Development and Psychometric Evaluation of a Short Measure of Personal Intelligence
The Multidimensional Inventory of Personal Intelligence (MIPI) was designed to measure three related dimensions of the personal intelligence (PI) construct: emotional intelligence (EI), social intelligence (SI), and motivational intelligence (MI). The MIPI has psychometric properties and a theoretical structure that improves on the shortcomings of existing trait EI measures. The aim of the first study was to create and validate a shortened form (MIPI- Short) that maintains the same factorial structure of the original MIPI. The purpose of the second study was to validate the new scale with measures of conceptually similar constructs (e.g., emotional intelligence, Alexithymia) with various measurement methodologies (self-report, observer-report, and performance-based). Results from Study 1 found that the MIPI-Short had good factorial structure in two independent samples, as well as adequate internal reliability, and good incremental validity. The results of Study 2 demonstrated that the MIPI-Short had good construct validity as it generally related as expected with measures of EI and Alexithymia. The findings of both studies provide evidence for the validity of the MIPI-Short as a brief measure of Personal Intelligence. Directions for further research are emphasized, as the validation process is on-going for any assessment tool.

Understanding Anishinaabeg Connection with Creation in Curve Lake First Nation: A Case Study of Decolonized Nature Connection and Indigenist Mixed Methods Research
This thesis explores connection with creation/nature in Curve Lake First Nation, including the components of how this connection manifests and community concerns about and priorities for this connection. Influenced by existing psychological theories and frameworks about how humans connect with the natural world, this research implements novel Indigenist methodologies that are responsive to community interests and desires. Seven knowledge contributors (participants) participated in three research sharing circles to explore the research topic. The research revealed unique concerns and priorities in the community about connection with creation, such as the impacts of treaties and the need for the reclamation of critical natural sites. This thesis also reports on critical aspects of connection with creation through the elements of the Medicine Wheel, as well as the Anishinaabe concept of mino bimaadiziwin. Results are presented in thematic analyses and informed the preliminary steps in creating a connection with creation scale for the community.
