Wearing Memories: Clothing And The Global Lives Of Mourning In Swaziland, Casey Golomski Sep 2015

Wearing Memories: Clothing And The Global Lives Of Mourning In Swaziland, Casey Golomski

Anthropology

This article situates a cultural phenomenon of women’s memory work through clothing in Swaziland. It explores clothing as both action and object of everyday, personalized practice that constitutes psychosocial well-being and material proximities between the living and the dead, namely, in how clothing of the deceased is privately possessed and ritually manipulated by the bereaved. While human and spiritual self-other relations are produced through clothing and its material efficacy, current global ideologies of immaterial mortuary ritual associated with Pentecostalism have emerged as contraries to this local, intersubjective grief work. This article describes how such contrarian ideologies paper over existing global …


The Effects Of Social Media: Is It Hurting College Students?, Megan Landry Sep 2015

The Effects Of Social Media: Is It Hurting College Students?, Megan Landry

Perspectives

This study evaluates the relationship between how frequently college students’ access social media sites in class, and their GPA. Our class sent out an electronic survey and had 264 respondents, including men, women and transgender individuals. The results of the survey demonstrated that students who accessed social media sites during class often had lower grade point averages than students who never visited social media sites in class. The response rate was adequate, but future studies require an even larger sample in order for the results to be applicable to the general university population.


The Impact Of Marital Discord On College Students In Relation To Future Emotional Wellbeing And Academic Achievements, Kerri Schulz Sep 2015

The Impact Of Marital Discord On College Students In Relation To Future Emotional Wellbeing And Academic Achievements, Kerri Schulz

Perspectives

Several studies have been published discussing the repercussions of marital discord relative to the future wellbeing of children. However, few studies have specifically addressed the potential effect that marital discord could have on the emotional wellbeing and academic achievements of children into their adult lives. This study uses data collected from a sample of undergraduate students (ages 18-22) attending the University of New Hampshire. This study failed to identify a correlation between marital discord and the future wellbeing of children, emotionally and academically, within the sample of undergraduate students. Further research including a larger and more representative sample size has …


Development Of A Novel Observational Measure For Anxiety In Young Children: The Anxiety Dimensional Observation Scale, Nicholas D. Mian, Alice S. Carter, Daniel S. Pine, Lauren S. Wakschlag, Margaret Briggs-Gowan Sep 2015

Development Of A Novel Observational Measure For Anxiety In Young Children: The Anxiety Dimensional Observation Scale, Nicholas D. Mian, Alice S. Carter, Daniel S. Pine, Lauren S. Wakschlag, Margaret Briggs-Gowan

Life Sciences Faculty Scholarship

Background Identifying anxiety disorders in preschool-age children represents an important clinical challenge. Observation is essential to clinical assessment and can help differentiate normative variation from clinically significant anxiety. Yet, most anxiety assessment methods for young children rely on parent-reports. The goal of this article is to present and preliminarily test the reliability and validity of a novel observational paradigm for assessing a range of fearful and anxious behaviors in young children, the Anxiety Dimensional Observation Schedule (Anx-DOS). Methods A diverse sample of 403 children, aged 3 to 6 years, and their mothers was studied. Reliability and validity in relation to …

Conservative And Liberal Views Of Science, Does Trust Depend On Topic?, Lawrence C. Hamilton Sep 2015

Conservative And Liberal Views Of Science, Does Trust Depend On Topic?, Lawrence C. Hamilton

Carsey Publications

Conservative distrust of scientists regarding climate change and evolution has been widely expressed in public pronouncements and surveys, contributing to impressions that conservatives are less likely to trust scientists in general. But what about other topics, where some liberals have expressed misgivings too? Nuclear power safety, vaccinations, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are three widely mentioned examples. For this report, five similarly worded survey questions were designed to test the hypothesis that, depending on the issue, liberals are just as likely to reject science as conservatives. The five questions were included along with many unrelated items in telephone surveys of …

Trust In Scientists On Climate Change And Vaccines, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Joel N. Hartter, Kei Saito Jul 2015

Trust In Scientists On Climate Change And Vaccines, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Joel N. Hartter, Kei Saito

Sociology

On climate change and other topics, conservatives have taken positions at odds with a strong scientific consensus. Claims that this indicates a broad conservative distrust of science have been countered by assertions that while conservatives might oppose the scientific consensus on climate change or evolution, liberals oppose scientists on some other domains such as vaccines. Evidence for disproportionately liberal bias against science on vaccines has been largely anecdotal, however. Here, we test this proposition of opposite biases using 2014 survey data from Oregon and New Hampshire. Across vaccine as well as climate change questions on each of these two surveys, …

Polar Facts In The Age Of Polarization, Lawrence C. Hamilton Jun 2015

Polar Facts In The Age Of Polarization, Lawrence C. Hamilton

Sociology

Many drivers of polar-region change originate in mid-latitude industrial societies, so public perceptions there matter. Building on earlier surveys of US public knowledge and concern, a series of New Hampshire state surveys over 2011–2015 tracked public knowledge of some basic polar facts. Analysis indicates that these facts subjectively fall into two categories: those that are or are not directly connected to beliefs about climate change. Responses to climate-linked factual questions, such as whether Arctic sea ice area has declined compared with 30 years ago, are politicized as if we were asking for climate-change opinions. Political divisions are less apparent with …

The Personality Systems Framework: Current Theory And Development, John D. Mayer Jun 2015

The Personality Systems Framework: Current Theory And Development, John D. Mayer

Psychology

The personality systems framework is a fieldwide outline for organizing the contemporary science of personality. I examine the theoretical impact of systems thinking on the discipline and, drawing on ideas from general systems theory, argue that personality psychologists understand individuals’ personalities by studying four topics: (a) personality’s definition, (b) personality’s parts (e.g., traits, schemas, etc.), (c) its organization and (d) development. This framework draws on theories from the field to create a global view of personality including its position and major areas of function. The global view gives rise to new theories such as personal intelligence—the idea that people guide …

Collaborative Reference: Mcquade Library’S Research Center, Lyena Chavez, Catherine Wong, Elizabeth Sarkodie-Mensah, Michaela Keating

Faculty Publications

Although reference has gone high-tech, students seeking high-touch reference assistance still travel to a destination -- whether it’s a reference desk, a librarian’s office, a reference room, or a center. Thus, libraries are challenged to design reference spaces in which librarians are visible to students and are well-positioned to partner with students to engage in active research, from quick “show and go” questions to more in-depth reference consultations. This poster discusses how and why McQuade Library at Merrimack College embraced a Research Center model that creates a positive reference user experience for students and places collaboration --both among librarians and …
