The Effect Of Religiosity, Partisanship, And Identity-Seeking Behavior On Political Engagement, Jackson Giammattei
The Effect Of Religiosity, Partisanship, And Identity-Seeking Behavior On Political Engagement, Jackson Giammattei
Honors Theses
Is politics increasingly substituting for religion as a source of identity? As organized religion is on the decline in the United States and the "nones" (those who are Atheist, Agnostic, or claim no religion) continue to be some of the most politically active people in the country, it seems that there is a shift away from religion and towards politics. The present study explored this idea by testing the relationships among religiosity, identity-seeking behavior, and political engagement. I hypothesized that people seeking an identity would become more politically engaged after a partisan threat, especially if they were lower in religiosity. …
Liberty Through The Looking-Glass: Comparative Democratic Backsliding In Response To The French Revolution (1789-1806), Michael Rosenbaum
Liberty Through The Looking-Glass: Comparative Democratic Backsliding In Response To The French Revolution (1789-1806), Michael Rosenbaum

The antipathy towards the Revolution fractured British and American society into conservatives, moderates, …
Student Perception Of Covid-19 Mitigation Strategies And Correlation To Demographics At The University Of Mississippi, Anna Couhig
Student Perception Of Covid-19 Mitigation Strategies And Correlation To Demographics At The University Of Mississippi, Anna Couhig
Honors Theses
COVID-19 caused an unprecedented dilemma for universities, the best method of continuing education during a pandemic. Different mitigation strategies were developed as higher education institutions transitioned back to in-person learning, and the effectiveness of these strategies depended largely on adherence by college students. COVID-19 remains a vastly unexplored research topic, and college students’ approval of mitigation strategies is largely untouched. This research answers the question: “Are University of Mississippi student perceptions of COVID-19 mitigation strategies correlated to demographics?” Through a mixed-methods survey that was sent to a random sample of full-time undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Mississippi, …
The Beliefs Of The Oldest Fraternity, Bella Blankenship
The Beliefs Of The Oldest Fraternity, Bella Blankenship
Honors Theses
The Freemasons have a belief system that follows believing in a God of some sort and that there is a sacred text to be used and that they rules and rituals that they must abide by. They use a variety of symbols to explain what they believe and have essential beliefs that all freemasons must follow. The Freemason belief system is full of inconsistent ideas about God, how to relate with others, and symbols that show how to live moral lives.
