This research was necessary in order to (a) examine new quantitative data regarding the efficacy of the Behavioral Activation Project at the Men’s Shelter, (b) fully examine the extension of the Behavioral Activation Project to the Women’s Shelter, and (c) enrich our understanding of the Behavioral Activation Program’s efficacy by supplementing quantitative findings with a preliminary examination of qualitative findings. Quantitative results of the study indicated that the Behavioral Activation Project has continued efficacy at the Men’s Shelter, with strong generalization to the Women’s Shelter. Qualitative findings were consistent with and supportive of the quantitative findings. Additionally, qualitative data suggested that possible efficacy of the project may be rooted in Rogerian concepts and/or attachment principles. Finally, qualitative data suggested that the additional psychosocial construct of gratitude (which was not assessed by quantitative research) may be increased through participation in the Behavioral Activation Project activities. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed. 2017 English text University of Dayton / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1512598843665214 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1512598843665214 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
