesized that parental depressive symptoms would predict children's emotional insecurity about parent-child relations (attachment insecurity) and insecurity about marital relations, leading to greater emotional and behavioral problems. Data were drawn from three waves of a larger community study of families, and included mother and father report of depressive symptoms, parenting practices, marital conflict, children's emotional security, and children's emotional and behavioral problems. Results of structural equation models indicated that mothers' and fathers' depressive symptoms predicted decreased parental warmth and greater marital conflict one year later. Furthermore, children's attachment insecurity served as a mediator of relations between fathers' depressive symptoms and children's adjustment problems, while children's insecurity about marital relations served as a mediator of relations between mothers' and fathers' depressive symptoms and children's adjustment problems. When considered together, a similar pattern of results was obtained. These results indicate that (1) children's emotional security about multiple family relationships may serve as important explanatory processes for the link between parental depressive symptoms and children's maladjustment; (2) the marital relationship was somewhat more sensitive to parental depressive symptoms, undermining children's sense of security about the marital relationship; and (3) fathers' depressive symptoms were more disruptive to children's emotional security than mothers' symptoms. 2006-04-20T00:00:00Z Text Thesis 10.7274/zw12z31994g https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Parental_Depressive_Symptoms_and_Children_s_Emotional_Security/24862614 All Rights Reserved Restricted Access

Implementation Strategies for Adventures in Parenting Shannon Shamiel Carothers (17669187) prevention program parent training principles of parenting Adventures in Parenting, an informational booklet published by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, is designed to educate parents about basic principles of parenting. The booklet offers five principles that parents can use to develop a model of parenting: Responding, Preventing, Monitoring, Mentoring, and Modeling (RPM3). The current study was designed to assess the differential impact of three intervention conditions, utilizing Adventures in Parenting, on knowledge of RPM3 principles, parenting behaviors, and children's behavior. Significant intervention effects were found for measures of knowledge of RPM3 principles; number of sessions attended explained a significant proportion of unique variance in RPM3 Total and Open-ended scores. The more intensive interventions increased and/or maintained knowledge of RPM3 principles over 3 months, whereas the control condition demonstrated a decrease in knowledge from pretest to posttest. Pretest father involvement and maternal adjustment were consistent predictors of posttest measures of knowledge of intervention principles and maternal parenting behavior. Results are discussed in terms of their contribution to parent training, particularly the use of web-based training sessions. 2006-04-17T00:00:00Z Text Thesis 10.7274/zw12z31992s https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Implementation_Strategies_for_Adventures_in_Parenting/24862611 All Rights Reserved Restricted Access
