Physical inactivity is a major contributing factor to prevalence of obesity and diabetes along the Texas-Mexico Border. Walking has been identified as a popular activity, but appropriate distances are seldom attained. This investigation was performed to evaluate self-monitored pedometer use, stage of change movement, and psychosocial mediators using walking as the physical activity. Seventy students enrolled in university kinesiology activity classes (age 22.53 ± 4.5, percent M/F 8/92) volunteered to wear pedometers for nine weeks and record weekly step averages. Weekly step averages were compared with an ANOVA and psychometric variables were analyzed with MANOVA. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention survey packets containing scales measuring exercise behavior change, barri...

The expert system assesses stage of change, decisional balance, self-efficacy, and processes of change and provides immediate individualized stage-matched feedback designed to increase readiness to end the violence. Fifty-eight male batterer intervention program clients were invited by agency staff to complete an expert system session and an evaluation of the program; 33 men were recruited at program intake and the remainder from ongoing groups. Responses to the intervention were very posit...
A business educator performed a management training intervention in collaboration with members of the human resource management office of a medium sized luxury resort. The intent was to demonstrate a single example of the synergistic outcomes associated with practitioner and academic professional collaborations within small-to-medium enterprises (SME). The results show that blended quantitative and qualitative techniques were appropriate for a single incident of organizational development (OD) diagnostics and interventions within a service-intensive organization. The conclusion presents a technique that may be replicated within other enterprises.
