A Systematic Review Of Citizen Journalism Scholarship From 2000 To 2017, Young Eun Moon, Meredith L. Morgoch, Seungahn Nah

Iowa Journal of Communication

This paper examines how the scholarship of citizen journalism has evolved since the early 2000s. Despite the prolific literature, few studies have taken a systematic approach to examine theories, conceptual definitions, and outcomes. A systematic review of relevant citizen journalism literature was employed to discover how citizen journalism research has evolved over the years, what theories have been used in research, and what features of citizen journalism is discussed in scholarship. According to the results, most of studies are limited to asking for journalists' reactions, and value of citizen journalists focusing on specific cases, and the majority of research uses …

Losing As And Fs: What Works For Schools Implementing Standards-Based Grading?, Matt Townsley, Tom Buckmiller

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this essay is to document what works when K-12 schools implement standards-based grading through a deep dive into related literature and to suggest areas for future considerations. To ignore what others are doing and what is presented in the research literature on teaching and learning is not only inefficient, it is also irresponsible and unprofessional (Gupton, 2010). As more schools work to implement a robust teaching, learning and assessment system, K-12 teachers and administrators in the early stages of redesigning their grading practices will be looking towards the successes and struggles of early adopters in order to …

Investigating Relationships Between Student Burnout And Classroom Communication Behavior, Jordan Atkinson, Mary E. Donato, Elijah Smith, Gannon Cornley Iii

Iowa Journal of Communication

Previous research investigating student burnout relating to undergraduate students discovered that burnout has detrimental effects on academic performance and engagement (Schaufeli, Martinez, Pinto, Salanova, & Bakker, 2002). The purpose of this research was to extend the research on undergraduate student burnout by investigating its relationships with interest, engagement, and in-class oral participation. Participants were 120 undergraduate students enrolled at a small Midwestern university. Results indicated that all three dimensions of student burnout were negatively related to emotional interest and cognitive interest. With regard to student engagement: (a) diminished efficacy was negatively related to all four types of student engagement; (b) …

Communcation Matters: Mother-Daughter Communication In Breast Cancer Prevention In Taiwan, Wan-Lin Chang

Iowa Journal of Communication

Open mother-daughter communication may enhance cancer knowledge, awareness, and prevention behaviors among the family members of cancer survivors. In Taiwan, almost one quarter (24.7 %) of all cancer diagnoses among females are attributed to breast cancer. This study, whose maternal participants are Taiwanese breast cancer survivors, investigated the potential influence of mother-daughter cancer communication on their daughters’ cancer prevention awareness, attitudes and behaviors. The research design employed a concurrent quantitative-dominant mixed method design in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed at the same time. The qualitative research consisted of seven in-depth interviews with daughters of breast …

"We Post Pictures To Prove We Are Best Friends": Igen Friendship Characteristics And Maintenance Strategies, Riley Redd, Mackenzie Regen, Margaret Mcpherson, Sydeney Shaw, Alyssa Cole, Kennedy Johnson, Brianna Lane, Linda Manning

Iowa Journal of Communication

This mixed methods study assesses how iGen experience high school and college friendships. Researchers administered an online survey to 109 undergraduates to test relational maintenance strategies, friendship satisfaction, and friendship solidarity. Results revealed that in high school friendships, most maintenance strategies are positively correlated with satisfaction and solidarity. In college friendships, all maintenance strategies, satisfaction, and solidarity are positively correlated. Semi-structured interviews with 23 undergraduates yielded three themes: origin stories, characteristics of friends, and maintenance strategies. Similarities and differences between high school and college friendships are discussed.

Nssi Stigma Toward Adolescent Girls And Boys, Mackenzie L. Dallenbach

Undergraduate Student Work

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a relatively new subject of attention for psychopathology researchers, and is listed as a Condition for Further Study in the DSM-5 (APA, 2013). Current research on NSSI has utilized primarily female participants, limiting generalizability. Additionally, little research has been conducted with NSSI stigma. Thus, the current study examined whether two things influenced NSSI stigma: the sex of an individual engaging in it, and participant familiarity with NSSI. The results revealed that sex did not influence stigma. Further, there was no correlation between familiarity and NSSI stigma.
