Do Nhl Teams Regard Violence As A Positive Player Attribute And Thus Compensate For Violent Acts?, Mitch Zimmerman

Major Themes in Economics

Hockey has always been a violent sport. Major injuries in sports have made headlines in recent years, so it is important to understand how National Hockey League (NHL) organizations view, use, and sometimes abuse violence. It’s not a secret that some players in the NHL don’t fit the general profile of a skilled hockey player. This paper investigates whether the unofficial title of “enforcer” really exists in the NHL by showing whether teams compensate certain players with non-typical or “enforcer” skill sets. Using a clustering analysis and a regression analysis there is a clear indication that NHL organizations do in …

Education And Fertility: The Effect Of Field Of Study On Women’S Fertility Decisions, Emily Scholtes

Major Themes in Economics

This study aims to identify the relationship between field of study and women’s fertility among U.S. college graduates. Using data from the 2010 American Community Survey, this study provides the first Poisson regression analysis to compare the number of children women have with women’s undergraduate fields of study. Of the 37 fields of study that are examined, I find 22 fields are statistically significant, suggesting that field of study is a significant factor in how many children a woman decides to have.

Vmanagement: Initial Exploration Of Management Practice, M. Susan Wurtz, Dale Cyphert, Leslie K. Duclos

Faculty Work

For several years, the authors have maintained a simulation (sim) in Second LifeTM, with management responsibility for allocating sim resources across research and instructional projects, some of which involved working with residents. Although not originally anticipated to be a research site in management theory and practice, the project presented an unexpected pattern of difficulty and an unexpectedly rich case study to examine why and how the virtual environment generated norms of power and empowerment for which traditional management practice was not effective. We conducted a theoretical thematic analysis on a body of conversation transcripts, meeting agendas and minutes, email messages …

Teaching Primary Grade Students Perfectionism Through Cartoons Compared To Bibliotherapy, Miranda L. Zousel, Audrey C. Rule, Stephanie R. Logan

Curriculum & Instruction Faculty Publications

This experimental study compared concept acquisition and enjoyment of learning about perfectionism under two conditions: bibliotherapy (control) and analysis and construction of cartoons (experimental) in first, second and third grade students (N=46). Posttest results showed students learned significantly more content in the experimental condition with a medium effect size. Students were more engaged in the cartoon condition, appreciating the humor and opportunity to be creative. Most students reported liking the bibliotherapy but some complained of boredom. The authors recommend that both bibliotherapy and cartoon analysis be used in lessons about perfectionism to maintain student interest and comprehension of concepts.

Women Leaders In The Rwandan Genocide: When Women Choose To Kill, Donna J. Maier

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

The role of women as perpetrators in the Rwanda Genocide has been documented much more so than that of women in other genocides and crimes against humanity: more than in the holocaust of World War II, than in the massacres of Mayan Guatemala's Indians in 1982, and more even than in the widespread atrocities that accompanied the break-up of the former Yugoslavia which were virtually concurrent with the Rwanda Genocide. It is not entirely clear why this is the case. Testimonies of women perpetrators and victims were collected in the immediate aftermath of the Rwandan Genocide by various human rights …

Bending Rules And Breaking Hearts: The Postville Raid And Its Constitutional Shortcomings, Raeann Swanson

Graduate Student Work

Prior to May 2008, Postville, like many other small towns in Iowa, was relatively obscure. The town's claim to fame had been Stephen Bloom's Postville: A Clash of Culture in the Heartland published in 2000 and the corresponding PBS documentary "Postville: When Cultures Collide. Both highlighted the growing diversity as Hasidic Jews made Postville their home, a shtetl in rural Iowa. The Rubashkin family brought rabbis and their families to Postville in 1987 in order to reopen the defunct Hygrade building as a kosher slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant. As the newly named Agriprocessors grew, managers sought employees who were willing …

Temperament, Cynicism, And The Effects Of Advertising On Voters' Evaluation Of Candidates, Jerry L. Allen, Eun-A Park, Danette Lfert Johnson, Joan O'Mara, Kathleen M. Long, Mark Hickson Iii

Iowa Journal of Communication

During the 2008 presidential election, 222 potential young voters (age 18- 24) participated in a study investigating the effects of their self-reported temperament, levels of political cynicism, perceptions of candidates' credibility, attraction, and issue competence on candidate preference before and after viewing television ads for Barack Obama and John McCain. Results indicate the temperament traits of conscientiousness and neuroticism are predictive of voters' political cynicism, perception of candidates' credibility, attraction, issue competence, and likelihood of supporting a particular candidate. In addition to these groundbreaking results, it was confirmed that even short term exposure to political spots produces changes in young …

Analyzing Journalistic Approaches Of Supreme Court Nominee Hearings: A Longitundinal Study, Lindsey A. Harvell, Gwendelyn S. Nisben, Glenn J. Hansen

Iowa Journal of Communication

The current study explores how coverage of U.S. Supreme Court nominee hearings has changed during the past three decades. Game framing is argued to be seeping its way from purely political coverage into other types of news coverage. Changes in hearing characteristics were examined across time by examining several newspapers and Supreme Court nominee hearings from William H. Rehnquist through Elena Kagan. Findings suggested coverage of nominee hearings is increasingly game framed, thus nominee hearing news coverage is increasingly presented in terms of political strategy and posturing. Normative implications of game framing of Supreme Court hearings are discussed.

The Educational Challenges Of Living In Poverty, David A. Wendt, Lora L. Wolff

Iowa Journal of Communication
