You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself, Justin. Bright Jan 2008

You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself, Justin. Bright

Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009

Research on Kohlberg's theory of moral development has examined moral development by examining individuals' justice operations. However, how the moral emotions are related to moral development has been neglected. In a sample of mostly undergraduates (N=53), moral development (measured using an index of higher-level moral reasoning and one of reasoning consistency from the Defining Issues Test) and the moral emotions of guilt, shame, empathy, and self-esteem were measured. Shame was positively related to higher moral reasoning (r=.26, p

Own-Age Bias And Memory For Events, Danielle L. Boutté Jan 2008

Own-Age Bias And Memory For Events, Danielle L. Boutté

Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009

Event memory studies have shown that older adults typically have poorer memories for events than do younger adults. Unfortunately, these studies tested memory for events that contained only young adults as the actors. It could be that the younger adults remembered the events better due to an own-age bias. One particular type of event memory error is called unconscious transference. In unconscious transference, a binding error results in false conjunction memories. Several studies have shown that older adults are more likely to make these errors. This study aims to look more closely at the effects of own-age bias on face …

Grassroots Gospel, Lauren. Bimmler Jan 2008

Grassroots Gospel, Lauren. Bimmler

Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009

The presence of music, especially in the form of freedom songs, is a notable constant in the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Participants sang spirituals and freedom songs everywhere in the South - at mass meetings, demonstrations, and in jails. An engaging and participatory activity, singing unified, empowered, and historicized activists, allowing everyone an opportunity to be included in the action. Without these songs, the African-American communities across the South may not have been able to band together to become such a force for change; while the activists were the facilitators for progress, the songs were …

Painful State Of Pleasure In Charlotte Brontèe's Jane Eyre, Michelle. Cannon Jan 2008

Painful State Of Pleasure In Charlotte Brontèe's Jane Eyre, Michelle. Cannon

Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009

The heroine of Charlotte Brontèe's Jane Eyre is torn between her physical desire to remain close to Mr. Rochester and her psychological need for distance from him. Jane's need for distance tends to dominate her desire for closeness, and this internal conflict is reproduced externally in her relationship with Rochester, with Rochester's desire for physical proximity conflicting with Jane's desire for distance. These internal and external power struggles create a healthy sense of tension necessary both to Jane, and to her relationship with Rochester because it prevents either of them from being fully satisfied, and ensures that both remain in …

On The Internal Border: Colonial Difference, The Cold War, And The Locations Of "Underdevelopment", Alyosha Goldstein Jan 2008

On The Internal Border: Colonial Difference, The Cold War, And The Locations Of "Underdevelopment", Alyosha Goldstein

American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications

In 1962, the recently established Peace Corps announced plans for an intensive field training initiative that would acclimate the agency's burgeoning multitude of volunteers to the conditions of poverty in "underdeveloped" countries and immerse them in "foreign" cultures ostensibly similar to where they would be later stationed. This training was designed to be "as realistic as possible, to give volunteers a 'feel' of the situation they will face." With this purpose in mind, the Second Annual Report of the Peace Corps recounted, "Trainees bound for social work in Colombian city slums were given on-the-job training in New York City's Spanish …

Conscious And Unconscious Processes In Human Desire, J Andrade, J May, Dk Kavanagh Jan 2008

Conscious And Unconscious Processes In Human Desire, J Andrade, J May, Dk Kavanagh

School of Psychology

Elaborated Intrusion theory (Kavanagh, Andrade & May 2005) distinguishes between unconscious, associative processes as the precursors of desire, and controlled processes of cognitive elaboration that lead to conscious sensory images of the target of desire and associated affect. We argue that these mental images play a key role in motivating human behavior. Consciousness is functional in that it allows competing goals to be compared and evaluated. The role of effortful cognitive processes in desire helps to explain the different time courses of craving and physiological withdrawal.

Aph(L)Orisms (Maximus In Minimis), Florentin Smarandache Jan 2008

Aph(L)Orisms (Maximus In Minimis), Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This collection of “aphlorisms” resulted from a search in my old manuscripts. At that time I was preoccupied everyday with noting down in my little notebook various interesting-to-me expressions that I heard or that came to my mind. Etymologically, aphorism + floral = aph(L)orism, which is a short reflection written on a floral design, or a short poetry accompanied by an artistic background. They are colorful contemplations. Maximus in minimis (Lat.) means very much in very little [max in min], or condensed thought, or ideating essence. They are actually maxims, adages, sayings mostly in one line (uni-stich) with a title, …
