Biden, Trump Running Away With Primary Races In Vermont 2/22/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Less than two weeks away from the primary on Super Tuesday, former President Donald Trump holds a 30 percentage point lead over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley among likely Republican Primary voters in Vermont. President Joe Biden holds an even larger lead over Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, though relatively few Democratic primary voters would be enthusiastic if Biden is the party's nominee. Vermonters rate Biden more highly than Trump on several characteristics. Biden's biggest strengths according to Vermont residents are his honesty, integrity, and temperament, though many rate his mental and physical fitness poorly.

All UNH Survey Center Polls

The 2024 Maine Presidential Primary is less than two weeks away and more than three-quarters of likely Republican primary voters support former President Donald Trump. President Joe Biden holds an even larger lead on the Democratic side, but likely Democratic voters are less enthusiastic about him becoming the party's nominee. When asked to rate several characteristics of Biden and Trump, majorities rate Biden's temperament, honesty, and integrity more highly than Trump's, but a plurality believe Trump has better mental and physical stamina.

Granite Staters Are More Optimistic About Economy But Don't Feel Improving Inflation 2/21/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Granite Staters' perceptions of the U.S. economy and their personal financial condition have improved somewhat over the past year but remain low. Inflation continues to be seen as a serious problem, and nearly half of those who expect to be worse off in a year cite inflation or the cost of living as the reason. Partisanship continues to play a large part in Granite Staters' perceptions of the economy.

Nh Primary: Easy To Vote And Accurately Counted, Support For First-In-The-Nation Amendment 2/20/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Voters in the 2024 New Hampshire presidential primary overwhelmingly think it was very easy to vote and two-thirds are very confident that their vote was accurately counted. Less than a quarter of Granite Staters feel that voter fraud is a serious problem in the state but nearly half feel it is a serious problem in the United States overall. Two-thirds of New Hampshire residents support the state law requiring the New Hampshire primary to be first in the nation and a small majority support a constitutional amendment requiring the New Hampshire primary to be first.


Examining The Evolution Of Network Governance Forms Of An Event Leveraging Collective: A Longitudinal Investigation, Landy Lu, Ran Zhou, Guangzhou Chen, Laura Misener Feb 2024

Examining The Evolution Of Network Governance Forms Of An Event Leveraging Collective: A Longitudinal Investigation, Landy Lu, Ran Zhou, Guangzhou Chen, Laura Misener

Faculty Publications

This study aims to investigate how an event leveraging collective’s network governance forms evolved from pre- to post‐Games and how these forms influenced members' collaborative engagement. We adopted a longitudinal qualitative case study approach. Our primary data sources included 996 pages of archival documents and 18 interviews with collective members. We found that in the pre- and during-Games stage, the leveraging collective adopted a shared participant-governed form with a facilitator. This participant-driven structure could enhance connectedness and collaborative engagement among member organizations. In the postevent phase, the collective assumed a pillar-governed form with a facilitator. Although this structure appeared to …

Racialized Early Grade (Mis)Behavior: The Links Between Same-Race/Ethnicity Teachers And Discipline In Elementary School, Nayoung Hwang, Patrick Graff, Mark Berends Feb 2024

Racialized Early Grade (Mis)Behavior: The Links Between Same-Race/Ethnicity Teachers And Discipline In Elementary School, Nayoung Hwang, Patrick Graff, Mark Berends

Faculty Publications

Studies persistently show disparities in exclusionary discipline across racial/ethnic groups in U.S. schools. Using administrative data from kindergarteners through fifth graders in Indiana, we examine the effects of student-teacher race/ethnicity matching on disciplinary outcomes. We find that Black students exhibit lower rates of suspension and expulsion when they study with Black teachers—driven mainly by fewer defiance and profanity offenses. By contrast, for Latinx and White students, having a teacher of the same race/ethnicity is not associated with suspension and expulsion. In light of the shortage of Black teachers in the teacher workforce, our findings underscore the vulnerability of Black students …


On Personality Measures And Their Data: A Classification Of Measurement Approaches And Their Recommended Uses, John D. Mayer, Victoria M. Bryan Feb 2024

On Personality Measures And Their Data: A Classification Of Measurement Approaches And Their Recommended Uses, John D. Mayer, Victoria M. Bryan

Faculty Publications

We employ a new approach for classifying methods of personality measurement such as self-judgment, mental ability, and lifespace measures and the data they produce. We divide these measures into two fundamental groups: personal-source data, which arise from the target person’s own reports, and external-source data, which derive from the areas surrounding the person. These two broad classes are then further divided according to what they target and the response processes that produce them. We use the model to organize roughly a dozen kinds of data currently employed in the field. With this classification system in hand, we …

Biden Comfortable In Nh Dem Primary Despite Anger From Young Voters 1/21/2024, Unh Survey Center Jan 2024

Biden Comfortable In Nh Dem Primary Despite Anger From Young Voters 1/21/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

President Joe Biden is heading to victory as a write-in candidate in New Hampshire. Aspiring contenders Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson remain unknown and unpopular in the state. However, Biden fares poorly among self-described socialists and those under thirty-five, many of whom say they would be angry if Biden becomes the nominee. A sign of trouble for November is that less than half of Democratic primary voters think Biden is the party's best hope to win the general election, although there is no consensus about an alternative candidate.

Trump Leads Haley In Final Cnn/Unh New Hampshire Primary Poll 1/21/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Former President Donald Trump leads former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley by 11 percentage points in New Hampshire’s first in the nation presidential primary. Haley holds a significant lead among undeclared (“independent”) voters, but this is not likely to lead to a Haley victory as Trump holds a wider lead among registered Republicans. Immigration is the most important issue to GOP primary voters.

Negotiating Belonging: Social Class Identity And The Lived Experiences Of First-Generation College Students, Sarah Grace Barba Jan 2024

Negotiating Belonging: Social Class Identity And The Lived Experiences Of First-Generation College Students, Sarah Grace Barba

Spectrum

In the United States, social class comprises economic, social, and cultural capital but is more commonly associated with economic capital (wealth). In higher education, social class is more visible to first-generation students because they come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. For first-generation students, education is a ladder to a higher social class. However, research shows that it is challenging for first-generation to achieve this in a dominant middle-class environment in college because of the shock of differences between themselves and their peers, resulting in feelings of not belonging in their campus environment. First-generation students are more likely to arrive unprepared for …

Women In Leadership Positions In Higher Education: Challenges, Opportunities, And Strategies For Success, Maria Bowen

M.S. in Leadership

This research project is aimed to identify the challenges and barriers women face in higher education while striving to obtain leadership positions and provide possible solutions to resolve the gender gaps found in higher education’s leadership. A literature review was conducted, which informed questions that were asked in an interview setting. Interviews were conducted with leaders that identify as women in higher education and sought to provide personalized accounts of the researched trends. Ultimately, despite higher education being perceived as a progressive industry and having legislature in place to combat gender disparities, leadership positions are not reflective of gender distribution …

Leading A Multi-Generational Workforce, Samuel B. Mellert Jan 2024

Leading A Multi-Generational Workforce, Samuel B. Mellert

M.S. in Leadership

Retention of employees and cross-generational conflict are issues that have gained tremendous attention in the past five years and can negatively or positively impact organizations of all sizes and within all industries. Literature suggests that the formative events, values, and needs from employers of the different generational cohorts currently comprising the workforce are widely varying. As such, a “one size fits all” approach to leadership, human resources, and organizational policies with regard to retention and motivation will no longer suffice. This research project investigated the literature about the generational cohorts and how they got here, what they believe in, and …

The Expansion Of Language Interpretation Services Post-Executive Order 13166: Effects On Maternal And Fetal Outcomes Of Non-English-Speaking Patients, Lilly Annabelle Smith

Honors Theses and Capstones

Over 69 million people older than the age of 5 in the U.S. speak a language other than English at home (U.S. Census, 2022). Of this population, around 38% report speaking English less than "very well" or limited English proficiency, “LEP”. Research has shown patient-provider communication quality in healthcare settings to be directly linked to the provider's ability to deliver safe and suitable care for LEP patients (Au et al., 2009). Executive Order (EO) 13166, signed into law in 2000, requires all federal agencies to implement and document language interpretation services in their establishments (Basu et al., 2017). LEP mothers …

Burning Issues: An Analysis Of Penguin Random House's ‘The Unburnable Book' Campaign, Jacqueline Law

Comm-entary

This essay delves into the intricacies of a public relations endeavor launched by Penguin Random House LLC in collaboration with renowned author Margaret Atwood. The campaign, known as “The Unburnable Book,” aimed to spotlight the rising prevalence of book banning and censorship in America while supporting PEN America's mission to safeguard free speech. Through the creation and auction of a fireproof edition of Atwood’s iconic novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Penguin Random House supported its own corporate social responsibility initiatives as well as its mission and values. This analysis provides a comprehensive examination of the campaign's conception, execution, and impact, shedding …
