Description
Previous studies about well-being have examined either gratitude’s or social connectedness’ relationship to subjective well-being. The aim of this randomized control trial was to examine the efficacy of a gratitude-based writing micro-intervention in enhancing felt social connectedness and well-being between young adults and their parents. The trial tested the impact of engaging in gratitude-based writing about family members or enhanced caretakers on measures of social connectedness and well-being between grown children and their parents. Data from a pool of social work students in the Southwest (N=148) were used. Results revealed within-subject effects and between subject effects for psychological well-being from pretest to one month follow-up, with the intervention group reporting significantly higher psychological well-being than the control group. Results also revealed slight mean differences from pretest to posttest for perceptions of family relationships, with the intervention group reporting approaching significant better perceptions of family relationships than the control group at posttest. Findings from the study indicate that engaging in gratitude-based writing about family can improve perceptions of psychological well-being and may improve social connectedness to family.

Description
LGBTQI people are often victimized by law enforcement and these victimizations often are related to victimizations of domestic violence and hate violence. Because reporting a victimization to the police leads to contact with police, a part of the research question involved herein looked at whether or not reporting a victimization to the police also increases the rate of police violence. Through secondary data analysis, this study investigated the correlation between reporting domestic violence and hate violence to the police, and subsequent victimizations by the police in the form of police violence. Additionally through secondary data analysis, this study investigated whether or not this correlation is stronger with transgender women and people of color. All data analyzed in this study was collected in Tucson, Arizona through the Wingspan Anti-Violence Project (WAVP). All data was analyzed with the permission of the data owner, the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) (see Appendix IV), and with IRB approval from the Arizona State University Office of Research Integrity and Assurance (see Appendix III). The findings demonstrated a positive correlation between the rate of LGBTQI people reporting violent crimes to the police and the rate of police violence against LGBTQI survivors of domestic violence and hate violence. The results further demonstrated the rate of police violence associated with reporting domestic violence or hate violence is greatest for transgender women and people of color.

Description
Initially, this thesis was about analyzing the available resources to domestic violence victims to see what was most useful (Financial assistance, vocational skills, housing, etc.), but I soon found out that domestic violence shelters do not track what resources are most successful with survivors. To find out why this may be, I conducted a general climate study of domestic violence in the Phoenix area to learn more about the environment at the shelters themselves and how they approach survivor care.

Description
Psychological and sociological studies have indicated that same-sex relationships form at faster rates than their different-sex counterparts. Studies on the temporal progression of same-sex relationships suggest that same-sex relationships advance through relationship stage models at faster rates than different-sex relationships. Given this, the purpose of this study is to explore the temporal progression of same-sex and different-sex intimate partner violence (IPV) and discover if the faster development of same-sex relationships is exhibited within same-sex IPV. The study was led by the following questions: Do same-sex relationships experience IPV earlier than different-sex relationships? Do same-sex relationships progress through the cycle of violence at faster rates than different-sex relationships? The present study surveyed 35 individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) in at least one romantic relationship. Participants included 20 heterosexuals, 8 lesbians, and 7 gay males. The present findings indicate that same-sex relationships experience IPV earlier in their relationship than different-sex relationships. Accordingly, results suggest that IPV is presented earlier within lesbian relationships than any other romantic relationship; gay relationships and different-sex relationships follow after. Data analysis also affirms that same-sex relationships transition faster into Lenore Walker’s tension building phase and acute explosion phase than different-sex relationships. Overall, revealing that the rapid progression of same-sex relationships can be witnessed within violent outcomes as well.

Description
Domestic violence is a term one has heard of numerous times. It is not a newfound concept and continues to affect not only victims and those in the household but those outside of the home it occurs in as well. Much research has been carried out on witnesses of domestic violence in the home. The first section of this thesis will discuss the impact of domestic violence directly on victims of the abuse. This may assist in understanding the impact on witnesses of the abuse. The second section of this thesis will conduct a literature review on these witnesses who are often children and teenagers. It will discuss the effects of domestic violence on these children; whether it be mentally, physically, emotionally, or in any other form. While much research has been conducted on children and teenagers, there has not been much research conducted on young adult witnesses of domestic violence. Many young adults share their home with their parents in current times and some will have most likely witnessed some form of domestic violence in their home. The third section of this thesis will offer a proposal to understand the effects of domestic violence on these particular witnesses to answer whether the effects are similar to the younger aged witnesses. A questionnaire is attached to ask questions that may be used to initiate research and collect data.
