Keeping The Romance Alive (And Well): Sense Of Purpose As A Predictor Of Relationship Quality And Dissolution, Gabrielle N. Pfund Jan 2021

Keeping The Romance Alive (And Well): Sense Of Purpose As A Predictor Of Relationship Quality And Dissolution, Gabrielle N. Pfund

Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Sense of purpose, or the extent to which one feels that they have personally meaningful goals and a direction guiding them through life, has consistently predicted a variety of desirable well-being, health, and social outcomes. However, work has been limited with respect to evaluating it as a predictor and promoter of social relationships, especially romantic ones.

Do The Age And Drama Type Of Individuals Affect Their Perceived Social Status?, Bradly A. Mcginnis

Evaluating The Effects Of Self-Control Depletion On Task Persistence: A Focus On The Moderating Effects Of Performance Monitoring, Hayley Houseman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Self-control is essential in day-to-day life and has important implications for goal attainment, successful living, and psychological well-being.

Eighty undergraduate students were recruited to participate in the study. Participants …

Temporality In A Time Of Tam, Or Towards A Racial Chronopolitics Of Intellectual Property Law, Anjali Vats Jan 2021

Temporality In A Time Of Tam, Or Towards A Racial Chronopolitics Of Intellectual Property Law, Anjali Vats

This Article examines the intersections of race, intellectual property, and temporality from the vantage point of Critical Race Intellectual Property ("CRTIP"). More specifically, it offers one example of how trademark law operates to normalize white supremacy by and through judicial frameworks that default to Euro-American understandings of time. I advance its central argument-that achieving racial justice in the context of intellectual property law requires decolonizing Euro-American conceptions of time by considering how the equitable defense of laches and the judicial power to raise issues sua sponte operate in trademark law. I make this argument through a close reading of the …
