Abstract
The following paper discusses the attitudes and strategies that should be used to get the best results from employees, what it takes to keep employees motivated, the attitude of the boss and different attitudes of employees and how it affects their job. All of the latter are discussed with reference to research studies of selected companies and their organizational patterns of behaviour.
From the paper:
"It is well known by Human Resources Personnel and Managers that positive employee attitudes create positive actions toward organizational goals. Employee attitude is increasingly cited in surveys as the number one performance-related issue of companies, both large and small. As attitudes deteriorate, so do commitment, loyalty and, most importantly, performance. In this research paper we are particularly looking at physical labor jobs such as landscaping, construction, farm workers and other environments which do not take place in an office settings."

From the Paper
"It seems that men and women have little in common (Rosenberg, 2003). They do not think the same, they enjoy different types of movies, they do not even have the same amount of ribs. However, when it comes to job satisfaction, it is unclear as to whether or not men and women share similar attitudes. While many people say that women getting paid less that men is blatant sexism, the real reasons for the discrepancy are much more complex, some argue (Bort, 2003). According to Bort (2003), survey respondents say these issues are at heart."

Abstract
This paper reviews an extensive amount of literature regarding the achievement of culturally diverse students and the impact on this achievement of the attitudes of teachers toward these students, or specifically, the expectations that teachers hold in relation to the achievement potential of these students. The paper further looks at how failure to properly educate and prepare teachers for the multicultural education classroom leaves too many unanswered questions in the instructional provision relating to attitudes based on myth or falsehoods, misconceptions or misrepresentations. Additionally, the paper contends that it is critical that teachers be effectively educated with regard to their attitude prior to their entry into the multicultural classroom.

From the Paper
"The research conducted by Padilla and Lindholm has purported three: "major identifiable assumptions" relating to the education of ethnic minorities identified as follows: (1) The white middle-class American is the standard used for comparison of other groups to (typically this is the male); (2) Instruments used for assessment of differences are universally applicable "across groups, with perhaps only minimal adjustments for culturally diverse populations; and (3) Although a need exists for recognition of the sources of potential variance such as social class, educational attainment, gender, cultural orientation, and proficiency in English, these are nuisances that can later be discarded (1995, p. 97)."

Measuring Social Attitudes, 2002.
This paper discusses the use of summated ratings or Likert scales to measure social and psychological attitudes.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that summated ratings or Likert scales are one methodology used by academics, students, politicians and marketing researchers to determine the attitude of individuals towards a particular issue. The author relates that the use of summated ratings is a survey method that presents a set of attitude statements which the subject must express agreement or disagreement on a continuous scale of five to nine points. The author believes that summated ratings can be used to measure emotional attitudes regarding issues particular to criminal justice, such as punishment and enforcement of crime.
From the Paper
"The relevance of the quantification of attitude may be found in the idea that the psychological ?stimulus? designed to provoke an attitude does not necessarily have to be physical. This is reflected in the work of the psychologist Thurstone, who is considered the father of attitude measurement. He addressed the issue of how favorable an individual is with regard to a given issue in his own work. He developed an attitude continuum to determine the position of measuring favorable and unfavorable attitudes on issues. This was refined in 1932, by his prot?g? Likert, the most famous father of the attitudinal scale."

Abstract
This research paper is a chapter of a PhD dissertation. This chapter discusses in-depth literature on the attitudes and values of high school students. Reforms to the high school system in the United States are also explained. Additionally, the reason why students need not be involved in the planning of reforms is elucidated.
Introduction
Attitudes and Values: Who are High School Students?
Reforms
References
From the Paper
"Of a crucial age, climbing a milestone, conscious to their fullest with no fear of prospects, high school students have interested researchers and policy makers for centuries. They have quite a few common traits?they behave as individuals of their own age group in a rather full-fledged way. They are go-getting to achieve their independence, they are show-offs, impressionable persons desiring to be their best (something to be learned) and to suit the times they live in. Their self-esteem is fragile and they are pretty sensitive to criticism, attention, and dilemmas, for instance, within their families."

Abstract
This paper examines the role of priming on several social psychology behaviors including attitudes, judgements and conformity. The paper provides a description of priming and of each of the social behaviors discussed in the paper. The paper then focuses on describing past research that shows the ways in which priming affects these behaviors.

Priming Social Conformity
From the Paper
"Schemas are cognitive representations of nonsocial and social objects that are stored in memory in associative networks. Activation of a schema increases its accessibility in the present and in the future. One way to activate a schema is through priming. Priming is any experience or mental activity that occurs prior to an event or situation and which increases the likelihood that relevant schema will be made more accessible. Such experiences or activities are referred to as primes and primes vary in the level of activation or accessibility they create. The minimum prime required to activate a schema is called the response threshold (Moskowitz, 2005). This can then affect a perception, judgment, and/or behavior by associative processes in memory. In this paper I will examine priming effects on judgments and social conformity by describing several relevant studies and their results."

Abstract
This paper outlines the steps involved in constructing a Likert (1932) scale to evaluate university students' attitude towards vivisection and addresses issues both within the scale itself and in the broader context of all measurements of attitude. Ultimately, it questions the usefulness of attitude scales in light of their unavoidable limitations given the complexity of the hypothetical construct they seek to evaluate.
From the Paper
"Reliability interacts with validity and where reliability is high ("equal to or more than .80" - Oppenheim, B, 1988), as with the Likert scale, validity will tend to be also, but its fundamental shortcoming, which it shares with other attitude scales, is that construct validity of the attitude concept itself is questionable. No external factual criterion exists against which declared attitudes may be defined and calibrated: for example, group membership or voting habits - seemingly objective measures - may be mediated by situational or pragmatic factors (Oppenheim, 1966). Declared attitude, as measured by self-report rating scales, may not wholly - or at all - correspond to the attitude held and thus it follows that predictive validity also tends to be poor."

Abstract
This paper argues that there is a right and wrong attitude toward health and illness and the use of a specific set of ideals has important clinical implications. The paper shows how continual changes in attitudes towards health and illness in our society affects the working practice and results of nurses in the health system.
From the Paper
"A study at the University College Hospital in Nigeria sought to find the prevailing attitude of nurses towards caring for AIDS patients. Of 200 male and female nurses interviewed, 52.4 per cent said their reaction was one of anxiety; 26.4 per cent of fear; 6.7 percent skepticism. Only 7 per cent managed to stay neutral and 6.7 per cent remained calm. The nurses who confessed to a less desirable attitude believed that AIDS sufferers were responsible for their illness themselves and thus deserve their dire health condition. Many confessed to having increased anxiety levels and even experiencing nightmares."

Abstract
The following paper examines the link between gender stereotypes and the difference in attitudes towards television is demonstrated. The history of the television violence issue is presented.
From the paper:
?Another aspect to the problem of determining if gender differences exist in reference to aggression and television violence is to examine if the shows and advertising themselves portray gender stereotypes. Calvert and Huston attempted to answer this question in a 1987 study. They concluded that men are often portrayed as being more powerful and competent than women and are shown in more typically male occupations.?

African American Mothers? Attitudes on Parenting, 2001.
A look into attitudes about parenting and how they affect child upbringing with special reference to African mothers.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This research paper defines the aspects of a child?s upbringing and environment towards understanding behavior, and attempts to determine means and types of intervention that would favorably impact that upbringing and environment to promote behavior leading to enculturation, and successful interaction with peers and adults. The paper examines factors contributing to those attitudes and their resulting effects on children and gives a special focus on African American mothers.
From the Paper
"Traditionally, research on the behavior of children as a result of the parenting skills and attitudes of their parents has focused on optimal behavior as an outcome of environmental, attitudinal and societal factors. Points of view regarding the influential strength of these factors have varied as society and the orientation of the researchers have changed. Researchers adopting a more sociologically-centered view suggest that parenting itself is a function of socioeconomic and sociohistorical factors and that parameters for context must be figured into any assessment of the impact of parenting on subsequent child behavior."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the research into the causes and effects of alcohol use and abuse continue, the fact remains that there are some important differences in how the practice is viewed by men and women that can provide some valuable insights into developing effective interventions. The author presents an extensive literature review and a complete qualitative survey designed by the author to understand gender differences in attitudes toward alcohol use. The paper reports that this survey of 30 U.K. university students showed that the male respondents were slightly more likely to engage in patterns of heavy drinking than their female counterparts; however, the responses were relatively equal concerning a particular setting where alcohol had been used in the past. Complete question by question data analysis. Many tables and graphs.

"Another large study conducted in 1997 (Thun et al.) determined that the death rate from breast cancer was 30 percent higher among middle-aged and elderly women who reported only having one drink daily than among nondrinkers; however, breast cancer in women is not the only health risk associated with alcohol consumption that seems to be hormone related (Hanna et al., 2002). As noted above, women tend to advance to cirrhosis of the liver at more rapid rates than do men when consuming smaller quantities of alcohol. In this regard, Tivis and Galaver (1994) hypothesized that alcohol-hormone interaction may influence the development of alcohol-induced liver disease in postmenopausal women who are moderate to heavy drinkers."

Abstract
This paper discusses teacher attitudes toward mainstreaming special needs children into the general education classroom. It discusses the need to create collaborative and supportive systems where teachers do not feel isolated and unsupported in the classroom so that they can effectively overcome barriers to learning that may exist, as well as overcome the largest barrier - the resistance to change. The paper also looks at the strengths and weaknesses of the system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Learning in the workplace has increased in both efficacy and application with regard to the teaching classroom. This is in part in response to mandates that forced the system to reevaluate the preparedness of teachers in the filed, with regard to mainstreaming students. Different schools and districts of course vary in effectiveness, both by self and outside evaluation in both instructing special needs children and in supporting teachers to do so. Creating collaborative and supported system where teachers do not feel isolated an unsupported in the classroom is essential to overcoming barriers to learning that may exist as well as to overcome the largest barrier the resistance to change. The strengths and weaknesses of the system as it stands are therefore variable to place and time but the classroom itself, if supported is one of the best learning environments for teachers that exists as the experience of teaching cannot be explained in theory as well as it can be lived in the classroom."

Abstract
This paper discusses how this phenomenon has been around for centuries; however, only recently is public opinion warming to the idea. It looks at these changing attitudes by the government, the law makers, religious institutions, and society as a whole.
From the Paper
'However, many state and national agencies still have old-fashioned attitudes toward same-sex marriages. For example, the New Jersey Family Policy Council believes that the institution of marriage would be jeopardized if homosexuals were encouraged to wed. "States do have the right to set limits on who is allowed to marry," said Len Deo, the president of the council. The council ignores the fact that changing times always have brought changing attitudes about marriage."

Abstract
The theater business in Windsor, Canada is in the midst of significant changes. With the increased competition in the city, theaters have to do much more than assume what customers want, they must thoroughly investigate the exact desires of customers. The paper shows that by using this research effectively, the theaters can better position themselves for a leap into the new millennium. The research problem identified in this study is to determine respondents? attitudes toward the competing movie theaters in Windsor. The responses are categorized for evaluation by gender, age, marital status, income, education and occupation. This breakdown is crucial to analysis, as it allows results to infer characteristics of different market characteristics.
From the Paper
"The comfort level of seating at the Parkway theatre revealed a significant difference among income groups. The lowest value was calculated for those earning less than $20, 000 per year. 10.3% of those respondents' would likely find the seating at the Parkway uncomfortable. Significantly higher are the respondents' earning over $20, 000 per year. Of those earning from $20, 000 to $49, 999, 40.9% would likely find the seating uncomfortable and 41.7% of those earning $50, 000 and over would likely agree that the seating at the Parkway is uncomfortable. Results of this analysis are found in Appendix 16.
In assessing the length of ticket lines by annual income, the significant difference exists respective to Silver City. 20.8% of those earning over $50, 000 annually find the ticket lines long at the Silver City theatre. 24% of those earning under $20, 000 find the ticket lines long at Silver City. Significantly greater were those in the $20, 000 - $49, 999 category, with 45.5% of respondents finding the ticket lines long. The reliable results of this analysis are found in Appendix 16."
