Transportation And Taxes: What New Hampshire Residents Think About Maintaining Highways And Bridges, Linda M. Fogg, Lawrence Hamilton, Erin Bell
Transportation And Taxes: What New Hampshire Residents Think About Maintaining Highways And Bridges, Linda M. Fogg, Lawrence Hamilton, Erin Bell
Carsey Publications
In this brief, authors Linda Fogg, Lawrence Hamilton, and Erin Bell share New Hampshire residents’ responses to questions on the state’s transportation infrastructure in surveys conducted by the University of New Hampshire’s Granite State Poll during 2016 and 2017. They report that only 36 percent of state residents are aware of the worsening conditions of New Hampshire highways and bridges. A thin majority support increased spending on public transportation, while 42 percent support more spending on highway maintenance and environmental protection. Disaster preparation and stormwater management are seen as lower priorities. There is little agreement on the main source of …

Drier Conditions, More Wildfire, And Heightened Concerns About Forest Management In Eastern Oregon, Joel Hartter, Lawrence Hamilton, Mark Ducey, Angela Boag, Nils Chistoffersen, Ethan Belair, Paul Oester, Michael Palace, Forrest Stevens
Drier Conditions, More Wildfire, And Heightened Concerns About Forest Management In Eastern Oregon, Joel Hartter, Lawrence Hamilton, Mark Ducey, Angela Boag, Nils Chistoffersen, Ethan Belair, Paul Oester, Michael Palace, Forrest Stevens
Carsey Publications
This brief examines climate change and forest conditions in eastern Oregon. Eastern Oregon is experiencing warmer, drier conditions and increased numbers of wildfires. Surveys of the Oregon public find that forest health and wildfire threats are widely shared concerns. The more knowledgeable residents say they are about forest management, the more likely they are to say that forests are becoming less healthy. Majorities support active forest management (forest thinning, surface fuel reduction) and restoration to reduce the likelihood of high-severity wildfires that would damage forest resources and threaten local communities. The authors conclude that forests continue to be an important …

Carsey Perspectives: Children In United States, Both White And Black, Are Growing Up In Dramatically Smaller Families, Tony Fahey
Carsey Publications
In this perspectives brief, author Tony Fahey presents novel findings on how much smaller family sizes are among children in the United States today, particularly African American children, than they were fifty years ago. Using data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series from the U.S. Census and the Current Population Survey, he reports that the average African American child was one of 6.53 siblings in 1960 and today is one of 3.18. Because smaller families may enable parents to devote more resources to each child, these trends raise the so-far unrecognized possibility that the fall in children’s family size, …

Does It Matter If People Think Climate Change Is Human Caused?, Joel N. Hartter, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Angela E. Boag, Forrest R. Stevens, Mark J. Ducey, Nils D. Christoffersen, Paul T. Oester, Michael W. Palace
Sociology
There is a growing consensus that climate is changing, but beliefs about the causal factors vary widely among the general public. Current research shows that such causal beliefs are strongly influenced by cultural, political, and identity-driven views. We examined the influence that local perceptions have on the acceptance of basic facts about climate change. We also examined the connection to wildfire by local people. Two recent telephone surveys found that 37% (in 2011) and 46% (in 2014) of eastern Oregon (USA) respondents accept the scientific consensus that human activities are now changing the climate. Although most do not agree with …

Staying In Place During Times Of Change In Arctic Alaska: The Implications Of Attachment,Alternatives, And Buffering, Henry P. Huntington, Philip A. Loring, Glenna Gannon, Shari Fox Gearheard, S. Craig Gerlach, Lawrence C. Hamilton
Sociology
The relationship between stability and change in social-ecological systems has received considerable attention in recent years, including the expectation that significant environmental changes will drive observable consequences for individuals, communities, and populations. Migration, as one example of response to adverse economic or environmental changes, has been observed in many places, including parts of the Far North. In Arctic Alaska, a relative lack of demographic or migratory response to rapid environmental and other changes has been observed. To understand why Arctic Alaska appears different, we draw on the literature on environmentally driven migration, focusing on three mechanisms that could account for …

Beauty Is Pain: Black Women’S Identity And Their Struggle With Embracing Their Natural Hair, Yamilex Bencosme
Beauty Is Pain: Black Women’S Identity And Their Struggle With Embracing Their Natural Hair, Yamilex Bencosme
Perspectives
In the United States Black hair is viewed negatively because of its difference. Black females often deal with societal pressures to alter their kinky, curly hair from its natural state. To date, the social pressure of adopting a more Eurocentric (reflective of European descent—such as long, straight hair) look begins at an early age through socialization. The Eurocentric beauty standard plays a huge role in Black women’s positive self-identity and their perceptions of their own beauty. At an early age, specifically between ages three and four, African American children have a good understanding of what “good” hair means and the …

Students answered nominal and ordinal questions about their gender identity, as well as Likert-scale questions regarding opinions on safety while walking on campus. The results of the survey showed correlation between gender identity and sense of safety while walking alone at night, however, the survey showed no correlation between gender identity and sense of safety while walking at night with a friend. Collecting data from a larger …
Evaluating The Effects Of Intergroup Interactions And Color-Blind Racism On Perceptions Of University Campus Cultural Climate, Emily Haley
Perspectives
This study examines college students at a large, public university in the Northeast and their perception of the campus’s cultural climate. The online survey was completed by 362 students whose responses were used to answer the following research questions: “Does the frequency of interactions with people from other cultures affect one’s perception of campus cultural climate?” and “Is there a difference between people who experience color-blind racial attitudes and their perceptions of campus cultural climate compared to those who do not experience color-blind racial attitudes?” Results showed that frequency of interactions was significantly correlated with perceptions of acceptance, and color-blind …

Post-Racial Ideology And Implicit Racial Bias, Elliot Chiang
Perspectives
This study assesses college students from the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and their attitudes and opinions toward people of color, specifically looking at racial/ethnic identity and campus social climate. With 362 respondents from the University of New Hampshire who answered our online survey, it looked at the participants’ post-racial ideologies and the participant’s racial/ethnic identity. This study finds that there is a correlation between racial identity and post-racial beliefs. The study found that 82 percent of the student respondents did not believe that we, as a society, lived in a post-racial America. It was also discovered that the student …
Student Commuters: Unpacking The Factors Influencing How High School Students Travel To School, Alexander Chase
Student Commuters: Unpacking The Factors Influencing How High School Students Travel To School, Alexander Chase
Perspectives
As environmental concerns grow, obesity rates rise, and people become further distanced from nature, some activists and public health advocates are encouraging the use of more physical modes of transportation over driving. The limited literature on commuters’ transit decisions mainly focuses on adults living in urbanized environments while paying scant attention to driving-aged teenagers, despite the importance of their daily commutes to school. Because this group is at a pivotal point in the transition to adulthood, it is likely that their decisions and behavior at this stage of life will have long-term implications for their routines concerning exercise, diet, health, …
The Effect Of Paid Work On Academic Performance Amongst Unh Undergraduate Students, Austin Genett
The Effect Of Paid Work On Academic Performance Amongst Unh Undergraduate Students, Austin Genett
Perspectives
This study examines the effects of working a part-time job while enrolled in classes full time amongst college students. There were a total of 459 respondents from a large, public university in the Northeast who responded to an online survey. The survey analyzed the differences in Grade Point Averages (GPAs) between students based on the number of hours they worked per week. It also considered whether the position worked related to a given student’s field of study. The results suggest that working 30 hours is a threshold for when students’ GPAs are negatively affected, and that working in a position …
The Influence Of School Segregation On Students’ Educational Achievement, Lea Vivian
The Influence Of School Segregation On Students’ Educational Achievement, Lea Vivian
Perspectives
This literature review evaluates how race, geographical location, and socioeconomic status impacts a student’s educational achievement. These variables affect educational success, which is impacted by the history of housing and racial segregation in the United States. The discussion will include why schools are segregated and how this has an impact on a student’s education by looking at different studies and theories such as the Black Culture theory and the Acting White Hypothesis. Even in desegregated schools, “tracking” separates and further segregates races in the educational system. The literature review concludes with a summary of the findings, importance, and future research …
Suicide Rates As They Vary By Region, Sexuality, And Gender, Evan Smith
Suicide Rates As They Vary By Region, Sexuality, And Gender, Evan Smith
Perspectives
Suicide rates are not consistent worldwide. They vary in a wide variety of ways. Region, sexuality, and gender are all factors that influence suicide. This essay examines the manners in which region, sexuality, and gender influence suicide by themselves and, in some cases, with each other. It offers explanations for why they do so. Finally, this paper aims to give suggestions on future research regarding suicide and future policies to help reduce suicide rates.

A Demographic And Economic Profile Of Duluth, Minnesota, And Superior, Wisconsin, Andrew P. Schaefer, Marybeth J. Mattingly, Douglas J. Gagnon
Carsey Publications
In this brief, authors Andrew Schaefer, Marybeth Mattingly, and Douglas Gagnon present a demographic and economic profile of Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin, with a specific focus on families with children. Analyzing data from the American Community Survey and U.S. Decennial Census on family income and poverty, they compare—wherever possible—conditions in Duluth and Superior to those in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the nation as a whole. They report that, in both Duluth and Superior, poverty among families with children has increased substantially in the last 15 years; by 2010 and 2015, family poverty was higher in each city than across the …
