Voices Of Hope, Mildred M. Pearson Dr.

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

Using the self-efficacy literature as a theoretical framework, this article discusses the reality of academic achievement and academic performance among selected African American middle school girls.

Thirty-seven African American middle school girls filled out an adversity questionnaire and also responded to the Children’s Self-efficacy Survey.

Analysis Of Citations In Undergraduate Papers, Stacey Knight-Davis, Jan S. Sung

Faculty & Staff Research & Creative Activity

This paper presents the findings of a citation analysis of papers written by undergraduate students. The analysis included the types of materials cited, number of citations per paper, publication year, online availability, and refereed status of materials cited. Library ownership of materials was also analyzed. Number of citations in each paper increased over the first three papers, as did the number of refereed journals cited. There was also a positive correlation between the number of citations in the paper and the word count of the paper.


College Student Disaster Preparedness, William Lovekamp, Michelle Tate Aug 2008

College Student Disaster Preparedness, William Lovekamp, Michelle Tate

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

This research examines college students’ perceived risk of tornados and earthquakes affecting their college residence and community, fear, perceived levels of disaster preparedness and preparedness actions at a Midwestern university. Using questionnaires, we collected a sample of 192 college students from a variety of majors and class ranks. We conclude that these students do know the potential likelihood and risks of tornados and earthquakes, perceive that they are prepared for tornados but not for earthquakes, and do not take many of the appropriate actions to prepare themselves.
