On Coming And Going, Quintin Teszeri
On Coming And Going, Quintin Teszeri
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dossier and the accompanying exhibition On Coming and Going (presented at the Artlab Gallery in January 2017) constitute my MFA in Visual Arts thesis. The first chapter of this dossier is a Comprehensive Artist Statement in which I reflect on how my art, thinking, and life engage different meanings of coming and going in different ways. The statement approaches a deeply subjective and aggregate philosophy, or perhaps an attitude, or perhaps most appropriately if also most cliché, a way of being, in the face of relentless transience. The second chapter is a review of Michel de Broin’s 2016 Castles …
Dynamically Testing Graphical User Interfaces, Santo Carino
Dynamically Testing Graphical User Interfaces, Santo Carino
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Software test generation for GUIs is a hard problem. The goal of this thesis is to investigate different methods for dynamically generating tests for GUIs. We introduce the concept of an event-pair graph, which is used to represent and measure test suites, and show how it can be used to generate tests and measure GUI coverage. Before we can begin generating tests, we first want to determine which is better: a small test suite with a few long tests or a large test suite with many short tests. Therefore, we designed and conducted a study to determine which is more …
The Dark Triad Beyond The Spi: Providing Incremental Validity In Predicting Prosocial And Risky Behaviours, Rui Sun, Don H. Saklofske Ph.D.
The Dark Triad Beyond The Spi: Providing Incremental Validity In Predicting Prosocial And Risky Behaviours, Rui Sun, Don H. Saklofske Ph.D.
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Personality measures have been criticized for their lack of coverage of some traits. As a result, researchers have examined and combined measures to better understand and predict target behaviours. The Supernumerary Personality Inventory (SPI; Paunonen, 2002) was designed to measure a wide range of personality traits, including antisocial tendencies. The Dark Triad (Paulhus & Williams, 2002) was developed specifically to measure the socially malevolent traits of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. Previous studies revealed significant correlations between the SPI traits and the Dark Triad traits, which suggest that the two measures may share some of the same theoretical underpinnings. The present …
Stress Interventions For First-Year Undergraduate Students, Shawna N. Allen
Stress Interventions For First-Year Undergraduate Students, Shawna N. Allen
Undergraduate Honours Theses
Previous research has found that first-year undergraduate students experience the highest level of academic stress compared to students in upper years. As well, additional research on stress interventions has found that utilizing a cognitive behavioural component and a relaxation technique will result in the lowest levels of stress. The present study provided first-year undergraduate students with a stress intervention where the goal was to reduce their overall academic stress levels. Participants were recruited through an introductory psychology course at Huron University College in London, Ontario. A 2 X 2 design was used in this study with relaxation and video type …
Speech To The Beat: Infants' Processing, Alix Altow
Speech To The Beat: Infants' Processing, Alix Altow
Undergraduate Honours Theses
Previous research suggests that infants have high sensitivity to prosodic cues when listening to continuous speech. Specifically, rhythmic patterns play a significant role for infants’ language development. Kuiack (2015) conducted a head-turn preference study where infants were shown to rely on the fine durational cues to recognize novel words from familiarized words. However, Kuiack failed to control for beat regularity between words. The present study seeks to explore whether the success in detection of the contrasting vowel durations within the words in the Kuiack (2015) study was due to the regularity in timing. The current study inserted irregular pauses between …
Peer Group Belonging, Group Norms And Alcohol Consumption In Emerging Adulthood, Angelica Bell
Peer Group Belonging, Group Norms And Alcohol Consumption In Emerging Adulthood, Angelica Bell
Undergraduate Honours Theses
Emerging adults’ alcohol consumption is strongly influenced by the behaviour and beliefs of their peer group (Arnett, 2005), with individuals tending to behave in ways that are consistent with their peer group’s norms for drinking (Dumas, Wells, Flynn, Lange, & Graham, 2014). Little research, however, has been conducted on moderators of this relationship. Such research is important in order to determine which group members are most at risk of adopting group drinking behaviour. Two studies were conducted to examine emerging adults’ sense of peer group belonging as a moderator of the relationship between peer group and individual drinking behaviour. Study …
Effects Of Visual And Geometric Cues In Rat Foraging, Kyle Rubini
Effects Of Visual And Geometric Cues In Rat Foraging, Kyle Rubini
Undergraduate Honours Theses
The purpose of the current study was to investigate cue competition in rat foraging. Rats were placed in a food tower maze comprised of 25 towers arranged in a 5 x 5 matrix. Four towers within the maze were baited and arranged in a diamond spatial pattern. The rat’s objective during each trial was to find each baited tower. The rats in the Visual + Pattern (V+P) condition had an additional, visual cue in the form of striped sleeves placed on all four baited towers. There were 80 trials in total, split into two phases of 40 trials. Rats in …
The Effect Of Past Experiences On Forgiveness Intentions In Romantic Relationships, Morgane E. Lashkari-Moghaddam
The Effect Of Past Experiences On Forgiveness Intentions In Romantic Relationships, Morgane E. Lashkari-Moghaddam
Undergraduate Honours Theses
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of incident recall (hurtful, kind) on forgiveness decisions in romantic relationships. Participants (N=73) were undergraduate students in a current relationship of at least one month in length, recruited through a mass email. In an online survey, participants were asked to think of a time within the past month that their partner was either kind or hurtful towards them. Next, they imagined twelve hypothetical transgressions committed by their partner.. For each transgression, participants indicated the extent to which they would engage in exit, voice, loyalty, and neglect responses. Results showed that …
The Effects Of Self-Care Meditation Behaviour On Undergraduate Students’ Reported Stress, Anna Smallwood
The Effects Of Self-Care Meditation Behaviour On Undergraduate Students’ Reported Stress, Anna Smallwood
Undergraduate Honours Theses
The goal of this research study was to provide undergraduate post-secondary students with a self-care behaviour that: a) was self-help based; b) could become a routine part of their schedules; and c) was effective in lowering their stress responses. One group of participants was asked to rate their stress on a 7-point scale, twice a day, for 10 business days. A second group of participants was also asked to rate their stress following the same instructions however they were also asked to perform a 5-minute mindfulness-based meditation twice a day, immediately following the stress ratings. A 2 (Week 1 vs. …
Resting State Fcmri In The Social Cognition Network As A Predictive Measure For Scores Of Socialization Of Preterm Neonates, Angela Westgate
Resting State Fcmri In The Social Cognition Network As A Predictive Measure For Scores Of Socialization Of Preterm Neonates, Angela Westgate
Undergraduate Honours Theses
Many resting state networks have been detected in newborn infants using functional connectivity Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fcMRI). Few studies have looked at a social cognition network in adults and none have looked at this network in infants. Social cognition plays an important role in social competence at school age and beyond, and infants born prematurely tend to have difficulties with peer relationships and lower academic performance by school-age. This study had two purposes: to find a social cognition network in our preterm and neurologically diagnosed sample, and to find a relationship to social interaction scores from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior …
The Effects Of Video Feedback On Public Speaking Anxiety, Nicole M. Donovan
The Effects Of Video Feedback On Public Speaking Anxiety, Nicole M. Donovan
Undergraduate Honours Theses
Previous research has demonstrated that video feedback through video self-modelling effectively improves public speaking performance; however, results have been inconclusive with respect to its effectiveness in decreasing public speaking anxiety. The present study investigated the effects of video feedback on public speaking anxiety by implementing a video self-modelling technique in a sample of university students with public speaking anxiety. Students with upcoming presentations in their university-level courses were recruited to participate. They completed an online questionnaire measuring state and trait public speaking anxiety and were filmed performing a practice version of their upcoming presentation. Participants were randomly assigned to an …
Guilt As A Mediator In The Relationship Between Transgression Severity And Transgressors’ Feelings Of Forgiveness In Romantic Relationships, Laura Matias
Undergraduate Honours Theses
The present study examined guilt as a possible mediator between transgression severity and feelings of forgiveness in transgressors. First-year university students who were currently in a relationship were randomly assigned to describe a minor or a major transgression that they had committed against their romantic partner. They then filled out a questionnaire that assessed their feelings and expressions of guilt following the transgression, their perceptions of how their partner responded to the transgression, and finally how forgiven they felt by their partner. The results did not support the hypothesis of guilt as a mediator between transgression severity and feelings of …
