How Do College Students Justify Their Deviant Behavior?, Ryleigh Haynes

SCSU Journal of Student Scholarship

The goal of my project is to determine how college students justify their deviant behavior. I used a convenient sample of college students for my survey. Students were asked to report on past actions that they have engaged in and explain their reasoning behind why they did it. Previous research indicates that people are more likely to engage in deviant behavior if they can neutralize the guilt from committing the action or if they make it appear normal. The student responses will be compared to nine common neutralization techniques. My presentation will share the results of this study.

Culminating Projects in Community Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy

This study examined the effectiveness of higher education services for Dreamers using a mixed-method design to support the idea that current services provided by Augsburg University are not effective for Dreamers and that there is a need to improve or cater services to accommodate Dreamers attending the institution. The study included a total of 16 self-identified Latinx, undergraduate students who are non-citizens of …

Personal Experiences Of Latin American Students With Limited Or Interrupted Formal Education, Kelli Straley

Culminating Projects in English

The United States and countries around the world are experiencing a growth of students who have recently arrived with limited or no formal education and minimal or no literacy skills, yet are enrolling in secondary level classrooms due to age. Many of the students arrive from Central American countries with difficult social and economic situations, and therefore have minimal literacy in Spanish and little to no exposure to English (Tellez & Walker de Felix, 1993). The term SLIFE, or students with limited or interrupted formal education, defines these students by the quantity of education, but factors such as educational and …
