Impact Of Cell Phone Use During Face-To-Face Social Interaction, Silvia Omboni, Kate Lopez
Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
This study is about the effect of cell phone use during face-to-face social interactions. Past research has shown that cell phone use decreases levels of enjoyment during social interactions, thus we conducted a conceptual replication of Dwyer et al. (2017) study to test this. We predicted that participants who used their phones during a social interaction will experience lower levels of enjoyment compared to participants who did not use their cell phones.

We performed an extension study on a previous research article My Fair Lady? Inferring Organizational Trust from the Mere Presence of Women in Leadership Roles and applied it to college students at Longwood University. The research question being examined was whether or not female student leaders are perceived to show more organizational trust than male student leaders. We hypothesized that female student leaders would be more trusted than male student leaders within the organizations of the Student Government Association (SGA) and Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL).

Clothing And Compliments, Eva Copenhaver, Alexander Elliot, Jacob Gagat
Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
We seek to see if the clothing a compliment receiver wears will affect how people perceive the importance of their compliments. If a participant compliments a confederate wearing informal clothing, they will then perceive their compliments as being less valuable than if they were to compliment a confederate with formal clothing. We did this by having individuals fill out a survey that evaluates how they believe their compliment will make someone feel. Then they went out and complimented a confederate. And finally, they took one more survey that evaluated how they believe their compliment made the individual feel.

Specifically, does the complimenting type, attire, or physical appearance, affect the estimation of the compliment's value on the receiver. Our prediction was that participants would underestimate their compliment's value on the receiver, if they gave an attire compliment, as compared to giving a physical appearance compliment.

To test this prediction we had participants engage in discussion about topics that were deemed casual or meaningful while either having their phone on the table or put away. Social enjoyment levels were assessed through a questionnaire …
