Understanding Spiritual Principles or Depending on Techniques To Realize and Sustain Optimal Mental Health
The primary goal of positive psychology is understanding and facilitating optimal mental health. However, absent fundamental causal principles that explain human psychological experience, positive psychology is unlikely to achieve this goal. We posit that fundamental causal principles may already have been uncovered, and we offer a study that tests the process from exposure to these principles to improved mental health. The results appear to supp…
The association of affective and continuance commitment with correctional staff life satisfaction
Previous research suggests that life satisfaction is a stronger predictor of job performance than job satisfaction, and life satisfaction is negatively associated with absenteeism and a desire to retire early. Despite the fact that employees with high life satisfaction are essential for organizations' optimal efficiency, little empirical research exists to determine the individual and workplace factors that shape and maintain high correctional st…

The graduate record examination as a predictor of graduate student performance: The case of criminal justice
Research on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) as a predictor of graduate student performance has been marked by much debate. Thornell and McCoy (1985) have found that the relationship between student performance and the GRE may be sensitive to the discipline being studied. While unexplained to date, this disciplinary variation may be related to the differences in means and/or relative dispersions of GRE scores among disciplines. Further, ther…
Achievement in criminal justice: An analysis of graduating seniors
Pressure from legislative bodies and the public for accountability in higher education has been associated with programs to gauge student's knowledge through means such as achievement tests. Yet little scholarly work is available on these programs. The present study explores the determinants of scores on a standardized criminal justice achievement test; some significant determinants of scores might be manipulated in efforts to improve program par…
