Effective Implementation Of Lean Practices In A Secondary Educational For The Purpose Of More Effectively Preparing Students For A Career In A Manufacturing Setting, Brandon Brooks

Graduate Research Papers

"72 percent of educators believed that graduates were ready for employment, only 45 percent of youth and 42 percent of employers agreed. This data reveals that today's post-secondary education fails to equip people to successfully exploit current and emerging economic opportunities." (Trend, 2015) Educational institutions must equip students for good high paying jobs and post secondary education and training. This means reaching beyond traditional academic settings and practices. It is projected that careers like welding will grow by about 10,000 jobs by 2024. (Department of Labor, 2016) Typical educational requirements for these positions is a high school diploma. (Department of …

When Politeness Is Risky: Positive Politeness And Sexual Debut, Kimberly A. Parker, Bobi Ivanov, Elisia L. Cohen

Iowa Journal of Communication

Although we know partner communication is important for safer sex behavior, we still have much to learn regarding how adolescents manage their sexual communication during initial sexual experiences. To explore these phenomena, researchers conducted 33 in-depth semi-structured interviews of young women retrospectively reflecting on their perception of communication during their first sexual intercourse. Using the framework of Politeness Theory, an inductive interpretive approach identified young women's retrospective framing of their social and sexual identities. As such, the following three concerns were identified: (1) lack of experience, (2) pressure, and (3) relational concerns. Furthermore, the manuscript describes common facework strategies women …

To Tweet Or Not To Tweet: Explaining Fan-Celebrity Interaction On Twitter, Natalie Pennington, Jeffrey A. Hall, Alex Hutchinson

Iowa Journal of Communication

This research sought to explain why individuals attempt to engage with celebrities through Twitter. Hypotheses derived from Social Penetration Theory, parasocial relationships, social cache, individual differences, and personality were tested in two studies. Survey results of Study 1 (N =349) found that a desire to interact arose out of a combination of three factors: (1) communication depth, (2) parasocial relationships, and (3) social cache. Social cache was further validated through an experimental design (N = 208) that used a 2x2x2 design with depth, parasocial relationships, and social cache to assess why some individuals engage with celebrities through Twitter. Both social …

Words Can Hurt The Ones You Love: Interpersonal Trust As It Relates To Listening Anxiety And Verbal Aggression, Natalie S. Hoskins, Alesia Woszidlo, Adrianne Kunkel

Iowa Journal of Communication

The goal of this study was to examine the associations among interpersonal trust, listening anxiety, and verbal aggression in young adult romantic relationships. Listening anxiety is a factor of informational reception apprehension (IRA; Wheeless, Preiss, & Gayle, 1997) derived/ram the perception of one's inability to effectively process information while listening. Undergraduate students (N = 307) from a Midwestern university completed an online questionnaire. Results revealed that listening anxiety was negatively associated with interpersonal trust and that interpersonal trust was negatively associated with verbal aggression. Further, there was a significant indirect effect of listening anxiety on verbal aggression through interpersonal trust, …

College Students' Disclosure Of Mental Health Counseling Utilization, Hannah Butler

Iowa Journal of Communication

Mental health issues have long been stigmatized, which has led to the discrimination against people with mental health problems and to a lack of mental health service utilization. Because of stigma, disclosing mental health problems and the use of mental health services is not an easy task. The discipline of communication has produced many studies on self-disclosure, with special attention given to the disclosure of risky information. Only recently, however, have studies begun exploring individuals' disclosure of mental illness. Few studies examine the disclosure of mental health treatment utilization. The current study explores male and female college students' disclosure of …

Parasite Assemblages Infecting Native Versus An Introduced Population Of Yellow Bass, Rick Klann

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The parasite assemblage infecting yellow bass (Morone mississippiensis) inhabiting their native range was compared to the assemblage infecting an introduced population. The gills and alimentary canal of 47 yellow bass collected from the Mississippi River (native) and 41 yellow bass collected from Otter Creek Lake in Tama County, Iowa, (introduced) were examined for metazoan parasites. Species richness was higher in the sample from the native population compared to the introduced sample (8 versus 3, respectively). Yellow bass from the introduced sample hosted species that were generalist fish parasites, and these infections were at low intensities. On the other …

Blurred Lines: Privacy Management, Family Relationships, And Facebook, Joshua H. Miller, Carly Danielson, Erin Sahlstein Parcell, Kristine Nicolini, Theresa Boucher

Iowa Journal of Communication

Social media has enhanced and complicated family communication dynamics. For example, while Facebook gives many family members a space for connection, "friending" a family member on Facebook, or choosing not to do so, can make privacy management challenging and may serve as a potential source of conflict within the family. Such dynamics inspired the authors to ask college students how Facebook use has negatively influenced their family relationships and communication. Sensitized by Petronio's (2002) Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory, we qualitatively analyzed online survey responses (n = 80) and identified four themes in our participants' family experiences with conflicts related …
