The Atheist Trap, Or The Argument From Design And Scientific Falsification, Joseph R. Mixie

Open Access Master's Theses

The argument from design is one of the most widely debated arguments for the existence of God. There has been much written in support of and in criticism of the argument's basic structure and conclusion. I shall attempt to clarify these positions, and to argue that the theistic account provides a more rationally justified explanation of human life on earth than the atheistic account.

Many philosophers think that any proof for the existence of God is mere "metaphysical speculation." Many times these philosophers use the criteria of scientific empiricism as the standard for an "acceptable" scientific theory, regardless of the …

Career Decision-Making And Self-Esteem In College Honors Students, Denise Anne Godin

Open Access Master's Theses

The career decision-making processes and global self-esteem of the University of Rhode Island Fall, 1992 honors students were analyzed.

Models Of Shame, Family Functioning, And Psychosocial Outcomes In A College Population, Sherri Nelson Fitts

Open Access Dissertations

An empirical investigation of shame was conducted, using a structural equation modeling approach with a sample of 750 undergraduates. The general model being tested involved three sets of latent constructs: functioning as the independent variable, shame as the mediating variable, and five psychosocial outcomes as the dependent variables. Five models were generated, one per outcome variable. Three of the outcomes were maladaptive ones: substance use, depression, and suicide ideation. The remaining two, risk-taking propensity and achievement orientation, were more neutrally toned. It was hypothesized that family dysfunctioning would be directly related to shame; and in turn, shame would be directly …
