A Mixed-Methods Investigation of Behavioural Activation Theory in Acquired Brain Injury
… lesser demands on cognition, such as Behavioural Activation (BA) therapy, offer promise. BA theory posits that depression reduces energy levels and expectations of positive outcomes from activities, and increases avoidance, which exacerbates depression. This dissertation provides a test of BA …

How does Environmental Course Content Contribute to Students’ Choices for Plant-based Bioplastic Produce Bags?
… This research utilized Rational Choice Theory (RCT) and Norm Activation Theory (NAT) to uncover motivations. Most students indicated high moral responsibility and environmental awareness, which aligns with NAT. RCT showed that the students were willing to pay a small premium as a …

Consumer behaviour towards voluntary carbon credits
… voluntary carbon credits by integrating Norm Activation Theory (NAT), Social Innovation Theory (SIT), and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). This research employs a quantitative approach, using data from 431 respondents, analysed with structural equation modelling (SEM), to identify key …

Thermal activation of superconducting Josephson junctions
… was to investigate the effects of thermal activation on the superconducting properties of Josephson junctions. Specifically, thermal noise tends to result in a range of switching currents, values less than the critical current at which a junction switches from the superconducting to the …

Visual thinking networking promotes long-term meaningful learning and achievement for 9th grade earth science students
… (p = .01). A neurocognitive model, the encoding activation theory of the anterior cingulate (ENACT-AC), is proposed as an explanation for these findings.

Cloud condensation nucleus activity comparison of dry- and wet-generated mineral dust aerosol : the significance of soluble material
… cloud condensation nuclei counter, the critical activation of the clay mineral particles as cloud condensation nuclei is characterized. Electron microscopy (EM) is used to determine non-sphericity in particle shape. EM is also used to determine particle surface area and account for transmission …

Social media engagement among early adolescents: Motivational and adjustment correlates
… terms of time and frequency. Based on hormonal activation theory (Forbes & Dahl, 2010), I focused on pubertal and social goal correlates of individual differences in social media engagement among adolescents. I also examined positive (prosocial support) and negative (peer victimization, …

Personality and the political system: An exploration of the psychological roots of political support
… to citizen behavior. The first half of my theory applies a model from occupational psychology to understand how personality interacts with the environment to influence political support outcomes. This model, known as trait activation theory, expects personality effects to occur only when …

Predicting thermodynamic and transport parameters for metal contaminant sorption to hydrated metal oxides in aquatic systems
… to few years to reach equilibrium. Based on site activation theory, surface diffusivities can be estimated knowing the activation energy and site capacity. From Polanyi relation, E_A is linearly proportional to [Delta]H , and is comparable for adsorption of a specific metal to HAO, BFO, and HMO. …

A Social Cognitive Approach Towards Understanding The Effects Of Popular Poker Television Shows On College Students
… and social systems. Using Social Cognitive Theory as a framework of influence, exposure to these shows – ranging from the individual student to the overall college environment – was assessed and evaluated. Results indicated that student gambling is strongly correlated to viewership of poker …
