Is She Worse Than Him: An Attitudes And Perceptions Study, Sydney Mullins

COLA Research and Creativity Conference

There is currently an ongoing debate in regards to the level of equality amongst women and men in American society. Women often feel they are not seen as equal to men, and in most cases, this has proven to be true. However, whether or not this is true when it comes to the way people perceive deviant behavior is up for debate.

The purpose of this research is to assess the attitudes and perceptions, of the general public, surrounding the same acts being committed by males and females. The goal is to determine if a person committing criminal acts is …

Objection!: Ace Attorney And The Japanese Criminal Courts, Emmalee A. Ellison

COLA Research and Creativity Conference

The Ace Attorney video game series is a game series developed by Capcom since 2001 that can be described as an interactive visual novel in the criminal courts. Despite claims that the Ace Attorney video game series is inaccurate to court proceedings, these arguments are made in comparison to the American criminal justice system, and not the Japanese courts that the series was originally modeled after. The Ace Attorney series holds relatively true to the happenings of the Japanese criminal justice system, except some scenarios are localized and exaggerated for the sake of video game drama and suspense. Moreover, since …

The Balloon Effect On West Virginia, Ashley N. Wilson

COLA Research and Creativity Conference

According to the CDC, West Virginia is eleven times the national average for opiate related deaths. Huntington has been hit the worst with this drug epidemic. The idea of the balloon effect on drugs, is more commonly used to describe what happens when clamping down on the production of a drug in one area will push that same drug into another area. However, I will examine how the crack down on prescription pills here in West Virginia, has led to the pop up of other illicit drug use in the state.

The Effectiveness Of Treatment Plans For Incarcerated Individuals With Personality Disorders, Chelsea Wallen

COLA Research and Creativity Conference

This literature review aims to examine the types of treatment plans incarcerated individuals diagnosed with personality disorders receive and their effectiveness. I expect to find that inmates who receive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) will have higher rates of completing treatment. DBT consists of individual and group therapy, with a focus on the person’s emotions and actions and how they are related. Research indicates that DBT is an effective treatment strategy for female inmates with borderline personality disorder, as well as for inmates with comorbid borderline and antisocial personality disorders. Substance abuse treatment strategies have also been found to be effective …

Why Do Victims Keep Returning To Abusive Intimate Partners, Jieying Zhou

COLA Research and Creativity Conference

Purpose: The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (2010) states that more than 1 in 3 women (35.6%) and more than 1 in 4 men (28.5%) in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Most of the victims keep returning back to the abusive partners. The purpose of this study is to examine the following three questions: a) why would an individual keep on returning to an abusive relationship, b) how do attachment patterns enter into abusive relationships, and c) what individual characteristics make some more likely than others …

The Role Of Evidence-Based Research In The Decision-Making Process As Perceived By Local Board Of Education Policymakers In West Virginia, Elizabeth Anne Hoylman

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This non-experimental, descriptive study explored the perceptions of PK-12 policymakers in West Virginia regarding the sources of information they use in the decision-making process; whether and how evidence-based research is relied upon; whether evidence-based research is considered credible and usable; and what barriers, facilitators, and demographic data may play roles in the decision-making process. Data were collected from a 15-question researcher-created survey administered to nearly 200 county board of education members. Results indicated that while policymakers think evidence-based research is important, they nonetheless use it less than other types of information. Consumers consider research reports too lengthy. Respondents indicated they …

Planet Superman: An Ecocritical Analysis Of The Man Of Steel From 1938-2017, Justin Hart Crary

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Planet Superman is a critical examination of the DC comic book superhero Superman as analyzed through an ecocritical lens. The primary argument is that, within the world of DC Comics, Superman is single-handedly capable of ending all of the Earth’s various ecological crises using his very existence as a solar battery or using his superhuman power to become a totalitarian despot that enforces the law through superior firepower. I calculate Superman’s greatest feat of energy output to prove how much solar energy is actively dormant within the Man of Steel. Using the several “versions” of Superman throughout his 79 year …

A Learning Model Of Community Collaboration In West Virginia, Tracy L. Bradley

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This study tested a grounded theory model, Getting it Together: A Learning Model of Community Collaboration, developed during a six-year study (2004-2010) of a statewide substance abuse prevention program funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). The model features the perceptions and experiences of those who were active in community-based collaborative and educational work in West Virginia focused on substance abuse prevention. The study revisited community coalitions from three counties that were part of the original ethnographic research used to develop the community collaboration theory. The grounded theory …

A Study Of The Wv Judges' Truancy Program Used In Eight Wv Counties From 2012-2015, Lori Gibson Comer

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The purpose of this study was to examine the West Virginia Judges’ Truancy Program used in eight counties from 2012-2015.

While much research can be found concerning the topic of truancy and some research on different types of truancy diversion programs, no research has been found on this particular program used in West Virginia. In this study data were collected from the West Virginia Department of Education …
