The Limits Of Behavioral Economics In Tort Law, Daniel Pi Nov 2021

The Limits Of Behavioral Economics In Tort Law, Daniel Pi

Law Faculty Scholarship

Skeptics of rational choice theory have long predicted that behavioral economics would radically transform the legislation, adjudication, and analysis of law. Using tort law as an exemplar, this Article maps out the narrow set of conditions where substantive law can be modified to accommodate irrational decision-makers. Specifically, this Article demonstrates that if injurers are systematically biased, and the due care standard can be expressed quantitatively, and victims are unable to take meaningful precautions, then imposing punitive damages can induce irrational injurers to exercise efficient precautionary care. In all other cases, it is better that the law adopt a presumption of …

The Role Of Leadership With Compassion Fatigue In Caregiving Professions, Ashley Kitchell Oct 2021

The Role Of Leadership With Compassion Fatigue In Caregiving Professions, Ashley Kitchell

M.S. in Leadership

Compassion fatigue is an issue that has plagued caregiving fields for years. The burnout, stress and lack of support has been a topic of discussion that is ongoing due to constant research and interest on the ever-popular topic. Though there is much research, the problem still exists. This paper looks at how management and leadership play a role on compassion fatigue, coping strategies and skills needed to help mitigate the symptoms, and what more is needed. Through my research, I found that the most influential piece regarding compassion fatigue in caregiving professions relies heavily on the management styles and workplace …

Casebooks, Bias, And Information Literacy—Do Law Librarians Have A Duty?, Kathleen Fletcher Sep 2021

Casebooks, Bias, And Information Literacy—Do Law Librarians Have A Duty?, Kathleen Fletcher

Law Faculty Scholarship

The third principle of the American Association of Law Libraries’ Principles and Standards for Legal Research Competencies states, “A successful researcher critically evaluates information.” This evaluation includes evaluating legal information of material under criteria of “authority, credibility, currency, authenticity, relevance, and bias. ”Does this standard include information contained in legal casebooks? This article’s goal is to show examples of case treatment in casebooks in Constitutional Law, Property, and Civil Procedure which demonstrate authors’ biases in their selection and editing of cases. Under the AALL standards and the ACRL Standards and Framework for Information literacy, librarians should teach students how to …

Altered Alpha Oscillatory Power Dynamics Underlie Difficulties With Cognitive Flexibility, Nicole Forner Sep 2021

Altered Alpha Oscillatory Power Dynamics Underlie Difficulties With Cognitive Flexibility, Nicole Forner

Doctoral Dissertations

Cognitive flexibility is an important mental faculty, but there are certain populations that experience reduced flexibility, which may be associated with altered neural activity. Rumination is when an individual becomes mentally stuck on a thought, and they experience difficulty shifting their attention away from the ruminative thought demonstrating reduced cognitive flexibility. In a similar manner, individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder show varying degrees of attentional bias towards drug related stimuli. The drug cues capture attention, and it is difficult for these individuals to shift attention away from thoughts related to drug cues. Both populations experience difficulty shifting attention when …


The Dissemination And Reproduction Of Dominant Ideologies On Social Media: Reddit Through The Lens Of Color-Blind Racism And Gender-Blind Sexism, Paul Anskat Sep 2021

The Dissemination And Reproduction Of Dominant Ideologies On Social Media: Reddit Through The Lens Of Color-Blind Racism And Gender-Blind Sexism, Paul Anskat

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explores the frameworks of color-blind racism and gender-blind sexism as they are disseminated through the social media site Reddit. I analyze data in the form of posts and comments submitted to the site. Qualitative discourse analysis reveals employment of the frames of color-blindness and gender-blindness as well as narratives which function to anchor the dominant ideologies to apparent lived experiences. This dissertation offers two major contributions to the scholarship of racism and sexism. First, the findings demonstrate that ideologies of race and gender are often articulated through common narratives and intertwined rhetoric, establishing a foundation for future research …


The Influence Of Third Parties, Perfectionism, And Familial Socioeconomic Status On College Student Mental Health And Perceptions Of Social Support, Amanda Fontaine Sep 2021

The Influence Of Third Parties, Perfectionism, And Familial Socioeconomic Status On College Student Mental Health And Perceptions Of Social Support, Amanda Fontaine

Doctoral Dissertations

Mental health has long been a fruitful area of sociological inquiry, and much remains to be illuminated about the ways in which the social context and intrapersonal factors intersect to impact individuals’ psychological wellbeing. Among college students particularly, stresses such as academic pressure and interpersonal conflicts contribute to the degradation of mental health. While sociological theories such as the stress process perspective have long been employed to study linkages between stress and mental wellbeing among this population, few studies have examined the specific characteristics of social relationships most beneficial to students in distress. Utilizing survey responses collected from both public …


Seneca, The Humors, And Revenge Tragedy, Andrew Stesienko Sep 2021

Seneca, The Humors, And Revenge Tragedy, Andrew Stesienko

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation argues that moral and religious authorities of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods adapted rules for emotional governance from Senecan philosophy. These Senecan rules helped institute a performance-based approach to managing emotion, which relied on programmatic meditation, rhetoric, and behavior to change one’s emotional state. This approach ostensibly offered more personal control over affective inclination, which according to the period’s Galenic paradigms, was heavily influenced by environmental and physiological factors. My project examines revenge tragedy to highlight Senecan-inspired affect management as practiced by aspiring avengers. Because revenging hopefuls must amplify and then mobilize their feelings in order to achieve …


A Longitudinal Examination Of The Mediating Role Of Various Sources Of Social Support On The Relation Between Peer And Sibling Victimization And Adolescent Delinquency, Katie Chantlos Sep 2021

A Longitudinal Examination Of The Mediating Role Of Various Sources Of Social Support On The Relation Between Peer And Sibling Victimization And Adolescent Delinquency, Katie Chantlos

Master's Theses and Capstones

Peer victimization has proven to be a prevalent issue for children and adolescents. The current study examined the possible bidirectional effect between peer and sibling victimization and delinquency, and assessed whether social support from family, friends, and other non-parental adults would mediate this association. Using longitudinal data from the Technology Harassment Victimization study, 791 participants were surveyed via telephone. Bivariate correlations were calculated first, and two Poisson regressions predicting delinquency and peer and sibling victimization at Time 2 were also performed. Three structural equation models with cross-lagged designs were also calculated. In the Poisson regressions, family and other adult social …


Relationship Form And Function: Exploring Meaning-Making In Young Adults' Romantic Histories, Tyler B. Jamison, Caroline M. Sanner Aug 2021

Relationship Form And Function: Exploring Meaning-Making In Young Adults' Romantic Histories, Tyler B. Jamison, Caroline M. Sanner

Faculty Publications

Forming stable, supportive romantic relationships is an important determinant of well-being for adults. Yet, there has been limited research about if and how prior romantic experiences help individuals develop the capacity to enter into such unions. Using grounded theory methods, relationship history interviews were conducted with 35 young adults who provided data about 256 romantic and sexual relationships. The different relationship forms (e.g., hooking up, casual dating, committed partnering) were found to contribute in nuanced ways to romantic development. Specifically, romantic development was characterized by gaining romantic experience, identifying preferences for partners and partnership, and learning to maintain healthy relational …
