ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my committee chair, Dr. Scott Warren,
who has spent countless hours helping me to formulate and analyze this paper. I would also like
to thank my dissertation committee, Dr. Cathleen Norris and Dr. Lin Lin, for their support and
encouragement. Dr. Norris has been exceedingly helpful with guiding me through the doctoral
program and Dr. Lin has always been willing to provide a helping hand. I have enjoyed my time
at the University of North Texas and I would like to thank my fellow classmates for their
reassurance and friendship. I want to give a special thanks to Debra Blackwell and Amy
Trombley for helping me to analyze my qualitative data.
I would like to express my gratitude toward the National Science Foundation for their
assistance to help fund this endeavor. My fellow National Science Foundation grant team
members also deserve special thanks, especially, Dr. Wanda Dann and Anita Wright. They have
been tremendously supportive throughout the duration of the grant and this dissertation.
My department dean and coworkers have been exceptionally accommodating to my
obligations as a doctoral student. Thank you for being so understanding.
I am fortunate to have wonderful friends that helped me to stay focused and achieve my
goals. Thank you for keeping me motivated.
I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to my family, especially my parents, Arthur and
Eileen Wrigley. They have been extremely loving, patient, and supportive throughout this whole
process. I would not have made it this far without them. Thank you for believing in me. I can't
thank you enough. Finally, I would like to thank my amazing husband, Timothy Daly, for being
there for me when I needed him most. He has endured many hours of dissertation "torture." I
thank you with all my heart.11iii
