Abstract: Currently, there are over 6,000 cases in the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) unidentified persons file. Law enforcement, advocates and researchers, however, estimate that the real number of unidentified persons in the United States is upwards of 40,000. In September of 2005, the Bureau of Justice Statistics fielded the Census of Medical Examiners and Coroners, which includes a section that collects various types of information about unidentified human remains. This paper will compare the number of unidentified persons reported by medical examiners and coroners with the number of cases in the NCIC. |

"Unidentified Allies: Intersections of Feminist and Transpersonal Thought and Potential Contributions to Social Change" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the The Association for Women in Psychology, Hilton San Diego - Mission Valley, San Diego, CA, Mar 13, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-29 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p234988_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Feminist and transpersonal schools of thought are kaleidoscopic: consisting of distinct interlocking influences. Yet both share a holistic view of the human psyche. This discussion suggests loci of synthesized theoretical constructs between the two disciplines and how a feminist-transpersonal perspective may catalyze social change on personal, regional, and global levels. |

"Phantom Smokers: The Unidentified Who Do Not Identify With Smokers" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Communication Association, TBA, San Francisco, CA, May 23, 2007 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-29 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p172482_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper presents an exploratory investigation into the development of a new typology of smoking status based on an individual’s self-identified smoking status and their actual smoking behavior. We identified a unique segment of cigarette consumers, “Phantom Smokers” who do not view themselves as smokers, but still report smoking cigarettes. Using a sample of approximately 1,500 college students, this study empirically examines the concept of phantom smokers and captures their profile. About 16% of the respondents appeared to be phantom smokers and reported that they are not smokers even if they purchase cigarettes for themselves to smoke. The respondents in the phantom smoker group showed distinctiveness in the middle between smokers and nonsmokers along the continuum of attitudes toward smokers and smoking consequences. In addition, the phantom smoker group reported a smaller percentage of social circle who smoke than the respondents in the smoker group did but more than the respondents in the smoker group did. Finally, the practical implications of this new typology for antismoking message development are discussed. |
