Children’S Social Judgments Of Others On The Basis Of Dialect-Specific Vocabulary, Madison Myers-Burg
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Many studies suggest that young children prefer speakers who speak similarly to them.

The current study investigated potential motivations behind young children’s preferences for familiar dialect-specific vocabulary. Fifty participants ages fifty-one months to ninety-five months (Mage =72.6 months) viewed an animated …

The Relationship Of Leadership Styles, Context, And Outcomes, Max A. Anawalt
CMC Senior Theses
New and experienced leaders sometimes underestimate the importance of the follower and context in their ability to be effective and successful in the long term.

In theory, every leader should benefit from a greater understanding of the evolving study and theory of leadership …
