Emilia Daijah Intersectional Humor Spsp 2019-4.Pptx, Daijah Jones, Emilia F. Meza Apr 2019

Emilia Daijah Intersectional Humor Spsp 2019-4.Pptx, Daijah Jones, Emilia F. Meza

Daijah Jones

Humor is a major part of our interactions with other people. Despite humor’s simple purpose to amuse, there are several cognitive processes at work when trying to understand it. When looking at disparaging humor, prejudiced norm theory suggests disparaging humor creates an atmosphere where prejudice is deemed more acceptable, which then leads to more tolerance for discrimination.  Our research examined people’s perceptions of intersectional (i.e., relating to racial and gender) stereotype-based humor using starter pack memes. Starter packs are a collection of stereotypic images meant to identify and define a group.We manipulated the identity targeted by these starter packs …

Cognitive Processing Of Time In Language By Non-Native Readers: Can Explicit Teaching Promote Interlanguage Development?, Andreas Schramm, Verena Haser, Michael Mensink, Jonas Reifenrath Jul 2017

Cognitive Processing Of Time In Language By Non-Native Readers: Can Explicit Teaching Promote Interlanguage Development?, Andreas Schramm, Verena Haser, Michael Mensink, Jonas Reifenrath

Andreas Schramm

Every English sentence requires a verb containing information about time. This in turn makes the temporal meanings that verbs carry crucial. The current study is part of a larger research interest into the nature of cognitive processing of time in language by native and non-native readers of English (Becker, Ferretti, & Madden_Lombardi, 2013; Schramm & Mensink, in press). It explores the acquisition of temporal meanings by adult non-native speakers of English.  It specifically addresses the natural progression in learners’ development of the comprehension of time concepts (not only of their production) and whether instruction can change the rate of this …

Presentation At The American Psychology-Law Society (March 2016) Mar 2016

Presentation At The American Psychology-Law Society (March 2016)

Scott

Aversive racists are described as people motivated to act in ways consistent with their egalitarian beliefs and will not discriminate if race is made salient, whereas modern racists are expected to discriminate when they can justify their behavior through the conservative values they endorse. Although researchers have distinguished between these two profiles, we do not know whether they differ in their decision making in a juror context. Participants (N=304) read a crime scenario where defendant race, race salience, and justification of the defendant’s actions were manipulated. Results indicate differing patterns of bias among modern and aversive racists.  Implications …

Religiosidad Y Felicidad En Alumnos Universitarios: ¿Es Mejor Trabajar Con Los Ancianos?, T. L. Brink Oct 2015

Religiosidad Y Felicidad En Alumnos Universitarios: ¿Es Mejor Trabajar Con Los Ancianos?, T. L. Brink

T. L. Brink

Reports on self-estimated life satisfaction and religiosity (present and future projected) in different populations of Mexican university students. Student levels of life satisfaction were comparable to the national norms (Mitofsky) but were lower than the national norms for religiosity. Unlike in the U.S., there was no correlation between religiosity and life satisfaction. Students in a gerontology program showed higher levels of religiosity than those in another university.

Juvenile Delinquency And Violence: Examining International Police And Societal Response, Gordon A. Crews, Angela West Crews Dec 2012

Juvenile Delinquency And Violence: Examining International Police And Societal Response, Gordon A. Crews, Angela West Crews

Angela Crews

This presentation comparatively examines relationships in the United States, Eastern and Central Europe, Scandinavia, and parts of the Middle East among juvenile violence, "heavy metal" music, substance abuse, and participation in occult and "alternative" youth groups (e.g., Wicca, Satanism, vampirism, Goth). We trace the movement of certain groups, behaviors, and preferences and make a correlation between some of these movements and an increase in youth violence and substance abuse. The authors use results from surveys and participant observations in the U.S., Copenhagen, Germany, the Netherlands, & the Middle East (Egypt & Turkey) that indicate, however, that mere participation in these …

Using Technology And Online Counseling: The Future Is Now, Oscar T. Mcknight, Gregory Pollock, Kerri Carmichael Nov 2012

Using Technology And Online Counseling: The Future Is Now, Oscar T. Mcknight, Gregory Pollock, Kerri Carmichael

Oscar T McKnight Ph.D.

This research addresses how technology is transforming the world; specifically, how we live, communicate and interact. Two questions posed for counselors: first, should counselors avoid, minimize, maximize or embrace the online environment; and second, how does on-line counseling fit within the profession. In addition, reviewed are professional standards, certifications and in-practice issues. Findings suggest that counselors should embrace new technologies and assess best-practice protocols.


Awareness During Narrative Comprehension And Potential Acquisition Of Aspectual Meanings By Non-Native English Speakers, Andreas Schramm Jun 2012

Awareness During Narrative Comprehension And Potential Acquisition Of Aspectual Meanings By Non-Native English Speakers, Andreas Schramm

Andreas Schramm

In second language acquisition there has been sustained interest in input processing and the role of cognitive resources. Much of it has been on form within meaningful context, not semantic meanings. This study investigates cognitive resources readers employ during comprehension and potential acquisition of aspectual meanings and their pragmatic use in narratives. Data from 24 college age non-native English speakers on the cognitive status of semantic content is examined to determine whether awareness occurred in STM and intake during inferencing in STM and LTM. Questions are discussed whether aspect had been acquired before or reading triggered awareness and incidental intake.

Basic Emotions And Early-Learned Verbs, Josita Maouene, Megumi Kuwabara, Daniel Freer, Linda B. Smith Mar 2011

Basic Emotions And Early-Learned Verbs, Josita Maouene, Megumi Kuwabara, Daniel Freer, Linda B. Smith

Dr. Josita C Maouene

The purpose of this study is to describe the relationships between 102 early-learned verbs and five basic emotions in 60 children raging from 2 to 6 years of age (min 32 mo, max 72 mo). While previous research centering on the embodiment perspective has investigated such components as body parts in verb meaning (Maouene, Hidaka & Smith, 2008), this study seeks to add basic emotions to the core meaning of verbs. At a threshold of 50% agreement, the results indicate a tie: 47.6% of the verbs were related to one main emotion and 49.5% to a pair of emotions. Within …

The New Millennium And Online Counseling: Ecological Practice, Concerns And Discussion, Oscar T. Mcknight

Oscar T McKnight Ph.D.

For counselors, the ecosystem is vast and encompassing; and professionals must understand the client in both context and time. This in and of itself is a daunting task; now, enter the New Millennium and on-line counseling. The Web is the poster child of interconnectivedness and interdependence of systems; however, is the Web bringing us closer or further apart? The Web is transforming society and potentially the ecological context of counseling. A review is necessary.

Awareness And Conditioning: Who Becomes Aware (Poster), Thomas M. Cavanagh, Chistopher G. Courtney, Louise D. Cosand, Anthony J. Rissling, Michael E. Dawson, Anne M. Schell

Thomas M. Cavanagh

Embedding CS-UCS pairings within distracting tasks can prevent most college student participants from becoming aware of the CS-UCS contingency.

Although there are some exceptions (see adjacent poster), under most conditions, these unaware participants do not show successful conditioning.

Nevertheless, some subjects become aware despite the distracting task, and do show conditioning.
