  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A study to examine the relationship between burnout/selected demographic characteristics and supervisory support among school psychologists Author: Sullivan, J. Kevin The principal focus of this investigation was to add to the very limited body of knowledge on stress and burnout among certificated school psychologists. The objective of this study was to learn both the incidence of burnout and the relationship between that incidence and selected demographic variables and supervisory support among certificated school psychologists in Oregon. A sample of 70 school psychologists responded to a three-part research instrument consisting of a demographic data sheet, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Work Experience Scale (WES). The primary measuring instrument the MBI, provided a measure of perceived burnout in terms of the level of burnout of Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment. The Work Experience Scale provided a measure of perceived level of supervisory support. School Psychologists were grouped according to the following demographic and job-related variables: 1.Educational level. 2.Type of academic preparation. 3.Years of experience as a school psychologist. 4.Years of experience in special education. 5.Sex. 6.Income. 7.Years in present job. 8.Geographical work setting. Correlations of coefficient were computed to determine the degree of relationship between dependent burnout variables and significant independent demographic variables. Means and standard deviation for the study population and Maslach's sample population were performed to see if material differences exist between these two populations. Analysis of variance techniques were used to compare dependent burnout variables with selected independent demographic variables. The Newman Kuels Multiple Comparison procedure was performed to determine if statistical differences exist between geographical work settings. Multiple regression techniques were used to identify the relationship between the dependent burnout variables and all independent demographic variables. Findings rejected the hypothesis that there was no significant relationship to burnout level of depersonalization and income, the burnout level of emotional exhaustion and years on the job, emotional exhaustion and income, emotional exhaustion and supervisory support, emotional exhaustion and level of academic preparation, and level of personal accomplishment and work setting. All other hypotheses were rejected, however, significant relationships were found between the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization levels of burnout and selected independent demographic variables. Additionally, mean scores for the burnout subscales indicated moderate levels of burnout existed when respondent scoring information were compared against normative data.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Enrollment Forecast for Horizon Christian School 2005-2015 Author: Portland State University. Population Research Center, Proehl, Risa S. Year: 2000 This report provides a 2005-2015 school Enrollment Forecast for Horizon Christian School by grade level, and includes background demographic information and analysis for Horizon Christian School’s market area. The market area for this study consists of Northern Wasco County and Hood River County School Districts in Oregon, and White Salmon School District in Washington. Horizon Christian School, offering grades pre-kindergarten through 12, is located in the city of Hood River and its classrooms are located in rented spaces at three different sites throughout the city. Plans to construct a new facility to house Horizon on one campus have been made. The factors that are likely to affect Horizon’s enrollments are considered in this report, including the occurrence of demographic events and the construction of a new school facility. Three different scenarios of enrollment changes were developed to account for different probabilities of demographic changes and the effects a new school facility will have on enrollments. Each of the three Enrollment Forecasts uses one of the following assumptions: (a) current demographic and enrollment trends will continue throughout the forecast period; (b) a new school facility will be constructed and operational beginning in the 2006-07 school year, and (c) a new school facility will be operational beginning in the 2006-07 school year and population growth in Horizon’s market area will increase during the forecast period.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: PRC Gresham Parks Report: Demographic and Parks Access Analyses Author: Radin, Kenneth, Sharkova, Irina V. Year: 2007 The City of Gresham Parks & Recreation Division (GPRD) requested that the Portland State University Population Research Center (PRC) prepare a demographic profile, population forecasts, and parks and natural areas access analyses (‘parks access’) for the City of Gresham and its Springwater and Pleasant Valley planning areas. The study will inform GPRD’s Parks, Natural Areas, and Trails Comprehensive Planning effort, currently underway. The demographic profile discusses current conditions and likely future trends for population, housing, and households, with a focus on age and race/ethnicity. It includes many demographic map ‘layers’, which in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software can be overlayed on parks access layers. Year-2020 population forecasts are prepared by age and sex for the City of Gresham and, for the general population, by Gresham’s neighborhoods, Pleasant Valley, and Springwater. Parks access analyses focus on GPRD parkland typologies: Neighborhood and Community parks, Natural Areas (Open Space), and Trails. One model includes versions for existing and proposed conditions, while the other two build on the first, adding an analysis of parkland quality, proximity to schools, and proximity to parks outside Gresham. Model summaries and other parks access data, by neighborhood, are provided in an appendix. The report is divided into two main sections: Section I includes the demographic profile and population forecasts. Section II covers the parks access analyses. Together, both sections hold insights and analytical tools with which the City of Gresham can move forward confidently in its Comprehensive Planning effort.
