Taking Offense And Individual Differences: Who We Are Determines What Offends Us, Sarah J. Mcdougal
Taking Offense And Individual Differences: Who We Are Determines What Offends Us, Sarah J. Mcdougal
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
Scarce literature regarding the mechanisms of offense-taking exists. However, a broad survey of literature in social psychology points to several possible mechanisms such as: breaking cultural norms, sensemaking and the correspondence bias (Gilbert, 2000), intent, and individual differences. In this paper two individual differences are examined: need for cognition and narcissism. A survey presenting four scenarios, two generally offensive situations and two personal affronts, showed that those high in need for cognition were less likely to make a negative character judgment about the "offender" in several scenarios, while there was no distinguishable difference between those high or low in narcissism.

Incorporating Health Outcomes In Physical Therapy, Janelle Coffman
Incorporating Health Outcomes In Physical Therapy, Janelle Coffman
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
Ask any physical therapist and they will be sure to tell you the human body is nothing short of amazing. It provides each person with an individual subjective experience of the world. It is the only possession that people are born with and that cannot be taken away. Within the array of different shapes and sizes bodies come in reside personalities and lives even more unique, all whom deserve to feel good and be happy. Everyday, physical therapists help patients with their ultimate possessions, working as the "mechanics" of a true "body shop."

An Inside View Of An Alternative Model For Secondary Schools, Gerald Matthew Bacoats
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
I was a twenty year old black male without a job. My previous job working at a children's science museum didn't exactly work out. Neither did my stint as a waiter/entertainer. I was satisfied being a full-time college student; unfortunately, my mother had other plans. She is one of a dying breed: the kind of mother who will not only nag you to death to get you to do something, but will also impose upon you her plans for you until they become your own. One of those genius plans was to put her 20 year-old son with high school …
Sleep Patterns And Depression, Sophia Delgado
Sleep Patterns And Depression, Sophia Delgado
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
Although sleep is an important part of every person's life, depression only affects a small portion of the population. Each subject is a source of fascination to both scientists and laypersons alike. Effort to understand these subjects, both separately and together, can add to the expanding knowledge base, leading to further research, which can, in turn, help people who suffer from these issues. The motivation of this thesis is to review current literature on both sleep and depression separately, followed by a review of literature covering both topics, and then a small study about sleeping habits and depression.
The Silent Woolf: The Examination Of The Effects Of Silence By Gender, Shannon Ann Chisholm
The Silent Woolf: The Examination Of The Effects Of Silence By Gender, Shannon Ann Chisholm
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
Virginia Woolf was tortured by limitations in her both life and writing. What modem critics now see as innovative and unique aspects of her style, she identified as flaws. Besides never being able to find a perfect balance between intellect and expression in her writing, Woolf also found limitations within language. Sue Roe explains that through her essays on silence, Woolf "expressed her sense that the English language was no longer equipped to suggest the nuances of emotional and psychological insight" (14). To her, modem English is not expansive enough to express the emotions that lingered inside the human soul.
The Ten-Year Hike To The Starting Line: One Writer's Journey From Bad To Competent, Darien Cavanaugh
The Ten-Year Hike To The Starting Line: One Writer's Journey From Bad To Competent, Darien Cavanaugh
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
When someone asks what I am studying in graduate school, I usually answer "English," occasionally "writing," but rarely "creative writing." I try to leave it at "English" because when I do slip up and say "creative writing," too often the response is a skeptical look followed by a question along the lines of, "Can you really be taught how to write?" The implication is, of course, that you've either got it or you don't, and that is that. This is old hat by now, but for some reason it won't go away, no matter how many major authors come out …
A Large-Scale Movable Bed Study On Beach-Profile Changes Under Erosive And Accretionary Waves, Tiffany Roberts
A Large-Scale Movable Bed Study On Beach-Profile Changes Under Erosive And Accretionary Waves, Tiffany Roberts
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
The SUPERTANK experiment's unique dataset was utilized in this study to examine the effects of elevated water levels due to wave setup and swash runup on beach morphology. Detailed beach-profile changes under erosive and accretionary waves were examined and compared with incoming wave conditions and time-averaged water level. Overall, 30 cases out of350 SUPERTANK experiments were investigated. The findings of this study include 1) the Dean Number is a reliable tool for assessing beach erosion and accretion under various wave conditions; 2) the upper limit of beach-profile change is roughly equal to the limit of swash runup; 3) the exception …
