Augustine Of Hippo: A Historical Theology Critique, Zachary Monte
Augustine Of Hippo: A Historical Theology Critique, Zachary Monte
Honors Program Projects
This study evaluates how current historical theology survey texts understand and present the theology of Augustine. The texts are examined to assess the following: accuracy of presentation on discussed topics, specific theological topics Augustine addressed excluded in the surveys, and theological bias on the part of the authors. The historical theology surveys include Gregg Allison’s Historical Theology: An Introduction to Christian Doctrine, Justo González’s A History of Christian Thought, and Alister McGrath’s Historical Theology: An Introduction to the History of Christian Thought. The three major topics treated include Augustine’s Trinitarian thought, the Donatist Controversy, and the Pelagian Controversy. The findings …
The Political Glass Cliff: Potential Causes Of Female Underrepresentation In The U.S. House Of Representatives, Erica Browning
The Political Glass Cliff: Potential Causes Of Female Underrepresentation In The U.S. House Of Representatives, Erica Browning
Honors Program Projects
The study of gender equality in leadership roles has for the majority of its history focused on the phenomenon of the glass ceiling. A new theory has recently immerged calling attention to the idea that women who attain leadership roles are set up in crisis or failure situations more often than their male counterparts. This is called the ‘glass cliff theory’ and over the past decade has been studied in the fields of business and politics. This research will discuss the leadership stereotypes that may affect women in these roles, and the evidence of the existence of the glass cliff. …
The Independence Of Foreign Affairs And Importance Of Social Issues In The Political Attitudes Of Olivet Nazarene University Students, 2010-2013, David Claborn, Lindsey Tobias
The Independence Of Foreign Affairs And Importance Of Social Issues In The Political Attitudes Of Olivet Nazarene University Students, 2010-2013, David Claborn, Lindsey Tobias
Faculty Scholarship – Political Science
This paper maps people’s politics onto three axes to see how those axes interrelate. 617 Midwestern faith-based university students answered 10 questions on social issues, 12 questions on economic issues, and 11 questions on foreign affairs. This project is specifically interested in knowing if the social and economic answers explain the foreign affairs answers. The biggest conclusion drawn is how little they do. One’s social and economic attitudes predict 5.5% of one’s foreign affairs. We can also conclude that social attitudes of these students drive party identification much more than economic or foreign affairs as students identify as Republican four-to-one, …

If You Can't Join 'Em, Don't : Untangling Attitudes On Social, Economic And Foreign Issues By Graphing Them, David Claborn, Lindsey Tobias
Faculty Scholarship – Political Science
“Are you politically left or right?” Students of politics cringe at how reductionist a simple political spectrum is. This is why early on in politics classes students learn how to expand the one dimension to two. Attitudes on social and economic regulation can show students the inconsistencies of Republicans and Democrats, and introduce Libertarians and Communitarians as consistent counterparts. What comes about when we add a foreign affairs axis to the social and economic regulation axes? This project adds that foreign affairs axis to our conventional 2-D graph, thus making a 3-D cube of political attitudes. We then find that …
The Effects Of Fdi And Aid On Development In Latin America, Jesse Michael Mezera
The Effects Of Fdi And Aid On Development In Latin America, Jesse Michael Mezera
Undergraduate Student Scholarship – History
This paper, assuming a positive correlation between aid and FDI given to countries, will look to measure whether the aid given to Latin America has been effective in creating development. In order to measure development, development must first be defined in a way that will allow for concrete indicators of development. Using these seven criteria as a guide this paper will look to use data collected by studies of Latin America in these seven areas to gain a measure of how development has progressed over the last fifteen years. Once this information has been compiled, it will be compared against …
The True And Established Royal Line: Henry Vii's Legitimization Of The Tudor Dynasty, Rachel M. Taylor-Bork
The True And Established Royal Line: Henry Vii's Legitimization Of The Tudor Dynasty, Rachel M. Taylor-Bork
Undergraduate Student Scholarship – History
As one of most famous monarchs in English history, the Tudors have sparked the interest of everyone from filmmakers to authors to historians. It is my purpose in this paper to highlight the founder of this family, King Henry VII. This paper highlights his ability to secure and maintain the English throne, both in the public consciousness and in actuality. In addition, it will also explore the legacy of such security throughout the Tudor period. To do so, this paper follows the genealogy of Henry VII and of Elizabeth of York. It also covers Henry’s ascension to the throne during …
Political Attitudes Bias The Mental Representation Of A Presidential Candidate's Face, Alison I. Young, Kyle G. Ratner, Russell H. Fazio
Political Attitudes Bias The Mental Representation Of A Presidential Candidate's Face, Alison I. Young, Kyle G. Ratner, Russell H. Fazio
Faculty Scholarship – Psychology
Using a technique known as reverse correlation image classification, we demonstrate that the physical face of Mitt Romney represented in people’s minds varies as a function of their attitudes toward Mitt Romney. This provides evidence that attitudes bias how we see something as concrete and well-learned as the face of a political candidate during an election. Practically, this implies that citizens may not merely interpret political information about a candidate to fit their opinion, but that they may construct a political world where they literally see candidates differently.
