Most Nh Parents Comfortable Sending Children To School In Fall Despite Covid-19 But No Consensus How 6/26/2020, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Two-thirds of parents and guardians of K-12 students in New Hampshire are comfortable sending their children back to school in the fall despite the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Granite Staters are divided on how to open schools; about half favor keeping children in one classroom for the whole school day while four in ten favor reopening schools as usual with no additional precautions. Four in ten residents have worked from home at least some of the time due to COVID-19 and half would work from home permanently if the option were available.

I’Ll Be Dammed! Public Preferences Regarding Dam Removal In New Hampshire (Pre-Print), Natallia Leuchanka Diessner, Catherine Ashcraft, Kevin H. Gardner, Lawrence C. Hamilton

New Hampshire EPSCoR

Decisions about dams, like other environmental conflicts, involve complex tradeoffs between different water uses with varying human and ecological impacts, have significant impacts on public resources and involve many stakeholders with diverse and often conflicting interests. Given the many upcoming dam decisions in New England and across the United States of America, an improved understanding of public preferences about dam decisions is needed to steward resources in the public interest. This research asks (1) What does the public want to see happen with dams?, and (2) Do demographic factors influence public preferences for dam decisions? This paper analyzes data from …

Widespread Support In Nh For Absentee Voting Due To Covid-19; One-Third Prefer To Vote Absentee In November 6/25/2020, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Nearly two-thirds of New Hampshire residents support being able to vote using an absentee ballot due to concerns about COVID-19. One-third of likely voters in the November general election say that they would prefer to vote using an absentee ballot rather than voting in-person. Democrats are far more likely than Republicans to support being able to choose to vote absentee. A slim majority believe voter fraud is a very or somewhat serious problem in the country, but fewer residents believe it is a serious problem in New Hampshire and most in the state are confident their vote will be counted …

Granite Staters Disapprove Of Trump's Handling Of Covid-19 6/25/2020, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Nearly two-thirds of New Hampshire residents disapprove of President Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, representing the highest disapproval of Trump's handling of the pandemic since it began. While three-quarters of Republicans still approve of his handling of COVID-19, virtually no Democrats do. Approval among Republicans has declined every month since March. Confidence in the federal government's ability to respond effectively to the COVID-19 situation and trust in science agencies such as the CDC are largely unchanged since May.

Most Nh Republicans But Few Democrats Currently Comfortable With Public Activities In Light Of Covid-19 6/24/2020, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

New Hampshire residents are more comfortable than in May with participating in public activities, but levels of comfort differ dramatically based on partisanship. Majorities of Republicans say they are currently comfortable going to large-scale athletic competitions, political rallies, and concerts, while nearly half of Democrats say they will not be comfortable going to these events until 2021 at the earliest. Approval of Governor Sununu's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has declined slightly among both Democrats and Republicans but remains high and most are confident in the state government's ability to respond effectively to the crisis. Concern about oneself or a …

Resilience Within And Resilience Without: Mindfulness And Sustainability Programming Using An Embedded Engineering Librarian Approach, Catherine Wong, Cynthia Helen Carlson

Faculty Publications

An increasing number of students are suffering from anxiety, even before the added stress of college life. Meanwhile, the media bombards students with images of impending doom about the climate crisis and environmental collapse, potentially increasing the sense of helplessness, fear, or anger. Fostering a sense of personal and environmental resilience through contemplative practices and engagement with sustainability topics in and out of the classroom was the goal of this librarian and professor collaborative team. The team created a culture of awareness for both sustainability and mindfulness via an in-class embedded librarian model, and out of class programming over a …

Sexual Harassment In Professional Settings Among College Students And Adults, Kaitlyn Sawler, Angel Brady

Perspectives

This paper looks at sexual harassment in the workplace, comparing nationwide General Social Survey data, Carsey School of Public Policy New Hampshire data, and the data from our study of UNH Durham students. Sexual harassment is being reported in high numbers across society leading to numerous negative impacts on a person’s physical and mental well-being. We hypothesize that participants in our study will experience sexual harassment less than participants in the nation and state-wide studies. We also hypothesized that female participants from our sample will have higher reportings of experiencing sexual harassment than the male participants. Using convenience sampling, participants …

Identifying A Typology Of Emerging Adult Romantic Relationships: Implications For Relationship Education, Jonathon J. Beckmeyer, Tyler B. Jamison

Faculty Publications

Objective: Our objective was to use multiple romantic relationship dimensions to identify a typology of emerging adult romantic relationships.

Background: Emerging adult romantic relationships vary in terms of their relational dynamics, emotional and physical intimacy, and commitment.

Method: Using data from 396 romantically involved but unmarried emerging adults, we used cluster analysis to identify a typology of romantic relationships based on relational dynamics (i.e., warmth and support and negative interactions), relationship duration, consolidation (i.e., …
