Objectification Of Same-Sex And Opposite-Sex Individuals, Simona Mackovichova
Augsburg Honors Review
The objectifying gaze refers to the tendency to focus on one's sexual body parts, thereby reducing the target of the objectifying gaze to a mere object. This tendency has been shown to be more prevalent among men and directed frequently towards women. The present study investigated the gender differences in male and female gaze patterns towards same-sex and opposite-sex models. It was predicted that (1) males would attend to bodies of all models more than females, (2) the body regions of the female targets would be focused on more than the body regions of male targets, especially by male participants, …

Cognitive dissonance has also proved useful in creating new ways to treat various mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. The success of this type of therapy implies that there may be a stronger connection between these two topics that are often discussed apart from each other. This paper will …

The Heterogeneity And Wide Range Of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Nikki Johnson
Augsburg Honors Review
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most prevalent childhood neurological disorders in the US (Pinel et a1.,2011). Individuals with this disorder experience a varying degree of lower capacity for social interaction and communication. There are two important characteristics of ASD, its heterogeneity and its range of disorders on a wide spectrum, which must be kept in mind as research is performed on this topic. This complexity of ASD and its large amount of individual variation, based on the intensity, behaviors, and types of disorders a person has, makes it difficult to uncover the pathophysiology of these neurological disorders. …
