When People Estimate Their Personal Intelligence Who Is Overconfident? Who Is Accurate?, John D. Mayer, A. T. Panter, David R. Caruso

UNH Personality Lab

Objective

We explore accurate self-knowledge versus overconfidence in personal intelligence—a “broad” intelligence about personality. The theory of personal intelligence proposes that people vary in their ability to understand the traits, goals, plans, and actions of themselves and others. We wondered who accurately knew that they were higher in personal intelligence and who did not, and whether individuals with more accurate estimates were distinguishable from others in their psychological characteristics.

Method

Three archival data sets were identified that included both self-estimates and objective measures of personal intelligence: The measures were the Self-Estimated Personal Intelligence scale (SEPI) and the Test of Personal …

Exploring Communicative Adaptations Of Minority Status Individuals: An Overview Of Code Switching Literature, Angelique Georges

Perspectives

The literature review provides an overview of the development of code switches, or the event in which one changes from a non-native language to a native language, in the field of sociology. Previous sociological studies largely explored the topic of code switch, as it related to how language impacts different minority groups, such as African Americans/Blacks, Latinx, and/or Asian individuals, in terms of employment and education opportunities. In general, treatment among minority status individuals were unequal and the literature mostly focused on the listener’s perspective. Thereupon, this literature review seeks to focus on the importance of studying the speaker’s perspective, …

Effects Of Parental Incarceration On Children’S Mental Health And Educational Success By Race And Gender, Julia Stergas

Perspectives

This literature review will evaluate the extent to which parental incarceration impacts children’s mental health and educational success and how these effects differ by race and gender. An introductory section will be followed by definitions of mental health, educational success, race, and gender as they appear in the literature. My discussion on mental health will focus on how parental incarceration places children at greater risk for poor mental health outcomes and how young boys and girls exhibit different mental health problems after experiencing parental incarceration. My discussion on educational success will focus on how parental incarceration is associated with children’s …

Effects Of Socioeconomic Status And Race On Access To Healthcare In The United States, Madeline Ohlson

Perspectives

This literature review discusses the effects of an individual or community’s socioeconomic status and race on their access to healthcare in the United States as important and controversial. Health issues affect all Americans, yet inequalities still exist in the healthcare system. Aspects of socioeconomic status and race are prevalent factors in many social problems, especially in their significant influence on access to, quality of, and availability of healthcare that a person receives. The reviewed studies discuss how social stratification regarding socioeconomic status and race lead to disparities in the field of healthcare when discussing the quality of care, health insurance, …

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. Understanding the diversity in emerging adult romantic relationships is crucial for developing effective relationship education for emerging adults as they make decisions about their romantic partnerships.

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., …

When To Make The Sensory Social: Registering In Face-To-Face Openings, Danielle M. Pillet-Shore

Faculty Publications

This article analyzes naturally occurring video-recorded openings during which participants make the sensory social through the action of registering—calling joint attention to a selected, publicly perceiv- able referent so others shift their sensory attention to it. It examines sequence-initial actions that register referents for which a participant is regarded as responsible. Findings demonstrate a systematic preference organization which observably guides when and how people initiate registering sequences sensitive to ownership of, and displayed stance toward, the target referent. Analysis shows how registering an owned referent achieves intersubjectivity and puts involved participants’ face, affiliation, and social relationship on the line. A …

Technical Report For “When People Estimate Their Personal Intelligence Who Is Overconfident? Who Is Accurate?”, John D. Mayer, A. T. Panter, David R. Caruso

UNH Personality Lab

The Technical Supplement includes additional information about the article “Who Believes they are High in Personal Intelligence.” The Supplement is organized such that material follows the organization of the article, with the exception that group-wise analyses—i.e., analyses based on median splits of the archival samples on the Test of Personal Intelligence and Self-Estimated Personal Intelligence, are in their own Appendix owing to the considerable length of that material.

Corporations Hybrid: A Covid Case Study On Innovation In Business Law Pedagogy, Seth C. Oranburg, David D. Tamasy

Law Faculty Scholarship

A worldwide pandemic is forcing schools to close their doors. Yet the need to teach students remains. How can faculty – especially those who are not trained in technology-mediated teaching – maintain educational continuity? This Essay provides some suggestions and relatively quick and easy strategies for distance education in this time of coronavirus. While it is written from the perspective of teaching law school, it can be applied to teaching other humanities such as philosophy, literature, religion, political theory, and other subjects that do not easily lend themselves to charts, graphs, figures, and diagrams. This Essay includes an introductory technology …

Behavioral Response To Multi-Channel Environmental Noise: Tracking Noise-Induced Changes In Daily Locomotor Patterns And Mate Attraction Strategies In Acheta Domesticus, Nicole Abate

Master's Theses and Capstones

Communication is essential in biotic systems, and signals represent information exchanged between a sender and receiver. Noise can interfere with the transmission, detection, and processing of signals, and can occur in any sensory channel. Noise can also disrupt behaviors related to foraging, predator detection and avoidance, and social interactions. Most research on the effects of noise on animal behavior has been focused on its effects on terrestrial avian species and marine mammals in an isomodal context, with data on invertebrates generally sparse. Many insects have highly adapted structures for sound and vibration detection, and thus make ideal models for studying …

Brain Networks Underlying Inhibition In Traumatic Brain Injury And In Autism Spectrum Disorders, Gwyneth Faith Peacock

Master's Theses and Capstones

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are clinical populations with social cognition difficulties, exhibited by deficits in controlling impulsive or perseverative behaviors. These difficulties have been attributed to executive functioning (EF) impairments, particularly for inhibition. Thus, understanding the neural bases of inhibition is preliminary to understanding EF impairments in populations like ASD and TBI. A coordinate-based meta-analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies was used to identify the neural basis of response inhibition in neurotypical adults to compare with TBI and ASD. Inclusion criteria for studies required reported foci for adults (17+ years of age), reported …

Relative And Absolute Price Efficiency In Stock Markets: Could Behavioral Finance And Efficient Markets Both Be Correct?, James Ryan Hickey

Doctoral Dissertations

Prior research on stock prices has found that most variation in stock prices is attributable to variation in expected returns rather than cash flows. Prices exhibit “excess volatility” and are too persistent to be explained in terms of cash flows. This finding has contributed to the divergence between the so-called “behavioral finance” school of research and advocates of “efficient markets.” I examine whether the relation between fundamentals and prices is stronger in relative stock prices than absolute stock prices. I also explore whether the reasons for the excess volatility and persistence problems may be attributable to structural change.

Peer Victimization And Delinquency: A Longitudinal Analysis Of Their Relationships, Nicholas Alexander Adams

Doctoral Dissertations

The correlation between peer victimization and delinquency has long been established in the sociological and criminological literatures. However, the research to this point has focused on one or the other as an outcome. This study addresses this gap in the literature by teasing out a causal relationship between them. By using 3 waves of the Developmental Victimization Survey, peer victimization and delinquency are treated as both predictors and outcomes for each other. In doing so, this study finds evidence to support a causal relationship between experiencing peer victimization at wave 1 and later delinquent behavior at wave 3. It also …
