Foreword Symposium: Interdisciplinary Perspectives On Fear And Risk Perception In Times Of Democratic Crisis:, Christina E. Wells, Jennifer K. Robbennolt

Missouri Law Review

The terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001, the implentation of the USA PATRIOT ACT, and the government's indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" have all sparked renewed interest in the balance between security and liberty in times of crisis. Recently, legal scholars have debated topics ranging from the constitutionality and wisdom of the government's responses to terror to the appropriate roles for institutional actors and the public in national security decisions. While these debates have contributed enormously to the public discussion that is the foundation of a democratic society, they have not completely captured the complexities of governmental responses to crisis. …

Questioning Deference, Christina E. Wells

Missouri Law Review

Part I of this Article discusses executive branch actions in the crises discussed earlier and identifies a pattern of response to certain perceived threated. Part II assesses this historical pattern in light of a psychological understanding of risk assessment, concluding that the pattern is consistent with predictably skewed risk assessment. Part III discusses the psychology of accountability and the possibility that judicial review can serve as a mechanism of accountability and improve executive decision making.

Other Disciplines, Methodologies, And Countries: Studying Courts And Crisis, Tracey E. George

Missouri Law Review

The United States is at war: in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and against terrorism. This symposium asks the timely question: How do governments and their citizens respond to fear and risk in times of crisis? In the essay, I begin by framing the issue very briefly. I then argue that understanding this issue requires scholars to follow Epstein and Wells by looking to other disciplines, methodologies, and countries.

What's Fear Got To Do With It - It's Affect We Need To Worry About, Paul Slovic

Missouri Law Review

My objective in this paper is to provide psychological perspective on the challenges to rational decision making in the face of terrorism and other risk crisis. I shall begin with an introduction to the psychology of risk, highlighting the role of affect and its contribution to what may be called “risk as feeling.” I shall then address the need to educate and inform citizens about risks from terrorism and some of the particular challenges this entails.

Perceptions Of Terrorism And Disease Risks: A Cross-National Comparison, Neal Feigenson, Daniel Bailis, William Klein

Missouri Law Review

This article seeks to demonstrate why is important for policy makers to understand how people evaluate health and safety risks. This type of understanding is essential to communicate policy and to anticipate public reactions. Current events have caused many people across the globe to feel more at risk than previous generations, making this inquiry especially relevant.

Fear: A Story In Three Parts, Rachel F. Moran

Missouri Law Review

This article reflects on the story of Army PFC Jesse A. Givens. It is a story of fear in three parts. I hope to gain understanding of emotion as part of a private experience, and interpersonal communication, and a public event. As the story will show, fear can be defined in purely cognitive terms. Fear can also be defined as “cognition plus.” Argued here is that a purely cognitive approach is inadequate for a complete analysis of emotion’s role in collective decision-making. What seems critical is that proponents of both pure cognition and cognition plus move beyond definitions of emotion …

Two Mistakes Behavioralists Make: A Response To Professors Feigenson Et Al. And Professor Slovic, Thomas A. Lambert

Missouri Law Review

This article provides a critique of Professors Feigenson and Slovic's submissions to the Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Fear and Risk Perception in Times of Democratic Crisis Symposium. Examined are two common mistakes that behaviorists make; 1) discounting the rational account too quickly and 2) reflexively advocating a governmental "fix."

Fear And Risk In Times Of Crisis: The Media's Challenge, Richard C. Reuben

Missouri Law Review

With five to ten minutes to comment at the very end of an intellectually exhilarating two-day symposium, I am quite frankly tempted to say "You know, they've all got a point," and leave it at that. But this has been an important discussion, and in this comment I'd like to at least try to make a small contribution to it.

Eating The Poisonous Fruit: The Eighth Circuit Will Not Exclude Derivative Evidence From A Miranda Violation, Kerry F. Schonwald

Missouri Law Review

Today almost anyone who has ever turned on a television is familiar with the four Miranda warnings. However, the general public is probably not aware of what happens when those rights are violated. In United States v. Villalba-Alvarado, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals joined the Third and Fourth Circuits in holding that the poisonous fruit doctrine does not apply to physical evidence derived from a Miranda violation.

Effects Of Shift Work On Employee Retention: An Examination Of Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, And Stress-Based Explanations, Kristin Elizabeth Charles

Dissertations and Theses

Shift work is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society, with 17% of the full-time work force and 36% of the part-time work force working non-standard shifts (Beers, 2000). The goal of this study was to explore the relationships between several shift work variables and retention of employees working in a retail organization that is open 24-hours a day. Results indicated no significant differences between workers in fixed versus mixed shift schedules on job satisfaction or role stress. Contrary to my hypothesis, mixed shift workers reported higher levels of commitment and remained with the organization longer than fixed shift workers. As …

Memahami "Cultural Studies" Dan Multikulturalisme Dari Perspektif Pascamodern, Akhyar Yusuf Lubis

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Cultural studies is a study of culture, the paradigm of which is quite different from that of the conventional (i.e. modern) studies. If we accept this view, it means that the whole problem of cultural reality, epistemology, and methodology cannot be used to understand and investigate cultural studies and multiculturalism. The infeasibility of using conventional study of culture to apprehend cultural studies and multiculturalism is related with the principle of incommensurability between those two fields, so there are different worldviews and rules (language games) between the two. This difference is vividly showed in character and model of study that conceives …

The Relationship Among Various Learner Characteristics And Reading Achievement As Measured By The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, Amanda A. Privé

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
