Smart Sentencing Guidelines: The Effect Of Marginal Policy Changes On Recidivism, Sarah M. Estelle, David C. Phillips Aug 2018

Smart Sentencing Guidelines: The Effect Of Marginal Policy Changes On Recidivism, Sarah M. Estelle, David C. Phillips

Faculty Publications

Public appeals regarding criminal justice have shifted somewhat from “tough on crime” to “smart justice” that is more lenient when tradeoffs merit it. Among other considerations, smart sentencing policy depends on how sentence severity affects recidivism. Using administrative data on two common non-violent felonies committed by adults in Michigan, we measure the effect of sentences on offenders' future criminal activity. Discontinuities in the legislative guidelines that constrain sentences chosen by Michigan judges provide exogenous variation in sentence severity. Harsher sentences generated by sentencing guidelines significantly reduce recidivism by felony shoplifters but not repeat drunk drivers. Recidivism falls most for young, …

Influence Of Physicians’ Beliefs On Propensity To Include Religion/Spirituality In Patient Interactions, Aaron B. Franzen Aug 2018

Influence Of Physicians’ Beliefs On Propensity To Include Religion/Spirituality In Patient Interactions, Aaron B. Franzen

Faculty Publications

This study examines physicians’ beliefs, their perceptions of whether religion impacts health outcomes, and their propensity to discuss religion/spirituality with patients. It is not uncommon for patients to want religious/spiritual conversations, but the occurrence is infrequent. This study adds to knowledge regarding which physicians include these topics. Using a nationally representative sample of physicians and a mediated bi-factor structural equation model, the author finds that “religious and spiritual” physicians connect religion and patient health more than other religious/spiritual orientations. As a result, “religious and spiritual” physicians include religion/spirituality most often (indirect path). After this variation is accounted for, “spiritual but …

Having The Number They Want: Empowerment Of Latin American Women, Sydney Hudock, Judith L. Gibbons Apr 2018

Having The Number They Want: Empowerment Of Latin American Women, Sydney Hudock, Judith L. Gibbons

17th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance (2018)

Empowerment, an individual’s ability to exercise authority and control over their life, can be expressed in a variety of ways. One indicator of empowerment affecting women is their ability to have their ideal number of children. However, culturally imposed gender roles may pose a barrier to women’s empowerment. In Latin American culture, machismo promotes hyper-masculinity and Marianismo encourages women to embody the Virgin Mary. This study assessed the relationship between empowerment of Latin American women and their ability to have their ideal number of children. Empowerment was measured with respect to educational, economic, social, and contraceptive domains using Demographic Health …

Digital Constructions Of Millennial Womanhood, Kelly Arnold Apr 2018

Digital Constructions Of Millennial Womanhood, Kelly Arnold

17th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance (2018)

This study identifies language used by online publication Refinery29 in their content about motherhood and career. Refinery29, per their mission statement, aims to produce articles that engage smart, driven Millennial women. In our analysis, there were numerically significantly more articles published about mothering, as compared with about careers, indicating that motherhood continues to be privileged identity as well as a space for creating new scripts for motherhood. Through qualitative textual analysis and data visualization (Voyant), I found that the main themes are celebrity as role model, use of social media to share mothering stories, and earning power. For female Millennials, …

Could Depression And Loss Of Dignity Correlate With Requesting Euthanasia And Physician-Assisted Suicide? A Look At The Research From The United States, Canada, And The Netherlands, Jana Sahyouni Apr 2018

Could Depression And Loss Of Dignity Correlate With Requesting Euthanasia And Physician-Assisted Suicide? A Look At The Research From The United States, Canada, And The Netherlands, Jana Sahyouni

17th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance (2018)

Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are legal in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Colombia, and Canada. Physician-assisted suicide alone is legal in Switzerland and within the U.S. in Oregon, Washington, Montana, California, and Vermont. Public support in the United States and the Netherlands for the “right to die” has steadily increased since 1950. This research seeks to uncover the underlying reasons that patients request euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Signs of psychological depression and loss of dignity appear to be the main reasons for considering euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. In the United States, requests for euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide correlated most strongly with …

Social Inclusion And Disability In The Us And China: An International Context For Experiential Learning, Kylie Dekryger, Abigail Duran, Maria G. Garcia Reyes, Gabrielle Werner Apr 2018

Social Inclusion And Disability In The Us And China: An International Context For Experiential Learning, Kylie Dekryger, Abigail Duran, Maria G. Garcia Reyes, Gabrielle Werner

17th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance (2018)

Children with disabilities are a highly vulnerable group around the world, including in China (Cheung, 2013). However, China’s context differs in two notable ways: population size and lack of systematic means of delivering community-based services for people with disabilities (Fisher, Li, and Fan, 2012; UNICEF-EAPRO, 2012). This project focused on the study of community-based services in China and their role in the continuum of care for persons with disabilities. In addition, students and faculty participated in experiential learning and professional development through engagement with non-governmental organizations that focus on this population in the cities of Beijing, Xian, Zhengzhou, and Hong …

“Dear Diary, I’M Feeling...”: Within- Country Diversity In Guatemalan Adolescents’ Gratitude And Hassles, Alyssa Arens, Judith Gibbons, Natalia Mariscovetere Fanjul, Colleen Maxwell, Jim Dolan Apr 2018

“Dear Diary, I’M Feeling...”: Within- Country Diversity In Guatemalan Adolescents’ Gratitude And Hassles, Alyssa Arens, Judith Gibbons, Natalia Mariscovetere Fanjul, Colleen Maxwell, Jim Dolan

17th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance (2018)

Gratitude is associated with subjective well-being in adolescents while hassles or everyday irritants likely detract from well-being. In Guatemala, a country with one of the highest rates of economic inequality in Latin America, adolescents’ experiences with gratitude and hassles may differ depending on socioeconomic status (World Bank, 2015). In the current qualitative study, we analyzed the within-country diversity of Guatemalan adolescents’ gratitude and hassles. The sample (N = 80) included data from two Guatemalan schools as part of a larger study. The first school served underprivileged youth (n = 37, Mage = 14.35, SD = 1.11, 48.6% girls), and the …

Gratitude Predicts Hope And Happiness: A Two-Study Assessment Of Traits And States, Charlotte Vanoyen-Witvliet, Fallon J. Richie, Lindsey M. Root Luna, Daryl R. Van Tongeren Jan 2018

Gratitude Predicts Hope And Happiness: A Two-Study Assessment Of Traits And States, Charlotte Vanoyen-Witvliet, Fallon J. Richie, Lindsey M. Root Luna, Daryl R. Van Tongeren

Faculty Publications

Gratitude is the appreciation of a gift received; happiness is the enjoyment of a present good; and hope is the desire for a valued future. Two studies investigated gratitude as a predictor of hope and happiness. In Study 1, hierarchical regressions (N = 181) revealed that trait gratitude exceeded other constructs (forgivingness, patience, self-control) in predicting trait hope and happiness. In Study 2, we experimentally tested the impact of a gratitude-related writing intervention on state hope and happiness. Participants (N = 153) first wrote about a current, meaningful, hoped-for outcome and completed state hope and happiness measures. Participants …

Game Spirituality: How Games Tell Us More Than We Might Think, Chad Carlson Jan 2018

Game Spirituality: How Games Tell Us More Than We Might Think, Chad Carlson

Faculty Publications

While we often see games as less serious or at least less transcendental than religion there is reason to believe that games can evoke similarly meaningful narratives that allow us to learn a great deal about ourselves and our world. And games do so often using the same symbolic and metaphorical mechanisms that generate meaning in religious experience. In this paper, I explore some of the ways in which game myths—the myths created from and through games—generate meaning in our lives. People experience myths in games very similarly to how they might in religion. I first explain what myth means …
