Vermonters Divided On Holiday Greeting; More Likely To Have Real Christmas Tree 12/20/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

A slightly larger proportion of Vermonters will have a real Christmas tree rather than an artificial tree this year, while a quarter won't have any tree. Those who prefer a real tree often cite tradition or a better look or smell, those who prefer an artificial tree mention less work or cost, and those who won't have a tree at all often say it is because they won't be home or because they do not celebrate Christmas. Vermonters are equally divided on their preferred holiday greeting, with Democrats favoring "Happy Holidays" and Republicans and Independents using "Merry Christmas" more often.

Contextualizing Singlehood Among Young Adults: Exploring The Meanings And Perceived Reasons For Being Single, Jonathon J. Beckmeyer, Tyler B. Jamison

Faculty Publications

Objective: We explored how young adults discussed their experiences with singlehood and their reasons for being single.

Background: Despite singlehood being normative during young adulthood, less research has focused on the diversity of singlehood compared to that of romantic involvement.

Method: In Study 1, 35 young adults participated in in-depth qualitative interviews about their romantic histories. We explored singlehood meanings and reasons in the context of their relationship histories. In Study 2 we used data from 155 single young adults to explore the factor structure, internal reliability, and initial validity of the Reasons for Being Single (RBS) scale, which we …

Telehealth In The Wake Of Covid-19: The Impact Of Telehealth Expansion On Healthcare Access, Utilization, And Outcomes, Deirdre Ann Colburn

Doctoral Dissertations

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented change to the healthcare industry, including a large and rapid shift to providing care through telehealth technologies. Though the expansion of telehealth services was successful in continuing to provide patients with care while preventing the spread of disease, it is less clear how patient sociodemographic characteristics influenced telehealth use during this time. Similarly, less is known about how or if state-level parity laws influenced rates of individual-level telehealth utilization. To address these areas of research, this dissertation does three things. First, I conducted a systematic review of the literature on demographic disparities in telehealth access, …

Interpreting Parenting Plans As Contracts, William B. Reingold Jr.

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

When parents are divorced or separated, a parenting plan serves as a legal instrument to govern the means by which they raise their children. Most parents are able to compromise and reach an agreed-upon parenting plan without resorting to a trial or court intervention. These agreed-upon parenting plans are, in a manner of speaking, contracts that these parents must abide by. But too often parenting plans are not treated or considered in the same way we perceive ordinary contracts. They should be. This essay examines the interplay between courts reviewing agreed-upon plans, the best interest standard, and basic contract interpretation.

Little Appetite For Increased Support For Israel; Most See Antisemitism As A Serious Problem 11/30/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Amid calls for increased aid, few Granite Staters feel the United States is not doing enough to support Israel.

Four in five state residents feel that antisemitism is a serious problem in the U.S. while a smaller majority see Islamophobia as a serious problem.

Biden Ahead In Nh Primary Despite Tepid Support, Not Appearing On Ballot 11/17/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Despite the fact he will not appear on the January 23rd ballot, nearly two-thirds of likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire say they plan to write-in President Joe Biden. Only a quarter of likely Democratic primary voters say they would be enthusiastic if Biden is the nominee, but Biden's rivals currently present little threat as author Marianne Williamson is unpopular and few know much about Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips or expect him to become a serious contender. Granite Staters largely view Biden unfavorably and disapprove of his performance as president, but former President Trump is even more unpopular and …

The Crusading Days Of Jackie Stewart: Evaluating The Development Of Safety In Motor Racing During The 1960s., Alex Twitchen

Journal of Motorsport Culture & History

This article critically evaluates the contribution of Jackie Stewart in making motor racing a safer sport for competitors. It challenges the validity of the popular assumption that Jackie Stewart by himself developed a ‘culture of safety’ that transformed the sport. Instead, the role of other individuals are identified alongside the importance of three social processes. These processes are identified as the changing balance of power between different masculine identities, the development of commercial sponsorship and a growth in the coverage of the sport on television.

The development of motor racing from the 1960s onwards as a safer sport in which …

Vermonters are divided in their assessment of President Joe Biden's handling of the conflict but are more positive in their assessment of his overall foreign policy.

Majority In Maine Plan To Vote No On Question 3, Yes On Question 4; Uncertainty Reigns Over Questions 5-8 10/25/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

With only a few weeks remaining before Maine's 2023 Referendum election, Mainers appear set to reject Question 3, which proposes to create a publicly-owned utility, the Pine Tree Power Company. Majorities support Question 4 on automotive right to repair and Question 2, which concerns campaign finance and corruption. A smaller majority support Question 1, a measure some argue is designed to make Question 3 difficult to implement if it were to pass. Few Mainers say they have heard much or have a solid understanding of Questions 5 through 8, with many indicating that they are unsure how they will vote …
